Phil Andrews interview starts at: 25:49

This week, Paige breaks down Pam Bondi’s evasive congressional testimony to Kristi Noem’s growing ethical scandals. She examines the Washington Post layoffs and why billionaire ownership is hollowing out journalism rather than saving it. The episode also covers Trump’s overtly political speech at a military base and broader attacks on democratic governors. 

Plus, Phil Andrew returns for a focused conversation on ICE operations and public safety. Drawing on his background as a former FBI agent and crisis negotiator, Phil breaks down how current ICE tactics undermine community trust, escalate harm, and weaken long-term security. Together, Paige and Phil discuss de-escalation, transparency, and why restoring credibility and accountability is essential for both public safety and democracy.
