Blanche Meets With Epstein Accusers & America’s Asylum System

Guest Host: John Gerardi    AP reports that Todd Blanche’s path to becoming attorney general depends in part on addressing concerns from Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers. Sen. Thom Tillis made direct engagement with victims a condition for his support, leading Blanche to meet with survivors. While Blanche argued the Justice Department remains committed to pursuing evidence and seeking justice, several survivors left the meeting dissatisfied and continued urging senators to oppose his confirmation.   Dan McLaughlin's National Review essay argues that the U.S. asylum system no longer functions as intended. He contends that outdated laws and overwhelming case volumes have weakened the distinction between humanitarian protection and broader immigration policy. The article calls for reforms that would preserve asylum for genuine refugees while making the system more consistent with U.S. national interests and border-enforcement goals.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms:   ---      Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.    --  Philip Teresi on KMJ  Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ    | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon |   -  Everything KMJ   KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
