CNN's Jake Tapper joins Matt to discuss his new book Race Against Terror, a gripping true story of the US hunt and prosecution of an al-Qaeda fighter named Spin Ghul. They trace the case's origins in Italy and Afghanistan, its lessons about justice and accountability after 9/11, and what it reveals about how America wages its “forever war.” Tapper reflects on writing trauma without spectacle, the moral limits of the war on terror, and the investigators who quietly uphold the rule of law amid politics and fear.

We welcome CNN anchor Jake Tapper to discuss his latest book Race Against Terror, a nonfiction legal thriller set in the long-ago world of 2011 in which the U.S. Department of Justice is dedicated to vigorously defending national security through strict adherence to due process and the rule of law.

A new kind of McCarthyism has settled in at the Justice Department, where career prosecutors—including those handling tough national security cases—are getting canned for voicing any opposition to politically-motivated demands from top DOJ officials. And those who survive the ongoing purge are literally working in fear that they are being surveilled by the FBI. Meanwhile, MTG may play a role in resolving the shutdown. Plus, Tapper's timely new book, his maybe/maybe not text interview with Trump, and the heat he's still taking over his earlier Biden book.

In episode 164, I sat down with Jake Tapper, acclaimed journalist, author, and host of The Lead with Jake Tapper and State of the Union on CNN, to dive deep into his forthcoming book “Race Against Terror.” Our conversation covered why history, especially the stories of terrorism and the global war on terror, must be told through the human perspective. Jake  talked about how he blends journalistic accuracy with the compelling narrative techniques of fiction to keep difficult subjects accessible and — yes — entertaining. It's not enough to list facts or relay tragedies; the only way to reach people is to show why these stories matter on a personal level, connecting readers to the real emotions and experiences of those swept up in events that shape our world. Storytelling about terrorism and history isn't just about recounting the headlines. It's about making sure the stories don't lose their humanity or get buried by controversy. Jake and I agreed that the reason podcasts and books about true crime resonate is because they deliver messy realities with genuine empathy and a structure that draws people in. If we treat terrorism, ideology, or even trauma as disconnected cases or dry bullet points, we lose the chance to learn, empathize, and possibly prevent the next tragedy. Entertaining, accessible storytelling brings people together at the deepest level. It demands answers and spurs personal reflection while empowering us to see the past not just as a series of political moves but as an ongoing human drama full of heartbreak, forgiveness, and difficult choices.

He claims that, as a terrorist, he is responsible for the deaths of American soldiers. This unexpected surrender sets off an unlikely chain of events and one of the most significant, but little-known, cases in American history.When federal prosecutors Dave Bitkower and Shreve Ariail get the call from the FBI that the Italians have known terrorist Spin Ghul in custody, they immediately recognize the stakes of the situation. Determined to deliver justice for the soldiers killed in combat, they must traverse the globe, uncovering facts and evidence from thousands of miles away on a remote battlefield in Afghanistan.Through intense reporting and meticulous recreation, from the battlefield to the courthouse, Race Against Terror tells the story of a man radicalized to enact violence, of the courageous soldiers who risked their lives for each other, and the diverse set of law enforcement, intelligence, and military personnel who work tirelessly to stay one step ahead of disaster. In doing so, Jake Tapper uncovers a gripping narrative history that reveals the true costs of the War on Terror and delivers a salient warning for the increasing threats we face to this day.Available on Amazon:https://a.co/d/h02fg7nBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Thank you for tuning in to I Am Refocused Radio.

Jimmy Kimmel loses two nights of airtime and the media frames it as the greatest free speech atrocity ever—while YouTube quietly agrees to pay Trump $24.5 million for censorship Democrats claim never happened. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, the father of Logan Federico delivers gut-wrenching testimony about his daughter's execution at the hands of a repeat offender let loose by South Carolina judges. And across the pond, Britain unveils its “BritCard”—a digital ID eerily similar to China's social credit system. In this episode, we expose the hypocrisy, the heartbreak, and the blueprint for control coming to America if no one pushes back.

Jake Tapper calls it “the beginning of history” in 2025, but what about the years of censorship leading up to now? Today, Lee and Tara dive into the bizarre narrative surrounding Jimmy Kimmel's suspension, YouTube's $24.5 million settlement with Trump, and the media's attempt to rewrite free speech history. They also cover the emotional testimony of a grieving father whose daughter's murder exposes the deadly failures of liberal judicial policies in the Carolinas. From collapsing late-night ratings to gut-wrenching stories of judicial negligence, this episode uncovers what the mainstream refuses to confront.

Mike and Laureen break down the week's most pressing developments in the Middle East — where narratives and realities collide on the world stage. The hosts tackle and debunk false genocide accusations leveled against Israel, while the dramatic walkout of world leaders during Prime Minister Netanyahu's UN address underscores the deep divisions at the international level. They track the controversial Gaza flotilla — 50 vessels carrying some 500 activists, including Greta Thunberg — now moving under Italian and Spanish naval protection. The discussion then turns to reports of a Trump-Netanyahu meeting outlining a 21-point plan to end the Gaza war, featuring proposals for Gaza's future governance, the release of hostages and a phased IDF withdrawal. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair even emerges as a potential leader of a new Gaza International Transit Authority. Media bias also comes into sharp focus as CNN's Jake Tapper interviews Ambassador Yechiel Leiter, who challenges the framing of Israel's military restraint. And in a powerful conversation with Ben Mulroney, Brooke Goldstein of The Lawfare Project dismantles claims of a Gaza food shortage, exposing how UN aid often empowers Hamas instead of reaching civilians. As we mark Yom Kippur, we wish our listeners a meaningful fast and G'mar Chatima Tovah — may you be inscribed in the Book of Life for good.

CNN's Jake Tapper joins us this morning for a conversation about America's long struggle with terrorism — from the battlefields of Afghanistan to the aftermath of the Arab Spring, and the challenges we continue to face at home. His new book, "Race Against Terror: Chasing an Al Qaeda Terrorist at the Dawn of the Forever War," uncovers one of the most remarkable but little-known cases in recent history.

Hollywood legend Rob Reiner had a string of smash hits in the 80s and 90s and has now written a new book on the iconic Spinal Tap, called ‘A Fine Line Between Clever & Stupid'. He joins Piers Morgan to talk about free speech in today's political climate, drawing on the death of Charlie Kirk and the leftwing rhetoric of comparing Donald Trump to Hitler. He also tells Piers the things said about him by Kamala Harris and Jake Tapper in their books are not true and reveals the movie he'd most like to be remembered for.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Jimmy Kimmel's disputed return to television, a plot to disable New York City's cell network as Trump spoke at the UN, and fresh data showing who really commits the most political violence in America. From free speech battles to global threats and a debate over Left vs. Right violence, today's brief delivers facts and analysis shaping America's future.   Jimmy Kimmel's Return and Free Speech Debate: Democrats celebrated Kimmel's return, calling his suspension “the worst government attack on free speech in generations.” CNN's Jake Tapper said it was “the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I've seen in my lifetime.” But YouTube admitted Biden's White House pressured them to silence millions of Americans, including Charlie Kirk, proving censorship was far broader than Kimmel's case. Sinclair and Nexstar still refused to air Kimmel without an apology, sparking threats from Democrats to break up the networks.   Trump Stuck on UN Escalator and Plots in New York: Security failures left Trump and the First Lady stranded on an escalator before his UN speech, followed by a mic and teleprompter outage. “What is the purpose of the United Nations? … A bad escalator and a bad teleprompter,” Trump quipped. Meanwhile, authorities uncovered a clandestine device network capable of shutting down NYC's cell service, calling it an “imminent threat” from foreign state actors. Trump's speech then blasted Venezuela's cartels, Europe's immigration and energy policies, Russia's war, and calls for Palestinian statehood — declaring of Europe, “Your countries are going to hell.”   Left vs. Right Violence — Who Commits More: Listener Wendy asked who really drives political violence. The Atlantic reported on new CSIS data finding “this year — 2025 — marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber those from the far right.” Bryan points to Antifa and Marxist groups as proof the Left's war is escalating, reminding listeners: “We live in a revolution. Their revolution. And if you disagree with them, you're to be targeted.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Jimmy Kimmel suspension FCC free speech, CNN Jake Tapper free speech quote, YouTube Biden censorship admission, Sinclair Nexstar Kimmel broadcast, Trump UN escalator teleprompter failure, NYC cell network plot foreign state actors, Trump UN speech Venezuela cartels, Trump Europe immigration climate hoax, Trump NATO shoot down Russia jets, Gaza Palestinian state recognition, Wendy listener question political violence, CSIS study left-wing terrorism rise, The Atlantic left-wing attacks 2025

A furious, personal episode about what happens when comedy, politics, and tech collide. We unpack late-night outrage over Jimmy Kimmel, Jake Tapper's on-air claims, and the bombshell admissions from Google/YouTube about government pressure to remove content. Mixing reporters' takes (including Glenn Greenwald's warning about state–corporate power) with lived experience — lost YouTube accounts, rebuilding on Rumble, and the financial and audience hits that follow — this episode asks the hard question: when platforms censor “true” speech, who pays the price? Expect raw anecdotes about stripped followings, subpoenas and congressional fights, a breakdown of how content moderation became a political cudgel, and a call to hold the companies and the government accountable. If you've ever had an account taken down or wondered who decides what's “allowed,” this episode is your primer and your rallying cry.

In this hard-hitting episode, we unpack the shocking double standards in America's media and culture war. From Jimmy Kimmel's controversial statements and suspension, to Jake Tapper's jaw-dropping claims about free speech, we break down how the mainstream narrative often dehumanizes conservatives while ignoring real censorship happening under the Biden administration. We dive into the battle over YouTube and social media censorship, spotlight journalists like Alex Berenson who were punished for telling the truth about COVID, and explore what it really means when the media pretends minor inconveniences are the “worst free speech violations in history.” This episode exposes the stark contrast between performative outrage in Hollywood and the lived reality of Americans silenced for reporting facts.

Seth takes a closer look at Trump directing his attorney general, Pam Bondi, to prosecute his political opponents, as well as his push to silence TV networks by threatening to revoke their broadcast licenses.Then, Jake Tapper talks about how Jimmy Kimmel's show being suspended is blatant government censorship, what this means moving forward and his book Race Against Terror: Chasing an Al Qaeda Killer at the Dawn of the Forever War.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

He's also the #1 New York Times best-selling author of 7 books, including The Outpost (which was later made into a movie), Original Sin, and most recently Race Against Terror. Notes: Be So Good They Can't Ignore You. Jake: I'm in control of how hard I work. It is our responsibility to work so hard that we become the obvious choice for the job or the promotion. Be So Good They Can't Ignore You. "I had to be so good that even though maybe on a broadcasting level I wouldn't be the number one pick... they had to give it to me." The one leadership skill that is massively important to develop… Don't insulate yourself with “yes” people. You have to have truth tellers in your life. Who are your foxhole friends? Who are the people who are willing and able to tell you the truth? Who are the ones who love you and care about you enough to let you know when you've messed up? Those people are gold. We all need them. Rejection: Dr. Seuss was rejected by 47 publishers. Rejection is part of life. You have to stay in the game for a chance to win it. Keep going. And nobody will give you a job to be nice. What value do you bring to a company? How will you make your boss's life better? You get hired to solve a problem, not because someone wants to be nice. Pinned tweet since 2017 – "To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle." -- George Orwell. A reminder to see obvious truths being obscured by spin or wishful thinking. "You Can Always Tell Them No" - Ted Koppel's crucial advice to young Jake about maintaining journalistic integrity and not compromising values for opportunities. This became a career-defining principle that Jake still follows 20 years later. The Jar Jar Binks Theory of Leadership - Successful leaders often remove critics from their inner circle, creating dangerous echo chambers. "Great people often achieve as much as they can to the point that they are able to remove from their inner circle anyone who tells them they're being an asshole or making a wrong decision." Constructive vs. Destructive Criticism - Jake learned to distinguish between useful feedback and personal attacks: "Very few of my critics are people that I actually care what they think... folks who understand I'm just trying to be a good faith operative here." Curiosity as Career Driver - Deep curiosity drove Jake from reading microfiche about MASH as a kid to investigating complex stories as an adult: "I find something interesting and I wanna find out everything I can about it." Rejection as Constant Reality - Even at his career peak, Jake faces daily rejection: "I get rejected every day... it doesn't matter that I've had New York Times bestsellers before... it's part of life." Humility Enables Learning - Accepting expertise gaps allows growth: "Having the humility to accept that I am not an expert on any particular thing... I'm a journalist, which means I try to be an expert on whatever I'm covering at that moment." Leadership Lessons From Powerful People The Inner Circle Problem: Leaders systematically remove critics until surrounded only by yes-people, creating dangerous blind spots. Jake witnessed this pattern with Joe Biden (surrounded by aides and family who weren't honest about his declining acuity) and across industries. The Solution: Intentionally maintain truth-tellers in your inner circle who care about you personally but will challenge you professionally. Creating Truth-Telling Environments: Jake encourages healthy disagreement with executive producers, acknowledges power imbalances that make criticism harder for junior staff, and creates indirect channels for feedback ("some people on the staff think..."). The Criticism Paradox: Public leaders face constant harsh criticism, making them naturally defensive. Understanding this context helps leaders distinguish between constructive feedback that improves performance versus personal attacks that serve no purpose. Following Curiosity Despite Opposition Jake's major works were all advised against by professionals: The Outpost (no military expertise) The Atlantic story of freeing a wrongly imprisoned man Biden book (started the day after the election, despite uncertainty) Key Insight: "Every single one of them, people were telling me not to do it... It's been following my curiosities even when people told me I'm not interested in that." The Hard Work Advantage: Jake couldn't compete on appearance or natural broadcasting ability, so he outworked everyone: broke stories constantly, used blogs when he couldn't get on air, and made himself impossible to ignore through sheer output. Dealing with Rejection Expect constant rejection even at a career peak Don't take rejection personally unless there's constructive feedback Use rejection as data, not judgment of worth Keep creating regardless of immediate acceptance The Wave Metaphor: Like Tom Hanks in Cast Away, timing the waves - "every code can be cracked" if you persist and find the right timing. Key Elements for Writers: Strong structure: "Act one, chase your hero up a tree. Act two: throw rocks at your hero. Act three, get your hero out of the tree." Good editor who pushes back - be willing to "kill your darlings" Life Philosophy The Acceleration Mindset: At 56, Jake is speeding up output: "I don't know how much longer I have this window where people are paying attention... relevance is ephemeral... when it leaves, it looks fucking brutal." For Young People: "So much of life is rejection... You cannot stop it... don't take it personally." Focus on developing skills and delivering value: "Nobody will give you a job to be nice... They'll do it because you have something they want." Time Sacrifice Awareness: Success requires acknowledging costs: "What I cried about is the stuff I missed that I wasn't there for because I was chasing a story or on assignment."
