1. Oil Prices & National Security Lower global oil prices weaken hostile regimes like Iran, Russia, and Venezuela by reducing their revenue. The Trump administration aims for a “sweet spot” oil price ($60–$70/barrel): Low enough to hurt adversaries. High enough to avoid bankrupting U.S. independent oil producers. If prices drop into the $40s, it could collapse small oil producers in Texas and the Permian Basin. 2. Venezuela’s Oil Infrastructure Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves, but decades of mismanagement have destroyed its infrastructure. Estimates from oil executives: Increasing production from 1 million to 3 million barrels/day could take 10 years and require $100B+ in investment. Even going from 1 million to 2 million/day would take 5–7 years. Gulf Coast refineries can process Venezuela’s heavy sour crude, but expanded imports would mostly affect Canada and Mexico, not U.S. light-sweet crude producers. 3. Cuba’s Economic Crisis Cuba historically survived on financial support from: The Soviet Union (until its collapse). Venezuela under Chávez/Maduro (oil and money). With Venezuela no longer able to support Cuba, the island is in economic freefall. Mexico is currently providing oil that helps sustain the Cuban regime. The Trump administration may pressure Mexico to cut this supply, potentially pushing Cuba toward political collapse. 4. Jack Smith & January 6th Investigation Smith is accused of leading a politically motivated prosecution against Donald Trump. He allegedly relied on questionable or disproven testimony, notably from Cassidy Hutchinson. Hutchinson’s dramatic claims (e.g., Trump lunging for a steering wheel) were not confirmed by eyewitnesses. Jim Jordan challenged Smith in hearings, accusing him of: Using unreliable witnesses. Conducting a partisan, anti-Trump investigation. Targeting large numbers of Republicans with subpoenas. 5. Crime Statistics & Trump Administration Policies Nationwide murder rates reportedly declined ~20% from 2024 to 2025. Approx. 1,400 fewer murders. Major cities showing decreases: Chicago: 30% NYC: 20% Baltimore: 31% Oakland: 33% Washington, D.C.: 31% (after National Guard deployment) Other violent crimes also declined: Motor vehicle theft: ↓25% Robbery: ↓18% Aggravated assault: ↓8% Law enforcement stats cited: Violent crime arrests: ↑100% Gangs disrupted: ↑210% Fentanyl seized: ↑31% Missing/abducted children located: ↑22% Human traffickers arrested: ↑15% Significant increase in arrests of espionage suspects and fugitives.

1. Crime Statistics Under the Trump Administration (as claimed in the text) Murder rates dropped ~20% nationwide from 2024 to 2025. Cities cited with major decreases: Chicago: –30% New York City: –20% Birmingham: –49% Albuquerque: –32% Baltimore: –31% Atlanta: –26% Oakland: –33% Washington, D.C.: –31% (after National Guard deployment) Other crimes that have decreased in 2025: Motor vehicle theft: –25% Robbery: –18% Aggravated assaults: –8% FBI Director’s reported statistics included: Violent crime arrests up 100% Gang disruptions up 210% Major increases in fentanyl seizures, child victim rescues, predator arrests, and espionage arrests. 2. Drug Overdose Deaths A 21% drop in overdose deaths from 2024 to 2025: 2024: ~91,694 deaths 2025: ~72,836 deaths Approx. 19,000 fewer overdose deaths attributed to: 99% reduction in illegal border crossings Increased drug‑trafficker interdiction Border and cartel enforcement operations 3. Media Coverage Criticism Mainstream media downplays or avoids covering these crime and overdose statistics because they’re positive for Trump. They argue media outlets attempt to disconnect improvements from administration policies. 4. Accusations Against Democrats Democrats misreported or reclassified crime statistics to make numbers appear better before elections. Democratic-led cities or governments artificially adjusted categories of crime. 5. Jack Smith & Abuse-of-Power Allegations Conducting politically motivated prosecutions of Donald Trump. Subpoenaing toll/phone records of: Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy Nine U.S. Senators Additional House members Allegedly violating the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause. Allegedly obtaining non-disclosure orders to hide his subpoenas from targets and the public. Testifying poorly under questioning by Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Brandon Gill. Accused of: Using unreliable witnesses (e.g., Cassidy Hutchinson) Making false statements to obtain judicial approvals Targeting political opponents in ways compared to abuses greater than Watergate. 6. January 6 Committee & Cassidy Hutchinson Hutchinson is an unreliable witness whose testimony was: Second- or third-hand Contradicted by Secret Service witnesses Still heavily relied on (185 times in the Jan. 6 report) She fabricated stories, including one involving Senator Ted Cruz Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The indictment against Dr. Michael McKee tells a story of alleged premeditation. Four counts of aggravated murder. One count of aggravated burglary. And the allegation that McKee used a firearm equipped with a suppressor to kill Monique and Spencer Tepe.A silencer changes this case. It's not impulsive. It's not rage. It's allegedly making sure no one would hear the shots while the victims' young children slept in another room.Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down what this indictment reveals — and what it doesn't. Under Ohio law, "prior calculation and design" is an element prosecutors must prove for aggravated murder. The suppressor allegation helps them do that. But why four counts for two victims? Motta explains how Ohio structures murder charges and what each count requires.The aggravated burglary charge is significant. It doesn't necessarily mean theft — it suggests prosecutors have a theory about how McKee entered the home. Because there's still no public explanation for how he allegedly got inside with no forced entry.The NIBIN ballistics match linking a firearm from McKee's Chicago apartment to shell casings at the scene is still being called "preliminary." McKee gave police an alibi before his arrest. It didn't hold up. He only invoked his right to remain silent after the cuffs went on.Prosecutors have not filed capital specifications. They're not seeking the death penalty — at least not yet. Motta analyzes what that decision tells us: is it strategic, or does it suggest they see weaknesses in their case?#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TepeMurders #BobMotta #HiddenKillers #Suppressor #AggravatedMurder #OhioLaw #ProsecutionCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The charges against Dr. Michael McKee were upgraded from murder to premeditated aggravated murder. In Ohio, that distinction matters — it's the difference between serious prison time and death penalty eligibility.Attorney Eric Faddis breaks down what prosecutors need to prove "prior calculation and design" and what this upgrade signals about evidence police haven't released yet.Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant confirmed multiple firearms were recovered from McKee's property, with a preliminary ballistic link through NIBIN connecting one weapon to the crime scene. Eric explains what NIBIN is, how preliminary ballistic evidence works, and whether the defense can challenge it at trial.Police have connected McKee to surveillance footage showing a vehicle that arrived before the murders and left shortly after. That vehicle has been traced to McKee. Eric examines how strong this circumstantial evidence is and what the defense would likely argue to counter it.McKee waived extradition but remains in Illinois. Court records say his transfer to Ohio "will not be feasible" by the end of the week. His attorney says he plans to plead not guilty. Given the public evidence — ballistics, vehicle records, surveillance footage — what defense strategies might be available?Chief Bryant said police are withholding details to avoid jeopardizing conviction. Eric explains when the defense and public will start seeing more evidence — arraignment, preliminary hearing, or discovery.Spencer and Monique Tepe were found shot dead in their Columbus home on December 30, 2025. Their children — ages 4 and 1 — were found unharmed. McKee is Monique's ex-husband from a seven-month marriage that ended in 2017. Her family says they waited eight years for this arrest.#MichaelMcKee #SpencerTepe #MoniqueTepe #EricFaddis #TeepeMurders #AggravatedMurder #HiddenKillers #ColumbusOhio #TrueCrime #DeathPenaltyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

22-year-old Tyler Robinson has been charged with aggravated murder in the fatal shooting of far-right extremist Charlie Kirk. Utah prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty. Court filings allege Robinson planned the attack for more than a week, confessed in text messages to his roommate, and left DNA on the rifle believed to be the murder weapon. Investigators also say his mother identified him in photos released by police. Robinson remains held without bail and is expected to make his first court appearance via video.

According to the violent crime survey by the Major Cities Chiefs Association, there were 17 homicides in Portland in the first half of 2025 compared to 35 for the same period last year. That 51% decline is the largest drop in homicides among the 68 city and county police agencies represented in the survey. Aggravated assaults, rapes and robberies have also declined in Portland and nationwide, according to the survey. Gun violence, however, continues to be a problem, with three firearm-related homicides recorded in Portland just last month. Ceasefire is one of the initiatives the city is pursuing to break the cycle of gun violence. Launched in 2023, it’s based on a national model that identifies individuals at high risk for gun violence and provides them with supportive services and intensive case management within their communities. Ceasefire director Sierra Ellis and Lt. Israel Hill, who supervises the Portland Police Bureau’s Focused Intervention Team and Enhanced Community Safety Team, join us to talk about Ceasefire and other strategies the city is pursuing to curb violent crimes.

Charges from a recent operation by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement suggest that a new type of criminal charge is being used against illegal immigrants working in the United States. Individuals are being charged with “aggravated identity theft,” suggesting that the administration could now be enforcing a crime that is commonly committed by illegal immigrant workers.Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department is also taking on a new image, having just unveiled a new “patriotic ‘America First' rebranding.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
