In a jam-packed broadcast, Tara peels back the curtain on a series of explosive developments the media won't touch. First, she reveals how South Carolina is quietly becoming a de facto sanctuary state — a consequence of Governor McMaster and other Republican leaders refusing to act on Trump's call to deputize local law enforcement as immigration agents. As a result, illegal immigrants are fleeing Florida and bringing violent crime with them, as seen in a horrifying double murder in Rock Hill. Next, Tara digs into the unraveling of the electric vehicle narrative. With plummeting EV demand, massive financial losses for automakers like Ford, and companies like Toyota and Nissan shifting to hybrids, the American public is rejecting the Democrats' green agenda. Even Elon Musk is backing away from political spending after years of trying to push innovation through a broken system. Finally, Tara tackles the biggest red flag of the day: Joe Biden's late-stage cancer diagnosis. With a medical history that doesn't add up, suspicious gaps in testing, and stage 4 cancer suddenly revealed, she questions who's really been running the country — and why the public is just now learning the truth. From Biden's border policies to his hidden health crisis, Tara demands accountability for a government that keeps gaslighting the American people. No spin. No filter. Just the truth.
