At Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, 41-year-old Ayman Mohamed Ghazali, a Lebanese-born naturalized U.S. citizen, allegedly rammed a truck into the building near the early childhood center, breached doors, drove down a hallway, and engaged in gunfire with security officers, who shot him. No children or synagogue members were killed or seriously injured. Separately, at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, 36-year-old Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former Virginia Army National Guard member previously convicted and imprisoned for attempting to provide material support to ISIS, entered a classroom during an ROTC session, shouted "Allahu Akbar," and opened fire, killing one and injuring two others.

An especially noteworthy 2026 primary election has come and gone, and there were a lot of important and high-profile outcomes – some expected and some surprising. Topping the list of predicted results were the outcomes in the Democratic and Republican U.S. Senate primaries, where former Gov. Roy Cooper and GOP party official Michael Whatley cruised to easy wins and are now set for what all expect to be an expensive November showdown. Interestingly, however, despite its national importance, the Senate primaries were partially overshadowed by a Republican primary in a state Senate race in which longtime Senate leader Phil Berger and Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page are headed for a recount. NC Newsline caught up with Western Carolina University political science professor Chris Cooper to review these and other results.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program joined by John Stewart from the North Carolina political arena to talk about the statewide Senate race and the stunning shakeups in the General Assembly. The two dive straight into the U.S. Senate contest, breaking down Michael Whatley’s commanding primary performance and the looming general election battle against Governor Roy Cooper. Stewart argues that despite Cooper’s decades of statewide victories, a narrow early polling margin should raise eyebrows and signals a far more competitive race than many expected. The conversation then turns to major legislative surprises, including a wave of incumbent losses and the razor-thin outcome in the race involving longtime Senate leader Phil Berger. Stewart highlights the historic implications of Berger’s potential defeat, calling it one of the biggest political upsets North Carolina has seen in decades. Together, Brett and Stewart analyze what these results mean for power dynamics in Raleigh and the political battles ahead. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

During his 2024 campaign to return to the White House, President Trump promised American voters that he would almost immediately deliver a new era of peace and prosperity. Today, a little over a year since his return to office, it's increasingly clear that most Americans do not believe he has delivered. In addition to a string of losses for Trump allies in a series of special elections, several new opinion surveys indicate that most Americans – including a  significant percentage of Republicans – are unhappy with rising costs of everything from housing to health care to groceries. And yet, despite these trends, Trump retains a core of strong supporters – and this is true in North Carolina – who remain loyal and willing to accept his characterization of the facts, even when they're contradicted by official statistics. And recently to get a better handle on this situation, Newsline sat down for an extended chat with the author of one of the most recent polls, veteran Catawba College political scientist, Prof. Michal Bitzer. In Part One of our recent extended conversation with veteran Catawba College political scientist, Prof. Michael Bitzer, we discussed recent polling numbers that indicate that while President Trump retains a core of strong supporters, his overall approval ratings are waning in light of several controversial global policy actions and an economy that's failing to live up to his campaign promise of lower prices and bigger paychecks. In Part Two of our chat, we continued our discussion of the widespread discontent over the state of the economy, as well as the general bipartisan dissatisfaction with the performance of the U.S. Congress. In addition, we checked in on the continued strong polling numbers for North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein and looked ahead to the upcoming North Carolina U.S. Senate contest in which former Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper is expected to face one of a group of lesser-known Republican candidates.

Tune in here to this Friday edition of The Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the show with Pete Kaliner for the long-awaited Friday Hangover, and the conversation goes exactly where you’d expect—everywhere. From playful ribbing about names, letters, umlauts, schwas, and radio mispronunciations, Brett and Pete ease listeners into the morning with sharp wit and off-the-cuff humor. The duo then pivots to more serious territory, reacting to student walkouts, ideological activism in schools, and the long-term consequences of politicized education. Pete breaks down how different systems identify “top performers,” Later we’re joined by Don Brown to discuss the growing political firestorm surrounding what Brett has dubbed the “Cooper COVID scam” and its implications for public safety in North Carolina. Brown, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, lays out his case against former Governor Roy Cooper, arguing that pandemic-era policies were used to justify the release of roughly 3,500 inmates—decisions he says reflect a long pattern of being soft on crime. The conversation digs into accountability, including questions about the role of then–Attorney General Josh Stein, and whether state leadership bears responsibility for the consequences that followed.

Tune in here to this Friday edition of The Brett Winterble Show! we’re joined by Don Brown to discuss the growing political firestorm surrounding what Brett has dubbed the “Cooper COVID scam” and its implications for public safety in North Carolina. Brown, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, lays out his case against former Governor Roy Cooper, arguing that pandemic-era policies were used to justify the release of roughly 3,500 inmates—decisions he says reflect a long pattern of being soft on crime. The conversation digs into accountability, including questions about the role of then–Attorney General Josh Stein, and whether state leadership bears responsibility for the consequences that followed.

Tune in here to this Thursday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about what he sees as a dramatic shift in White House strategy and the political fallout he believes is rattling Democrats nationwide. He argues that renewed scrutiny of fraud, law enforcement actions, and transparency is exposing long-simmering controversies, including what he dubs “Cooper-gate,” surrounding the release of thousands of inmates and the lack of public accountability around their backgrounds. Brett questions Governor Roy Cooper’s denials, calls for full disclosure, and suggests panic is setting in among political insiders as details continue to emerge. We’re joined by Michael Whatley from North Carolina, former RNC chairman and U.S. Senate candidate, to talk about the growing controversy surrounding Governor Roy Cooper’s prison release settlement and broader concerns over public safety and accountability. Whatley breaks down the lawsuit that led to the release of roughly 3,500 inmates during Cooper’s tenure, the secrecy around the list of those released, and the revelation that DeCarlos Brown Jr.—later convicted in a fatal Charlotte light rail murder—was among them. He rejects claims that the early release “doesn’t count,” arguing responsibility still rests with the governor who approved the deal. The discussion also touches on cashless bail, repeat offenders, and unanswered questions about how many other released inmates may have gone on to commit violent crimes. Throughout the conversation, Whatley calls for transparency, a public reckoning, and clearer explanations from Roy Cooper as he seeks higher office, framing the issue as a defining test of leadership, judgment, and commitment to keeping communities safe. Brett is also joined by Patrick Dorinson, author of The Common Sense Cowboy’s Guide to Life, to talk about cowboy values, personal responsibility, and timeless life lessons that feel increasingly rare in modern culture. Dorinson shares his unconventional journey from suburban California into the working cowboy world, explaining how loss, hard-earned experience, and time on the range shaped his outlook. The conversation explores the importance of trust, keeping your word, self-reliance, and learning how to fix problems instead of outsourcing responsibility or blame. Dorinson contrasts old-school common sense with today’s impulse to litigate mistakes and avoid accountability, arguing that adversity is often life’s best teacher. He also reflects on regret, resilience, and the need to stop dwelling on “what might have been” in favor of action and perseverance. Throughout the segment, Brett and Dorensen highlight a shared belief that character, grit, and humility remain essential tools for navigating a chaotic world.

North Carolina primary election is just weeks away, and it looks like our state will play host to one of the nation's most expensive and important U.S. Senate races as former Democratic governor Roy Cooper heads toward a fall clash with one of three candidates seeking the Republican nomination. Of course, all of this comes at a time of profound national division and turmoil as President Trump continues to pursue an agenda that polls say most Americans view as reckless and unattuned to their needs. At such a moment, it seemed to us like a good time to check in with one of our state's most experienced political observers, veteran Democratic consultant and columnist Thomas Mills. And as Mills told us in Part One of our extended conversation, this fall's elections are likely to show once again that North Carolina remains one of the nation's most closely divided states. In Part Two of our chat, we examined the fascinating state Senate contest in Rockingham and Guilford counties in which long-time Republican leader and Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger faces a formidable challenge from popular Rockingham County Sheriff Sam Page. We also discussed whether there is a chance for Democrats to gain any seats in the state legislature and U.S. House delegations in light of aggressive Republican gerrymandering and what Mills sees as some of the key issues that are likely to be foremost in voters' minds as they go to the polls.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Follow the Epstein Money The Epstein Transparency Act, which passed unanimously in the Senate after near-unanimous House approval. Buck breaks down what this means: once President Trump signs the bill, the Justice Department will have 30 days to release Jeffrey Epstein-related files. The discussion explores whether these disclosures will provide real answers or lead to further demands for transparency. Buck emphasizes the unanswered question of Epstein’s billion-dollar fortune and the suspicious financial transactions flagged by JP Morgan and Deutsche Bank. He argues that following the money is key to uncovering the truth. Clay Calls in from Italy Clay calls from Rome and shares details of his mission: delivering an invitation for the Pope to throw out the first pitch at a future Chicago White Sox game, a unique gesture tied to the team’s new ownership and stadium plans. This segment blends sports, faith, and global intrigue, making it a must-hear for fans of both baseball and world affairs. A Critical Race in NC Buck welcomes Michael Whatley, former RNC Chair and current candidate for U.S. Senate in North Carolina. Whatley details the fallout from Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of legislation requiring sheriffs to honor ICE detainers, which has led to a surge in illegal immigration and crime. They discuss shocking statistics, including 21,000 students absent from Charlotte schools in one day due to immigration enforcement fears, and over 200 arrests of criminal illegal aliens in recent ICE operations. Whatley warns of the massive financial burden on state resources—from Medicaid to education—and contrasts his tough-on-crime stance with Cooper’s record of vetoing tax cuts, police pay raises, and bills protecting women’s sports. He predicts the North Carolina Senate race will be the most expensive in U.S. history, with Democrats pouring in hundreds of millions to flip the seat. The Misled Boss Babes Buck dives into a Pew Research study on marriage trends among Gen Z, revealing that only 61% of 12th-grade girls want to marry compared to 74% of boys. He critiques cultural messaging that promotes “boss babe” ideology and hookup culture, arguing it misleads young women and undermines long-term happiness. Buck contrasts this with a resurgence of traditional values among young men, who increasingly reject toxic masculinity narratives and embrace leadership, family, and faith. He calls for a cultural reset that prioritizes stable family formation and meaningful relationships over superficial social media-driven dating norms.

Trump spokesperson Caroline Leavitt tore into the press for burying the brutal murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Irina Zaretska—a young woman who fled war for safety in America only to be slaughtered on a Charlotte train. While legacy media obsessed over smearing Daniel Penny for defending New Yorkers, they ignored a career criminal freed by Democrat judges who left Irina to die alone. This segment exposes how blue-city policies, DEI courts, and Democrat leaders like Roy Cooper and Josh Stein have turned justice into a joke, doubling Charlotte's homicide rate since 2019. Americans are seeing firsthand the deadly cost of Democrat rule.

Global outrage is building as the hunger crisis in Gaza descends into new depths of horror. Even aid workers themselves — the people tasked with helping Palestinians find food and water — say they, too, are starving. The ballooning crisis comes amid months of severe aid restrictions imposed by Israel, which has justified its actions with claims that Hamas has been stealing food and other supplies to maintain its control of the territory. But even President Donald Trump said Monday that Israel needs to do more to let aid in. Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen joins us to talk about the worsening hunger crisis in Gaza, how the U.S. is complicit, and what should be done next.And in headlines: President Trump declines to rule out a pardon for Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, former North Carolina Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper announces a Senate run, and a federal judge blocks Medicaid cuts for Planned Parenthood clinics.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Join Jim and Greg for Thursday's 3 Martini Lunch as they examine whether anyone from President Obama's administration will be held accountable for concocting and executing the bogus Trump-Russia collusion narrative, Democrats scoring a major recruiting win in North Carolina's Senate race, and what Ghislaine Maxwell might reveal today in her DOJ interview about the Epstein scandal.First, they react to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard explaining how President Obama and his national security team fabricated intelligence to undermine Donald Trump's first term. They also discuss why it's probably going to be very difficult to prosecute or convict members of the team for their actions.Next, they wince as Democrats in North Carolina reportedly succeed in convincing former Gov. Roy Cooper to run for the Tar Heel State's open U.S. Senate seat. They explain what makes Cooper a tough opponent for the GOP and size up likely Republican candidate and current Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley.Finally, they wonder what Justice Department officials are hoping to learn from Ghislaine Maxwell today as they interview her about Jeffrey Epstein's repulsive exploitation of girls and other people who were involved. They also address reports that Maxwell is expecting a pardon or commutation for cooperating with the DOJ.Please visit our great sponsors:Upgrade your skincare routine with Caldera Lab and see the difference.  Visit https://CalderaLab.com/3ML and use code 3ML at checkout for 20% off your first order.Manage your workplace stress with Betterhelp.
