Federal Force, State Resistance, and the Fear of Civil War

This week on the show: I share an honest update on my latest progress in law school and the exciting possibility of teaching college part-time next semester. Then we dig into some of the biggest, most polarizing stories dominating the national conversation — from the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis and the massive protests it’s sparked, to fierce debates about federal vs. state authority and Minnesota’s National Guard response. We ask: Are we really on the brink of deeper civil conflict in America? We also unpack: The fall from grace of famed Christian author Philip Yancey News on mortgage rates and whether they’re finally cooling Rumors and political drama around Governor Tim Walz resigning or relying on the Guard A Philadelphia DA warning federal law enforcement over jurisdiction clashes Allegations of billions in fraud in Minnesota A curious Trump Greenland headline Is Iran nearing collapse? And a lighter, inspiring tale of a man who taught English in Vietnam for 10 years. It’s a blend of personal growth, national tension, and global intrigue — the news, context, and perspective you didn’t know you needed this week.
