Summary

🎙️ No better start to a Friday than the fallout from the church disruption in Minnesota, and for once, we actually get the kind of consequences we hoped for. We talk through the arrests, the perp walks, and the sheer audacity of watching people try to rewrite what happened in Minneapolis. However, there is a continued refusal to bring charges against Don Lemon. We go through what it says about Minnesota’s political rot, what it says about activist media, and why this whole “I’m just reporting” act falls apart when the so-called journalist is obviously part of the operation. 🫏 We saved this for your Friday: Krysten Sinema getting dragged into a divorce filing that reads like a political thriller written by a horny screenwriter. We get into the alleged affair, the weird trips, the gifts, the encrypted messaging, the drugs, and the “this can’t be real” details that somehow keep piling up. It’s messy, it’s ridiculous, and it’s exactly the kind of story that makes you wonder how anyone in Washington functions in public at all.️ 🏠 Then, we sit down with HUD Secretary Scott Turner to discuss housing, homelessness, and disaster recovery. He tells Ashbrook that HUD uncovered $1.9 billion in misplaced funds and moved to return those dollars to the Treasury. Turner also explains why they cut contracts, including $4 million in DEI-related contracts. 00:00 - Crime, punishment, and chaos 04:10 - It’s perp walk season 05:58 - Activist goes on CNN and tries to rewrite the story 10:07 - Another perp walk: “Da Woke Farmer” gets arrested 15:47 - Activists + media collusion 19:44 - Krysten Sinema scandal is totally wild 28:15 - Divorce filing details: affair allegations and power dynamics 37:30 - MDMA, “boring” missionary talk, and peak absurdity 47:33 - Variety with a great pic and taking a whale ride 57:49 - HUD Secretary Scott Turner Our Sponsors: ➢Go to https://zbiotics.com/RUTHLESS and use RUTHLESS at checkout for 15% off any first time orders of ZBiotics probiotics. ➢Tell Washington it's time to end middlemen markups and put American patients first.
