Tara dismantles a dangerous myth head-on: the Second Amendment does not give anyone the right to resist arrest — especially while armed 🚫🔫. Walking listeners through federal law, video evidence, and reporting, she explains why the shooting of Alex Preti followed the commission of multiple felonies, starting with assaulting a federal officer under 18 USC §111 ⚖️.
But the legal facts weren’t the real story — the narrative war was. Tara exposes how activists, politicians, and media figures deliberately blurred the line between ICE and Customs & Border Patrol, turning a criminal act into an emotional weapon 📉🔥. She breaks down Signal-chat coordination, traffic blocking as a tactic, and how disruption was used to delay law enforcement backup.
From there, the episode widens into a devastating critique of Republican messaging failures, the absence of a real war room, and how even friendly reporters turned after exaggerated claims couldn’t be backed up 🎯📰. Tara also puts the outrage in historical context, comparing enforcement under Obama, Trump, and Biden — and revealing why sanctuary jurisdictions account for the overwhelming majority of violent ICE confrontations.
This episode connects the dots between law, media failure, foreign funding, cartel influence, and why losing the message may be more dangerous than losing the argument.
