Ben Bergquam talks with Eric Bolling. 3/28/25
RAV’s Ben Bergquam, host of “Law and Border” discussed with RAV’s Eric Bolling, NGOs and leftist judges that are hindering President Trump’s immigration policies and deportations.
“The biggest problem we have right now are two things, we have NGOs that are training illegals on how to break the law and how to stay in this country illegally and we have judges that are fighting our own ICE and our own immigration policies to get rid of these illegals,” Bergquam said.
Bergquam also explained that on the Mexico side of the border is the chaos of the cartels with their wars on routes and territories.
“On the south side of the border, you’ve got cartels that are fighting over territory, fighting over drug routes because that gravy train that Joe Biden gave them is being sucked up, and with scarcity comes fights,” Bergquam said.
“The drug routes are well established. You’ve got major routes through the ports of entry. That’s where still a majority of drugs come through, but you also have tunnel networks under cities like Juarez into El Paso. By the way which those tunnels were dug by Hamas and Hezbollah that came over and taught the Sineloa Cartel how to do that,” Bergquam said.
Bolling and Bergquam also discussed judicial activism that is hindering deportations of dangerous gang members.
“This whole idea of this judge Boasberg stopping Trump’s deportation of Tren de Aragua thugs, criminals. How is that playing out on the border with the men and women of law enforcement on the border. Is it demoralizing?” Bolling asked.
“They are just disgusted. These people, they look at this guy like he is a traitor. He is a traitor to our country. He is aiding and abetting cartels and terrorist organizations and criminals,” Bergquam said.
“Until we actually impeach these guys, until we get rid of these guys, until we have some consequences for actions like this judge, and multiple others across our country, then we are gonna be in trouble,” Bergquam continued.
“It’s national suicide what Joe Biden and Kamala did over the last four years, but if we don’t get rid of the pillars, the establishment parts of the foundation of this nation that are working to undermine this country from within, the deep state, the judges, all these guys, we are still screwed,” Bergquam said.
“That to me has to be job number one, go after the NGOs, go after the judges, allow law enforcement to do their job,” Bergquam continued.
Watch:
“WE HAVE NGOS THAT ARE TRAINING ILLEGALS ON HOW TO BREAK THE LAW AND HOW TO STAY IN THIS COUNTRY ILLEGALLY AND WE HAVE JUDGES THAT ARE FIGHTING OUR IMMIGRATION POLICY AND ALLOWING THESE ILLEGALS TO STAY.” – @BenBergquam updates @ericbolling

When it comes to elections, the US should do it like the Italians.
Italy is known for some of the world’s greatest art, food, and people. It is therefore no surprise that their elections are a role model for the world.
As the US looks at ways to revamp its elections, Italian elections can serve as a starting point.
Italian Guya Mariani shares that Italian elections are simple and secure.

The election process in Italy is very simple and secure. Votes are cast at local schools and there are usually very short lines. Guya Mariani discusses how simple it is to then vote in Italy. pic.twitter.com/pFJIlxoXIl

Mariani shared the following description of the Italian voting process:
In Italy, national elections involve a straightforward process for citizens voting at polling stations.
Italians must bring their “tessera elettorale,” a voter card issued by their municipality, along with a valid ID to their designated polling station, typically a local school closed for the occasion. Voting usually spans two days—Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday—to accommodate schedules. At the polling station, voters enter a classroom where booths are set up for privacy.
Before voting, poll workers verify the voter’s identity, record their participation by marking the tessera elettorale and a ledger by hand, and retain the ID temporarily. Voters then use a special indelible pencil to mark their choice on a pre-printed, watermarked “scheda elettorale” (ballot paper), fold it to conceal the vote, and deposit it into a centrally placed cardboard ballot box visible to all.
The voting process is designed for transparency and security. After marking their ballot in the booth, voters exit and place the folded ballot into the box themselves, ensuring no interference.
Once voting concludes (typically Sunday at 11 p.m.), the poll workers—comprising a president, a secretary, and scrutineers, often with party representatives present as witnesses—begin counting the votes immediately in the same classroom.
The ballot box is opened publicly, and each ballot is unfolded, inspected, and tallied by hand. This open process allows witnesses, including candidate or party representatives, to observe and ensure accuracy, with invalid votes (e.g., those with extra markings) set aside after scrutiny.
After the count, the results are meticulously recorded and communicated to the central national registry. The polling station president compiles an official summary of the vote totals, signed by the poll workers and stamped with the station’s unique seal. One copy of this summary, along with all ballots (valid, invalid, and unused), is sent to the local courthouse for safekeeping and potential recounts, while another is delivered to the municipal electoral office. From there, the municipality aggregates the data from all its polling stations and transmits it to the Ministry of the Interior’s Central Directorate for Electoral Services, which oversees the national tally.
(When the vote totals are announced to the public, they also include the number of “white ballots”—those left blank—which are considered a form of protest vote).
This hierarchical reporting ensures that results are verified at multiple levels before being finalized and announced, maintaining a transparent chain of custody from the classroom to the national level.
Mariani goes on to share that in Europe the way they cheat is after the election when groups that win an election are prevented from leading the country because the losing parties join forces to keep the most popular party from power.
Also, Mariani makes a point to share that in Italy the local elections abide by federal laws. There are some allowances for how elections are performed locally, but because elections affect the country as a whole, elections must comply with federal laws. (In the US federal laws like the HAVA Act are virtually ignored in some circumstances.)
(In 2022 nearly 30 million Italians voted in that election. By comparison, 16 million votes were counted in the 2024 election in California.)

Planned Parenthood coloring book distributed to young children at the Kentucky Science Center
Planned Parenthood is once again under fire after handing out coloring books with pages containing breasts, a female uterus, and male genitals to children, lying about the incident, then claiming it was a mistake.
The March 21 controversy at the Kentucky Science Center involved a group of over 400 eight to 13-year-old children from local middle and elementary schools.
The center said in a social media post Wednesday,
We sincerely apologize for the distribution of a Planned Parenthood coloring book at our recent Health & Wellness Days event. Planned Parenthood provided this material without our consent and it does not reflect our policies or the intended content for the event.
We deeply regret the harm this caused. We are taking immediate steps to ensure that all materials distributed at our events are thoroughly reviewed in advance and this partner is no longer welcome at the Science Center.
However, according to WDRB, “Planned Parenthood disputes the coloring book was distributed at all, calling the claims ‘false’ and ‘part of a coordinated attempt to stir outrage and manufacture controversy.’”
Per WDRB:
Jennifer Allen, director of external affairs officer for the Planned Parenthood region that covers Kentucky and Indiana, contradicted the science center Wednesday. In a written statement, Allen said Planned Parenthood was invited to be a “community partner” at the science center’s Health & Wellness Days “to share information rooted in science, public health, and education.”
“We want to be clear: the coloring book currently being circulated online was not distributed at the event,” Allen said in a written statement. “Claims suggesting otherwise are false and appear to be part of a coordinated attempt to stir outrage and manufacture controversy. We remain committed to showing up for Kentucky youth and families with the information they need to lead safe and healthy lives.”
Heather Terry, of Elizabethtown, said her 9-year old daughter came home from a school field trip with the book.
“I don’t care where the content came from,” Terry said. “I didn’t even know if it came from Planned Parenthood. I just know she’d gotten it at the science center and it said Planned Parenthood on it. My concern was the material itself and the content inside for my child personally. I feel like that’s something I should have control over — when she sees and how she gets that information, not just given out freely because she walked up and someone says ‘Here do you want a coloring book?’”
Additionally, the science center had reportedly sent an advanced email to Planned Parenthood and other event partners, asking them to “please let us know what you are planning to bring to the event.” But Planned Parenthood was reportedly over an hour late to the event, making it difficult for the science center’s staff to vet their materials properly. What a coincidence!
In an update on Friday, the science center added a statement from Planned Parenthood, where they walked back the lie. “We have learned that a staff member inadvertently distributed an item that wouldn’t typically be used in a setting like this event…we apologize for this error and are reviewing our internal protocols,” the abortion group said:
We appreciate the dialogue in this comment section and want to give an update on this situation.
Our mission is, and always has been, to inspire a love of science through education and we regret that the adult-oriented coloring book was distributed and are taking ownership of this issue by reinforcing our processes to prevent it from happening again.
We also appreciate Planned Parenthood acknowledging this mistake, and helping clarify the situation by stating: “We have learned that a staff member inadvertently distributed an item that wouldn’t typically be used in a setting like this event…we apologize for this error and are reviewing our internal protocols.”
We understand that many people feel strongly about this, and we respect all perspectives. Our focus remains on providing a welcoming space for science education. We hope to see you at the Science Center in the future as we continue to serve our community.
For more information, this article provides a full account of what transpired, and similar articles have been posted by WAVE, the Courier-Journal, WLKY, and WHAS.

Lumberton Township Mayor Gina LaPlaca was arrested for driving under the influence — while her toddler was in the back seat.
The March 17 incident was caught on police bodycam and paints a disturbing picture of recklessness, denial, and dangerous entitlement.
The video shows the mayor stumbling through a field sobriety test outside her suburban home, slurring her words, and initially lying to officers when asked if she had been drinking, Fox News reported.
“No, I’m good,” LaPlaca told the officer—just moments before admitting she had, in fact, consumed alcohol.
Police tracked LaPlaca down after a concerned citizen witnessed her erratic driving, capturing video of her swerving dangerously through the streets in a blue BMW with her young son in the backseat.
By the time officers caught up to her, the side of the vehicle was visibly damaged, with a mangled passenger-side mirror—damage LaPlaca claimed she didn’t even remember causing. Inside the car, officers discovered an open water bottle filled with alcohol.
The disgrace didn’t stop there. Additional footage released by Fox News shows a sobbing LaPlaca inside a holding cell, agreeing to a breathalyzer test while simultaneously demanding that officers contact the township’s police chief.
Among the charges LaPlaca now faces:
Endangering the welfare of a child
Driving while intoxicated
Reckless driving
Careless driving likely to endanger
Driving with an expired license
Open container of alcohol in a vehicle
In another damning clip, LaPlaca was seen lying on a police station bench, begging, “Can I please go home and see my son?” She was instead escorted to an ambulance and transported to a hospital.
Her husband, Jason Carty, released a Facebook statement the next day, attempting to deflect criticism by citing addiction.
“Millions of Americans struggle with addiction and never get help. Gina LaPlaca is someone who has struggled, and is now getting the help she needs. I ask that everyone keep her in their thoughts as she moves forward on her road to recovery. Please ignore the exaggerated political hyperbole and keep in mind her passion for helping others. This should not erase all the things she has accomplished for our community.
“Gina is a loving and caring mother and step mom to our son and her step son. Our oldest is a teenager and can see the unkind things being said online. I ask simply that you respect our privacy, be better humans and please show some compassion, thank you.”

A proposed ballot initiative named the “Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act” has been submitted to the California Attorney General’s Office in honor of the accused murderer.
Mangione, 26, has become somewhat of a folk hero as he is accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024.
The proposal would amend the state’s Health and Safety Code to curb insurers’ ability to deny or delay medical treatments recommended by physicians.
KTLA reports:
The initiative would make it illegal for an insurance company to “delay, deny or modify any medical procedure or medication” suggested by a licensed physician in the Golden State, which could have serious consequences such as “disability, death, amputation, permanent disfigurement, loss or reduction of any bodily function,” the document stated.
If the initiative is enacted, any decision by an insurer to delay, deny or modify can only be made by a physician on behalf of any insurer. The initiative would also make it a felony to employ someone who is not a physician to review a decision made by a physician.
Should insurance companies delay, they would have to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the medication or procedure was unnecessary or would not result in disability, death, amputation, permanent disfigurement or the loss or reduction of any bodily function.
Public comments about the measure will be open through April 25.
Authorities allege that Mangione meticulously planned the attack and killed Thompson in cold blood, driven by frustration with the U.S. healthcare system.
A handwritten letter found on Mangione at the time of his arrest labeled insurance companies “parasitic” and decried corporate greed, sentiments echoed by bullet casings at the crime scene inscribed with “DENY,” “DEPOSE,” and “DELAY”—terms often linked to insurance claim denials.
Mangione is facing federal and state charges, including murder as an act of terrorism, and could face the death penalty if convicted on the most serious charges.

Zelensky heading for a clash with Trump.
It seems that Ukrainian Leader Volodymyr Zelensky has decided on a path that’ll send him clashing with US President Donald J. Trump and his administration.
Besides repeatedly breaching the Trump-brokered partial ceasefire on energy and infrastructure, Zelensky has now made a TV statement that contains at least two very controversial points.
First, he again stated that the hundreds of billions of dollars in US aid to the Kiev regime were NOT ‘loans’, but rather, donations – despite the fact that nothing was ever registered as such.
Secondly, he alerted that Ukraine will NOT sign the reworked rare-earth/mineral exploration deal, although his aides had assured US officials that the deal was ready to be signed.
Watch: Zelensky confronts the US, says NO DEAL and NO DEBT.
IMPORTANT: Zelensky confronts the US and says NO DEAL!
He says:
– Ukraine will not acknowledge the past debt!
– US can not sent any conditions on Ukraine, unless they send new aid!
– Zelensky is not ready to sign the new agreement!
Zelensky: “This administration will… pic.twitter.com/duIl3m0UGT
— Lord Bebo (@MyLordBebo) March 28, 2025
Zelensky also complained that the US would no longer provide free aid to Ukraine: ‘This administration will not do anything for free for us!’
Washington Post reported (via Sputnik):
“The new US [mineral rights] proposal radically changes the conditions sent by Kiev to Trump and does not provide any security guarantees.
[…] The document treats all U.S. support to Ukraine since the conflict began as a debt that must be repaid with interest on revenues earned under the agreement. It gives the U.S. ‘first come, first served’ rights to all energy and mineral investments, effectively putting the U.S. in control.
A senior Ukrainian official said the project raises serious concerns because it reclassifies previous U.S. grants as loans that must be repaid and requires Washington to take ‘50 per cent of all new and existing revenue without making any contribution of its own’.”
Zelensky feels enboldened by Atarmer’s and Macron’s escalation.
On top of it all, Zelensky said that he reached agreements with ‘certain European countries’ for the sharing of intelligence data and to ramp up weapons manufacturing.
Zelensky says he reached agreements with certain European countries for intelligence data and weapons manufacturing!
Looks like zelensky plans to abandon the US and fully rely on Europe, since Europe gives everything for free and does not demand the money back. https://t.co/qucjcSTOia pic.twitter.com/DUPW9u5sHg

The White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) has decided to cancel the traditional performance by a comedian at this year’s annual fundraising dinner.
For decades, comedians have spoken at the dinner to roast politicians, journalists, administration officials, and anyone else in attendance.
However, on Friday, WHCA President Eugene Daniels emailed members to announce a unanimous board decision to cancel comedian Amber Ruffin’s performance, expressing a desire to refocus the event on journalism instead of political satire.
“At this consequential moment for journalism, I want to ensure the focus is not on the politics of division but entirely on awarding our colleagues for their outstanding work and providing scholarship and mentorship to the next generation of journalists,” Daniels said, according to a report from The Hill.
“For the past couple of weeks, I have been planning a re-envisioning of our dinner tradition for this year,” Daniels continued. “As the date nears, I will share more details of the plans in place to honor journalistic excellence and a robust, independent media covering the most powerful office in the world.”
Ruffin, who works on NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” was announced as the featured comedian in February. However, she is a bitter critic of Trump, and the choice reportedly ruffled some feathers in the White House, which already has a strained relationship with the WHCA.
Prior to Trump, presidents traditionally attended the dinner as a show of goodwill between themselves and the establishment media.
Shortly after it was announced that she would be participating, Ruffin appeared on CNN and said that she hoped President Donald Trump did not attend the dinner.
Recent comedians to host the event include Michelle Wolf, Seth Meyers, and Stephen Colbert.
It is unclear if Trump will be attending this year’s dinner. He did not attend the dinners in 2017, 2018, or 2019 during his first term.

Nearly 5,000 voter registrations in the city of Milwaukee have been legally challenged for irregularities, potential fraud, and blatant violations of state and federal law.
The comprehensive legal filing, submitted by concerned citizens Justin Gavery and Joe Nolan, exposes what many conservatives have warned about for years: a broken election system ripe for abuse.
The challenge, backed by the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and a long list of Wisconsin statutes, calls on the Milwaukee Election Commission (MEC) to investigate and take immediate action on 4,878 questionable voter records.
According to the document obtained by Just the News, all of these individuals cast ballots in the November 5th, 2025 national election.
The report relies on data from the USPS’s CASS® (Coding Accuracy Support System) and National Change of Address (NCOA) databases—tools that objectively verify the accuracy of mailing addresses.
According to the letter sent to Executive Director of Milwaukee Elections Paulina Gutierrez:
On February 20, 2025 a new statewide voter registration list was purchased from WEC’s Badger Voter website. We ran it through our TITAN system which compares it against the US Postal Services main database and also its National Change of Address database. We found many issues, irregularities and also voter fraud.
Each name and address were submitted through the USPS CASS® (Coding Accuracy Support System) evaluation system.
The USPS CASS® evaluation is run against several progressively deeper-leveled databases, such as: state, city, zipcode-S-digit, a check on those 3 columns together, then a check against the street name with in them, then a street number range check, then a check against the actual street number in the “Zip_4” database, and then a check on apt_unit at that specific building, then a check if that address is unoccupied, and then other specialty checks. It returns many columns, each with detailed codes describing one or more problems with each address on this list.
More on CASS: (Coding Accuracy Support System) Certification is a program that was developed by the USPS to test the accuracy of address-matching software and improve the accuracy of postal coding, such as ZIP+4 Code®, carrier route and 5-digit ZIP Code coding.
https://postalpro.usps.com › CASS › CASSTECH_N The bottom line is that the USPS has declared that all of the items in this report cannot be mailed without mailing address correction(s).
The findings are nothing short of alarming:
2,926 registrations listed incorrect or missing apartment numbers, a violation of legal address requirements and a break in chain of custody.
540 voters were flagged as “N” or Blank, indicating they no longer reside at the address on record.
501 voters listed P.O. Boxes as physical addresses, a direct violation of Wisconsin voter law.
377 had filed permanent change-of-address requests out of state, yet still managed to vote in Wisconsin.
281 moved to a different county within Wisconsin before the legal voting cutoff date—again, still allowed to vote.
217 left no forwarding address before October 24, 2024.
24 were registered at commercial mail-handling locations like UPS or FedEx stores.
11 were shockingly registered to USPS post office buildings themselves.
When Gavery inquired whether the commission would investigate potential voter fraud, he received a brisk response: “Meeting adjourned.”
Earlier this month, The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a Wisconsin election clerk has come forward with a chilling warning about major vulnerabilities in the state’s absentee ballot system, raising urgent concerns about election integrity just weeks before a crucial Supreme Court election.
Fearing retaliation and job loss, the clerk remains anonymous but reached out to The Gateway Pundit in a desperate plea to expose a serious threat to election security.
According to this whistleblower, a primary election glitch involving the state’s electronic voter registration system, Badger Books, could serve as a preview of potential fraud in the upcoming election.
The clerk, who has been working elections for years, insists that irregularities have been occurring since at least 2018. With the April election just around the corner, the clerk believes the issue is more critical than ever.
According to Scott Pressler, George Soros is attempting to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court to enable liberals to gerrymander the state’s congressional maps—a move that could help Democrats take control of the House in 2026.
President Donald Trump has just thrown his full weight behind Brad Schimel in the critical race for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and it’s a call to arms for every patriot in the Badger State.
