Jon blends personal reflection with urgent civic questions as Fargo braces for winter — both literal and political.

Fresh off cataract surgery and navigating life at 61, John shares what it means to enter a season of “body maintenance,” grandfatherhood, and gratitude. But the heart of the show turns sharply toward the streets, where protests, ICE enforcement, and growing fear are colliding across the region.

John digs into the rules of engagement for ICE, questioning how enforcement is being carried out, where oversight has gone missing, and why everyday U.S. citizens — including friends, family, and business owners — are feeling the impact. From constitutional rights and lawful protest to political accountability and moral responsibility, this episode challenges listeners across the spectrum to step out of partisan talking points and confront what’s happening in real time.

Thoughtful, frustrated, hopeful, and unfiltered, this is a call to stay informed, stay human, and remember that if it hasn’t reached your door yet, it might soon.
