Deep dives
Democrats' Proposal to Allow Undocumented Individuals in the Military
Tricky Dick Durbin, a Democrat Senator, has proposed a bill that suggests allowing undocumented individuals to serve in the military. According to Durbin's bill, if an undocumented person can pass the required physical and background tests and serves honorably, they will be granted U.S. citizenship. This proposal raises concerns about the military's recruiting crisis and the potential risks of allowing individuals who have violated U.S. immigration laws to serve in the armed forces. The idea of prioritizing social justice initiatives, such as diversity, equity, and inclusion, over creating a cohesive and lethal fighting unit is criticized as a recipe for disaster.
The Open Border and National Security
The open border and the lack of border security are highlighted as potential risks to national security. The podcast episode discusses how terrorists and even the Chinese Communist Party could potentially take advantage of the current open border situation to infiltrate the military by sending illegal immigrants who have broken U.S. immigration laws. The concern is that without proper vetting and background checks, it becomes difficult to identify potential security threats. The Chinese Communist Party's involvement and the possibility of their agents entering the country illegally are emphasized.
Joe Biden's Connection to China and Foreign Influence
The podcast delves into the allegations of Joe Biden's connection to China and the influence it may have on his presidency. The episode mentions the recurring payments Joe Biden received from a firm associated with his son, Hunter Biden, that originated from China. Although the left-wing media attempts to downplay this as insignificant by focusing on the purpose of the payments, the larger issue of foreign influence is raised. Concerns are expressed about China potentially taking advantage of an open-border policy and having an individual with ties to China as the President of the United States.
