Border Patrol Agent Zachary Apotheker (@ZachApotheker), featured in "Line in the Sand," blew the whistle on child trafficking and border crimes, resulting in retaliation from Vermont Customs and Border Protection. His law enforcement authority was revoked, he received a cease and desist letter, and he was reassigned to administrative duties with a pay cut. CJF has stepped in to support him, providing a $100,000 check to cover legal fees and personal challenges as he continues to fight efforts to silence him.
Inspired by Apotheker, fellow Border Patrol Agent Aaron Veckey came forward to expose cartel control and human rights violations at the U.S.-Mexico border. Veckey described overcrowded and inhumane conditions for migrants and revealed the overwhelming pressures placed on agents to stay silent. Despite receiving a cease and desist letter, Veckey chose to risk his career and pension to bring these atrocities to light, prioritizing justice over personal security.
Kelsey Goodman, a @FEMA Hazard Mitigation Emergency Manager, exposed the agency’s prioritization of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives over disaster response. She highlighted FEMA’s inadequate presence following Hurricane Helene, leaving North Carolina residents stranded and frustrated. Goodman criticized vague definitions of disadvantaged communities, which she believes divert resources from FEMA’s core mission of assisting all Americans in need.

Tom Ellsworth and Patrick Bet-David reference OMG’s undercover footage of Pam Bondi, secretly recorded in a D.C. restaurant by an anonymous source, discussing “tens of thousands” of Epstein-related videos “all with little kids.” Bondi doubled down on her claims from the White House lawn, only to walk them back just days later... What changed?
No curiosity. No accountability.
“They don’t care about you… they want power.”
That should concern everyone.
Within minutes of reaching the U.S. border from South America, Anthony Rubin and his brother were surrounded by armed men, blindfolded, and taken deep into cartel territory.
“They tied us up… they just kept saying, ‘We’re going to see El Jefe,’” said Rubin.
They were interrogated, searched for wires, and forced to hand over all their electronics, except one hidden GoPro that miraculously survived.
The cartel smashed the equipment, destroyed footage, and said: “That’s the cost of your life.” Anthony and his brother walked away alive with a story few journalists live to tell.

According to an HHS spokesperson, “Even during a public health emergency, pharmaceutical companies are still required to follow strict protocols for clinical testing. For emergency use, companies must show that the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. Oversight doesn’t stop at approval — the FDA and other agencies also monitor products closely once they’re in use… HHS remains committed to full transparency and evidence-based oversight — putting the safety of the American people first.”
The company has still not responded to OMG's request for comment.
Anthony Rubin (founder of MUCKRAKER.com) joins us to discuss the reality of on-the-ground journalism, including his harrowing journey of being kidnapped by the Mexican cartel while exposing the truth on the ground.
