Trump’s $170 BILLION Border Bill — Chris Clem Warns of Imminent Collapse | Mike Drop 248
In this explosive episode of the Mike Drop Podcast, former Chief Patrol Agent Chris Clem pulls no punches as he dissects the sweeping "One Big Beautiful Bill", a $170 billion border security package signed by President Trump on July 4, 2025.
From Trump’s campaign rally cries and hats to finalizing the funding of $46 billion for the wall, $6 billion for border technology, $4 billion for CBP agents, and billions more — Clem lays out why this isn’t just a slogan anymore. It’s a full-scale national security strategy aimed at repairing what he says was gutted by the Biden administration on day one.
But be warned: funding ≠ fix. Chris unpacks the massive challenges ahead — building miles of border barriers, roads, and sensor networks; hiring thousands of agents; and confronting migrant surges of 15,000+ at a time — and why even this bill might be too little, too late.
If you want the unfiltered truth from inside Border Patrol, the political games behind the bill, and why America’s next border crisis could lead to total collapse, you can’t miss this episode.
