07/15/26 Protection Racket
Companies are learning the rules of Trump’s Washington: grease the right palms, invest alongside the family and stay in the administration’s good graces—or risk being shut out. Today, we examine how Trump’s sons are cashing in on defense technology, how the government is taking stakes in private companies and how the UAE secured coveted AI chips after backing the U.S. war in Iran. Then, Trump returns to prime-time television to revive his 2020 election claims and target voting machines.

Today’s show breaks down a rapidly escalating crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, where Iran’s attacks on multiple ships triggered a chain reaction: the U.S. revoked oil waivers, launched strikes inside Iran, and watched ceasefire talks collapse almost immediately.

For our July 4th episode, Fireworks and Fraud, we break down how Trump’s America 250 celebration is being wrapped in spectacle, self-dealing, and political favoritism. From national park funds being redirected to presidential pet projects, to no-bid White House construction, donor confusion, delayed fireworks, pollution concerns, and even talk of 250 pardons for the nation’s birthday, the show looks at how patriotism is being repackaged as another Trump-branded grift.
