    There's Nothing Happy About Memorial Day | Allen West Honors Those Who Gave the Last Full Measure

    "There's nothing happy about this day." That's what Lt. Col. Allen West tells the people who wish him a Happy Memorial Day. Because Memorial Day isn't a kickoff to summer. It's not about pools, hot dogs, or NBA playoffs. It's about the men and women who never came home. In this episode of Live Free TV, Colonel West cuts through the commercialization and brings you back to what this weekend actually means. He walks you onto the hallowed ground of Lexington Green, April 19, 1775, where 77 Sons of Liberty faced down a British regiment of nearly 1,000. He reads the names of the first eight Americans who fell there, men with wives, children under five, brothers fighting beside them, and tells their stories one by one. He takes you inside Fort McHenry as the British bombarded Baltimore Harbor, where soldiers gave their lives so Francis Scott Key could write the words that became our national anthem. He honors his own father, Cpl. Herman West Sr., and his father-in-law, Master Sgt. Ronald Keith Graham, two combat tours in Vietnam. And he closes with Lincoln. Two minutes. Ten sentences. 272 words at Gettysburg that say everything Memorial Day was ever meant to say. This is a call to remember. Take your kids to a national cemetery this weekend. Walk the gardens of stone. Read the names on those simple marble headstones. Tell your children, your grandchildren, your nieces and nephews who made the steak on the grill and the freedom in the air possible. Because somewhere in America this weekend, there's an empty chair that will never be filled.

    Sheriffs Fight Back: How Blue States Are Blocking Law Enforcement from Protecting You

    Lieutenant Colonel Allen West sits down with Sheriff Michael Brockett of Curry County, New Mexico, and Sheriff Jason Mikesell of Teller County, Colorado, to discuss the growing conflict between state governments and local law enforcement over immigration enforcement. Sheriff Brockett describes how New Mexico's Attorney General put sheriffs on notice not to participate in the 287(g) program, even as bail reform sends offenders back onto the streets before paperwork is processed. Sheriff Mikesell details an eight-year battle with the ACLU and Colorado's progressive legislature, including a state-created fund that uses fines against officers to finance further lawsuits against law enforcement. The conversation covers how Colorado went from one of the lowest crime rates to one of the highest, the explosion of cartel activity after states blocked cooperation with ICE, and the constitutional implications when states refuse to follow federal law while demanding counties follow state law.

    Maryland Sheriffs Fight Back: The Law They Don't Want You to Know About

    Two veteran Maryland sheriffs with a combined 75+ years of law enforcement experience join Lt. Col. Allen West on Live Free TV to expose what's really happening in Annapolis — and why it matters for every county in America. Sheriff Scott Adams (Cecil County) and Sheriff Mike Lewis (Wicomico County) break down Maryland's Senate Bill 245 and the newly dropped Senate Bill 791 — legislation designed to dismantle the 287G program, cut off cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE, and even give illegal aliens the right to civilly sue sheriffs and detention staff. Before they even testified, lawmakers told them: "This bill is gonna pass. We want you to know that." They testified anyway. And they're not done fighting. In this episode, you'll learn: 🔹 What the 287G program actually does (and the 3 models most people don't know about) 🔹 How SB 245 and SB 791 will force ICE out of jails and into your neighborhoods 🔹 The real-world consequences — including the murder of 19-year-old Dakar Thompson 🔹 Why Maryland's attorney general is warning sheriffs about "consequences" for cooperating with federal law enforcement 🔹 What these sheriffs plan to do next — regardless of what the legislature says "What's in your backyard today will be in your front yard tomorrow." — Sheriff Mike Lewis 📌 TAKE ACTION: Contact your local and state legislators. Find out if your county has a 287G agreement. If it doesn't, ask why. If it does, fight to protect it. 🔗 Learn more about the ACRU and the Defender Initiative: https://www.theacru.org — Live Free TV is a production of the American Constitutional Rights Union (ACRU) and the ACRU Action Fund, hosted by Lt.
