    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    Jack Brangan and Constance Ditzel explore New Jersey's War on Children, which lays bare a devastating betrayal: while radical ideologues in Trenton push secretive school gender transitions, chemical and surgical mutilation of minors, and the systematic erosion of parental rights, sanctuary state policies have opened our doors to predators who are raping and murdering innocent children. Heartbreaking cases of children lost to illegal immigrant crime enabled by reckless "sanctuary" protections, ou
