Episode 554 - Cruising the Cul-de-sac

In this episode of The Green Line Radio Show, Art Del Cueto and Andy Taylor kick off the conversation with some lighthearted banter about personal grooming, Art’s potential beard growth, and their views on aging. They also reminisce about Jesse Ventura’s career, including his political strategies and book on media influence. Art shares how, despite retiring from the agency, his workload has increased, but he remains accessible to those who reach out.

Art turns the discussion to the challenges faced by Border Patrol agents, while the morale has improved there are other issues emphasizing the mental and physical toll of the job. Art reflects on speaking up for agents, the investigations he’s faced, and why many are leaving the force—whether due to retirement, better opportunities, or burnout. He stresses the importance of agents understanding their true government compensation rather than focusing solely on salary.

The conversation shifts to global security concerns, including attacks in Syria and the media’s portrayal of extremists. Art raises concerns about radical sympathizers in schools, the leaking of ICE enforcement information, and the weakening of immigration controls. He also questions the vetting process for international students, sharing an anecdote about a friend on a student visa who was denied re-entry to the U.S. after failing to maintain his academic status.

Art wraps up by tackling illegal immigration and deportation policies, clarifying misconceptions about who gets deported and how family situations are handled. He critiques clickbait media, the growing radicalism in politics, and politicians who ignore positive stories, such as a young cancer survivor being honored by the Secret Service. He also takes a humorous jab at Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro’s purple hair, likening her to a Willy Wonka character, while strongly disagreeing with her politics.
