Episode notes
Biden Administration's Credibility
- The Biden administration lacks credibility due to past misinformation on topics like COVID-19 origins and border security.
- Their narrative on the drone incidents is questionable, potentially hiding a foreign or domestic embarrassment.
Border Wall Construction and Material Sale
- Trump built/replaced 500 miles of border wall despite facing opposition from within his administration and lawsuits.
- The current administration is selling off the remaining materials at a low price, potentially increasing the cost for future wall construction.
Effectiveness of Walls
- Walls, while not impenetrable, increase the difficulty and cost for intruders, freeing up manpower for other security measures.
- Historical examples like Constantinople's walls demonstrate their effectiveness in deterring and delaying breaches.
