In this episode of Controlled Burn, Vince “The Fire Starter” and his co-host (Napalm) kick off with sports banter before diving into what they call a full-on reveal season in America. They unpack how far-right politics has become less about policy and more about “owning the libs,” and how the Trump-era bubble is pushing people to double down on behavior that used to stay hidden.

From there, the conversation turns to ICE enforcement, organized community resistance (with Minnesota held up as the blueprint), and the hypocrisy of an economy that depends on immigrant labor while demonizing immigrants publicly. They break down how racial profiling is being normalized, why Spanish speakers and Black immigrants are being targeted, and why the country only “wakes up” when the harm hits people who look like the majority.

The episode closes with a spiritual and moral challenge: choose courage over comfort, because silence is a form of cooperation. Vince frames this moment as a “wash day” where everything comes out, warning that history will remember who spoke up and who tried to rewrite their role later. They leave listeners with one message: stay alert, stay grounded, and stay in the fight.
