Biden’s bungled Afghanistan exit has become such a catastrophe that even the liberal media is beginning to question the Commander in Chief's competence. As American foreign policy collapses before our very eyes, Senator Ted Cruz joins Michael Knowles for a sobering dive into what went wrong, what can still be done, and what America’s place on the international stage will be under Biden and beyond. The eyes of the world are upon us now—especially the eyes of China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah.

Taliban Takeover

1. Major Mexican Cartel Leader KilledCHECK OUT the STORY
Mexican forces killed Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (“El Mencho”), leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
His death triggered violent retaliation across multiple Mexican states, including burning vehicles, airport panic, suspended public transportation, and regional shutdowns.
The U.S. issued shelter‑in‑place warnings for American travelers in affected areas.
Violence may increasingly target American tourists, especially during spring break.
Commentary emphasizes Mexico’s struggle with cartel control and the U.S. pushing Mexico to take stronger action.

2. U.S.–Mexico Relations and Trump Administration Pressure CHECK OUT the STORY
Mexico’s action was a response to pressure from President Trump, who warned of U.S. strikes on cartel targets.
Broader theme: Trump administration aims to deter cartels, reduce drug trafficking, human smuggling, and violent crime.
Noted drops in national murder rates (~20%) and drug overdose deaths (~20%), attributed to tougher border and anti‑cartel policies.
Commentary mocks media for ignoring or downplaying these improvements.

3. Advice for Americans in Mexico
For those currently in Mexico, the guidance is:

Check State Department travel advisories.
Follow regional safety updates closely.
Contact U.S. government resources if in danger.
Hosts recommend being extremely cautious about spring break travel during escalating cartel unrest.

4. Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Tariff Approach
Supreme Court decision ruled that one specific statute (IEEPA) does not authorize the tariff method Trump used.
Majority opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts; the prediction on the podcast had expected the opposite outcome.
However, the ruling does not prevent Trump from imposing tariffs — it simply means he must rely on other statutes.
The conversation outlines multiple other laws Trump can still use:

Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 122, 301)
Smoot-Hawley (Section 338)
Trade Expansion Act (Section 232)
Trade Act Safeguards (Section 201)
Expectation: tariffs will continue, though implemented via different legal pathways.

4. Political Reaction to the Tariff Ruling
China and U.S. Democrats were reportedly celebrating the ruling.
Democrats oppose tariffs mainly to politically hurt Trump, not on principle.
Expect ongoing litigation from companies seeking refunds from past tariffs—potentially costing billions.

6. Upcoming State of the Union
Suggestion that Trump should focus the State of the Union on:

Lower crime rates
Lower drug overdose deaths
“America First” accomplishments
Acknowledged cartel takedowns but also keeping the focus on domestic well-being.

7. Olympic Highlights — USA Beats Canada in Men’s Hockey

      "We got GREAT Dentists" WATCH Hughes video HERE
Big national pride moment: USA wins gold in men’s hockey against Canada in overtime.
Follows U.S. women also beating Canada in the finals.
Jack Hughes (NHL player, Team USA) celebrated passionately about playing for the country.

Mexican Cartel Chaos, SCOTUS Tariff Decision & Olympic Gold

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/c91b7cfd-682f-4822-94a8-b3dd006a9d6e/transcript

1. Criticism of Democratic Leaders on Law Enforcement
Barack Obama, Gavin Newsom, and other Democratic figures are hostile toward law enforcement agencies, particularly ICE and National Guard deployments.
Obama is quoted as describing some federal agents’ actions as “rogue,” which the speakers interpret as an attack on ICE.
Gavin Newsom is criticized for comments comparing masked federal agents to authoritarian “secret police,” specifically referencing imagery associated with Germany’s past.
Newsom’s claim that National Guard federalization was unprecedented.
President Eisenhower’s 1957 use of federal authority to enforce desegregation in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Newsom is “historically illiterate,” which later triggers a public Twitter exchange.

2. Newsom’s Response and the Dyslexia Angle
Newsom accuses Ted Cruz of mocking his dyslexia.
Cruz responds that “historically illiterate” referred to misunderstanding history, not reading ability.
A social‑media back‑and‑forth unfolds, including jokes, memes, and comparisons of engagement statistics.
Obama is:

Highly partisan,
Influential on younger progressive Democrats,
Associated with cultural or “Marxist” ideological trends (as described by the speakers),
Possibly influential behind the scenes during the Biden administration.
Obama’s presidency contributed to increased political division.

3. Discussion of Tucker Carlson’s Recent Behavior
Carlson has changed significantly since leaving Fox News.

Anti‑Israel sentiment
Hosting extremist guests
Favoring authoritarians such as Putin or Iranian leadership
Attacking Christian Zionists
He may have ulterior financial or ideological motivations (while acknowledging no direct evidence).
Carlson claimed Israeli airport officials detained him and questioned his team.

Video footage showed him freely interacting with people at the airport,
Israeli officials denied detaining him,
A U.S. embassy statement also contradicted Carlson’s story.
Carlson traveled to Israel to interview the ambassador but insisted on conducting the interview at the airport.
Carlson claiming safety concerns while contrasting it with his willingness to travel in Russia or Qatar.

Democrat Party HATES Law-Enforcement, Newsom gets behind Dyslexia & a Tale of Tucker Turbulence Week In Review

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/ae6eadb5-fd1c-4b68-b756-b3dd006a7792/transcript

1. Claims about left‑wing funding and jury nullification
Certain left‑wing or activist groups are promoting jury nullification—encouraging jurors to acquit defendants even if they believe the defendants are guilty.
They cite examples from Minneapolis, focusing on activist networks promoting “jury nullification training.”
The hosts frame this as part of a broader political effort they associate with progressive donors and organizations.
Historical examples of jury nullification—both positive and negative—are mentioned (e.g., Fugitive Slave Act resistance, Emmett Till case).
They argue that encouraging political jurors to “lie during voir dire” would undermine the justice system.

2. Discussion about prosecutors and criminal justice
The speakers criticize certain district attorneys they associate with George Soros' funding efforts.
They claim these DAs reduce prosecutions or lessen criminal enforcement, framing it as a method of "abolishing the police."
Examples of high‑profile progressive prosecutors are mentioned across various US cities.

3. Tucker Carlson segment
The hosts discuss Tucker Carlson’s recent travel to Israel, claiming he falsely stated he was detained by Israeli airport security.
They reference video footage and statements attributed to Israeli authorities and the U.S. embassy that contradict Carlson's claim.
The hosts criticize Carlson’s political positions, alleging:

He has become hostile toward Israel.
He features guests they describe as extremists.
His views have shifted since leaving Fox News.

4. Aliens / UFO portion
The hosts mention comments by Barack Obama and Donald Trump about unidentified aerial phenomena.
Trump is quoted as saying he will direct agencies to release information about UFOs/UAPs.
Senator Cruz comments on classified briefings he has seen, calling them “underwhelming,” without disclosing details.
The segment ends with light‑hearted speculation and jokes about aliens.
