In this episode, Jon Decker breaks down the national fallout from the Minneapolis shooting involving federal agents, including intense public protests and bipartisan calls for accountability after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by Border Patrol officers — the second controversial use of force in the city this month.

Against this backdrop, Decker unpacks the escalating battle over federal funding in Congress, where disagreements over Homeland Security and ICE budgets are pushing the U.S. toward a potential government shutdown.

Finally, Jon analyzes how President Trump’s economic messaging — aimed at shoring up support ahead of the midterm elections — intersects with both national security rhetoric and domestic policy priorities.
