Show Open:

• An overthrow of the United States Government would eliminate citizenship, so says Amon Blair!
  • If you eliminate citizenship, assimilation is eliminated as well. You would have a nation of bunch of communities, such as Ilhan Omar’s district in Minneapolis; lawless, lazy and dangerous?
  • Nearly every Somali household with children (89 percent) receives some form of welfare.
  • Among working-age adult Somalis who have lived in the U.S. for more than 10 years, half still cannot speak English “very well”.
  • About 54 percent of Somali-headed households in Minnesota receive food stamps, and 73 percent of Somali households have at least one member on Medicaid. The comparable figures for native households are 7 percent and 18 percent. (Center for Immigration Studies)
• Question: How did importing almost 50,000 Somali’s into the United States benefit our country?

 Panelist: 

Ammon Blair, Senior Fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, is a 20+ year U.S. Border Patrol veteran, and one of the clearest voices on America’s national security and immigration.

Assimilation is not automatic. Allegiance does not arise from exposure to liberal norms alone—it requires enforceable conditions: lawful entry, credible vetting, and clear civic authority.

Modern migration is shaped by transnational criminal networks, terrorist groups, and hostile actors. Many arrivals remain embedded in coercive systems that undermine loyalty to the host state.

State collapse destroys vetting capacity. Admitting individuals who cannot be reliably identified is not compassion; it is a national-security failure. The Somalia–Somaliland contrast shows the core truth: stability follows enforceable sovereignty and defined allegiance, not shared culture or moral appeals. Moral vision depends on political order. Without clear boundaries and enforcement, rival loyalties and extremist networks fill the vacuum. A temporary pause on immigration from high-risk regions is a corrective measure to restore vetting, sovereignty? and ordered liberty—not a punitive one.

• Jacob Frey must be feeling the heat!
  • First of all, he goes on Fox for the first time (now twice) in 24-hours.
  • No longer saying: ICE, GET THE “F” OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS.
  • Frey now says: ICE should do its job. Whatever that means?
  • Could the disclosure by DHS of the illegal scum which has already been rounded up, have turned public opinion against Walz, Frey and Ellison? Sounds like it!

Segment Topic:

• This month, Florida Attorney General James Ulthmier filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood for false advertising.
• Not over a billing dispute or a sloppy ad claim. Instead, the country’s largest abortion provider has been telling women that its “product” — specifically the abortion pill drugs mifepristone and misoprostol — is “as safe as taking a Tylenol.”
  • The truth is far more serious.
• As a Florida mother of four daughters, I’m relieved to see our state officials recognize the increased risks of taking the abortion pill and the life that it ends inside the womb. Planned Parenthood should be held accountable for deceiving women and killing their preborn children. Furthermore, the FDA should take note and remove its approval of all abortion drugs and review these risks in-depth for the safety of all women.
• The Florida lawsuit claims that Planned Parenthood’s campaign to induce women to purchase abortion drugs by misrepresenting the risks of chemical abortion violates the Florida law. The gross misrepresentation of a drug designed intentionally to take the life of a preborn child can be found on Planned Parenthood’s website, in printed materials, and in television advertisements. In fact, the organization claims that chemical abortion is “extremely safe” in all its descriptions.
• However, the data suggests otherwise.
  • A recent analysis from the Ethics and Public Policy Center of hundreds of thousands of insurance claims shows one in 10 women suffer severe complications within 45 days of taking mifepristone. We’re talking about things like hemorrhaging, infections or even sepsis, which can turn deadly fast. That’s 22 times higher than what the prescription label claims. Doesn’t sound like Tylenol to me.
  • Chemical abortion involves two drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol. The first pill starves the developing baby; the second forces the mother’s body to deliver her dead child through hours of violent cramping and bleeding, often far worse than the “mild period” symptoms Planned Parenthood describes. Post-abortive testimonials say they were lied to, left alone on bathroom floors, terrified and hemorrhaging, some permanently scarred or sterilized.
• Planned Parenthood’s lies are a deliberate cover-up for the violence they knowingly inflict. By denying the scientific fact that life begins at conception, they not only hurt women with these drugs but also take the innocent life in the womb. And abortion pill access is easier than ever, even in our pro-life state.
• Due to the Biden administration’s elimination of nearly all safeguards, abortion drugs are now sent through the mail with no requirement for an in-person exam, ultrasound or follow-up care. Furthermore, there are no regulations governing where or to whom these pills are distributed. Women, many of them minors, are left alone to bleed out in their bathrooms, risking their health and future fertility, all while Planned Parenthood cashes in on another customer.
• The Florida lawsuit is a crucial step in the process, but we can’t stop here. This filing should be a wake-up call to the FDA, acting as a catalyst for the new HHS leadership to finally review the abortion pill’s risks as promised. Planned Parenthood must be held fully accountable for deceiving women and killing their preborn children. The FDA should immediately remove its approval of all abortion drugs and conduct a thorough, unbiased review for the safety of every mother and the protection of every child.
• This bold action by Uthmeier builds on the courageous leadership of Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has made Florida a national beacon for protecting preborn life over the past several years. From signing the 15-week protection in 2022 to boldly enacting the Heartbeat Protection Act in 2023, banning abortion after six weeks when a baby’s heartbeat can already be detected, DeSantis has stood unapologetically for the most vulnerable among us. He fought tirelessly against the radical Amendment 4 last year, which would have stripped away nearly all protections for preborn children and allowed abortion on demand up to birth in many cases.
• Thanks to DeSantis’ leadership and the efforts of pro-life Floridians, Amendment 4 was defeated, falling short of the required 60% even as the abortion industry poured millions into deceiving voters.
• Yet the abortion lobby is still attempting a run-around of our laws by flooding Florida with mail-order pills and out-of-state telehealth prescriptions. Chemical abortion already accounts for more than 60% of all abortions nationwide. If we allow these dangerous drugs to flow unchecked into our state, we will undo everything Florida families have fought for.
• That’s why this lawsuit matters. That’s why Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s promise to reexamine the abortion pill’s risks matters. And that’s why we must keep pushing until these drugs are removed from the market entirely.
• In his X post about the lawsuit, Uthmeier said, “We stand by our women.” But Planned Parenthood does not.
• Here in the “Free State of Florida,” under leaders like DeSantis and Uthmeier, we will keep leading the nation by exposing the lies of the abortion industry, defending women and their innocent children, and fostering a culture of life because every human life from conception is sacred and deserves protection.

• James R. Harden, CEO of CompassCare Pregnancy Services spoke of the push by Washington to free-up these abortion drugs back in April of 2024.
• Tucker Carlson called the pro-abortionists in the Dem-Com party a “baby killing cult.”
• What has changed in the country since Dobbs (four-years ago?
• HHS Secretary, RFK Jr. is NOT pro-life. We know he has been upsetting the applecart with big pharma when it comes to childhood vaccination.  Has he done anything about chemical abortions?
• Tell us about “Live Action” and how is it the most effective pro-life movement in America?

Panelist:

Kimberly Bird is a communications specialist at Live Action (the most effective pro-life movement in America). Kim lives in Florida with her husband and four children.

We are seeing this play out with VZ and now the Regime in Iran is feeling the heat.  Do you think the average independent voter will continue to support: PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH?  We know Republican voters will support it – but will independents continue to support it if the geo-political situation continues to unravel?

Segment Topic:

• “Our country is being destroyed because good people are tired.” (Steven Kuhn posted video)
• You recently posted on X:
• They don’t want you seeing the pattern. Venezuela boxed in. Mexico squeezed. Colombia trapped. Iran cornered. Globalist institutions collapsing. While the media screams about everything is being rewritten in real time. If this makes you uncomfortable... Good.
• Steven, I wanted you on this program today to discuss irrelevant Europe. Europe has been providing aid, comfort and sanctuary to the Regime in Iran – even before the 1979 Revolution and now they want to be part of the new Iran.  What are you hearing in Europe?  Are the Iranians who are renaming streets in Trump’s name going to accept Europe having any involvement in rebuilding their country – when Europe helped to destroy it?
