Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is engulfed in scandal—from leaking classified intel via Signal, to elevating Trump loyalists over experienced leaders, and dodging congressional accountability. Fox News confirms the leaks. Lawmakers demand answers. And somehow, Mike Waltz tries to spin it as Biden’s fault. Is this just a rogue cabinet member—or the next front in Trump’s loyalty-over-competence crusade? Plus, we go through some recent GOP scandals that have nothing to do with Epstein, before final...

Ghislaine Maxwell just got a full-day visit from Trump’s Deputy AG — the same guy who once called her lawyer “a friend” on a podcast. Now DOJ wants a second meeting. Is this a real investigation or a scene out of The Godfather Part II? Meanwhile, Trump’s name appears in Epstein’s birthday book, Newsmax calls Ghislaine a victim, and the Fed renovation costs $2.5 billion — but somehow it's Obama’s fault again. Oh, and Alina Habba is back…

WSJ reports Trump’s name is in the Epstein files — and suddenly Tulsi Gabbard and Karoline Leavitt are giving a full-blown masterclass in the Art of Deflection. Treason? But, Obama. Coup? But, Obama. Tranquilizers? Hillary. The real victim? Trump, of course. As subpoenas rain down on Epstein’s circle and the DOJ forms a new “strike force,” Tulsi and Leavitt do everything possible to shift the spotlight — accusing the entire Obama administration of a coup, calling for prosecutions, and turning ...

Trump’s name is everywhere. From grand jury fights to flagged FBI records, the heat is on. Trump scrambles with recycled distractions: blame Obama, bait Hillary, call Schiff corrupt, and flirt with pardoning Maxwell. Plus: Sen. Ron Wyden follows the money trail, oh, and Tulsi? She’s just getting warmed up. We pull the receipts—and the propaganda apart.

Speaker Mike Johnson is pulling the plug on Congress—canceling votes and heading out for a long summer recess—because his own party won’t kill Epstein-related amendments. Today, we break down the growing rebellion inside the GOP, why Thomas Massie is torching Trump and Johnson on the Capitol steps, and how a bipartisan push for real Epstein transparency is being buried under procedural BS. Also on the show: A shady redistricting arms race in Texas Let the summer of silence begin.

Donald Trump is flailing under the weight of the Epstein files—and none of his usual distractions (Schiff, sugar, sports teams, autopen drama) have worked. So now it’s time for the ultimate MAGA Uno Reverse: “Obama rigged 2016!” Tulsi Gabbard is threatening charges. Trump is sharing AI deepfakes of Obama being arrested. And the right-wing media machine is revving up a full-blown “Obama committed treason” narrative. The problem? Every credible intel report, Senate investigation, and legal expert ...

Trump lashes out at The Wall Street Journal, threatening to sue over their explosive report on his alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein. He calls it AI, fake, deep state… and then demands Pam Bondi release grand jury info she legally can’t. Meanwhile, Democrats and some frustrated Republicans push to unseal all Epstein files, but the GOP-led Rules Committee blocks the vote. Nick Fuentes, Bill Kristol, Ro Khanna, Jamie Raskin, and even Mike Pence weigh in. Also: Millions in disaster relie...

While you were sleeping, the Senate snuck through a $9 billion clawback, gutting funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting — a bipartisan agreement undone by a 2:30 a.m. vote. NPR, PBS, and rural programming face extinction, all while Trump loyalist Emil Bove gets fast-tracked for a lifetime federal judgeship despite whistleblowers, cover-ups, and a refusal to say Biden won 2020. This is the American Dream, reimagined — where Mr. Rogers loses his mic, and Trump’s former personal lawyer ge...

Today’s show kicks off by dismantling Trump’s latest distraction campaign: demanding the prosecution of Adam Schiff over a recycled mortgage “scandal” that’s legally baseless and politically timed. We then turn to the real headlines Trump doesn’t want you talking about: his fingerprints on Texas’ mid-decade redistricting push to create 5 new GOP seats—and how Democrats are gearing up to respond. Plus, the Epstein files fight escalates as Republicans block transparency again

Trump threatens 100% tariffs on Russia—but only after Putin tells him he’s got 60 days of war planned. Coincidence? Meanwhile, Republicans block a vote to release the Epstein files, and right-wing media dusts off the autopen “scandal” to keep eyes off the truth.

On today's show: Trump claims credit for a Ukraine weapons plan fully funded by Europe, while his refusal to release the Epstein Files draws backlash from his own allies. MAGA, Megan Kelly, and Benny Johnson all call him out. Meanwhile, a federal judge halts indiscriminate immigration arrests in California.

From FEMA dragging its feet during deadly Texas floods thanks to Kristi Noem’s red tape, to federal agents storming California weed farms like it’s the War on Drugs rebooted—this episode unpacks the chaos unfolding under the Project 2025 playbook. Brett also breaks down the IRS quietly greenlighting churches to endorse political candidates. When the pulpit becomes a campaign stop, what happens to your faith—and your tax dollars? Hypocrisy, helicopters, and holy endorsements... Welcome to the new...

GOP Senator Thom Tillis breaks ranks and breaks bad — torching Trump’s inner circle, calling out amateurs like Stephen Miller, and throwing shade at Pete Hegseth for being “out of his depth.” Speaking of Hegseth, he just paused weapons to Ukraine without telling the White House — and now Trump’s pretending he definitely would’ve known. Meanwhile, Trump’s bromance with Putin is unraveling, and his diplomatic skills hit rock bottom as he flirts with reporters, insults African leaders, and marvels ...

Governor Greg Abbott says only “losers” ask who's to blame—tell that to the families of flood victims. Today, we break down Abbott's jaw-dropping attack on accountability and pivot to the ever-thickening muck surrounding the Epstein Files. No client list? Then what’s sitting on Pam Bondi’s desk? Influencers bragged they had the goods—so where is it? We play the tapes, including Bondi's shifting excuses and Levitt's failed cover story. Trump, meanwhile, calls questioning Bondi “a desecration.” Of...

Elon Musk teases a third-party run—again—while Trump scoffs and strategists sweat. We break down what it means, who benefits, and whether America is ready for a Mountain Dew candidate. Then it’s back under the hood of Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), where “no downsides” somehow includes hidden healthcare cuts, a billion-dollar tax hike on gamblers, and fine print that could wreck lives. Plus: ICE horror stories, betrayed Trump voters, and Stephen Miller’s all-star reel of early hate. Wh...

In the aftermath of the devastating flash floods in Texas, we walk through the timeline of what happened — and what didn’t. Despite early alerts from the National Weather Service, breakdowns in communication, delayed evacuations, and underfunded local warning systems may have cost lives. We look at what lawmakers did not do this year to strengthen disaster preparedness, how federal budget cuts may have impacted critical forecasting, and what officials are now saying in response. This is a story ...

From a record-breaking 7.5-hour rule vote, another 5+ hour vote to a debate capped off by a 4:53 a.m. "magic minute" floor speech by Hakeem Jeffries, we walk through every twist of the House’s overnight scramble to advance Trump’s $4.5 trillion megabill. Republicans flipped, folded, and fielded phone calls from Trump himself — while Democrats used every tool left to delay the inevitable. Boyle, Pelosi, Doggett, and Craig laid out the human cost. Jeffries stretched one “magic minute” into a recor...

Lisa Murkowski called her vote “agonizing”—and then cast it anyway. After extracting carveouts to shield Alaska from the most brutal parts of the Senate’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” Murkowski admitted the rest of the country might not be so lucky. Critics called it cowardice wrapped in parochial politics. We unpack how Murkowski’s dealmaking exposes the deep cracks in the GOP coalition, why the bill may stall in the House, and why Trump still wants a July 4th signing spectacle—even if it smells l...

In today’s chaotic live show, we were on air as the Senate officially passed the GOP’s 940-page domestic policy monster, the “One Big Beautiful Bill” — after a record-breaking 45+ vote vote-a-rama that left senators sleep-deprived and America stunned. We covered live reactions, emotional floor speeches, CNN polling breakdowns, and Trump’s own words on Medicaid—before the bill gutted it. From Cory Booker’s “moral obscenity” warning to JD Vance’s total indifference, and from Elizabeth Warren agree...

The Senate’s version of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” just made a bad thing worse. What started as a bloated House package is now an even crueler, $3.9 trillion debt bomb—complete with Medicaid cuts, green energy gutting, and tax giveaways so shameless they’d make a lobbyist blush. Brett breaks down the late-night Senate chaos, GOP infighting, and the amendment drama still to come. From Rand Paul’s brutal truth to Thom Tillis flipping on Trump, this dumpster fire is just getting started. Final vo...

Today on Brett Breaks Things, we torch the myths and torch the Medicaid cuts. Trump’s team claims your healthcare is safe, but the numbers—and the flip-flops—say otherwise. Karoline Leavitt does Olympic-level mental gymnastics, while Rand Paul opts out of the $5 trillion debt ceiling hike. Republicans are bailing on the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Meanwhile, in Iran: the spin war has begun. Was their nuke program really destroyed? Depends which GOP janitor is holding the mop. And just in time for Fac...

Today on Brett Breaks Things, it’s a full-court press—on the press. Trump attacks CNN’s Natasha Bertrand, prompting a rare statement from CNN, while Fox News accuses the network of spewing “enemy propaganda.” Deputy AG Todd Blanche goes full scorched earth, hinting at treason charges and calling for reporters to be deposed. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth tries to wave away the facts at the Pentagon, claiming we should salute instead of ask questions about the Iran strike. And up on the Hill, AG Pam Bon...

Zorin Mamdani shocks the political world by defeating Andrew Cuomo — but that's just the appetizer. Trump compares his Iran strikes to Hiroshima while calling CNN “scum,” all while intelligence remains… inconclusive. Senators are furious over a postponed Iran briefing, McCaul admits the bombing only bought months, and Thomas Massie warns Trump could cost the GOP the House. Now Trump’s threatening him. Can Massie survive the wrath of a Super PAC blitz? — today’s show hits harder than a bunker-bus...

Today’s show walks you through the absolute chaos of the so-called “Trump-brokered ceasefire” between Israel and Iran—a deal that somehow unraveled before the ink was dry. Iran launched missiles into Qatar (yes, really), Trump thanked them for the heads-up, and Vance went on Fox to dodge harder than Neo in The Matrix. Overnight, Israel got bombed, Israel bombed back, and Trump woke up to yell at Netanyahu on Truth Social like an angry HOA president. Meanwhile, right-wing media split into two cam...
