Now we’re seeing the Mexican flag being waived on American soil in opposition to American laws. How did we get here? How did the old talking point that we often hear today, referring to illegal immigrants as “hardworking, our neighbors, our coworkers,” now turn into this? It’s due to compassionate leadership, guilt, and misguided narratives. 

JANELLE KING

ATLANTA – Let’s discuss the hidden costs of so-called “compassionate” policies that may sound noble but place American security and prosperity at risk. From immigration loopholes and border security issues to the myths about Native American lands and the real impact of under-the-table employment, we expose how these policies often do more harm than good.

Retirement Roadmap Radio: Time is Flying in 2025


ATLANTA – We examine essential mid-year financial steps that could help you finish the year strong and brighten your financial future. Time flies by quickly, making it crucial to check in on your financial goals periodically rather than putting them off indefinitely.

• Consider saving for retirement early, even if in small amounts, to harness the power of compound interest
• Check your workplace retirement plans – many now offer automatic enrollment at 3%, but experts recommend aiming for 10-15% contribution rates
• Consider taking advantage of catch-up contributions at age 50 ($7,500 extra in 401k) and the new higher limits between ages 60-63 ($11,250 extra)
• Are you planning for a potentially 30+ year retirement, as people are living longer but retiring earlier?
• Consider Roth accounts for tax-free growth – even opening one with minimal contributions starts the important 5-year clock
• Have you developed a tax strategy for retirement as most retirement savings are in tax-deferred accounts requiring future taxation?
• Are you prepared for healthcare costs averaging $165,000 per person during retirement?
• Have you ensured your estate planning documents are current and properly prepared?
• Is it time to rebalance your investment portfolios to match your risk tolerance and time horizon?

Iraq and Afghanistan were tough and we have a lot of questions after those two wars as to our effectiveness. But what as we see here today, what we do know is, as a conventional military, we are the superpower in this world.

Boortz Report: The Big Decision

But the big story continues to be Iran. Look, I know it’s easy for me and any other American with opinions to say what should and should not be done in Iran. I cannot imagine being the person who actually has to make that decision. 

NEAL BOORTZ

ATLANTA – As we watch the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, Boortz reflects on how difficult the job is for the Commander in Chief.

Deadnaming Laws and Pronoun Police!

You call somebody who is a “he,” but claims to be a “she,” a “him,” and you can be ordered by a court to attend one of these reeducation programs.

ATLANTA – Recently, the state of Colorado implemented a new law that prohibits people from “deadnaming” a transsexual or using someone’s “non-preferred pronouns” under penalty of law. Those found guilty of this “hate crime” are sentenced to court-ordered, mandatory participation in an “education program.”

Today Boortz exposes the source of this legislative madness and the dimwits behind this assault on free speech and biology.

I agree with what President Trump is doing on the whole. You get these people out of here, let them go back through, let them come back in time, apply, become naturalized people, immigrants, whatever. I’m OK with that and we should do that, but that is the country that we should fundamentally have.  

BEN BURNETT

ATLANTA – Easily the biggest story of the week are the L.A. riots, and Trump’s response to them. Get Ben’s take on the riots themselves, his evaluation of Governor Gavin Newsom, what he thinks of L.A. Mayor Karen Bass and whether or not Trump sending in the National Guard was the answer.

PLUS: Ben discusses what he sees that’s special about Georgia State Senator Greg Dolezal and how Mike Rowe might have the best take on the tariffs.

You cannot trust what they call the “legacy media,” the “mainstream media,” when it comes to reporting on violent socialist communist inspired riots! 

NEAL BOORTZ

ATLANTA – Boortz rants on these anti-ICE, commie-inspired riots torching Los Angeles and beyond. We’ve got brain-dead kids under 25 chucking rocks, egged on by media clowns and that bartender-turned-genius, AOC, spewing nonsense about “peaceful” protests.
