A woman arrived at a Trump rally wearing a shirt that read, “Release the Epstein Files.” She shouted her demand, and the confrontation turned physical. President Trump called the person being removed a paid protester. But the protester was a woman, and no evidence has been established that she was paid. That is not even the central issue. What is clear is that she wore the shirt, was punched in the face, had her hair pulled, and was dragged down by men in the crowd. Even if she came to provoke the crowd or disrupt the event, that does not justify grown men attacking her. The video shows three men involved, and some later boasted online about what they did. Security eventually intervened, but the woman was escorted out while the men who appeared to attack her remained inside. We need the complete context: what happened before and after the clip, and whether everyone involved was treated equally. As of now, it does not appear that any of the men were arrested. Neither was the protester. You can find her disruptive. You can suspect she was paid. Neither claim makes repeated punches to the face acceptable. Law and order cannot depend on which political team someone supports.

IS TRUMP’S MOST POWERFUL GATEKEEPER ABOUT TO LOSE HER JOB? Susie Wiles became the first woman to serve as White House chief of staff. Now reports say Trump has asked allies whether it is time to replace her. The White House denies it, and Trump says Wiles has his “complete confidence.” But speculation matters in Trump’s Washington. Wiles helped build the 2024 campaign’s media strategy, from headline-grabbing stunts to a constant fight for the news cycle. Trump called her the “most powerful woman in the world,” saying she could “destroy and take out a country with one phone call.” She became the White House gatekeeper: controlling access, managing staff, and limiting and promoting leaks. She has also outlasted every previous Trump chief of staff. Priebus lasted six months. Kelly lasted 17. Mulvaney served 15 months as acting chief. Meadows lasted under 10. Wiles has served nearly 21 months. But gatekeeping has a downside. A line separates running a disciplined operation from controlling what the president hears. That question followed Joe Kent’s March resignation as director of the National Counterterrorism Center. Kent argued Trump had been misled about Iran and claimed Tehran posed no imminent threat. No official evidence shows Wiles blocked Kent’s intelligence. But as chief of staff, she sits at the center of the question: does Trump hear every side before deciding on war? Wiles also advised Benjamin Netanyahu’s 2020 reelection campaign and spent years at Ballard Partners, a lobbying firm with a Tel Aviv office that represented companies reported to have ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Her potential replacements reportedly include Stephen Miller, Randy Levine, Steve Witkoff, Bill Pulte, and Kevin McCarthy. Trump may wait until after the midterms to make a change. But if Republicans suffer major losses, pressure to shake things up will grow. Trump praises Wiles for imposing order. But he has never liked being managed. If Wiles is out, was she the adviser who pulled Trump away from MAGA, and what happens to the final two years of his presidency? Noel Fritsch from National File joins me to discuss.

LEAKED FOOTAGE THAT DESTROYS THE OFFICIAL OCTOBER 7 STORY For years, Americans were given a highly sanitized account of October 7: Israel’s heavily funded military and intelligence apparatus allegedly failed for hours while Hamas killed and abducted Israelis. Now, new footage and reporting are raising tougher questions about what happened behind the scenes. The Hannibal Directive. A policy aimed at preventing captures, even at the risk of killing Israeli captives, was once dismissed as a conspiracy. But evidence and investigations now indicate it was used on October 7. The burned vehicles, destroyed homes, and devastating loss of life later used to justify Israel’s genocide in Gaza include damage caused by Israeli forces themselves. A new documentary shows senior Israeli officials discussing a large-scale Hannibal operation in real time. In the first hours of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, an officer speaking with Police Chief Kobi Shabtai is heard calling for the directive’s implementation, with Gaza and Israeli captives still inside. Minister Itamar Ben Gvir later appears to order the camera shut off. Shortly before his assassination, Charlie Kirk asked whether Israel had issued a stand-down order on October 7, questioning how it took hours to respond and warning Gaza could face ethnic cleansing. The footage does not settle every question, but it makes clear that those questions were never out of bounds.

The decision by ABC, CNN, and NBC not to carry President Trump’s primetime address on election security raises a fundamental question about the role of major broadcast networks in a democracy. This was a nationally announced speech by a sitting, duly elected president on the integrity of U.S. elections. An issue that affects every voter, regardless of party. This is not about liking or disliking Trump, or agreeing or disagreeing with his claims. The presidency is the highest elected office in the country. When a president addresses the nation in a formal, scheduled primetime speech, there is a strong public‑interest argument that news networks should air it live and in full. Citizens can’t evaluate their leaders, or their claims, if they aren’t allowed to hear those leaders directly. Editorial judgment and criticism remain essential. Networks are entirely within their rights to add clear disclaimers before and after the address, fact‑check in real time or immediately afterward, host panels that challenge, contextualize, or rebut the president’s statements. But substituting that for the speech itself, showing only handpicked clips, summaries, or commentary, shifts from informing the public to curating what the public is permitted to see. At that point, viewers are reacting to the networks’ framing, not to the president’s actual words. Even after being censored in the U.S., having its license revoked and facing sanctions, RT International chose to air the address in full. RT has publicly disagreed with the president’s policies and with parts of this speech, but it treated the event as a matter of public record. Our principle is simple: viewers should be able to watch the complete address in context, hear the arguments unedited, and then weigh both the speech and the subsequent criticism for themselves. Rather than having corporate media gatekeepers decide in advance which presidential messages are fit for broadcast.

10 years ago Pizzagate was by far the number one trending topic on twitter, but the claim of pedophile elites who preyed on children was so insane that Pizzagate was shrugged off as was a wild, fever dream, of a conspiracy theory. But then, just days ago… the largest dump of Epstein files revealed what some of us had been telling you for a decade, that Pizzagate is real. Not that there is a pizza parlor at the center of a child trafficking ring. But child trafficking rings run by some of the most powerful people in the world do exist. Tonight , I want to remind you of what I told you then and compare that to what we have now learned.

THE IRAN WAR IS STALLED. IS PETE HEGSETH ABOUT TO BE SACRIFICED? President Trump now says the U.S. may have gone too far by targeting Iran’s leadership because Washington no longer knows who it can negotiate with. Seven months into the war, 81 U.S. aircraft have been lost or damaged, at least 21 service members have been killed, and 865 wounded. Billions have been spent, yet no clear path to victory remains. The strategy was simple: remove Iran’s leadership and force collapse. It failed. Iran hardened, more hardline figures rose, and Trump now admits the U.S. may have eliminated the people needed to end the conflict. If the intelligence behind the leadership strikes was wrong, what else is Washington getting wrong? Trump says China and Russia are not significantly aiding Iran and argues the U.S. would know if they were. But the war remains stalled. Ending it will require concessions, and Washington will need someone to blame. Trump reportedly has reservations about livestreaming the firing-squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, a plan publicly backed by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The report remains unconfirmed, but it suggests potential friction inside the administration. Reports also say more service members are seeking conscientious-objector discharges, while as many as 60 troops have objected to participating in Hasan’s execution. With midterms approaching, a prolonged war, casualties, rising costs, and public exhaustion are becoming a political problem. When the pressure mounts, someone will take the fall. And as the administration looks for a way out, is Pete Hegseth becoming the fall guy for its failure in Iran? With midterms approaching, a prolonged war, casualties, rising costs, and public exhaustion are becoming a political liability. When the pressure peaks, someone will take the fall. Dr. Trita Parsi (Trita Parsi) joins us to break it down.

UKRAINE’S SUPPORT IS DRYING UP, AND ZELENSKY IS RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS The U.S.-Ukraine relationship is collapsing. Trump and Zelensky have gone from strained to openly hostile. Ukraine blamed Elon Musk for throttling military Starshield terminals and disrupting drone operations. Musk says the U.S. government controls Starshield, and the military and president set any limits. Ukraine says some restrictions have eased. But Patriot missiles are running out, and intelligence is going dark. This may not be a glitch. It may be leverage. Washington is squeezing Kyiv. Warhawks like Keith Kellogg want Ukraine to strike every Russian oil refinery. Trump wants lower diesel prices. Those strikes would drive up fuel costs. Zelensky is not acting like a man who thinks he is winning. He is acting like a man who knows he is losing. MAGA voices, Elon Musk, DC Draino, Mike Cernovich, and Ian Miles Cheong, are calling for Zelensky to go. The MAGA sphere is turning on him. Then Zelensky told the Financial Times that Trump is drawn to Putin because he admires strongmen. Congress has appropriated nearly $175 billion for Ukraine: weapons, intelligence, and Patriot missiles. Yet Zelensky is publicly psychoanalyzing the president who controls the checkbook, while journalists overlook his corruption scandals. That is how relationships end. Washington is moving on. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are reportedly exploring a deal to bring Russia to the table. The reported U.S. offer would unfreeze roughly $100 billion in frozen European assets. The U.S. is also looking to ease sanctions on “shadow fleet” tankers moving diesel for Russia, Iran, and Venezuela. Ukraine is being squeezed. Russia is being courted. This is no longer a stalemate. It is a wind-down. The harder Zelensky resists Trump, the faster pressure to remove him may grow. James Carden and Col. Douglas Macgregor join me to discuss.

TRUMP AND ZELENSKY ARE HEADED FOR ANOTHER SHOWDOWN President Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky are clashing again. This time over Russian diesel, refinery strikes, and the future of U.S. support for Ukraine. Trump eased sanctions on Russian diesel exports to increase global supply and lower fuel prices. Zelensky called the deal “unfair and dishonest,” likening it to a birthday gift for Vladimir Putin. Trump fired back, accusing Zelensky of rejecting chances to make peace and saying Ukraine needs a new president who can reach an agreement. The stakes are high. Ukraine still relies on U.S. military support, intelligence sharing, and critical technology. Trump has more than two years left in office, and his administration controls key decisions affecting Ukraine’s war effort. The clash follows reports that Washington warned Kyiv to halt strikes on Russian refineries, with threats to cut intelligence sharing if it refused. Zelensky has said Ukraine cannot stop targeting Russian energy sites unless Russia stops striking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Zelensky also said Ukraine received no advance warning before a Russian ballistic-missile strike on Kyiv. Trump maintains the U.S. is still sharing intelligence, while Ukraine says its broader intelligence cooperation continues. Meanwhile, reports describe a possible peace framework: rebuilding Ukraine, security guarantees, renewed Russia-Europe energy cooperation, and a ceasefire along current front lines. Such a deal could leave Russia holding occupied territory while reopening Europe to Russian energy. Zelensky now complains that new restrictions on Starlink and Starshield services disrupted drone missions and battlefield operations. Elon Musk responded that Starshield is owned and controlled by the U.S. government, with limits on use or speed decided by the U.S. military and ultimately the president. He said SpaceX’s commercial Starlink service is limited to civilian and defensive use, not offensive military operations. Russia has not accepted the proposal and rejects NATO troops in Ukraine. For now, it is only a framework, and one with major risks. Zelensky may be looking to Europe and the U.S. midterms for leverage. But Trump remains president until January 2029 and controls the policies Ukraine depends on. Ukraine needs Washington in any serious peace effort. So what does Zelensky gain by turning another disagreement with Trump into a public fight? Chay Bowes joins to discuss.

USAID ENDS, RAP VANISHES FROM THE CHARTS. WAS THE CULTURE ENGINEERED? Rap has fallen off the Billboard charts for the first time in 35 years. That abrupt shift raises questions about what fueled the genre’s dominance, and whether government-linked funding played any role. USAID is now gone. If its funding helped elevate rap and its cultural messages, the chart decline points to a broader effort to shape popular taste and public behavior. The idea is not without precedent. Operation Mockingbird became synonymous with intelligence agencies using media influence to steer public narratives, manufacture consent, and protect government power. Coincidence or culture operation? Alex Stein (Alex Stein #99) joins me to examine the timing and the questions it raises.

IRAN’S RAIN RETURNS, AFTER A STRIKE ON A UAE CLOUD-SEEDING BASE For decades, large parts of Iran have suffered through severe drought, parched farmland, and dwindling water supplies. Now, areas that have struggled for generations are seeing rain and snowfall at levels not recorded in more than 60 years. The timing is raising serious questions. The shift came shortly after a reported strike on a secret weather-modification and cloud-seeding facility in the UAE. If the region had the capacity to alter precipitation, what exactly was that technology being used for, and who controlled it? Was this simply a natural weather cycle finally turning in Iran’s favor? Or was outside interference involved all along? Were the U.S., Israel, and other adversaries quietly using weather technology to block rain and snowfall, deepening Iran’s drought and putting further pressure on its people? The rain may have returned, but the questions behind it are only growing.

THE 9/11 NARRATIVE WAS LOCKED IN BEFORE AMERICA COULD ASK QUESTIONS The official account of 9/11 remains one of the most consequential narratives in modern history. Twenty-five years later, the unanswered questions have only grown. Within a day, al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden were blamed. The public accepted the explanation, and the War on Terror followed. But questions surrounding Building 7, the collapse of the Twin Towers, recovered passports, intelligence failures, and possible Saudi-linked support for future hijackers never disappeared. FBI and CIA warnings were on the table before the attacks. Agents raised concerns about flight-school activity, and Zacarias Moussaoui was already in custody. Yet the threat was not stopped. Then came the Patriot Act, rushed through Congress after 9/11 along with wars, surveillance, and a permanent expansion of government power. If an event of that scale happened today, the official story would face far more immediate public scrutiny. Independent media and online platforms have made it harder to accept government narratives without question. Jimmy Dore breaks down why Americans are questioning 9/11 more than ever, and why they should keep asking questions.

Lebanon is home to one of the largest remaining Christian populations in the Middle East, with many historic and sacred sites in the south. As Israel intensifies its bombing in the region, questions are growing about the impact on these communities and holy sites. Are these landmarks and communities being sacrificed for the greater Israel project? And why are Christian leaders around the world silent on this destruction? I discuss this and more with Clayton Morris and Natali Morris on Redacted.

🚨The Case Against Tyler Robinson Is Collapsing in Plain Sight! The Tyler Robinson hearing is an absolute joke, and the record so far makes that painfully clear. The state’s key evidence, a “surveillance compilation” edited by the Utah Attorney General’s office, was rejected for alterations, and there is still no raw, uncut footage of the assassination. The officer on scene couldn’t even recover the shell casing from Robinson’s alleged rifle, and the DNA on the towel is 95% linked to Lance Twiggs, not Tyler Robinson. To make matters worse, the officer’s bodycam was conveniently turned off at the most critical moments. As it stands today, the state has zero solid evidence actually tying Tyler Robinson to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. 🇺🇸Lionel🇺🇸 joins me to break down how a case this weak ever made it into a courtroom.

Bill Gates: “I don’t plant trees.” Interviewer: “Some people would even say that if you just planted enough trees, it could take care of the climate issue altogether.” Gates: “And that's complete nonsense.” “I mean, are we the science people, or are we the idiots? Which one do we want to be?”

USAID Ends, Rap Falls Off the Charts: Was the Culture Being Engineered? A Billboard report says rap music has now disappeared from the charts for the first time in 35 years. It raises serious questions: if USAID helped prop up rap music all along? Now that funding is gone, the culture operation is collapsing along with it. If that’s true, then this isn’t just about music. It’s about whether rap, degeneracy, and culture-shaping narratives were being astroturfed to engineer public taste and social behavior. CIA’s Operation Mockingbird is infamous for infiltrating media institutions to shape culture, push preferred narratives, normalize war crimes, and manufacture consent for expanding government control. The timing looks too perfect to ignore. Alex Stein #99 joins me to break it down.
