It is a brutal Monday in the frozen tundra as Alex Taylor and Kevin Flynn break down a weekend of "Minnesota Madness" and life-threatening wind chills. The episode centers on the explosive tension between the Trump administration and sanctuary jurisdictions like Minneapolis and Chicago. Special emphasis is placed on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s recent media appearances, where she defends the arrest of thousands of criminal illegal aliens and spars with reporters over the "70% criminal" statistic.
The duo also tackles a shocking new escalation in political protests: the disruption of a St. Paul church service. Beyond the politics, the show covers the cold-weather survival mission facing North Dakota, the high stakes of current agricultural bailouts, and an innovative new approach to teaching kids nutrition through soil and soul.
