ICE Shooting Fallout | Venezuela Win | the Jobs Report Shock
from Patriot Switchboard · host Harlan Mercer
In today’s episode of Patriot Switchboard, Harlan Mercer breaks down three stories tied together by one theme: whether America still has the will to enforce the law, win decisively, and stand united when it counts. First, the Minneapolis ICE operation that turned deadly and the political scramble to control the narrative, including why a vehicle can be a deadly weapon and what the real deadly-force standard is. Next, Trump’s Venezuela win and the immediate push in Washington to argue in public instead of closing ranks, with a warning about what that kind of division signals to Russia and China. Finally, the jobs report and the Fed’s next move and why it matters to your mortgage, your retirement, and the cost of living.
