Hour 2 examines the explosive fallout from Cea Weaver’s appointment as New York City’s tenant‑protection chief, charting how her past rhetoric, ideological record, and critics’ accusations collided with Mayor Mamdani’s unapologetically socialist agenda to ignite a political firestorm.

Hour 2: The Cea Weaver Controversy | Mike Radoor on Discipline, Accountability, and Rebuilding Your Life

Episode 80 begins with a look at the fatal shooting of Renee Good during a massive ICE sweep in Minneapolis, tracing the clash between federal claims of self‑defense and local leaders’ accusations of reckless force and political spin. It’s become a case study in how video evidence, legal standards, and dueling narratives collide in a city already scarred by past policing crises, leaving the public split over accountability, intent, and truth. The hour ends with an interview featuring Dr. Monica Vermani, one of Canada’s highest‑rated clinical psychologists and the author of A Deeper Wellness, whose multi‑disciplinary approach to trauma, anxiety, and emotional wellbeing has guided patients for more than 25 years.

Hour 2 opens with Jasmine Crockett’s explosive entry into the 2026 Texas Senate race — a launch that sent Republicans into gleeful theatrics, Democrats into strategic panic, and the political class into full‑body vibration as her unfiltered style becomes the story. The hour then digs into the polling, the party‑wide implications, and James Carville’s blistering critique, revealing a race that’s as much about the future of Democratic identity as it is about Texas politics. The show wraps with an interview featuring Fred Voccola, CEO of Simpro Group and a veteran technology entrepreneur, who is the author of The Coming Disruption, where he argues that artificial intelligence will fundamentally reorder organizational structures and redefine modern leadership. Drawing on decades leading global tech firms, he lays out a blunt, practical roadmap for how AI‑First companies will outpace legacy models — and what leaders must do now to stay competitive.
