In this episode, we jump back in with a full round of updates after our interview with Dennis Brennan, and there’s no shortage of chaos to unpack.

We start in Minnesota, where the ICE protests continue and a reported phone call between President Trump and Governor Tim Walz raises some serious questions about what’s being said publicly versus what’s happening behind closed doors. Cooperation seems to work, even in blue cities, but activists, local politicians, and the media are telling a very different story.

We break down protest footage the media didn’t exactly rush to highlight, including a moment that perfectly captures the disconnect between anti-police rhetoric and real-world consequences.

We also discuss a disturbing case out of New York involving a woman allegedly trying to buy a gun with violent intent toward ICE agents and what that says about the temperature of the rhetoric right now.

Then we shift to Washington, where lawmakers are once again flirting with a government shutdown, this time over ICE funding. We dig into who actually pays the price when politicians play budget chicken and why this shutdown script feels way too familiar.

And finally, because not everything can be rage-inducing, we end on a lighter note with PETA’s latest crusade. This time targeting Punxsutawney Phil, and why replacing a groundhog with a hologram might be the most on-brand idea yet.
