Tonight, on this explosive, educational, investigative episode of Light ‘Em Up we will explore in-depth the issues of:

— The treatment of migrants & refugees

— Criminal Immigration

— How the radical right-wing politicized and took advantage of the death of Laken Riley when in reality they really didn’t give a single, solitary care about her — taking advantage of and using her death as a political football.

With this, our 95th episode, we are now heard in 122 countries around the globe.

Again, we challenge you to listen and think critically to this episode.

With the recent passing of Pope Francis, at the age of 88, on Monday April 21st -- the day after the Christian world celebrates Easter — we wanted to examine in-depth the “theory” of those people who claim to be “Christian” yet use race, color and country of origin as a sledge-hammer for fascism.

Whether they claim to be:

— Christian Nationalists

— Christian Fascists

— Christian Conservatives

— Evangelicals

You name it … people who claim to be “doing the work of Jesus Christ” while steadily:

— Denigrating

— Persecuting and prosecuting migrants … the foreign born

— LGBTQ individuals and

— People of color.

“Othering” pretty much everyone who isn’t them.

April 30th marked 100 days of Donald Trump’s second term — over the past three months, the president has issued more than 100 executive orders that aim to bypass Congress and change policy through unilateral action. His administration has:

— Imposed sweeping tariffs on virtually every country in the world

— Withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization

— Declared a national emergency at the southern border

— It has purported to rewrite election rules and end birthright citizenship.

— It is attacking major law firms and universities and much, much more.

But we ask, has this flurry of orders affected fundamental change?

To date, there have already been 46 challenges to executive orders pending in court, and the administration has had no outright victory in any of them. Judges appointed by presidents of both parties have put the brakes on Trump’s fascist plans for change.

Will the courts continue to thwart his lawless agenda?

This is a pivotal moment in the history of this country that will affect it for all time going forward — as the Trump administration strives to keep the politics of fear and panic alive.

Without fear or favor we follow the facts and tackle the topics that touch your lives.

We want to hear from you!

Tonight, on this explosive, educational, investigative episode of Light ‘Em Up.

We debut in 121 countries around the globe! Is that sick, or what?

Tonight, we challenge you to listen and think critically as we examine in-depth the Venezuelan transnational criminal organization called: Tren de Aragua.

Its origins can be traced to its foundation in 2014 inside Tocorón Prison, Aragua state, Venezuela. It has expanded exponentially: Spread across Colombia, Peru, Chile, and the US, exploiting Venezuelan migrants.

The gang’s growth has made it a transnational criminal organization.

A transnational criminal organization or (TCO) is a group of individuals who operate across national borders (not just in one country) to achieve gains in power, influence, or money through illegal means, often engaging in activities like:

— drug trafficking

— human trafficking (including smuggling of migrants)

— arms trafficking

— money laundering

— counterfeiting

— trafficking in firearms, counterfeit goods, wildlife and cultural property and sex and cybercrimes.

Suddenly we’re hearing this gang’s name blaring over the airwaves of MAGA-favoring “news” outlets like NewsMax or what I call the Fox “Entertainment News” Network … and among:

— Christian fascists,

— Christian nationalists,

— Members of the radical right,

— Trump Republicans who stand in front of the camera regurgitating GOP party talking points,

— White supremacists and xenophobes.

Among these select groups of people they know very few words in the Spanish language … and they don’t wish to learn any of the language or learn about its culture because they think people who speak Spanish certainly aren’t of the (Aryan) “master race”.

The Oath Keepers, Proud Boys and the 3 Percenters … and people of this ilk wouldn’t even see these people as human beings — because of their brown skin.

Tonight, unlike what one is likely ever to hear on one of those networks, without fear or favor we’ll deliver to you the truth about: Tren de Aragua.

— We’ll examine the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 …

— And we’ll relate how civil rights, civil liberties and hard-fought protections are being destroyed … under the guise of Making America Great Again!

Do you value your civil rights? Do you think civil rights ONLY pertain to people of color?

If yes, you are dead wrong. If one individual’s civil rights are being oppressed — then every person’s rights are being oppressed and diminished. This happened after 9/11 and it is happening again, today!

To know the present, you must be aware of the past.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" is a famous aphorism attributed to the philosopher George Santayana, emphasizing the importance of learning from history in order to avoid repeating mistakes.

You’d never hear the truth about Venezuela, its past, or its present. Venezuela is a country that is in crisis. Its people are affected directly by the widespread political and civil unrest that has plagued their nation.

Their people need help. The situation has become a humanitarian crisis.

The current U.S. administration has willfully turned a blind eye to the plight of the Venezuelans. U.S. homeland security advisor and White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller and his cronies are good at overlooking the suffering of others — yet claiming to be pious.

Welcome to this explosive and investigatory episode of Light ‘Em Up.

Our global audience has reached 119 countries. Spread the word!

This is the story of the tragic death of an “All-American Girl” and the sloppy investigation that ensued.

Out of Aubrey, Texas, we shine the antiseptic light of the truth to investigate the death of Haley Cheney, a 24-year-old, new mother who was found sitting in her car in the driveway of her boyfriend’s home early on December 3, 2023 — with a bullet in the right temple of her head.

We’re honored to sit and talk with (Mrs.) Jackie Stewart Alvarado, Haley’s aunt.

According to Jackie, “Haley had the biggest, bluest eyes and she gave THE ABSOLUTE BEST hugs. She always greeted everyone with the words, “hello beautiful”. She never met a stranger, and she absolutely loved, loved, loved animals. Haley loved life. She was filled with hope, promise and potential. She loved fully and completely her family and those around her. She was one of the most selfless individuals.”

Haley was thrilled to be a new mother — she adored her baby boy. Her life had barely just begun. Haley had to work very hard in order to maintain the peace and to encourage a positive perspective in the relationship with her boyfriend.

She wanted to be loved by her boyfriend, yet time and again, she was confronted with threats of physical violence by him. We'll showcase just one of many verbal threats made by Kristopher Winston, as was posted on Facebook (according to members of Haley’s family).

The City of Little Elm Police Department caught this case. That may have been one of the most detrimental and injurious factors in the case.

Police departments are entrusted with a diverse set of tasks requiring a high degree of integrity within their agencies. Without that integrity, bad things happen, and people and cases suffer.

Determining the correct cause and manner of death are among the chief responsibilities of the forensic pathologist, not a street cop or even a Detective Sgt. When confronted with a case having a questionable manner of death, it is important for scene evidence, witness statements, and forensic autopsy findings to be thoroughly reviewed before certifying the manner of death.

We examine the factors that hurt a thorough investigation and led to a rush to judgement that this case was a suicide. Haley’s family vehemently disagrees with this finding.

There’s nothing common about murder nor a suicide. Each case has its unique aspects and signatures. Every case, victim and member of the surviving family deserves to have their loved one’s case investigated to its fullest extent.

The investigative process involves both science and art. For an investigation to be effective it must follow a few basic principles. Following the acronym “T-A-R-O-T” (just like the card) ...

The incident must be investigated in a: Timely, Accurate, Relevant, Objective & Thorough manner. We'll break down each aspect of a proper investigation and discuss the 5 F's of Murder. We educate on IPV & IPH (Intimate Partner Violence and Intimate Partner Homicide).

3 women are killed every day at the hands of those who "claim" to love them.

You can judge for yourself if that's what transpired in this case.

We deliver the facts ... not the fiction.
