**Candace Owens Targets Erika Kirk Over Event Cancellation Claims**Candace Owens continues her campaign against Erika Kirk, widow of Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk, accusing her of backing out of a TPUSA event at the University of Georgia due to poor ticket sales, rather than alleged security threats, RadarOnline.com reports. Owens doubts the validity of the "very serious threats" that prompted Erika to miss the April 14 event, where Andrew Kolvet, executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, filled in to interview Vice President JD Vance and other Republican figures. Erika stated, "I was so looking forward to tonight's event at the @universityofga.. but after all our family has been through, I take my security team's recommendations extremely seriously," referencing her husband's tragic assassination at a TPUSA event in September 2025.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Energy Secretary Chris Wright is sounding the alarm on California's energy policies under Governor Gavin Newsom, warning they could pose a significant threat to national security. Newsom's administration is criticized for reducing in-state energy production and relying on foreign imports. This dependence creates vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The potential for blackouts and instability raises concerns about economic and security implications beyond California's borders. Is the golden state's green agenda creating a national security risk? We examine the details and discuss what this means for the rest of the country. This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as they become available.
Kia ora. Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand. I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz. Today we lead with news the Middle East ceasefire deal is still an imaginary figment. Meanwhile, US real personal spending rose just +0.1% in February from January after stagnating in January. The few places of expansion were vehicle sales, healthcare, and financial services. This data shows why most Americans don't feel like they are making economic progress. Worse, real disposable personal income fell -0.5% in February. And the final update of US Q4-2025 economic activity was revised lower yet again. You may recall it was originally touted as a +4.4% growth rate (from the prior quarter). Then the second estimate pegged it at +1.7%. This final update has dropped it to +0.5%, with revisions that reveal lower investment and consumer spending. Year-on-year in real terms, the US economy was +2.0% larger than in Q4-2024, and that is the slowest expansion since Q4-2022, and before that (and except during the pandemic), Q1-2019. US initial jobless claims rose more than expected to 203,000 last week, far more than seasonal factors would have accounted for (188,000). There are now 1,928 mln people on these benefits, less than a year ago, but more than two years ago. The April USDA WASDE report shows smaller US beef production, and they raised their beef import forecast based on recent trade data and continued strong demand for lean processing beef (like from New Zealand). In Canada, there is some intriguing politics to note. Mark Carney leads a minority, coalition government. But recent defections from the Conservatives, and likely by-election results, could see his Liberal Party governing on its own very soon as a majority party. They are cashing in on Carney's surging popularity. In Japan, consumer confidence retreated sharply in March from February which was the highest figure since April 2019. The trigger for the fallback is the global uncertainty and the latest data takes their sentiment levels back to those of May 2025. Malaysia said its industrial production rose +3.1% in February from a year ago. This was sharply less than the +5.5% expected. Meanwhile, German exports rose more than expected, up +2.9% in February from a year ago, and that was despite a -7.5% fall to the US and a -2.5% fall to China. Their imports rose +1.5% from a year ago. We should also note that Anthropic's new AI model is getting eye-catching attention. It's abilities has scared even its own developers who have warned Big Tech to prepare for major disruption. Current cyber security is about to get busted big-time. Global container freight rates rose just +1% last week from the prior week to be +2% higher than year-ago levels. And that was despite sharp increases in China-EU rates that have been roiled by the Middle East conflicts. Bulk cargo rates rose +3.3% over the past week to be +60% higher than year-ago levels. The UST 10yr yield is now just on 4.29%, up +1 bp from this time yesterday. The price of gold will start today up +US$59 at US$4799/oz. (It's record high is US$5422/oz.) Silver is up +US$1.50 at US$76.50/oz. American oil prices are up +US$3 at just on US$99/bbl, while the international Brent price is up a bit less at just under US$97/bbl. The Kiwi dollar is up +40 bps from yesterday at this time at 58.7 USc. Against the Aussie we have risen +10 bps to 82.8 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at just on 50 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today up +30 bps from yesterday at just over 62.2. The bitcoin price starts today at US$72,330 and up +0.6% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/- 1.5%. You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz. Kia ora. I'm David Chaston and we'll do this again on Monday.
The army is ramping up combat training amid growing Indo-Pacific security risks. Senior commanders say the pressure on our defence forces is greater than at any point in recent memory, citing a dangerous strategic backdrop of Chinese expansion in the Pacific and an increasingly unstable world order. Former Defence Minister Wayne Mapp told Mike Hosking we actually had a much bigger deployment in the first part of the century, but pressures have shifted. He says uncertainty has replaced predictability, which has created a level of anxiety everyone's experiencing. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

These sources consist of raw audio transcripts from Spanish-language and English digital forums that expose a volatile ecosystem of cybercrime and political corruption. The discussions reveal deep ties between Mexican drug cartels and state institutions, specifically detailing how hackers manipulate election databases and deploy military-grade surveillance technology. Key figures, including an operative named Julio, describe a reality where organized crime and government agencies are indistinguishable, frequently trading data and high-tech tools. Amidst this technical discourse, the participants engage in intense personal feuds, using threats of doxing and character assassination to navigate a hierarchy based on digital reputation. Ultimately, the text illustrates a lawless digital frontier where private surveillance software is weaponized as a tool for both extortion and political transparency.
With our nation at war and under threat, the last thing you'd want is uncertainty and a staffing shakeup at the agency responsible for protecting our country. But here we are. We talk about why Joe Kent, the U.S. head of counterterrorism, resigned, and whether we may be better off with a replacement given his history of promoting conspiracy theories. Also, President Trump vowed to take Cuba. We try to understand the foreign policy that's taking shape where he seems to favor cutting the head of a country but leaving the body. In other words, don't get too caught up in the details of what's next because it's not my administration's problem. Plus we take your questions, including what's the difference between professional politicians and professional candidates.

00:02 Muhammad Jallah, Muhammad Jallah shouted Allahu Akbar before opening fire at Old Dominion. um That's been ruled a terrorist attack. Amen. Muhammad Ghazali, he's the guy that drove into the synagogue in Michigan. You had the two bomb throwers in New York City. You had the shooter in New York City. Terrorism is in our midst, ladies and gentlemen, right now. ah And what are we going to do about it? 00:32 That's the thing. What are we going to do about it? Joining us right now is Dr. Ehrenfeld, who is the author of uh Finding Evil, How Terrorism is Financed and How to Stop it. Dr. Ehrenfeld, welcome to the program, ah Thank you for having me. So, I mean, this is what is, I mean, when we look at all of this stuff, is there a common ideology behind all the terrorism? Yeah, since you asked, yeah. 01:02 This is Jihad and sacrificing one for Allah. So since October 7, 2023, when Hamas committed genocide against Israelis and others in Gaza, there have been more than 13,340 01:33 anti-Semitic attacks. That means attacks against Jews. 13,340? Yes. Wow. And this includes the attacks at the universities that we saw. were demonstrations all the time. Yeah. Okay. These attacks, this includes attacks on the streets. 01:59 This includes not only attacks from synagogues, there are many, many attacks which are not reported. People don't want to bother with it. People are attacked on the street because they have, they wear a kippah, something on the head that Orthodox Jews wear, or they wear a magendavid, it's a Star of David, as a jewelry. 02:27 They are being attacked all the time. now it's not just, I mean, we all know what happened at the Jewish Center in Michigan. Gretchen Whitmer said this was anti-Semitism and everybody's calling it out and saying it's a horrible thing, but nobody's pointing the finger at the ideology behind it. And like you said, it was jihad, right? Yeah. Well, the attacker, 02:54 absolutely that I have came from Dearborn Michigan right very crazy about half an hour drive from there and um at uh for example Dearborn both the mayor of the city is radical Muslim yeah who justified justified the attack saying that the family family and some friends of the attacker 03:24 uh... uh... previously because uh... bombing the Hezbollah. Well, it turns out that his brother apparently in Lebanon has been a member of Hezbollah. We don't know about him because nobody asked apparently the question when he became a citizen or when he arrived in the United States. um And for example, what they are teaching professors ah 03:52 had been quoting from me ah in Dearborn, ah the Ford Community College, Professor Ali Akbar Shadid said the following, Trump made a huge mistake by killing our leader Ali Khamenei. We are going to continue on his path. We are going to hold his blood and ideology and teach it to our children. This is this week. 04:22 after Ali Khamenei was killed a week ago, something by the United States and Israel. So they are continuing also to preach in their mosques all the time for jihad, to kill all the Jews, but it's not only the Jews. Now we see also more arise in attacks against Christian Americans. 04:48 ah So we have seen there was the attack in Austin, Texas. What is it? Two weeks ago, 12 people were shot. uh Others were wounded. We have seen the attacks, other attacks this week, uh like the attack on, oh what is it? Yeah, this was Austin, Texas. Yeah. Yeah, and also, 05:17 He also yelled, Anurag Akbar, was wearing an Iranian flag on his clothes. Right. Yeah. That was in New York. But again, it's like nobody in the mainstream media wants to point out you can't solve a problem unless you identify the problem, and they just don't want to identify the problem. You absolutely have to identify the problem. And you have to look at data, at statistics. 05:45 The Muslims in the United States account to about 1.2, maybe 1.3 percentage of the population. I don't know, 99 % of terrorist ...

A new episode of Parsing Immigration Policy features a wide-ranging conversation on national security threats tied to the historic surge of illegal immigration during the Biden administration. Host Andrew Arthur, the Center's Fellow in Law and Policy and a former immigration judge, interviews Mark Morgan, a former FBI agent who also served as Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, Acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.In the episode, Morgan warns that the unprecedented number of illegal entries during the last administration created serious vulnerabilities for the United States. Under President Biden, 10.5 to 12 million inadmissible aliens were encountered at the border, most of whom were released into the United States. In addition, an estimated 1.5 to 1.8 million “got aways” - individuals observed crossing the border illegally but never apprehended -entered the country.“These are individuals we know nothing about, and the most difficult threats to stop are lone actors or small cells,” Morgan explains.Morgan emphasizes that border security is inseparable from national security, particularly as intelligence officials are warning of an elevated terrorism threat environment. The FBI and the broader intelligence community have described the current threat landscape as the most complex since the aftermath of the September 11 attacks.The discussion also addresses concerns about potential Iranian sleeper cells and terrorist proxies following escalating tensions involving the Islamic Republic of Iran. Morgan explains that the Iranian regime was responsible for more American deaths than any other organization, and that they have historically relied on proxy groups such as Hezbollah to carry out attacks against U.S. interests.Arthur and Morgan also examine emerging threats from foreign adversaries, including concerns surrounding the entry of more than 200,000 Chinese nationals during the Biden administration and the broader risks posed by individuals arriving from 163 different countries, including individuals on the terrorist watchlist and thousands of “Special Interest Aliens” who entered daily from nations known to facilitate terrorism.Morgan concludes that the long-term consequences of the border crisis will continue to impact U.S. national security for years to come, underscoring the need for stronger enforcement, improved vetting, and policies that restore integrity to the immigration system.Host Art Arthur is the Resident Fellow in Law and Policy at the Center for Immigration StudiesGuestMark Morgan isa former FBI agent who also served as Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, Acting Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Acting Director of Immigration and Customs EnforcementRelatedMark Morgan's new book, The Biden Border CrisisOperation Midnight Hammer and Threat of Iranian Sleeper CellsThousands of Special Interest Aliens Posing Potential Security Risks Entering via CBP One AppHow to Lower the Risk of New Terror Strikes by Border-Crossing Islamist ExtremistsBiden Administration Secretly Let in Thousands of Unvetted Migrants from ‘Countries of National Security Concern'Intro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

The current state of national security is under scrutiny as the Department of Justice and FBI face significant internal changes. Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are overseeing a systematic removal of experienced personnel, specifically targeting those involved in previous high profile investigations. This purge has resulted in the loss of elite agents within the CI12 unit who possess critical expertise regarding Iran and global espionage. The timing of these firings is particularly concerning given the recent escalation of military conflict and the launch of Operation Epic Fury. While conventional military strikes dominate the news, the silent threat of cyber warfare looms. Iran is recognized for its advanced cyber capabilities, often retaliating through malware and intrusions into critical infrastructure like water systems and energy networks. The loss of institutional memory and veteran leadership, including figures like Steve Jensen and Brian Driscoll, leaves domestic defenses in a state of disarray. Loyalty tests and political questionnaires have replaced professional merit, leading to a decline in morale and a potential breakdown in intelligence sharing with international allies. Google's threat intelligence experts warn that global cyber attacks are inevitable. As the FBI's foreign influence task force is disbanded and leadership roles remain vacant, the ability to connect the dots and prevent future incidents is severely compromised. The focus on personal retribution over national safety has created a vulnerable attack surface, leaving the country exposed during a period of intense Middle East volatility.

Did China steal Anthropic's AI powers? Well, that's the shocking bombshell report that Anthropic just dropped. They accused multiple Chinese AI companies of generating more than 16 million exchanges with their models just to try and copy it. We get what you're thinking….. “So. That means cheaper open Chinese models so we all win, right.” Wrong. On this episode of Everyday AI, we break down Anthropic's shocking AI distillation accusations against Chinese firms, what they actually mean, and how they're more impactful outside of just the AI model you choose to use.

Over the last 48-72 hours, I completely fell down the rabbit hole with a new AI tool called Clawdbot (rebranded TODAY to Moltbot). Instead of my planned episode about what's on my mind in January 2026, I decided to share my raw, unfiltered experience setting up this AI assistant that runs 24/7 and integrates with all my tools. This isn't your typical AI chat interface—it's an always-on assistant I can text through Telegram that proactively handles research, automates workflows, and maintains institutional memory of all my content. I'll walk you through exactly how I discovered it, my security-first setup approach using a virtual private server, the learning curve (spoiler: it took me until 1:30 AM), and the specific ways I'm using it now. From automated guest research and fitness tracking to content ideation from my 300+ podcast transcripts, this tool is changing how I think about AI assistance. But I'm also wrestling with bigger questions about what this means for content creation, human creativity, and where we draw the line on AI-generated work. → Alex Finn video → Learn about Clawdbot → Setup video from Neil Stephenson → Setup video from VelvetShark Full transcript and show notes *** TIMESTAMPS (00:00) Discovery Through Alex Finn's Video (02:50) What Actually Is Clawdbot?

professorjrod@gmail.comIn this episode of Technology Tap: CompTIA Study Guide, we delve into endpoint security—a crucial topic for anyone preparing for IT certification exams, especially CompTIA. Traditional firewalls no longer fully protect your network; attackers now exploit endpoints like laptops, phones, printers, and smart devices to breach security. We explore how threats bypass perimeter defenses by targeting users and devices directly, and explain essential controls such as hardening, segmentation, encryption, patching, behavior analytics, and access management. Whether you're studying for your CompTIA exam or seeking practical IT skills development, this episode offers critical insights and IT certification tips to strengthen your understanding of cybersecurity fundamentals. Tune in to enhance your tech exam prep and advance your technology education journey.We start with foundations that actually move risk: baseline configurations, aggressive patch management, and closing unnecessary ports and services. From there we layer modern defenses—EDR and XDR for continuous telemetry and automated containment, UEBA to surface the 3 a.m. login or odd data pulls, and the underrated duo of least privilege and application allow listing to deny unknown code a chance to run. You'll hear why full disk encryption is non‑negotiable and how policy, not heroics, sustains security over time.Mobile endpoints take center stage with clear tactics for safer travel and remote work: stronger screen locks and biometrics, MDM policies that enforce remote wipe and jailbreak detection, and connection hygiene that favors VPN and cellular over public Wi‑Fi. We break down evil twin traps, side loading risks, and permission sprawl, then pivot to IoT realities—default passwords, stale firmware, exposed admin panels—and how VLAN isolation and firmware schedules defang them. A real case of a chatty lobby printer becoming an attack pivot drives home the need for logging and outbound controls through SIEM.The takeaway is simple and urgent: if it connects, it can be attacked, and if it's hardened, segmented, encrypted, and monitored, it can be defended. Subscribe for more practical security deep dives, share this with a teammate who owns devices or networks, and leave a review to tell us which control you'll deploy first.Support the showArt By Sarah/DesmondMusic by Joakim KarudLittle chacha ProductionsJuan Rodriguez can be reached atTikTok @ProfessorJrodProfessorJRod@gmail.com@Prof_JRodInstagram ProfessorJRod
Tony Connelly, Europe Editor, looks ahead to the NATO meeting of Allied Foreign Ministers.
In this candid podcast, Bureau Veritas Marine and Offshore's cyber security technical leader Panagiotis Anastasiou outlines his concerns about what he views as shipping's limited approach to cyber security and a need for increased awareness of its importance. His career-long knowledge and experience of cyber security arrangements in the aerospace sector — particularly with satellite technology — gives him an authoritative overview of cyber security and, for an industry that has autonomous vessels in development, he had expected to find shipping to be very advanced in its cyber security implementation and attitudes. Instead, he found that was not the case. His remarks include an example of a recent incident in which a service provider's systems were compromised, affecting at least 120 ships. The breach was subsequently repaired but the full story prompts Anastasiou to observe that “we fall in the same hole again and again”. He says this is because of limited efforts to prepare for cyber security difficulties. In contrast to shipping's approach, cyber security is the starting point when satellite systems are designed, he says. Controls, procedures and governance are built on that foundation, with ground infrastructure and component design following on. This approach should be common to all industries, including marine, he says. He acknowledges that maritime regulations now apply to cyber security which make it mandatory to take precautions, but he believes that shipowners and their system suppliers should go further. Attitudes must change So, he explains in the podcast that attitudes must change and he outlines some ideas about how cyber security awareness could be strengthened by better – and repeated – education and cyber drills that are backed up by companies' tested policies on how to respond to cyber security incidents. He goes on to describe how a cyber attack on a vessel might be triggered by an attack on shoreside systems, given the growing connectivity between ship and shore and vice versa. Not only that, but the implications of a maritime cyber attack can extend far beyond the company itself, since any resulting operational delay could have an impact on an entire supply chain. Class societies have addressed cyber security concerns by developing two Unified Requirements — UR 26 and UR 27 — and Anastasiou was a member of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) Cyber Systems Panel that developed them. But he suggests in the podcast that these should be viewed as starting points for class societies to evolve requirements to match the pace of change in technology. As a response to his remarks, he encourages listeners to conduct internal assessments of their own cyber security and to reach out to their class societies for guidance to improve their resilience.
In this in-depth conversation, we sit down with Santosh Kumar Dhakal, a Military General, to break down the realities behind the Gen Z Protest in Nepal, the allegations against the army, and the rising regional tensions. He explains how the meeting unfolded, including the global parallels with the Gen Z movement, the revolutions in Iran, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, and offers clarity on the role of the Nepal Army during mass protests. We also discuss accusations that the army failed to protect key buildings, whether the army can act without orders, and how Nepal's national security and defense system actually operates. The conversation expands to highlight the precipitating and underlying causes and the likely influence of varied actors beyond the objectives of the Gen Zs. It highlights the importance of geopolitics and the security concerns of our neighbors, having symbiotic relations with Nepal's own security. He also talked about China and India's security concerns vis-à-vis Nepal's security concerns.

A government watchdog is sounding the alarm about a growing national security threat, one that comes from the everyday digital traces service members and their families leave online. A new Government Accountability Office report warns that publicly accessible data from social media posts and location tracking to routine Defense Department press releases can be pieced together by bad actors to identify military personnel and disrupt military operations. GAO says the Pentagon has taken some steps to address the threat, but its efforts remain scattered and lack coordination. For more, Federal News Network's Anastasia Obis spoke with Joe Kirschbaum, director of the defense capabilities and management team at GAO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

OpenAI has officially transitioned to a for-profit corporation, a move approved by Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings. This restructuring allows OpenAI to raise capital more effectively while maintaining oversight from its original non-profit entity. Microsoft now holds a 27% stake in the new structure, valued at over $100 billion, and OpenAI has committed to purchasing $250 billion in Microsoft Azure cloud services. This agreement includes provisions for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which will require verification from an independent expert panel before any declarations are made. Critics have raised concerns about the potential compromise of the non-profit's independence under this new arrangement.Research from cybersecurity firm SPLX indicates that AI agents, such as OpenAI's Atlas, are becoming new security threats due to vulnerabilities that allow malicious actors to manipulate their outputs. A survey revealed that only 17.5% of U.S. business leaders have an AI governance program in place, highlighting a significant gap in responsible AI use. The National Institute of Standards and Technology emphasizes the importance of identity governance in managing AI risks, suggesting that organizations must embed identity controls throughout AI deployment to mitigate potential threats.Additionally, a critical vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) is currently being exploited, with around 100,000 instances reported in just one week. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated actors to execute arbitrary code on affected systems, raising concerns among cybersecurity experts, especially since Microsoft has not updated its guidance on the matter. Meanwhile, Microsoft 365 Copilot has introduced a new feature enabling users to build applications and automate workflows using natural language, which could lead to governance challenges as employees create their own automations.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the need for enhanced governance and security measures. The shift of OpenAI to a for-profit model signals a tighter integration with Microsoft, necessitating familiarity with Azure's AI stack. The vulnerabilities associated with AI agents and the WSUS exploit highlight the importance of proactive security measures. MSPs should prioritize establishing governance frameworks around AI usage and ensure robust identity management to mitigate risks associated with these emerging technologies.Four things to know today00:00 OpenAI Officially Becomes a For-Profit Corporation, Cementing $100B Partnership with Microsoft03:30 AI Agents Are Becoming a Security Nightmare—Because No One Knows Who They Really Are07:53 Hackers Are Targeting WSUS Servers — and You Could Be Distributing Malware Without Knowing It09:28 Microsoft's New Copilot Features Turn AI from Assistant to App Creator, Raising Governance Questions This is the Business of Tech.

The U.S. Secret Service dismantled a network of electronic devices located throughout the New York tristate area that were used to conduct multiple telecommunications-related threats directed towards senior U.S. government officials, which represented an imminent threat to the agency's protective operations. This protective intelligence investigation led to the discovery of more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites. In addition to carrying out anonymous telephonic threats, these devices could be used to conduct a wide range of telecommunications attacks. This includes disabling cell phone towers, enabling denial of services attacks and facilitating anonymous, encrypted communication between potential threat actors and criminal enterprises. While forensic examination of these devices is ongoing, early analysis indicates cellular communications between nation-state threat actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement.Ransomware!• EU cyber agency says airport software held to ransom by criminals • A Cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover Is Causing a Supply Chain Disaster • Rising cyberattacks on K-12 schools prompt concern as Uvalde CISD grapples with ransomwareCyber threat information law hurtles toward expiration, with poor prospects for renewal• Rand Paul's last-minute demands push key cybersecurity law to the brink• Peters Urges Senate to Quickly Extend Critical Cybersecurity Protections That Expire on October 1st• Health-ISAC CSO: A Looming Deadline: The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015• RER and Coalition Urges TRIA Reauthorization• Commentary: Shrinking cyber budgets and rising threats: Why public-private partnerships are now mission-criticalUS threats and violence• MN man threatened people via email as retaliation for Charlie Kirk's death: Charges• NH Man Arrested for Allegedly Plotting to Kill Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte With Pipe Bombs• NCTC Supports U.S. Law Enforcement, First Responders by Sharing Intel Product Aimed at Deterring Attacks by Al-Qa'ida• ISIS calls for slaughter of Christians and Jews in UK attacks – 'shoot, stab, and ram' Quick Hits:• FBI PSA: Threat Actors Spoofing the FBI IC3 Website for Possible Malicious Activity• NHC issuing advisories for the Atlantic on Hurricane Gabrielle• UK NPSA: Vehicle Security Barriers at Event Venues • TikTok: Statement from ByteDanceo Deal to Keep TikTok in U.S. Is Near.

In a nation where the foundations are trembling, today's broadcast will shatter the illusion of stability. We're plunging into the unfiltered reality of election integrity, national security, and global power schemes with two of the most knowledgeable and unyielding voices in the battle. Former CIA officer and national security expert Clare Lopez joins us to unravel the hidden ties between radical Islamic movements and Marxist factions within the U.S. Lopez reveals the ideological assault endangering our nation—and how immigration, ideology, and subterfuge fuel it. Next, Dr. Jerome Corsi, Harvard-educated author and investigative journalist, exposes shocking claims about an Obama-Biden pact with Honduras that allegedly unleashed waves of illegal immigration, cartel influence, and political money laundering. Corsi details how this scheme supposedly leveraged immigration policies, religious figures, and financial ruses to bankroll political agendas, while systematically undermining election integrity. His evidence-based revelations will challenge your understanding of our borders, elections, and government. Far beyond a simple program, it's a bold summons to confront the truth, time for vigilance, action, and resolve. We'll also spotlight the unjust prosecution of Tina Peters, contrasting her severe punishment with the leniency shown to proven election fraudsters. Prepare for bold truths, unapologetic insights, and revelations the mainstream media avoids. Today's Untamed is a must-watch. The future of America is on the line.

While President Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency have kept their promise to cut government waste, there have been cuts at the Department of Defense, concerning some about Americas' ability to protect itself against foreign adversaries. Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Representative Rick Crawford (AR-1), announced that the 2025 Annual Worldwide Threats Assessment Full Committee Hearing will be held on Wednesday. He discusses what he thinks are the major adversaries the U.S. should watch out for and how to maintain strong alliances to address these threats. The Chairman also describes the ongoing war in Ukraine and how the Trump Administration can assist in a peaceful resolution with Russia. For decades, there have been numerous conspiracy theories related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. President Trump's recent release of thousands of pages of files was intended to shed light on the murder. Gerald Posner, American investigative journalist and the author “Case Closed: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Assassination of JFK,” reveals why, despite the new information, he still thinks Oswald acted alone.
