Mike takes aim at Canada after President Trump renames Lake Ontario “Lake America,” asking whether the move is another shot across the bow in the growing fight over trade, tariffs, and a Canadian government that seems determined to push back. He also questions why Canada’s public broadcaster would instruct journalists not to call 9/11 a “terrorist attack” as America prepares to mark the 25th anniversary of the attacks. Mike then digs into the growing backlash against data centers, arguing that Americans are being manipulated by misinformation—including alleged Chinese influence online—while overlooking the jobs, infrastructure, and economic benefits these facilities can bring to struggling communities. From data centers to Flock cameras, Mike challenges the latest waves of outrage and asks whether Americans are thinking for themselves or simply falling for the narratives being pushed at them.
