Fmr. Commissioner Of U.S. CBP Mark Morgan: “We’re Gonna Be A Sanctuary Country” Under Kamala Harris
Mark Morgan, former FBI agent and head of Border Patrol under President Trump, discussed the current state of U.S. border security. He criticized the Biden administration’s handling of immigration, noting that while the administration claims numbers are decreasing, the reality is that illegal crossings are simply being redirected. Morgan explained that the administration’s policies, including the use of the CBP One app and changes in asylum procedures, are designed to obscure the true extent of the problem.
Morgan highlighted alarming statistics: over 11 million encounters with illegal immigrants, including more than 12,000 individuals on the FBI terror watch list, and a dramatic increase in drug trafficking and violent crime. He also emphasized the misuse of parole and asylum laws to facilitate the entry of illegal immigrants into the U.S., arguing that this represents a deliberate effort to undermine border security.
“The numbers are being manipulated. The administration is not stopping illegal immigration; they are just shifting it around,” Morgan said. He stressed the need for a decisive change in policy, advocating for the reinstatement of effective measures such as the Migrant Protection Protocols and a stronger approach to handling illegal immigrants. He also called for immediate action to restore ICE’s capabilities and pass robust border security legislation to address the ongoing crisis.

Victoria Coates On Kamala’s Decision To Pick Walz Over Shapiro
Victoria Coates, former Deputy National Security Advisor under President Trump and an expert on Middle Eastern policy, addressed the critical issues facing U.S. national security amid growing global instability. In a recent discussion, she highlighted the dangerous implications of current U.S. policies, particularly focusing on the border crisis. Coates emphasized that the current administration’s approach, including the appointment of officials like Governor Tim Walz, is contributing to a significant threat to national security. She noted that Walz, who has controversial ties to radical elements, symbolizes a broader shift towards policies that undermine Western values and security.
Coates warned that this radical transformation is not just theoretical but unfolding in real-time, with increasing numbers of individuals on terrorist watch lists entering the U.S. She compared this situation to the turmoil seen in Europe, underscoring the urgency of addressing these issues before they escalate further. As she put it, "There is an entire march underway against our way of life,” stressing the need for immediate action to protect national security and preserve democratic values.
E.J. Antoni On U.S. Debt
EJ Antoni, from the Heritage Foundation, discusses the Federal Reserve’s and Treasury’s current economic policies, suggesting they may be manipulating financial metrics to present a more favorable economic picture as the election approaches. Antoni argues that the shift from long-term to short-term debt aims to lower mortgage interest rates and artificially boost liquidity, which he describes as “putting lipstick on a pig.”
Antoni contrasts the current economic situation with the 1970s stagflation era, noting that while past policies included high marginal tax rates and regulatory issues, today’s problems are exacerbated by increased government spending and regulatory costs. He highlights the Trump administration’s regulatory reforms as beneficial for economic growth, contrasting them with the Biden administration’s increase in regulatory costs, which he believes has negated wage gains and worsened inflation.
Antoni emphasizes that excessive government spending and regulatory costs are major barriers to economic growth. He argues that reducing both taxes and spending is crucial to address inflation and restore economic stability. Additionally, he underscores the importance of deregulating energy sectors to lower costs across various industries, which he sees as essential for long-term economic health.
Julio Rosas Exposes Walz’s Abandonment Of Minnesotans’ Safety
Julio Rosas, a journalist who covered the 2020 Minneapolis riots extensively, critiques the handling of the unrest by local leaders. He highlights that under Governor Tim Walz’s watch, the city’s response to the violence was inadequate, particularly the failure to deploy the National Guard in time. Rosas notes that the Minneapolis Police Department was overwhelmed and could have defended the third precinct better with more support. He argues that the burning of the precinct set a precedent for other cities, contributing to similar riots in places like Seattle. Rosas also points out that Kamala Harris’s efforts to support rioters through bail funds were controversial, emphasizing that the repercussions of the 2020 unrest continue to impact American cities today.
Rep. Cory Mills On Tim Walz’s Stolen Valor
Corey Mills, a Congressman from Florida and former military officer, recently shared his perspective on the Minneapolis riots of 2020, emphasizing the severe leadership failures that allowed the chaos to escalate. Mills, who ran for Congress motivated by his experiences and concerns about national security, criticized the response of local and state leaders during the riots.
"The situation in Minneapolis was emblematic of broader issues,” Mills said. He highlighted that Governor Tim Walz and local officials failed to act decisively, which contributed significantly to the widespread destruction. Mills pointed out that the lack of National Guard presence during critical moments left law enforcement officers dangerously exposed, exacerbating the situation.
He also expressed frustration with the broader political response, including Vice President Kamala Harris’s support for bail funds for rioters, which he believes undermined law enforcement efforts. Mills argued that the ineffective handling of the riots and the subsequent reward of such leadership with high-profile positions demonstrates a troubling disregard for the safety and well-being of American communities. His experience and insights underscore the critical need for responsible and effective governance in addressing and preventing similar crises.
Alex Epstein Explains Why The Trump Administration’s Energy Policy Succeed: Focus On Reducing “Restrictions Or Shackling” On Energy Producers
Alex Epstein recently discussed the systemic failures in energy policies and their broader societal impacts. He criticized the current approach to energy, emphasizing that it has led to significant inefficiencies and economic setbacks. Epstein argued that the prevailing energy policies are driven by ideological commitments rather than practical considerations, resulting in increased energy costs and reduced reliability.
Epstein highlighted how these policies have negatively affected both consumers and businesses, contributing to broader economic instability. He contended that the focus on renewable energy sources, while well-intentioned, often overlooks the practical challenges and limitations of these technologies. This, he argued, has led to higher energy prices and less reliable energy supplies.
Moreover, Epstein criticized the failure to adequately support traditional energy sources, which he believes are crucial for maintaining a stable and affordable energy supply. He stressed the need for a balanced approach that includes both renewable and traditional energy sources to ensure energy security and economic stability. His remarks underscore the importance of reevaluating energy policies to address these systemic issues and improve overall energy management.
