ANTI-ICE Group Storms St. Paul Church! | IT STARTS NOW w/ Professor Penn & Mike Wiener | EP272

Episode #272 of  @professorpennpodcast  This episode covers the storming of a Saint Paul church during anti-ICE protests and features a candid conversation with Minnesota State Representative Mike Wiener. Mike shares the history of his district as former DFL territory, what it is truly like working inside the chambers, and why he approaches the role focused on preparation and responsibility rather than politics-as-usual, even amid deep polarization. With the February 3 caucus approaching, he explains why citizens must show up, announces his decision to run for Senate under a self-imposed two-term limit, and outlines how ordinary people can get involved and regain real influence. The discussion closes with tough questions about faith and governance, rising civil tensions in Minnesota, and Mike’s decision to file articles of impeachment against Tim Walz, including what led him to take that step.
