Cliff and I spent most of our talk today on Venezuela, Epstein Files, and some predictions for 2026. But shortly after we wrapped up, the tragic news from Minneapolis came down. An ICE agent murdered an American citizen – shot her in the face. DHS of course blamed the victim and called the residents “rioters” even though the grisly videos disprove the administration's statement. We'll have more on the Thursday show.

We actually made it through one of the worst years ever. Meantime, most of you know who Stephanie is because so many of you learned about this show because of her show. But in case you're unfamiliar, Stephanie is the host of the nationally syndicated Stephanie Miller Show. She's hands down the greatest political broadcaster ever and I'm proud to call her a dear friend. Today we talked about how she caused the MAGA entertainment complex to lose its shpadoinkle over a photo of her kissing Jasmine Crockett's feet. We also talked about some behind the scenes radio things. A little bike riding in there, too, including how she rescued me from a ditch after I crashed. And so much more. So stick around for this talk. Meantime, make sure to support this podcast by subscribing at patreon.com/bobcescashow. Music by Feed Your Wolves.
