This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, Congressman Brad Knott joins us to expose the Biden administration’s deliberate dismantling of border security and its impact on crime, law enforcement, and national security. As a former federal prosecutor who fought organized crime and human trafficking, Knott brings firsthand insight into how the administration’s policies have fueled illegal immigration and empowered dangerous cartels. Then, Jessica Anderson, president of the Sentinel Action Fund, breaks down the key Senate battleground states for 2026 and the Democrats' shifting strategy. Plus, investigative reporter Madeline Rowley uncovers a $20 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund fueling progressive nonprofits—many with deep ties to the Biden administration. And on Kiley’s Corner, we dive into the latest twists in high-profile crime cases, including updates on the three men who died after watching the Chiefs game, the Idaho 4 murders, and the latest buzz around Casey Anthony. New movement in the JonBenét Ramsey case? Kiley’s on the trail. Tune in for in-depth analysis and exclusive insights—only on Breaking Battlegrounds!

About our guests:
Congressman Brad Knott represents North Carolina’s 13th Congressional District including Wake, Johnston, Lee, Harnett, Franklin, Caswell, Person and Granville counties. Elected in 2024, Brad is serving his first term in the U.S. House of Representatives.
In the 119th Congress, Brad serves on the House Judiciary, Transportation & Infrastructure and Homeland Security committees. Brad’s focus in Congress is combatting pervasively serious crime, building an environment for continued economic growth in North Carolina’s 13th District and across the nation and defending against persistent threats to our country from within our own borders.
Prior to serving in Congress, Brad proudly worked alongside law enforcement at all levels to prosecute organized crime in cases that touched every corner of the country. This included drug cartels, human trafficking, financial crimes, national gangs and more. From this experience, Brad saw how harmful policies and weak law enforcement wounded communities all over the country. This, in large part, motivated Brad to run for office.
Brad looks to pull from his experience to support robust law enforcement while strengthening the laws to simultaneously disincentivize illegal immigration and protect Americans from all types of crime.
Brad and his wife Joanna are both lifelong North Carolinians and have two daughters. He holds a Juris Doctorate from Wake Forest University School of Law and a bachelor’s degree from Baylor University.

Jessica Anderson is the founding president of Heritage Action’s super PAC, the Sentinel Action Fund, and former executive director of Heritage Action for America, the political advocacy arm of The Heritage Foundation. During the Trump administration, she served as associate director of intergovernmental affairs and strategic initiatives at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). She is also a founding board member of the suburban-mom-focused nonprofit N2 America and founding president of the pro-Trump super PAC Moms for Safe Neighborhoods. Anderson’s first political job was at the Civitas Institute, a free market think tank in North Carolina.
In 2021, Democrats in Iowa’s House of Representatives named Anderson in a lawsuit for violating the state’s lobbying rules. That same year, Mother Jones reported on a leaked video in which she boasted to donors about Heritage Action’s role in drafting and coordinating model voter suppression laws in Georgia, Iowa, Florida, and Arizona.
An outspoken anti-abortion advocate, Anderson is a frequent guest on FOX News, FOX Business, and Newsmax, and is a regular contributor to the Daily Caller and the Daily Signal. She holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida.
