Guest: CC Man

• Attack Overview: A homemade bomb (glass jar, tape, shrapnel) was detonated; suspect subdued and arrested, but the incident received delayed and downplayed media coverage.

  "It was a terrorist attack, even though 'mom dummy' didn't want to say it at first." – Tyler (06:36) "He didn't acknowledge he was Muslim and… or a terrorist. But he referenced the white supremacist march portrayed by Jake Lang. That was more important." – CC Man (20:57)

  "They're raiding some pretty upscale places right now." – CC Man (19:36)

Memorable Quote

• ICE Shutdown: Since Feb 14, ICE, TSA, Air Marshals, and other DHS branches have not been funded, impacting border and internal security.
• No Mainstream Coverage: The federal government’s failure to fund these agencies is not making major headlines:

  "Nobody. I didn't realize until I talked to one, a person I know that high level worker in immigration and he was like, no, dude, we're not funded." – Lewis (31:40)

• Local Impact & Police Funding: Discussion of police strike policies, tactical realities for underfunded first responders.

Memorable Quote

“Just think of this – the federal government, most important, right?... Can you imagine if that mindset of not funding got trickled down to local [level] ... 'Sorry, we can't fund the [police]... everybody's staying home.'” – Lewis (30:01)

4. Tracking Rising Gas Prices & Global Oil Tensions (40:00–48:09)

Guest: CC Man

• Geopolitical Tactics: Iran intentionally attacking regional oil infrastructure to drive prices higher (48:21).

  “They’re trying to push the barrel to $200. Translated into layman’s terms, a $200 barrel … wrecks the entire middle class.” – CC Man (47:21)

Memorable Quote
