The Tara Show

H1-S3- 1-26-26 - The Tara Show - interview with Michael Warlow from Meterology in Minnesota about the extreme weather

From ice storms to financial scandals, today's coverage has it all.

From freezing rain and ice-covered bridges to a Super Bowl halftime controversy, Tara takes listeners on a sharp, unfiltered ride through a weekend that may shut down roads — and spark cultural backlash. First, Tara breaks down Schnumageddon hour by hour ⏰❄️ so families know exactly when to run errands, when to stay home, and when roads turn dangerous. Then, the conversation pivots to a much bigger question:

Tara revisits the Chicago case that she says changed everything. A high-ranking Latin Kings gang member, an illegal immigrant wanted by Interpol, allegedly puts out a Snapchat hit on a U.S. Border Patrol sector chief — $10,000 to kill him, $2,000 to kidnap and torture him. The evidence was explicit. The jury deliberated less than four hours. The verdict: Not guilty. From Chicago to Minneapolis to Washington, D.C., Tara argues this case exposes a dangerous new reality: state courts won't prosecute, federal juries won't convict, and criminals know it. This isn't disorder. It's a system — and it's accelerating.

From an urgent winter storm warning to a blistering critique of global institutions and domestic unrest, today's episode covers weather, preparedness, politics, and power.

A major winter system is bearing down on the Upstate — and the clock is ticking. ❄️⚠️ Recovering meteorologist Tony Dale breaks down why this storm is not a typical snow event, warning of two to three inches of liquid equivalent, falling almost entirely as sleet and ice. Forecasts point to up to four inches of sleet before icing even begins, creating conditions that look like snow but behave like solid ice. The hosts walk through the most important takeaway: wrap up everything by 5 PM Saturday. After that, temperatures plunge below freezing, precipitation continues, and conditions may not improve until Monday afternoon — with power outages potentially lasting even longer. From gas shortages and generators to chainsaws, tire chains, abandoned hills, and Monday-morning reality checks, this episode blends real-world storm prep, personal experience, and hard-earned local wisdom — plus a reminder to stay put if you can and stay safe if you can't.

As a major winter system barrels toward the Upstate, hosts break down what matters, when it matters, and how to prepare. ❄️

Tara breaks down why the U.S. has formally exited the World Health Organization — and why critics say the WHO no longer serves global health, but Chinese political interests. Then, Tara connects that decision to what she calls a dangerous domestic pattern: law enforcement pullbacks, prosecutors declining charges, and rhetoric that critics argue signals tolerance for violence against federal officers. From Arizona to Chicago to Minneapolis, Tara lays out why some cities now feel “American in name only.”

Tara brings in a recovering meteorologist to explain why weather forecasts have felt so wrong lately — and why this storm is no joke. What looks like “just another winter system” could turn into widespread freezing rain, power outages, impassable roads, and dangerously cold temperatures — all across a massive region at once. This episode breaks down what's really happening in the atmosphere, why models struggle with winter storms, and why preparation right now matters more than ever.

Tara delivers a stark warning after a series of courtroom decisions and public statements she says are changing the rules of enforcement in America. From a Latin Kings gang member walking free after allegedly placing a hit on a Border Patrol chief, to comments by Arizona's Attorney General that critics say could endanger federal agents, Tara connects the dots between non-prosecution, ideological jury pools, and what she believes is the rapid erosion of law and order in major blue cities. This episode asks one urgent question:

A gang hit on a U.S. Border Patrol sector chief. A known Latin Kings leader, wanted by Interpol. A $10,000 murder bounty — and no conviction. Tara revisits a chilling Chicago case that signals something far bigger than one courtroom decision. From weaponized juries to cities where law enforcement is openly hunted, this episode examines what happens when the justice system stops functioning — and who pays the price. This isn't theory. It's happening now.

Snowmageddon is knocking — and it might just turn into Ice-Mageddon

From Florida, through the Carolinas, East Coast, and Midwest, Fern is coming and she's angry. Here's what to expect and how to stay safe, plus if it makes you swear, you're not alone. And if your kids join you you're not alone in that either.

From Minneapolis riots ❄️⚔️, illegal immigration chaos

Nothing less than an absolute brawl at Davos. President Trump storms the globalist stronghold with a message that shatters alliances, exposes hypocrisy, and forces the world to choose sides. Empty chairs. Furious elites. Trade deals ripped apart. From the UN and NATO to China, Greenland, energy collapse in Europe, election integrity at home, and the SAFE Act showdown in Washington — this episode lays out why the old world order is collapsing and what replaces it. This wasn't diplomacy. This was a line in the sand.

From Trump's blistering Davos speech to an EU emergency meeting, the global order is shifting fast

The chairs were set. The bill was small. And Europe didn't show.

Trump shakes the world stage at Davos

Trump pulls no punches. From Europe's dependence on Russian energy to billions lost in Ukraine, this episode breaks down what's really going on in global geopolitics.

Did Trump embarrass America at Davos — or did he do exactly what world leaders fear most?

Forget the fear-mongering and broken forecasts.

One image told the whole story.

Everyone's asking about the storm — so here it is: an honest, no-hype weather breakdown.

Trump didn't just give a speech at Davos — he blew up the board. Within minutes of his remarks, EU leaders paused their own trade deal, called an emergency meeting, and began scrambling to respond to what may become one of the most iconic geopolitical moments of this era: empty chairs behind President Trump as he unveiled his proposed Board of Peace. After $300+ billion in U.S. taxpayer money spent defending Europe, Trump put a simple question to the world:

Davos doesn't matter if elections don't. That's the blunt reality. In this explosive segment, the focus shifts from global power plays to the one issue that determines everything: photo ID and proof of citizenship to vote. The SAFE Act has passed the House — but it's being blocked in the Senate. Trump and Elon Musk are sounding the alarm, while Republican leadership stalls. If this fails before November, the growth, the security, the wins — all of it ends. This isn't politics anymore. It's the survival of the Republic. ⚠️

Nothing short of an absolute brawl at Davos. President Trump storms the globalist stronghold with a nationalist message that leaves the UN, NATO, and Europe reeling. From Greenland to Ukraine, China to Russia, this speech rips the mask off the so-called “international order.” Seats left empty. Deals ripped up. And a world order on the brink of collapse. This wasn't diplomacy — it was a warning shot.

From snow shovels in Minneapolis to Greenland's strategic importance, today's headlines cover law enforcement ambushes, immigration chaos, election controversies, and international security. We break down: ICE conflicts and protests ❄️

How big is the fraud? According to new revelations, it's mind-boggling.

What would America look like under total Democrat control?

Are some people truly above the law in America? And what happens when the justice system stops functioning altogether? In this explosive episode, we examine two unfolding crises shaking the country at the same time:

President Trump doubles down on Greenland—calling it a core national security necessity for the United States and the Western Hemisphere. Speaking amid World Economic Forum fallout, Trump and his allies argue that Greenland's location, Arctic shipping lanes, missile defense needs, and growing Chinese and Russian influence make U.S. control unavoidable. This episode breaks down the strategic, financial, and geopolitical case for Greenland, the mounting frustration with NATO and Europe, and why Trump says America can no longer subsidize global security while being blocked from defending its own hemisphere. From hypersonic missiles to Arctic icebreakers, from NATO spending disputes to “America First” defense policy—this conversation exposes why Greenland could become the issue that shatters NATO's unity. ⚠️

Why is Greenland suddenly back in the headlines—and why does Trump insist the U.S. must secure it? In this episode, we unpack Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum: the strategic importance of Greenland, the history of U.S. involvement, NATO tensions, and the emerging threats from Russia and China. From hypersonic missiles to Arctic icebreakers, this isn't about land—it's about national security, hemispheric defense, and global power. Trump also touches on election integrity, NATO funding, and U.S. obligations in Europe—making this episode a full dive into politics, defense, and diplomacy. ⚠️

Why does President Trump say the U.S. must have Greenland—and how far is he willing to go? In this episode, we break down Trump's latest remarks on Greenland, national security, and the classified realities shaping Arctic strategy. From hypersonic missiles and undersea cables to Russian icebreakers and Chinese ambitions in the Arctic, this isn't about real estate—it's about survival, defense, and global power projection. Greenland sits at the crossroads of America, Russia, and China—and ignoring it could leave a dangerous hole in U.S. national security. ⚠️

While activists scream about ICE deportations, a quieter story is unfolding—one with massive financial and political consequences. Thousands of illegal immigrants with criminal records have been arrested, while hundreds of thousands more are self-deporting after taking cash incentives. In this episode, we break down the real numbers, the true cost of amnesty, and why self-deportation may be the most effective—and least discussed—immigration policy tool yet. From welfare usage to electoral consequences, this is a conversation many don't want to have… but must. ⚠️

Are some people truly above the law?

Recent polling shows President Trump underwater on immigration — not because of policy failure, but because of a messaging collapse

What happens when Democrats face zero resistance?

Host Tara breaks down explosive claims surrounding Iran, national security, and repeated alleged assassination plots targeting Donald Trump and his inner circle. From foreign operatives accused of recruiting criminal hitmen on U.S. soil, to unanswered subpoenas, missing FBI records, and silence from Democratic leadership, this episode examines why Iran remains at the center of rising global tensions—and why Trump is issuing his strongest warning yet. With U.S. military assets quietly repositioning across the Middle East, Tara explains what “pre-positioning” means, why intelligence gaps matter, and what's at stake if foreign threats against American political leaders are ignored. This is not about protests. This is about sovereignty, deterrence, and whether the United States is willing to defend its own leaders—past, present, and future.

How big is the fraud in Minnesota? Bigger than anyone imagined.

From lawless streets in Minneapolis

What happens when street mobs replace law enforcement — and fraud investigators are chased out instead of protected? ⚠️ In this episode, Tara breaks down alarming claims out of Minneapolis involving depolicing, violent intimidation, and massive Medicaid fraud allegations tied to empty storefronts and sham businesses. From citizens being targeted for their clothing

What happens when a state stops enforcing the law — and allies refuse to act like allies? ⚠️ In this explosive episode, Tara exposes two crises colliding at once:

Something historic is happening — and most people haven't grasped it yet. In this episode, Tara zooms out to the big geopolitical picture, breaking down why China is losing ground for the first time in the modern era and how the global balance of power is tilting back toward the United States. From Venezuela's oil to Iran's weakening grip on the Middle East, the dominoes are falling fast — and Beijing is feeling the pressure. No shots fired. No wars started. Just leverage, energy, economics, and strategy. ♟️⚡

How big is the fraud? Bigger than anyone wants to admit.

Is Trump “crazy” over Greenland — or is this what happens when you finally follow the money?

What's really happening in Minnesota — and why does it matter to the rest of America? ⚠️ In this episode, Tara breaks down explosive claims involving $19 BILLION in alleged fraud, violent street intimidation, and federal officials being chased off while trying to investigate. With no arrests since December, leaked emails suggesting city coordination with protesters, and federal agencies sounding the alarm, Tara explains why Minnesota is being framed as a case study in depolicing, vigilantism, and the collapse of lawful accountability.
