In this Season Premiere episode, I dive into the tumultuous political landscape of 2026, expressing frustration over the current state of affairs, particularly regarding immigration laws and public reactions to federal enforcement actions. I critique the lack of common sense among those who engage in protests and confrontations with law enforcement, arguing that many of the issues stem from individuals not staying home and interfering with federal operations. I make reference to various U.S. codes and historical immigration policies, highlighting the inconsistency in public opinion based on political affiliations. I also emphasize the importance of understanding the law and the consequences of actions taken during protests, suggesting that many conflicts could be avoided if people simply refrained from intervening in federal matters.

The price of gas and energy intertwine into the price of everything in our lives. No matter what we're talking about, energy plays a role in its price. Recent travels for Thanksgiving helped to prove that more than ever for me. I discuss all of it today.
