Episode 87
July 10, 2017
Broadcasting live from the Breitbart News Studios, Shawn Moran and Chris Cabrera lead off the KVOI show.

They call on Chief Mark Morgan to put his stamp on the Border Patrol and make this murder a line of duty death.
Chris Cabrera talks about the increase in assaults by OTMs (Other Than Mexicans) on Border Patrol agents. The US Attorneys Office is prosecuting the illegal aliens committing these crimes, which has not always happened in the past.
Shawn and Chris also address the complaints made by the ACLU about the conditions in Border Patrol holding cells. Complaints include that the cells are too cold, uncomfortable and that the food is unappealing.
After the break, award-winning journalist and WMEX radio host Michele McPhee join Shawn and Chris to discuss border security. She talks about how what happens at the border doesn’t always stay at the border.

Del Cueto also discusses cases where agents were assaulted and the US government does not prosecute the illegal aliens who committed them.

Once again the topic of polygraphs for CBP employment is discussed especially some of the horror stories about how they are applied to applicants. It appears some polygraphs look at failing people as sport or have some axes to grind.
Shawn, Art, and Chris discuss a recent report about US citizens being detained and about the condition of Border Patrol stations and detention centers.
Prior to the July 4th holiday, CBP released info on four use of force incidents, providing some long called for transparency. Art and Chris give their opinion on whether this is the direction the agency should go.
Finally the guys discuss the Supreme Court’s tie which sends the case on the President’s executive actions back down to the lower courts. It send the message that even Presidents are not above the law.
