1:00:40Now PlayingHow the Alex Pretti Killing Changed Everything — with Ryan McConaghy & Mark Jacob. We break down how President Donald Trump has abruptly change course as Americans' views shifted since the fatal shooting of Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents — an incident that ignited protests, sparked bipartisan calls for investigation, and forced a dramatic pivot in national politics.
👉 I’m joined by Ryan McConaghy — returning guest and Congressional expert (as featured last week) — to walk through the shifting narrative and what it really means for immigration policy, DHS funding, and public opinion.
👉 Also with us is former Chicago Tribune / Chicago Sun-Times editor Mark Jacob, who will unpack how the media has been covering the story, the power of visuals, and how coverage has escalated the political response.
We’ll discuss:
• How Democrats quickly adjusted course and began opposing further Homeland Security appropriations in light of public backlash and national outrage.
• What’s changed in the national mood — from protests across Minnesota and beyond to pressure on the White House and Congress.
• Why President Trump signaled a personnel shift, sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to try to restore calm and reframe federal operations.
• What it means that bipartisan figures — including some Republicans — are now openly calling for a transparent investigation and oversight.
This is must-see coverage on how one event has rippled into policy battles, media framing wars, and the 2026 political landscape.
