Tuesday: Trump's Plan to Kill Flights at Sanctuary City Airports

The Rush Lindell Show

Wednesday, June 3 — DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin went on national television and threatened to pull customs officers from JFK, LAX, and O'Hare, which would effectively shut down international travel at America's busiest airports. Rush and Reagan break down what triggered it: a Memorial Day standoff at Newark's Delaney Hall detention facility where local police never showed up. They build the conservative case for the threat, then dismantle it — starting with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy publicly breaking with Mullin at a Congressional hearing. They run the numbers on why the rerouting logic doesn't survive contact with reality, covering 70 million annual passengers and the red-state connecting hubs that take the same hit as blue-city gateways. They get into the World Cup timing disaster, with hotel bookings already running nearly 80% below forecasts weeks before MetLife hosts the final. And they close on the legal and political picture: CNN sources calling this Mullin's personal obsession, courts that already blocked this same theory in 2017, and a White House that won't touch it. Is this leverage theater or a genuinely dangerous idea? Weigh in — and tell us whether Duffy or Mullin has the better argument. 📣 We Want to Hear from You! - 📝 Submit a question Links Claim my Silver Offer https://go.heymato.com/rushlindell
