Josh opens the show by breaking down the latest developments in President Donald Trump’s push to acquire Greenland, including the announcement of an agreement in principle that would expand the U.S. presence and influence there.
He’s then joined by Florida Lt. Gov. Jay Collins to discuss his run for governor and to push back on misinformation being spread by his opponent.
Josh next turns to the latest out of Minnesota, where Attorney General Pam Bondi is overseeing arrests tied to riots that erupted inside at least one church in the Twin Cities over the weekend.
He closes the show with a cultural reflection on the importance of stay-at-home parents—pushing back against the dismissive attitude toward moms and dads who choose to raise their children full-time, and explaining why their role is foundational to a child’s development.
A massive winter storm is barreling toward the eastern U.S., threatening to bring severe ice and snow from Texas to Boston. Forecasters warn the storm could rival a hurricane in damage to power lines and trees, especially in areas with heavy ice. The storm is expected to start Friday in New Mexico and Texas, moving east through the South and then up the coast into New England. Bitterly cold air could follow, with wind chills dropping to minus-50 degrees Fahrenheit in parts of Minnesota and North Dakota. Utility workers are on alert and supplies like bread and salt are flying off shelves.
Former Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith has defended his investigations of Donald Trump at a public congressional hearing. Smith insisted Thursday he had acted without regard to politics and had no second thoughts about the criminal charges he brought. Smith's two criminal investigations shadowed Trump during his 2024 Republican presidential campaign. Smith testified behind closed doors last month but returned to the House Judiciary Committee for the public hearing. The hearing divided along partisan lines between Republican lawmakers looking to undermine Smith and Democrats hoping to elicit new and damaging testimony about Trump’s conduct in the Washington, D.C., and Florida cases. Trump's administration is targeting the investigators who scrutinized him.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel say three people were arrested after an anti-immigration enforcement protest at a church in Minnesota Sunday.
William Kelly, Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen are in custody.
Protesters entered the Cities Church in St. Paul, where a local official with ICE serves as a pastor. Levy Armstrong called for the pastor affiliated with ICE to resign.
Attorney General Pam Bondi says a woman who led an anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church has been arrested. Bondi announced the arrest of Nekima Levy Armstrong in a post on X on Thursday. On Sunday, protesters entered the Cities Church in St. Paul, where a local official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement serves as a pastor. Bondi said later a second person was also arrested. The group interrupted services by chanting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good,” referring to the 37-year-old mother of three who was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis this month. Levy Armstrong, a civil rights attorney and prominent local activist, had called for the pastor affiliated with ICE to resign.
The U.S. Army has ordered several dozen additional active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minneapolis as protests continue over the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement crackdown.
Defense officials say members of an Army military police brigade stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, have received “prepare-to-deploy” orders, meaning they must be ready to move if needed to support civil authorities. About 1,500 active-duty soldiers from the Army’s 11th Airborne Division based in Alaska have also received similar standby orders.
Officials stressed that such orders are routine and do not necessarily mean the troops will be sent — they are precautionary measures in case unrest escalates.
The move follows weeks of protests in Minneapolis tied to federal immigration enforcement operations that began after a fatal confrontation between an ICE agent and a local resident. President Trump previously threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act — a seldom-used law that would allow active-duty forces to support domestic law enforcement — but later said it wasn’t needed at this time.
Local leaders, including Minnesota’s governor and Minneapolis’s mayor, have urged calm and discouraged the deployment of additional federal troops, saying civilian law enforcement and community engagement are the path toward restoring stability.
