Today we discuss the atrocious murder of Laken Riley allegedly by an illegal immigrant and how liberal immigration policies in Athens, Georgia, contributed to her death. We point out how Laken Riley’s death could have been prevented if immigration laws were enforced. We also discuss why “diversity for diversity’s sake” never works and the need for a national identity of shared Christian values under Jesus Christ. For some reason, though, this belief in a Christian American national identity could now be considered bigoted and maybe even “Christian nationalist” … at least according to MSNBC. Plus, we give our take on Shane Gillis’ controversial "Saturday Night Live" appearance. --- Timecodes: (00:44) Encouragement & announcements (06:40) Laken Riley (20:48) How did this happen?

Today we're talking about the Supreme Court's decision to side with the Biden administration in a case involving a razor-wire fence along Texas’ border, in effect allowing Border Patrol agents to cut the wire intended to hold back migrants from entering. This move felt like a betrayal to conservatives after Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided against enforcing the border. We discuss what's going to happen now and why Christians are so confused about the immigration issue. Then, head writer and chief researcher for Glenn Beck Jason Buttrill joins to discuss the latest Blaze Originals documentary, "The Real Story of Colony Ridge." We explain what's really going on in Colony Ridge, Texas’ fastest-growing housing development that seems to be targeting and exploiting illegal immigrants. We look at the shocking numbers of migrants entering our country and how we should respond to what's going on at the border in light of what our government is doing there.
