Back in February, Attorney General Pam Bondi said the list of Jefferey Epstein’s clients was on her desk waiting for her to review. Now, she says there is no client list. So, which is it? All of a sudden, it’s case closed and nothing to see here? It’s so nonsensical, that even the MAGA faithful are suspicious and Elon Musk is gleefully commenting on the farfetched nature of the disappearing client list his as his feud with Trump continues. Investigative Journalist Greg Palast joins us to talk about

Frustrated with Trump over the so called "Big Beautiful Bill" raising America's debt, Elon Musk says he is starting his own political party called the "America Party." He says it will bring true freedom to Americans. Trump's response? He's calling Musk a train wreck who has gone off the rails. Trump took to social media to write, "The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS, and we have enough of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who

Paramount, which owns CBS, will pay 16-million dollars to settle a lawsuit brought by Trump over the editing done to a 60 minutes interview with his then rival Kamala Harris. The interview aired on CBS’ 60 Minutes before the 2024 election. CBS was not doing anything differently than usual, and they were not changing the tone and meaning of the interview. However, in this era of Trump threats, fear, and pressure, Paramount caved. The money will go toward Trump’s presidential library and though na

It's been an all-nighter for Senators in their so called vote-a-rama - voting on amendments to Trump's not so "Big Beautiful" domestic policy bill. Republicans hope to pass the legislation by the end of the week, but there are some hold outs. The pressure on GOP lawmakers raising issues with parts of the bill is intense. Already, Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, announced his retirement and told his colleagues they are about to “make a mistake on health care"...and they will

It doesn’t matter if Trump‘s so called “Big Beautiful Bill” will cost your state and constituents considerably, if you’re a Republican and you don’t vote the way Trump wants you to, you’re in big trouble. White House officials increased pressure on Republicans to support the measure, saying that failure to do so by Independence Day “would be the ultimate betrayal.” That’s an official policy statement.

SCOTUS’s Birthright Bombshell: Separate & Unequal ...

2025/06/27

The Supreme Court’s new ruling on birthright citizenship is even worse than feared. By refusing to strike down Donald Trump’s unconstitutional executive order outright, and instead gutting nationwide injunctions, SCOTUS has effectively handed the president the power to override the Constitution — and blocked the courts from universally stopping him. We break down exactly how this decision paves the way for two Americas: one where constitutional rights are upheld, and one where they are ignored

Attorney General Pam Bondi is claiming she's never heard reports of ICE agents covering their faces with masks during the round ups and arrests of undocumented people. At a hearing yesterday, the issue was raised by Michigan Senator Gary Peters and Bondi denied knowing about the masks but said of the agents: “I do know they are being doxxed … they’re being threatened,” and “Their families are being threatened.” We welcome former federal prosecutor David Katz to the show to discuss this and more

Despite all the peacocking from Trump and Vance claiming they "obliterated" Iran's nuclear program by dropping a trio of bombs, it appears the damage only derailed the program for a couple months, according to intelligence reports. Never one to let facts get in the way of a good social media post, Trump bragged about being nominated for a Nobel Peace Price and then put up a music video with a parody of the Beach Boys song "Barbara Ann" with the words "Bomb Iran" instead playing over a video of B-2

Though Trump took to social media yesterday touting a “complete and total ceasefire” between Israel and Iran, both countries say nothing is official. Iran’s foreign minister says there is no ‘agreement’ on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations,” but as long as Israel stops “illegal aggression,” Iran has no intention to continue responding. Trump is calling the conflict the “12 Day War” and saying his decision to work with Israel on bombing Iran while still entertaining diplomacy has

Iran is promising the U.S. that a response is on the way after Trump and team dropped three bombs on Iran’s nuclear sites. Trump claims the move called “Operation. Midnight Hammer” was successful and that damage obliterated the underground areas of the targeted sites. Whether that’s really the case is still being evaluated by the military. Meanwhile, Trump is contradicting his Vice President and Secretary of State who both deny the U.S. is after a regime change in Iran. Trump took to social media

The struggle for control of California’s National Guard is playing out in the courts. Yesterday, a federal judge ruled the Trump administration illegally federalized California’s National Guardsmen and women and ordered command returned to Governor Gavin Newsom by noon today. The Trump administration filed an appeal and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court temporarily blocked that order. Trump retains control of California’s troops until at least Tuesday, June 17th, when the appeals court will hold a hearing

The Trump administration is preparing to hold as many as 9000 undocumented immigrants at Gitmo as it is running out of space inside the U.S. Mass arrests are underway in Los Angeles, as a curfew goes into place in an attempt to keep people from protesting in the downtown area.

Though Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have both called for Trump not to use the California National Guard, some of 4000 guardsmen have also been activated. In order for members of the military to make arrests, Trump would need to invoke the Insurrection Act. So far, the military members may be an intimidating show of force against
