We’ve never faced such a ubiquitous threat from Islamic terrorists, yet our government is still slow to recognize the source of the problem. I begin today by rounding up the latest news on recent terrorist attacks and analyzing the new Trump immigration moratorium as a mixed bag. Also, I’m increasingly concerned about the lack of strategy in Venezuela and Qatari involvement. We’re joined by former FBI whistleblower Steve Friend, who has a gut-wrenching message for us: The Trump/Patel FBI is not different from the Biden FBI. He describes how the bureau re-hired him only to humiliate him and then fire him again after leaking the news to the media. The FBI is continuing its same failed modus operandi of focusing on overly broad missions, prioritizing intelligence over police work, measuring success by arbitrary measures, and fostering the same climate of anarcho-tyranny we saw under Biden. Leaders are leaving in place the entire weaponized structure for the next Democrat president to turn loose on all of us, even as they continue to be grossly incompetent in contending with real security threats.
