This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Chuck Warren and Sam Stone are joined by Michael Deibert, who explores the contrasts between Haiti 30 years ago and its current state. He discusses the nation's political collapse, rampant gang violence, and his interview with gang leader Jimmy Chérizier, known as "Barbecue." Michael emphasizes the need for stronger governance, economic opportunities, and enhanced international collaboration to address Haiti's ongoing crisis and create pathways to stability. Later, Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell of The Daily Signal also joins the program to recap recent Supreme Court arguments on state laws banning gender-affirming care for minors. Drawing from her article, What I Saw Outside the Supreme Court Amid Oral Arguments About Whether States Can Protect Minors from ‘Gender-Affirming Care’, she shares her firsthand experiences reporting from the scene. Finally, in Kiley’s Corner, Kiley explores the chilling case of a man who tampered with his wife's parachute in an attempted murder and highlights a potential police cover-up involving the son of a Suffolk, VA, detective.
