Episode #271 of  @professorpennpodcast  This episode begins with a timely discussion of the fatal shooting of Renee Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in South Minneapolis and Mayor Jacob Frey’s response to the federal enforcement presence in the city. We then pivot to national politics with President Donald Trump’s focus on alleged Minnesota fraud and his intensified support for ICE operations, the local political implications of Keith Ellison’s run for Attorney General, and public commentary from Steve Miller about a “day of reckoning” and federal agent immunity. The conversation expands to broader themes such as the deepening military posture of the United States, economic pressures on trade, the “patriot economy” and why individuals must engage in self-governance if real change is to occur. Finally, the episode connects these tensions to long-term global dynamics and the role the U.S. plays in shaping conflicts both at home and abroad.

Episode #270 of The Professor Penn Podcast This episode is a rerun of Royce White's recent Interview with PBS Frontline. A Piece so good it had to be posted again.

Episode #269 of the @professorpennpodcast. This episode opens with a discussion on the ICE shooting in South Minneapolis, reactions to Mayor Frey’s comments, and how dependence on an increasingly authoritarian system may reflect deeper spiritual issues beneath the political surface. The conversation expands globally with a reaction to Chinese official rhetoric on nuclear weapons, an examination of modern “hybrid war” in 2026, and how recent U.S. presidential decisions are reshaping tensions with China. We explore why these pressures are not new, how the U.S. dollar exerts global control, and why real solutions are impossible without citizens engaging at the local level rather than dismissing candidates as “unelectable.” The episode closes by confronting America’s role in global conflicts, fractures among allies, and the long-standing influence of colonial power structures on U.S. foreign policy despite the nation’s founding purpose to break from them.

Episode #268 of the @professorpennpodcast. Professor sits down with Matthew Simon, Chair of the North Dakota Republican Party, to discuss his path into politics, the personal hardships that came with it, and why everyday citizens have been pushed away from civic engagement. They explore how that disengagement fuels many of the nation’s current challenges, break down the nine core values behind Simon’s party platform, and emphasize the necessity of holding public officials accountable. The conversation closes with a deeper reflection on responsibility in government and the often-overlooked spiritual force shaping political leadership and culture.

Episode #267 of the @professorpennpodcast. Professor talks about the new viral piece from Nick Shirley that uncovered a lot of Day Care Center Fraud happening in Minneapolis MN. He draws the contrast to this amount of fraud compared to the massive amount that could be happening. Is this a Minnesota issue? Or is it across the nation?

Episode #266 of the @professorpennpodcast. As Christmas approaches, Professor Penn reflects on the season while outlining the strategy and concrete actions being taken to continue growing the movement. With the caucus quickly approaching, he explains why getting involved at the local level can change history in an instant — and why participation matters now more than ever. The episode dives into the future of the MNGOP and the ongoing push for “more electable candidates,” including discussion surrounding the unseating of Brett Bussman as a party officer. Professor also reacts to a recent clip from Royce White’s interview with Frontline, breaking down its implications for the broader political landscape. The conversation closes with a forward-looking discussion on the future of artificial intelligence and a candid examination of how personal responsibility and self-accountability appear to be at historic lows in modern society.

Episode #265 of the @professorpennpodcast. A segment from The Patriot, on AM Radio 1280. They talk about how the MNGOP works and politics in general, and what the future of MNGOP could look like.

Episode #264 of the @professorpennpodcast. Professor Penn argues that citizen engagement is long overdue, challenging a system where money — not voters — has held politicians accountable. He examines the growing role of military members in politics and recounts a recent tense face-to-face exchange with Minnesota Senate candidate Adam Schwarze. Professor reacts to comments from Steve Bannon regarding a potential future candidacy involving Steve Daines, then breaks down how the military-industrial complex is embedded directly within U.S. Congress. Using the federal registry, he reveals how much is being spent on weapons and war, raising the question of why America always seems to be at war. The episode also explores how political stressors can evolve into religious hatred, before Professor Penn closes with a discussion on the history of U.S. immigration and the clear parallels to what the country is experiencing today.

Episode #263 of the @professorpennpodcast. Professor Penn takes the mic solo as he recaps insights from a recent political gathering known as “The Masterclass.” From there, he moves into a deep analysis of America’s current economic reality and responds to Rep. Ilhan Omar’s claims that Donald Trump is responsible for the affordability crisis facing the country. The Professor then shifts into a historical examination of Somalia and the Somali people, using that context to explore how immigration has historically been used as a political tool to shape — and sometimes reshape — entire nations. This leads to a broader question: Why is the immigration we see today happening, and who benefits? Professor Penn also challenges the ongoing reluctance of many Republicans to address election fraud openly, calling it a moment that demands courage rather than silence. The episode closes with a look into the British role in early Zionism and how the movement evolved into a global political force. A sweeping and provocative historical-political breakdown designed to help listeners understand the forces shaping America and the world today.
