Mornings with Brian Haldane: Franz Borghardt, 10-15-25

Attorney Franz Borghardt joins the show to unpack the legal and ethical storm surrounding the U.S. State Department’s revocation of visas from foreigners who allegedly celebrated the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The conversation dives into the nature of visa rights, constitutional protections for non-citizens, and the blurry line between free speech and incitement. Franz challenges the idea of hosting guests who openly wish harm on Americans and explores whether political motives are driving these decisions. Plus, the episode shifts to the Smitty’s Supply explosion lawsuit, raising questions about corporate responsibility and damage control. A fiery, thought-provoking discussion throughout.
