Epstein Case Reignites as Trump Calls for Transparency President Trump reverses course and says credible Epstein files should be released. This comes amid new analysis showing missing jail footage from the night Epstein died, raising fresh suspicions about foul play. House Democrats demand full disclosure, while Bryan calls out AG Pam Bondi for mishandling the case. Trump's Economic Agenda Delivers Wins on Minerals, Trade, and Energy The Pentagon and private firms like Apple ramp up investment in U.S. rare earth minerals to cut dependence on China. Trump signs a new trade deal with Indonesia requiring $20 billion in U.S. imports and cooperation to stop Chinese transshipment. Meanwhile, tech giants pledge $56 billion for new AI centers in Pennsylvania, driving demand for nuclear, hydro, and grid expansion. Inflation Holds at 2.7% Amid Questions Over Federal Data Accuracy June's CPI report shows mild inflation, suggesting tariffs aren't yet hitting consumers. But 35% of prices were estimated, not observed. Fueling concerns the Fed may be basing decisions on faulty data. Bryan warns this could keep interest rates unnecessarily high. Trump Tactics with Russia: Escalate to De-Escalate Trump reportedly encouraged Ukraine to consider striking Moscow to push Putin toward a ceasefire. Though he walked it back publicly, Bryan explains this could be a calculated bluff to pressure the Kremlin as the 50-day ceasefire deadline nears. Syrian Massacre Tests Trump and U.S. Intelligence Syrian troops allied with radical Sunni tribes slaughter over 160 Druze civilians, contradicting assurances that President al-Sharaa was a reformed Islamic leader. Israel launched airstrikes to halt the killings, but Trump asks them to hold off. Bryan questions whether U.S. intel got it wrong—or if al-Sharaa has lost control. Anti-Nausea Drug May Cut Breast Cancer Deaths A Norwegian study finds aprepitant, a common nausea medication, reduces cancer relapse and mortality, especially in aggressive triple-negative cases. Researchers are unsure why, but the drug shows potential as a powerful new ally in chemo treatment. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32

In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson interviews Chris Stein, senior politics reporter for The Guardian US, about the "big, beautiful bill" driven by President Trump and congressional Republicans. Stein explains that the bill makes the 2017 tax cuts permanent, primarily benefiting high earners, while also introducing new deductions and extending some relief for select groups. He highlights significant cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, noting these changes are delayed until after the midterms, while increased funding for immigration enforcement and the border wall takes effect more quickly. The episode also addresses the bill's large projected impact on the federal deficit and the political strategy behind delaying the most controversial cuts. Levinson and Stein wrap up with insights into House Democrats' push for Trump-related Epstein files, illustrating the limited tools available to the minority party.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Tax Changes: Immediate Relief, Long-Term Effects: The bill makes the Trump-era tax cuts permanent, creating significant (and expensive) relief that primarily benefits top earners, while also introducing temporary new cuts for working-class voters. However, not everyone qualifies, and the flipside could mean fewer resources for government programs.Social Safety Nets: Delayed Pain, Lasting Impact: Major changes to Medicaid and SNAP (food stamps) are built in—including work requirements and shifting costs to states. Crucially, these cuts are delayed until after the next midterms, affecting rural and Trump-leaning areas the most, but the full consequences won't be felt until later election cycles.Immigration and Deficit: Shifting Priorities, Bigger Budget: The bill pours billions into border enforcement—including ICE, deportations, and the border wall—while still adding an estimated $3.4 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade, eclipsing even the emergency pandemic-era spending.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

Axios.com reported House Democrats claimed their voters feel there “needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public.” But the press doesn't want to cover political violence from the Left, like active shooters at ICE facilities, even when a cop gets shot in the neck.

Rep. Robert Garcia was recently elected as the ranking member of the powerful House Oversight Committee by his fellow House Democrats. He won a top job that usually goes to a senior lawmaker who has spent many years (sometimes decades) in line, dutifully waiting for a turn. And his win might be a sign that the unofficial seniority system of congress is eroding under the weight of young Democrats itching for a bigger seat at the table.  This is only his second term in Congress, but Rep. Garcia, who came to the U.S. from Peru as an undocumented immigrant when he was a child, has already shown that he's a skilled communicator who can find an audience online. He and Kara discuss the power of the Oversight Committee, the future of the Democratic Party, the strategy behind investigating Trump family scandals, the Big Beautiful Bill's impact on ICE, and more.  Questions?

This segment delves into shocking reports of activists sabotaging ICE vehicles in Los Angeles with homemade spike strips—an act the hosts call domestic terrorism. The discussion expands into Axios revelations that House Democrats, speaking anonymously, described their own constituents demanding violence, including calls for bloodshed and open defiance of laws to resist Trump policies. As Hakeem Jeffries stops short of condemning such rhetoric in a CNN interview, the hosts argue this signals tacit approval of escalation. The episode concludes with commentary on New York politics, claiming rising support for radical candidates and a troubling mainstreaming of extremist ideas under the Democratic banner.

House Democrats are hearing calls for violent resistance to the Trump administration from the party's radical left base—and they apparently don't know what to do about it.5) Attorney General Pam Bondi's explanation for the Epstein files and missing minute of security camera video just add fuel to conspiracy fire; 4) Axios reports Democratic Party's radical base is calling for blood; 3) Flooding in North Carolina follows Tropical Storm Chantal; 2) Astronomers think they've found another dwarf planet beyond Neptune; 1) New York Times apologizes to its readers for story damaging to Democratic Party nominee for New York City mayor.SkyWatchTV's Joe Ardis Horn, Derek Gilbert, and Sharon Gilbert are featured speakers at the Go Therefore Conference in Brookville (Dayton), Ohio July 25–26.

In this intense commentary, the host examines a viral Axios article claiming House Democrats face mounting pressure from constituents demanding extreme measures—including risking violence—to resist Donald Trump's immigration policies. The segment alleges a pattern of coordinated attacks on ICE and Border Patrol agents, links to radical activism, and a larger strategy to overwhelm the system with mass illegal immigration. Featuring remarks from Stephen Miller and historical examples of arson and intimidation, the broadcast argues America is entering a “slow-rolling civil war,” driven by what the host sees as Democrats merging with criminal elements to secure power.

In this fiery and controversial broadcast, the host warns of a national turning point, alleging that Democratic leadership is fostering a climate of political violence and societal breakdown. Citing an Axios article featuring anonymous House Democrats, the segment claims the left is inciting unrest through inflammatory rhetoric, normalization of violence, and complicity with criminal elements like MS-13. The show connects these themes to broader accusations of media manipulation, economic misinformation surrounding tariffs, and elitist deception. A scathing critique of establishment narratives, the episode frames the American people as wiser than the ruling class, and suggests the country is at the brink of internal conflict. Viewer discretion advised.

This gripping broadcast details a wave of escalating violence targeting federal immigration officers across the U.S. Following anonymous admissions from House Democrats that their constituents “want blood,” attacks erupted—including an assassination attempt on ICE agents in McAllen, Texas, and coordinated efforts in Los Angeles and Portland to trap agents inside buildings and burn them alive. The host describes how masked Antifa groups and radical activists have refined these deadly tactics since the “Summer of Love,” aided by alleged indifference—or even complicity—from Democrat leaders like L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. As MS-13 gangs tighten their hold over MacArthur Park, scenes of cartel-style control and open-air drug markets are becoming a grim reality. The episode paints a dire picture of the merging of extremist violence, political cover, and organized crime in American cities.

Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss public reaction to the bill and its potential role as a midterm talking point. Later, she weighs in on a new SCOTUS case to be heard on trans athletes, the Russian-Ukraine conflict, and polling on American pride.

It looks like Hamas is ready to reject yet another ceasefire deal brokered by the Trump administration and agreed to by Israel. House Democrats put out a fear porn speech delivered by Dollar Store Obama, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY). It looks like Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released emails today showing how the FBI intentionally hid the investigation into Chinese interference in the 2020 election, meaning former FBI Director Christopher Wray might be in for some serious legal trouble. For two months in a row, now, we have not had a single illegal released into the United States of America. At the same time, it looks like Paramount, owners of CBS News and 60 Minutes is going to settle with Trump over their edits of their interview with then VP Kamala Harris.

Secretary of Education Linda McMahon and Riley Gaines both comment on this huge win for women and girls in sports and in their private spaces.

What does national leadership really look like? Despite all of President Donald Trump's rhetoric, it's not like running a business. It's not even like running a state. It's running a massive apparatus that employs millions of people and also a military, while dealing with every other country that needs to or wants to deal with your country. Frequently, it also requires doing all of that in the the middle of a crisis. Former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had to contend with a horrifying domestic terror attack and COVID-19, alongside a political environment in which she needed to appeal to rural farmers, indigenous communities and her Labour Party constituency. She joins us to talk about her new memoir, 'A Different Kind of Power,' about her rise in politics and the lessons she learned about leadership.And in headlines: Early intelligence suggests the U.S. strikes on Iran only set the country's nuclear program back by a few months, more than 100 House Democrats joined Republicans to defeat a long-shot bid to impeach Trump over the strikes, and HHS Secretary Robert F.

Today's Headlines: President Trump called for a ceasefire between Iran and Israel Monday night—then accused both sides of not knowing “what the fuck they're doing” after the ceasefire didn't immediately happen.  By Tuesday, a fragile truce emerged, though both sides warned they'd resume attacks if provoked. Trump also abruptly tweeted that China could keep buying Iranian oil—despite his prior threats—after they helped keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Meanwhile, a leaked classified report revealed that U.S. airstrikes only set back Iran's nuclear program by a few months, not the “total obliteration” Trump implied. The White House dismissed the report as inaccurate and “demeaning.” In Florida, construction has started on a bizarre new 1,000-bed immigration detention center—dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz”—deep in the Everglades, where escapees would allegedly face only pythons and gators. Toy prices are spiking due to tariffs on Chinese goods, rising faster than inflation. At the same time, nearly 2 million student loan borrowers may soon see wage garnishment as Trump-era loan collections ramp back up. House Democrats elected Rep.

A ceasefire between Israel and Iran appears to be holding at this hour.President Trump spoke briefly to reporters this morning on the White House lawn. He used an expletive and said he was unhappy that the two countries had both initially violated the agreement to pause attacks. More than a week after Israel kicked off the new war with Iran, Trump intervened on Saturday by ordering a U.S. strike on three Iranian nuclear sites. This morning the president has been re-posting messages on social media from supporters calling his handling of the conflict “an overwhelming…victory” and “a historic masterclass.” But a member of Washington's congressional delegation disagrees. Guest: Adam Smith is a House Democrat who represents parts of Bellevue and Seattle all the way to Auburn and Federal Way.

Join Jim and Greg for 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the Trump vs. Musk social media melee on Thursday and what it means for the fate of the Big Beautiful Bill, some House Democrats actually appearing to do something productive, and the probe into the Biden administration's use of the autopen.First, they take you step-by step through the quick disintegration of the Donald Trump-Elon Musk friendship: from Musk calling the siganture GOP legislation a "disgusting abomination" to Trump calling Elon crazy and threatening to void his government contracts to Elon saying Trump is in the Epstein report and agreeing that Trump should be impeached. Jim says they both have valid points concerning the legislation but suspects the overall impact of this fight will be bad for conservatives.Next, they're stunned to find a few House Democrats actually focusing on something that deserves attention. New York Rep. Ritchie Torres and several of his colleagues are asking Homeland Security and the Director of National Intelligence for an update on their investigations into China's sinister cyber terrorism in the Volt Typhoon and Typhoon Salt attacks. There's no evidence the Trump administration isn't investigating these attacks, but it's always good to keep keep a very close eye on China.Finally, they examine the investigation into the Biden administration using the autopen to sign pardons, executive orders, and more. While it's likely Biden misunderstood or forgot much of what he signed, and possible things were signed in his name, they suspect it's going to be hard to prove that things were enacted without his consent - unless the Biden staffers start revealing more as their infighting gets more intense.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. If your revenues are at least in the seven figures, download the free e-book from NetSuite, “Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders” at https://Netsuite.com/Martini

President Trump has raged at Bruce Springsteen for days, demanding investigations as retaliation against him for criticizing the president. This is easy to dismiss as the usual lunacy, but Rolling Stone reports that there's a genuine idea at work here: Trump has long planned to use government agencies to constrain his opponents' political activities, and that's now under way. Indeed, the U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, staunch Trump ally Alina Habba, just brought charges against a House Democrat for trumped up reasons. Given all this, Trump's fury at Springsteen suddenly looks a lot darker. So we talked to Rolling Stone writer Asawin Suebsaeng, co-author of that article. He explains how Trump is slowly escalating the use of investigatory power against political foes, what the GOP is doing to make this possible, and why the trend is deeply “chilling.” Looking for More from the DSR Network?

Hillsdale College Radio General Manager and Radio Free Hillsdale Hour host Scot Bertram fills in for Jim on Tuesday's 3 Martini Lunch. Join Scot and Greg as they dissect the media's latest effort to protect President Biden, a New Jersey congresswoman facing a felony charge, a Justice Department probe into the Chicago mayor's hiring practices, and college students increasingly leaning on artificial intelligence to complete their coursework.First, after a quick take on the media once again running interference for Biden, Scot and Greg focus on U.S. Attorney Alina Habba charging New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver with assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law enforcement during an incident at a New Jersey ICE facility earlier this month. House Democrats are outraged and are threatening retaliation. Scot notes the partisan double standard when it comes to legal accountability, while Greg dismisses the idea that elected officials are somehow immune from arrest under any circumstances.Next, they examine the Justice Department's investigation into whether Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson discriminated in city hiring by prioritizing candidates based on race. The probe follows Johnson's recent remarks explaining his preference for hiring black employees. Scot says the issue becomes obvious when you read the same statement but refer to a different race.Finally, they shake their heads as college professors are scrambling to stop students from using artificial intelligence to do their work. They're also stunned at how helpless many students feel without it. Scot shares how Hillsdale addresses the problem and argues the issue reveals something deeper about why students attend college in the first place.Please visit our great sponsors:It's free, online, and easy to start—no strings attached.

Welcome to the jetstream, where elite criminal impunity flies above laws and accountability. Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman joins Gaslit Nation to connect the global dots on oligarchy in the White House.  We start with Qatar, a small but powerful gas station dictatorship, and a leading financier of terrorists. Once diplomatically isolated for its links to fellow terror-state Iran as well as groups linked to Al-Qaeda and ISIS, Qatar has been back in business, brokering nuclear talks with Russia and Iran, investing billions with the Kremlin, propping up Hamas, and gifting Trump a $400,000 luxury jet, dubbed a “flying palace.” National security risk? Absolutely. Surveillance threat? Almost certainly. Bribery? Looks like it. But what is Qatar getting in return? Qatar, the second-largest buyer of U.S. weapons, after its nemesis Saudi Arabia, recently secured a $2B U.S. arms deal, thanks to Trump. It also invested $10 billion in a Texas-based natural gas venture that requires federal oversight, under Trump. Andrea and Olga go through all the ways Trump and Qatar enjoy kleptocratic quid-pro-quo, and years of Trump's Middle East-linked corruption that illegally helped him come to power in 2016, enriching him and his family, Kremlin-style.  This week's bonus show, available for subscribers at the Truth-teller level ($5/month) and higher, looks at ways to stay grounded and fight back in the deliberately engineered chaos of oligarchy and its firehose of corruption. Be sure to sign up for a discounted annual subscription to get bonus shows, all shows ad-free, and more.
