This week on the show: I share an honest update on my latest progress in law school and the exciting possibility of teaching college part-time next semester. Then we dig into some of the biggest, most polarizing stories dominating the national conversation — from the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis and the massive protests it’s sparked, to fierce debates about federal vs. state authority and Minnesota’s National Guard response. We ask: Are we really on the brink of deeper civil conflict in America? We also unpack:
- The fall from grace of famed Christian author Philip Yancey
- News on mortgage rates and whether they’re finally cooling
- Rumors and political drama around Governor Tim Walz resigning or relying on the Guard
- A Philadelphia DA warning federal law enforcement over jurisdiction clashes
- Allegations of billions in fraud in Minnesota
- A curious Trump Greenland headline
- Is Iran nearing collapse?
- And a lighter, inspiring tale of a man who taught English in Vietnam for 10 years.
It’s a blend of personal growth, national tension, and global intrigue — the news, context, and perspective you didn’t know you needed this week.
