Today, we dig DEEP into the growing pile of questions surrounding Jared Kushner’s business empire, foreign fundraising, and role in Trump’s Middle East diplomacy. From billion-dollar Gulf investments and broken transparency promises to Deutsche Bank, Epstein-linked financial questions, and warnings from ethics experts, we break down why Kushner is starting to look less like a statesman and more like a real-life Bond villain

As the death toll rises and the costs of war keep expanding, Trump is learning that launching a conflict is a lot easier than controlling what comes next. We break down the deaths of six U.S. service members, the growing crisis around the Strait of Hormuz and Kharg Island, Trump’s push for allies to do more, and why even Hegseth’s rhetoric is raising alarm about how far this war could go.

They are calling it a limited operation, but the fallout tells a darker story.

We also cover reports of a school hit during U.S. strikes and the shocking sinking of an Iranian naval vessel in international waters.

The Epstein file rollout just got uglier: DOJ quietly pulled tens of thousands of records offline for “review,” while key FBI interview memos tied to allegations involving Trump appear to be missing from the public dump. Meanwhile, House Oversight escalates—moving to subpoena AG Pam Bondi and seeking testimony from high-profile Epstein-linked names. And in the same week, Congress effectively kills a push to release its own sexual misconduct records. Convenient.

Today, Brett breaks down the fast-moving U.S.–Iran conflict through the money, the messaging, and the missing plan: the Iran War Cost Tracker, the Trump–Netanyahu call that reshaped the region, and the Rubio whiplash as his “we knew” comments collide with Trump’s version of events.

Trump’s New War dives into Operation Epic Fury—the U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran—and what Trump says the mission is actually meant to achieve. We break down his full public justification, then run it through the fact-checks: what’s supported, what’s exaggerated, and what’s being used to sell a wider escalation. Finally, we unpack the reporting on why the strikes happened when they did (a narrow window to hit senior leadership) and the ticking-clock reality on the ground: how long can this campaign...

Next: the World Liberty/Mar-a-Lago crypto forum—who showed up, what was pitched, and why it screams influence politics. And to close… Trump claims Obama spilled “classified” UFO intel, reviving the alien debate in the most chaotic way possible.

The DHS shutdown drags on after Democrats sent a fresh counteroffer to the White House—only to be rebuffed—leaving Washington with no obvious off-ramp as both sides fight over oversight and immigration-enforcement guardrails. At the same time, Trump’s tariffs are colliding with everyday prices: new analysis and reporting underscores that U.S. businesses and consumers are paying the bulk of the tariff bill, even as Kevin Hassett blasts the underlying New York Fed-linked research and insists tarif...
