Show notes

Kyle Frankovich and Maureen Foody have filed a defamation lawsuit against conservative commentator Benny Johnson, alleging he falsely labeled them as “left-wing terrorists” who assaulted federal officers during a protest outside an ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois.

Clovis Police say Jacob Meier, a 25-year-old part-time percussion coach at Buchanan High School, was arrested Friday on suspicion of felony sex with a minor. Investigators say the case came to light after the parents of a recent Buchanan graduate found inappropriate messages between their daughter and Meier and reported them to police. Detectives later served a search warrant at Meier's home and reportedly found additional evidence.
