Chris Backemeyer, a former State Department diplomat and candidate for Congress in Nebraska’s 1st District, joins the show to discuss the recent killing of VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti during an ICE operation in Minneapolis and what Congress should do in response. Backemeyer outlines his concerns about executive overreach, the role of congressional oversight, and how U.S. foreign policy decisions are affecting trust abroad and families here in Nebraska.
