As tanks roll into D.C. and protesters flood the streets of LA, Chuck Rocha and Mike Madrid break down the chaos—and the calculated cruelty driving it. Together, they dissect the fear gripping immigrant communities, the optics of waving Mexican flags vs. American ones, and how left-wing agitators are playing right into Trump’s hands.

With brutal honesty and a few wrestling metaphors (shoutout to Fritz Von Erich), the duo explores why “Cruelty is the Point” isn’t just a phrase—it’s a political strategy. They tackle Gavin Newsom’s unexpected comeback, the rising Latino vote for the New Jersey Governor's race, and yes… a Texas wrestling tangent.

It’s raw, urgent, and sharply strategic—because the stakes have never been higher.
