Today's Headlines: Trump's personal lawyer Alina Habba just got bounced by the 3rd Circuit as New Jersey's top federal prosecutor, because—surprise!—she was never legally appointed in the first place. Meanwhile, Trump picked a fight with Tim Walz, accidentally revealed he got an MRI, then insisted he has no idea what body part it scanned… but definitely not his brain because he “aced” a cognitive test. His doctor then released a memo assuring us his MRI was “pretty normal,” which is exactly what you'd say if it wasn't. Trump is also defending Pete Hegseth, who's accused of war crimes after reportedly ordering a second strike on survivors of a boat attack. House Democrats are digging into FBI Director Kash Patel for allegedly using government jets as his personal Vegas shuttle to visit his girlfriend (and let her take joyrides too). In totally normal news, the administration is also taking an equity stake—yes, equity—in a new chip startup founded by Intel's former CEO, while Costco is suing to get refunds on tariffs that were apparently collected illegally. Additionally, three of Chuck Schumer's offices got MAGA-themed bomb threats. And finally, new research says giving kids smartphones before age 12 dramatically increases their risks of depression, obesity, and terrible sleep. A separate study found that even a one-week social media detox noticeably improves mental health.

Marjorie Taylor Greene just dropped the mother of all red pills and resigned from Congress, admitting Trump is a total fraud, both parties are owned by the same Jewish billionaires, and there is NO PLAN to save America. Tonight we go full nuclear on the AIPAC stranglehold, the Epstein blackmail tapes they're hiding, and the child-trafficking orphanages their networks run from Romania to Tel Aviv. Donald Trump Jr. was caught red-handed in a secret Romanian backroom deal with Israel's ex-intelligence minister whose family built the Hezbollah exploding pagers, while America's children are trafficked and Gaza is bulldozed for Jewish luxury resorts bearing the Trump name. The same Zionist cabal that murdered Charlie Kirk and tried to silence Candace Owens is now running the White House through cocaine-fueled Shabbos goys and their Israeli handlers, proving once again that every road of treason leads straight back to Tel Aviv. Tonight we rip the mask off the Military Industrial Complex's Zionist pipeline running straight through the University of Cincinnati and right into Charlie Kirk's own bedroom through his handler wife Erika and her Raytheon connected, geofencing spook mother Lori Frantzve.
Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dig into Republicans pushing solutions to America's cost-of-living problems, Great Britain scrapping jury trials for many criminal cases, and the approaching implosion of Social Security.First, they applaud Montana Sen. Tim Sheehy for highlighting that the cost of living is too high for many Americans, especially in housing, grocieries, and medical care. In his Wall Street Journal op-ed, Sheehy dismisses Democrats' strategy of pouring more money into every problem and instead calls for deregulation, health-care price transparency, and other market-based reforms.Next, they blast the British government for eliminating jury trials for defendants likely to face three years or less in prison if convicted. The excuse is that there is a huge backlog in British courts. Jim and Greg blast the lefties in the UK for this attack on a fundamental part of western justice and point to ways this change could easily be used to punish political opponents of the current government.Finally, they react to stark projections that Social Security could collapse in just eight years without serious reform. Both parties have ignored the problem for decades. The left will eventually want to raise taxes, and no one will want reduced benefits. Jim says Congress missed a good opportunity to help fix this problem twenty years ago. And he points out one other group to blame for the problem getting so bad.Please visit our great sponsors:Give your liver the support it deserves with Dose Daily.

Plus: War crime allegations against Hegseth, Congress threatens the legal hemp industry, and reflections on the legacy of Tom Stoppard
Senator Mark Kelly appeared in a video alongside other veterans now serving in Congress, telling service members, “Our laws are clear: you can refuse illegal orders.” The Pentagon has since opened an investigation and even raised the possibility of recalling him to active duty for potential discipline. Zachary Cohen, senior reporter on the national security beat for CNN, talks about what Kelly said, why Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the probe, and how this all fits into other Pentagon headlines this week, including reports of U.S. strikes on suspected drug boats.
With Pres. Trump sending mixed signals on extending ACA subsidies, and Republicans split over the issue, Jonathan Cohn, writer at The Bulwark and the author of The Ten Year War: Obamacare and the Unfinished Crusade for Universal Coverage (St. Martin's Press, 2021), talks about the negotiations and where the conflicts lie.
On today's Top News in 10, we cover: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is in hot water over allegations he purposefully ignored over a billion dollars in fraud by Somali migrants. Senator Mark Kelly responds to accusations of encouraging sedition by saying President Trump is trying to kill him. A special election for Congress in Tennessee includes a candidate who says she hates Tennesseans.

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com
The Trump administration has continued its campaign of lethal strikes against suspected drug traffickers at sea. To date, 83 people have reportedly been killed in 21 strikes. The strikes have met increasing scrutiny both inside the United States and abroad, with some close U.S. allies reportedly suspending intelligence sharing over concerns of the illegality of the campaign, and recently surfaced reporting of the deliberate killing of two strike survivors receiving rare bipartisan attention from Congress. On the fourth installment of the Murder on the High Seas series, cross-posted with NYU Law School's Reiss Center on Law and Security, co-hosts Tess Bridgeman and Rachel Goldbrenner are joined by Rebecca Ingber and Brian Finucane to discuss the latest developments.

The Secretary of Defense has committed war crimes, or murder, or both. And this time, maybe Congress is willing to do something about it? Meanwhile, a rent-price-fixing company has sued the state of New York arguing that it isn't fixing price, it's doing the Freeze Peach. In DC, Chief Judge James Boasberg continues to look for who was responsible for the government disobeying a court order.

It's a News Day Monday on the Majority Report On today's Program: In the aftermath of the shooting of two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C., the Trump administration seizes the opportunity to promote "remigration." When asked why Trump is blaming the D.C. shooting on the Biden administration, he lashes out and calls the reporter "stupid." Trump, or his ghost writer, posts a racist tirade on Thanksgiving. Tim Walz responds to the Truth Social post, saying it's yet another example proving Trump is mentally unwell and unfit to serve as president. Walz calls for the release of Trump's most recent MRI so the public can understand what is going on with the president's health. If you are in Tennessee's 7th Congressional district, make sure you get out and vote for Aftyn Behn. In the Fun Half: Senator Chris Van Hollen says that at best the U.S. has committed war crimes in the Caribbean and at worst just cold-blooded murder. Kristi Noem avoids answering questions from Kristen Welker about DHS promoting the white nationalist policy of "remigration". New Yorkers were tipped off about an ICE staging area in a Chinatown parking garage and quickly mobilized, storming the garage to protest and shut down the raid. Bill Maher is still very upset over Larry David's "My Dinner with Hitler" piece that was written over seven months ago. Crackpot Rob Dreher has a crackpot theory that JD Vance can lead the wayward white young men away from Nick Fuentes. JD Vance's "I hate Turkey" bombs in front of soldiers at Ft. Campbell on Thanksgiving All that and more. The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. You can use this number to connect with either the U.S. Senate or the House of Representatives.

In this very special KATG episode (sure, why not?), Keith goes solo to discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers first losing season in two decades, his interaction with ICE, and the GOP staffer who faked being zip-tied and abused by anti-Trumpers. While Megyn Kelly doubles down on defending Trump with underage girls, flu hospitalizations reach its highest rate in 15 years and Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns from Congress. Also, Keith's TV disease made him watch Squid Game: The Challenge 2, and he needs to share what he saw with you like it's The Ring. He also talks about the Stranger Things' Hopper vs. Eleven and competency porn (aka The Pitt).

00:00:45 — Should It Be the ‘Department of Murder'? Knight warns that Trump's War Department is engaging in actions that surpass conventional war crimes, reflecting a collapse of moral and legal restraints inside military leadership. 00:03:37 — First Strike Reveals Systematic Abandonment of Protocols Knight shows how the first maritime strike disregarded long-standing interdiction procedures, signaling a deliberate move toward lawless extrajudicial operations. 00:09:42 — Pentagon Defends Illegal Killings With Fabricated Claims Knight exposes how fabricated authorities and false terrorism narratives were deployed to justify the killing of unarmed survivors in open water. 00:17:39 — Bipartisan Senators Launch War-Crimes Inquiry Knight highlights the rare bipartisan demand from Senate Armed Services leaders for documentation and recordings, indicating deep concern over presidential misconduct. 01:11:34 — NDAA Guarantees Endless War and Zero Accountability Knight explains that Congress hides massive expansions of war powers and surveillance inside the NDAA because it always passes, ensuring permanent authorization for executive overreach. 01:16:42 — CIA Zero-Unit Fighter Murders National Guardsmen in D.C.

In this must-hear breaking news episode, host Paul Rieckhoff and Washington Post Pentagon reporter and returning guest Dan Lamothe dig into the shocking September 2 “drug boat” strike that allegedly included a second “double tap” hit on survivors in the water—and why this may become the first real legal and political test of Trump's controversial boat strike campaign. They unpack who gave which orders, what Congress can demand, how video evidence could change everything, and why the Navy and Pentagon leadership are under new scrutiny from all sides. Paul and Dan also break down the pre-Thanksgiving targeted shooting of West Virginia National Guard soldiers in Washington, DC—one killed, one critically wounded—and what it reveals about domestic security, vetting, immigration politics, and the dangerous rush to be first instead of right when governors and politicians post about casualties. The conversation then zooms out to looming US strikes on Venezuela, ongoing war in Ukraine, and what happens if American aircraft go down on foreign soil in the middle of a fragile, hyper-partisan environment of misinformation. The guys also dig into negotiations and fault lines in Ukraine, how China may be quietly benefiting from America's distractions, and how a potential Venezuela operation could spin out politically and militarily without clear, credible communication. In one of the most jaw-dropping segments, Paul and Dan dig into the collapse of the traditional Pentagon press corps: CNN, The New York Times, Fox, and The Washington Post have now been fully pushed out of the building–and radical conspiracy-pusher Laura Loomer, MyPillow-linked outlets, and fringe “truth tellers” have taken over their access–and their desks. And they're talking junk about it. Dan and Paul also drill down on Trump's plans to attend the Army–Navy game later this month, what to look for, how that once-unifying event is now becoming a hyper-political stage, and why announcements and personnel moves tied to the game have mattered before—and could again. Plus, Dan shares why time with teachers, cops, and old classmates far from DC can be grounding in a moment of national whiplash. Paul gives a shoutout to the unifying Detroit Lions Thanksgiving halftime show with Eminem and Jack White—and why small cultural moments like that matter when the news is this heavy.

A few weeks ago our 14-year-old daughter ordered a $30 item online with her own hard-earned cash. She was proud of herself—until a notice popped up: the product was coming from overseas and a tariff of roughly $30 would be due at delivery. She looked at me, stunned. “Wait… I have to pay double to get it?” She paused, thought, and said, “I still want it.” https://www.youtube.com/live/gV_EvvpiXww That tiny moment shows a big reality: taxes aren't just something you deal with in April. They show up everywhere, often without warning, and every one of them is a leak in your wealth bucket. It's also a simple picture of why taxes and wealth creation are tied together in ways most families never see. The Real Link Between Taxes and Wealth CreationTaxes and wealth creation: Why taxes are the biggest wealth leakThe compounding cost of taxesTaxes and wealth creation: 95% of the tax code is about how not to pay taxes“Is this deductible?” vs “How do I make this deductible?”Taxes and wealth creation: Tax planning is not tax preparationTaxes and wealth creation: The SECURE Act and a silent inheritance taxThe 10-year inherited IRA ruleTaxes and wealth creation: Roth conversions as a legacy moveTaxes and wealth creation: Positioning money where compounding can keep workingReal estate incentivesCharitable givingWhole life insurance for tax-efficient legacyTaxes and wealth creation: Thinking past your lifetimeHere's the point: taxes and wealth creation rise and fall together.Book A Strategy CallFAQWhat is the connection between taxes and wealth creation?Why do taxes feel invisible to most families?What did the SECURE Act change for inherited retirement accounts?Are Roth conversions a good strategy for generational wealth?How does real estate help with tax-efficient wealth building?Why is tax planning different from tax preparation?How does whole life insurance fit into tax-efficient legacy planning? The Real Link Between Taxes and Wealth Creation This topic matters because taxes quietly take more from most families than any other expense. Not your mortgage. Not your lifestyle. Taxes. In this article we're going to pull taxes out of the “yearly chore” box and put them where they belong—in the center of your wealth plan. You'll see why taxes are such a drag on compounding, how the tax code rewards certain behaviors, what the SECURE Act changed for retirement accounts and heirs, and why Roth conversions and other strategies can protect wealth for your lifetime and beyond. The goal is simple: help you keep more dollars in your control so they can grow and bless your family for generations. Taxes and wealth creation: Why taxes are the biggest wealth leak Most people think about taxes as a single event: file your return, see if you owe or get a refund, and move on. But Bruce made a point that changes everything: we pay taxes on almost every transaction. Federal and state income taxes are just the obvious ones. Add sales tax, gasoline taxes, property taxes, and the taxes baked into your phone and internet bill—and the true cost is enormous. Even when you don't see it, you pay it. And the dollars you lose to taxes don't just disappear today. You lose what those dollars could have become after decades of compounding. Once money leaves your control, the future of that money is gone forever. The compounding cost of taxes I love pictures, so here's one we used. Imagine your money as water in a five-gallon bucket. If there are leaks in the bottom, you don't arrive anywhere with a full bucket. Taxes are one of the biggest leaks. You can earn more and work harder, but if you don't seal the leaks, your progress is always slower than it should be. Think about the penny-doubling example. A penny doubled daily for 30 days becomes millions, but for the first week it still feels tiny. That's why people underestimate compounding. Taxes interrupt that curve. They pull dollars out before they ever reach the steep part of growth. Wealth isn't only about what you earn. It's about what you keep and control long enough for compounding to do its job. That's why taxes and wealth creation are inseparable. Taxes and wealth creation: 95% of the tax code is about how not to pay taxes Bruce shared something that shaped his whole view. A former IRS auditor once told him: only about 5% of the tax code explains how you pay taxes. The other 95% explains how you don't have to pay taxes. That surprised me at first, but it's true. Congress uses the tax code to steer behavior. If they want more housing, they reward people who provide housing. If they want investment in certain industries, they create incentives there. The incentives exist on purpose. If lawmakers didn't want people to use them, they wouldn't be written into law. “Is this deductible?” vs “How do I make this deductible?” Tax strategist Tom Wheelwright says the wrong question is, “Is this deductible?” The right question is, “How do I make this deductible?” Example: if you travel to evaluate real estate deals and your primary purpose is legitimate business, documented properly, the tax code may allow deductions. The key isn't being clever. The key is following the rules clearly. We never recommend gray areas. Good tax strategies are black-and-white and well documented. Taxes and wealth creation: Tax planning is not tax preparation The tax code is thousands of pages long and changes constantly. Many CPAs are overloaded with compliance work—paperwork, deadlines, filing logistics. So a lot of families get tax preparation, not tax planning. Preparation reports what happened and tells you what you owe. Planning helps you shape what you owe before the year ends. If you want to build wealth, you can't treat planning like an afterthought. You may need a professional whose mindset is: “My job is to help your family pay the least amount of tax legally possible.” Not because taxes are bad, but because every dollar saved is a dollar that can compound, be invested, or be given with purpose. Taxes and wealth creation: The SECURE Act and a silent inheritance tax If you have tax-deferred retirement accounts—401(k)s, IRAs, 403(b)s, SEP IRAs, deferred annuities—you need to understand what changed. Older rules required minimum distributions (RMDs) at age 70½. The SECURE Act pushed that age to 75. That sounds like a gift, but it has a catch: more years of growth means a larger account, which often leads to larger taxable withdrawals later. But the bigger change hits your heirs. The 10-year inherited IRA rule If a tax-deferred account passes to a spouse, they can keep deferring. If it passes to your kids or grandkids, most beneficiaries must empty the account within 10 years. Picture a 45-year-old inheriting a $1 million IRA. Under old stretch rules, they could take small withdrawals over a lifetime. Now many will take around 10% per year—about $100,000 annually—stacked on top of their working income, often in their highest-earning years. That pushes those inherited dollars into their top tax bracket. So the SECURE Act didn't remove taxes. It concentrated them. If you do nothing, your children may pay far more tax on your retirement savings than you ever expected. Taxes and wealth creation: Roth conversions as a legacy move This is where Roth conversions come in. We're not giving advice here—your personal facts matter—but the principle is powerful. A Roth conversion means paying tax on some tax-deferred dollars now so they move into a Roth account. Later withdrawals are tax-free. When the Roth passes to heirs, they still follow the 10-year rule, but distributions are generally income-tax-free. When we run numbers with families, we often find that paying some tax earlier can reduce the total tax bite over two lifetimes—yours and your kids'. For families who care about legacy, that's a big deal. Taxes and wealth creation: Positioning money where compounding can keep working Bruce listed several straightforward ways families can keep more dollars compounding without needing complex structures. Real estate incentives Real estate is a clear example of Congress rewarding behavior. The U.S. needs more housing, so the tax code offers depreciation and, in some cases, bonus depreciation for certain investments. Those deductions can offset taxable income and free up cash flow for more investment. The rules are specific, so strategy and documentation matter. Charitable giving If generosity is already part of your family culture, don't ignore how charitable strategies can lower taxes while letting you support what matters most. Whole life insurance for tax-efficient legacy This is a place where our work often connects the dots. Properly designed whole life insurance has a unique tax profile: cash value grows tax-deferred, you can access it through policy loans without triggering income tax, and the death benefit passes to heirs income-tax-free. We like to say that every tax dollar you save is another dollar you can reposition into assets that serve generations. Whole life often becomes a family gold reserve—liquid in your lifetime, leveraged at death, and protected from future tax surprises. Taxes and wealth creation: Thinking past your lifetime During the episode I shared a golf analogy. Your wealth plan is like a golf swing. Most people only focus on the backswing—everything that happens until you hit the ball. In life, that's “my lifetime.” But legacy is the follow-through. Where does the ball go after contact? What trajectory does your wealth take after you're gone? When you plan only for your life, you miss the biggest multiplier in tax planning: time across generations. When you plan with follow-through, you make different choices today—like paying some taxes sooner—because you see how that can protect your children from a heavier burden later.
Redistricting isn't as complicated as the political class wants you to think. Today, Todd explains what's happening with Indiana's congressional maps, why Trump is urging Republican governors to secure new GOP-leaning districts, and how it all ties into control of the US House and the future of his agenda. Todd breaks down gerrymandering vs normal redistricting, the role of state legislatures, and why many “moderate” Democrats from red states still end up empowering radical leftist leadership in Washington. He also calls out Indiana Senate leader Rod Bray for dodging transparency on this fight and explains why constitutional conservatives must use every legal, moral, and ethical tool to defend liberty.
