Joe Oltmann Untamed | Tevi Troy | Government Transparency, Dearborn | 11.19.25

Today on Joe Oltmann Untamed, guest host Patrick fills in for Joe and interviews presidential historian and former HHS Deputy Secretary Tevi Troy, who breaks down how past administrations handled power struggles between the White House, federal agencies, and major industries. Troy connects historical precedent to today’s battles over national security, public health policy, and executive authority.

Then the spotlight turns to Dearborn, where tensions escalated following a high-profile protest led by January 6 figure Jake Lang. Patrick examines the deeper issues behind the clashes — cultural conflict, demographic change, community tensions, and the national debate over assimilation, constitutional rights, and free expression. A series of viral clips from the protest and city council meeting illustrate just how combustible the environment has become, raising serious questions about local governance, law enforcement, and political narratives shaping the moment.
