What if your future came down to one decision: stand trial or take a plea? In this gripping episode, we follow Angel’s journey through the justice system, from rejecting trial and negotiating his own plea deals to enduring the unforgiving reality of long-term incarceration. He opens up about the violent rules of prison politics, the mental strain of life behind bars, and the hidden battles of reentering society after decades inside. It’s a raw, eye-opening account of choices, their consequences, and the resilience it takes to survive a system stacked against you.

Key Moments in this Episode:

• Why Angel avoided trial and negotiated plea deals to protect himself.
• The harsh prison hierarchy: race-based survival, violence, and constant power struggles.
• The emotional toll of missing family while in prison, especially during the holidays.
• How Angel used education to preserve his identity and sharpen his mind.
• The struggle to adjust to a world that has moved on without you.

Angel's story forces us to reconsider what justice looks like, what prison really does to people, and how nearly impossible it is to start over after being swallowed by the system. Listen now and challenge your assumptions as you walk a mile in the shoes of someone still finding his way after decades of being locked up.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be hunted? In this raw and eye-opening episode, Justin Yentes sits down with former Mexican Mafia member Angel Garcia to unpack how it feels to live under constant surveillance, face federal indictment, and go through the justice system. Angel doesn’t hold back, because he’s lived every part of it: the drug deals, the betrayal, the wiretaps, the courtroom pressure, and the soul-searching that comes after arrest.

In this episode we uncover:

1. The dramatic way feds arrest criminals
2. How agents use wiretaps, informants, and surveillance to build cases
3. Why inmates often study the law (hint: it's not to follow it)

This is more than a true crime story. It’s about systems—legal, social, personal—and how survival sometimes means knowing how to play the game. If you’ve ever wondered what happens between the headlines or what it takes to navigate the justice system from the inside, this conversation is for you.

What if you could be taken from your home, imprisoned without a trial, with no hope of getting out or seeing your family again, and labeled a criminal? This isn't a dystopian novel. It's Kilmar Abrego Garcia's reality. In this episode (part 2 of 2), Justin Yentes is joined again by attorney Doug Passon and former gang member Angel Garcia to discuss this case. They uncover how due process is being systematically dismantled in America under the weight of fear, political agendas, and gang labels. This conversation goes far beyond one man’s story, it’s a warning about what happens when we allow fear to override justice, and how quietly constitutional protections can disappear.

Key Topics:

1. Immigrants, legal and illegal, are protected under our Constitution.
2. Firsthand stories of fear, isolation, and dehumanization behind bars.
3. Fear, racism, and "Great Replacement" conspiracies fuel attacks on civil liberties.
4. Detainees in El Salvador are forced to work in brutal, unpaid conditions.
5. When laws are broken for one group, no one’s rights are secure.

This episode is a wake-up call. If we let fear-driven policies unravel our commitment to due process, we lose what makes our democracy worth defending. Hear the firsthand stories, connect the dots, and understand why this fight is about all of us, not just immigrants.

When 14-year-old Emily Pike ran away from a Mesa group home, no one could have predicted her story would end in tragedy or that her death would become a symbol of a broken, underfunded, and overlooked system. Her shocking murder brought national attention to the epidemic of the hundreds of missing and murdered Indigenous people whose cases are ignored or not investigated. Justin Yentes is joined by Chief Hilario Tanakeyowma, a veteran of Tribal law enforcement, and investigator Mike Lancaster in this eye-opening episode. They share insights into the systemic barriers that hinder justice on Tribal lands: jurisdictional confusion, a lack of mental health resources, and the generational trauma that silences communities.

Key Topics:

1. The facts and timeline of Emily Pike’s case
2. The challenges in Tribal law enforcement and jurisdiction
3. Underreporting and stigma around missing Indigenous children
4. How federal and tribal governments fail to fund investigations
5. What justice and reform could look like for Indigenous communities

If you care about justice, accountability, and amplifying the voices of those too often silenced, this episode is for you. Emily’s story and the stories of countless others can no longer be ignored.

What would you do if you were attacked and your life was on the line? We sit down with use-of-force expert Dennis Root, best known for his role as an expert witness in the George Zimmerman trial to discuss what really happens—mentally, physically, and legally—when someone makes the split-second decision to use deadly force and how it affects them afterward. We uncover what the media missed, how juries struggle to understand fear, and why most of us have a dangerously simplified view of self-defense.

Key Discussion Points:

1. What it really feels like in the moment you fear for your life and why biology takes over.
2. Why most people are unprepared for the mental aftermath of self-defense, even if they survive.
3. How expert witnesses serve the jury, not agendas, and why full transparency is critical.

🎧Listen now and challenge everything you thought you knew about self-defense.
