Chad Hartman

The opening hour today features two of our favorite recurring segments: Text-a-Topic to kick it all off and our weekly visit with Rena Sarigianopoulos of KARE-11.

She has a stress fracture in her hip, has broken more bones than anyone, and once went to the ER after getting a twirler's baton stuck to her finger. There truly is nobody like Rena Sarigianopoulos.

Chad opens the show with another round of Text-a-Topic and it begins with talk about Keith Ellison and Tim Walz appearing with the House Oversight Committee today in Washington DC.

Chad has plenty on politics and world events today, starting with the war in Iran and calling for President Trump's administration to at least give a straight answer about the need to attack Iran. We also have the usual Tuesday fun with Ask Adam Anything and Jamie Yuccas' appearance. Plus, Lou Raguse joins with his eyewitness details of a contentious morning in the courtroom between US Attorney Dan Rosen and Judge Jeffrey Bryan with threats of contempt charges looming.

Chad opens the hour talking about the threats towards Lisa Demuth and another legislator, calling the threats dangerous and vile. We also discuss the controversy involving Smoothie King employees refusing to serve a Trump supporter and Jamie Yuccas joins to defend against Chad's attacks on cursive writing.

Chad is fine with cursive writing not being taught in Minnesota schools but Jamie Yuccas pushes back with some force.

Chad discusses the harassment and threats Minnesota House Speaker and gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth and another legislator received from a woman in Hugo, calling them sad, vile dangerous.

Chad plays and reacts to audio of Amy Klobuchar questioning Kristi Noem in a Senate hearing today, saying Noem embarrassed herself because she could not admit mistakes by ICE in Minnesota or provide direct answers to questions from Klobuchar or other Senators.

KARE-11 reporter Lou Raguse joins Chad with his firsthand account of a contentious morning in court between US Attorney Dan Rosen and Judge Jeffrey Bryan.

After some fun with Susie Jones during the newscast, Chad opens the show talking about President Trump, Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth all seemingly disagreeing about the reasoning behind attacking Iran when our country did on Saturday. Plus, we have some fun on lighter topics with Adam Carter during Ask Adam Anything.

Adam Carter is back for his regular Tuesday gig of Ask Adam Anything!

Could Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth at least get together and decide on a firm reason we attacked Iran? Chad plays audio from each over the past two days and asks for some clarity from our leaders.

We deviate a bit with Overrated, Underrated or Properly Rated and a visit with Chip Scoggins, but much of the show is devoted to the attacks on Iran kicking off Operation Epic Fury over the weekend. We get excellent contributions on that topic and the many ways it will impact the world from Colonel David Hunt, Aaron David Miller and Patrick De Haan.

Chip Scoggins of the Star Tribune joins for a little sports talk but more on his heartbreaking story of the terror of sextortion that led to tragic suicide of teenager Carter Bremseth. Later, Chad jumps back into Operation Epic Fury in Iran and why the public isn't sold yet on the attacks on Iran.

Plus, Chad reviews some recent headlines stemming from the ICE surge in Minnesota.
