In this action-packed Tuesday morning broadcast, hosts Kevin and Alex cut through the "fear-mongering" and "tedious" headlines to bring you the latest on a world in transition. From the eerie glow of a lunar eclipse visible over North Dakota to the precision of a 37-hour bomber mission, the duo explores the global celebrations following the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. They break down the legal and tactical realities of Operation Epic Fury, dispel "Trump Derangement Syndrome" rumors regarding nuclear deals, and look ahead to a "pick day of the week" weather forecast that promises a hint of early spring.
The episode also honors local hero Officer Andy Work in the Luther Family Ford Salute to Law Enforcement and dives into the heavy sports schedule as the Moorhead Spuds and local basketball teams head into high-stakes playoff territory.
