Tune in to "The TMI Show" with hosts Ted Rall and Robby West filling in for Manila Chan, currently traveling with a Kyrgyz circus troupe, to catch up on the high-stakes manhunt for Charlie Kirk’s killer.

FBI Director Kash Patel faces intense scrutiny after a premature claim of capturing the suspect, revealing cracks in his leadership.

Former officials warn that recent firings, including top agents like Brian Driscoll and Mehtab Syed, may cripple complex investigations like this one. Can Patel can restore public confidence in the FBI?
