On today’s show, Josh Hammer breaks down the horrific terror attack that struck the day before Thanksgiving — and why it’s a direct consequence of reckless, wide-open immigration policies. Josh demands urgent action to fully vet every Afghan refugee brought in under the Biden administration and calls for a temporary pause on all migration until we actually know who is entering the country.
Josh then turns to the week’s major geopolitical development: the U.S. striking narco-terrorist boats in international waters. He explains why the attacks were legally justified, pointing to a 1936 Supreme Court case that strongly backs the legality of decisive action against foreign criminal threats.
National Guard Member Dies After DC Shooting
With Col. Josh McConkey, mergency Preparedness Liaison Officer (EPLO) West Virginia, Joint Task Force NCR (National Capital Region) – author of the book Be The Weight Behind The Spear (released 9/22/2023).
A large-scale immigration operation is set to begin in southeast Louisiana and into Mississippi, with roughly 250 federal Border Patrol agents expected to deploy starting Monday. The crackdown, dubbed “Swamp Sweep,” will be led by Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino, who has overseen similar operations in other major Democratic-run cities.
Officials say the goal of the operation is to make up to 5,000 arrests in and around New Orleans, a
Democratic-led city, as part of the Trump administration’s broader efforts to intensify immigration enforcement and mass deportations.
Louisiana Republican Governor Jeff Landry has voiced support for the operation, while many residents in New Orleans are expressing concern, with some attending “know your rights” workshops in anticipation of the crackdown.
Authorities say the operation will focus on individuals in the country illegally, and will involve checkpoints, arrests, and enforcement actions extending across state lines into Mississippi.
The suspect in the shooting of two National Guard members is now facing a first-degree murder charge. Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, announced the upgraded charges after the death of 20-year-old Specialist Sarah Beckstrom. Pirro said the suspect drove across the country to launch an “ambush-style” attack with a .357 Smith & Wesson revolver. He initially faced charges of assault with intent to kill while armed and possession of a firearm during a crime of violence.
Hearings are set to begin Monday in the case of Luigi Mangione, the 27-year-old charged in the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Mangione’s lawyers are seeking to block prosecutors from using key evidence, including a 9 mm handgun and a notebook that authorities say details his intent to commit the crime. Defense attorneys argue that police violated Mangione’s rights during his arrest, including conducting a warrantless search of his backpack and questioning him before advising him of his right to remain silent.
The hearings are expected to last more than a week, coinciding with the first anniversary of Thompson’s death. Prosecutors say the evidence is crucial to proving motive and linking Mangione to the December 4 shooting, in which Thompson was gunned down while walking to a Manhattan hotel for his company’s annual investor conference.
Mangione has pleaded not guilty to state and federal murder charges. State prosecutors are pursuing life in prison if convicted, while federal authorities are seeking the death penalty.
Court officials say the hearings could be a critical prelude to Mangione’s upcoming trial, and any ruling on evidence could significantly shape how the case proceeds.
