Medal of Honor: Dennis M. Fujii. Trump snuck off Air Force One? A new studio policy. Fauci knew the COVID shot was a risk to pregnant women and still lied to Congress about it. Just how serious was the threat to Trump's life? The response to a nation killing our President should be nuclear weapons dropped on cities.Follow The Jesse Kelly Show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheJesseKellyShowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joseph Sternberg observes that the current election cycle lacks substantial policy agendas, as both major parties focus on political theater rather than governing. Congress has increasingly outsourced its legislative authority to the executive branch, leaving lawmakers to prioritize social media celebrity over constitutional responsibilities. This vacuum is filled by "influencer" politicians from both the MAGA and DSA factions who push extreme, non-consensus positions. Sternberg warns that this atrophy of the legislative process leaves critical national issues, such as Social Security reform and the mounting national debt, unaddressed until a fiscal crisis inevitably forces action.

TABLE OF CONTENTS, JOHN BATCHELOR SHOW, 8-11-2-26Mary Kissel discusses North Korea's transformation into a critical military supplier for Russia's war in Ukraine, providing ballistic missiles and thousands of combat troops. This collaboration integrates Pyongyang into an "axis of tyranny" alongside Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran to challenge the West and NATO. Kissel notes that the Kim regime's involvement stems from a desire for cash, a need to demonstrate missile capabilities, and a shared goal of weakening U.S.global influence. This development highlights the long-term failure of U.S. diplomacy to prevent North Korean nuclear proliferation and serves as a warning regarding Iran. (1)Jonathan Schanzer addresses the mysterious absence of Iran's Supreme Leader and the resulting tightening grip of the IRGC on the government. The regime is characterized as sclerotic, relying on aging hardliners with "blood on their hands" to maintain power. Meanwhile, the Houthis have escalated attacks in the Red Sea, targeting Saudi infrastructure and shipping ports like Mocha and Jazan. Schanzer argues this is a strategic move by Iran to shut down trade on both sides of the Arabian Peninsula, exploiting a lack of unity between competitive regional powers like Saudi Arabia and the UAE. (2)Liz Peek analyzes the surprisingly vigorous U.S. economy, where consumer spending and small business optimism remain high despite elevated oil prices and stagnant job growth. While the Fed weighs interest rate hikes to curb inflation, a "wealth effect" from the stock market continues to buoy the economy. Politically, Peek highlights a "civil war" within the Democratic Party, where "revolutionary" candidates aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are challenging the establishment in key swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin. These far-left candidates struggle with electability among moderate voters in general elections. (3)Joseph Sternberg observes that the current midterm cycle has become an "election about nothing," with both parties failing to articulate clear policy agendas. He argues that Congress has outsourced its constitutional authority to the executive branch and regulatory agencies, losing the habit of legislating. This vacuum is being filled by "celebrity influencers" from the MAGA and DSA factions who prioritize social media attention over governing. Consequently, critical issues like Social Security reform and fiscal reality are being ignored until an inevitable crisis forces congressional action. (4)Gregory Copley evaluates the new "Mecca Joint Defense Agreement" between Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan, which aims to counter Iranian influence despite mutual distrust among the members. The discussion also explores the massive transformation of global trade routes, including China's "Ice Silk Road" through the Arctic and Russia's International North-South Transport Corridor. Copley notes that these routes aim to bypass vulnerable maritime choke points like the Suez Canal and the Strait of Hormuz. Finally, he provides a report on King Charles III's summer activities and public engagements in Scotland. (5)Veronique de Rugy critiques the Trump administration's shift toward "socialism on the right," evidenced by the government taking ownership stakes in private companies like Intel. Often justified by national security, these interventions mirror European state-owned enterprise models that historically burden taxpayers and distort market competition. De Rugy argues that such moves make private companies hostage to government dictates, such as labor or diversity requirements. By adopting policies championed by far-left senators like Bernie Sanders, the administration risks damaging long-term economic efficiency and creating a "state enterprise" system similar to China's. (6)Ahmad Sharawi explains that Russia has secured its military foothold in Syria through a new memorandum of understanding with the Al-Shara government. Russia will maintain access to vital maritime and aerial bases for its operations in the Mediterranean and Africa, while Syria remains dependent on Russian grain and energy. Sharawi notes that the U.S. appears to be losing diplomatic leverage by removing sanctions without obtaining counterterrorism concessions or progress in neutralizing ISIS. The new Syrian administration is successfully playing major powers against each other to maintain domestic stability and maximize international benefits. (7)Samuel Ben-Ur and Bill Roggio discuss the "Board of Peace" plan for post-war Gaza, which proposes a civilian Palestinian government overseen by international forces. A significant impasse remains: Israel refuses to withdraw until Hamas is disarmed, while Hamas has endorsed the plan, likely hoping its allies—Turkey and Qatar—will oversee the verification process. The discussion reveals that Gaza's tunnel network is more extensive than previously believed, with only 40–50% cleared after years of war. One proposed solution to prevent Hamas from regrouping is filling the remaining tunnels with cement. (8)Thaddeus McCotter analyzes the Michigan Senate race between Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed, a Rhodes Scholar supported by the far-left DSA. El-Sayed's primary victory over the Democratic establishment highlights the growing influence of "woke" ideology in college towns. While El-Sayed attempts to pivot to the center for the general election, his lack of a public voting record makes his true agenda difficult to pin down. McCotter suggests the race will test whether voters will reject the "Jacobin" manifestations of cancel culture and extreme progressive policies in favor of a more traditional candidate.

UFOs, UAPs, Non-Human Contact & Zero-Point Energy: Dr. Steven Greer on Government Disclosure, Consciousness and the Truth About Extraterrestrial Intelligence Get ready to have your entire understanding of reality challenged. This episode reveals the science behind non-human intelligence contact, the physics of consciousness, and why the biggest secret in human history could rewrite everything you know about energy, medicine, and human potential. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Steven Greer, a retired emergency physician and founder of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence. For over 35 years, Dr. Greer has briefed CIA directors, Pentagon officials, and members of Congress on UFO disclosure, built an archive of more than 750 whistleblower testimonies, and pioneered the CE5 Contact protocol used to initiate peaceful contact with non-human craft. His firsthand experiences, government-level access, and decades of documented research make him one of the most credible voices in the disclosure movement. Dr. Greer and Dave dive into the science of consciousness as a nonlocal field, the zero-point energy technology he believes has been suppressed for 70 years, and how mastering this "hacking" of physics could eliminate scarcity, extend human longevity, and unlock forms of neuroplasticity and human performance most people have never considered. They explore near-death experiences, precognitive dreams, remote viewing, and the idea that a small percentage of people practicing deep meditative states can shift collective consciousness at scale. The conversation also touches on how corruption, fear, and disinformation have kept transformative technology out of public hands, and what it would take for humanity to responsibly manage a disclosure that changes everything. This is essential listening for anyone into biohacking, human performance, consciousness exploration, longevity, functional medicine, and understanding how the mind and unseen fields of energy shape human potential. You'll Learn: Why Dr. Greer believes the U.S. government has had access to anti-gravity and zero-point energy technology since the 1950s How consciousness functions as a nonlocal field and what that means for human potential and neuroplasticity The real story behind the Roswell crash and its connection to nuclear weapons testing How meditation and altered states may unlock remote viewing and precognitive ability Why Dr. Greer believes only 1% of a population practicing coherent consciousness can shift outcomes for the other 99% What it would take to responsibly disclose suppressed energy technology without global economic collapse How fear-based narratives and disinformation campaigns have shaped public perception of non-human contact Thank you to our sponsors! - Qualia | Go to qualialife.com/ASPREY for 50% off, and use code ASPREY for an additional 15% off. - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

It's News Day Tuesday on The Majority Report On today's program: The Donald Trump administration has issued an executive order calling for a reduction in the number of vaccines routinely recommended for children.

Regarding the alleged increase in autism, RFK, Jr. claims that something happened in the 1990s that changed our children. Daniel Nichanian, founder and editor-in-chief of Bolts magazine, joins the program for a preview of tonight's primary elections. Eleanor Davis-Diver, editorial intern and writer at The American Prospect, joins the program to discuss her piece: "Crpyto Democrats are Ghosting the Industry".

Episode 4202 │ August 10, 2026 Congress never approved a national camera network. Corporations built one anyway — county commission by county commission, one at a time. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS  Scott Kesterson maps the rapid expansion of Flock Safety's automatic license plate reader network — now over 113,000 cameras nationwide despite Congress never approving a national surveillance program — and exposes the mechanism that made it possible: companies offer counties the first year free, bypassing public hearings because sheriffs can approve donations without commission votes, then leverage near-zero churn once the poles are in the ground and the data lock-in is established, a $7.5 billion company built on the same renewal model as municipal fluoride contracts. Scott confirms that FBI preliminary 2025 data shows violent crime down 9.3%, murder down 18.1%, and property crime down 12.4%, even as 69% of survey respondents believe crime is rising nationally — a fear-driven perception gap that political incentive structures exploit, since a sheriff's career survives a privacy violation but rarely survives a preventable crime, and the episode traces the documented pattern of FBI entrapment cases like the Newburgh Four and a Portland bombing plot to warn what AI-scanned camera networks will do once they begin flagging repeated drive-bys as suspicious behavior with no discernment. The episode closes with a practical action plan: a free downloadable Citizens Field Guide under Bards FM's downloads section that walks any resident through auditing their county's ALPR data-sharing agreements, building the specific evidence needed to bring a real argument to a county commission for non-renewal. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED  How did a national surveillance network of over 113,000 automatic license plate readers get built when Congress never approved one — and why does the county-by-county corporate strategy, offering free first-year cameras that bypass public hearings, mirror the same model that made fluoride contracts nearly impossible to remove once installed? Why does crime perception run in the opposite direction of actual crime statistics — with FBI data showing violent crime down 9.3% and murder down 18.1% in 2025 while 69% of Americans believe crime is rising — and what does that gap reveal about how fear rather than data drives acceptance of surveillance technology? What does the documented pattern of FBI entrapment cases like the Newburgh Four and a Portland bombing plot reveal about what happens when AI-scanned camera networks start flagging repeated drive-bys as suspicious — and what specific action can any resident take right now to audit their county's camera data-sharing agreements?

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss the Trump political team reportedly telling Ohio Republicans to stop trying to force Max Miller out of his re-election bid, the Democratic Socialists of America having no ideas beyond slogans, Mamdani's rent adviser owing more than $108,000 in rent, and critical primaries being held today in three states.First, they shake their heads as Politico reports Trump's political advisers urged the Ohio GOP to stop pressuring Rep. Miller to drop out and resign from Congress because it won't work. Miller is facing numerous serious abuse allegations and the polls show he is likely to lose in November.Next, they highlight Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Co-Chair Megan Romer having no idea how much the DSA would tax the rich, how it would abolish prisons, end borders, or defund the police. Jim is amazed Romer is still doing interviews. Greg argues her evasive answers on taxes aren't much different from regular Democrats.Then, they get a kick out of news that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's rent adviser has not paid her own rent since 2021 and owes more than $108,000 in back rent. Jim and Greg discuss how this case seems to be another example of the left trying to demonize landlords.Finally, they offer a quick preview and predictions for key primaries today in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Carolina.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

Bill welcomes back American Enterprise Institute emeritus scholar Norm Ornstein to assess Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson, and President Trump. Ornstein calls this the worst Congress ever, citing little constructive legislation beyond a Reconciliation bill that delays major Medicaid cuts until after the midterms, lack of oversight, and a Senate that offers only “rubber-stamp” consent, including confirming Todd Blanche as Attorney General. He argues Johnson is effectively “speaker of Donald Trump” and criticizes Democratic leaders for failing to project a coherent daily message despite strong individual members. Ornstein and Press discuss Republican senators backing Blanche despite Trump's attacks, which Ornstein attributes to moral cowardice and a party functioning like a cult. They also cover Trump's mishandling of Lincoln Memorial's Reflecting Pool repairs, no-bid contracting and bogus vandalism prosecutions, legal battles over Trump's White House construction projects, and Rand Paul's McCarthy-like pursuit of Anthony Fauci.Today Bill highlights the work of The Constitutional Accountability Center.

It's no secret that voters are increasingly disgusted by today's extremist, right-wing Republican lawmakers. But less known is the fact that extremist GOP lawmakers are even more disgusted by you voters!They're so disgusted that a top legislative priority of Republican leaders in the White House, Congress, and state legislatures is to rig election rules, literally to rule-out issues and voters they don't like. For example, Republicans in Missouri (the “Show Me” State) showed us what they're made of by attempting to kill the people's right to amend their state's constitution. Missouri and 25 other states have long provided a citizen-led initiative process so the people can propose and pass their own laws, rather than always depending on politicians to “do what's right.” Yes – it's direct democracy!But the people (damn them!) have been passing things like providing health care for the poor and raising the minimum wage. So, “No-no!” screeched Republican leaders and corporate lobbyists, who otherwise control the entire state government. In a perversion of people power, they wrote a ballot initiative that, effectively, would leave direct democracy “dead” in Missouri.Clever, huh? Use the initiative process to kill the initiative process.But the people rallied, exposed the fraud, and in a massive turnout of voters in last week's elections 80 percent – 80 percent! – rejected the establishment's anti-democracy ploy.Missourians showed ‘em – but anti-democracy elites are now pushing direct-voter bans in 15 other states, including Arizona, Florida, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Utah.

Attorney General Andrea Campbell joining from 11-12 for Ask the AG.Rep. Stephen Lynch discusses his bid for re-election to represent the 8th district of MA in Congress.Thomas Dinsmore, who has been writing about the BSO's finances in relation to their decision not to renew Andris Nelsons' contract, joins us.

The Supreme Court is being presented with yet another momentous illegal migrants decision to make—is an illegal who can manage to drag out the deportation process long enough entitled by law to a bond hearing that will inevitably release him to disappear once again into the American interior, or is the government allowed to detain that illegal migrant for the duration of the deportation process regardless of how long the illegal delays that process?Key to all this: The detainee subject to deportation is entitled by law at any time to raise his hand and be released—he just must choose some place other than the United States has his place of release.  He is only detained so long as he is demanding the right to remain in the US. Currently there is a circuit split on this question, with some federal circuits siding with the Trump administration argument that ongoing detention is lawful under both statute and Constitutional due process law—and that, in any case, Congress has stripped the Article III courts of the jurisdiction to hear these deportation cases--and other federal circuits claiming that not only must the government offer a bond hearing, but that there must be an overwhelming burden of proof on the government to deny bond and release, such that it is inevitable that illegals detained will be set free into the American interior.Trump's senior advisor Steven Miller's “American First Legal” organization has just filed an excellent Amicus Brief supporting (naturally) the Trump administration's position, and I'll be covering that brief in today's show.Join me LIVE at Noon ET as I break it all down!Clarence Thomas x 9: Perfect SCOTUS Mugs! https://tinyurl.com/k778wj2kFor complete Medicare guidance, dial (617) 644-0093 to speak with my trusted partner, Chapter.All @TheBrancaShow mugs & MORE! https://tinyurl.com/k778wj2kJOIN OUR COMMUNITY!

ATF – N.D. Texas Strikes Down NFA Registration Requirements for Suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, AOWs Gun-rights groups are celebrating a federal ruling striking down NFA registration requirements for suppressors, SBRs, SBSs and AOWs. U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix (Northern District of Texas) ruled in *Jensen v. ATF* and *Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF* that NFA registration, application, approval, and enforcement provisions for suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and any other weapons (AOWs) exceed Congress's powers once the associated tax was effectively zeroed out. Multiple gun-rights organizations hailed the decision as a major Second Amendment victory and a step toward dismantling the National Firearms Act. A seven-day stay expires August 12, 2026, with appeals likely to the Fifth Circuit; parallel SAF-backed cases remain pending. The Gist: Scope (who/what states are affected): Nationwide implications for owners and manufacturers of suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs; ruling applies to enforcement of NFA registration requirements by ATF across the United States, though limited to the specific plaintiffs and likely to face immediate appeal. Impact: Decision holds that the NFA registration regime lacks constitutional basis without a tax, potentially invalidating core regulatory provisions; groups including FPC, GOA, and CCRKBA describe it as affirming the NFA's unconstitutionality and a historic win, with possible broader effect if upheld on appeal to the Fifth Circuit. – Bullet 3: Bottom Line: NFA registration and approval requirements for the listed items are struck down in this district-court ruling as exceeding congressional authority post-tax elimination; a short stay allows time for appeal, leaving the ultimate fate of the NFA provisions pending further litigation. Reviews Review: Alex W from California Review from Alex W Reviewing the cast as singers/bands. Shawn: Taylor Swift. Technically very good at what he does. But we hear so much of him that we all find ourselves wishing he would just go away once in a while. Nick: Nickelback. Honestly, we all thought he'd be dead by now. Nobody fully understands what keeps him going. But, somehow we all end up nodding along every time he comes on. Jeremy: Five Finger Death Punch. I really gotta explain this one? It's in the name. Savage: *insert random mumble rapper because I dont care enough to look one up* Nobody knows what he's saying. And wait, that's supposed to be music? Aaron: Kurt Cobain. Because, we can only hope. Review: Wes Sconsen from Wisconsin Blessings to all of you. Jeremy, go full stache. It's not creepy and you would make that shit look damn good. Sincerely, Wes Sconsen Review: Richard "Big Dick" Smoker from NJ Wrote by AI, with specific criteria by me. We Like Shooting is the podcast equivalent of discovering the group chat should've never been given microphones. Jeremy rocks a mustache that looks like it escaped a 1970s cop show and refuses to return to its natural habitat. Shawn somehow manages to host an entire podcast while carrying the weight of… well, let's just say gravity is doing him no favors. Nick has turned “I think I just trusted a fart” into a recurring personality trait. And Savage continues broadcasting from a state that seems determined to ban fun one regulation at a time. Despite all of that—or maybe because of it—the show is hilarious. You'll get firearms talk, gear reviews, industry news, and enough insults directed at each other to make you wonder why they're still friends. Nobody is safe, especially the hosts.

What if the SBA's $5 million hotel loan limit doesn't actually limit you to $5 million? At LendingCon, SBA Regional Administrator Tyler Teresa explained how hotel owners now use the 7(a) and 504 programs together for as much as $10 million in total financing. Congress never raised the $5 million limit. The SBA found another route. Then Tyler dropped another number every hotel buyer should hear: 15%. Under the 504 program, hotel buyers contribute 15% toward the deal. Tyler also took me through an $8 million hotel acquisition and showed exactly where the 7(a) and 504 pieces fit. I spend plenty of time talking with hotel owners about the struggle to find capital that makes deals pencil. This conversation gave me a financing strategy I didn't know about, and I suspect plenty of hotel owners don't know about it either. If hotel acquisitions factor into your plans, Tyler's explanation deserves five minutes of your attention. Want the weekly roundup of news, videos, and what you might've missed from #NoVacancyNews?

Six months into a stage-four pancreatic cancer diagnosis that gave him 90 days to live, Ben Sasse sits down with EconTalk's Russ Roberts for a conversation that refuses easy comfort. The former U.S. senator and University of Florida president is candid about his physical challenges but the heart of this exchange is elsewhere: what actually matters when time is short. Sasse reflects on faith and mortality, the "shattering of idols" like his own workaholism, and his pride in his marriage. Along the way he offers sharp diagnoses of Congress's abdication of responsibility, the crisis inside American universities, and a republic distracted by the "digital casino" in its pocket. Funny, unflinching, and deeply human, it closes with a meditation on raging against the dying of the light while walking with your head bowed.

Welcome back to The Majority Report On today's program: With each passing day the price of ending Trump's war on Iran gets higher and higher and Senator Chris Murphy says he is prepared to accept a terrible deal just to stop the bleeding from this failed effort.

In the Fun Half: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani says that Democrats of his ilk are not running from the party but attempting to return it to where it once was. The PBD podcast crew host former underwear model, Antonio Sabato, Jr., to partake in a collective meltdown over Abdul El-Sayed. Senator Tim Scott claims that attack ads ran against Abdul El-Sayed that use his full name are not rooted in islamophobia. Rep. AOC calls out the hypocrisy of the consultants demanding candidates condemn Hasan Piker being the same ones who called for candidates to do shows like Joe Rogan Experience.

Ro Khanna represents Silicon Valley in Congress, and he's spent the last few years building a case that the Democratic Party's future runs through places like Johnstown and Erie–in his home state of Pennsylvania–not just tech wealth. He calls it progressive capitalism, and he thinks it's the platform that beats both Donald Trump's economic nationalism and the socialism of the party's left flank. He joins Coleman Hughes to make his case, ahead of an expected decision on a 2028 presidential run. They start with why Khanna broke from his own party to defend the Hunter Biden laptop story, and whether he'd actually seek congressional approval for military action as president or repeat the pattern set by Democratic presidents before him. From there they get into his pitch for why Democrats should pick him over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and his case for targeted tariffs on steel and trucks instead of Trump's blanket approach. They end on his shift from calling himself a pro-Israel progressive to arguing that Israel's war in Gaza amounted to genocide. On Tuesday, August 18th, Coleman will be answering your questions in the Free Press Forum.

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they focus on AOC trying to giggle away the left's repressive and woke lurch since 2020, Abdul El-Sayed refusing to disavow Hasan Piker and dismissing Piker's comment that the U.S. deserved 9/11, Wisconsin Democrats frantically trying to defeat Francesca Hong in tomorrow's primary, and the passing of Dukes of Hazzard actor-turned-Georgia Rep Ben Jones.First, they fume as New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortes laughs and tries to chalk up the left's destructive demonization of police, white people, and anyone who didn't obey every jot and tittle of the Covid rules as some some crazy "Woke 1" phase the party went through. Jim says you can be sure the next level of wokeness will be far worse.Next, they shake their heads as El-Sayed refuses to distance himself from Hasan Piker and labels Piker's contention that we deserved 9/11 as dumb or out of context. Jim and Greg also consider how much this issue will hurt Piker and why these comments are not the same as most other issues.Then, they thoroughly enjoy the desperate attempt by Wisconsin Democrats to do whatever they can to stop Francesca Hong from being the party's nominee for governor. Jim suspects it won't work because the Dem electorate is more radical than even a few years ago. Greg says this is a problem of the Dems' own creation.Finally, they note the passing of former Georgia Rep. Ben Jones, who is best known as Cooter Davenport on The Dukes of Hazzard. Jim and Greg remember his brief time in Congress, his rivalry with Newt Gingrich, and the greatness of The Dukes of Hazzard.Please visit our great sponsors:AG1https://DrinkAG1.com/3ML Start your first AGI subscription order, and get a FREE AG1 Flavor Sampler and a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3 + K2 in your Welcome Kit.Noble Goldhttps://NobleGoldInvestments.com/3MLIf you want to see how physical gold and silver could fit into your portfolio, download Noble Gold Investments FREE Wealth Protection Kit.IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.

The Fauci diaries are public - 1,141 pages of them. He pled the Fifth 111 times. RFK Jr. torched CNN's pandemic narrative to Dana Bash's face. And they still want a pandemic amnesty... so today, we open the vault.Because I didn't start covering this last week. I have four years of tape.Inside the diaries: the fatality rate he kept private while telling Congress 3%. "I didn't close the schools" - under oath - while claiming credit behind the scenes. Six months of entries... just gone.

Pete Hegseth is on thin ice, and the reason should worry every American with a family member in uniform. U.S. commanders are reportedly picking and choosing which Iranian missiles to intercept and which to let fall. Our stockpiles of Tomahawks, ATACMS, and Patriots are draining. Ukraine's civilians are dying for lack of munitions. And the response from the White House is to hunt down leakers, blame subordinates, and ask Congress for another $67 billion — roughly $20 billion of it for weapons the administration should have planned for in the first place. This is what happens when leadership refuses to take responsibility and gets way ahead of its skis. At the same time, the Trump family is cashing in on Defense Department contracts while the commander in chief ramps up warfare around the world and pushes a $1.5 trillion defense number. It may not be illegal. It is deeply, deeply wrong — and it is exactly the kind of grift that unites independents, moderate Republicans, and anyone who still cares about basic ethics. Paul breaks down Elizabeth Warren's "gelatinous blobs" broadside at spineless Senate Republicans, the small cracks opening around Cornyn and Tillis, the widening MAGA civil war between Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie and the establishment, and where a wandering Tulsi Gabbard might land next. If you want to know where the off-ramps and pressure points are heading into 2026, this is the map. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Check the IVA overview of Washington State's primary this week.  -Millions of American veterans are being locked out of primary elections in the country they served.

With Congress heading deeper into the midterm election season, what remains unresolved? Wisconsin Republican Congressman Derrick Van Orden joins the Rundown to discuss the stalled Farm Bill and proposed reforms to the SNAP food assistance program. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, Van Orden also weighs in on recent food safety concerns and efforts to protect livestock from the New World screwworm, which he says is contributing to high beef prices. Plus, he discusses his reelection fight in Wisconsin's competitive 3rd Congressional District and the broader political landscape heading into the midterms. As America marks its 250th birthday, recent polling suggests national pride is shifting. A FOX News poll shows 53 percent of Americans are proud of the country, while Gallup reports national pride has dropped to an all-time low. Connor Boyack, president of the Libertas Institute and creator of the Tuttle Twins series, joins the Rundown to discuss what is driving the decline—and how education can reconnect young Americans with the nation's founding principles. PLUS, commentary by Tevi Troy, senior fellow at the Ronald Reagan Institute and a former senior White House aide. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
