Ep 341 | Why Are the Media so Hell-Bent on Denying the Flow of Middle Easterners at Our Border?

“You can’t just judge a threat based on body count alone.”

Todd Bensman (@bensmanTodd), expert counterterrorism fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, joins me today to discuss how the political class purposely refuses to recognize a threat until it’s too late.

Specifically, we focus on how the media are refusing to recognize the problem of Middle Easterners coming to the border. They are debating prayer rugs as trace evidence when we have thousands of them coming in front of our eyes. He tells us how he’s been battling this problem his entire career. Why does the media not want the public to know?

We also have a deep philosophical discussion about counterterrorism and demographics and how to prevent America from becoming like Europe both through our land border and through our visas. 

The bottom line is that we must eschew this false dichotomy of “focus on this problem, but not that one.” We need to be honest and recognize all security problems before they reach critical mass and counter them at every strategic point.
