We are watching deeply disturbed young people spiral — and instead of confronting the mental health crisis head-on, we keep arguing about politics. We need to acknowledge what is happening with trans kids shooting up schools, and the underlying causes. These are individuals in profound psychological distress who needed intervention long before violence ever entered the picture.

They need serious, long-term mental health care — therapy, psychiatric evaluation, family involvement, and accountability.

Heidi Harris sits down with the state’s Lieutenant Governor and Marshi Smith, a longtime women’s sports advocate, for a candid discussion on protecting women’s sports and the opportunities they provide. The conversation focuses on the original intent of women’s athletics—to ensure fair competition, safety, and equal opportunity—and how those principles are being challenged today.

Marshi Smith brings the perspective of athletes and advocates who have spent decades fighting for women’s sports, outlining concerns about competitive balance, scholarships, and the long-term impact on girls and young women. The Lieutenant Governor discusses the issue from a policy and governance standpoint, including how state leaders are approaching questions of fairness, Title IX, and the role of legislation versus athletic governing bodies.

Rather than slogans, the discussion centers on real-world consequences, unresolved questions, and the difficulty of navigating an emotionally charged issue while respecting women’s rights and the integrity of female athletics.

Today’s podcast tackles a difficult and timely story from Minnesota through two very different lenses.

A veteran firearms and use-of-force trainer weighs in on the recent shooting, focusing on tactics, decision-making, and what often gets missed in early reporting. And Ira Melhman, Media Director from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, joined me to examine the broader policy and enforcement questions the case raises. Two perspectives, one headline, and a commitment to understanding—not sound bites.
