Sheriff Mark Lamb: “We’re Already in a Civil War… It’s Just Not What You Think” | DSH #1789

America feels more divided than ever — and Sheriff Mark Lamb says we’re already in a “civil war”… just not the kind people imagine. From border security and long-term policy fixes, to jail overcrowding, unvetted migration, and rising threats like cartel operations, drones, and fentanyl, Mark breaks down what he saw firsthand as a two-term sheriff — and why he’s running for Congress now. We also talk about why trust in institutions is collapsing, how body cameras changed policing, and why he believes the only real solution is less government and more power back to the people.
