Summary
First, they break down the theatrics from Tuesday’s House immigration hearing, where Democrats grilled ICE Director Todd Lyons over enforcement actions. New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver went so far as to ask Lyons whether he believed he was going to Hell for ICE’s policies. Jim notes the absurdity of her questions and the massive double standard Democrats emply on matters of faith.
Next, they scratch their heads as the Federal Aviation Administration orders a 10-day clearance of air space around El Paso, Texas. But a few hours later, the order was lifted. At the time Jim and Greg recorded, the official explanation was the incursion of a drone from a Mexican cartel. Since then the explanations have only gotten more strange.
Finally, they comment on the insanity of California's "jock tax" which cost Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold roughly $71,000 more than he earned for winning the game. Jim and Greg discuss how extreme this policy is and how these sorts of laws could impact the success of certain teams down the road.

| 0:17.5 | A lot to get to today. |
| 0:18.7 | But Jim, we got to start with the fireworks yesterday up on Capitol Hill. |
| 0:22.4 | The House was holding oversight hearings on immigration policy, and the director of ICE was there, |
| 0:28.6 | Todd Lyons. |
| 0:29.8 | So you know you'd get some good information from him, and you knew you'd get all sorts of |
| 0:33.6 | theatrics from the Democrats, given all we've seen and all the controversies we've |
| 0:37.1 | had with ICE enforcement over the last several weeks, especially in Minnesota. So first of all, |
| 0:42.9 | real quick, let's get to what Todd Lyons had to say about what ICE has accomplished in the first |
| 0:47.5 | year of the Trump administration. Since the beginning of the second Trump administration, |
| 0:51.3 | we have achieved historic results. From January 20th, |
| 0:54.8 | 2025 through January 20, 20, 26, ISIS conducted nearly 379,000 arrests. Among those arrests were |
| 1:03.4 | more than 7,000 suspected gang members and over 1,400 known as suspected terrorists. |
| 1:09.6 | And so that's really good. |
| 1:11.2 | And those people are off our streets. |
| 1:13.5 | But of course, the Democrats wanted their viral moment |
| 1:16.8 | and a lot of them tried. |
| 1:17.9 | Eric Swalwell tried to ask lines if he would resign. |
| 1:21.5 | He very deftly handled that. |
