In this high-octane Thursday edition, host Kevin Flynn flies solo with Big Game James as the political "crazy train" in Minnesota continues to hurtle off the tracks. The episode centers on a scathing critique of local and national leadership, from the Moorhead City Council's "Ice Watch" training to the suspicious "vinegar attack" on Ilhan Omar. Kevin breaks down the "puzzle" of radicalized social media friends and the "total theater" of modern protests.
While co-host Alex Taylor is away for a family funeral and Dino remains under the weather, the show dives deep into the "devil’s lie" surrounding Ilhan Omar’s finances, Tom Homan’s powerful "Daddy’s Home" press conference in Minneapolis, and the latest in ag-tech and Super Bowl predictions.
