• Tom Homan’s Frustration (Clip from Marlow Interview):

  "Every morning I woke up pissed off because I knew based on my years of experience and my investigation, okay, how many people died last night? How many women or young girls got sexually assaulted last night? How many have been forced into labor to pay off their smuggling fees? How many pounds of fentanyl came across last night to kill Americans? How many people from a terrorist sponsored country got across last night?" (E, 14:44)

• Guest – Alex Marlow (Breitbart):
  • Praises Homan's empathy and sees him as a humanitarian, not just a law-and-order figure.

    “If you don't have haters, it means you're not getting your job done.” (A, 20:00)

• Policy Solutions:
  • Homan calls for a permanent legislative fix “so every administration” must enforce border security (E, 21:35).

    “Congress needs to make some changes. If they would change three things, you solve 85% of the border problem for every administration.” (E, 21:35)

• Mocking Leftist Protests:

  • On flipping IL red: “People are fed up. ...We empower people to vote...yes, we have a true chance.” (C, 32:06)
• Media Bias – Benny Harmony’s Story:
  • New RAV correspondent discusses being suspended from Springfield’s ABC affiliate after a tribute to mentor Charlie Kirk; “wasn’t political, was heartfelt.”

    “All I did was tell people, speak your mind, speak your truth, and be convicted, and don't be afraid to stand up for what you believe in.” (G, 36:04)

  • Describes liberal bias in the newsroom, lack of support from colleagues, and management’s hostility toward Trump.

  • Stinchfield shares a personal anecdote of reverse discrimination at a Hartford news station.
