Part 2: Smuggler’s Highway: Got-Aways At The Southern Border

Part 2: Dr. Phil goes to the Arizona and Texas borders looking for solutions. We are just a few days away from the 2024 election and there’s one topic that’s got everyone from Washington to Main Street talking…the border crisis. Both sides agree that work needs to be done to secure our southern border. Dr. Phil first heads to Arizona to find out why there is a super-highway for illegal crossings down there. It’s been nicknamed the "Smuggler's Highway" …right on Interstate 10, which runs through California and Arizona. It’s become the most popular route for smugglers from Mexico. But Sheriff’s deputies in Pinal County, say it isn’t just cartels smuggling migrants…it’s American teenagers. Right in the thick of it all, Sheriff Mark Lamb says the drugs and people being trafficked through this "highway" are ending up in cities all across America. In fiscal year 2023 alone, Arizona had more than 775,000 illegal border crossers. That's a whole lot of people slipping through the cracks. Sheriff Lamb tells Dr. Phil how he attempts to wrangle this situation. Plus Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels tells Dr. Phil that in the last 31 months, there have been 500 to 600 pursuits coming through his rural county. Dr. Phil talks to the Vice President of the Border Agent Council, Art Del Cueto, who says the media is not reporting much about Arizona’s border issues. Art says he has solutions if anyone would listen. And we head to Eagle Pass Texas where Dr. Phil spoke to several people working on the frontlines. He asked them THE hard questions that you won’t see anywhere else. And US Southern Border Expert, Jason Jones says human trafficking at the border is the largest US intelligence failure since 9-11. If you are looking for answers to your questions about the border, this episode has the answers.

Part 1: Smuggler’s Highway: Southern Border’s Escape Route

Dr. Phil goes on a drive-along with Sheriffs on Arizona’s “Smuggler’s Highway”. This border situation has become a political powder keg, with both sides of the aisle using it as ammunition in this upcoming election in just a few weeks. But tonight, we’re focusing on the Arizona border. With 378 miles of shared border with Mexico, divided into the Tucson and Yuma sectors, Dr. Phil meets up with Sheriff Mark Lamb who offers to take him on a “drive-along” on that stretch of road where high-speed chases happen every day putting everyone on the road at risk. And sometimes, it ends tragically. Take the story of Wanda Sitoski. Her daughter, Valarie sits down with Dr. Phil to talk about how her mother’s life was cut short when a 16-year-old American smuggler running from the law crashed right into her…killing her instantly. And Dr. Phil meets Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels who says he and his team are trying to protect 6219 square miles of rugged terrain. Plus our camera crew goes on a dangerous chase with Sheriff Dannels Interdiction Team.

Faith Fading: Is America Moving Beyond Religion?

We’re leaving behind organized religion in shocking numbers. In 1988, 17% of Americans said they never attended religious services. By 2021, this almost doubled to 31%. Church membership in the US has dropped below 50% for the first time in history. Even as the population grows, somewhere between 6,000 & 10,000 churches close down every year. Listen in as Dr. Phil and his guests delve into the hot topic of religion’s shifting role in today’s society. They unpack the societal impacts, share relatable stories of feeling disconnected from traditional practices, and brainstorm innovative ways for religious institutions to stay relevant in the modern age. The conversation balances the proven community perks of religious involvement with candid tales of disillusionment and hypocrisy that drive some away from organized faith. It’s a deep dive into navigating faith in the 21st century, blending hard data with personal insights, and spotlighting the urgent need for religious institutions to evolve while staying true to their core spiritual values.

The interview with Benjamin Netanyahu highlights the complexities of leadership, which parallels the precision required in telecommunications tools like fiber optic cleavers and spectrum analyzers. Just as Netanyahu navigates intricate political landscapes, professionals must ensure accurate cuts in fiber cables to maintain signal quality. Spectrum analyzers are essential for optimizing network performance, reflecting the need for clear evaluation and adaptability in both governance and technology. Ultimately, both fields emphasize the importance of precision for success. https://fluxnet.com.au/product-category/spectrum-analysers/

Trump just rambles, he thinks he can save everyone. We can't forget he let Iran get a head on nuclear weapons. Trump makes it up as he goes along rambling, so unpresidential and ridiculous. He's the worst President we ever had a con- man liar, thief. He has no policy. We lost more manufacturing jobs with him than any other President. Even Dr Phil can't get the facts out of this joker!
