The "mostly peaceful nurse" narrative blows up as another video of Alex Pretti comes out, this time violently kicking an ICE vehicle and screaming in their faces. We walk through the latest video tied to Alex Preddy and why it changes the public story that activists and politicians try to sell. We talk about what it means when a protest turns into destruction of property, why “wait for the facts” matters, and how the concealed-carry conversation gets pulled into the chaos. Then we get into Tom Homan arriving on the ground in Minnesota, meeting with Gov. Tim Walz, AG Keith Ellison, and Mayor Jacob Frey, and why his calm, direct approach is the total opposite of the political noise machine.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has no idea what the 10th Amendment means. From there, we review more of the grandstanding: Josh Shapiro’s comments about resisting federal operations, Pramila Jayapal calling to dismantle DHS/ICE/CBP, and the media spin games that keep rewarding the hottest take. We also bring up the New York Times reporting on missing children after the border surge and ask the obvious question—where are the same politicians when the real human horror stories are front and center? And when Sen. Ed Markey starts talking about an election-day Insurrection Act scenario, we call it what it is: panic talk meant to whip people up.
We also play the street-level reality check—protesters who struggle to explain what they’re protesting—and we address the ugly “Nazi/Gestapo” comparisons pushed by voices like Larry Krasner and Stephen Colbert. Sen. John Fetterman steps in with a clear rejection of that talk, and we agree: drop the Nazi labels before somebody decides violence is the next step. Then we hit the celebrity rant circuit, including Giancarlo Esposito’s comments, and why the interviewer’s lack of pushback is part of the problem.
Finally, we share our conversation with Sen. Dave McCormick after Marco Rubio’s testimony. We talk Venezuela, Maduro, oil, fentanyl trafficking routes, and why Iran is at a critical point. McCormick also lays out where the economy is heading, what Pennsylvanians may feel at tax time, and why energy—natural gas and nuclear—sits at the center of jobs, security, and America’s standing. He also talks bipartisanship, including working with Sen. Fetterman where it makes sense, and why Pennsylvania’s energy capacity puts the state at the front of the national push.
