Ep. 48 | Breaking Down the Minnesota Democratic Assassinations, No Kings Protests, and Trump's Immigration Policy Reversals


Listen Later

Holy moly, friends – buckle up because this episode is PACKED. While Rachel's running on fumes (thanks to a 4:30 AM baby wake-up call), we're diving deep into the chaos that was this past weekend. We're breaking down the Minnesota assassination attempt that the media somehow can't seem to get straight, the bizarre "No Kings" protests that looked more like sad parties, and Trump's Army parade that had everyone clutching their pearls for absolutely no reason. Plus, we're calling out the immigration policy flip-flopping that's got everyone's heads spinning. Spoiler alert: the media is trash (shocking, we know), and we have zero tolerance for their nonsense. Grab your coffee and let's get into it!

Episode Highlights
  • Minnesota Assassination Deep Dive - We dissect the Vance Luther Bowler case and why the media's narrative doesn't add up with the actual evidence.
  • The Roommate Situation Gets Weird - That sweaty Papa John's shirt-wearing "roommate" giving multiple TV interviews? Yeah, something's not right there.
  • No Kings vs. Army Birthday Showdown - Contrasting the doom-and-gloom protest parties with the wholesome 250th Army anniversary celebration that was actually delightful.
  • Trump's Immigration Flip-Flop Drama - Breaking down the Truth Social posts that went from protecting farmers to doubling down on sanctuary cities (and back again?).
  • Media Lies About "Doing It Legally" - Mercedes goes OFF debunking the false narrative that people are getting deported despite following proper legal procedures.
