Briefing with The Chief

After Trump was elected in, 2016, we saw what appeared to be organic protests against his administration. These protests picked up steam during his Presidency and the veneer of these protest being grassroots began to peel away. Many of these anti Trump protests also embrace an anti-police narrative. Violence at these protests escalated and police, the most visible presence of the Executive Branch of Government, became the target for the violence. This was a betrayal of Law Enforcement and of the voters.

Most of this violence by leftist protestors went unreported, was minimized or in some cases justified by...

In March 2025 the Harris County Texas Sheriff’s Department experienced four current and former staff members commit suicide. In 2022 the United States experienced 184 police suicides in 2022. The US has seen a dramatic increase in police suicides since 2016 when 152 Officers took their lives. This coincided with the anti-police narrative from the political left, decreasing staffing for police, lower pay and the “Reimagining” of a functional Criminal Justice system.
On today’s show I will discuss the issue of police suicide with Retired Sergeant and Author, of the book Bro:ken, Danny Coon. His book addresses the casual factors for Police Suicides

The Death of DEI?

Recently our elite Universities have begun to dismantle Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs in response to an Executive Order signed by President Trump. Universities risked a loss of Federal funds and worse, investigations by the Federal Government for discrimination resulting from DEI Programs. DEI programs are the latest iteration of Affirmative Action which had recently been outlawed by the Supreme Court of the United States. Today’s show will address affirmative action vs DEI and Equality vs Equity!

Since Trump’s victory in the 2024 Presidential election, Elon Musk who contributed to Trump’s victory, has had a prominent role in the Administration. Musk has led the Department of Government Efficiency. Musk’s assistance of Trump during the campaign and in his Administration has led to unprecedented attacks on Musk and his business interests. Some of these incidents are legitimate forms of protests, yet others are clear Domestic Terrorism. On today’s show the Chief will address this unfolding story.

On Briefing with the Chief and other KGRAdb.com Law Enforcement themed show, we have discussed how the "War on Cops" and "Reimagining Criminal Justice" have actually hurt the very communities suffering under the myth of "racist policing". The missteps by Progressive policymakers have backfired, causing death and destruction in their wake. Criminal Justice reforms have led to increased violent crime and drug overdose deaths. One subject yet to be discussed is the increase of deaths and serious injuries due to traffic accidents. On today’s episode of Briefing with the Chief, the Chief will attempt to draw a correlation betw...

A recent effort in the Illinois State Legislature essentially called for decriminalizing assaults on Police Officers by mentally ill assailants. However, if those very same assailants assaulted Fire Fighters or other Healthcare workers, they could be criminally charged! We will be joined by Florian Sohnke of the Chicago Contrarian to explore this and other social ills in Chicago and the State of Illinois.

The left has been aggressively targeting Conservatives (MAGA) over the last 10 years with little or no consequences. Domestic terrorism, as defined by the federal government, involves ideologically driven crimes committed within the United States, intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population or influence government policy. The latest efforts by unknown leftists, is to swat Conservative political leaders and media personalities. I will be joined by Walter Curt, the Editor and Chief of the WC Dispatch, who has been the victim of swatting and has written an article in response.

Roman Gaskey returns to Briefing with the Chief to discuss his Sub Stack article On Common Decency. We will discuss the intractable issue of Homelessness in the largest cities of the United States. Addiction drugs, alcohol, a mental health crisis and bad public policies have contributed to the explosion in homelessness. We will explore these issue and discuss possible steps forward.
