Tara dives deep into Donald Trump's bold suspension of all student visas and the uproar it's causing—especially from the left. But what's really behind the move? She and her co-host unpack a disturbing trend of radical foreign students using U.S. campuses not for education, but as breeding grounds for anti-American, anti-Semitic extremism—with ties to Hamas and Iran. From unearthed audio of campus organizers openly calling for the dismantling of the United States to John Kirby's casual admission that Iran is funding violent protests in our streets, Tara connects the dots that mainstream media won't. Plus, she exposes how elite universities like Harvard are refusing to cooperate with terror screenings and relying heavily on full-tuition-paying foreign students—at the expense of qualified Americans. Representative Nancy Mace joins the chorus, warning of a leftist “culture of violence” and calling for expulsions from Congress for those inciting it. You won't want to miss this takedown of dangerous ideologies, academic hypocrisy, and the fight to save America's national security—on campus and beyond.
