Shawn talks about 1513holsters.com, the newest sponsor of the podcast and radio show. The Green Line holsters just showed up and the boys couldn’t be happier with the quality or low-profile factor. Shawn talks about an encounter he had outside the studio this week.
The majority of the episode is dedicated to Secretary Clinton’s immigration proposals should she be elected President and how they would impact Border Patrol operations. Art and Chris talk about how the RGV and Tucson Sectors would be affected by amnesty or more liberal immigration policies. The big question is: why does she not talk about any type of border enforcement?
