Nick Stein Interview – Producer of National Geographic Channel’s Border Wars on David Hartley Murder on Falcon Lake.

Series Producer Nick Stein talks about the situation on the U.S. Mexico Border

MY BUDDY BUTCH EXTRA

One of the biggest things that I stress on our weekly show is keeping your families safe from any kind of harm. From food and product recalls, to crime and violence, it is important to stay informed about what is going on around our country and what you can do to avoid making uninformed choices. I was lucky enough to have Nick Stein give me a call for an interview to discuss the tragic murder of David Hartley and the pain that his family and his wife Tiffany is going through. Nick also talks about the situation with our border patrol and the great work these brave Americans are doing keeping watch on this dangerous situation on our border. God Bless the work these people are doing and we should all thank them for helping keep us safe. Catch this episode of Border Wars on National Geographic Channel Tonight Wednesday Nov. 17th at 9pm Eastern and check out National Geographic Channel Web Site for more info.
