Trump's UFC White House stunt was quite the spectacle. President Trump's birthday party/UFC fight event on the White House lawn brought out the bros, from Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Kris Marszalek, CEO of Crypto.com and David Ellison, the CEO of Paramount Skydance to Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel. Was the event intended to rescue a “macho” image for a president that seems to be getting weaker  and sleepier by the day? A president made to look even weaker by not being able to steamroll Iran as he planned?  Mark will discuss. The conversation continues with author and scholar Sarah Kendzior.

This week Jackie Broyles and Dunlap yell about: Trump's birthday White House UFC fight NYT Haberman article on Situation Room Epstein Panic featuring JD Vance, Susie Wiles, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and more! Who's the smartest? (None of them.) Who cares about the victims? (None of them.)  Plus: the Iran war is over/still rages; Trump brags about bomb costs; Pete Hegseth says Mormons ain't Christian, uses D-Day to smug-holler about invading migrant hordes in Europe; and Tennessee's new law requireds immigrant children receiving medical care (Cancer! Heart disease! Diabetes care!) to get reported to ICE if they want to keep receiving medicine, which they won't, because then they'll be deported. Jesus Loves The Little Children? All the children of the world? Not Tennessee Jesus, I reckon. Plus Trump's name comes off the Kennedy Center (we're all paying for this stuff), Trump sleeps at the Knicks game, Chuck Norris, dirt bikes, Medicaid cuts. Red Neck Matinee episode on Breaker!

Bucket by bucket, the Knicks clawed back from a 29-point deficit in the second half. FBI leads World Cup security, coordinating with DHS, local police, and foreign agencies. Director Patel highlights drone, terror, mass shooting, cyber, and other threats. According to Fresno County Clerk/Registrar of Voters James A. Kus, the warehouse at 4525 E. Hamilton Avenue was evacuated after an Uninterrupted Power Supply device in a nearby facility was found smoking and potentially releasing harmful gases. Every global spectacle needs a code.

President Donald Trump has changed a lot about American foreign policy – and to many, America itself. But a lot of the issues facing this country were around long before he became president. Ben Rhodes' new book, All We Say: The Battle for American Identity: A History in 15 Speeches, tells the story of this country through speeches by figures like Ben Franklin, Martin Luther King, and yes, Donald Trump. We spoke with Ben about what those speeches reveal about being American, and what Trump's actions in Iran can tell us about his presidency and our country.And in headlines, President Trump continues to whiplash in Iran talks, we have a new pick for the Director of National Intelligence, and Kash Patel prepares the FBI for the World Cup.Show Notes: Check out Ben's book – https://tinyurl.com/pxpr6t8c Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/y4y2e9jy What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

We dive into Ivanka and Jared's Albanian nightmare. What were they really up to while trying to develop a private island in Albania on protected land, and what are the ramifications of this secret operation in the broader war of democracy vs. fascism? Why are they trying to buy an island in a part of the world notorious for sex trafficking?  These questions matter in light of Ivanka's brother marrying Epstein's longtime banker, and the new bombshell reporting out of the New York Times. The Times reports that the Kremlin Klown Kar (KKK) in the White House uses our tax payer-funded Situation Room–meant for sensitive national security matters–to plot the ongoing Epstein cover-up, protecting Epstein's longtime friend, convicted felon Donald Trump. Look to the show notes for a gift link of the New York Times' reporting.  For this week's bonus show, Russian mafia expert Ogla Lautman helps connect the dots on what is up with Ivanka and Jared's mysterious island in Albania, a part of the world known for sex-trafficking. Should we be concerned? The Albanian people are–they're storming their own government in a growing anti-corruption movement over Jared and Ivanka's attempts to buy an ecologically protected island.  We also discuss Ben Black, Leon Black's son, getting a job in the Trump administration. Both father and son are all over the Epstein files.  To listen to this full episode and support our independent journalism, subscribe to Gaslit Nation on Patreon.com/Gaslit or GaslitNation.Substack.com – thank you to everyone who supports the show – we could not make Gaslit Nation without you!    Show Notes:  Inside the White House Freakout Over the Epstein Files The president's top advisers gathered in a series of Situation Room meetings as they struggled to contain a scandal engulfing Donald Trump himself. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/10/magazine/trump-epstein-files-white-house-vance-doj.html?unlocked_article_code=1.pVA.8Bpw._gUv6lvoFPWC&smid=url-share   Situation Room Scramble Over Sick Trump Fetish Claim Revealed https://www.thedailybeast.com/situation-room-scramble-over-sick-trump-fetish-claim-revealed/   Records: SC woman accused Trump, Epstein of sexual abuse in 1980s https://www.wistv.com/2026/03/09/records-sc-woman-accused-trump-epstein-sexual-abuse-1980s/   Donald Trump groped me in what felt like a 'twisted game' with Jeffrey Epstein, former model alleges https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/23/donald-trump-accuser-stacey-williams-jeffrey-epstein   Dozens of FBI records apparently missing from Epstein files, including Trump accuser interviews https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/24/us/epstein-files-trump-accuser-missing-files-invs   Justice Department publishes documents with sexual assault allegations against Trump https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/05/donald-trump-epstein-files-allegations-00816123   Opening clip: Rep.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles dive into a week that may reveal the limits of Donald Trump's political dominance, from being loudly booed at a packed Knicks playoff game to turning the White House lawn into a UFC spectacle for his birthday celebration. Wolff argues that Trump's drive to stamp his name on everything—from sports to immigration to the World Cup—is creating a growing list of political liabilities that now point directly back to him, while Coles recounts seeing firsthand how little attention Trump commanded inside Madison Square Garden. The pair also unpack Trump's combative Meet the Press interview, RFK Jr.'s mysterious absence from governing while building a potential post-Trump movement, JD Vance's positioning for the future, Kash Patel's loyalty tests inside the administration, and the emerging Republican battles that could shape 2028. Along the way, Wolff offers a revealing look at how Trump's inner circle survives by managing his impulses, and why the president's inability to recognize mistakes may be the defining story of his second term.

In this episode, Jimmy criticizes former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino for reversing his position on the Jeffrey Epstein case after entering government, contrasting Bongino's past calls for transparency with his later defense of the FBI's handling of the matter. Jimmy highlights a series of social media exchanges in which Bongino mocked him personally, arguing that the attacks avoid addressing substantive questions about the Epstein investigation and document releases.  The discussion also revisits an old recorded phone call between Bongino and a journalist from Politico, presenting it as evidence that Bongino deflects difficult questions with insults rather than direct answers. Throughout the video, Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger contend that federal authorities, including Bongino and his former boss Kash Patel, failed to deliver the transparency they previously promised regarding Epstein-related records and investigations. Plus a segment on how Iran's attack on Israel changes the entire Middle East power dynamic. Also featuring Stef Zamorano!

DESCRIPTION:   Kash Patel is not as think as you drunk he is … again. And if you tell someone about it, he'll strap you to a polygraph.   The DC Circuit seems likely to side with Senator Mark Kelly in his lawsuit against Pete Hegseth for trying to steal his pension.   The DOJ subpoenaed a hospital in Rhode Island for medical records of kids receiving gender affirming care. While the parties were negotiating, the DOJ filed a petition to enforce in Texas, which their hand-picked Judge Reed O'Connor instantly granted. Now the hospital has appealed to the Fifth Circuit (ughhh) and the Rhode Island Child Advocate has filed a motion to quash in the District of Rhode Island.   Our Doofus of the Day is Chief Justice John Roberts. It won't always be someone on the Supreme Court, but when you stand up in front of hundreds of lawyers to whine about how unfair it is that people think your obviously political Supreme Court is political, how could we resist?   MAIN SHOW:   The 11th Circuit has joined two other circuit courts of appeal in ruling that the Trump administration cannot use the mandatory detention provisions of the Immigration and Naturalization Act to hold any immigrant, anywhere in the US, for any length of time and with no opportunity for a bond hearing.   The DOJ is so desperate to hire lawyers that they're offering signing bonuses and tipping current employees with "retention incentive allowances" to keep them from fleeing. Turns out, competent lawyers don't like harassing trans kids for sport and indicting Democratic politicians on spurious grounds.   Judge Coleen McMahon ruled that DOGE illegally dismantled the National Endowment for the Humanities when the bros fed the grantee database into ChatGPT with an instruction to find grants were "DEI."   The Southern Poverty Law Center says the government's public lies about the case — lookin' at you, Todd Blanche — are so egregious that the court should hand over the grand jury transcript.   Judges in Rhode Island and Texas are dueling over the DOJ's subpoena for the medical record for transgender minors.   READING LIST: How Professional Wrestling Prepared Linda McMahon for Trump's Cabinet   Kash Patel's Personalized Bourbon Stash https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/05/kash-patel-fbi-bourbon/687066/   Kash Patel ordered polygraphs of more than two dozen members of his team, sources tell MS NOW https://www.ms.now/news/kash-patel-ordered-polygraphs-of-more-than-two-dozen-members-of-his-team-sources-tell-ms-now   DOJ Offers Lawyers $25,000 Signing Bonuses as Hiring Lags https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/doj-offers-lawyers-25-000-signing-bonuses-as-recruitment-lags   US.

DESCRIPTION:   The Onion's plan to take over Infowars looks to have succeeded at last.   A judge in Rhode Island became the fifth to reject the DOJ's voter roll grab. But Harmeet Dhillon, head of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, is undeterred. Now she's trying to snatch ballots from Wayne County, Michigan.    Trump's Justice Department is negotiating with Trump's lawyers to decide how much taxpayer money to pay Trump for the illegal disclosure of his tax returns in 2020. The statutory max is $1,000 per return. He wants $10 billion.    The DOJ has hired Joe diGenova, a Reagan-era US Attorney, to spice up the grand conspiracy investigation into all Trump's enemies taking place in Florida under the watchful eye of Judge Aileen Cannon.   And Pennsylvania's intermediate appellate court rules that the state's ban on abortion coverage under Medicaid violates both the Pennsylvania Equal Rights Amendment and the state constitution's equal protection provisions.   MAIN SHOW:   FBI Director (for now) Kash Patel is big mad over an article in The Atlantic reporting that his drinking is freaking out everyone around him.

May 31, 2026, 9 AM; Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is scheduled to appear before a House Appropriations subcommittee Tuesday, where he could face new questions about the Department of Justice's mishandling of the investigation. In her interview with the House Oversight Committee Friday, Former Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared to shift blame for the mishandling of the files' release onto Blanche, saying she “delegated oversight” to Blanche for the investigation and the release of the files. Bondi also reportedly raised questions about FBI director Kash Patel's role in the files release. Congressman Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the Overisight Committee says the panel will subpoena both Blanche and Patel. Rep. Ro Khanna joins The Weekend to share his thoughts on Pam Bondi's evasive testimony.

Washington has long perfected the art of political theater, where outrage is loudly paraded before cameras only to evaporate when accountability is required. On the campaign trail, fiery speeches about corruption and justice come easy—rhetoric designed for applause, not action. Yet when those same figures sit under oath, the fire dies out, replaced by carefully hedged statements and dismissive legal jargon. It's not about uncovering truth; it's about protecting power.That's the script Kash Patel followed to the letter. After crowing about Epstein's crimes for political gain, he turned around and downplayed survivor testimony as “not credible” when speaking before the Senate. The hypocrisy couldn't be clearer. What once served as an applause line became an inconvenient truth, quickly discarded in favor of denial. The mask slipped, the act collapsed, and what was revealed was not a defender of justice but yet another operator shielding the powerful under the guise of credibility.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jon Herold comes in Wednesday on a slow news day that gets genuinely interesting when a chat member drops a link and Jon discovers 98,000 AI-powered Flock surveillance cameras mapped across the United States, run by a private company that shares data freely with law enforcement and ICE. He had never heard of them. Now he has feelings. Trump's cabinet meeting produced two notable moments: a detailed fraud task force update from JD Vance with Steven Miller claiming that stopping government fraud entirely could balance the federal budget, and Trump's tribute to outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard, which Jon uses as another reminder to temper expectations about her upcoming reports. On Iran, Trump said the country is negotiating on fumes with 250% inflation and an economy in free fall, and added that he does not care about the midterms, which Jon connects directly to the hibernation theory. Ken Paxton crushed John Cornyn in the Texas senate primary, making Cornyn the first Republican senator from Texas ever to lose his own party's nomination. SpaceX just received a $2.29 billion contract to build a military satellite network and Jon plays a 2022 Kash Patel clip that makes the whole thing feel less surprising. Joe Biden is suing the DOJ to stop the Robert Hur audio recordings from dropping on June 15.

Steve Schmidt joins "The Jim Acosta Show" with a story that has to be heard to be believed: Kash Patel snorkeling at the USS Arizona, a submerged tomb containing the remains of 1,800 American sailors. The pattern of desecration — Arlington, Dover, Normandy, and now this — never stops, and as we head into the Memorial Day long weekend, he connects it to a broader collapse of the institutions and alliances built on American sacrifice. With Trump at 30% approval and the country starting to push back, Steve and Jim both wonder how much more can be tolerated.

Kash Patel continues living like a ten-year-old who found a winning lottery ticket.

Michael Wolff and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty unpack Trump's bruising return from China, where the man who built his political identity around confronting Beijing now finds himself accused of capitulation, spinning shaky victories while China emerges stronger than ever. Wolff gets inside Trump's mindset as mounting crises close in at once: a worsening Iran conflict with no clear exit, rising inflation and gas prices, ICE raids fueling backlash inside and outside MAGA, explosive questions about Trump family business dealings, and a White House culture driven by grift, loyalty tests, and surreal characters like Natalie Harp shadowing the president with a portable printer full of praise. From Trump Mobile phones reportedly made in China to Kash Patel scandals and billion-dollar settlement controversies, the episode maps out an administration trapped between performance and collapse while Trump searches for a way to declare victory in situations even his closest allies can't explain away.

On Wednesday, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the District of Columbia Bar over its efforts to discipline Trump Administration lawyers. Kash Patel was caught falsifying Bureau statistics to boost his record of arrests in the face of congressional criticism for his alleged drinking habit. New York's Attorney Grievance Committee found “sufficient basis for a finding of professional misconduct” against disqualified US Attorney John Sarcone III. A Trump appointed judge has accused the Justice Department of appalling and unsettling behavior in a case over subpoenas for patient information regarding gender affirming care.

Wolff argues that Trump's mental decline is no longer possible to ignore, pointing to his overnight Truth Social rants, escalating paranoia, and what aides privately fear is behavior spinning further out of control, while Dougherty details why even major media outlets are finally starting to acknowledge it. The conversation also turns to the growing instability inside the administration itself, including Kash Patel's mounting controversies at the FBI, RFK Jr.'s increasingly alarming role in public health, and the quiet panic spreading among Trump insiders as scandals, firings, and public humiliations pile up behind the scenes.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the escalating chaos surrounding Trump's handling of the conflict with Iran, as Marco Rubio struggles to explain the administration's goals and new reporting raises alarms about the long-term consequences of Trump's reckless foreign policy. They analyze Trump's rambling comments on inflation and the economy, along with a striking Robert Kagan piece arguing that Iran may have strategically outmaneuvered the United States while Trump projects weakness abroad. Kander and Gupta also dive into the implications of a major Virginia Supreme Court redistricting ruling and what it could mean for Republicans' efforts to cling to power through manipulated maps. Plus, they discuss Trump's unhinged late-night social media spree targeting Obama, Clinton, and other political enemies, growing concerns about his mental fitness, Kash Patel's combative Senate performance, and new polling showing Americans increasingly rejecting Trump and Republicans on immigration.

Ayman Mohyeldin is in for Nicolle Wallace. Ayman covers Donald Trump's state visit to China as the war in Iran continues. New reporting from the Washington Post says that U.S. intelligence has found the Chinese government to be using the war in Iran as an opportunity to undermine the United States. Later, Ayman covers the breaking news from the Associated Press that FBI Director Kash Patel took part in what government officials described as a “VIP snorkel” around a Pearl Harbor memorial. This comes after a string of stories about Patel's frequent drinking and erratic behavior during his time as FBI Director.

- A CIA whistleblower blows open the COVID origin cover-up, with Fauci cast as the central liar who buries the lab story to protect himself and everyone tied to it. - The media is accused of choosing trivia over scandal, obsessing over a White House ballroom while downplaying fraud, FBI wins, and the deeper COVID reckoning. - Kash Patel turns a Senate hearing into a counterattack, brushing off drinking smears and hitting back at Chris Van Hollen with his own taxpayer-funded bar tab and El Salvador stunt. - Los Angeles becomes the live test case for Democratic decay, with Spencer Pratt framed as the outsider exposing Karen Bass as incompetent, rattled, and politically hollow. - The broader thesis is relentless: from judges to late-night hosts to big-city politicians, the left no longer persuades, governs, or even hides its dysfunction — it just keeps performing collapse in public.

Because Donald Trump has so thoroughly hijacked the Department of Justice, the public can no longer be confident that a criminal investigation or indictment is legitimate. The default assumption is that official DOJ actions are about servicing Trump's needs for validation, power, or retribution—like the latest seashell-related charges against Comey. Acting AG Todd Blanche acts like a mobster, wears his partisanship on his sleeve, and appears to be breaking the law himself. And at the FBI, Kash Patel presides over a smaller and demoralized and distracted staff, which leaves Comey worried for the safety of our country. Plus, the prospects for accountability post-Trump and the stepped-up investigations into journalists reporting news the administration does not like.James Comey joins Tim Miller.show notes Comey's new thriller, "Red Verdict" Just announced: San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria and our own MAGA culture expert, Will Sommer, will join the gang on stage at Bulwark Live: San Diego on May 20.

Congressional Republicans plan to spend $1 billion in taxpayer money on Trump's ballroom, claiming the money is necessary for "security" — and creating a huge political problem for themselves. The president and his cabinet make a show of ignoring the pain Americans are feeling at the gas pump, as the US and Iran circle around an underwhelming peace deal. JD Vance's 2028 stock slides as Republican voters turn their attention to Marco Rubio. Dan and Jon discuss the latest, including how Democrats should respond to a new wave of Republican gerrymandering in the South and a new report from The Atlantic that Kash Patel has been handing out personalized bottles of bourbon while on the job. Then, Tom Steyer stops by the studio to talk to Lovett about his race for California governor.

Trump gives us a billion reasons to hate his ballroom, Kash Patel is drowning in leaks, and RFK Jr. will have to pry our pills from our cold, tan hands. Then Beck Bennett and Kyle Mooney tackle life's big questions and predict the next great Saturday Night Live host. And Lovett is on one when we take a look at our Second Thoughts.
