Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are back with a LIVE episode of State of the Union! We start where else but with Lionel Messi's first ever World Cup hat trick in Argentina's win over Algeria. With his three goals he moved into a tie with Miroslav Klose for the most goals in men's FIFA world cup history.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard declassified records of US government funding for more than 120 biolabs across over 30 countries, including more than 40 in Ukraine handling dangerous pathogens like anthrax, plague, and Ebola – facts the media spent years dismissing as conspiracy theories. In 2022, USA Today called the US-funded Ukraine bioweapon lab claims “false,” CBC labeled them a “QAnon conspiracy theory” and NBC News framed the story as “misinformation” that US officials “vehemently denied” — the same labs Gabbard's office now says were real all along. Dr. Drew is joined by Emmy-winning producer and author Rob Rosen to examine why what gets left out of the news can distort the truth as much as what gets said. Rosen, author of “Crimes of Omission,” argues that media bias is driven less by what reporters say than by what they choose to omit. He and Dr. Drew tie the Gabbard disclosures to Senator Rand Paul's committee findings on US funding tied to SARS-CoV-2 research and Senator Ron Johnson's work on what health agencies knew about vaccine safety signals, and asks why almost none of it reaches the evening news. Political theorist Dr. Ralph Schoellhammer of the Mathias Corvinus Collegium in Budapest breaks down the unrest in Belfast, the fight over flags during the World Cup, and the deepening fractures inside Europe over migration policy. 2023 CNN Hero Yasmine Arrington Brooks discusses her nonprofit work supporting the children of incarcerated parents. Rob Rosen is an Emmy-winning producer, director, and author. He created and directed the limited series ‘The Infomercials That Sold Us' starring Dennis Miller, as well as the true-crime series ‘Reasonable Doubt'. He is the author of “Crimes of Omission: Distorted Justice: The Media's War on Truth.” Follow at https://x.com/RobRosen14⠀Dr. Ralph Schoellhammer is the Head of the Center for Applied History and International Relations Theory at the Mathias Corvinus Collegium in Budapest. His research focuses on political theory and international relations, with emphasis on how culture, values, and ideologies influence state behavior.

B-52 Bomber Crashes In California. Trump At NYC Parade? Knicks At White House? Primaries Tues In Alabama, Dc, Georgia And Oklahoma. NYPD Rise To The Moment. Independents have hit 47% of the country. Republicans are at 26%. Democrats at 27%. That's not a trend line — that's a tectonic shift, and the new CNN poll out today confirms what this show has been saying for years: the angry middle isn't homeless, it isn't tribeless, it's free. Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the numbers, what they mean for the 2026 midterms, and why younger voters, male voters, and white voters without college degrees are walking away from the GOP — and not running to the Democrats. From there, it's a full no-BS briefing. Iran has de facto control over the Strait of Hormuz and Trump is negotiating what looks like a surrender. Eight crew members are dead after a B-52 crash at Edwards Air Force Base — a story buried under the noise. Closed primaries on Tuesday continue to disenfranchise nearly half the electorate. The NYPD is rising to meet a wild week of Knicks, World Cup, and parade security. And the big question hangs over Thursday: will Trump show up and shit on New York's joy, or stay in his tower? It's a sanctuary in a chaotic week — and a reminder that you're not alone in the angry middle. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Visit Kalshi and trade on anything.

After all the talk, all the promises, all the changes and all the hype.... we finally get a World Cup match at Arrowhead in KC. Let's forget all the other stuff and just celebrate high level sports competition that really, really matters to billions of people around the world. Texas Tech got hit from all sides Monday as the Big 12 filed a lawsuit to make their gambling quarterback ineligible, Kansas AG Kris Kobach fired off a letter and case precedent to the Texas AG and Tech's own coach put his foot in his mouth. So it finally happened... we got a Texas Tech Fold 'Em. Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is free and we're hoping 30 days behind bars gives him a new attitude for how to live his life. A massive terror ring was plotting a huge operation for UFC 250 at the White House Sunday night and it sounds like this group of folks really doesn't like Jews very much. A local radio host steps away, again, to seek treatment for addiction. Scott Parks says he hasn't been honest on radio and I have some thoughts on how free he will feel if he comes clean. And restaurants around KC are adding fees to your bill for the World Cup so be careful and one iconic joint is changing the way it operates for the next month. Ugh.
