Friday night the DOJ released 3 million pages included in the Epstein documents dump. This was all part of the Epstein Transparency Act lead by Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. At first glance one might assume that this massive document dump would provide massive answers and a clear line to arrests and prosecutions.

The latest release of more than 3 million Justice Department documents related to Jeffrey Epstein suggests that his sex-trafficking operation may have been broader than previously acknowledged, potentially involving third parties despite earlier official claims that there wasn't enough evidence to investigate others. Among the newly disclosed materials are victim testimonies and FBI memos indicating that Epstein may have directed girls and young women to other powerful men, including allegations linked to figures such as movie producer Harvey Weinstein and financier Leon Black, although neither has been charged in connection with Epstein's crimes. The files also contain internal government materials and references to explicit content, prompting renewed scrutiny of how law enforcement handled information about other individuals' involvement and raising questions about prior assertions that no evidence existed to pursue such inquiries.Attorneys for Epstein's survivors have criticized authorities for failing to fully investigate or disclose the involvement of third parties and for protecting powerful individuals while exposing victim details. The documents reinforce long-standing suspicions that Epstein and his close associate Ghislaine Maxwell used sex trafficking not only to exploit minors but also to foster influence over prominent figures. The release is part of an ongoing disclosure process under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, but it has already reignited debate over accountability, transparency, and whether all relevant records — including potential evidence about other participants — have been adequately disclosed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New Epstein files reveal he may have trafficked girls to others despite official denials | Jeffrey Epstein | The Guardian

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, guest host Ben Whedon sits down with Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson to discuss the current legislative landscape surrounding election integrity and immigration reform. Senator Johnson shares insights on the growing momentum behind the SAFE Act, a comprehensive Election Integrity Bill that has faced challenges in Congress. He emphasizes the overwhelming public support for voter ID laws and critiques the Democratic Party's stance on election security, arguing that their policies create opportunities for fraud.As the conversation unfolds, Johnson proposes a new legislative initiative called the Secure America Act, aimed at securing elections, borders, and taxpayer funds. He discusses the potential need to eliminate the filibuster to pass this crucial legislation, expressing his concerns about the Democrats' willingness to do so when they regain power.We also delve into the contentious issue of immigration enforcement, with Johnson highlighting the implications of the current open border policies and their impact on crime and public safety. He addresses the challenges faced by ICE in Minnesota and the broader consequences of illegal immigration on communities across America.Senator Johnson reflects on the upcoming midterms and the potential for Republicans to gain electoral advantages in the 2030 reapportionment process. He stresses the importance of focusing on popular legislation that resonates with the American public, advocating for a straightforward approach to reform that prioritizes security and accountability.Next, for FBI agent and author Chris Piehota discusses the recent shake-up within the FBI under the leadership of Kash Patel. With a wave of unexpected firings and reassignments, particularly among field directors in key locations like Atlanta and New York, we explore the implications of these changes on the Bureau's operations and culture.Piehota shares insights into Patel's mission to identify and remove agents who may have allowed political biases to influence their investigative work. As the FBI seeks to realign its focus towards operational effectiveness, we delve into the historical context of personnel shifts within the agency and the potential impact on its overall structure.We also examine the controversial departure of former Deputy Director Dan Bongino, assessing the dynamics of his role and the changes in authority under Patel's leadership. With the introduction of co-deputy directors, we discuss how this split might affect decision-making and operational clarity within the FBI.As we navigate through the complexities of the Bureau's internal reforms, Piehota emphasizes the importance of transparency and communication from Director Patel. He argues that the public deserves to understand how these changes will enhance the FBI's capabilities, particularly in addressing national security threats alongside street-level crime.Finally, Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton joins and discusses the ongoing challenges faced in the realm of FOIA litigation against the Department of Justice. Fitton shares insights on the current administration's handling of transparency issues, particularly in light of the recent changes in leadership at the DOJ. He expresses his surprise at the continued lack of responsiveness from the DOJ, regardless of who is in charge, highlighting the persistent barriers that hinder the release of crucial information.We delve into specific cases, such as the prosecution of Peter Navarro and the ongoing investigations into the alleged weaponization of government agencies. Fitton emphasizes the bureaucratic hurdles and the 'deep state of secrecy' that often leads to litigation being the only recourse for obtaining public information. He discusses the implications of the DOJ's reluctance to disclose documents related to high-profile cases, including the infamous Hunter Biden laptop, and the broader ramifications of this lack of transparency for American citizens.The conversation turns to the systemic issues within the FOIA process itself, as Fitton outlines the lengthy and often frustrating journey of obtaining documents through legal channels. He argues for the necessity of reforming the FOIA system to ensure greater accountability and responsiveness from government agencies. Fitton also reflects on the overwhelming scale of fraud within federal programs, suggesting that citizen activists and independent media play a crucial role in uncovering the truth as government agencies struggle to manage their responsibilities.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

SPEAKERS Speaker 2, Speaker 1, Evan Nappen, Teddy Nappen Evan Nappen 00:18 I’m Evan Nappen. Teddy Nappen 00:20 And I’m Teddy Nappen. Evan Nappen 00:21 And welcome to Gun Lawyer. So, we’ve been following the events in Minnesota, and I’m sure you have as well. And, you know, this is troubling. It’s created quite an interesting political situation, and it’s kind of strange to see sides shifting. Yet, it appears that this may, in fact, be a political opportunity to help the Second Amendment get strengthened. Let me tell you where I’m going with this. Take a look here at the Firearm Policy Coalition’s recent statement. (https://www.firearmspolicy.org/fpc-statement-rights-are-not-privileges) I don’t know if you’re familiar with the FPC, but they do a lot of great work in litigating through the court system, Second Amendment challenges. As a national group, they do good work, and they put out a statement that I thought was very interesting. It’ll lay the groundwork as we get a little bit more into depth about where I see some potential here that should be taken, frankly, advantage of in this interesting moment in time. Evan Nappen 01:50 So, what the FPC wrote in their statement is this. “Recent events in Minnesota underscore a recurring and deeply troubling theme: Government officials and commentators treating natural rights as privileges.” Now that’s an important statement right there about treating rights as privileges. As they mentioned in the article, the Second Amendment, like the First and Fourth, is merely codification of pre-existing rights. They don’t create the rights. The Supreme Court has long recognized that the right to keep and bear arms is not a right granted by the Constitution. The Constitution simply is a guarantee of those rights and puts limits on Government, not the people. That’s why, if someone ever asked you, what rights are you given by the Constitution? The answer is none! Because those rights pre-exist the Constitution. The Constitution is there as a guarantor, guaranteeing those rights against the Government. And it puts limits on the Government to ensure that our rights stay respected. It doesn’t grant us rights. Only God granted us our rights, or natural law has granted those rights. Fundamental, fundamental natural laws. That’s what we’re talking about when it comes to actual rights. Page – 2 – of 9 Evan Nappen 03:18 So, this gets distorted politically by politicians who apparently seem to forget that. And here we end up in Minnesota, where this individual, (Alex) Pretti, came to this protest with a gun. The FPC points out that the mere presence of a firearm does not erase a person’s rights. It doesn’t turn lawful conduct into wrongdoing. It does not make someone fair game to be arrested or killed for the Government’s convenience. The Government does not get to flip the legal or moral burden. The fact that one is armed is not a license for the Government to shoot you! Nor is a right to bear arms a license for any person to use unjust force. And that is very strong and very true. This is where this situation now where Pretti ended up getting shot and killed by ICE for essentially bringing his gun to the protest. There’s a lot of dispute now over whether he used it, drew it, or whether he’s being disarmed, whether there was, I mean, there. All that’s out there. Evan Nappen 04:43 But my point isn’t whether Pretti, as a matter of fact, I don’t even support Pretti’s political view here. I’m all for ICE. I’m not. I don’t want to see our country with illegal immigrants but that’s my view. That’s my opinion. Okay, that’s fine. And Pretti had his opinion. He has a First Amendment right, and he has a Second Amendment right. The problem is reaction to the exercise of his Second Amendment right. When you take a look at what happened here, it’s somewhat disturbing that those folks that are supposed to be understanding what the Second Amendment means take an anti-Second Amendment group’s view. So, Politico had an article. It’s “Gun Rights groups blast Trump over Minnesota response”. (https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/27/gun-rights-groups-blast-trump-over-minnesota-response-00748217) And in fact, they did. Evan Nappen 05:47 Let me show you what has happened, where the tables and the issue has turned here. It’s very interesting, because I think it presents an opportunity that we’ll get to in a moment. So, for example, this is right from the Politico article. “FBI Director Kash Patel said Sunday on Fox News. ‘You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple. You don’t have a right to break the law.’ DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said Saturday that she didn’t ‘know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.’ White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday that ‘any gun owner knows’ that carrying a gun raises ‘the assumption of risk and the risk of force being used against you,’ during interactions with law enforcement.” I mean, come on. What the hell is with these people there? They are feeding into the Second Amendment oppressionists with this, with this stuff. Evan Nappen 07:05 So, gun rights groups pushed back, and a number of them were particularly enraged by Bill Essayli. He’s the acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, who posted, “If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you.” What the “f” is he saying? Are you kidding me? If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there’s a high likelihood that they’ll be “legally justified in shooting you”. The NRA, okay? The NRA said that Essayli’s remarks were “dangerous and wrong” and called for a full investigation, instead of “making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens”. That’s the NRA folks saying that now to this Page – 3 – of 9 character. Aidan Johnston, the Director of federal affairs for Gun Owners of America, called Essayli’s remarks, “absolutely unacceptable”. That’s GOA. I mean, listen this quote from Johnston. “Federal prosecutors should know better than to comment on a situation when he didn’t know all the facts, to make a judgment in a case like this, and then also, just to make a blanket statement, threatening gun owners in that way.” And Johnston is absolutely right. It’s outrageous. And yet, yeah, Teddy. Teddy Nappen 08:48 I will say, just taking a step back and looking at what they’ve kind of just put out of their reaction. You brought a gun and all the other and there’s stupid comments. What they could have said, which would have been a very easy play, is the Second Amendment isn’t your right to attack law enforcement officers. All right.? It has nothing to do with the carry. It had to do with the fact that it is agitators obstructing and attacking ICE. That would have been the very easy statement, but no. Evan Nappen 09:21 They focused just on the action and not the carry. But instead they focus on, oh, you come up to a law officer with a gun, they’re legally justified at shooting you. No, they’re not. They’re not. Unless you’re going to use it wrongly. Okay, we can all. And then the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus chair Bryan Strawser, he said, “We can all see what is on the video” what happened, and he’s not on the side of what the Trump administration is putting out. As a matter of fact, it says, an analysis done by the Washington Post that federal agents appear to have secured Pretti’s gun moments before an agent shot him. Teddy Nappen 10:18 So, just to break it down, a little more from that which they’re ignoring. I love the mainstream media loves to ignore. They take away the first 30 seconds where it’s him getting into it with the officers, where they’re blocking traffic, where he’d been doing that all day, and the woman was also blocking traffic. The officer shoves her out of the way because they’re blocking traffic, obstruction, you know, a crime. And then he tries to be the white knight and gets in it with the officer. They’re trying to pin him down to arrest him. He’s still fighting. He’s still fighting. One of the guys sees a gun and yells, gun. He pulls the gun away. And during it’s like, I didn’t know the timing of that. It’s like only a second or so split, and you hear them shout, gun. And the guy draws his pistol and he fires, because it’s a split second. I think there is a Supreme Court case where you have to look at it from the officer’s perspective, from there. Evan Nappen 11:13 And I can understand that. But what is disturbing is the key administration officials focusing on guns and gun owners and carry, instead of on the behavior of this person, which, arguably, is the real issue, and is what is the problem. Not having the gun. And then you combine that with, for example, Gavin Newsom, who, let’s face it, you know, he’s a Second Amendment oppressionist, right? I mean, he is. But what does he say? He says, “The Trump administration does not believe in the 2nd Amendment. Good to know.” So, okay, granted, he’s an opportunist here. But he’s actually seeing, even though we don’t believe he’s sincere, of course, but who knows? He’s seeing what’s wrong with what they’re saying. Even Newsom sees what’s wrong with their saying and then takes advantage of it in that way. Look, Representative Dave Min and Rep. Mary Peltola, one is a Democrat from California and the other Page – 4 – of 9 is a Democrat from Alaska. This is from the Politico article. They also used the moment to highlight the right to carry. Here’s their quote. “Joining the gun lobby to condemn Bill Essayli was not on my bingo card but here we are, Min said on X. “Lawfully carrying a firearm is not grounds for being killed.” So, there, look at that. A Democrat, Democrat, saying that, and Newsome even pointing out the hypocrisy of it. And here we have them really taking a terrible view of gun owners and carry. Evan Nappen 13:27 If you step back from all this, I see political opportunity, and I’ll tell you why. Because what I think would be very, very good would be to propose what we would call Pretti’s law. It’d be Pretti’s law. And what Pretti’s law would do would be to create a federal, pre-emptive right to carry in public. Going directly at the legal issue, by the way, in the Woolford case, the so-called vampire rule and other forms of public carry. We need a federal law that preempts, preempts, any state from putting forward so-called “sensitive place” laws that interfere with the right to carry that the Left has acknowledged, the Left is acknowledging in their defense of Pretti. This presents an opportunity to tie in with that national reciprocity so that you have your right to keep and bear arms respected, and we push this with the Pretti situation. Evan Nappen 14:52 In other words, why is it the Left always gets to take the situation and turn it to their advantage? Well, this is an opportunity for us to use this situation to our advantage, because you can see from what we just discussed that the Left is putting out that message. The Left is putting out the pro-Second Amendment message. The Left is seeing that carry was a right, that carry was fine for this, believe it or not, white male to be carrying. I mean, we should all be in shock that the Left is defending armed white males. Wow. But here they are. So, instead of letting this moment pass, let’s grab onto it. Let’s get a federal law that can go at and preempt, wiping out, sensitive place restrictions and getting through national reciprocity. We can do both of those things in this bill, because that is a solid focus federally on carry. That’s what we’re talking about here, and that’s what this situation highlights. Now is a chance to do federal protection of our carry rights, and it’s also a chance for the Trump administration to make clear their position in support of it as well. Here’s the common ground, folks. Here’s the common ground that this demonstrated, and I hope that someone takes advantage of it. Teddy Nappen 16:40 Also, just taking a step back on the whole situation here. The one good thing about this administration that everyone can agree on is that they listen. The one thing that they, anyone can just stop and say, like you can have disagreements on different things, but they listen. They hear what the issue is. And I get the sense that Kristi Noem and Kash Patel are not 2A. They never had the 2A mindset. They never had that. You know, people always say, oh, I’m for the Second Amendment. What does that mean? What do they actually believe and stand for, for that? And I think this is a moment for them to realize and learn what that actually stands for, for the people, for us, for what that means for us. The ability to carry and defend ourselves. Where we don’t have security teams. We don’t have, you know, the full backing of the U.S. Government to protect us every single day. So, I think this is a chance for the administration to learn, and heck, they should appoint like a gun czar, a 2A Czar. Someone to advise them on these issues. If they don’t know, don’t just go to X or Truth and post it. Ask and learn, and then you can have be more informed on the issue. Page – 5 – of 9 Evan Nappen 17:55 That’s a great idea, Teddy. It would be really good for them to do it, and I’d be happy to have that role. Speaker 1 18:01 Ha, ha, ha. Wow, yeah, man. Evan Nappen 18:07 Yep, that’s good. Well. Teddy Nappen 18:09 Yeah, he’s saying, like, all right. And then also legalize all machine guns. We’re closing down the ATF. Here’s a lot of recommendations. Evan Nappen 18:17 I’ve got them, but here is one where politically, we are seeing the other side, actually seeing it our way. And that’s an opportunity that we shouldn’t lose. That’s the point of this. Well, let me tell you about our friends at WeShoot. WeShoot is a range in Lakewood. An indoor range where both Teddy and I shoot, and we love it there. WeShoot is conveniently located right off the Parkway, and they have some cool specials I want to tell you about. They have a Smith M&P 9 M2.0 Compact ready to roll. They have that. They’re also offering the M&P 9 2.0 in Metal. So, you can have your choice in metal or polymer. They have the Vortex Triumph, which is an all new optic, right? It’s pretty cool. Vortex makes some good stuff. I have some Vortex on my guns. They also have the Rost Martin RM1C, which is a striker-fired compact pistol that is really taking the gun world by storm. You should check out the Rost Martin. It’s a really good gun. Evan Nappen 19:37 And, of course, you want to check out the WeShoot girls there. They’re featuring a number of folks, including Kristina Fernicola. Go to their website. Go to weshootusa.com. You can see all these wonderful guns, and the models posing with wonderful guns. And you will be glad that you went to look at all of that. I’m sure of it. Then make sure you check out the range at WeShoot. Go down to the range there. You can get some fantastic training. They have a great pro shop right there in Lakewood, New Jersey. weshootusa.com Evan Nappen 20:26 Also, I want to mention our friends at the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs. They’ve been quite busy fighting in the courts and in the legislature in Trenton. Murphy’s gone, and we did get some new laws, of course. This is a very tough environment, but they also were able to get some changes that are critical. And I was glad to see modifications, although completely stopping when the folks have all the power, is tough, but they made a big difference. We are thankful. Because without the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs, we would have no unified voice of umbrella organization of our clubs and organizations. You need to be a member of the Association. Go to ANJRPC.org and join today. You’ll get the newsletters that are the best newsletter in the state on guns. Page – 6 – of 9 You’ll see the email alerts. You’ll know everything that’s going on when it comes to our gun rights in New Jersey. anjrpc.org Evan Nappen 21:45 This is also when I shamelessly promote my book, which is New Jersey Gun Law, the Bible of New Jersey gun law. It’s over 500 pages, 120 topics, all question and answer. It’s your guidebook to not becoming a GOFU in New Jersey. And man, let me tell you, so many times people call me and it’s after the fact. I’m like if they had only read my book, oy vey. We’ll still fight and defend you, but it would have been a lot better if you never had the problem to begin with. And most of my clients would agree with that, I’m afraid. So, get your copy of my book today. Go to EvanNappen.com, EvanNappen.com, and get your copy of New Jersey Gun Law. At this moment, we have Teddy who’s going to tell us about Press Checks. What have you got for us Teddy? Teddy Nappen 22:45 Well, as you know, Press Checks are always free. One of the things I always, I am always astounded by on the Left, because they try to act like they have knowledge and understanding of guns. We know, of course, the closeted hoplosexuals like (Josh) Sugarmann, who actually does know guns, but the vast majority of them do not know guns. I always think back, Dad, to your what was the quote, unquote “firearms expert” on fixed ammunition. Evan Nappen 23:23 Oh, gosh, yeah. Experts testifying under oath that are just flat out lying. Flat out lying. Teddy Nappen 23:32 So, yeah. And here is their new term that they’re trying to push. As I always believe in going to the, going to the gun right suppressors and see what’s their latest message? What are they pushing for? The new term that they have invented is “safeguarding”. That’s their new push. This comes out of The Trace, everyone’s favorite gun rights suppressor organization, written by Fairriona Magee. (https://www.thetrace.org/2026/01/safeguard-gun-barber-red-flag-law-suicide/) Safeguarding. “Violence prevention groups and researchers have spent years working on initiatives to get firearms out of the hands of people who may pose a danger to themselves or others.” Hmm, through the risk, through extremist protection laws, known as Red Flag. Oh, yes. So, they’ve been getting so much flack about the legalized swatting that they have created. That they’ve been pushing through these insane Red Flag laws. So, I love this. While these laws have bipartisan support, oh, from a bunch of RINOs that are anti-gun and don’t believe in Second Amendment rights, but now the Second Amendment groups have launched a concerted attack on Red Flag laws in the court system. Gee, I wonder why. Evan Nappen 24:52 No due process. Teddy Nappen 24:53 Yeah, no due process. You get put in, you get locked up, you get labeled and all. Robbed. Firearms stolen and your rights and your life destroyed. Other than that. Page – 7 – of 9 Evan Nappen 25:03 Yeah. Teddy Nappen 25:04 So, in this supercharged political climate, what are the other options? Well, we have it for you. Safeguarding. The process of taking, temporarily taking, control of someone else’s guns, if they have risk of suicide or harming someone else without involving the criminal justice system. So, what does that mean? That means, okay, if you think your friend may want to hurt themselves or hurt others, just simply say, hey, man, why don’t I take your guns? Let me just keep them in my house. I think you’re going through a rough patch. I’m going to take your guns. These ideas are somewhat analogous with laws that allow people to temporarily ban themselves from buying guns. So, Dad, I’m pretty sure they just advocated for someone to commit a crime in New Jersey. Evan Nappen 25:59 In New Jersey that would be absolutely unlawful because of the other anti-gun laws that they helped push, such as Universal Background Check. So, how do you temporarily give guns to somebody when there’s no transfer of guns allowed unless you go through a dealer and go through the permitting system and go through the entire process? You can’t just say to your buddy in New Jersey, hey, let me just take your guns. No, you can’t do it. It’s got to go through a dealer. You’ve got to do all the paperwork, the NICS check, the whole bit. So, good luck with that. Good luck with that. Because if you listen to what they are telling you to do, you will be committing a felony level offense, multiple felony level offenses, in New Jersey. There is no temporary transfer. This is, in fact, officially, this week’s GOFU, Teddy. Evan Nappen 27:03 As far as I’m concerned, that’s the GOFU. Do not ever temporarily give your guns to somebody else in New Jersey, except under two very narrow circumstances. If you’re at the range, there is a law in New Jersey that allows you, only while the person’s in your presence, to let them try your gun at the range. Or if you’re hunting, and everybody’s legal and licensed and they’re there in your presence while hunting. That’s it. But that’s it. That’s the only temporary transfers allowed to adults legally. There is no provision in New Jersey that allows you to temporarily transfer your firearms or to take somebody else’s firearms temporarily because somebody might want to harm themselves, or you perceive that they’re thinking about harming themselves, or they tell you, hey, I’m thinking about harming myself. Or I would just feel better if you had my gun. Again, none of that flies in New Jersey. None of it. It is completely a violation of New Jersey gun laws. A violation of many of the laws that the gun rights oppressors have pushed to put in place in New Jersey. The reason you cannot do what they’re suggesting in New Jersey is because of their anti-Second Amendment gun laws themselves. So they pass and force the passage of these laws through their fellow comrades in the legislature and then give advice on how to violate the very laws, because they’re so clueless as to what they are doing in terms of the actual effect, the actual effect, it has on real people and the real situation. Teddy Nappen 28:59 So, I love how they end this article too. They get this expert, because they always have to. They always lean on the logical fallacy of, oh, I’m an expert, so trust me on this. Catherine Barber out of the Harvard Page – 8 – of 9 Injury Control Research Center, gee, that doesn’t sound biased. She makes this long winded argument, making it so this sounds like if you’re a gun owner, oh, you’re mentally ill, even though gun owners are more than twice at the risk of non gun owners from taking their own lives. And they equated where we should treat Red Flag like suicide prevention. Just this long winded expression, trying to make it seem like, oh, that’s right, if you own a gun, you probably have mental illness. That is the level of disgusting nature that these people are. And they try to argue that. Evan Nappen 29:56 Right. So they, so that. So, this person’s saying, if you own a gun, you’re mentally ill, and we have these administration folks and this U.S. attorney saying, essentially, if you have a gun, you’re a threat immediately to law enforcement. I mean, they’re just making these assumptions on both sides that are just strictly out of bounds when we’re talking about a Constitutional right, a Constitutional right. I mean, just make believe it’s the First Amendment instead of the Second Amendment. Anyone that freely speaks their mind is mentally ill. Anybody who freely talks to police is justified in being shot, and that doesn’t. Neither those statements make any sense, right? Evan Nappen 30:44 Well, we’re talking the Second Amendment. That’s a Constitutional right. It’s not a second class right, either. Just like the First Amendment is a right, and this right is supposed to be guaranteed by the Government. Guaranteed by the Government. Not given by the Government. It needs to get respected and put in the proper perspective of being treated as a right. It’s not a mental illness. It’s not a threat to law enforcement, intrinsically a threat. This all is based on the individual’s behavior. That’s the point, and that’s what the focus has to be on. But yet it’s so easy to just look at it as a symbol, the symbol. Americans always had this thing about going after the symbols. I mean, why were switchblades banned in the ’50s? Well, they were the symbol of juvenile delinquency, right? I mean, what? Why were machine guns banned, oh, the symbol. It was symbolism. It’s just this constant moral crusade by picking an item, an item to go after. We need to look at actions of people. What is not malum prohibitums, where a legislative body just decides this should be banned or that should be banned. But instead, we focus on the malum and say things that are wrong within themselves, and those things are the actions and wrongdoings by people. That’s where laws have to focus. Teddy Nappen 32:41 I think it definitely needs to be a wake up call. Because, look, I understand, and hopefully we do get common ground. And you know what, if Pretti’s law comes into play and we get enough the Democrats to jump on because they want to, you know, look like they’re 2A affiliates or whatever, which, by the way, anytime you hear the news, the CNN, MSNBC, use the words 2A or democracy. You look at the little end, it’ll say, TM, trademark. It’s their version of the Second Amendment, their version of democracy. That is what they always argue. It’s rules for thee, not from rules for thee, not for me. That is how the Left operate. So, just remember that every time they’re trying to coax the Left, the right against the administration. Evan Nappen 33:30 Well, Pretti’s law will have an interesting effect, because it’ll put the Left on the spot, on the vote. Do you support being able to carry a firearm in public the way he did, where you’re claiming to? Well now Page – 9 – of 9 you’re going to have to put your money where your mouth is. So, to speak, you have to vote. You better vote, I think. And within the same question, wait gets made to the other side. Do you support the Second Amendment or not? So, this is why, politically, it’s an opportunity. Teddy Nappen 34:05 I think we joked that Trump should come out against carry, which would force the Left. Like, I think we joked about that exact thing there. You’re right. He should come out against machine guns. Evan Nappen 34:19 Yeah, absolutely. Okay, because actually, the next thing you know, you’ve got Newsom putting out and Democrat Congresspersons putting out, pro-gun statements, pro-Second Amendment statements. I mean, it’s well, that’s why it’s opportunity time, and hopefully someone will take advantage of it. Evan Nappen 34:48 Well, this is Evan Nappen and Teddy Nappen reminding you that gun laws don’t protect honest citizens from criminals. They protect criminals from honest citizens.

Hosted by Tara, this episode covers what may become one of the most consequential political revelations in modern U.S. history. Newly declassified documents—revealed following a bombshell announcement by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard—confirm that the Russia collusion narrative was a complete fabrication, orchestrated by Obama-era intelligence leadership and knowingly pushed despite zero evidence. Tara breaks down reporting from Michael Schellenberger and Matt Taibbi, detailing how the CIA, under John Brennan, targeted 26 Trump associates, funneled staged intelligence through foreign actors, and then used the FBI to legitimize a hoax that consumed nearly two-thirds of legacy media coverage for years

No state better exemplified the suspicious aspects of the 2020 election than Georgia, and no city was more suspicious than Atlanta. Now, the FBI has raided Fulton County to get to the bottom of what really happened five years ago. FBI Director Kash Patel joins to discuss the raid. Then, Sen. Markwayne Mullin talks about Democrat plans to shut down the government to defund ICE, and explains they unlikely way that a shutdown could lead to the passage of the SAVE Act to bring national voter ID to American elections.

The American Radicals Podcast looks at 14 recent social media posts by the FBI to determine if "this" FBI was reformed under Kash Patel's leadership. Spoiler... it hasn't.

Tommy and Ben explain why Trump backed off his threat to take Greenland by force and debate whether European leaders have finally found a playbook for how to push back, the backlash to Trump's disgraceful denigration of NATO troops and their service in Afghanistan, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's bold attempt to break from the United States and forge a new international order. Then they cover the purge of top military leaders in China and widespread rumors of a coup attempt against Chinese President Xi Jinping, Jared Kushner's much-derided PowerPoint presentation on the future of Gaza, new details about how the Iranian regime crushed the recent protests and why there may now be an even greater likelihood that the US bombs Iran (again), a humiliating and terrifying profile of Kash Patel's first year at the FBI, and why a real estate forum in Saudi Arabia made us want to cry. Then Tommy speaks with Kenneth Rosen, author of Polar War: Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in a Melting Arctic, about why the Arctic is becoming a geopolitical flashpoint.

Emily Bazelon, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, co-host of Slate's "Political Gabfest" podcast and Truman Capote fellow for creative writing and law at Yale Law School, and Rachel Poser, features editor at The New York Times Magazine, discuss their reporting on the The Federal Bureau of Investigation under the leadership of Kash Patel, after speaking to forty-five current and former employees on the changes they say are undermining the agency and making America less safe.  

Journalists have spoken to forty-five current and former FBI employees. Many say that leadership is  undermining the agency and making America less safe. On Today's Show:Emily Bazelon, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, co-host of Slate's "Political Gabfest" podcast and Truman Capote fellow for creative writing and law at Yale Law School, and Rachel Poser, features editor at The New York Times Magazine, discuss their reporting on the The Federal Bureau of Investigation under the directorship of Kash Patel.  

THE MONEY TRAIL LEADS TO THE SQUAD. While the streets of Minneapolis burn, the ledgers are finally being opened. Today, we expose the Sanctuary R-I-C-O Gambit—a multi-billion dollar web of corruption, fraud, and coordinated chaos that reaches the highest levels of the Minnesota political establishment. TODAY ON THE SHOW: THE FORTY-FOUR MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION: President Trump and the DOJ have officially launched an investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar. We break down the staggering 3,500% spike in her net worth and the shadowy business firms in her husband's name that skyrocketed in value while her district became the epicenter of a national fraud scandal. THE $9 BILLION HEIST: It's the largest public program fraud in U.S. history. We follow the money from Minnesota's "Feeding Our Future" scandal to the Hawala pipeline wiring taxpayer dollars directly to Al-Shabaab terrorists in East Africa. THE 2A BETRAYAL: We take a blowtorch to the reckless rhetoric of Kristi Noem and Kash Patel. By labeling lawful gun owners as "domestic terrorists," are they gaslighting the base and providing cover for the mob? We distinguish the facts from the administrative spin. GUEST: Camellia Peterson (@CamelliaPeterson) joins us to discuss the fallout of the Alex Pretti shooting and why the Trump administration is effectively sidelining Noem in favor of Border Czar Tom Homan. THE SIGNAL CONSPIRACY: Leaked messages and "Signal mobs." We look at the evidence that the street confrontations aren't organic protests, but a coordinated criminal protection racket designed to shield the fraud rings from federal raids. THE REFUND SURGE: Finally, some mirth! We break down the $1,000 "Trump Check" hitting bank accounts this week. Why the largest refund season in history has the left in a total panic.

Who's behind the Signal chats allegedly targeting ICE in Minneapolis? Kash Patel says the FBI is on it—and won't stop until the truth is exposed. Joe Pags brings an unapologetically America-First breakdown, calling on the good people of Minneapolis to stand up to the radicals, blasting a Washington governor's reckless talk of exposing ICE agents, and unpacking troubling new details in the Alex Pretti case. Then comes the call-out of the year: Pags torches Democrats for lying about ICE, defending the men and women enforcing the law and demanding honesty from the media. A fast, patriotic, must-hear hour.

Stigall once again brings a healthy dose of truth and a reminder of where we were just one year ago on the issue of immigration in this country with the help of CNN. Yes, CNN. President Trump picked up the phone to call Tim Walz yesterday. He's changing leadership on the ground in Minnesota as well. Is that the right call? Plus Pam Bondi continues to look under the hood at the mass voter fraud in Minnesota and the screaming from Democrats in the state tells you all you need to know. This is the REAL game they can't afford to lose. Taxpayer theft and voter fraud. Kash Patel also says he's committed to continue cracking down on the domestic extremism targeting law enforcement and media through the Sygnal app. Karoline Levitt reminds the press of an uncomfortable fact during the Obama era as it relates to immigration enforcement. Street theater and play acting is the left's currency. Is it working in Minnesota like it did during George Floyd and COVID?

Aaron breaks down the whirlwind of White House moves on Minnesota's immigration enforcement flashpoint, including President Trump's dispatch of Tom Homan, communications with Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, and the sudden withdrawal of Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and agents. Is this strategic pressure yielding results or an unexpected retreat? Also covered: an exposed Signal chat network coordinating anti-ICE actions (now under FBI scrutiny), Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's inflammatory rhetoric, Canada's abrupt pivot away from deeper China ties after tariff threats, UK pushes for widespread live facial recognition, NATO's nod to U.S. indispensability, a jihadist stabbing in Washington State, and a retired Green Beret's chilling comparison of Minneapolis unrest to low-level insurgency tactics.

Patriots, the tide is turning—Season 8 Episode 018: "MN Shut Down Order Revoked; Homan Eviscerates Mika on MSNBC; Dean Cain Exposes Fraud Distraction & 470 Criminal Releases" roars onto the scene as @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove deliver fresh, unfiltered victories straight from the front lines of law and order. Jeff and Shannon connect the latest breakthroughs: the Minnesota shut-down order revoked, clearing the path for ICE to resume targeting dangerous criminals; Tom Homan's devastating MSNBC takedown of Mika Brzezinski, exposing how politicians are desperately distracting from massive fraud schemes; Dean Cain's clear-eyed explanation of real ICE operations and the deliberate release of 470 violent offenders to muddy the waters. They also cover Jesse Watters' hard-hitting Minnesota report, “protesters” finally removed from the hotel, President Trump taking direct press questions, the fully exposed anti-ICE activist training manual, and why the FBI's historic 2025 successes under Kash Patel—record-low murder rates, gang takedowns, fentanyl seizures, and child rescues—are an absolute game-changer the establishment can't spin away.

As the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis roils the country, Harry breaks down the fallout with Susan Glasser. Then, turning to the week's main discussion, three stellar journalists—Susan, Emily Bazelon, and Ruth Marcus—join Harry to break down Trump's assaults on the rule of law that made Pretti's death possible. From the corruption of the FBI and the carnage in Minnesota to Trump's escape from the prosecutions brought by Jack Smith, the trio engage in a wide-ranging discussion anchored in their in-depth reporting. Can the FBI withstand another year of Kash Patel's leadership? Is Jack Smith next on Trump's list of targets for reprisal? Finally, are the tragic events in Minnesota, as Susan says, Trump's most Trumpian accomplishment?

It's been nearly a year since Kash Patel took the helm of the FBI, a period New York Times reporter Emily Bazelon says has been “marred by vendettas, mismanagement and meltdowns.” The New York Times spoke to 45 current and former FBI officials, who describe a traditionally independent agency now captured and weaponized by the White House. The officials say the FBI's new emphasis on immigration, over counterterrorism and cybersecurity, is making America less safe. We'll talk to a former Los Angeles field officer and to Bazelon, whose new piece is “A Year Inside Kash Patel's F.B.I.” Guests: Emily Bazelon, staff writer, The New York Times Magazine; Truman Capote Fellow for Creative Writing and Law, Yale Law School; co-host, Slate's “Political Gabfest” Jill Fields, former supervisory intelligence analyst for violent crime in the Los Angeles field office, FBI Learn more about your ad choices.

Trump is taking billion dollar bribes for his ‘Board of Peace,' where he can pretend he'll be the head of a new world order in partnership with Putin. He's also looking for his next foreign policy adventure since he didn't get any mileage with Greenland or Iran. And he's acting like socialist-fascist Juan Perón—taking stakes in U.S. companies while continuing to sic the American gestapo on the twin cities. Meanwhile, a handful of House Dems took a bad vote to fund DHS.
