Jason in the Morning

Shots Fired, Slow Hearts, and Suspending Spending (6-3)


Listen Later

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.
