00:00-13:25: Nessel Stops Matt Hall/Venezuela/ICE Shooting
Pat Johnston starts the first show of 2026 by sharing the story of Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel's opinion which called the MAGA Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall's move to block already-approved state spending projects as unconstitutional. Nessel's ruling allows those funds to resume being spent for working class Michiganders. Plus, Pat shares his thoughts on The Trump Regime's attack for Venezuelan oil, and the murder of an American citizen by ICE in Minnesota.
