Podcasts about border security

The cartel war isn't just across the border anymore — it's here. In this episode, the hosts dive into explosive revelations about FBI collusion with the Sinaloa cartel, how Democrats allegedly fueled trafficking networks, and why recent threats against Americans mark a dangerous turning point. From cartel banners in Baja California to Trump's military maneuvers in the Gulf, the conversation exposes the high stakes of dismantling cartel networks and the political battles raging around them. Listeners will also hear why critics say Democratic leaders are shielding cartel-linked illegals, how state officials like JB Pritzker are spinning federal enforcement as “attacks on democracy,” and what Trump's show of military force may signal for Venezuela and beyond. This is raw, urgent, and deeply unsettling — a glimpse into what some are calling America's third war.

In this explosive episode, we connect the dots between domestic chaos, cartel operations, and international hostage deals. From alleged FBI partnerships with the Sinaloa cartel to threats against Americans and border agents, we analyze how policy, politics, and enforcement intersect with real-world violence. We also examine the controversial Middle East hostage swap, exploring why the release of over 1,700 Hamas operatives could have dire consequences despite the recovery of hostages. With insights into U.S. military positioning, election politics, and federal law enforcement history, this episode breaks down the stakes for America and the world. Expect a deep dive into: cartel influence in the U.S., border security, political narratives, election fears, and the implications of international peace deals gone wrong.

So Jack Smith — the Spy Who Bugged Me. The man who's supposed to be defending democracy — just got caught spying on Republican senators. You can't make this stuff up. The guy's like if Inspector Gadget and Joe Biden had a baby — a confused, over-caffeinated tattletale with a hard drive full of felonies. No wonder he retired. Yeah, “retired” — in D.C. code that means lawyered up and shredding files. He says it's a “personal decision.” Sure, like O.J. decided to “look for the real killer.”And the Left still calls this man a hero. Folks, if democracy were a car, Jack Smith and Merrick Garland would be the ones slashing the tires, then calling AAA and blaming Trump for the flat.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's the “Shutdown Showdown,” starring President Trump in the role only he could make iconic: The guy who can freeze more taxpayer money than Elsa in ‘Frozen.' Democrats threaten to “shut down” the government, and Trump's response? “That's cute, watch this.” When Trump froze $2.1 billion for Chicago because of DEI non-compliance, even Brandon Johnson had to find a white man to read him the fine print. Meanwhile, California burns $6.5 billion a year on healthcare for illegals, but the moment Trump tightens the purse strings, they act like he's stolen all the Girl Scout cookies in Sacramento.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The media has turned into a drunk uncle playing Twister—left hand on “Orange Man Bad,” right foot on “conspiracy theory,” head stuck firmly in their own rear. They even tried floating that Tom Homan, Trump's immigration bulldog, took a bribe. This isn't reporting; it's Mad Libs for activists.Journalists now think facts need “content warnings.” We've gone from All the President's Men to All the Gender Studies Interns. Objectivity is dead. And here's the kicker: despite this media industrial complex, Democrats are still losing. That's why Trump's winning streak feels like a lottery where they tax 98%.

The only news you can trust comes from conservative sources.The rest of it is propaganda…MADE UP!!I thought Justice Thomas was joking when he told me this. And even when I realized that much of the news was fake, I still reserved some judgement. I'm watching this show about foreign governments using social media to generate news in America (and elsewhere). They establish groups, get people to join. Then set up counter groups, and get the two groups fighting each other.What appears to be legit has been staged, sort of.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You still considering all that is brewing for Democrats?Comey indicted. More coming. Shutdown is crushing the poor, and they are blaming Democrats. Illegals being deported. Have you seen the videos from Portland?The people getting elected when they can't cheat are all conservatives, cut from Trump's cloth.The new Japanese PM is (1) a woman, and (2) a staunch conservative.

If comedy is timing, then Trump is the Richard Pryor of politics. The man just dropped a trolling masterclass—slapping sombreros and mustaches on Democrats in videos that turned Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries into cartoon banditos. All that was missing was a donkey and maracas.JD Vance pokes fun at Hakeem Jeffries' meltdown over his sombrero and mustachePredictably, Democrats howled. Schumer's sombrero was suddenly a threat to democracy. Hakeem Jeffries puffed up, called it “racist,” then acted like a man who spotted his wife dancing at a strip club.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Democrats need a lifeline on immigration. Trump made those suckers own illegals. I so enjoy watching Democrats try to backtrack from the issue of illegal immigration, because the desperation moves are like watching a double-feature Jason Stratham movie. It's action packed and completely unbelievable.Sen Jeanne Shaheen was stunned to learn that ALL Democrat leaders raised their hand on funding illegals.Putin must be laughing his butt off.

Day six of the government shutdown, and the White House warns of possible layoffs while Democrats refuse a clean CR. Todd digs into what this standoff is really about—spending priorities, Medicaid fraud and subsidies, border security, and a grab-bag of eyebrow-raising “restorations” cited by Sen. John Kennedy. He also opens the phones to listeners ahead of two big interviews: Michigan congressional candidate Shelby Campbell tomorrow and Eric Trump on Wednesday. Plus: why growing the show's reach matters in the wake of escalating political violence and a renewed commitment to getting truth in front of new audiences.If you've got questions for Shelby or Eric, send them to todd@toddhuffshow.com or text 317-210-2830.Subscribe to The Daily Truth at toddhuffshow.com/truth.(Sponsor) Red White & Brand – https://redwhiteandbrand.com(Sponsor) Full Suite Wealth – https://fullsuitewealth.com(Sponsor) 48 Financial – https://48financial.com/todd(Sponsor) Soltea – https://soltea.com

Democrats are in deep trouble. And what I like best, is they have NO idea just how bad it's going to get.Before I delve more deeply into their issues, let's begin with Jimmy Kimmel. Keep in mind, he represent a sample of Leftists' major problems...Jimmy Kimmel's return episode on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, drew a massive 6.3 million viewers on traditional TV—more than three times the show's typical average of around 1.6 million—making it the highest-rated regularly scheduled episode in the show's history.

Say goodbye to General Glitterbeard, the first non-binary Inuit tap-dancer to command a carrier group, or Admiral Aquamarine, our pioneering transatlantic pole-vaulter from the Choctaw Nation of drag queens. These aren't leaders; they're LinkedIn virtue-signals with epaulets. Under Biden's Big Top, the military became a freak show where the ringmaster hands out stars for participation trophies—remember that circus where they paraded out every identity flavor like it was Ben & Jerry's gone rogue? Hegseth's fix? Promote warriors, not woke bingo cards. Lethal laugh: If promotions were this easy in combat, we'd have a five-star general who once survived a pillow fight.

Special Agent Rick Perry and I discuss all the ills of the Democratic Party, and that is one long list. It begins with Jimmy Kimmel and goes through James Comey.

I have to confess: On September 30, 2025, I was legit sweating bullets for Black folks. Not because of some existential threat like systemic racism or killer cops—no, this was the big one. The government shutdown.According to the Democratic echo chamber, that's when we hit peak vulnerability; like gazelles sensing a lion pride on the savanna.We're talking furloughs, frozen paychecks, and food stamps flickering out like a bad rom-com ending. And don't get me started on how they'd convinced the Black Left that a cackling madman was piloting the White House, twirling his mustache while plotting our demise.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I must admit that I was concerned about Black people on September 30 of this year. Because when shutdowns loom, that's when Blacks are at our most vulnerable, according to Democrats.And they have convinced Black Leftists that a mad man is running the White House. Surprisingly, none of my friends, fans, or family contacted me as the shutdown loomed. Surely, given the severity of the moment, I would hear from somebody…anybody. But not a peep.No calls, texts, instant messages, or emails to check on my safety. No welfare checkup at what Democrats said was a critical juncture for the nation.

Hegseth called in all the brass from all over the world. People wondered what was happening, and I said that we aren't close to war, so my bet is he will level-set on the new military.A meeting like this was long overdue. People asked why bring all these guys in, and thought we were prepping for war. I disagreed and will discuss this more in a bit.First, I need to break this to you.

Think about all we face as a nation.Threat to the dollar. Threat to our way of life with Muslim radicals in our mix. Illegals wreaking havoc, rising deficits, mounting debt, Bidenflation, and much more.And while President Trump has done much to curb these problems, he still faces headwinds.

On this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes back Jordan Fischetti, Immigration Policy Fellow at Americans for Prosperity, for a deep dive into the border security provisions of the Working Family Tax Cut Act—or what some are calling the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Jordan explains the bill's $46.55 billion investment in border infrastructure, including walls, roads, and cutting-edge technology. But it's not just about building more wall—it's about building smarter. They explore why local knowledge from Border Patrol agents on the ground is key to effective border solutions, how legal immigration pathways can help reduce illegal crossings, and why morale among border agents has been so low—and how to fix it. From drones and AI to the moral crisis of unaccompanied minors, this conversation goes far beyond headlines to tackle both the challenges and solutions in securing America's borders.

Government shutdown headlines are back—but how much does it really matter to everyday Americans? Todd breaks down the facts and the spin around a “clean continuing resolution,” why House Republicans say they extended funding and why Senate Democrats blocked it, and what actually continues during a shutdown. We dig into furloughs vs. proposed RIFs, the battle over spending, debt, inflation, border security, and how this standoff fits into the bigger political fight of our time. No hysteria—just a clear look at what's true, what's posturing, and what it means for your life and your liberty.

Folks, I was doing the math this morning… and I've come to a startling conclusion. I would hate to be a Democrat. No, really. I mean, I would genuinely rather have a spontaneous root canal performed by a mechanic with a cordless drill than be a registered Democrat in the year of our Lord 2025. This is, without hyperbole, the absolute worst time in history to be a member of that party. And I'm including the whole “Civil War, split the nation in two” era. At least back then Democrats had convictions. They hated Black people, but now they hate all people.

President Trump backed Democrats into a corner, and now he's throwing Soros-funded bricks at them. For the first time in decades, the Uniparty finds itself in a precarious position on the budget.

The person most upset by Comey's indictment? Jimmy Kimmel. Just when Leftists started pretending to give a crap about his sad “comedy” act, he gets tossed out of the news cycle like a pub midget.James Comey got indicted last week. And Leftists got their new shiny object. Now it's time to rally behind one of the most corrupt people in American politics.The man who happened upon the beach where he noticed “8647” is now about to get destroyed himself. Comey ruined many lives, without a care in the world. And he and those who depended on him to help in the coup back in 2020 thought they got away with it.

For years, Corporate America was at the party, chugging the DEI kool-aid like it was an bottomless fountain of virtue-signaling goodness. They hired Chief Equity Officers, mandated ideological training, and built entire bureaucracies dedicated to everything except, you know, actually making a good product and turning a profit.Then, a moment of clarity arrived.

Democrats' budget “counteroffer” is a Frankenstein patchwork of giveaways—extending health care subsidies, repealing GOP Medicaid reforms, and a wish list that reads more like a Bernie Sanders dream journal than serious fiscal policy. It's the equivalent of showing up at a poker table with Monopoly money and demanding a seat.For years, Democrats demanded “clean” short-term funding bills from Republicans.

The Democrats love to preach about “equity,” but scroll the headlines and it looks more like “exemptions.” A 300-pound JV football player levels a kid half his size. If the roles were reversed—white on black—the Left would already be calling for congressional hearings.

When are you past your prime? Don't ask a politician that question about themselves. The oldest member of the House, 88-year-old Democrat Eleanor Holmes Norton, brushed aside growing concerns about her age, saying that she will “of course” be running for re-election.“I say that my seniority is what is very important, and I am not going to step aside,” Norton, a non-voting delegate representing the District of Columbia, told Axios.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Folks, President Trump went to the United Nations yesterday and—let's just say it—he took the UN to the hoop. I mean, it wasn't even close. The UN thought it was going to play a pickup game, and Trump showed up in full Jordan mode, tongue out, dunking on their heads. Holy Mother of Spank, he told that collection of bureaucratic bobbleheads exactly what they are: a bunch of freeloaders living off American tax dollars, pretending they're changing the world when they can't even change a lightbulb in their own leaky building.And here's the beauty of it—Trump stopped just short of saying, “You're fired.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Trump hit the big question: “What is the purpose of the United Nations?” And that's the knockout punch, because deep down, we all know the answer.Look at the record. The Oil-for-Food scandal—UN officials siphoning billions while Saddam Hussein laughed. Peacekeepers accused of sexual exploitation across Africa. Corruption in procurement contracts. Entire bureaucracies created not to solve crises, but to prolong them.

To have true conviction is rare. And people now see his conviction, particularly as he dealt with the world's richest man, Elon Musk.There are biblical books on these men and women, and we document them. Donald Trump started fixing problems from Day One.

It funny to watch Leftists pretending lose it over Kimmel being put on leave. Is it permanent, I don't know. I know it should be. And while they try to throw the blame to President Trump, the fact is none of these people protesting Kimmel even watched his show. Kimmel was being paid millions ($16 million a year) for show watched by less than 200,000 people a night in the 18-49 demographic.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death on 9-10, the day before a day that no American experiencing the Islamic attack on our country will forget. I talked last week about Candace Owens blaming the Jews for everything heinous in the world, but I've never met a Jew who said we must submit to Judaism or die.The big picture today? Two decades and change after those towers fell, are we any wiser, or just better at ignoring the smoke signals from radicals who've turned our backyard into their playground?

But soon we will return to the business at hand, we remember all the things that led up to Charlie's assassination, and how Leftism is the root cause.What many have noted is that a leader in the conservative movement was assassinated, and there are ZERO riots. That fact alone separates us from the animals who call themselves Democrats, Progressives, and Liberals.

If we can't be true to ourselves then we are no better than Democrats. Every day many Democrats wake up from woke. Something slaps them into reality, and that's a good thing.They realize that there is no “my truth”, only THE truth…There are no absolutes. Among conservatives, we are a complex unit. United at our cores, but we have fringe thinkers. Worse, we have people who are all about themselves. Self-serving, win at all cost, etc. To be honest, I don't like to think of them as “conservatives”, because I have a high standard for us.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Folks, let's start with a truth bomb wrapped in bacon grease: Democrats act like they can't figure out where all the hate is coming from. That's like Colonel Sanders wondering why the chickens never RSVP to his dinner parties. You want to know where the hate's coming from? Check the mirror, Karen.According to ABC News, 87% of Democrats believe Trump is a fascist. Not “might be,” not “leans fascist,” but straight-up Mussolini 2.0.

Can America's immigration system handle the 2026 FIFA World Cup? With 3 million daily travelers expected and visa wait times stretching hundreds of days in key countries, we're facing unprecedented challenges. Ryan Propis from the US Travel Association joins us to discuss what needs to happen now - from expanding visa waiver programs to deploying AI-powered screening technology. This isn't just about soccer; it's about America's ability to welcome the world while maintaining security. This is our first episode in an ongoing series, looking forward to the FIFA World Cup 2026.GUEST: Ryan Propis, VP of Security and Facilitation, US Travel HOST: Lauren ClarkeNEWS NERD: Rob TaylorPRODUCER: Adam BelmarResource Links:Commission on Seamless and Secure Travel ReportFIFA World Cup 26: Host countries, cities, dates, teams, tickets, qualifying and more

Debate on the Source of Rights The episode opens with criticism of Democratic Senator Tim Kaine, who argued in a Senate hearing that constitutional rights come from the government rather than from God. Cruz frames this as a radical departure from America’s founding principles, citing the Declaration of Independence and Thomas Jefferson’s writings. The discussion emphasizes that if rights come from government, they can be taken away, whereas God-given rights are “unalienable.” Religion and the Democratic Party Cruz and Ferguson argue that the Democratic Party is increasingly hostile toward people of faith (Christian, Jewish, Catholic). They highlight responses from religious leaders, including Bishop Robert Barron, who strongly opposed Kaine’s remarks and defended the idea that rights come from God. Border Security and the Cartels The podcast shifts to the issue of border security and drug cartels, especially the Sinaloa cartel. They cite a DEA operation in New England that arrested 171 cartel members in one week, seizing fentanyl and counterfeit pills. Cruz and Ferguson warn about the danger of fentanyl-laced pills, especially for young people, describing it as a national epidemic and the leading cause of death among Americans aged 18–45.
