Democrat lawmakers — including Sen. Mark Kelly and Rep. Elissa Slotkin — have now released a shocking video urging members of the U.S. military to defy orders from President Donald J. Trump. Yes.

Indirect talks between Hamas and Israel aimed at ending the war in Gaza resumed today in Egypt. They also discuss whether Jay Jones, Democratic candidate for attorney general in Virginia, can survive criticism of his text messages and phone conversations from 2022 where he said the Republican Speaker of the House of Delegates deserved “two bullets to the head” and wished death upon the Speaker's children. Virginia Democrats, including both U.S. Senators and gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger, are standing by Jones and have not asked him to withdraw from the race.

Chuck Todd unpacks the fallout from Charlie Kirk's assassination and what it means for public displays of democracy, as lawmakers debate whether fear should keep them from showing up for their constituents. He also dives into explosive Senate testimony from former CDC director Dr. Monarez, who detailed political interference in vaccine policy under the Trump administration. The conversation shifts to the economic strain of tariffs and subsidy cuts—driving up everything from prescription drugs to coffee prices—alongside predictions of mass white-collar job losses fueled by AI. From Trump's push to end quarterly earnings reports to the unresolved fight over TikTok, he highlights how politics, economics, and technology are colliding in ways that test both government accountability and public trust.Then, he's joined by former director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Rohit Chopra for a deep dive into the role of the agency and the broader fight to regulate powerful financial institutions. Chopra explains why the agency has struggled to gain footing in Washington, the skepticism the public feels toward banks, and how past regulatory failures contributed to the 2008 financial crisis. They discuss how the CFPB uncovered systemic abuses, the resistance it faces from well-funded interests, and the ongoing debate over who should regulate emerging sectors like cryptocurrency and consumer data.The conversation also tackles the independence of the Federal Reserve, the risks of politicizing monetary policy, and how unchecked corporate power—from Wall Street to Silicon Valley—continues to shape the economy. Chopra pulls back the curtain on algorithmic lending practices, the dangers of personalized pricing, and why fines alone aren't enough to hold companies accountable. From junk fees to crypto, from AI abuse to executive impunity, this episode explores why Americans are increasingly demanding regulators who stand up to entrenched financial interests—and why another populist economic revolt may be closer than we think.Finally, he answers listeners' questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and previews the upcoming weekend in college football.Got injured in an accident?

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and former Sec. Pete Buttigieg react to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Kimberly Atkins Stohr, Peter Baker, Sara Fagen and Jeffrey Goldberg join the roundtable. 

Arizona Senator Mark Kelly joins us to share his reaction to the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk yesterday. He offers his thoughts on how we solve the emergence of political violence in America, shares his own experience with gun violence after his wife Gabby Giffords was shot, and tells us why finger pointing does nobody any good. Before leaving, Dan transitions in a way only he can and manages to get Senator Kelly's opinion on Kyler Murray. After that, Tony shares his Top 5 and we play win/loss with some teams around the NFL.

Yesterday, in broad daylight, in front of a crowd of 3,000 people at Utah Valley University, Charlie Kirk was shot dead. Kirk was not just a husband, not just a father, and not just one of the most prominent young conservative voices in the country. He made his name doing something fundamental to the American project: disagreeing out loud.  He famously said, “When people stop talking, bad stuff happens.” And so his thing was going to campuses, setting up a tent, and asking people to change his mind. People on campuses lined up to challenge him, often fiercely debating—and that was the point. He was a living embodiment of our First Amendment. As Matthew Continetti wrote in our pages: “The attack didn't just deprive a family of its center. It struck at the ties that hold a free society together: open assembly, civil debate, viewpoint diversity. Like every terrorist act, the shooting was meant to instill fear—in this case, fear of speaking out, of exposure, of making a difference.” And as shocking and tragic as his murder is the response to it: the people online celebrating—yes, celebrating—his death simply because they disagreed with his politics. Today Bari sits down with Ben Shapiro, Senator Mark Kelly, Matt Continetti, Katherine Boyle, Konstantin Kisin, and The Free Press's own Eli Lake and Maya Sulkin to reflect on Kirk's life and this awful moment in American history—and to consider how we can begin to look forward.

This week on Face the Nation, President Trump invites Russia's Vladimir Putin to America, his first visit to U.S. soil in a decade. After months of Russia skirting cease-fire offers while continuing their brutal onslaught in Ukraine, President Trump skipped past his own sanctions deadline and instead invited Putin to Alaska. We hear from Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova about what her country needs to agree to a cease-fire. Plus, we ask NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte what a potential deal might mean for European security. Then, Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly and Texas Republican Congressman Tony Gonzales, two lawmakers from border states, tell us how the fresh infusion of cash from Trump's massive domestic policy bill is affecting mass deportation efforts in their states. Finally, the Trump administration says it will slash funding for mRNA vaccine research, an emerging field used in COVID vaccines that also showed promise in treating cancer and HIV. We'll get analysis from Doctor Jerome Adams, who was Surgeon General in Trump's first term.

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 today's episode, we cover Democrats Admit Trump's Tariffs Worked Even liberal voices like Bill Maher now acknowledge that Trump's tariffs didn't tank the economy, despite widespread predictions of disaster. Meanwhile, Europe is reeling from the new U.S.-EU trade deal, calling it a humiliation and bracing for economic pain. Democrats Hit Lowest Approval in 35 Years A new Wall Street Journal poll shows the Democratic Party at its lowest favorability since 1990. Senator Mark Kelly blames messaging, but Bryan highlights six stunning stories, from migrant crime to teacher union extremism, that point to deeply unpopular policies. Nuclear Warning to Putin President Trump authorizes the transfer of U.S. nuclear weapons to a base in the UK and gives Vladimir Putin a 10–12 day deadline to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine. New tariffs, and possibly more, are on the table if Moscow fails to comply. Russia Restarts Flights to North Korea A direct air route opens between Moscow and Pyongyang for the first time in 30 years. While publicized as tourism, analysts warn it may serve as a covert weapons pipeline, just as Trump escalates nuclear posturing in Europe. Zelensky Retreats on Anti-Corruption Rollback After global backlash and pressure from the White House, Ukraine's president backpedals on a controversial move to weaken anti-corruption agencies. Still, the episode deepens Western mistrust of Kyiv's leadership. China Bans Gender Humor in Stand-Up Chinese officials warn comedians not to joke about men and women, citing concerns over “gender antagonism.” Bryan unpacks why this crackdown is part of a broader pattern of civil rights suppression that the world needs to confront.
