Pete Hegseth, in an unconventional speech, announces that beardos, weirdos, and wimps are no longer welcome at the Department of War as his boss officially hit the road to campaign for Senate Republicans — whether they want him to or not. Jon and Dan react to Trump's event with Ken Paxton in Texas, Trump proclaiming his love for data centers in a wide-ranging interview with TIME, and Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt's embarrassing mix-up in a Judiciary Committee hearing with former Special Counsel Jack Smith. Then, Rev. Adam Hamilton, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Kansas, talks to Dan about what it'll take to elect the state's first Democratic senator in nearly 100 years, and why he considers himself both a liberal and a conservative.Get your tickets to Crooked Con 2026 at crookedcon.com!Hate listening to ads?

Trump and AI execs pinky swear, Pete Hegseth gets treasonal allergies, and Republicans Make Nixon Great Again.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles take a revealing look inside Donald Trump's world of flunkies, fear and humiliation, where cabinet officials, billionaires and tech titans learn how far they have to bend to stay in his good graces. They examine why figures like Marco Rubio, J.D. Vance and Pete Hegseth have accepted radically different versions of the same bargain, and how Trump's unpredictable mix of praise and fury keeps those around him off balance. They also explore his treatment of women, including the leaked images of Trump berating Natalie Harp, before Wolff explains why, in Trump's second term, almost nobody around him can afford to believe they are his equal. #ad For a limited time, get 60% off your first order, plus free shipping and free treats for life, when you head to https://Smalls.com/HEAD. #ad Download SAILY's app and use code beast at checkout to get an exclusive 15% off your first purchase!

Confidence in economy at a 12 year low, despite positive headlines in relation to jobs and bringing the steel industry back. Youth is running into an economic wall, lots of factors. The people who are in, they are doing are alright, those that aren’t, are struggling. Politicians won’t go away. They live a life of luxury on the taxpayer dime. Hegseth says the military is no longer the woke department, just warriors. Obama combines ability and hatred. He hates America but he hides it well.Follow The Jesse Kelly Show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheJesseKellyShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Straight White American Jesus, Brad Onishi and Dan Miller break down Pete Hegseth's State of the Force speech, which they argue recasts the U.S. military as a Christian crusader army defined by narrow standards of body, gender, and faith. They examine his flattened story of Western civilization, his "appeal to heaven" and "armor of God" language, and the plan to remove bureaucratic oversight from the Office of Religious Affairs. Next, they turn to Senator Eric Schmitt's failed attempt to trap Jack Smith at a congressional hearing, and to Smith's statement that Trump committed serious crimes beyond a reasonable doubt, which got lost in the noise. They then look at new data projecting that roughly 100,000 U.S. churches will close or be repurposed over the next decade, and what that means for claims of a religious resurgence and for Christian nationalism. Reasons for hope include a civic story of shared investment from Zohran Mamdani and the DOJ's 26th loss in its effort to obtain state voter rolls. If you enjoy our work, please subscribe.

Hegseth calls the press treasonous. From Fordham to Imus to NewsNation. Preparation beats panic. And a love letter to NYC. Pete Hegseth just labeled the press treasonous. The White House calls reporters the enemy of the state. And somewhere between the hot takes and the hate mail, working journalists still have to show up every day and tell Americans the truth. On this Friday Football edition, Paul sits down with News Nation anchor Connell McShane — one of the most fair, prepared, and genuinely decent people in cable news — to pull back the curtain on how a centrist newsroom actually operates in Trump's America. McShane breaks down his daily discipline, the independent media bias ratings he uses as a north star, and why he believes a free press is both a privilege and a right. From there the conversation widens into something bigger: how to raise kids, coach a football team, and keep your head on straight when the country feels like it's coming apart. Paul and Connell swap stories on Fordham, John Sterling, Mike Breen, Fraunces Tavern, and the ghosts of George Washington. They close with a full Football Friday slate — Bama-Mississippi State, Ohio State-Iowa, Bills-Pats, and the 12U New York City Lions rolling the wishbone into Queens. It's the no-BS, veteran-led conversation independent Americans need heading into the weekend. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

Finally, some accountability in Washington: Sen. Eric Schmitt's general counsel and poster-holder is in career limbo after the infamous basketball mix-up in the Jack Smith hearing. And Americans seem to be holding Trump responsible for their economic frustrations—he's below the Bush Line. Josh Barro explains: We're not in a recession, but people feel stuck because borrowing costs are higher.

Today's Headlines: A FlyDubai pilot stabbed his co-pilot mid-flight, the plane nosedived 17,000 feet in under two minutes, and six passengers stormed the cockpit to overpower him before an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia. In adjacent news, the UK confirmed "strong indications" that Iran was behind last weekend's suspected bomb plot at the military base used by the US during the Iran war, which Iran denied, because of course they did. Pete Hegseth gave his "State of the Force" address to hundreds of troops, laying out his military vision as "no fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps — clowns are out, cowboys are in," called reporters covering the Iran war "anti-American losers" and accused them of treason, and unveiled a new autonomous warfare drone command called AutoWarCom set to be operational by October 2027, with Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich appointed to study the future of warfare under something called Project Meridian. The FTC opened an investigation into OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI companies over product risks — one day after they were all at Trump's AI lunch table. Trump began sending $500 checks to almost a million people just before the midterms, with a letter about his healthcare record enclosed, because nothing says policy achievement like a check arriving six weeks before an election. And the Massachusetts AG released a report finding 270 Catholic clerics across three dioceses were accused of abusing 944 children over several decades — the first full public accounting since the Boston Globe's Spotlight investigation — with no new indictments possible due to statutes of limitations.

Speaking at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a sweeping outline detailing the administration's vision for the future of the U.S. armed forces. In a speech flanked by junior officers and non-commissioned officers, Hegseth laid out plans for a fundamental restructuring of the Department of Defense - a transition marked by significant ideological shifts, the dismantling of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and the confirmation of plans to eliminate 20% of America's top military general officers and admirals. At the center of this transformation is Project Meridian, a new 120-day government study commissioned to map out technological dominance across next-generation operational domains - including artificial intelligence, autonomous weapons, subterranean warfare, and lunar security.

Elon Musk is back in government. The SpaceX CEO has been tapped to co-lead Project Meridian, a new Department of Defense initiative studying the future of warfare. He's joined by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Palmer Luckey of defense tech company Anduril. The project runs 120 days and will deliver a public report with their recommendations on achieving "absolute technological dominance on the next-generation battlefield." Mark has a very interesting conversation with Marcia Chatelain. She is the Penn Presidential Compact Professor of Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for History for her book Franchise: The Golden Arches in Black America. Now, she has a new book called How Bright the Path Grows: The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the March on Washington . From the federal government wanting to collect state voter rolls to deporting immigrants to third-party countries, there's a lot to talk about on the legal front. We welcome former federal prosecutor, and now defense attorney, David Katz to the show.

Re: latest on the Flydubai hijacking yesterday-Much of the press is writing it as a workplace stabbing, an "altercation," a mental-health mystery, and a think-piece on cockpit-door policy. The weirdest part isn't the near-disaster. It's the vocabulary. Aand...the same outlets that won't say hijack will absolutely say the Defense secretary, Pete Hegseth is a threat.

Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth are escalating their attacks on the American press, with Hegseth accusing parts of the media of "treason" and Trump continuing his praise of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Don breaks down the growing clash between the administration and journalists and speaks to Historian Timothy Snyder. Plus, Cornell University is facing intense scrutiny over its handling of disturbing sexual assault allegations involving members of the Chi Phi fraternity. No criminal charges were initially filed, but prosecutors have now reopened the investigation and the case is expected to go before a grand jury.

Silicon Bites Ep409 | 2026-10-01 | Trump wants compliant allies – supine, dependent, insecure – and possibly divided. Now his animosities and resentments, intrigues and plotting may finally be tearing NATO apart. In this episode: the Pentagon's club of the obedient: why Eldridge Colby's formation of a NATO inner circle heralds the death of the alliance by other means, and why Europe must refuse to play this self-destructive game. Putin is getting all his Christmas presents early, courtesy of Trump. ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.
