Topic: Illegal Immigration
Discussed by Brian Phillips
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

Not all migrants are desperate people doing whatever it takes to escape where they are from. Some come to America for the sole purpose of doing harm.

Brian Phillips is the Chief Communications Officer with the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Today, Brian discusses the “silk roads” used to penetrate American soil and what we must do to stop them.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are our enemies using “silk roads” to penetrate America?

Who are the enemies of America? Brian discusses how China, Russia, and Iran, and non-state entities such as Hezbollah, Hamas, MS-13, and Tren de Aragua are using the open borders to build their infrastructure inside the US.

It’s estimated 3,000 Hamas terrorists penetrated Israel on October 7, 2023. How many illegal Chinese aliens have penetrated America in recent years? This number straight from Border Customs is absolutely astonishing!!

Have the Chinese established “police stations” on American soil?

Are Muslim Americans demanding to be under Sharia Law not the US Constitution or even State Constitutions? There is some good news regarding this “rumor”.

Are the enemies of America coordinated, connected, and working together with the Mexican cartels?

Will our border crisis become our national downfall? Brian encourages people to VOTE for candidates who will fight for America and who will secure our border once and for all.

What are some of the top issues on Texans’ minds?

The Federal government, under the direction of Joe Biden, is attempting to tell Texas they cannot stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States. Is this issue being addressed in committees?

Title: A Pressure Campaign
Topic: Elections Matter
Discussed by Brian Phillips
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

Earlier this month, a school official at Borman Elementary in the Denton school district sent an email pressing school employees to support anti-school choice candidates in the upcoming Republican primary. Employees were told that their time would be “covered” and that the school expected everyone to vote.

Today, Brian Phillips gives more details about the school official and the obvious attempt to railroad pro-school choice candidates in the upcoming election. Brian Phillips is the Chief Communications Officers with the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Brian Phillps discusses more details about the email…

Have Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Senator Paul Bettencourt chimed in on this blatant misuse of taxpayer money?

Is this an isolated incident?

FACT: Only 43% of the students in this Denton school district can read at grade level and only 32% are on math grade level. Should the school district be focusing on that issue, not campaigning for candidates?

How much control do drug and trafficking cartels exert over the Mexican Government?

Are Texas Democrats hurling doomsday racial accusations at those who favor more border control? Brian discusses more lies that are being spread by elected officials…

Are Hispanics who live in the poor counties being overrun by drug and trafficking cartels in favor of SB4?

Title: Project 2025
Topic: Conservative Employees Needed in WDC
Discussed by Brian Phillips
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

The actions of liberal politicians in WDC have created a desperate need and unique opportunity for Conservatives to start undoing the damage the Left has wrought and build a better country for all Americans in 2025.

Brian Phillips is the Chief Communications Officer with the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Today, he discusses the need for more Conservatives to work in WDC.

Click here for more from Brian Phillips.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Brian reveals the gritty details, saying: “They’re so sneaky with it that it doesn’t usually rise to the level of insubordination like directly lying to the President.”

Is there an analysis of political appointees from Clinton through Trump? Why is there such a huge difference between Republican and Democrat employees and appointees?

Terry shares a personal story about being invited to work in WDC…

Why start looking for and hiring Republican/Conservative-minded people to work in WDC in 2025?

Have Democrats been placing people in Republican offices for decades? Brian describes this tactic as a “weapon” and warns us to be prepared.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Has CNBC admitted positive qualities about Texas? Brian discusses the current ranking for the Texas economy, mentioning booming small businesses and the quality of the workforce.

CNBC rank Texas dead last in “Life, Health, and Inclusion”. What does that mean? Do any of these social issues really affect the Texas economy in any way?

Do the majority of Texans really care what the journalists at CNBC write?

If Texas is really so bad, why are hundreds of thousands of people moving from Liberal Blue states with horrible tax rates and crumbling economies to live in Texas and other Southern Red states with booming economies and lower tax rates?

BOTTOM LINE: Is CNBC just angry with Texas for taking a stand against the LGBT and abortion agendas?
