VA vs Brendan Banfield is heating up as we enter a week where Banfield may testify and the defense will likely rest its case. This will shift the trial back to the prosecution for a rebuttal. Today, we will discuss whether or not Banfield will or should testify, and we'll talk more about the what the digital forensics are or are not telling us. Is there reasonable doubt? Or has the prosecution proven their case already?

We then shift our conversation to ICE in Minnesota. After recent highly publicized events in Minnesota, is Governor Walz promoting peace or pushing a false narrative to get people angry? We talk about ICE operations from a legal and moral perspective, and we discuss what one thing that isn't being done would give everyone peace of mind regarding the recent ICE-involved incidents.
