TOP 5 REASONS: Why We Must Secure the U.S. Southern Border
March 15, 2023
Two of America's many evergreen principles are respecting the rule of law and protecting our nation from those that would do us harm, but the border crisis is a result of the Biden-Harris Administration's attack on these principles.
From national security to economic security, there are many reasons to secure our border... but here are themost pressing reasons.
The U.S.-Mexico border crisis has far-reaching implications on America's national security, economy, sovereignty, and way of life. In our latest podcast episode, we explore the top five reasons why securing our border is of utmost importance:
National Security: Securing the border is vital for preventing terrorists and criminal organizations from entering the country and causing harm to American citizens. A strong border defense minimizes the risk of these threats to our nation's safety.
Economic Security: Illegal immigration strains the economy, affecting American jobs and wages. By securing the border, we protect American jobs and ensure fair wages for all workers, contributing to a more robust economy.
Protecting American Sovereignty: The United States has the right to control its borders and enforce its immigration laws. Securing the border preserves our nation's sovereignty and upholds the rule of law, a cornerstone of our exceptional way of life.
Protecting American Communities: Illegal immigration can lead to higher crime rates and put a strain on local communities. A secure border helps keep out criminals and reduces the burden on American communities, promoting a safer and more prosperous nation.
Protecting the American Way of Life: As a nation built on the principles of freedom and opportunity, unchecked illegal immigration undermines the values that make America great. By securing our border, we preserve our way of life and ensure that the United States remains a beacon of hope for all.
Join us for an in-depth discussion on this episode of the Code Red Podcast, as we dissect these critical aspects of border security and analyze their impact on our nation's well-being.

JUSTICE UNSERVED – A Mother’s Life After Radical Liberal Policies Freed Her Son’s Killers
January 20, 2023
“When you have career criminals who have been in and out of prison since they have been teenagers with a slap on the wrist...and their history shows that...no matter how many chances you give them, they're still going to come back and do the same thing, those are people that are menaces to society."
Madeline Brame
Madeline Brame is not letting radical politicians get away with their soft-on-crime policies.Enough is enough.
In a recent national survey, over 60% of Americans said that crime is getting worse. In the last elections in 2022, crime was a major issue across the country. The breakdown of the rule of law continues, people are assaulted on the streets and witness crimes committed in stores while they're shopping.
Madeline Brame is a powerful advocate for victims' rights and the mother of slain U.S. Army veteran Sgt. Hason Correa.
She continues to fight tirelessly against woke, soft-on-crime policies that put dangerous criminals like the ones who murdered her son back on the streets.
LISTEN NOW as Madeline discusses the pain that woke New York DA Alvin Bragg's radical liberal agenda has caused her, how she has turned her pain to empowerment and discusses her feelings about the 2022 midterm elections, including the campaign of Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin.

CRIME AND NO PUNISHMENT – The Story of Crime and Leniency Destroying New York City
December 28, 2022
“We are now telling judges that for hundreds of crimes, 'You have no discretion. You have to let the individual go.' And then everyone seems to wonder why we have a recidivism problem."
Tom Basile
New York City used to be one of the safest big cities in America. Now, it's a breeding ground for violent crime. What happened?
ON OCT. 18, 2018, Afghanistan War veteran Sgt. Hason Correa was brutally beaten, stabbed, and murdered on the streets of Harlem in a horrific attack caught on camera. James Saunders, who wielded the knife, had a long history of violent crime, as did his brother Christopher Saunders.
Their sister, Mary Saunders, held Correa's arms behind his back while James stabbed him. Despite being able to break free, the Saunders siblings chased Correa down and tripped him, then proceeded to kick and beat him while James Saunders continued to stab him.
Correa died at the scene from a fatal stab wound to the heart.
For three years, the case against the Saunders siblings and their friend Travis was strong and ready for trial, with multiple judges reportedly stating that, "Everyone's exposure was significant to the homicide." The Manhattan District Attorney's Office initially charged and indicted the four offenders for first-degree gang assault and second-degree murder. However, when Alvin Bragg took over the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, the charges against Mary Saunders and Travis were suddenly dismissed.
Mary's charges were reduced to "assault with a shoe," for which she served just one year.
"Mary Saunders got away with it. She got away with murder."
Madeline Brames, mother of Sgt. Hason Correa
Madeline Brames, mother of slain Afghanistan War veteran Sgt. Hason Correa, breaks down in the courtroom.
Madeline Brames, Correa's mother, has spoken out about her frustration and anger over the lack of justice in her son's case and the seeming anti-justice and anti-police stance of the Democrat-led administrations in NYC.
LISTEN to the entire Crime and No Punishment episode of The Code Red Podcast to hear more heartbreaking stories like Brames' and to learn what needs to be done to fix the issue of rampant crime in NYC.
"Sometimes I think that the moms where arrests weren't made in the murders of their children are better off than the moms where arrests were made because they are going to be dragged through a process that has no mercy on them like the people had no mercy on our children when they killed them."
— Madeline Brames

REMEMBERING WWII MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT Herschel “Woody” Williams with Congresswoman Carol Miller
July 15, 2022
“We bid farewell to Woody Williams as he embarks on his final journey. Woody will be sorely missed, but his legacy of service, dedication, and patriotism will live on through the countless lives he touched. God bless Woody Williams."
Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV)
Williams, the last WWII Medal of Honor recipient, was laid to rest in the Capitol Rotunda on Thursday, July 14.
Herschel "Woody" Williams was just 21 years old when he single handedly operated six flamethrowers against advancing Japanese forces for several hours. His bravery ultimately cleared a path for American troops to advance on Feb. 23, 1945– the day the Marines raised our American flag atop Mount Suribachi.
The U.S. Marine Corps veteran, who died last month at 98 as the last living WWII Medal of Honor recipient, he was laid to rest Thursday (July 14, 2022) in the U.S. Capitol. There, lawmakers saluted him with a tribute ceremony to honor the "greatest generation" American hero. One of those lawmakers was Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) and we are honored to have her on the Code Red Podcast to say a few words about her dear friend Woody.
"Woody Williams will lie in honor in the U.S. Capitol on Thursday. I can think of no better way to honor Woody’s life and legacy, as well as the memory of all World War II veterans, than allowing him this privilege."
Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV)
President Harry Truman awarded Williams with the Medal of Honor in 1945 for his "extraordinary heroism" during the Battle of Iwo Jima. However, his fight for America did not stop when he returned to civilian life.
Williams founded the Woody Williams Foundation, a nonprofit started to serve Gold Star families and served as a Veterans Service Representative for the Department of Veterans Affairs, helping veterans and their families for more than 33 years.
Williams is survived by his twin daughters, Travie and Tracie Ross, and five grandsons. It was Williams' desire that the American people would continue his mission of connecting with future generations of service members.
Listen as Rep. Carol Miller honors his legacy.
