How confident are you that American leaders make careful decisions when deciding to intervene in international conflicts or that they have clear, achievable objectives when they do get involved? And which global threat do you think would be easiest for the U.S. to address? Today, Sara and retired U.S. Army Green Beret Dr. Tobias Vogt break down our leaders' failures to make strong, consistent policies and give our troops clear expectations when we send them overseas. It's all part of a fascinating conversation about the serious challenges we face throughout the world. Dr. Vogt is also the Army's former Chief of Advanced Civil Schooling. He says since the end of the Cold War, American leaders have been very weak in setting and executing military and diplomatic policy. Dr. Vogt specifically hammers President Biden and his team for having no strategic objective for the U.S. whatsoever in the Middle East. He further stresses that the U.S. could unilaterally force better behavior from Iran and its proxies by simply following the effective precedents set by President Trump. He also details the failed foreign policy mindset that Biden and President Obama refuse to relinquish. Speaking of Trump, Dr. Vogt explains why he thinks Trump will be able to bring a fairly quick end to the Russia-Ukraine war and why he is very critical of Biden's "blank check" approach to Ukraine. He also shares why he thinks that policy is bad for the Ukrainian people. They also break down the massive failure of U.S. presidents over the years to engage with our neighbors in the Western Hemisphere, how it directly impacts our nation, and provides openings for our adversaries. Finally, they highlight Dr. Vogt's new book "Ghosts of Samarra," which tells the story of the outstanding soldiers he led during the Iraq War.

Is your daughter wondering whether to play girls sports because boys are allowed to play with them? Or maybe they've given up trying because boys who "identify" as girls have major physical advantages over them or they do not want to share a locker room with them. Sara's 11-year-old daughter is involved in gymnastics, cross country, and tennis. and she is already worried about what her athletic future will look like if boys are openly allowed and encouraged to play on those teams if they consider themselves girls. This is not just a hypothetical issue as the cultural left would want you to believe. It's happening in college, high schools, and beyond. It's robbing girls and women of athletic opportunities and forcing them into extremely uncomfortable situations. Riley Gaines was an All-American swimmer at the University of Kentucky. She tied for first in the nation in her event with a man presenting himself as a woman and swimming for the University of Pennsylvania. Gaines is now the most prominent figure pushing state and federal lawmakers to reclaim sanity and to keep boys and men out of girls and women's sports. Today, Sara and Riley discuss the significant progress being made to protect our girls, why coaches and parents are often afraid to speak up and insist on common sense in athletics, and what you can do to protect your kids and your community.

America's southern border is a mess. The Biden administration's dereliction leaves every state and every neighborhood at greater risk of crime and suffering losses from the deadly poisons trafficked into the U.S. But what if I told you another U.S. border is under serious threat - not from millions of unvetted migrants but from a dictator who loves to rattle his saber and has a history of invading his neighbors? In recent weeks, we've seen Russian military jets blatantly violating U.S. airspace over Alaska. President Vladimir Putin has also suggested that certain lands that once belonged to the Russian empire should be part of the country again. And more than a few observers have suggested that Putin includes Alaska on that list. So how serious is the Russian threat to Alaska? Is Putin just posturing or does he have something else in mind? And is the U.S. prepared militarily if Russia gets even more aggressive? Today, Sara explores all of these issues and much more with L. Shane Land, a disabled combat veteran of the Iraq War. Mr. Land also served as a U.S. Air Force security specialist, a U.S. Army intelligence analyst, and a civilian federal intelligence analyst for the Department of the Army. He is based in Alaska.

When Governor Abbott stood up to President Biden and his open-border policies, did you wonder if what the governor was doing was legal? After all, the courts always side with the federal government over states when it comes to border security, right? Wrong. On an exciting Sara Carter Show, law professor and Warrior Defense Project Director Dr. Jeffrey F. Addicott breaks down the legality of Greg Abbott's humiliation of the Biden administration on border security. From Addicott's perspective, the governor's decisions were completely constitutional and made with the security of his citizens in mind. While Americans can't sue the Biden administration for opening the border, Addicott lays out why it is vitally important to change the chief executive in the 2024 elections.

Who do you want to come to your rescue if you call the police? Do you want the very best qualified officers responding to your emergency or is it more important for your police department to hire based on diversity? Of course, you want the most competent people for that job. And the same goes for federal law enforcement at the FBI. However, recent reports show that standards are being relaxed at the bureau so that people who cannot pass the physical fitness test and other metrics are being allowed to proceed based on their race or gender. Former FBI Special Agent Nicole Parker joins Sara to explain how the FBI became immersed in the DEI agenda and how the quality of work at the bureau is suffering as a result. She says every unqualified agent endangers the lives of everyone else around them. But Parker does offer hope that the FBI will return to its original purpose and tradition of excellence.

It's been obvious for three years that President Biden has no intention of securing our borders and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is still the one implementing Biden's surrender on national security. And now we have the smoking gun proving Mayorkas ordered the border patrol to stop doing its job. Today, Sara welcomes retired U.S. Customs and Border Protection Joel Maldonado. Maldonado left CBP because he could not continue on the job in good conscience while border agents were told to stop securing the border and focus entirely on processing illegal immigrants, changing baby diapers, and doing other tasks that enable an invasion instead of stopping it. Together, they dissect a 2021 memo from Sec. Mayorkas, which effectively ordered border patrol to stand down and facilitate the tsunami of illegal immigration. It could not be any clearer.

Of his many failures as president, Joe Biden's dereliction at the border may be the worst. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has done nothing but aid and abet the invasion of our nation while lying to the American people that our border is secure. Today, Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs joins Sara to discuss when House Republicans will try to impeach Sec. Mayorkas and whether they have the votes to do it. Sara and Biggs also discuss how rampant illegal immigration is destroying communities in his state and around the country. Biggs also offers his candid opinion of the supposed bipartisan border security bill pushed by Democrats and even some Republicans.

Sara spends the day reflecting on the murders of three American soldiers killed in a drone attack by an Iranian-backed militia. Dozens more were injured. Sara made many trips to the war zone in Afghanistan. She's been there when enemy rockets hit the camp and service members were killed or maimed. She's seen battle-hardened troops face the pain of losing their brothers. And she knows exactly what it's like to get a phone call and find out the person you love most in this world is severely wounded. For others, it's a call to bring the worst possible news. Today, Sara shares her experiences in Afghanistan and beyond in vivid detail. She'll explain what it's like for our troops to be so far from home for months on end and how they focus on their mission regardless of what the public thinks of the war.

The federal government threw everything it could at the Lone Star State. But it was not enough. After a weekend of a standoff at Shelby Park, the Biden administration is scampering back to Washington D.C. with its tail between its legs. Sara just got back from reporting live from the Texas border and on today's special episode of the Sara Carter show, she shares what the brave men and women of Border Patrol and the Texas Department of Public Safety are saying about the state of the border crisis. Despite all the bluster from the Biden administration, those with actual boots on the ground fully back the actions of Governor Abbott and will not be bullied into making our nation less safe by destroying border barriers. After laying out players in the confrontation, Sara also shares some audio from her conversation with Lt. Chris Olivarez. He is absolutely fed up with the Biden administration's antics and calls out the president for having the ability to stop the crisis but failing to do so. Finally, Sara describes her conversation with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who was also at the border, and what the support of 25 conservative governors from across America means to the state of Texas as they face down the feds.

Do you trust the Biden administration to secure the border? Greg Abbott and conservative governors across America certainly don't. In the face of an unrelenting border crisis, brave state leaders from every corner of our country are standing up to a federal government that refuses to enforce the law. This current predicament has the chance to turn into a constitutional crisis and will certainly affect the 2024 election. To break down all the angles around the showdown at Shelby Park, Sara invites long-time border reporter and author Todd Bensman. Additionally, Bensman also shares his latest reporting on President Biden's covert deal with President Obrador of Mexico which likely involved millions of dollars in exchange for the destruction of migrant camps on the Mexican side of the border. Finally, Bensman and Sara take a long look at the Colony Ridge migrant neighborhood and the incentive structure around this obviously illegal development inside the State of Texas.

Every time information about Jeffrey Epstein's abuse and trafficking of young women and girls is released to the public, our political and cultural elite get very nervous. But so much evidence remains hidden and Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn is working tirelessly to bring the full truth to light. Today, Sara welcomes Sen. Blackburn to learn how she's demanding action from the Senate to bring forward more victims and uncover the powerful figures guilty of grossly immoral and illegal conduct towards these innocent girls. Sen. Blackburn also tears into the Biden administration and both parties in Congress for failing the American people on national security and just standing by while our nation is invaded. Blackburn says we should not be securing any other nation's borders until we protect our own. Thanks for listening to the Sara Carter Show!

For three years, illegal immigration has overwhelmed our southern border. More than seven million people have come in illegally and surrendered, with the federal government then releasing most of them into the United States. Another 1.5 million "known gotaways" have also entered, and we have no idea who they are or where they are now in the U.S. As the Biden administration oversees an "invasion by invitation," Texas officials are trying to secure the border and the American people. But every effort to do so is met with outrageous allegations, federal lawsuits, or both. The latest fight is over Texas taking control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas. The federal government alleged that Texas officials caused the drowning deaths of migrants because it would not allow Customs and Border Patrol personnel to assist. Even after this lie was uncovered, the Biden administration stands by it. Today, Texas Department of Public Safety Lt. Chris Olivarez joins Sara to tell the truth about what is happening at the border, how the federal government is facilitating the crisis, and why Texas leaders are determined to get things under control.
