Safety or Illegals? Democrats Refuse to Choose

Last week, Democrats were challenged with a simple question: Does the American government exist to protect American citizens — or illegal aliens? They refused to stand. Today’s episode connects the dots between border policy, national security, Iranian nationals released into the U.S., sanctuary cities, and the broader geopolitical reshuffling following U.S. military action against Iran. We examine: Over 1,200 Iranian nationals reportedly released into the U.S. under Joe Biden Over 2 million known “gotaways” at the southern border A former member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps allegedly released in Minneapolis The role of sanctuary policies The global fallout from U.S. strikes and the strategic implications for Russia, China, oil markets, and the dollar Plus: Is this Iraq 2.0 — or something very different? Opening Tease (On-Air Hook) If the first duty of government is to protect its citizens… why won’t some leaders say so out loud? And how many unknown individuals crossed the border while Washington looked the other way?
