In this explosive midweek edition, hosts Kevin Flynn and Alex Taylor peel back the curtain on the escalating political theater in Minneapolis. The episode centers on Rep. Ilhan Omar, from a suspicious "spraying" incident at a town hall to Benny Johnson’s investigation into a California winery that allegedly exists only on paper. The team also dives into President Trump’s recent Iowa sit-down with Will Cain, where he addresses the "private army" narrative and his recent phone call with Governor Tim Walz.
While the political "crazy train" rolls on, Chief Meteorologist Dean Wysocki offers a glimmer of hope for a warm-up, the sports desk previews a historic Super Bowl rematch, and the crew celebrates National Kazoo Day with a side of Cinnamon Apple Walnut pancakes.
Standout Moments
[00:02:40] The "Vinegar Attack" Mystery Kevin and Alex break down the viral footage of Ilhan Omar being sprayed with a substance during a town hall. They question the authenticity of the "tackle" and the congresswoman's refusal to seek immediate medical attention, labeling the incident "Somali Jussie Smollett theater."
[00:11:45] The $5 Million Ghost Winery A deep dive into Benny Johnson’s investigation of "Est Crew LLC." The hosts discuss how Omar’s financial disclosures showed a winery valuation jump from $15,000 to $5 million in a single year, despite the physical location being an empty parking lot with a disconnected phone line.
[00:26:40] Gold vs. The Dollar: Brien Krank’s Analysis Collins and Krank’s Brien Krank explains why gold hitting $5,000 an ounce is less about the metal rising and more about the dollar making new lows. He offers a "bloodbath" warning for those still holding grandma’s silver.
[00:32:15] Trump on the Midterm "Psychological Factor" In a sit-down with Will Cain, President Trump discusses the historical difficulty of a sitting president winning midterms. He credits the continuation of Charlie Kirk’s legacy at TPUSA and Scott Pressler’s "ballot chasing" army as the keys to changing that trend in 2026.
[00:41:05] Craigslist Protesters for Hire? A listener tips the show off to a Fargo Craigslist ad offering $25 an hour for "petitioners." The team debates whether these paid roles are fueling the "organic" groundswell for free school meals and anti-ICE protests.
[00:46:15] The Homan Reset: "Daddy's Home" Trump explains his decision to replace Commander Greg Bovino with Tom Homan in Minneapolis. He insists it isn't a pullback but a tactical shift to "de-escalate" while still removing the "11,888 murderers" he claims were let in under the previous administration.
[01:00:15] 700,000 Without Power A sobering check on the national grid: over 700,000 people in the South remain without power following a massive ice storm. The hosts use the crisis to highlight the vulnerability of shifting away from baseload power like coal.
