Soft Targets, TSA Chaos, and America’s Ranch Diplomacy

Fingers Malloy and Sarah Smith dig into a disturbing attack on a Michigan synagogue, the broader danger of soft targets, and the maddening reality that known terror threats still seem to slip through the cracks. They also break down the government shutdown’s impact on TSA, United Airlines cracking down on headphone-free passengers, and why modern air travel feels like public suffering with boarding groups. Plus, Gen Z may be dragging the mall back from the dead, and Hidden Valley Ranch apparently wants to send Americans to Europe to commit condiment-based foreign policy.
