Podcast appearances and mentions of Pete Hegseth

So-called "peace president" Donald Trump has bombed 10 countries, more than any other US leader. He attacked 7 countries in 2025 alone. Now he wants to raise the USA's military budget to $1.5 trillion. Ben Norton explains how the self-declared "peacemaker" is waging war around the world.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth says he is taking a “sledgehammer” to a federal program that many tribes and tribal businesses rely on. He is referring to the Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program that extends contract priorities to disadvantaged business owners. Hegseth uses words like “fraud” and “scheme” to describe what he says is an outdated diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiative. His is part of an overall scrutiny of the program by the federal government. Hundreds of Native small businesses have accessed the program over the past 60 years, and some Alaska Native corporations have multi-million dollar contracts.

January, 25 2026, 7AM; The shooting came three weeks after Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent while in her SUV. In both cases, the Trump administration wasted no time in asserting what they claimed were the facts in the case, just hours after the incidents, before any investigation could be conducted, labeling Good and Pretti not as victims, but as assailants. David Noriega, Michele Norris, Tom Manger, join The Weekend to discuss the latest on the shooting and the victim.For more, follow us on social media:Bluesky: @theweekendmsnow.bsky.socialInstagram: @theweekendmsnowTikTok: @theweekendmsnow To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

A bipartisan bill signed into law last year is now giving Native Americans residing in Arizona the option to update their state-issued identification to show their tribal affiliation. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, it comes at a time when Indigenous peoples are being swept up in immigration raids – including Peter Yazzie (Navajo), who was recently detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the Phoenix metro area. This new marker is akin to getting an organ donor or veteran insignia on any form of ID, including a driver license. To do so, applicants need to prove that they're enrolled in a tribe by submitting a Certificate of Indian Blood (CIB), and so far, the Arizona Department of Transportation has gotten more than 1,600 requests for the designation. That idea of streamlining legal documents came from State Rep. Myron Tsosie (Navajo/D-AZ). “Instead of having to dig out all your cards to show that you are Native American.” And had nothing to do with ICE. “That wasn't the purpose, but I'm hearing from constituents saying that I feel safer now.” And it's something Thomas Cody, executive director of the Navajo Nation's Division for Child and Family Services, is encouraging his Diné urban relatives to seek out. “It's unfortunate that we have to have an ID that we're Native Americans. We shouldn't but I'm glad the state of Arizona, Gov. [Katie] Hobbs is taking an extra step.” His deputy director Sonlatsa Jim thinks this service is much-needed – not just for Navajos living in the Grand Canyon State. “Because we are the largest Native American tribe, you'll find a Navajo tribal member anywhere in the United States.” That's why Tsosie is working with neighboring Utah and New Mexico state lawmakers to adopt his legislation aiming to help cover more of Indian Country, including the rest of his sprawling 27,000-square-mile reservation. The federal government is reviewing the business program that benefits Alaska Native corporations and tribes. The Alaska Desk’s Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports. In a video posted on X January 16, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said his department will review the 8(a) Business Development Program. That program falls under the federal Small Business Administration (SBA) and supports businesses owned by socially disadvantaged individuals or tribes including Alaska Native Corporations. We are taking a sledgehammer to the oldest DEI program in the federal government—the 8(a) program. pic.twitter.com/c9iH8gcqG7 — Secretary of War Pete Hegseth (@SecWar) January 16, 2026 Sec. Hegseth said in the video that the 8(a) program promotes the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) framework and race-based contracting. In the 8(a) program, the federal government sets aside contracting opportunities for disadvantaged small businesses. Tribal entities can have multiple companies in the program, while individuals can only have one. Alaska Native Corporations rely heavily on federal contracts often received through the 8(a) program. Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis shows that it is their primary source of revenue. And most of those contracts come from the U.S. Department of Defense. Quinton Carroll is the executive director of the Native American Contractors Association, and originally from Utqiagvik. “Native participation in the 8(a) program is not a DEI initiative.” Carroll says the program “fulfills longstanding federal trust and treaty obligations to tribes, Alaska Native Corporations, and Native Hawaiian Organizations.” Hegseth ordered a line-by-line review of sole-source 8(a) contracts that are over $20 million. He said in the social media video that the department will get rid of contracts that do not make the country's military more lethal. Hegseth also said the department will make sure that the businesses getting a contract are the ones actually doing the work. He claimed that often small businesses receive the contract, take a fee, and pass it to a giant consulting firm. However, Carroll says Native federal contractors have been partners of the Department of Defense. He added that Native contractors also support the elimination of fraud and waste within the program. The 8(a) program has faced scrutiny from other directions as well. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in April, directing rewriting of federal contracting regulations. The SBA and Treasury department have been both investigating the program as well. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.

Trump: These are professional agitators and professional people that want to see our country do badly. But that's not happening because we have the hottest country. Trump: I'm glad my finger wasn't in that sucker. That could have done some damage. But you know what? I wouldn't have shown the pain.

On this, our 310th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss Trump, his presidency, and the state of the country. Disappointments include military interventions and renamings, a failed and politicized DOGE, and the embrace of tech-utopianism and associated heuristics and algorithms. Positive moves have been made in MAHA (e.g. revision of the childhood vaccine schedule, food additives and food pyramid), sex and gender (sex is real, men can't become women); and, to some degree, constitutional and border protections. We don't yet know what might be gained by interventions in Iran, and in Venezuela. Two years ago, The Atlantic published an issue predicting what would happen if Trump won a second term; they get a few things right, a lot wrong, and blame Trump for their own personal neuroses. Finally, a review of why we voted for Trump in the last election, where we were right, and where we were wrong.*****Our sponsors:Xlear: Xylitol nasal spray that acts as prophylaxis against respiratory illnesses by reducing the stickiness of bacteria and viruses.

Pete Hegseth is one of the most powerful people in Trump's orbit as the self-proclaimed secretary of ‘war'.  He has a huge budget and the weight of the entire American military at his disposal.

Retired DEVGRU operator Eric Frohardt wraps up his remarkable journey. From reflecting on life after the Teams—navigating multiple career pivots across beverages, supplements, energy, real estate, and now a C-suite leadership role in investment/development—to candidly discussing the challenges of civilian leadership versus special operations, the importance of unbreakable standards, current events (Pete Hegseth, potential military action against cartels), and the fentanyl crisis, Eric shares deep insights on humility, business, and faith.

Powell said bluntly that the investigation is an effort to use the DOJ to assert control over the Fed and its interest-rate setting apparatus. Did this make Ken scream "shut up!!!!" at Powell's video? Meanwhile, Minnesota and some of its municipalities have sued the federal government, arguing that the ICE surge in the state is illegal and unconstitutional. Those discussions are for all listeners.

On our radar this week… Donald Trump's reaction to a heckler at his Detroit Economic Club speech was symbolic of his administration: flipping the bird to all of us as he simultaneously destroys the economy, government services and NATO. The irony: his target, who was suspended by Ford, has received more than 800-thousand dollars through two Go Fund Me appeals launched by friends. Listing Trump's weekly rundown of outrages could easily fill out the podcast, so we'll go with the most outrageous. His week of destruction and dementia include: Openly threatening to use the U.S. military to steal Greenland over the objections of Greenlanders, Denmark and our angry allies in NATO.  Taking on another political critic with former Fox News screamer Jeanine Piro, now U.S. Attorney for D.C., investigating Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin for the crime of quoting federal law, a followup to the Pete Hegseth assault on Senator Mark Kelly.  Also under investigation by Trump's retribution machine: Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, who made it clear it's nothing more than another Trump retribution charade. Trump gave a 60-minute speech to Detroit area business leaders, a speech long on fantasy and lies. We learned that those increases in grocery and housing prices are apparently going down, much to the surprise of anyone buying groceries or trying to find a home. The fact checkers may be facing PTSD. And his administration is using a right-wing video as the excuse to cut off food benefits to millions … but only in blue states. In Michigan: New polling shows the races for Governor and U.S. Senator are both statistically tied. State Democrats are working to make sure voters know it's Michigan Republicans who are responsible for skyrocketing health insurance premiums. The new state legislative session faces multiple challenges: housing shortages, never-ending potholes, continuing calls for more openness … and an ongoing battle between Republican House Speaker Matt Hall and a state Senate controlled, at least for now, by Democrats…pending the outcome of an upcoming special election. Caught in the middle of all of this is Senate Majority Floor Leader Sam Singh. Singh is the son of Indian immigrants. His political career dates back 30 years when, at age 24, he was elected to East Lansing City Council and later served as the city's mayor. He is a past president of the Michigan Nonprofit Association and Public Policy Associates. In 2012 he was elected to the first of 3 terms in the state, serving as Democratic floor leader in his final term. Singh moved to the state Senate two years ago and was elected to the #2 leadership slot as Majority Floor Leader. He’s a graduate of Michigan State University. We’re now on YouTube every week!

On this episode of The Siren Podcast, hosted on The Siren Network, I had the honor of being joined by Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy and Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley to discuss the murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis by ICE, why the Trump regime is really starting a conflict with Venezuela, and how Americans should be demanding more of their elected officials during this moment. Trump and his minions in the White House have made it their mission to place violence at the center of everything they do. Their goal is to normalize it. We see this play out in many forms, but especially in the regime's response to the tragic shooting of Renee Good. When ICE shoots an American citizen three times in the face, Kristi Noem's very first instinct was to demonize her and call her a domestic terrorist. JD Vance's initial response branded Good as a “deranged leftist.” The official federal response from the White House did not include calls for investigations, or pledges to ensure this never happens again- but support for the actions of the ICE agent who pulled the trigger. Hours after the shooting, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted an image reading “I STAND WITH ICE.” She then pinned that message to the top of her Twitter profile, seemingly supporting the murder that the entire country saw happen on video. When the U.S. military captured Nicolas Maduro, Pete Hegseth said Maduro had “F'd around and found out.” Donald Trump routinely threatens our allies with violence, and pledges to take control of Greenland. The official Twitter accounts of the U.S. Government publish daily propaganda videos of supposed migrants in chains and handcuffs and call for “remigration”- the once fringe, far-right term for the mass deportation of non-whites (a.k.a., ethnic cleansing). All of this has a purpose. It's meant to make you feel overwhelmed and hopeless. And honestly? It's perfectly natural to feel that way. But it's also important to shine a light on our wins- Simply put, Trump is losing the support of Congressional Republicans. As Senator Murphy says during today's episode, “The Senate just passed a resolution saying that the president does not have the power to take this action in Venezuela. I think four or five Republicans actually crossed over, voted with Democrats. A war powers resolution that is now passed the United States Senate that is heading to the House of Representatives that says the president cannot use any funds in order to carry out operations in Venezuela without the consent of Congress.” Make sure to watch this information-packed double feature of The Siren Podcast, and stay tuned for some light-hearted sports talk!

The formal indictment states that Lin and his accomplices allegedly facilitated the transfer of tens of millions of dollars obtained from the sale of fentanyl, cocaine, and methamphetamine in the United States back to Mexico, through an opaque financial chain involving cash purchases of electronic goods and shipments to Asian countries. According to the case filed in federal court in Cincinnati, between 2022 and 2024, Mexican drug-trafficking groups hired this organization to handle the cash generated from drug sales within U.S. territory. The procedure described includes handing over large amounts of physical cash to third parties, who used the funds to buy electronic products. Once the receipt of these goods was confirmed, payment was sent to Mexico through mirror transactions, after deducting a commission. Partial records indicate that at least $27.4 million in cash was moved through this network. The indictment, which includes charges of conspiracy to launder money and concealment of funds, indicates that the alleged operator could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted by a federal court.

The whole starter kit. The guy, Marton Benedek, was sitting inside EU institutions while sketching out a roadmap for protests, messaging, fundraising, even something that reads a lot like a shadow government. He talks openly about building a permanent coordination hub to challenge Orban's rule. This was an EU migration and security official, with deep access and zero plausible deniability, not just some street activist. The early effort flopped. The party he helped build face-planted electorally. But the playbook didn't disappear. It just waited. Fast forward and suddenly a brand-new figure, Peter Magyar, drops out of nowhere, gets wall-to-wall Western media love, runs a campaign with serious money and polish, keeps his ideology vague, stays aggressively pro-EU, and rockets to the top of the polls. No clear funding trail. No real policy spine. But momentum. The uncomfortable part for Brussels isn't whether Orban is good or bad. It's that this confirms what his supporters have said for years: The EU doesn't just pressure governments. It actively works around them when they won't comply. Rule of law language on the surface. Regime-management instincts underneath. If this were Russia doing it, headlines would be screaming “foreign interference.” When it's Brussels, it's called cooperation. https://twitter.com/nypost/status/2011184281989595612?s=20 ‘Going to Be a Big Problem for Him’: Trump Smacks Down Greenland PM After He Says He ‘Chooses Denmark' President Trump isn’t playing around when it comes to the United States taking control of Greenland, and he just sent a warning shot to the island’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, that Nielsen’s continued resistance is “going to be a big problem for him.” Greenland’s PM and other regional authorities downplay the possibility of a hostile takeover of the island by Russia or China, Denmark’s Danish Defense Intelligence Service (DDIS) recently released a pointed assessment of Russian and Chinese military ambitions for Greenland and the Arctic. But the “Intelligence Outlook 2025” report on the security of the Kingdom of Denmark, released just last month, had warned at great length that “China is preparing for a military presence in the Arctic” and that “China's long-term Arctic interests include Greenland.” The report highlighted Chinese air-based, seaborne, and submersible activities in the Arctic. The Danish intelligence report had further assessed that the militaries of China and Russia were collaborating more closely in the Arctic, displaying the growing “DragonBear” alliance between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Musk Stands Up Against the Ayatollahs, as Iranian Regime Cracks Down on Starlink Terminals, Deploys Military-Grade Jammers Against Sole Internet Option for Protesters   At the beginning of the massive popular demonstrations in Iran, Elon Musk took the bold initiative of providing free Starlink services for the protestors. A few days in, Iran shut down the Internet in the entire country. For the first time since 2019, a nationwide blackout was imposed, disrupting phone networks and landline telephones. Starlink became the sole web outlet for protesters to get informed, communicate, and share the images of the momentous developments with the world. It didn't take long for the brutal Iranian regime to crack down on Starlink terminals, arrest ‘terrorist' users, and deploy military-grade jammers to impede the functioning of the service. Now, reports say SpaceX engineers are hard at work to bypass the jamming and give protesters a voice, again.

CBS News reported:   Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/travelingflying/status/2011233048193613927?s=20 https://twitter.com/AlBuffalo2nite/status/2011094391075602444?s=20   accuracy. That is demographic manipulation. When law enforcement records misclassify race and suppress immigration status, the downstream effect is predictable. Crime statistics are distorted. Public understanding is corrupted. Accountability disappears. Police departments know exactly why this is done. Federal crime data is aggregated by race. When offenders who are foreign nationals are reclassified into domestic racial categories, the real source patterns are buried. The public is then fed a sanitized dataset that supports preselected talking points. This is not about one case. It is about how the books are cooked so trends can never be honestly discussed. News outlets compound the deception. They repeat the arrest sheet verbatim, never asking why immigration status is missing, never questioning implausible physical descriptors, never pressing the department for clarification. The omission is the story, and they deliberately ignore it. That is not journalism. That is information control. If the individual were a citizen, the records would say so. If the individual were legally present, that status would be highlighted immediately. Silence only appears when the truth is politically inconvenient. That silence protects institutions, not victims. Two teenagers are dead, and the system's first instinct was not transparency, but insulation. This is exactly why public trust is collapsing. People are not stupid. They can see when reality does not match the paperwork. When law enforcement manipulates categories and media outlets run interference, the public correctly concludes that the truth is being managed rather than reported. The question is simple. If the data were honest, why hide it. If the classification were accurate, why does it defy common sense. If transparency mattered, why was immigration status erased. This is not incompetence. It is intent. https://twitter.com/TheStormRedux/status/2011214982881386564?s=20  Solomon & Emmer on his podcast today.

In November, without offering any specifics, Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), along with Democrat Reps. Maggie Goodlander (NH), Jason Crow (CO), Chris Deluzio (PA), and Chrissy Houlahan (PA) repeatedly stated, “You can refuse illegal orders,” or “You must refuse illegal orders,” in a viral video. Slotkin, a former CIA analyst, was the organizer of the video. She was the ringleader and proudly urged US service members to defy orders from President Trump and Pete Hegseth.

The President took selfies with some of the workers as he made his way through the plant. However, at one point, a disgruntled worker screamed obscenities at the President as he walked with Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford, Jr. The heckler appeared to shout, “pedophile protector!” as Trump toured the plant. President Trump shot back with a middle finger and appeared to say or mouth, ‘f*ck you.'

Here is what Tom said, “Hey, everyone. Huge news. Judicial Watch lawsuits led to the cleanup of 4 million dirty names from the voting rolls in just the last two years or so. But there's more heavy lifting to be done for cleaner elections. That's why Judicial Watch just sued the state of Oregon to force it to finally clean up its voting rolls, which are a mess. Federal law requires states to take reasonable steps to clean up their voting rolls, and Oregon hasn't been doing that. In fact, our new lawsuit, Just Filed For and With the Constitution Party of Oregon and Oregon Voters, details how 29 of Oregon's 36 counties removed few or no registrations as required by federal election law. Oregon and 35 of its counties had overall registration rates exceeding 100%. Frankly, Oregon has the highest known inactive registration rate of any state in the nation. Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections.   Tom Fitton announced that the Oregon Secretary of State announced removal of 800,000 dirty names from the state's voter rolls. https://twitter.com/TomFitton/status/2010748003834016216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2010748003834016216%7Ctwgr%5Ed441c69e8d73f0694063c2d5ef9f04f6759470f5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fanother-victory-tom-fitton-judicial-watch-oregon-agrees%2F   Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2011464963257196757?s=20 to 2 weeks SCOTUS has upheld Rep.

The Dems' entire platform revolves around election fraud and retaining/expanding their power. Hence why they don't want ICE/US MIL deporting illegals in their sanctuary cities, why they don't want voter ID, and why they want the border open. That's what all the fuss is about. It's because Trump is getting close to ending the Democrat Party as we know it. Without illegals voting in their districts, they face extinction. Not only will they no longer be able to win elections, but this election fraud scheme was nothing short of treasonous. They sold us out to foreigners while pocketing our money. They covertly enslaved us and enriched themselves off our labor, while we struggle to stay afloat. This is a serious situation.

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 Wednesday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan exposes a stunning Secret Service breach that put Vice President JD Vance and President Trump at risk, explains why emerging weapons like bioweapons and directed energy systems are reshaping warfare, and tracks escalating political and legal clashes tied to immigration enforcement, Venezuela, Greenland, China, and Iran. Secret Service Scandal Puts Leaders at Risk: An undercover sting revealed that Secret Service agent Tomas Escotto shared highly sensitive security details about Vice President JD Vance and President Trump, including movement patterns and advance travel plans. Bryan explains how such pattern of life leaks are exactly how foreign intelligence services plan assassinations and warns that internal ideological bias inside protective services now poses a grave national security threat. New Weapons That Change Everything: Secretary of War Pete Hegseth publicly warned that future military dominance will hinge on hypersonic missiles, long-range drones, space systems, biotechnologies, and directed energy weapons. Bryan breaks down why targeted bioweapons and portable energy weapons are no longer science fiction, how they may already have been used in Venezuela, and why cartels or hostile states gaining access would be catastrophic. SPR and Venezuelan Oil Strategy: Congress and the White House are considering how to use Venezuelan oil now under U.S. control to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Because the oil is heavy and high in sulfur, officials may sell it on the open market and purchase more suitable crude instead, turning Venezuela's resources into strategic leverage. Minnesota Protests Turn Organized and Political: Far left activists continue coordinated attacks on ICE officers in Minneapolis, with media outlets downplaying the political funding and organization behind the protests. Bryan explains why lawsuits by Minnesota officials to block federal immigration enforcement are political theater designed to energize the Abolish ICE movement, not serious legal efforts. Trump Moves Against Sanctuary Policies and Fraud: President Trump warned that federal funding will be cut off to sanctuary jurisdictions within ninety days unless they comply with immigration law. He also announced plans to revoke citizenship obtained through fraud nationwide, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirming investigations are underway in all fifty states. Greenland Becomes a Spy Battlefield: As U.S., Danish, Chinese, and Russian interests collide over Greenland, Bryan answers a listener question on CIA operations there. He explains how U.S. intelligence identifies motivations, recruits sources, and counters Russian and Chinese influence as all sides quietly prepare for long term control of the Arctic. Global Power Plays Intensify: The Pentagon is repositioning naval assets near Venezuela while courts battle over deportations. Trump is quietly seeking seizure warrants for Russian-flagged ghost fleet tankers to squeeze Moscow and Tehran. Meanwhile, new assessments warn China could neutralize the U.S. Navy around Taiwan by mass-producing hypersonic missiles faster than America can replace them. Iran and Argentina Close the Episode: Iran's protest death toll may exceed twenty thousand as Trump weighs military action despite regional warnings. Bryan closes with rare good news as Argentina repaid a $2.5 billion U.S. loan with interest, bolstering President Javier Milei's reforms and delivering a win for American taxpayers.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: January 14 2026 Wright Report, Secret Service breach JD Vance, Tomas Escotto sting operation, Pete Hegseth new weapons warning, bioweapons directed energy systems, Strategic Petroleum Reserve Venezuelan oil, Minneapolis ICE protests Abolish ICE, sanctuary city funding cutoff, citizenship revocation fraud, CIA operations Greenland Arctic, China hypersonic missile threat Taiwan, Iran protest death toll Trump decision, Argentina Milei loan repayment

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell struck back on Sunday night after the Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation into his handling of renovations to the Fed's DC headquarters. Whether or not he lied to Congress about them, this is all happening as the Supreme Court is set to debate another one of Trump's efforts to take control of the Fed – by getting rid of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. So to talk more about Jerome Powell, the Supreme Court, and Donald Trump's various attempts to prosecute people he does not like, we spoke with Leah Litman. She's cohost of Crooked Media's legal podcast, Strict Scrutiny.And in headlines, Arizona Democratic Senator Mark Kelly sues the Department of Defense over Pete Hegseth's attempts to punish him for criticizing the Trump administration, The New York Times reports the E.P.A. plans to stop monitoring the health benefits of limiting pollution, and a new Gallup poll shows young people are abandoning both the Democratic and Republican parties in droves.Show Notes:Check out Strict Scrutiny – crooked.com/podcast-series/strict-scrutiny/Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's Headlines: After a year of publicly badgering Fed Chair Jerome Powell for not bending interest rates to his personal preferences, the Trump administration is now having the DOJ investigate Powell over his testimony about renovations to the Fed's DC headquarters. Powell responded with a rare straight-to-camera video accusing Trump of using the probe as retaliation for not manipulating rates. Meanwhile, the Defense Department announced it's taking a $150 million preferred equity stake in ATALCO, the only major U.S. producer of gallium — a critical mineral used in military radar and satellites — in a move that looks a lot like soft nationalization but for national security. Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly is suing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth after Hegseth tried to strip him of his Navy captain rank and retirement benefits, a fight that is very much still unfolding. Trump's EPA also announced it will stop factoring in lives saved and health benefits when setting air pollution regulations, which feels like an interesting new definition of “cost-benefit analysis.” In labor news, roughly 15,000 nurses at major NYC hospitals went on strike demanding safer staffing ratios, better pay, and improved security — aka the bare minimum to keep hospitals functioning. On the tech-politics crossover beat, Meta named Dina Powell McCormick — former Trump deputy national security adviser and wife of GOP Sen. David McCormick — as its new president and vice chair, a hire Trump was thrilled to personally endorse online. Elsewhere, a 19-year-old appeared in federal court on arson charges for allegedly setting fire to Mississippi's historic Beth Israel Congregation synagogue, and former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola announced she's running for Alaska's U.S. Senate seat in 2026, giving Dems at least one race to daydream about.

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" talks to Michael Knowles and Batya Ungar-Sargon about how the mainstream media and the Democratic Party have put people like ICE shooting victim Renee Nicole Macklin Good at the risk of losing their life by convincing them that it's their duty to interfere and fight back against ICE raids and unknowingly putting themselves in harm's way; Jimmy Kimmel shocking his audience with his truly tasteless joke about Donald Trump after the capture of Nicolás Maduro and the tragic ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Macklin Good in Minneapolis; Marco Rubio making a reporter go quiet with his perfect answer over what the United States plans to do with Venezuela's oil; Pete Hegseth humiliating CNN to their face for their double standards and desperation in trying to find a reason to criticize the capture of Nicolás Maduro; Katie Miller's conversation with Jenny McCarthy about vaccines for kids and if vaccine skepticism has swung too far in the other direction and is beginning to harm children; resurfaced video of Zohran Mamdani's newly appointed tenant advocate Cea Weaver showing her explaining why white homeowners will have to rethink their relationship to home ownership and private property and how she broke down crying when confronted about her mother's $1.6 million dollar home; and much more.
