Major Garrett is the chief Washington correspondent for CBS News and the host of The Takeout. He joins Chad Hartman every Friday. Their conversation this week starts with the 6 month mark of the war in Iran. Major gives his thoughts on what’s transpired, what we’re (mis)focusing on and the pursuit of truth beyond the hyperbolics.

In their second segment, Major shares the fairs he grew up with in San Diego, the importance of fairs in political campaigning and his anticipations of the 2028 elections.

Bob Fletcher is the Sheriff of Ramsey County. He joins Chad Hartman under the new WCCO Radio pergola. They start their conversation about the Sheriff Office’s effort in tracking and managing gang violence within the Somali community. Sheriff Fletcher emphasizes that these gang members do not represent the Somali community as a whole. Their conversation flows into one about the necessity of accountability and their ideas of effective prosecution.

In their second segment, Chad and Sheriff Fletcher talk about the number of officers dedicated to keeping the fairgrounds safe, the necessity for Minneapolis to hire more police officers and new technologies that are changing law enforcement.
