Mike zeroes in on anti-ICE protests and asks why they’re overwhelmingly driven by affluent white liberals while Black and Hispanic communities stay away. He breaks down a viral confrontation outside a federal courthouse, calling out media spin that downplays agitator behavior and rewrites what’s plainly visible on video. Mike also traces how Democrats once openly supported deporting criminal illegals before flipping into outright hostility toward ICE under Trump. The episode argues the outrage isn’t about enforcement tactics—it’s about refusing to accept the election outcome and the rule of law.

Mike pushes back against left-wing claims surrounding the shooting of Renee Good, calling out what he says is blatant gaslighting and dishonest media narratives. He zeroes in on Ilhan Omar’s comments, arguing they ignore clear video evidence and undermine basic law enforcement reality. Mike contends the outrage isn’t really about the shooting, but about advancing the broader goal of stopping immigration enforcement altogether. He frames the moment as a test of whether the right will stay grounded in facts while continuing to defend law and order under constant political pressure.
