Our attempts to sedate Thane fail as he continues to bring you his unfiltered truth. We cover quite a few topics from Shawn testifying before Congress but forgetting his pants to the latest ACLU lawsuit.

The boys discuss FEPA, AFGE President J. David Cox’s words before their legislative conference, and the glaring deterioration of enforcement actions by the Border Patrol.

It is a must listen episode!

Shawn and Thane sit down with the new San Diego Sector Chief Patrol Agent, Richard Barlow, for a wide ranging interview. The conversation includes background on the Chief’s career, his work experience, and his thoughts on many topics.

Throughout the hour long interview they discuss the Chief’s views on discipline, the murders of Border Patrol Agents Robert Rosas and Brian Terry, the Joint Field Command, Pay Reform, and what the Chief thinks of the Union.

If you know Chief Barlow you will enjoy hearing his views and if you don’t it will give you insight into a man who still considers himself just a PA.

We dive deeper into the situation surrounding the uniforms. Shawn and Thane make a call to action to attempt to get the uniform allowance increased.

We also give an update on the M-4s and our request for a 1:1 ratio for rifles.

Don’t miss next week’s interview with Chief Richard Barlow, only on The Green Line.

Shawn and Thane start their tenth episode with an appeal to help a fellow agent in need. Help raise money to assist Barrett Blick in his fight against cancer. They take calls throughout the show from listeners in Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and California who ask about topics from the tuition assistance program, amnesty, and Union dues being used for political purposes.

They discuss possible executive actions on amnesty, rumors of a pay raise for ICE officers, and statements from lawmakers.

Shawn and Thane also talk about news articles pertaining to drones patrolling 50% of the border and Border Patrol agents being ID’d in lawsuits.

Shawn and Thane wrap up the show by discussing some of the show’s followers on Twitter such as Taye Diggs and Art Velez
