The CEO Retort Misinformation Watch: ICE committed a crime, turning the US into a permanent state of emergency!
Scott Lucas returns to help us break down the ICE actions in Minneapolis that descended America into a permanent state of emergency, and how this fits into Trump's escalating global tensions.
After what felt like a whirlwind of a week, Scott Lucas returned to help us unravel the ongoing state of emergency that seems to have become America’s new normal.
The situation with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) in Minneapolis is a mess, to say the least, after Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen, mother of three, and poet, was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on January 7, 2026.
Scott and I also touched on Venezuela and Greenland, where the geopolitical chaotic chess game is in full swing. The Trump administration’s moves are insane, but are they sustainable?
