Today on Saving America, we're exposing a critical threat to our legal immigration system. The Department of Justice's new "interim final rule" for the Board of Immigration Appeals—the BIA—is a game-changer. Despite my tough stance on illegal immigration, I'm a fierce advocate for legal pathways, especially as our nation faces a critical labor shortage. But this new rule, effective March 2026, will summarily dismiss many legitimate appeals, reducing deadlines from 30 days to a mere 10, eliminating full briefings, and dramatically lowering success rates for immigrants already vetted for criminal behavior. Is this truly about efficiency, or is it a "hammer approach" denying legal immigrants their day in court? We'll also dive into the controversial crackdown on H-1B visas and propose a smarter solution than simply throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Don't miss this crucial report on the future of legal immigration in America!Thanks for joining me for this episode!

The Supreme Court just handed President Trump his biggest legal defeat since returning to the White House - and it might cost the government 200 billion dollars. In a 6-3 Mega Decision, the Court ruled that the President cannot use emergency powers to unilaterally tax the world. Chief Justice Roberts just drew a line in the sand on the “power of the purse,” but with $200 billion already collected, the real chaos is only just beginning. Is your wallet about to get a refund, or is a trade war still inevitable?Thanks for joining me for this episode!

The “Strategic Reset” has officially arrived, and it's hitting the pockets of the D.C. elite. From the staggering collapse of the Washington Post newsroom to Senator Joni Ernst's new DISPOSAL Act targeting $3 billion in federal real estate waste, the message is clear: the days of unchecked bloat are over. Today, we're breaking down why legacy media is imploding, how the DOGE mission is reclaiming your tax dollars from “ghost town” government buildings, and the surprising electoral shift in Texas that should be a massive wake-up call for the GOP.

Imagine a world where the internet's most famous parody site owns the internet's most notorious conspiracy empire. It almost happened. The Onion won the auction for Alex Jones' InfoWars, promising to turn “fear-mongering into high art.” But then a federal judge stepped in and froze the whole deal. Today, we're looking at the “irregularities” that stopped the sale, why Alex Jones is celebrating, and whether the satirical takeover is actually dead or just delayed.Thanks for joining me for this episode!

Sean Combs once sat on a $700 million music empire. Today, after a federal trial that gripped the nation, that net worth has plummeted to an estimated $90 million, and the man known as Diddy is facing up to 20 years in prison. While the jury cleared him of the most high-profile racketeering and sex trafficking charges, they didn't let him walk. Today on Business Law 101, we're looking at the two guilty counts that changed everything, the defense's unusual strategy of silence, and why—30 years later—this is definitely not the O.J. Simpson trial.Thanks for joining me for this episode!

The Supreme Court just ended the battle for TikTok, but did they actually fix the problem? After months of legal 'chicken,' a massive deal has finally closed that puts Oracle and a UAE fund in the driver's seat - yet ByteDance still walks away with nearly 20% ownership. Is this a win for American privacy, or did we just trade a total ban for a complicated compromise? Today, we're breaking down the SCOTUS ruling, the First Amendment fight, and why some experts are still saying “delete the app.”Thanks for joining me for this episode!

Is America finally turning the corner, or are we just seeing the calm before a different kind of storm? Today on Saving America, we're breaking down a historic week: the largest murder rate drop in U.S. history is proving that law and order works, while the Pentagon takes a 'sledgehammer' to DEI contracts. But as the national debt ticks past $39 trillion at a staggering $71,800 per second, we have to ask—is the 'beautiful bill' enough?

Is software code a 'person' or 'property'? The U.S. Treasury thought so when they sanctioned Tornado Cash, but a landmark appeals court ruling just flipped the script. In Van Loon v. Treasury, the court decided that autonomous code can't be 'owned' - and that means the government just lost its most powerful weapon against decentralized finance.

America, we're under attack on multiple fronts! In this urgent 'Saving America' update, we're exposing the shocking truth the mainstream media is hiding. First, we're diving deep into the escalating war on our ICE agents, where criminal illegals are getting more protection than the very officers defending our borders – I'm talking about kill shots needed here.

We'll also break down the Department of War's unprecedented move against Senator Mark Kelly for his 'seditious' comments, and how Trump is slashing drug prices while forcing big pharma to build factories HERE in America.

What if I told you that you could stop paying income tax tomorrow, give your employees a massive raise, and it was all perfectly legal under the IRS code? That was the pitch for the 'Classic 105' program. It promised a revolution in medical benefits, but behind the luxury cars and high-rise offices, there were no loans, no insurance, and no real money—just a $25 million paper trail that led straight to federal prison. This is the story of the Total Financial Group, the executive who tried to hide the truth, and the $21 million judgment that brought it all crashing down.Thanks for joining me for this episode!

Send us a textWork Slop: Why AI Shortcuts Are Costing Teams More Than They SaveEver get an email, doc, or deck from someone and instantly think, “This is… not it”? In this episode, we're digging into the rise of work slop—the vague, messy, low-quality output that shows up when AI is used as a replacement for thinking instead of a tool for support.Kendra sits down with Sue Justice, founder of Emory HR, to talk about why this isn't just an AI problem—it's a performance, communication, and leadership problem that businesses can't afford to ignore. We explore:What “Work Slop” Is (and Why It's Growing)How AI-generated work becomes unclear, incorrect, or incompleteWhy “slapping something together” shifts work to the next personThe difference between using AI as an assistant vs. letting it do the job This Isn't a Tool Issue—It's a Behavior IssueHow people have always “phoned it in,” but AI makes it faster and more visibleWhy audiences and teammates can sense when work lacks human touchThe real question leaders must ask: workload problem or character problem?What Leaders Should Do About ItWhen to coach and when to treat it as a performance issueWhy a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) matters before cutting tiesHow industry risk, trust, and legal exposure shape your response Where AI Helps—and Where It Shouldn't LeadUsing AI for brainstorming or templates vs. high-stakes decisionsWhy contracts and policies need human tone, context, and accountabilityThe risk of letting AI output become “authority” without review Sue's Biggest Marketing LessonWhy business owners shouldn't try to do everything themselvesHow doing the wrong work wastes more time than it savesThe sustainability link between delegation and quality Whether you're leading a team, outsourcing work, or using AI in your own business, this episode is a clear reminder: AI can save time, but only if humans own the standard. If the quality drops, the cost doesn't disappear—it just lands on someone else. “AI is meant to be an assistant… not the end-all ‘I'll do it for you' solution.” – Sue Justice 00:00:00 Introduction to Sue Justice and why HR belongs in this conversation 00:02:06 What “work slop” is and how it shows up at work 00:03:39 Why AI misuse is really a people/performance issue 00:06:53 Skill gap vs. character flaw: how to tell the difference 00:09:57 When work slop becomes a firing-level problem 00:13:05 Transparency, AI policies, and setting clear standards 00:19:01 AI adoption is everywhere—whether companies admit it or not 00:23:04 Sue's biggest marketing lesson as a business ownerConnect with Sue Justice:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susanajustice/Website: https://emeryhr.com/ Looking to leverage AI?

A strong HR foundation in small business isn't just about compliance - it's about retention. When employees feel valued throughout their journey, your business and culture grow. Too often, small businesses hand HR to office managers, leaving critical practices to chance. Real expertise ensures a positive, compliant, and trust-filled workplace. Handled well, tricky situations are de-escalated, protecting both team culture and your reputation. I recently spoke with Sarah Chang, CEO of Clearwater HR Consulting, a firm helping small businesses across the US navigate the complexities of HR. Here are some of the topics from our conversation: ✅ Clearwater HR's services, team, and focus on small businesses. ✅ Common HR challenges, from infrastructure to employee relations. ✅ Mistakes owners make handling HR in-house and value of guidance. ✅ The evolving HR landscape: social media, awareness, and legal issues. ✅ Building a successful HR consulting business and aligning HR with goals. ✅ Advice for improving workplace culture, retention, and growth. ✅ And much more. Most small business owners want to build great teams and cultures - they just need the right support. By partnering with proven HR experts like Sarah Chang and Clearwater HR Consulting, they can minimize risk while unlocking the real benefits of a healthy workplace.
