Iran deal, Niño Guerrero, New York Knicks riots, Elon Musk, and Freddie from Germany headline today's A.M. Update. Trump posts on Truth Social that a deal with Iran is complete and the Strait of Hormuz is open, but Aaron recorded much of this episode before that post dropped — and his pre-deal analysis still stands, because nobody has seen the text, the Middle East is calling it a capitulation, and Aaron says pump the brakes either way. Tren de Aragua leader Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, known as Niño Guerrero, is killed in a U.S. military strike that Trump announced Friday with video. New York Knicks fans torch five school buses, injure ten NYPD officers, and shoot one person celebrating the NBA championship, and Aaron notes that PSG fans set the bar and New York said hold my degeneracy. Elon Musk becomes the world's first trillionaire after SpaceX's $75 billion IPO, AOC calls him unintelligent, Ro Khanna wants a 5% wealth tax that Aaron's math shows wouldn't cover half of one year of bachelor's degree tuition. Aaron closes with Aaronalysis on Freddie from Germany, the X account that went from thousands to half a million followers by driving through the American South for the World Cup and being blown away by Buc-ee's, Bass Pro Shops, stranger hospitality, and the Gulf Coast at sunset.
Don sits down with Congressman Ro Khanna for a candid conversation about Trump's new Iran deal, the spectacle surrounding the White House UFC event, and the broader challenges facing the Democratic Party at this pivotal moment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a show that whiplashes in real time right alongside the news itself. Trump tells Fox News in the morning that bombing Iran will continue and be bigger than ever, then hours later announces on Truth Social that strikes are canceled and a memorandum of understanding has been signed with eleven countries including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. In the Oval Office, Trump reveals the Strait of Hormuz has secretly been open the entire time, with hundreds of millions of barrels of oil quietly moved out at night while radar was jammed, directly undercutting the media narrative that blamed gas prices on a closed strait. Within the hour, Trump posts again accusing Iran of lying about the deal terms and says the war may be back on. Chris Paul makes the case that the discombobulation itself may be the point, an invitation to step back and simply observe rather than form beliefs from contradictory information. CannCon and Chris also dig into the Hill's reporting on a growing GOP civil war, with Massey, MTG, and Ro Khanna appearing together in ways that suggest either organic coalition building or a scripted third party operation. JD Vance heads to Europe to finalize the deal before a View appearance back home.
Darrell Castle talks about a bill currently working its way through the U.S. Congress which would, if passed, literally integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries and would put funding for the Israeli military on auto pilot. Will it pass and be signed by the President? Many people seem to think it will so he takes a look at it today. THE ISRAELIZATION OF THE U.S. MILITARY Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 12th of June in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about a bill currently working its way through the United States Congress which would, if passed, literally integrate the U.S. and Israeli militaries and would put funding for the Israeli military on auto pilot. Will it pass and be signed by the President. Many people seem to think it will so we take a look at it today. Yes, unfortunately it seems that certain members of the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States are now ready to complete the process of uniting the two countries militaries. The first bill introduced in the House would have literally combined the two. Many of the Israel first politicians are already dual citizens so why not complete the process and stop all the hypocrisy. Just go ahead and make the U.S. military the official enforcement arm of Israeli foreign policy. The most egregious provision of the original bill is that the benefits due to American veterans like me, such as medical and educational benefits would have also been available to all Israeli veterans. That would have been a supreme insult to every American veteran who has ever served. The last time I checked there were about 15 million living American veterans so why not just insult them all while they are still alive. Just tell them all that “your service to this nation meant nothing” but certainly no more to America than an Israeli veteran meant to America. Fortunately, that portion of the bill was pulled before it advanced but there are rumors that it is still out there in Congress or at least in some of their minds and it will be added back in. The bill being considered is the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which would fund the U.S. military for another year. According to members of the House whose opinions I have read, there is near certainty that Section 224 of that bill will pass through the House and become law with the President's signature. Congressman Ro Khanna, Democrat, and Thomas Massie, Republican tried to pass an amendment to delete Section 224 but the amendment failed. That section will set up a “United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative” that integrates US-Israeli military research and development co-production of weapons systems, licensing agreements, AI, directed energy. Data integration, and missile defense. It creates the framework for bilateral research and development, co-production of weapons, joint ventures, licensing agreements, and virtually every manner of U.S.-Israeli military cooperation. The Director of this “Initiative” who will be responsible for coordination of the work will reportedly be an Israeli. The funding will come 100% from the U.S, treasury through part of the $1.5 trillion defense budget requested by President Trump. The purpose as stated is to fully connect the functionality of the U.S. military with that of the Israeli military in what is being described as an equal partnership that will include the government of Israel and the Israeli Defense Forces as full partners. There will be intelligence sharing and in fact the bill includes a requirement that intelligence must be shared. Israeli forces will be included in the planning process of how U.S. weapons are developed and procured. This serves to explain at least in part why Netanyahu has been indicating recently that Israel might be willing to forego some of the mandatory $3.8 billion the U.S. gives it every year. He obviously knows there is an even bigger slice of American Pie coming his way via Section 224. The intelligence sharing portion of the bill was introduced by Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas which he calls “US-Israel Intelligence Sharing Enhancement.” Interestingly, at the same time the New York Times recently carried an article entitled “Pentagon Sees Growing Espionage Threat from Israel.” The article is sourced to the Defense Intelligence Agency which says that the espionage threat from Israel is at the highest possible level and even says that Israel eavesdropped on negotiations between the United States and Iran conducted in Pakistan. The senators pushing this bill often refer to Israel as our best friend and most trusted ally but at the same time the DIA has that country listed as the highest possible espionage threat. Just to keep following this espionage threat let me tell you or remind you of a couple of things this best friend has done during its roughly 78 years as a political nation. In 1984 when a man named Yitzhak Shamir was prime minister and Ronald Reagan was the US president; Israel dispatched an American of dual citizenship named Jonathan Pollard to do some spying against the US. Pollard worked in the US defense establishment and had access to some of the most highly classified military secrets. He stole and delivered the entire 10 volume DIA manual of in person or human intelligence operatives all over the world. The manual contained the names and locations of US intelligence operatives working in the Soviet Union and Communist China both countries in a desperate cold war with the US. Pollard delivered the manual along with many other vital intelligence documents to his handlers in Israel. Can you guess what our best friend and most trusted ally did with the manual and other information. Yes, that's right, they gave it to the Soviet Union and Communist China in exchange for “favors”. Thousands of US personnel along with foreign operatives working with US Intelligence were arrested and many were killed so I guess as the saying goes with friends like that who needs enemies. Pollard did his work in 1984 and in 1987 he was sentenced to life in prison and he served exactly 30 years plus five years of probation. He was then allowed to move to Israel where he has hero status. The American Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, had him over to the US Embassy for a little get together recently. That Pollard incident illustrates the one-sided relationship the US has with Israel quite clearly but as bad as it was it was not the worst. No, the worst happened in 1967 when a man named Levi Eshkol was Prime Minister of Israel and Lyndon Johnson was US President. In fact, last Monday the 8th of June was the 59th anniversary of the Israeli attack on an American ship named USS Liberty. The Liberty was an intelligence gathering ship operating in International Waters in the Eastern Mediterranean when it was attacked by air forces of Israel. This attack was not an accident or improper identification or anything except a deliberate act of murder. The Liberty, an unarmed vessel, was relentless bombed and strafed by Israeli jets while clearly flying the American flag. The attack severed the radio mast and cut off the crew's ability to send a distress call but one crewman managed to climb on deck despite strafing fire, raise an antenna and get off a distress call. Out in the Med a US carrier heard the message and immediately launched jets for a rescue effort. I can tell you from a lot of personal experience that there is nothing that motivates US soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines like coming to the rescue of brothers in trouble. Unfortunately, the US Commander in Chief, Lyndon Johnson personally ordered the Carrier captain to withdraw his jets. They left Liberty to die on its own but the little ship and its crew refused to die. 34 men were killed and 171 wounded but the ship would not sink and made it back to port. The pilots of our most trusted friend and ally even machine-gunned wounded sailors in the water something honorable men do not do even when their nations are at war. No real investigation by government investigators with subpoena power has ever been conducted to my knowledge. Oh, there was a cursory inquiry as there always is but according to reporter Donald Jeffries who did a yeoman's job of private investigation and who has written extensively about the matter President Johnson ordered the board of inquiry to rule it an accident. Why did the Israelis attack the USS Liberty. Without going into a lot of what amounts to guesswork, it was probably because Israel was fighting what came to be known as the six-day-war against a coalition of enemy nations one of which was Egypt. The Liberty was to be sunk and the incident blamed on the Egyptians which would have given the US an excuse to enter the war against Egypt as retaliation. In both the Liberty attack and the Pollard incident not a single thing regarding US policy toward Israel changed. Not one dollar was cut from the very generous support. Compare this to the reaction upon news this week that an Apache Attack Helicopter had been shot down in the Persian Gulf near Hormuz. The President said he would retaliate with a massive bombing attack and would “take over” Iran's petroleum industry. I don't believe the story which makes no sense but not much in this war makes sense. An Apache is an attack helicopter with a mission of finding and destroying enemy armor but it can be used for armed reconnaissance as well. Perhaps that was its mission over the Gulf. It landed in the water with no injuries to crew so no I don't believe it and it was probably done by Israel if it was done at all. I don't think it was more than an excuse to resume the war. Finally, folks, the US has reportedly given Israel more than $300 billion since its founding in 1948 but it is on the brink of an even more egregious relationship whereby it combines its military with that of Israel. Something causes Washington politicians to shower our money that we work for on Israel and to support it while it robs the US at home and commits mass murder abroad. Why is the question. If all our politicians are blackmailed prostitutes shouldn't we have some knowledge of our worth, How much do they get from the pimps who own them. At least that's the way I seen it. Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.
Pete Buttigieg sat down for a friendly interview and told Republicans exactly what Democrats plan to do to the Supreme Court — pack it from 9 to 13 justices, no constitutional amendment required, just a Senate majority. He calls it a "rogue Supreme Court," spins the gerrymandering fight as a race war, and Larry O'Connor takes it all apart fact by fact. Plus Raphael Warnock claims the Court "committed violence," Ro Khanna pushes the same 13-justice plan, and a blunt warning to John Thune. Featuring Pete Buttigieg, Raphael Warnock and Ro Khanna.

- Graham Platner heads into the Maine primary as a scandal magnet, with the show arguing that the worst material is still unreleased and that Democrats are knowingly rallying behind a candidate they cannot defend much longer. - The New York Times and allied media are accused of slow-walking and softening the damage, protecting Plattner instead of fully surfacing the allegations, texts, and behavior that could end his candidacy. - Maine Democrats are portrayed as fully dug in, with voters and national figures like Ro Khanna willing to excuse almost anything so long as Plattner remains a vehicle for stopping Trump and flipping the Senate. - California's late-counted mail ballots are framed as blatant election manipulation, with Spencer Pratt's runoff slot slipping as the episode argues Democrats are using extended counting windows to manufacture the result they want. - The broader message is that legacy media and political elites protect favored candidates, dismiss obvious hypocrisy, and treat ordinary voters like fools while insiders decide which scandals matter and which ones get buried.

In this segment Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger argue that a proposed NDAA provision known as Section 224 would be a pipe dream for Bibi Netanyahu by significantly undermining U.S. independence, fusing the US military with the IDF, and effectively integrating the two countries' military and technology sectors while compelling American taxpayers to fund Israel's wars. Jimmy highlights opposition from Ro Khanna and other lawmakers, who contend that the measure would expand military ties with Israel despite concerns over the Gaza war, human rights issues, and public opposition to additional aid. Supporters of the provision, including Congressmen Pat Fallon and Don Davis, argue that it is intended to improve defense technology collaboration, cybersecurity, and military readiness rather than merge the two militaries. The discussion also focuses on lobbying influence, congressional debate over U.S.-Israel relations, and the broader political implications of expanding bilateral defense cooperation. Plus segments on UFC champion Sean Strickland's ban from the White House, Candace Owens' exposé of the Macron's phony lawsuit against her and the House's recent rebuke of President Trump over the Iran war. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Arnold Schwartzenegger!
The infuriating Senate race in Maine must have Hitler, Himmler, and Goebbels cheering in hell. Dean breaks down his latest New York Sun column regarding Senator Susan Collins and her Democratic challenger, Graham Plattner. Dean pulls no punches discussing Plattner's Nazi Totenkopf tattoo, history with Blackwater, bloodlust for killing, and disturbing allegations of domestic abuse. So much for “believe all women.” Media Double Standards: Watch how corporate media handles a leftist candidate in crisis. Dean reacts to audio clips of CNN's Jake Tapper softening questions with James Carville with needless details that assist Carville in avoided Platner's evil, MSNOW's Chris Hayes tossing softball confirmation questions, and Congressman Ro Khanna moving the "red line" from believing women who allege abuse to saying it's cool as long as they don't leave more than “marks” on their bodies. The Scott Pelley "Combat" Myth: Dean calls out CBS anchor Scott Pelley for doubling down on claims of experiencing combat as a journalist, contrasting it sharply with the genuine humility of World War II and D-Day veterans. Pete Hegseth & French Ingratitude: On the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, residents of a French village claim U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth isn't welcome due to "warlike views." Dean delivers a blistering history lesson on Vichy France, historical collaboration, and the sacrifices marked by rows of American tombstones. Hollywood's "Dark Slop" Crisis: Turning to pop culture, Dean uses a clip from Raiders of the Lost Podcast discussing Legally Blonde to analyze why modern movies look visually unappealing, poorly lit, and homogenous compared to classic cinema shot on actual film.
THE REPUBLIC HAS ALWAYS HAD CHARLATANS. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE NOW IS THEY HAVE PODCASTS, CABLE NEWS CONTRACTS, AND MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS. Today on Wake Up America, we trace the charlatan problem from the founding era to the modern media machine. Dr. Benjamin Church spied for the British. Benedict Arnold was grifting before West Point. The Conway Cabal tried to remove George Washington through anonymous attacks. James Wilkinson commanded the U.S. Army while secretly taking Spanish money. Then we bring the pattern forward to Hunter Biden, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Scott Pelley, Ro Khanna, and the modern system that rewards the costume long after the record has fallen apart.
Ro Khanna went on Face the Nation and said he believes Lindsey Fifield's account of her abusive relationship with Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner — and then kept campaigning for Platner anyway, hiding behind the line "there's no evidence of violence." Margaret Brennan teed it up by downplaying the physical abuse detailed in the New York Times. Larry O'Connor, who knows Fifield personally, breaks down the hypocrisy, the "redemption" spin, and why even James Carville was more honest about it.

President Trump's grand plan for the Washington DC skyline isn't the only thing shaking up the city this summer. Last week he appointed a man with NO intelligence experience to head up the top agency in the intelligence community. Bill Pulte, who serves as the director of the federal housing finance agency, is the heir to a building fortune and close to the President. He's rubbed some cabinet members the wrong way.And his appointment has sparked concern among even Republicans trying to reauthorize a surveillance program that's due to expire this week. The top Democrat on the House Intel committee Jim Himes will be here today. Nebraska Republican Congressman Don Bacon also joins us.Meanwhile, Democrats are keeping close watch on Tuesday's Maine Senate primary as their candidate faces some alarming allegations of past aggressive behavior. We talk with a top Graham Platner supporter, California Democrat Ro Khanna.Finally...should the government have more control over the exploding field of Artificial Intelligence? Plus a conversation about the virtue of courage in public service
Graham Platner is leading Susan Collins in one of the most important Senate races in the country, and instead of asking how Democrats can win the seat, half the party seems busy feeding its own candidate into the purity machine.We break down the allegations against Platner, what he has admitted, what he denies, and why the political background of his most prominent accuser matters. We also talk about the larger question Democrats keep refusing to answer: what exactly is the standard?Because Donald Trump has 34 felony convictions, was found civilly liable for sexual abuse, owes millions in defamation damages, and is still treated by Republicans as perfectly fit to govern. But Graham Platner, a Marine combat veteran and PTSD survivor running against Susan Collins, gets treated like an extinction-level event by his own party.Also in this episode: Trump cries election fraud while his own candidates are winning in California, Pete Hegseth's Pentagon slashes recognized faiths and leans harder into Christian nationalism, Republicans briefly flinch at a $1.8 billion weaponization slush fund before protecting the possibility of bringing it back, Trump's White House ballroom donors rake in billions in federal contracts, and the House moves to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War.It is corruption, hypocrisy, purity politics, and institutional cowardice all the way down.Keywords: Graham Platner, Susan Collins, Maine Senate race, 2026 Senate election, Democratic Party, Democratic purity test, purity politics, Trump corruption, Donald Trump, Democratic double standard, Graham Platner allegations, Susan Collins Maine, Maine primary, Senate Democrats, Chuck Schumer, John Fetterman, Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Janet Mills, Project 2025, Heritage Foundation, Independent Women's Forum, Brett Kavanaugh, Trump felony convictions, E.

This week on the Mark Levin Show, the media is truly stupid in its reporting on the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, which portrayed PM Benjamin Netanyahu as the unprovoked aggressor hammering Lebanon with no context whatsoever. In reality, while Iran negotiates with the United States, its proxy Hezbollah has launched more missiles and drones at northern Israel than ever before, killing people, and forcing evacuations as part of a deliberate plan to drive Israelis out of the north and then the center, concentrating the population in a tiny area. The entire ruling class—including Democrats, some Republicans, and the media—is pathetically weak and stupid, while many podcasters gain attention simply by being as obnoxious, vile, and poisonous as possible. Also, congratulations to the terror lobby of Arabs and Islamists for successfully electing candidates to Congress exclusively within the Democrat Party, which is flooded with Marxists and Islamists. One such candidate is Adam Hamawy who traveled with the Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman as translator and witness on his behalf, plus his work in Bosnia with an Al Qaeda front group. Despite these ties, Hamawy has endorsements from Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib. The Democrat Party supports Nazis, Marxists, and Islamists for office. The Iran deal reportedly offers immediate release of billions in frozen funds, discussions on sanctions relief, and humanitarian aid in exchange for Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and forswearing nuclear weapons development for 60 days. This agreement provides a massive financial infusion to the regime—funding the IRGC and police state—without addressing ballistic missiles or the regime's brutality against its people. Why is economic and military pressure being lifted before securing firm concessions Enforcement will be impossible given the regime's terrorist history, especially after the Trump presidency.

This is the one we promised. Our full, unedited conversation with our first guest of Season 3; with public defender, creator, and iconic Survivor player Eliza Orlins. A slice of it ran in Thursday's episode. Here's the whole thing.Eliza anchored "Cover to Cover-Up," 24 straight hours live streaming a reading of the Epstein files, Cory Booker filibuster style, after Steve Schmidt and the Save America movement connected her with the redacted reading room in Tribeca. She takes us inside how it actually came together, the overnight scramble to fill the midnight to 7:30 AM hours, and what it felt like to read victim testimony out loud for a full day.She has been on the Epstein beat since 2018, when she watched the Manhattan DA's office quietly request a downward departure on his sex offender registration level, something she says she had never once seen in 15 years of public defending. She walks through what is actually in the files, the two million plus pages still hidden, the improper redactions in the pages we do have, and the Treasury documents that implicate Jamie Dimon and the banks. Then she makes the point that lands hardest: in every horrific case she ever read as a public defender, there was at least the promise of accountability. With Epstein, the richest and most powerful men in the world (Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Leon Black) have faced none. The reading room is now going on the road and opening two blocks from the White House, just in time for Trump's birthday.There is more here than made the Thursday cut. Eliza gets into the Democratic "autopsy," Rob Flaherty's much more honest version of it, and why she thinks the left is decades late on building real creator infrastructure because no one is watching cable news anymore. It is the clearest case we have heard for why shows like this one exist.Then things get a bit more personal as Eliza explains why she believes she will never be invited back to Survivor after she publicly torched CBS over its hard right turn, the $16 million settlement, Bari Weiss taking over CBS News, and a returning contestant's on air antisemitic rant. There are Survivor 50 hot takes, a MAGA alliance theory, and a Roy Moore connection you will not see coming.A programming note: this episode includes discussion of child sexual abuse and trafficking.

On Wednesday's Mark Levin Show, congratulations to the terror lobby of Arabs and Islamists for successfully electing candidates to Congress exclusively within the Democrat Party, which is flooded with Marxists and Islamists. One such candidate is Adam Hamawy who traveled with the Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman as translator and witness on his behalf, plus his work in Bosnia with an Al Qaeda front group. Despite these ties, Hamawy has endorsements from Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Rashida Tlaib. The Democrat Party supports Nazis, Marxists, and Islamists for office. Meanwhile, Sen Democrat Chris Van Hollen is the Islamists' greatest friend in Congress for constantly attacking Israel, praising CAIR, defending Iran and Qatar, and authoring a New York Times op-ed calling to break with and defund Israel. Also, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's housing plan is a Marxist scheme to steal private property. His plan will crush private landlords through low rents, high taxes, and regulations designed to force foreclosures so the city can seize properties, which is legalized theft consistent with socialist and Marxist principles. Later, Sean Hannity calls in to announce that Mark Levin will be his guest on his video podcast - Hang Out with Sean Hannity and a trip down memory lane. Learn more about your ad choices.

The column argues that Thomas Massie's primary defeat is not just a political loss but the symbolic collapse of what it calls the “Epstein Era,” meaning the period when Epstein-related transparency demands, online speculation, anti-establishment anger, and accusations about hidden networks became central to parts of Republican politics. Its basic claim is that Massie helped drag the party into a conspiracy swamp by pushing the Epstein Files Transparency Act with Ro Khanna, amplifying suspicion around sealed records, and giving oxygen to claims the writer treats as paranoia rather than legitimate oversight. The column frames Massie's loss to Trump-backed Ed Gallrein as voters finally rejecting that politics of suspicion, and it lumps Massie together with figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson as people who allegedly used Epstein to fuel distrust, grievance, and ideological chaos.But taken skeptically, the whole argument feels very convenient. Calling Massie's defeat the “end” of the Epstein era is a huge stretch, because Epstein did not become a major public issue because of Thomas Massie; he became one because of a real federal sweetheart deal, real victims, real institutional failures, real sealed records, real elite associations, and years of DOJ opacity. The column tries to convert a transparency fight into a conspiracy problem, which is a neat little rhetorical trick: once demands for records are branded as fever-swamp politics, the people asking for documents become the story instead of the documents themselves. Massie's bill passed the House 427–1, which makes it hard to pretend this was some fringe personal crusade rather than a politically explosive transparency issue with overwhelming bipartisan support. His defeat may show Trump's power inside a GOP primary, but it does not prove the Epstein questions are over, and it sure as hell does not erase the underlying reason people still want the files: the official story has never earned the level of trust its defenders keep demanding.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Thomas Massie's defeat brings the Epstein Era to a humiliating end

The Deep State just got caught red-handed in a delicious twist of irony, massive state-managed fraud rings are being dismantled, and the high-stakes chess match over Iran is reaching a boiling point. Today on The Adult in the Room, Victoria Taft breaks down the stunning federal indictment of high-level DOJ prosecutor Carmen Mercedes Lineberger, who was caught stealing and hiding sealed documents from Judge Aileen Cannon under the file names "chocolate cake recipe" and "bunt cake recipe." Next, we look at the massive federal raids in Minnesota dropping the hammer on multi-million dollar daycare fraud conduits like the infamous "Quality Leering Center." We also dive into the Howard Lutnick Epstein deposition transcripts, Spencer Pratt's shocking fundraising lead in the LA mayoral race, and a fiery history lesson from Senator Ted Cruz. Plus, we feature two crucial interviews: geopolitical expert Edmund Fitton-Brown breaks down the truth behind the Trump-Bibi tension, and SF street reporter JJ Smith exposes a horrific cash-for-identity voter and Medicare scam running unchecked on the streets.

Congressional Democrats want answers from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency https://cyberscoop.com/cisa-credential-leak-congress-demands-answers/ on GitHub in an incident that the security researcher who discovered it called one of the worst leaks he's ever seen. Other security professionals also voiced concern Tuesday about the leak and the potential for abuse by any malicious parties who got a hold of the information. Security firm GitGuardian said it discovered a public GitHub repository last week that exposed credentials for privileged AWS GovCloud accounts and internal CISA systems dating back to November. The repository, apparently maintained by a contractor, was named “Private-CISA.” Krebs on Security first reported the incident. A GitGuardian researcher said his main fear upon verifying the leak was real “is that a state actor will get the data and might be able to do bad stuff.” State-based attackers who obtained the credentials “might be able to gain persistence,” the researcher said, calling it worse than an attacker destroying a database or having an intruder gain access to a government system. The Office of Personnel Management would get a better handle on the federal biotechnology workforce under a pair of bills from a bipartisan House duo. Introduced Wednesday, the Federal Biotechnology Workforce Assessment Act directs OPM to coordinate with agency heads on defining the federal biotech workforce, in addition to assessing current and future needs for those “bio-literate” federal employees. The bill from Reps. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and Rich McCormick, R-Ga., shared first with FedScoop, is aimed at ensuring the federal government workforce keeps the country a step ahead of China in the biotech space. Priority No. 1 for OPM's assessment is identifying the total number of biotech positions required at federal agencies. The legislation is focused specifically on the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Interior, State, and Treasury, as well as the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation, NASA, and the offices of the Director of National Intelligence and the U.S. Trade Representative.

Jen Psaki looks at the political convenience of JD Vance's new anti-fraud talking points as he struggles to demonstrate some relevance while the rest of the Trump administration goes to China. But too much attention on fraud is a particularly awkward thing for Trump, who is trying to find a way to force the IRS to give him billions of taxpayer dollars, and while he his own son, Eric, with business interests in China, has joined him in traveling to Beijing. Senator Mark Kelly joins to discuss the corruption in the Trump administration and the incompetence of Pete Hegseth. Jen Psaki rounds up reporting on cost overruns, scheduling delays and quality defects in the work being done on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Despite going on at length about his role in picking the contractor without any bidding and the pool's new color, Trump is now quick to point the finger at "Interior." Rep. Joe Neguse talks with Jen Psaki about Trump's "gross waste of taxpayer resources." Rep. Ro Khanna joins to discuss Donald Trump's self-dealing.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth faced intense congressional questioning recently, with one representative accusing him of calling surviving soldiers "liars" after they contradicted his claim that a deadly drone attack was merely "a squirter that squeaked through fortified defenses"—with survivors telling CBS the unit had no defense against drones and was "unprepared to provide any defense for itself." When another questioner asked Hegseth how much the Iran war would cost American households in higher gas and food prices, the Defense secretary repeatedly deflected, demanding instead, "What would you pay to ensure Iran doesn't get a nuclear bomb?" before Ro Khanna interjected that the economic cost is $631 billion—"an increase of $5,000 a year for American households." Jimmy notes the contradiction that Trump officials claimed Iran's nuclear program was an "imminent threat" 60 days ago, but now claim it was "completely obliterated," yet still justify the war by saying Iran has nuclear "ambitions." The segment concludes with Khanna telling Hegseth, "You've betrayed... the MAGA base," adding that "JD Vance knows that." Plus segments on Rand Paul eviscerating his own credibility over the White House ballroom, the one fatal mistake Trump made in launching the Iran war and Trump's plan to pay Iran $25 billion to open the Strait of Hormuz. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Kurt Metzger!
The line between the internet and the streets has officially vanished. This week's rundown tracks the viral clips, radical agitators, pundits, politicians, and public figures responsible for the political violence exploding across the country — from the 2026 WHCD Trump assassination attempt and beyond. We expose the Left-wing extremists and ex-MAGA-tier provocateurs who are weaponizing the algorithm to tear the country apart. We're breaking down the raw footage of the clashes, the rage-baiting scams, and the "Key Players" fueling the fire — from Gavin Newsom's elite Corporate Left posturing to Hasan Piker's radical socialist stream-room rhetoric. If it's high-stakes, high-conflict, and high-engagement, we're dissecting it. The WHCD Shooting & Cole Tomas Allen: We dive into the chaos of the Hilton attack and the security failure it laid bare. From the "Friendly Federal Assassin" manifesto to the viral raw footage of the Secret Service evacuation, we examine whether Cole Tomas Allen is a lone wolf or the inevitable product of digital radicalization fed by the Resistance's most reckless voices. The Rage-Bait Grifters: We expose the "main characters" of the week. Whether it's staged confrontations for clicks or the calculated rage-baiting of the 2026 election cycle, we name names — from Tucker Carlson to Nick Fuentes to Candace Owens — and show exactly how they're profiting off your anger. Socialist Streamers vs. The Establishment: Hasan Piker, Gavin Newsom, Hakeem Jeffries, Ilhan Omar, and Ro Khanna come from different ends of the spectrum, but is their MAGA-target rhetoric the same? Black-pilled Gen Z has taken to TikTok with claims of a false flag.

Headlines for April 27, 2026; Rep.

We woke up to a Webby — and instead of just celebrating, we started asking: What does it mean to actually use your voice right now? Today, we're talking about what building Treat Media has really meant — why we chose to go independent, what we've gained (and risked), and why having no middleman changes everything about what we can say and how we can say it. And make sure you've listened to Tuesday's episode: Who is Enabling Trump? Amanda & (Our Next Pres?) Rep. Ro Khanna Name the Culprits and the Plan. We dig into Amanda's conversation with Rep. Ro Khanna — what we agreed with, what left us unsettled, and the bigger truth underneath it all: Why aren't the people in power doing the jobs they swore to do? This episode is about freedom, accountability, and what happens when you stop playing along. - Why going independent, and creating Treat Media, changed everything for us - What winning a Webby means — and what it doesn't - Why “good people” isn't the same as good leadership Follow We Can Do Hard Things on: Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/wecandohardthings
Amanda is joined by Congressman Ro Khanna for a no-spin, call-it-like-it-is conversation about the dumpster fire of Trump and Congress. We already know who Trump is. The more urgent question is—why is Congress too cowardly to do its job to stop him? Amanda and Rep. Khanna dig into: – How both parties are failing us; – The big, dark money that is shaping their cowardice; – Which Democratic leaders need to go; – The midterm election interference we know is coming (and the plan to combat it); – What gives Rep. Khanna hope about a new generation of leadership; and – Some exciting speculation about the 2028 Presidential campaign. This conversation is about moving past outrage and into action. What we demand. What we expect. And what must change. About Ro Khanna: A leader of action, courage and candor, Rep. Ro Khanna represents California's 17th District and represents what is possible when an elected has a backbone and cares more about their duty than their next election. If you've been following my series here, and you listened to my show on the Billionaire class as the real American welfare queens, you will want to know about Rep. Khanna's Make Billionaire's Pay Their Fair Share Act with Senator Sanders. If you listened to my series walking through decades of depraved federal corruption protecting Epstein, you will know that it was Rep. Khanna's dogged, intrepid resolve when everyone told him it was impossible, to pass his Epstein Transparency Act, together with Rep. Massie, which forced the administration to release files. If you listened to my episode on Jared Kushner and the real reasons we're in an inane and inept war with Iran, you will want to know that Rep. Khanna sponsored a Bipartisan War Powers Resolution with Rep. Massie in an attempt to restrict unauthorized military action. He has taken on big oil for their lies about climate change and was crucial in bringing a coalition together to secure a $369 Billion climate investment. He is an advocate for oversight, anticorruption, transparency, and freeing elections from the scourge of big money influence. He puts his money where his mouth is: He cofounded the NO PAC Caucus and is one of only SEVEN out of 435 members of Congress who rejects all money from special interest PACs. And he brings the fight not only to actively complicit Republicans, but to Democrats who scream on social media but sit on their hands instead of doing what needs to be done.
