Pete invited Iraq/Afghanistan War Vet, and former Border Patrol Agent Joshua Childress to come on the show.
After coming home from the wars, Joshua joined the southern Border Patrol. After hearing podcasts like Thaddeus Russell’s and Brett Veinotte’s, and reading Scott Horton’s ‘Fool’s Errand,’ Joshua decided to leave the border patrol.
Joshua talks about a multitude of issues but Pete concentrates on the mindset of an order taker, and an order giver.
The judge says contempt of court, off to jail.

“Anti-Semitism is a hateful and dangerous ideology which must be vigorously opposed in the United States and around the world. We must not, however, equate anti-Semitism with legitimate criticism of the right-wing, Netanyahu government in Israel.

“What I fear is going on in the House now is an effort to target Congresswoman Omar as a way of stifling that debate. That’s wrong.”
Your move, Israel Lobby.
