Season 6, Episode 7 of Jason in the Morning tackles three stories about power — and what happens when it breaks down.

We start in Minneapolis, where ICE officers shot a Venezuelan man during an enforcement operation, reigniting questions about use of force, accountability, and what immigration enforcement looks like on American streets.

Then we zoom out globally, as tensions with Iran rise again. With protests abroad, military assets moving in the region, and renewed talk of U.S. options, we break down what escalation could actually look like — and what history says usually comes next.

And finally, a story that hit close to home: a massive Verizon outage left thousands without service, parents unable to reach kids, and businesses dead in the water — followed by a corporate shrug and a promise of credits.

Three stories. One theme. Power without accountability always shows its cracks.

Season 6, Episode 5 of Jason in the Morning is about power, pressure, and what moves markets.

We start with Alphabet crossing the $4 trillion mark as investors double down on artificial intelligence and a quiet but massive deal with Apple to power the next generation of Siri. Then we look at why U.S. consumer prices are snapping back after distorted data last fall — and why that likely keeps the Federal Reserve on pause as 2026 begins.

We close overseas in Japan, where speculation about a snap election — potentially triggered when parliament reconvenes on January 23 — has already weakened the yen, reminding markets how fast politics can ripple through global finance.

Big money, sticky prices, and election rumors that move currencies — this one’s about timing, trust, and who really sets the pace.

Season 6, Episode 4 of Jason in the Morning covers three very different stories tied together by one question: who controls the systems meant to protect us?

Jason starts in Iran, where the government claims nationwide protests turned violent to invite foreign intervention, even as reports describe a brutal crackdown, mass arrests, and a country under information lockdown.

Then we head to China, where engineers have built a massive hypergravity centrifuge capable of simulating thousands of years of physical stress in minutes—technology that could reshape infrastructure safety, materials science, and long-term national resilience.

Finally, we turn to the UK, where regulators are investigating Elon Musk’s AI chatbot Grok after reports it was used to generate non-consensual and illegal images, raising urgent questions about privacy, platform responsibility, and how fast AI is outrunning the safeguards meant to protect real people.

From streets to labs to screens, this episode is about power, pressure, and the consequences when oversight lags behind force.

On Season 6, Episode 3 of Jason in the Morning, we start with one of the hardest stories we’ve covered in a while.

Jason walks through the ICE operation in Minneapolis where a U.S. citizen and legal observer was shot and killed by a federal agent in broad daylight. We break down what’s known from the video, how officials are framing it, and what it says about power, accountability, and who pays the price when “enforcement” goes sideways.

Then I take the wheel and try to bring us down a notch. First, we look at new research on atrial fibrillation and brain health: a major trial testing whether putting lower-risk AFib patients on blood thinners could protect them from cognitive decline. The answer is more complicated—and less magical—than the hype around “one extra pill.”

Finally, we zoom way out to food, farming, and policy. A deep dive into why 2026 might mark the end of the classic “farm bill era” in American agriculture, and what it could mean for farmers, SNAP recipients, grocery bills, and the fragile coalition that has tied rural and urban America together for nearly a century.

From a fatal shooting in Minneapolis to the rhythm of your heartbeat to the politics behind your pantry, this one is heavy, human, and very 2026.

On Season 6, Episode 2 of Jason in the Morning, we’re talking trash, protests, and plate discipline.

First, we climb into the cab with Waste Management’s CEO, Jim Fish, the guy who still shows up for 1 a.m. safety briefings and rides trash routes with his crews. Fortune calls out how he uses ride-alongs, language, and trust to attack one of the most dangerous jobs in America from the ground up instead of just from the boardroom.

Then we head to Minnesota, where the Department of Homeland Security publicly blasted a Hampton Inn by Hilton after emails told federal bookers that “ICE or immigration agents” weren’t welcome. The hotel owner calls it a mistake. DHS calls it discrimination. We dig into what happens when national immigration crackdowns collide with local business politics.

Finally, we cool everything down with a new look at intermittent fasting. A fresh clinical study on alternate-day fasting finds that the magic isn’t in the fasting schedule at all—once you control for weight loss, the metabolic benefits look a lot like plain old calorie restriction. No mystical “metabolic reset,” just a different way of eating less.

Trash trucks, hotel wars, and harsh truths about fad diets—three stories tied together by who actually does the hard work and who just writes the rules.

Season 6, Episode 1 of Jason in the Morning is a wild one.

First, we break down the overnight raid in Venezuela: U.S. forces bomb targets, snatch Nicolás Maduro out of Caracas, and fly him to New York to face narcotrafficking charges. On the ground, Venezuela is left with dueling claims to power, a furious region, and a U.S. president openly talking about “running” the country and rebuilding it with oil money.

Then we head to northern Minnesota, where a small company says it has found helium-3—the same “moon fuel” scientists have long dreamed of mining from lunar soil—trapped in gas beneath the forest. If the numbers hold, this could reshape future supply for quantum tech, neutron detectors, and maybe even fusion energy, without leaving Earth at all.

Finally, we empty our pockets and look at the new U.S. coins for America’s 250th birthday. A citizens panel pushed for designs honoring Frederick Douglass, women’s suffrage, and Ruby Bridges, but those all got dropped in favor of safer Revolutionary-era imagery. On top of that, the Mint is floating a Trump $1 coin for circulation, raising questions about cults of personality and what kind of history we literally carry around every day.

Three stories, one big theme: who controls the narrative—on the street, underground, and on the money.

Hearts, pills, and AI gone wrong. In Episode 175 of Jason in the Morning, we dig into why your morning routine might be quietly stressing your heart, what the new once-a-day Wegovy weight-loss pill really means for health and wallets, and how deepfake abuse and justice system pressure show the dark side of AI in schools and power. Quick hits, real stakes, no screaming pundits.

On Episode 174 of Jason in the Morning, we start with a chilling warning from career Justice Department officials about an online network that targets kids and turns self-harm into content. Then we dig into the quiet side effects of the GLP-1 weight-loss boom and what it may be doing to people’s pelvic floors, before shifting to how “private” AI chats can leak through shady browser extensions and why Congress just turned kids’ cell phones at DoD schools into a national security issue. Four stories about power, bodies, and who is really in control of our screens.

Today on Jason in the Morning: a thousand AI villagers build their own weird little civilisation inside Minecraft, Trump rolls out a $1,776 “warrior dividend” holiday bonus tied to tariff revenue, and an interstellar comet from another star system swings by for a once-in-a-lifetime visit. Then we head to orbit, where Space Force gives its satellites and space weapons new names drawn from ghosts, sharks, and Norse mythology, and we close at a Shrimp Basket in Pensacola, where a chef goes looking for a missing regular and ends up saving his life. Five stories, one breakfast table, and a world that keeps getting stranger by the day.
