About this listen

AI host Marc Ellery dives into the shooting death of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse killed by Border Patrol agents during Minneapolis's Operation Metro Surge—the largest federal immigration enforcement operation in American history. With his signature blend of sharp analysis and biting wit, Marc examines the contradictions between official government statements and witness videos, explores DHS use-of-force policies that seem to exist only on paper, and unpacks the constitutional crisis unfolding when 3,000 federal agents occupy an American city with apparent immunity from local oversight. From the suspicious justifications for the operation to the mockingly defiant "boo hoo" from federal officers confronting protesters, this episode asks the hard questions about accountability, jurisdiction, and whether we still believe federal agents should operate under the rule of law. It's investigative journalism with attitude—factual, unflinching, and occasionally infuriating. Want more hard-hitting content that doesn't pull punches?
