Segment Topic: 

• As everyone knows by now, Laken Riley was a 22-year-old nursing student who was brutally murdered in 2024 by a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela who was allowed to enter the country during the Biden administration, committed for crimes after arriving here and was turned loose by the sanctuary jurisdictions that arrested him.
• Sheridan Gorman was an 18-year-old college freshman studying at Loyola University in Chicago. Last Thursday, she went out with friends to view the Northern Lights from shores of Lake Michigan and was gunned down in cold blood by another illegal alien criminal. The man charged with her murder is Jose Medina, another illegal alien from Venezuela who was allowed to enter the country during the Biden administration, and was subsequently arrested by the Chicago Police for theft in 2023. Instead of turning him over to ICE for removal, per Chicago sanctuary policy, he was released back into the community. Medina never showed up for his court case and has been roaming the streets of the city ever since.
• Sadly, Sheridan joins a long list Americans who have paid the ultimate price when state and local politicians make protection of illegal aliens – including criminal illegal aliens – over the safety of the public. These policies are a fact that her grieving family alluded to in a statement. FAIR
• Ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevichshared a stunning theory about the illegal migrant accused of executing a Chicago area college student in cold blood — that it was part of some “gang initiation.”
• Hewrote on X that he believes Jose Medina-Medina murdered Sheridan Gorman in an effort to make an impression with a local gang.
• “Sheridan Gorman’s killer is being held in isolation. I suspect Pritzker & the Dems are hiding him to COVER-UP the fact that this illegal immigrant killed an innocent young girl as part of a GANG INITIATION,” he wrote.
• Loyola’s student newspaper issues apology over Sheridan Gorman story — for correctly calling alleged killer an ‘illegal immigrant.’ (NY Post)
• Pritzker blames Trump!

Panelist:

Ira Mehlman, Media Director: Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)

Segment Topic: 

• There were two civil cases which went against Meta (social media) this week. One in New Mexico and the other in California.  How do these cases and decisions differ?
  • If these cases indicate that the American public is fed-up with social media, can we expect more of these damage cases and how many years of appeals for Meta lie ahead?

https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/google-meta-liable/2026/03/25/id/1250745/

• The U.S. Government had a bad week when it had to pony up for damages to The Gateway Pundit and General Michael Flynn. How was the government punished when no one (from the government was punished for their crimes) and the taxpayer ends of paying the bill for these and future (similar) settlements?

• How is the SCOTUS likely to rule on redistricting and birthright citizenship?

 

War and Morality: (Judge Andrew P. Napolitano)

• • War is the most horrific series of events upon which any government can engage. It is systematic, industrialized, indiscriminate killing. It kills innocent adults and little girls. It often ruins the post-war lives of the killers. It is young men violently fighting old men’s power games. It is the health of the state.
  • The war President Donald Trump is waging against the people and the government of Iran is immoral, unconstitutional and unlawful. Yet, because Congress is not doing its job, there appears to be no relief in sight until Trump finds a face-saving way to erase his grave mistake from the public’s long memory.
  • An act of a person or a government is moral when it conforms to a universal set of principles designed to induce good over evil and justice over injustice. These

principles are discoverable by all unimpaired adults exercising reason. Adults should comply with them. Children often know them. 

Panelist:

Judge Andrew Napolitano, Senior Judicial Analyst, Newsmax, Host: Judging Freedom Podcast Judge Napolitano’s latest opinion piece: “War and Morality.”

Segment Topic: 

• DHS de-funding drags on!
  • Dem-Coms pull back from an agreement with Senate Republicans.
  • If Schumer is fearful of an AOC challenge to his senate seat, me has probably sealed his fate by forcing Americans to wait on long TSA lines at U.S. airports.
    • 1n 1996, Schumer was in favor of government ID; and now, not so much!
  • Senator Chris Murphy admitted what we already knew. The Dem-Coms care only to protect illegals and care nothing about the American citizens they threaten by their presence in our country.
  • Did Pritzker actually blame President Trump for the murder of a Loyola college student by an illegal?

Panelist:

Kirsten Pels, RNC National Press Secretary
