Why is the U.S. government deporting individuals over something as trivial as wearing a Chicago Bulls hat? Franklin lifts the veil on the disturbing trend of young men being forcibly removed from the country under shaky pretenses. Together, he and Walsh break down how Trump’s policies continue to tear at the seams of our society, leaving us with a fractured nation and a fight for justice.
Behind the scenes, whispers allege secret financial dealings to suppress due process and keep accused individuals hidden away. Senator Chris Van Hollen’s attempted visit to an El Salvadorian prison, only to be initially turned away, signals a clandestine collaboration that's still unraveling. We also dig through Trump’s fear mongering tactics, which are designed to create hysteria surrounding the topic of immigration.
The show covers the persistent epidemic of mass shootings in a country suffocated by the Second Amendment. The alarming normalization of firearms in public spaces sends shivers across state lines, and leaves public safety hanging in the balance.
We’ll take a hard look at Trump’s rampant disregard for judicial oversight, and repeated skirting of court rulings on deportations. The administration’s pattern of undermining legal boundaries has ignited a potential constitutional crisis in Washington, threatening the very pillars of our democracy.
In this era of political mayhem, Franklin urges our listeners to mobilize and stay engaged in whatever way they can to counter this fall into authoritarianism—even amidst Trump’s attempts to silence dissent.
