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.
