Ep. 622 - Somali Temporary Protected Status END...
A federal judge's repeated stays blocking the end of Temporary Protected Status for Somalis finally ran out today, clearing the way for termination after months of what DHS called open defiance of the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Luigi Mangione stood up in federal court and admitted it himself: "I shot Mr. Thompson in Manhattan, and he died" — a guilty plea that guts a year of online conspiracy theories and folk-hero mythmaking overnight. And Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is having the worst 48 hours of his campaign.

Ep. 620 - Karoline Leavitt OUT, Major DOJ Fraud...
Karoline Leavitt just announced she's stepping down as White House Press Secretary at month's end, a genuine shakeup less than three months from the midterms. Meanwhile, Attorney General Todd Blanche had a monster day at the DOJ — arresting the former SPLC CFO on fraud charges and busting one of the largest marriage fraud rings in U.S. history. And after last night's primaries thinned the socialist herd in Wisconsin and Minnesota, the survivors are already making their case for dumbest person in the Senate.

Ep. 619 - Media Outrage Over Assassination Atte...
Primary night is here in Minnesota and Wisconsin, with democratic socialists once again threatening to hijack the Democratic Party — and the GOP dealing with its own headaches. Meanwhile, the Washington Post just revealed President Trump secretly swapped planes in Turkey last month after intelligence uncovered a credible Iranian plot to shoot down Air Force One — and somehow the legacy media's outrage is aimed at the deception, not the attempted assassination.

Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul just released Anthony Fauci's own texts from January 2021 — and they show him privately warning colleagues the mRNA injection's second dose "theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the first trimester," while he and other officials kept telling pregnant women the shots were perfectly safe. Meanwhile, the online left's favorite rich socialists are getting torched for demanding everyone else pay more taxes while sitting on millions themselves.

Ep. 617 - Senators REFUSING to Leave for Recess...
Senate Republicans are in open revolt against their own majority leader today, as Mike Lee and a growing bloc refuse to let John Thune send the chamber home for August recess without a vote on the SAVE America Act. Meanwhile, the socialist takeover of the Democratic Party just turned cannibalistic — AOC is catching heat from her own movement for propping up Hakeem Jeffries, and Abdul El-Sayed spent the night before his primary win poolside with Hasan Piker, a man who just got caught defending Mao Zedong on camera.

Ep. 616 - Is Cuba About to Collapse? Saudis Mob...
Secretary Rubio just slapped fresh sanctions on Cuba's military supply chain, warning the regime is "in ruins" — is the communist government finally on its last legs? Meanwhile Saudi Arabia is bracing for renewed conflict as the reality sets in that the Gulf states can't stay on the sidelines of the Iran war forever. And in Washington, Anthony Fauci just got hit with a bipartisan-adjacent gut punch: the Senate Homeland Security Committee voted him in contempt of Congress, and Chairman Rand Paul is skipping the floor vote entirely to hand-deliver the referral straight to the DOJ today.

Abdul El-Sayed squeaked out a win in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary by roughly 15,000 votes out of 1.5 million cast — a one-point margin that Republicans are already calling the best possible outcome heading into November. But it wasn't a clean night for the socialist wave: Shri Thanedar and Cori Bush both went down, the latter in a landslide. Meanwhile, both parties are already measuring the drapes for a midterm win that's nowhere near decided.

The Democratic Party's civil war just went nuclear. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders broke publicly with Chuck Schumer today, throwing their weight behind socialist Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan's Senate primary — one of five primaries we're watching live tonight. Meanwhile, Senate Republicans are having their own meltdown, as Sen. John Curtis rolls out a bill with Democrat Mark Kelly that critics are calling straight-up amnesty, and Majority Leader John Thune keeps insulting his own conference over the stalled SAVE America Act.
