Thanks, June and home for joining us this hour.

Really happy to have you here.

If things look a little bit different tonight, if the, like, lighting seems different,

the background looks a little different.

That is because I'm joining you from somewhere. I almost never am. I'm in Los Angeles right now. I was here in L.A. last night. We had a big event at the Orphium Theater in downtown L.A. with some of the people who helped us make my new podcast, Burn Order,

which is about the

decision to incarcerate Japanese Americans during World War II and the people who fought

that decision and the thriller, the investigative thriller at the heart of that.

All six episodes of Burn Order are now out. The whole thing is out. Everything's posted.

Free to listen to the whole series on any podcast app. Here in L.A., there's a lot going on.

There is, honestly, a lot of shock and anger from all sorts of different people, from people connected

to show business and not.

Shock and anger about the murder of beloved actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife.

I will say also a lot of just visceral revulsion about President Trump's ghoulish, really ugly, disgusting comments sneering at Mr. Reiner's death,

almost seeming to celebrate his murder. In L.A., today is also the day that Donald Trump's

deployment of National Guard troops to this city fell apart.

The federalized National Guard troops were forced to leave L.A. today because of a federal

court order, because what Trump did in deploying them here, according to a judge, was illegal.

We're going to have more to come on both of those stories and much more tonight.

But I want to start somewhere tonight that is much colder than it is here.

Let's start in Minnesota, specifically about 15 miles southwest of Minneapolis.

Because something truly wild just happened there over the weekend.
