ICE, Protest Shootings & Political Division: A Dad’s Perspective

ICE, Protest Shootings & Political Division: A Dad’s Perspective

This week on World’s Greatest Dad, Neil and Ali tackle one of the hardest conversations we’ve had yet.

With ICE raids escalating, protest-related shootings dominating headlines, and political division at an all-time high, we ask the question every parent is quietly wrestling with: How do you raise good, grounded kids in a country that feels like it’s coming apart?

Ali opens up about speaking out publicly and the backlash that followed. We talk about online toxicity, the moral responsibility of public voices, political violence in America, racism, media manipulation, and the challenge of maintaining hope as fathers.

We also dig into:

  • How (and whether) to talk to your kids about ICE and protest shootings
  • The illusion of neutrality in 2026
  • Why civility feels extinct and whether it ever really existed
  • The danger of political absolutism
  • What history teaches us about moments like this
  • And how to stay sane when social media is designed to enrage you

This isn’t about party politics. It’s about values. It’s about fatherhood. And it’s about what kind of country we’re modeling for our kids.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, conflicted, angry, or unsure what to say...this one’s for you.
