Chad Hartman

This week, we're diving into not one but two weird animal stories, as well as chemtrails, a scientist dubbed doctor Frankenstein, a man wreaking havoc with a sword and how to become a real-life storm-chaser. Featuring segments from the Dave Glover Show out of KMOX in St. Louis, WWJ Newsradio in Detroit, the Scoot Show and the Tommy Tucker shows out of WWL in New Orleans, the Dana & Parks Show out of KMBZ in Kansas City and KNX News out of Los Angeles.

Chad's full show today features our always excellent Friday conversations with Major Garrett, Sheletta Brundidge and Matthew Coller as well as a full hour with former MPD Chief Janee Harteau in studio sharing the concerns she has for the city of Minneapolis and her own daughter that prompted her to fly back to town from her current home in Florida.

Former Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau joins Chad for an hour in studio to talk about the many reasons she was compelled to fly back from her current home in Florida mainly to help ensure the safety of her daughter living in Minneapolis during this time.

Among the topics here with former MPD Chief Janee Harteau, she discusses some of the tactics and decisions made my ICE officers that could easily get any MPD officer or chief fired if they employed the same measures.

Former Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau joins Chad in studio to talk about the actions she's seen from ICE in Minneapolis and why it's been enough for her to fly back to Minnesota out of fear for her daughter's safety.

Plus, we dive into Vikings offseason topics and what should be a great weekend of NFL playoff games with Matthew Coller of Purple Insider.

Matthew Coller of Purple Insider is excellent today previewing his favorite matchups this weekend in the NFL playoffs and share what he hear from Kevin O'Connell and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah this week about what the Vikings QB situation will look like next season.

It's a Feisty Friday with Sheletta Brundidge and she has plenty to say about ICE's impact on Minneapolis and around the state and many of our leaders she sees as criticizing ICE and the federal government from afar without being on the streets.

Adam Carter hangs around with Chad to open the show talking about the increasing level of anger we see in today's political discussions before we welcome back Major Garrett from CBS News.

Major Garrett of CBS News joins Chad to talk about how the White House is handling the situation with ICE in Minnesota, how close we came to an attack on Iran, and his incredible experience at San Diego Padres fantasy camp.

Most of the feedback we receive at WCCO is great, respectful and constructive. However, as we saw earlier today, too much is just the opposite. Adam Carter sticks around with Chad to discuss the problem we have in America with losing out ability to debate and discuss politics without jumping to anger at the other side of an issue.
