We ring in 2018 and talk resolutions before getting to the serious news of the week, a swat "prank" turned deadly in Kansas.  Plus an Antifa activist in Portland gets hit by a car, a comedian protests the unveiling of the Trump robot in Disneyland, a new music video depics the murder of Harvey Weinstein, "Harambe Kong" debuts at a Boise arcade, and we close with hoax hate of the week and surprise cringe.
