Show Notes

Allen Roth, President of Secure America, talks with High School Teacher Jeremy Adams, author of Hollowed Out: A Warning about America’s Next Generation Jeremy Adams has spent decades trying to instill wisdom, ambition, and love of learning in his students. And yet, when teachers get together, they often share an arresting conclusion: Something has gone terribly wrong. Something essential is missing in our young people. Their curiosity seems stunted, their reason undeveloped, their values uninformed, their knowledge lacking, and most worrying of all, their humanity diminished. Hollowed Out reveals how a combination of excess media, isolation, alienation of tradition, and now the effects of COVID-19 are provoking an avalanche of ramifications for Gen Z.

The monitoring cameras inside Iran's most fortified nuclear facilities just went dark. The IAEA has been locked out. And from 60% enriched uranium to a bomb… it's now a matter of days. But while the world watches the Middle East, a completely different kind of threat is already operating inside American cities. In this episode, Sam Westrop of the Middle East Forum breaks down the architecture of the Red-Green Alliance, a tactical partnership between the radical left and Islamist extremist networks targeting American sovereignty from the inside out.

In this episode, we break down the DHS funding fight, what’s really at stake, who’s sabotaging border enforcement, and why bureaucrats and radical politicians would rather protect sanctuary policies than protect American families. We explain how funding battles directly impact border security, ICE enforcement, deportations, and national safety, and why every delay is a win for cartels, traffickers, and criminals—and a loss for law-abiding Americans. If you care about law and order, American sovereignty, and putting citizens first, this episode is required listening.
