Biden's Presidency: A Secure Border Remains an Elusive Goal

In the Morning Wire Afternoon Update podcast

The first story discussed is about the latest developments in the Trump indictment case. Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing special counsel Jack Smith's documents case, has demanded a legal explanation from the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding their use of an "out-of-district grand jury proceeding."

The DOJ had requested a hearing to address possible conflicts of interest with Stanley Woodward, who is representing Trump valet Walt Nauta but has also represented potential witnesses for the government. Cannon has asked the DOJ to explain why they used an out-of-district grand jury proceeding to continue their investigation and seek post-indictment hearings related to the case.

Journalist Julie Kelly expressed her approval of Judge Cannon's response to the events, stating that she is a legitimate judge who will not tolerate any misconduct from Jack Smith. Kelly highlighted a significant moment during the proceedings where the defense was asked to raise concerns about possible grand jury abuse by the Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ allegedly conducted most of the investigation in Washington, DC, but switched to Florida at the last minute for the indictment. Kelly considered this to be a crucial point in the case.

In a breaking news update, it is reported that Judge Cannon is being praised for her strong stance against Jack Smith. The judge is said to be intolerant of Smith's behavior. The highlight of the situation is when she asked the defense to bring up the possibility of grand jury abuse by the Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ is accused of conducting the majority of the investigation in Washington, D.C., and then suddenly switching to Florida for the indictment. This development is being regarded as significant and is generating a lot of attention.

Julie Kelly, a Twitter user, expresses confidence in Judge Cannon's ability to be a fair judge who follows the Constitution. For more information about Cannon, readers can click on a provided link. Additionally, there are images circulating of suspected cartel gunmen crossing the southern border into Texas while wearing body armor and carrying rifles.

According to law enforcement sources, three men were seen on camera in Fronton, Texas. However, when border patrol agents investigated, they found nothing. This incident follows the arrest of five suspected members of the Northeast Cartel in the same location in June. Additionally, the Texas Department of Public Safety recently spotted an armed smuggler in Eagle Pass, using a drone, who was guiding a group of illegal immigrants across the Rio Grande.

The content provided suggests that the Biden administration is not focused on sealing the border and instead aims for openness. The author criticizes the administration's approach, suggesting that they are incompetent and do not genuinely believe the border is secure. The article also implies that only a Republican president in 2024 will be able to restore order to the border.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has replaced his campaign manager, Generra Peck, with his current chief of staff, James Uthmeier, as he prepares for a potential 2024 presidential campaign. The campaign stated that Uthmeier has been one of DeSantis's top advisers for years and is needed in a crucial role. This change comes as DeSantis faces challenges in the polls, trailing behind former President Donald Trump.

The DeSantis campaign has faced setbacks and has failed to gain momentum. Despite promises from his supporters that his popularity would increase after announcing his campaign and hitting the campaign trail, he continues to lag behind former President Donald Trump in the polls. However, it is still early in the race, and DeSantis acknowledges the need for improvement in his campaign strategy.

The article discusses the recent shake-up in the campaign team of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. It mentions that campaign shake-ups are not uncommon and cites former President Donald Trump's multiple campaign managers in 2016 as an example. The article highlights the importance of observing the direction that DeSantis' new campaign manager, Uthmeier, will take the campaign. It also mentions DeSantis' winning political message of "Just Be Normal" and questions whether this message will effectively reach voters outside of Florida.

Ohio voters are heading to the polls to vote on Ohio Issue 1, a referendum backed by Republicans. The referendum would require any proposed amendment to the state's Constitution to receive the approval of at least 60 percent of voters, instead of a simple majority. If passed, Ohio would have the same voter approval requirement as Florida, making it the state with the highest requirement to pass citizen-initiated constitutional amendments.

The article discusses the implications of an upcoming vote in Ohio regarding the addition of an "abortion" amendment to the state's constitution. The vote, known as Issue 1, will determine whether abortion supporters would need to gain 60% support from voters in order to add the amendment. If Issue 1 fails, abortion could potentially be added to Ohio's constitution. The article highlights the significance of this vote in the context of the upcoming November elections.
