This episode covers ICE activity in Minneapolis and the shooting of Renée Good, the local fallout including resignations, and broader reactions. We also discuss reports that Venezuelan oil funds moved to Qatar and the Pentagon’s plan to integrate an AI chatbot into classified systems.
Plus: bizarre crime stories (a woman arrested with a bag labeled "definitely not a bag full of drugs," and a physician assistant who tried to bribe police and was later found with cocaine), an "Am I the Asshole?" about cussing at a Costco line-cutter, listener comments, and the hosts' usual banter.

This episode of West of Knowhere digs into the week’s biggest headlines: the U.S. operation in Venezuela and questions about fentanyl and oil, state crackdowns on SNAP purchases and the food-stamp debate, and the rise of AI-generated content that makes the internet untrustworthy.
Along the way the hosts riff on pop culture, controversial viral moments, a parenting 'Am I the Asshole' dilemma about choosing a daughter’s game over a funeral, and thank listeners and supporters. Expect blunt takes, dark humor, and off-the-cuff rants.

This episode of West of Knowhere covers the latest Epstein document release, including emails that raise questions about sexual images tied to high‑profile figures and the resulting fallout between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump, plus criticism of Megyn Kelly’s comments.
We also discuss two AI stories—a Louisiana middle school incident where a girl punched a boy over AI‑generated images, and a controversial app that creates chatty avatars of deceased relatives—followed by a shocking report about people allegedly paying to hunt civilians during the Bosnian War.
Finally, the hosts debate an “Am I the Asshole” case about improving sign language while befriending a deaf classmate, thank supporters, and offer their usual offbeat commentary.
