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.

In this episode, we break down the latest developments surrounding the ICE protests in Minnesota and separate fact from narrative. We cover the viral story involving a 5-year-old boy and ICE agents, what actually happened during a lawful immigration operation, and how media framing fueled public outrage. We also examine the fatal Border Patrol shooting in Minneapolis, what video footage shows, and why tensions continue to escalate as investigations unfold.

We discuss the arrests connected to a protest that disrupted a church service in St. Paul, the federal charges involved, and how First Amendment protections are being interpreted. The Trump administration responds by blaming Minnesota Democrats for inciting unrest and interfering with federal law enforcement, raising broader questions about protest tactics and public safety.

The episode also includes an update on Iran, where the regime’s violent crackdown on protesters continues amid reports of mass detentions, leadership going underground, and rising fears of U.S. military action. We analyze what this means for ordinary Iranians and why the story has faded from mainstream coverage.

Finally, we revisit Trump’s renewed push on Greenland, the backlash from Denmark and NATO, and the larger debate over global power, trade, and America First foreign policy, plus a look at the hypocrisy of global elites exposed at Davos.

In Episode 29, we break down a week where protests crossed a dangerous line and accountability may finally be catching up.

In Minnesota, ICE protests escalated from street demonstrations into a church during a worship service raising serious constitutional and legal questions under federal law. We examine how far protest protections really go, why places of worship are not public forums, and how media figures like Don Lemon blurred the line between reporting and participation.

We also dive into the federal grand jury subpoenas now targeting Minnesota’s top political leadership, including Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, as prosecutors investigate whether state and local officials interfered with federal immigration enforcement.

From there, we shift overseas. Iran’s protest movement has entered a brutal new phase as the regime cracks down, deaths mount, and the United Nations once again proves powerless. We discuss whether the moment for real action has already passed.

Finally, we tackle Donald Trump’s renewed push to acquire Greenland, why tariffs matter more than rhetoric, what NATO’s response reveals about Europe’s dependence on the US, and whether strategic value outweighs political cost.
