Episodes

Trump escalates tensions in the Strait of Hormuz while Iran pushes back and questions pile up over “Project Freedom.” Back home, judicial nominees dodge basic questions about Trump, the Constitution, 2020, and January 6 — as the fight over the midterms heats up.

Today’s show is “Violation of Norms” — borrowing Bessent’s own phrase, because if we’re talking about norms, this administration has shattered the whole rulebook. Powell staying on the Fed board is being treated like the scandal, while Trump’s pressure campaign against the Fed, the push to punish disabled adults living with family, the ballooning cost of the Iran war, and the effort to put Trump’s face on passports and national park passes all point to the same bigger story: nothing about this i...

The Voting Rights Act isn’t officially dead — but the Supreme Court may have just put it on life support. Today we break down the Louisiana map ruling, the conservative push toward “race-neutral” redistricting, and the immediate political fallout as GOP-led states move to redraw maps, delay primaries, and potentially reshape control of Congress.

James Comey’s “8647” seashell post is now a criminal case, and the DOJ says it can prove intent with witnesses, documents, and Comey himself. Today, we break down Todd Blanche and Kash Patel’s defense of the investigation, the threat of a 10-year sentence. We don't stop there, because the free speech question stretches from the FBI to the FCC as its latest crackdown on Jimmy Kimmel plays out.

After the Correspondents Dinner shooting, Trump and his allies are using fear, rumors, and conspiracy theories to revive the push for a White House ballroom — even after Trump repeatedly promised taxpayers would not pay a dime. We break down the security spin, the $400 million funding push, the rhetoric hypocrisy, and Ron DeSantis’ latest “Dummymander” attempt to redraw Florida in the GOP’s favor.

Today we break down RFK Jr.’s defense of Trump’s mathematically impossible drug-pricing claim — including the idea that dropping a $600 drug to $10 is somehow a “600% reduction.” From there, we look at another round of chaos inside the Pentagon as Navy Secretary John Phelan exits amid tensions with Pete Hegseth and the ongoing Iran blockade, plus the disturbing new frontier of political betting: a U.S. soldier accused of using classified information to cash in on Maduro’s ouster, and France inve...

Today we broke down the secrecy, internal maneuvering, and political pressure swirling around the Supreme Court. From secret memos and breaks from the norm to new questions about Justice Samuel Alito’s future. The Senate Republicans also seem to be preparing for a possible vacancy and Ron DeSantis reportedly angling for a bigger role, we looked at how power is moving behind the scenes at the highest court in the country.

The Justice Department’s widening pursuit of Trump’s perceived enemies took another turn today, as a prominent civil rights group was hit with financial crime charges while broader conspiracy-style probes continue to expand under Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. We also break down the sudden reversal in the John Brennan inquiry, Kash Patel’s angry public defense of his performance, and what it all says about the current state of “justice” in America. Plus: Congress gets hit with more chaos,...

Trump always says he hires “the best people,” but today’s show tells a very different story. We break down the turmoil surrounding Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s exit, the investigations, internal chaos, and allegations swirling around the department, then turn to the mystery of an increasingly absent FBI director as Kash Patel tries to fight back against damaging reporting with a massive defamation suit.

As tensions escalate in the Strait of Hormuz, with ship attacks, blockade enforcement, and Trump claiming the U.S. seized an Iranian vessel, we break down how dangerous this latest phase of the Iran crisis could become. Then we turn to The Kushner Corruption Machine: a major Trump administration deal tied to a company backed by Jared Kushner’s war-profiteer brother, new reporting on wealthy Syrians invoking the Trump name for influence in Washington, and a fresh investigation into whether Kushne...

Today we break down how the Trump family’s business dealings are raising new questions about how future presidents could profit from public office, while a private equity billionaire and major manufacturers move deeper into the business of war through Pentagon expansion and weapons production. We also look at the renewed fight over FISA, the government’s controversial surveillance authority, and why the debate over warrantless monitoring is once again splitting Congress.

Today’s show breaks down the resignations of Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales and what they say about a Congress already struggling with a deep ethics problem. We look at the broader crisis of accountability on Capitol Hill, the erosion of public trust, and why the institution looks more unstable than ever.

Trump’s Jesus-style post sparks backlash, his feud with the Pope deepens, and the gap between political spectacle and economic reality gets harder to ignore as Iran tensions threaten higher prices at the pump.

As Iran peace talks fell apart, new reporting raised fresh questions about the overlap between Trump-world politics, cryptocurrency, and foreign policy. We broke down World Liberty Financial, the investor backlash around the Trump-linked project, and the collapse of diplomacy with Iran.

Trump is facing criticism from some of his loudest allies as Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, and others publicly turn on him over Iran, Fox’s coverage, and growing chaos inside his political orbit. We also break down the latest on U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks, the Strait of Hormuz standoff, NATO tensions, Melania’s Epstein denial, and fresh questions around prediction markets and Trump-world business ties.

This episode, "The World's Most Dangerous Man," explores a global landscape on the brink of structural change, beginning with Anthropic's decision to withhold its Mythos model due to its unprecedented hacking capabilities and the company's subsequent legal loss against a Pentagon blacklist. We analyze Sam Altman’s "New Deal" for superintelligence to determine if he is a visionary architect or a central figure of concern, while shifting to the deepening diplomatic rift between the Vatican and the...

We break down the sudden U.S.-Iran ceasefire, the oil market reaction, and the peace talks now taking shape. We also look at the unanswered questions around Hormuz, Iran’s reported terms, whether Congress becomes a problem for Trump’s deal, and how this conflict escalated to this point in the first place.

Trump’s 2027 budget says it all: more money for the military, less for everyone else. We break down the $1.5 trillion defense push, cuts at home, new fears over “domestic terrorism” designations, and the latest Iran developments as Trump weighs escalation against talks.

Trump spent Easter in full public meltdown mode, turning a holiday into a one-man spectacle while escalating threats against Iran and openly flirting with attacks on civilian infrastructure. On today’s show, we break down the crashout, the war rhetoric, and the story of the downed U.S. airman in Iran — not just as it was officially told, but with a critical eye toward the inconsistencies, unanswered questions, and reasons to be skeptical of the narrative taking shape around it.

Trump’s promised regime change may be happening closer to home. On today’s show, we break down the ouster of Pam Bondi, why it could be just the start of a wider purge inside Trump’s inner circle, and new reporting that even Tulsi Gabbard may not be safe. Then we turn to Iran, where military shake-ups, Hegseth’s clash with Army leadership, and escalating strikes raise new questions about chaos, loyalty, and who’s really in control.

Today’s show follows a presidency and a Justice Department coming apart in real time. We break down Trump’s leaked remarks, his escalating rhetoric on Iran, his attacks on judges, and the growing sense that the law only matters when it serves him. Then, in the biggest late-breaking development of the episode, reports that Trump was considering firing Attorney General Pam Bondi became reality by the end of the show. With watchdogs going quiet, legal battles piling up, and the DOJ shifting away fr...

Today’s show looks at the collision of faith, politics, and power — from Pope Francis criticizing Trump-era policies and Pete Hegseth invoking religion in wartime, to the Christian Zionist forces backing Trump’s Iran policy. We also dig into new questions around Hegseth’s finances and his decision to nullify the Kid Rock helicopter probe, plus Trump’s growing Florida vanity projects, including an airport renaming, trademark filings, and a presidential library tease in Miami.

Today, we dig into the growing legal and political battle over birthright citizenship, as Trump’s effort to end it reaches the Supreme Court and exposes deep divisions on the right. We break down the legal theory behind the push, the figures driving it, and the disturbing extremist arguments surfacing around one of the Constitution’s clearest promises.

Trump is facing growing backlash at home as “No Kings” protests spread across the country, including big turnout in South Florida, while his administration tries to project control through TSA pay moves and another short-term DHS funding patch. At the same time, the Iran crisis appears to be moving in the opposite direction of any real strategy, with reports of possible ground operations, special forces deployments, uranium extraction discussions, and oil prices surging on fears of a deeper war.
