TALK TO ME, TEXT IT

What's happening beneath the surface of today's headlines? From unexpected privacy invasions to dormant sports dynasties and disturbing religious threats, this episode peels back layers on stories that deserve more attention than they're getting.

We dive into the unsettling case of a Massachusetts homeowner who discovered her insurance company was conducting drone surveillance of her property without consent. The company used aerial footage to demand tree limb removal under threat of policy cancellation after a decade-long relationship. This raises profound questions about how technology is redrawing privacy boundaries in America. Would you be comfortable with your insurer flying drones over your home? Many listeners have expressed outrage at this practice, while others wonder about its legality.

The conversation shifts to Troy Aikman's candid assessment of Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys' 30-year Super Bowl drought. The Hall of Fame quarterback questions whether generating headlines and drama has superseded on-field success for America's most valuable sports franchise. With just four playoff victories in three decades and the recent trading of star player Micah Parsons, Cowboys fans are left wondering if championship aspirations remain the priority.

Most disturbing is our examination of an armed threat against a California Catholic monastery. An Alabama man drove across the country with brass knuckles, knives, high-capacity magazines, and body armor after making threats against St. Michael's Abbey. This incident follows other attacks on religious institutions nationwide, highlighting a dangerous pattern targeting faith communities.
