Joe Biden is accused of allowing African jihadists into the country to harm Americans. The speaker believes these individuals are not migrants but invaders who pose a threat. They emphasize the importance of law and order and self-defense.

An individual, a citizen of El Salvador, was illegally in the U.S. and was returned to his country, which is standard deportation procedure. The foreign policy of the U.S. is conducted by the president, not by a court. The Supreme Court stated that no court has the authority to compel a foreign policy function in the U.S. The speaker claims that President Trump's policy is to expel foreign terrorists who are here illegally. The speaker asks why it isn't stated that keeping criminals out of the country is a positive thing, and accuses the previous speaker of lacking credibility.

Speaker 1 defends the use of the Alien Enemies Act by stating that the U.S. is currently at war. They claim Biden allowed millions of people, many of whom are criminals, to enter the country, characterizing this as an invasion. Speaker 1 alleges that other nations emptied their jails into the United States, sending murderers, drug dealers, drug lords, and people from mental institutions. They reiterate that this situation constitutes an invasion and, therefore, a state of war.

Rogan O'Hanley suggests Trump should consider suspending the writ of habeas corpus for illegal aliens, citing Article One, Section Nine of the U.S. Constitution, due to what he considers an "invasion" of 15 million illegal aliens under Biden. He notes past presidents Lincoln, Grant, and FDR used this measure, though against American citizens. He asks if the Trump administration plans to use this to circumvent "radical judges" and deport illegals en masse. The speaker responds that the administration is open to all legal and constitutional remedies for deporting illegal criminals and agrees it's absurd that the previous administration allowed 15 million illegal aliens into the country with little judicial pushback. Another speaker adds that a judge was arrested for impeding ICE enforcement, stating that while officials can support sanctuary cities, they cross a line when they impede or knowingly harbor illegal aliens.

If you're a criminal, you'll be deported, and if you enter the U.S. illegally, your chances of getting caught just went up. According to Speaker 1, these actions are lawful and have been taken by both Republican and Democratic presidents for the past half century. Speaker 0 claims the media portrays Trump negatively for deporting illegal alien criminals, while Obama, Bill Clinton, and other Democrats were on board with this for years. Speaker 2 states their administration has moved aggressively to secure the borders by hiring a record number of new border guards, deporting twice as many criminal aliens, cracking down on illegal hiring, and barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. Speaker 3 says using phrases like "undocumented workers" conveys that the government is not serious about combating illegal immigration. Speaker 1 says we cannot allow people to pour into The United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Speaker 2 says they will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes and to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace. Speaker 0 claims Obama deported 5,300,000 people, and Bill Clinton deported 12,300,000, questioning why there is a sudden change of heart now.

The speaker states the president stands by his comments, as does the entire administration. They claim a democracy cannot exist if a single district court judge can assume the powers of the commander in chief. They contrast this with the Supreme Court, where it takes five justices to change federal policy. The speaker asserts that a single district court judge out of 700 cannot set policy for the entire nation, especially on national security and public safety issues. The president has tremendous respect for Justice Roberts and believes the Supreme Court should crack down and stop the assault on democracy from radical rogue judges. These judges are allegedly usurping the powers of the presidency and laying waste to the constitutional system.

The discussion centers on a tense moment over Iran, with President Trump issuing an ultimatum to Iran: come to the table for a new nuclear agreement or the United States will hit Iran again, with the next strike described as far worse than the last. An armada led by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is reportedly moving toward Iran, framed as a ready-to-go force for a potential rapid strike if necessary. The hosts question whether this is genuine leverage for negotiations or a countdown to war. Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter joins to analyze the buildup. Ritter argues that Trump has backed down twice before in decisive engagement with Iran, citing the downing of a Global Hawk and the aborted bombing in support of protesters. He suggests that what is unfolding is part of a broader campaign strategy, including economic pressure that led to protests in Iran, which he attributes to Mossad and CIA-controlled agitators during a “shaking the tree” phase. He contends that Israel has signaled the next strike against Iran must be the last, and believes the planned attack would be a full-spectrum assault involving air strikes, cyberattacks, and support for CIA/Mossad-backed groups inside Iran to dismantle the government quickly. Ritter claims Iran will respond with cyber warfare and possibly shut down critical infrastructure and temporarily seize control of the Strait of Hormuz; he predicts the result would be severe consequences for the region and the United States, including economic fallout. He asserts that Iran will not back down on its nuclear program, characterizing negotiations as unacceptable to Iran and linking Iran’s enrichment program to national pride and existential survival. He also argues that the United States is acting in support of Israel, with Trump’s actions influenced by Israeli money and policy, and labels Iran as not pursuing a nuclear weapons program at this time—though 60% enrichment shortens timelines and complicates intelligence efforts. Ritter emphasizes that Congress should declare war, not the president, and warns that the United States could lose an aircraft carrier and suffer broader devastation if conflict escalates. He also critiques the characterizations of Iran as imminently threatening, arguing that the preemption narrative is not supported by imminent threat criteria and suggesting diplomacy and restraint are warranted. The conversation then shifts to US preemption rhetoric and the role of Congress. A speaker argues that the baseline presence of 30,000–40,000 American troops in the region, within range of Iranian missiles and UAVs, requires a credible defensive posture. They criticize Marco Rubio for framing preemption as legitimate self-defense, noting that Article 51 of the UN Charter allows preemption only for imminent threat and that such immediacy is not demonstrated. The discussion suggests a need for congressional scrutiny and potential impeachment if war is pursued without proper authorization. On nuclear questions, Ritter shares his intelligence assessment: Iran is not currently pursuing a nuclear weapons program and has not reconstituted a full enrichment program, though 60% uranium enrichment represents a concern. He asserts that while Iran is capable of cyber warfare, a broader strike against Iran would likely trigger significant retaliation, including against Israel, which he describes as vulnerable to Iranian missiles. The dialogue moves to Cuba, with Rubio and Trump signaling aggressive moves toward regime change. Ritter sees Cuba as more resilient than Libya and notes the long-standing US effort to topple the Cuban government, complicated by Cuba’s limited leverage and its trade relations with China, Russia, and Venezuela. The panel discusses the Monroe Doctrine reinterpretation and the broader geopolitical contest with China and Russia, suggesting that Cuba will be a tougher target than the US expects. In closing, Ritter reiterates that an attack on Iran is unlikely and would be disastrous, cautioning that internal political calculations, including midterm consequences, will influence presidents’ decisions. The show thanks Ritter for his analysis.

The administration believes the president has constitutional authority to conduct national security operations, citing the Alien Enemies Act. They argue a district court judge cannot interfere with the president's power to repel a foreign terrorist in the country. The administration claims Trane de Aragua (TDA) was sent by the Venezuelan government, constituting a predatory incursion or invasion under the Alien Enemies Act. They assert the president alone determines what triggers the statute, not a district court judge. The administration states a district court judge cannot enjoin the expulsion of foreign terrorists, direct the movement of Air Force One, or influence foreign policy. They expect the Supreme Court to agree that the president's commander-in-chief powers are not subject to judicial review. The administration questions how to expel illegal alien invaders if each deportation requires adjudication by a district court judge. They believe the judiciary is interfering with executive function, violating the separation of powers. They maintain there is no conflict between the judge's order and the administration's actions. The administration argues the judge put lives at risk and defied the system of government.

The speaker claims the administration believes the court order is unlawful, and that a district court judge shouldn't interfere with foreign policy or military decisions. They argue that power has become too concentrated in the unelected bureaucracy and judiciary, shrinking the scope of democracy. They state that judges protect bureaucrats, preventing the president from implementing policy shifts. As an example, they claim that bureaucrats collude with the ACLU and the judiciary to prevent the deportation of aliens. The speaker asserts the president has the authority to remove terrorist gangs from the country under the Constitution, the Alien Enemies Act, the INA, and Article Two powers. They conclude that a district court judge cannot direct the expulsion of terrorists who are also in the country illegally.

The administration believes the president has the constitutional right to conduct national security operations, citing the Alien Enemies Act. They argue a district court judge cannot interfere with the president's authority to repel an alien invasion or a predatory incursion directed by a foreign government. The administration claims Trane de Aragua (TDA) was sent by the Venezuelan government, triggering the Alien Enemies Act, and that the president alone makes the determination of what triggers the statute. The administration states that under the Alien Enemies Act, an act of war, an invasion, or a predatory incursion can trigger the act. They argue a district court judge cannot enjoin the expulsion of foreign terrorists, direct troop movements, or restrain the president's authority under the Alien Enemies Act or foreign affairs. The administration believes the Supreme Court will agree that the president's commander-in-chief powers are not subject to judicial review. They question how to expel illegal alien invaders if each deportation requires adjudication by a district court judge. The administration states there is no conflict between the judge's order and the actions taken by the departments of defense, justice, and homeland security.

The speaker opens by citing James Madison, who wrote to Thomas Jefferson in 1789 that “the constitution supposes what the history of all governments demonstrates, that the executive branch of power is the most interested in war and most prone to it,” and notes that the constitution itself vests in the legislature the question of war (Article I, Section 8, Clause 11) while giving the president operational powers of war (Article II, Section 2, Clause 1). Even if one claimed the 1973 War Powers Resolution supersedes the constitutional language, the speaker argues the president has not met its conditions: the president may only introduce U.S. armed forces into hostilities under three circumstances—declaration of war, specific statutory authorization, or a national emergency created by an attack on the United States—none of which exist today because Iran has not attacked the United States, Congress has not declared war, and Congress has not granted specific statutory authorization. Beyond this constitutional framing, the speaker asks why the United States would go to war with Iran and emphasizes that servicemembers deserve a clear mission. He questions how such a war would help American families with groceries, housing, or safety in schools and neighborhoods. He cautions against past interventions in the Middle East, arguing they have produced a debt of at least $8 trillion from wars in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan, and contends a sustained war with Iran will not stabilize the region but will radicalize new generations of terrorists and generate more refugees to Europe and the United States. The speaker argues Iran is not Venezuela, and that Ayatollah Khomeini was not a president but a religious leader in a region notorious for radical Islamists; he asserts that the United States and Israel turned him into a martyr, contributing to broader conflict and casualties, including six American families who have lost loved ones. He claims the administration cannot provide a straight answer for why the preemptive war was launched, noting contradictory statements about imminent Iranian strikes and the rationale of stopping a nuclear program. A candid answer, he says, came from the Secretary of State, who said Israel forced the United States to act, implying that Congress must decide war. If American lives are to be risked, that decision must be debated and voted on by representatives, and the debate should be arduous with a hard vote. He offers a theory that colleagues do not want to go on record due to a poor track record of meddling in the Middle East and a desire to avoid their names being associated with an unfavorable outcome. The speaker asserts Congress is not here to declare war today; the vote on the War Powers Resolution is to reassert that Congress must decide questions of war. Some say war is authorized by paying for it through the budget, but the speaker asserts that defining the mission for the troops is not included in the budget and has not been done. He thanks the men and women engaged in combat, prays for their safety, and states that the resolution is written for them—to ensure they know when they achieve their mission and can come home.

The speaker states he cannot smuggle a terrorist into the United States, calling the question preposterous. He says they are not fond of releasing terrorists into the country, and that they turned the murder capital of the world into the safest country in the Western Hemisphere. Another speaker clarifies the individual in question is a citizen of El Salvador who was illegally in the United States and was returned to his country. He states that the foreign policy of the United States is conducted by the president, not by a court. Another speaker adds that the Supreme Court held that no court has the authority to compel the foreign policy function in the United States. He claims the policy is that foreign terrorists who are here illegally get expelled from the country.

The speakers are debating the former president's statements about an "enemy within." One speaker claims the former president suggested turning the American military on the American people. A clip is played of the former president responding to accusations of threatening people, stating he is not threatening anyone, but that "they" are the ones doing the threatening through "phony investigations" and "weaponization of government." The other speaker objects, asserting the clip does not reflect the former president's repeated statements about the American people being the "enemy within." This speaker claims the former president has talked about turning the American military on the American people, going after peaceful protestors, and locking up those who disagree with him, which they argue is unacceptable in a democracy.

The speaker contends that the European Union does not have the authority to determine international law or dictate how the United States defends its national security. They assert that the United States is actively responding to threats to its security, describing the country as being “under attack from organized criminals in our hemisphere” and stating that the president is taking measures to defend the nation in this operation. The speaker notes a contrast in international reactions: many countries advocate for the United States to supply and deploy nuclear-capable Tomahawk missiles to defend Europe, yet those same countries view the United States placing aircraft carriers in the hemisphere near the speaker’s location as problematic. This juxtaposition is highlighted to illustrate perceived inconsistencies in support or criticism from other nations. Overall, the speaker emphasizes that the president’s stated mission is to protect the United States from threats against the United States, and asserts that the current operation aligns with that objective by defending the country.

The administration believes the president has the constitutional right to conduct national security operations, citing the Alien Enemies Act. They argue a district court judge cannot interfere with the president's authority to repel an alien invasion or foreign terrorist, as this is a Title 50, commander-in-chief authority. The administration claims Tren de Aragua (TDA) is an alien enemy force sent by the Venezuelan government, triggering the Alien Enemies Act, which allows the president to act against invasions or predatory incursions directed by a foreign government. They state the president's decisions as commander in chief are not subject to judicial review. The administration asserts that district court judges cannot enjoin the expulsion of foreign terrorists or direct military actions. They believe the Supreme Court will agree that the president's actions as commander in chief are not subject to judicial review. They also claim that individual deportations cannot be adjudicated by district court judges without undermining national sovereignty. The administration maintains there is no conflict between the judge's order and their actions.

President Trump has considered suspending habeas corpus to address illegal immigration, citing the Constitution, which allows it during an invasion. The speaker claims Congress passed the Immigration Nationality Act, stripping Article Three courts of jurisdiction over immigration cases. As an example, the speaker cites Temporary Protected Status (TPS), claiming courts are barred from overruling presidential or secretarial determinations on TPS. When the Secretary of Homeland Security terminated TPS, and courts intervened, the speaker alleges they violated congressional language explicitly stripping them of jurisdiction. The speaker concludes that the courts are at odds with both the executive and legislative branches.

The speakers discuss who determines if the U.S. is at war or being invaded. One speaker asserts a law requires an "invasion or act of war" to be interpreted as actively being at war, not just because someone says so. They state that while the president influences policy, the court applies the law. Another speaker argues that the millions of people entering the country constitute an invasion, and that the president should be able to act. They believe individual judges are overstepping if they can overrule the commander in chief on the matter of invasion. Another speaker asks who decides if the U.S. is at war, stating it is Congress, not the president. One speaker says that if the U.S. is being invaded, they want the commander in chief to act. One speaker argues the American system has three co-equal branches of government, and that decisions should not be beholden to one person's opinion, lest the country become a monarchy.

If you're a criminal, you'll be deported, and if you enter the U.S. illegally, your chances of getting caught just went up. According to Speaker 1, these actions are lawful and have been taken by both Republican and Democratic presidents for the past half century. Speaker 0 claims the media portrays Trump negatively for deporting illegal alien criminals, while Obama, Bill Clinton, and other Democrats were previously on board with this. Speaker 2 states their administration has moved aggressively to secure the borders by hiring more border guards, deporting twice as many criminal aliens, cracking down on illegal hiring, and barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens.

Speaker 2 says they will try to speed the deportation of illegal aliens arrested for crimes and better identify illegal aliens in the workplace. Speaker 0 claims Obama deported 5,300,000 people, and Bill Clinton deported 12,300,000, questioning why there is a sudden change of heart now.

I believe in the Constitution, and what we're seeing is the beauty of our system as the three branches of government wrestle with this issue. The courts are involved, Congress has a role, and this is how we test the Constitution. Some call it a constitutional crisis, but I see it as the system working. Congress has the ability and responsibility to solve the budget and border issues, but we haven't. When Congress doesn't act, the White House tends to step in. Let's allow the constitutional process to play out. Congress needs to step up and address the problems we've, in many cases, given the American people.

The speaker claims Trump is deporting dangerous individuals, including a child rapist and a fentanyl dealer, but a judge is trying to force their return. They allege the judge's orders lack statutory authority, potentially causing a constitutional crisis. The speaker highlights a potential conflict of interest, stating the judge's daughter works for a nonprofit aiding illegal immigrants and celebrated the ruling online with coworkers whose father issued it. Laura Loomer exposed this information online. Steve Miller argues the situation isn't "justiciable," meaning it's not subject to judicial remedy. He asserts the president is using Article Two powers to defend against an invasion or repel foreign terrorists. He questions whether a district court judge can direct troop movements overseas. The speaker likens the judge's order to telling someone not to breathe.

The US president intentionally opened the border, leading to a catastrophe. This has caused his approval rating to plummet, with 60% of people disapproving. The failure of leadership has put the presidency at risk. The American people are fed up and demand border security. The president has the authority to act without Congress, but he refuses to do so.

Speaker 0 introduces humor about President Trump, saying, “I give president Trump quite a hard time, but sometimes that dude is just funny as hell. Check this out.” Speaker 1 asks, “And mister president, if you are declaring war against these cartels and congress is likely to approve of that process, why not just ask for a declaration of war?” Speaker 2 responds, “Well, I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. Okay? We're gonna kill them. You know? They're gonna be, like, dead. Okay? Mister president. Yeah. Mister president.” Speaker 0 reiterates, “I don't think we need a declaration of war. We're just gonna we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country, and they're gonna they're gonna be dead. Okay. Yeah. Like it was just no big deal, man. We're just we're just killing people without trial, without a jury, without being convicted of a crime. You know? We're just we're just gonna kill them. Okay? Dude's funny as hell.”

The speaker reminds viewers of the US Constitution's requirement to protect borders. If the government fails, citizens can defend themselves. Neglecting borders aids foreign invasion, considered treason. The speaker questions why US military members aren't upholding the Constitution, as they have the right to do so. Translation: The speaker emphasizes the importance of protecting borders according to the US Constitution. Citizens can defend themselves if the government fails to do so, which is considered treason. The speaker questions why members of the US military are not fulfilling their duty to uphold the Constitution, as they have the right to do so.

The speaker invokes James Madison to emphasize that war and peace decisions belong to the legislature, calling it the “crown jewel of Congress,” and warns that concentrating war-making power in one person erodes liberty. If the president believes military action against Venezuela is justified, the case should be made to Congress and Congress should vote before American lives and treasure are spent on regime change in South America. The speaker questions the likelihood of Maduro being replaced by a modern-day George Washington, asking how past interventions fared in Cuba, Libya, Iraq, or Syria. He notes that previous presidents used weapons of mass destruction as a justification for war, referencing the WMD narrative and suggesting a parallel with today’s rhetoric about drugs as a supposed WMD. He asserts that if the objective were drugs, actions would have targeted Mexico, China, or Colombia, and highlights the pardon of Juan Orlando Hernandez as inconsistent with a drug-war narrative. He contends that the policy for regime change is driven by oil interests, and asserts that the United States has already pursued this path in Venezuela without success. The speaker recalls the 2019 recognition of Juan Guaido, the seizure of Venezuela’s embassy in Washington, and claims that regime change was promised but Maduro remains in power years later. He mentions contemporary exiled figures as hopes, specifically naming Edmundo Gonzalez and Maria Carina Machado, but warns that Congress should not provide a blank check for military escalation and American lives. A central contradiction highlighted is the administration’s labeling of the Maduro regime as narco terrorists while at the same time potentially causing countless refugees through escalation, alongside moves to end temporary protected status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans and deport them to the regime it condemns. The speaker poses questions about whether the nation should absorb millions of Venezuelan refugees and spend billions to destroy and rebuild the country, or risk creating a “miniature Afghanistan in the Western Hemisphere.” If the cost is deemed acceptable by Congress, the speaker argues it should be decided through a vote, aligning with the Constitution. He clarifies that the current vote is not for declaring war or authorizing force, but for a war powers resolution that reaffirms Congress’s authority over war decisions. He urges support for the resolution and closes as time expires.

The administration believes the president has constitutional authority to conduct national security operations, citing the Alien Enemies Act. They argue a district court judge cannot interfere with the president's power to repel a foreign terrorist in the country. The administration claims the "Trane de Aragua" (TDA) is an alien enemy force sent by the Venezuelan government, triggering the Alien Enemies Act, which allows the president to repel invasions or incursions directed by a foreign government. They state the president determines what triggers this statute, not a district court judge. The administration argues a district court judge cannot enjoin the expulsion of foreign terrorists or direct military actions. They believe the Supreme Court will agree the president's actions as commander in chief are not subject to judicial review. They claim individual deportations cannot be adjudicated by a single district court judge, as it undermines national sovereignty. The administration maintains there is no conflict between the judge's order and the actions taken by the departments of defense, justice, and homeland security.
