After, Alexi and Mosse react to comments from USA manager Mauricio Pochettino about the state of American soccer before previewing the next slate of matches that will see Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal make their tournament debut alongside Harry Kane and England.

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.

More than a million people are coming to America this summer for this year's World Cup soccer matches. It's “sports tourism.” At The DrillDown, however, host Peter Schweizer is more interested in stopping what he has called “birth tourism.” “The Trump administration announced actions against networks in Africa that were designed to provide birth tourism,” Schweizer says. “This is where foreign women, wives or girlfriends of people in these countries are sneaking into the United States to give birth so their child will be born a US citizen. We have exposed this as it relates to China, Russia, Turkey, and other countries. but this is a positive development – exciting news.”

Jeff Mans is in a World Cup state of mind this week as he wrestles with the idea of watching soccer while also being incredibly bored and distracted at the same time. So, he invented his own game inspired by the World Cup, in which he pits every wide receiver in the NFL against one another in a steel cage-like tournament decided by a simple math formula of his own creation. First, he finds the WRs on each team that he has the most interest in based on their current market price, then he puts them into a bracket sorted alphabetically by NFL team name. Mans rolls through each matchup explaining what he likes and dislikes about each player and whittles the field down to the final four, the championship matchup, and finally the lone victor of the 2026 World Cup of Wide Receivers. Jeff also hits on NFL news, the Knicks winning the NBA Finals, the Carolina Hurricanes winning the Stanley Cup, and the future of his SXM radio show.

The World Cup is delivering, and not just on the pitch. This week we start with a genuine feel-good moment: cross-cultural chaos and connection across North America, from Cape Verde stunning Spain in Atlanta to a German tourist discovering Helen, GA and a Japanese visitor writing a love letter to free chips and salsa. Sometimes the world is actually kind of great. Then we get into it. AI is officially the number one reason people are losing their jobs in 2026. We dig into the 2026 International AI Safety Report, which finds that AI is impressive in some areas and genuinely concerning in others. These tools might be making us worse at the very things we're supposed to be getting better at.
