    Greg Gutfeld: Dems don't want this toxic question

    A huge thank you to all the Sean Spicer Show watchers and listeners who pre ordered their copy of my new book. The preorders on Trump 2.0: The Revolution That Will Permanently Transform America have already surpassed Karine Jean Pierre's actual book release. If you haven't already, go and order your copy now, the link is down below. We have an all star panel show today to unpack all things happening in the world of politics. Tensions have boiled over in Minnesota as a Venezuelan man is shot in the leg after attacking ICE agents with a shovel. The Democrats have changed their tune slightly on the anti-ICE messaging but on the ground in Minnesota Governor Walz and Mayor Frey are still riling people up with their rhetoric. President Trump's truth post called out corrupt politicians and lawlessness in Minnesota . Our panel weighs in on what the tipping point is before President Trump institutes the Insurrection Act. Reagan Reese broke the story on the State department freezing all immigration from Somali after Nick Shirley blew the lid off the fraud taking place within the Somali community. A 'woke' OBGYN was unable to answer 'can a man have a baby?' after being asked over a dozen times by Senator Josh Hawley. Our panel remembers Dilbert creator Scott Adams who was 'cancelled' after bravely and boldy supporting President Trump and America First policies. RFK Jr. and Secretary Rollins deliver a big win for MAHA and children's nutrition by bringing whole milk back to schools. It's Thursday, which means our panel has this week's winners and losers.
