In this charged and fiery Monday edition of What's on Your Mind, host Scott Hennen and co-host Kevin Flynn tackle the chaotic weekend of protests and riots in Los Angeles, following ICE operations to detain illegal immigrants with violent criminal histories. The duo spares no punches in calling out local and national leaders, especially Governor Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, accusing them of downplaying the violence and refusing to uphold law and order.
Joined by Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner and Senator Kevin Cramer, this episode explores the legal, tactical, and political implications of deploying federal forces to quell unrest. From ICE raids to bricks-on-rooftops conspiracy theories, the episode mixes humor, outrage, and firsthand law enforcement insight with a touch of political theater analysis.
