The Mayor of St. Paul just sued the federal government to stop federal agents from enforcing federal law. Let that sink in. No legal precedent? No problem—she'll just create one, apparently. Yet another performative lawsuit burning through taxpayer dollars while ICE carries out deportations of criminal illegal immigrants who already have deportation orders.We break down the embarrassing CNN interview where she admits there's zero legal precedent for this case, explain why every administration has conducted local deportations (because geography exists), and explore the chaos in Minnesota following Operation Metro Surge's 2,500+ arrests. Meanwhile, six federal prosecutors resign after being asked to investigate domestic terrorism connections. The wheels are coming off in Minneapolis, folks.Is this what "resistance" looks like in 2025—lawsuits without legal standing and prosecutors rage-quitting? How long can sanctuary city officials keep pretending federal law doesn't apply to them?

In this episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew Parker examines the growing national divide over immigration enforcement, federal authority, and the rule of law—and why America now finds itself pushed to the brink.Broadcasting from Minneapolis, Andrew addresses the tragic death of Renee Good and places it within the broader conflict surrounding ICE operations, immigration policy, and escalating political rhetoric. He explores the fundamental clash between globalist ideology and democratically enacted federal law and explains why disagreement with policy does not justify refusal to enforce it.This episode confronts the role of elected officials and the media in fueling public outrage, undermining law enforcement, and creating an environment where chaos replaces constitutional process. Andrew discusses documented ICE enforcement actions, the legal realities surrounding deportation, and the dangers of incitement when facts are subordinated to narrative.At its core, this is a discussion about democracy itself—how laws are changed, what happens when election results are rejected in practice, and why the erosion of the rule of law threatens public safety and national cohesion.If you are seeking clear-eyed analysis rather than slogans, this episode delivers Smart, Plain Talk on one of the most consequential issues of our time.Support the showThe Andrew Parker Show - Politics, Israel & The Law.

“ICE is the Gestapo.” “Secret police.” “Masked agents kidnapping people into torture dungeons.” Those lies didn't stay on cable news — they turned into real-world violence.

What happens when investigating fraud becomes a crime — but committing it doesn't?

In today's episode, David McKnight breaks down the creditor protection rules for Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s, as well as why more and more Americans are turning to tax-free accounts to insulate themselves from creditors… and the Government itself. In theory, under Federal Law, all IRAs traditional or Roths receive a certain level of bankruptcy protection under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. However, that protection is specifically tied to bankruptcy proceedings. If you're sued in civil court, the Federal bankruptcy statute doesn't automatically apply, state law takes over… By pointing out differences between states like Texas, Arizona and Florida on one end, and California and Montana on the other, David explains that whether your Roth IRA survives a potential lawsuit intact depends largely on the state in which you reside. Roth 401(k)s play by a different set of rules, as they fall under the 1974 Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). David notes that "ERISA is the big Federal law that governs most employer-sponsored retirement plans, and it comes with some of the strongest creditor  protection available anywhere in the financial world."  According to David, it's not hard to see why the Federal Government is going to need huge infusions of new revenue in the very near future. Wondering how they will be raising that capital? By targeting the nearly $45 trillion in tax-deferred retirement accounts like IRAs and 401(k). In other words, while your retirement accounts may indeed be largely immune to lawsuits, they're entirely exposed to the impact of rising tax rates. David points out that contributing to 401(k)s or IRAs is like going into a business partnership with the IRS – every year, they get to vote on what percentage of your profits they get to keep. Remember: a well-planned Roth strategy doesn't just shield you from tomorrow's higher tax rates, it can also serve as a fortress protecting your wealth from outside claims.     Mentioned in this episode: David's new book, available now for pre-order: The Secret Order of Millionaires David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track Tax-Free Income for Life: A Step-by-Step Plan for a Secure Retirement by David McKnight DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)

If You're a Pilot or ATC Struggling Right NowYou're not alone. This episode is for you. There are people fighting to make it safe to get help without sacrificing your identity and your career.“It's going to be faster and easier for us to change federal law than it is for a pilot to get certified with minor to moderate mental health issues.”In this powerful conversation, Ramos Law Director of Aviation Joseph LoRusso sits down with Chris Finlayson, United Airlines A320 pilot and Executive Director of the Pilot Mental Health Campaign (PMHC), to talk about one of aviation's biggest open secrets: pilots and air traffic controllers are afraid to seek mental health care.They break down:- Why so many pilots wait until they're in crisis before getting help- How FAA medical rules and the 8500 form create a “catch-22” that can turn honesty into a felony- The Mental Health and Aviation Act and Aviation Medication Transparency Act. What they actually do and why they matter- The shocking reality that it was faster to move a bill through the U.S. House than for one pilot to get FAA-certified on treatment- The human cost: long COVID, anxiety, depression, divorce, burnout, and crashes in an industry built on professionalism and safety- Why untreated mental health is a bigger safety risk than allowing pilots to proactively seek care- How pilots, ATC, and the FAA can move from fear and silence to partnership and transparency

A federal law enforcement operation at a St. Paul manufacturer prompted a large response by observers and protesters on Tuesday morning.Federal agents wearing clothing marked “FBI,” “DEA” and “HSI” — Homeland Security Investigations, part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — were seen at Bro-Tex Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of cloth and paper wipes. It was not immediately clear what prompted the operation. MPR News host Nina Moini spoke to reporter Estelle Timar-Wilcox, who was on the scene.

Last month, former Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi suggested that local and state authorities in California, a sanctuary state, could arrest federal agents for enforcing federal immigration law, saying that while “the president may enjoy absolute immunity courtesy of his rogue Supreme Court, those who operate under his orders do not.” The former speaker, as well as other mayors and governors who see fit to nullify federal law, should take a moment and reread the supremacy clause of the U.S. Constitution, which “details that local state authorities are subject to treaties and the laws that the federal government makes. And, therefore, pursuant to those laws, they are subordinate,” argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” “We know in 1961-63, we had another attempt to nullify the supremacy clause. Southern governors in Mississippi and Arkansas and Alabama said, 'Federal law does not apply here. The Supreme Court ruling does not apply here. In our opinion, we can run our schools the way local people want. And we're gonna resist you.' The Eisenhower, and then later the Kennedy administration, said, 'No, you're not. We have the federal government's military, and we can federalize and hold you in contempt and arrest you because of the supremacy clause.'"

Erika Sanzi joins the podcast to discuss the urgent need for states and school districts to undertake “legal housekeeping” and stop violating federal laws. She shares examples of school board policies that hide information from parents, discriminate based on race and sex, and prove that indoctrination in schools is pervasive, and not just limited to […]
