    Adults have finally entered the room as the Olathe Police Department announces it has taken a juvenile into custody for aggrevated assault for crossing the street to confront a Trump supporter at Olathe Northwest High School.  The videos have now been seen by millions, the dad of the victim is speaking out and most local media are still ignoring a story everyone is talking about.  What a mess our schools and media have become.    The State of the Union is Tuesday night and the President is expected to spend more time on the economy than anything else.  Oh, and it sounds like some hockey players will be there, too.    KU uses two huge runs to pummel Houston at Allen Field House Monday night as Tre White leads the way.  This game says so much about where college basketball is this year.  We have an opinion.    The Chiefs cut defensive lineman Mike Danna and save $9 million off the salary cap, KC's Nate Scheelhaase has become the offensive coordinator of the Rams... it should have been here.  Lyndsay Vaughn says she almost lost her leg after her skiing accident at the Olympics.  Two famous boxers are set to fight again and we've got a penguin at the KC Zoo that's a deadbeat dad.

"I'm much more likely to protest when I feel responsible—when violence is being done in my name." — Bruce RobbinsAs always, the media is full of stories about political protest. A Columbia University Gaza protester held by ICE claims to have been chained to her bed after a seizure. Our friends at FIRE are addressing the right to demonstrate against ICE in a house of worship. Obama is arguing that ICE demonstrators should have the right to demonstrate on the streets of Minneapolis. The US government, meanwhile, cheers protesters on the Iranian streets while cracking down on protesters at home. Today's guest isn't shy at pointing out that contradiction.Bruce Robbins is a professor at Columbia—ground zero for the Gaza encampments of 2024—and his new book Who's Allowed to Protest? argues against those who protest the protesters. Conservatives like David Brooks, Musa al-Gharbi, and others have dismissed campus demonstrators as "spoiled rich kids at elite schools" who are "just doing this to feel morally superior." Robbins points out that the same argument was used against Vietnam protesters in the 60s, against Greta Thunberg's climate activism, and against anyone whose cause appears in any way utopian. This reactionary critique never changes: they're privileged, they're not starving, so ignore their hypocritical whining.What drives people to protest? Robbins says it's a sense of moral responsibility. He confesses that he's much more likely to get off his couch when violence is done in his name—particularly as a Jew or an American. And he makes an interesting broader argument: that the conservative attack on student "elites" dangerously conflates educated elites with moneyed elites. The firefighters in LA were an elite team, he reminds us. Scientists are elites. We need expertise, Columbia's Old Dominion Foundation Professor in the Humanities says. The question is who controls this expert knowledge and who pays for it.I think Bruce Robbins has a point here. But some American student protesters, especially the Gaza crowd, do make themselves vulnerable to critics like Brooks and al-Gharbi. As I suggested to Robbins, if these smart kids at Columbia want to protest, then they should be smart about it. Especially by recognizing the moral complexities of the Palestine-Israel issue and by being able to convincingly explain why they chose to protest this injustice over everything else. About the GuestBruce Robbins is the Old Dominion Foundation Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University. He is the author of Atrocity: A Literary History and numerous other books. His new book is Who's Allowed to Protest? (2026). He succeeded Edward Said in the Old Dominion chair.ReferencesPeople mentioned:●      David Brooks wrote about "America Needing a Mass Movement"—though apparently not an anti-Israel one. Robbins finds his dismissal of protesters hypocritical.●      Musa al-Gharbi is the author of We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite, which Robbins takes issue with.●      Edward Said held the Old Dominion chair before Robbins and was a visible Palestinian presence at Columbia. His office was trashed multiple times and he received death threats.●      Mahmoud Khalil was a Columbia student arrested in his apartment lobby in front of his pregnant wife, jailed for 104 days, released by court order, and is now facing re-arrest.●      Bari Weiss, now head of CBS News, tried to get Palestinian professors fired when she was a Columbia undergraduate, sponsored by the David Project.●      Greta Thunberg faces the same "spoiled rich kids" critique that Gaza protesters face. Robbins sees the same silencing tactic applied to any protest that seems "disinterested."●      Greg Lukianoff and FIRE are mentioned as free speech absolutists.Events mentioned:●      Columbia 1968 preceded May 1968 in Paris. Apparently the Paris students asked Columbia students for advice on what to do after occupying a building.●      The Columbia encampments of April 2024 made the university ground zero for Gaza protest in America.●      Robbins was found guilty by Columbia for taking students to visit the encampment during his class on representations of atrocity.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

A group of armed protesters peacefully marched in downtown Indianapolis Saturday to protest what they call an attack on Second Amendment rights from the Trump administration. State lawmakers may stop the practice of limiting the number of rental houses in a neighborhood. Advocates are urging lawmakers not to support a bill criminalizing Homelessness. Hoosiers could vote this year on whether to allow judges to deny potentially dangerous offenders bail under a constitutional amendment moving through the statehouse.

Protesters around Australia, including Nick McKim and other Greens MPs, gathered to express opposition to the visit of the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog, this week. The Greens senator tells political editor, Tom McIlroy, that the confronting scenes of police aggression towards protesters in Sydney was a “massive overreach”. McKim is the Greens spokesperson for economic justice and treasury, and is now leading a parliamentary inquiry into the 50% capital gains tax discount. Labor has not ruled out possible changes to the generous tax breaks for investors ahead of the May budget. The Tasmanian senator argues that, with Greens' support, the government can “marry up the politics and the policy” to meaningfully addressing the housing crisis

Members of Congress questioned the leaders of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tuesday. MPR News immigration reporter Sarah Thamer listened in for details about the now two-month-long surge of agents in Minnesota and joined MPR News host Nina Moini for an update.

The protesters came in force, but what began peacefully descended into chaos. Around 6,000 people had gathered to condemn the visit to Sydney by the Israeli president but there were violent clashes with police after they were ordered to disperse.Today, law professor Luke McNamara from the University of New South Wales on the new protest laws brought in after the Bondi attack and why he thinks the Labor government has gone too far. Featured: Luke McNamara, Professor in the Faculty of Law and Justice and the University of New South Wales

Protesters have accused police of brutality at last night's rally in Sydney, with NSW Police and the premier arguing officers were put in an "impossible situation" as they attempted to protect Jewish mourners gathered at the nearby International Convention Centre.

1. Super Bowl & Cultural Commentary The discussion opens with dismissive reactions to the Super Bowl halftime show, particularly focusing on Bad Bunny. The Celebrity political signaling is a cultural backlash as exaggerated or performative. Cultural change is being pushed by elites rather than organically embraced. 2. California Tax Policy Critique California’s tax system punishes high earners and visiting performers, especially athletes. Example cited: NFL player bonuses allegedly being taxed at levels exceeding the bonus itself due to “duty day” rules. California is economically self-destructive, encouraging talent and businesses to leave the state. Texas and other low-tax states are contrasted as more economically rational alternatives. 3. “Follow the Money” – DEI & Philanthropy Mellon funding is: Promoting DEI-focused hiring Encouraging identity-based academic disciplines Influencing faculty pipelines from undergraduate fellowships through tenure-track positions This funding results in racial discrimination, ideological conformity, and activist scholarship, rather than academic merit. 4. Transformation of Higher Education Universities are depicted as having shifted from traditional scholarship toward activist-driven ideologies. Fields like military history or classical studies are framed as marginalized, while intersectional or abolitionist studies are favored. Philanthropic foundations are blamed for reshaping academia without democratic accountability. 5. Political Activism & Protest Funding Anti-ICE protests are described as organized, rehearsed, and financially backed, not grassroots. Protesters allegedly admit to being paid, reinforcing the claim that activism is professionally funded. This is framed as evidence of manufactured dissent and coordinated political agitation. 6. Virginia Governance & Immigration Policy Virginia’s Democratic leadership is accused of: Cutting cooperation with ICE Releasing criminal undocumented immigrants Advancing aggressive redistricting reforms These actions are framed as an “assault on democracy” and a warning sign ahead of future elections. There is no longer a meaningful distinction between moderate and radical Democrats. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered his soldiers to kill protesters standing up against the Islamic Regime, knowingly provoking America to act. President Trump sent an Armada and is planning to send reinforcements if Khomeini doesn't come to the table and make a deal. Today Khomeini skipped the annual meeting with army air force commanders for the first time in 37 years. Is it fear of a US strike? At this moment, Iran and America are at an impasse. Who will blink first? In this episode Carole Lieberman, M.D., The Terrorist Therapist®, compares how  protesters in Iran are treated vs. anti-ICE rebels in America. We also look at the ‘war' between the European Union, whose countries are finally taking action to deport radical Islamic migrants, and Iran who retaliates by calling EU armies 'terrorists'. We also look at other hotspots around the world - from Italy to NewYork, and Texas to the UK, reviewing the definitions of terrorist and domestic terrorist, in order to answer the question, “Will the real terrorists please stand up?"

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – When the basics fail—trash removal, emergency response, protection from the cold—ideology collapses under its own weight. The backlash has been swift and loud. Residents who once championed Mamdani's vision are now openly questioning it. Protesters have gathered outside his residence. Conditions that longtime New Yorkers say are the worst they've ever seen...

- Protesters actively obstruct federal agents as they arrest murderers, sex offenders, and gang members, reframing law enforcement as the enemy. - Elected officials and media figures openly justify harassment—and even violence—against masked federal officers doing their jobs. - Families of crime victims watch in disbelief as demonstrators rally to protect the people who destroyed their lives. - Viral activists escalate rhetoric to the point of threatening self-harm and violence, signaling total detachment from reality. - Roger Goodell bows to media pressure, frames race-based hiring as “progress,” and refuses to defend merit in the most results-driven job in sports, even as winning proves his narrative wrong.

As protests against federal immigration agents' use of deadly force in Minneapolis spread nationwide, privacy experts are raising alarms. Immigration agencies are using facial-recognition and other tools to identify immigrants – and to track American citizens who observe or protest ICE operations. The surveillance technology allows agents to scan people's faces and link them to government databases. It's a practice that those targeted say amounts to intimidation and retaliation. We talk about how the technologies work and what they mean for enforcement and civil liberties. Guests: Rachel Levinson-Waldman, director of Liberty and National Security Program, Brennan Center for Justice Sheera Frenkel, technology reporter, The New York Times; co-author, "An Ugly Truth: Inside Facebook's Battle for Domination" Learn more about your ad choices.

Hollywood and the media are in full meltdown mode after Don Lemon's arrest, and the reactions say everything. In this episode, we break down the arrest itself, the media response, and why so many high-profile figures rushed to defend him. From Jane Fonda to Megyn Kelly, Cuomo, Geraldo, and even Nicki Minaj, the fallout quickly spiraled into a cultural and political firestorm. Plus, Melania Trump's box office numbers spark outrage among critics, new Epstein file revelations raise serious questions, and shocking fraud allegations emerge from California hospice centers. The episode also covers growing protests, ICE operations, immigration enforcement, media double standards, Democrat hypocrisy online, and Candace Owens' latest controversy — all while political memes and viral moments continue to dominate the conversation.00:00 Intro00:40 Groundhog Day02:50 Worst Grammys outfits07:05 Billie Eilish & Trevor Noah push radical narratives10:25 Ricky Gervais calls out Hollywood10:50 Ad – Lean12:30 Melania Trump box office numbers & Hollywood backlash15:35 Detransition lawsuit wins $2M judgment17:05 Bill Gates named in Epstein file dump18:50 Ruthless Podcast with Scott Bessent21:15 California hospice fraud exposed22:55 Ad – BonCharge25:00 Speaker Johnson optimistic on midterms27:45 Don Lemon arrested – fallout & media reaction34:00 Jane Fonda defends Lemon35:40 Trump responds to Lemon arrest39:00 Don Lemon's past controversies resurface41:10 Cuomo, Megyn Kelly & Geraldo pile on49:45 Nicki Minaj roasts Don Lemon52:00 Democrat hypocrisy on X54:50 Trump on immigration enforcement55:50 New NJ governor meltdown58:15 Protesters set up blockades & ID checks01:00:10 ICE agents & Alex Pretti incident01:01:15 Seattle police push back on radical mayor01:06:00 Political memes & Trump retweets critics01:09:05 Candace Owens vs Erika Kirk & Israel comments01:13:50 Piers Morgan reacts to Candace backlash01:18:35 Candace mocked online01:20:30 Culture & TikTokSUPPORT OUR SPONSORS TO SUPPORT OUR SHOW!Lose meaningful weight healthily with LEAN—get 20% off at https://TakeLean.com using code CHICKS.

We are waking up to some tough rhetoric coming from President Trump this morning! And he’s not the only one. In addition to Trump warning protesters and telling Democratic cities they will have to say “Please” if they want help in the future, a federal judge has given the White House a verbal spanking, ruling the administration must release little 5 year old Liam Ramos and his father after they were detained by ICE last week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2. Minneapolis Situation & ICE Confrontations A. Escalating Conflict Recent fatal confrontations between civilians and ICE agents in Minneapolis. Two individuals (not known to be violent criminals) have been killed during encounters. Host urges toning down rhetoric from both political sides to prevent further escalation. B. Comparison Between Texas and Minnesota Texas sees far more ICE arrests but fewer violent confrontations. Reasons suggested: Texas law enforcement cooperates with ICE. Minnesota politicians (governor/mayor) allegedly encourage public confrontation with ICE. C. Violent Protest Structure Minneapolis protests are organized, funded, and oper­ated similarly to military groups. Reports mentioned: Surveillance operations against law enforcement Protesters allegedly sabotaging vehicles and physically attacking officers Autonomous‑zone style barricades forming in some areas 3. Responsibility & Advice Regarding Police Encounters Do not escalate encounters with law enforcement. Entering a protest with a firearm greatly increases danger for everyone involved. Legal principles discussed: Lethal force is justified if officers reasonably believe there is a threat. Officers cannot shoot fleeing suspects unless they pose serious immediate danger. 4. Media Narratives & Political Messaging A. Suburban Women as Target Audience Democrats viewed as shaping narratives (e.g., “ICE shoots mother of three,” “ICE detains 5‑year‑old”) to emotionally influence suburban voters. Hosts argue some widely publicized stories were misleading or false. B. Claims of Political Motives Democrats are using these incidents to distract from: A major Minnesota fraud scandal involving billions of dollars. Each new confrontation diverts media attention from that scandal. 5. Anticipated Government Shutdown A. Democrat Position Multiple Democratic leaders publicly oppose funding DHS/ICE at current levels. Statements from Senators (Schumer, Warren, Murphy) emphasize refusal to pass DHS funding bill without ICE restrictions. B. Hosts’ Conclusion They expect a government shutdown, driven by attempts to: Defund or weaken ICE Appeal to progressive voters Control political narrative ahead of elections Shutdown would affect agencies not yet funded (e.g., Defense, Labor, Education, HHS, HUD, DHS).

Americans divide over ICE action in Minneapolis as Democrats and protesters ramp up their chaotic behavior; as the US threatens Greenland, geopolitics reshapes the map; and President Trump says it's time for the Iranian regime to go.
