CBP reads Thomas’s books, Miami politicians fight over a microphone next to a plane crash, Florida schools simultaneously fear books and embrace AI, and somehow Hunter Biden has a meme coin. It’s embarrassments all the way down.

The boys are back, and Thomas has returned from Egypt and Turkey with a souvenir he definitely didn’t ask for: a two-hour detention and interrogation by Customs and Border Protection at Miami International Airport.

Thomas recounts being flagged for secondary inspection, questioned about his travels and political activity, grilled over books about Palestine and Iran, and eventually forced to surrender his phone to CBP agents. The crew talks about the extraordinary powers border authorities wield, whether Tomas was specifically targeted, and the broader chilling effect of government scrutiny on political speech.

Then it’s on to another disaster at Miami International: the deadly Amazon cargo-plane crash that killed five workers and the astonishing political squabble that followed as Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava’s staff and Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz apparently battled over who should speak first at the press conference. Join us as we try to comprehend how an actual aviation tragedy became the backdrop for a made-for-Miami fight over cameras, protocol and political turf.
