Two Guys on Politics podcast on weakening fight on crime, increased benefits for non-citizens and Biden and Iran deal

Former Congressman Bill Lipinski and columnist Ray Hanania release Season 2 Episode 3 of their weekly podcast on American politics this week discussing the weakening fight against crime in America, the increasing benefits being given to non-citizens, and the negotiations talking place between President Biden and the terrorists state of Iran.

The three topics in detail are:

1 – Do American Citizens have the right to defend themselves in their homes and businesses when they are attacked by criminals … two store owners were attacked and beat a robber and the state considered filing charges against them, but decided not to.

2 – How far is America willing to go to give freedoms and citizenship-like benefits to illegal aliens without vetting those immigrants or forcing them to know our history, speak our language and make their new Americanism a higher priority than their ancestry.

Illinois law Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that an individual who is not a citizen but is legally authorized to work in the United States under federal law is authorized to apply for the position of police officer, subject to all requirements and limitations, other than citizenship, to which other applicants are subject. Effective January 1, 2024.

3 – Biden-Iran deal to releases $6 billion in funds (through a manager like Qatar) to Iran in exchange for releasing 6 Americans held hostage in Iran … is that a good deal?
