In this exclusive TFG interview, host Mike Sperrazza sits down with recurring guest Sheriff Mark Dannels from Cochise County to discuss the critical issues surrounding border security. Sheriff Dannels highlights the devastating impact of recent funding cuts to essential programs like Haida, DEA, and Stone Garden, which are vital for combating narcotics, drug trafficking, and human smuggling along the U.S.-Mexico border. The conversation delves into how political affiliations have hindered progress on border security, the growing influence of cartels, and the alarming security risks the country faces due to lack of federal support. Sheriff Dannels also addresses the urgent need for enhanced national security measures in light of the recent threats against prominent political figures, drawing parallels to the aftermath of 9/11.
