We’ve got Immigration agents arresting American citizens in ICE raids, and the East Wing of the White House is being torn apart to make room for a $200 million ballroom.

Plus, the House Oversight committee subpoenas the Clintons (because of course), the “father of IVF” turns out to be just another deadbeat dad, Nebraskans put the pressure on Mike Flood, the head of Bureau of Labor Statistics is fired for doing a good job, and Trump destroys satellites for climate change.

This week Amy is joined by Valor Media’s Ken Harbaugh as they take an UNFILTERED look at who’s not talking about Jeffery Epstein – how bad must it be for Donald Trump that the House Republicans would rather flee Washington D.C. than take another vote on releasing the Epstein files?
Then, it’s a golden age of losing! GM reports $1.1 billion in losses thanks to the Trump tariffs while Trump himself loses support from his most stalwart fans – men!
Also, the “big beautiful bill” reveals itself to be a big bold betrayal as energy costs are poised to spike in many red states.
Plus, Pete Hegseth removes another high-ranking woman, Republicans are suddenly institutionalists, and FEMA punishes a small town in North Carolina.
This is TRUTH IN THE BARREL – a different kind of whiskey rebellion.

This Week Unfiltered |
Today we’re taking an UNFILTERED look at the conflict between Israel and Iran – can our self proclaimed “anti-war” president deal with this new international crisis while keeping his promise to put America first? Then, in the wake of shocking political violence and international turmoil, disinformation is once again on the rise and this time it’s coming directly from the halls of the Senate. Also, the Trump administration flip flops on its own immigration policy. Plus, the “big beautiful bill” just got uglier, resignations rock scholarly institutions, and apparently, we’re all supposed to be thankful for new flagpoles.

Today we’re taking an UNFILTERED look at the damage President Trump’s tariffs are doing to U.S manufacturers – can the administration spin the loss of8,000 manufacturing jobs in just one month as a victory for the American worker? Then it’s indictment time! Seeing as how Trump forcibly impedes and interferes with federal law enforcement every day, it must’ve been shocking for Congresswoman LaMonica McIver to learn that she’s the one being indicted. Does her NOT being a white male maybe have something to do with it? Also, Trump once again proves that he’s not the “sharpest bulb” by delivering a divisive campaign speech to a military audience. Why aren’t we hearing any pushback from senior leadership in the military? Plus, the Chinese military is practicing blockades of Taiwan while RFK Jr. is firing vaccine experts and abandoning patients.

THIS WEEK UNFILTERED
Today we’re hoping the safety bars are secure as we take
an UNFILTERED ride on the tariff rollercoaster – can someone
please pump the brakes on Trump’s economic madness?
Also, we set sail on the U.S.S. Fragile Masculinity with Pete
Hegseth – just why does the name Harvey Milk make him so angry?
Then Putin threatens Ukraine with nuclear war. Is this just
more bluster or are we seeing an escalation in the war?
Plus, want a job in the federal government? Then be ready to
write an essay about how awesome Trump is. Women’s healthcare
is once again in the crosshairs. And Joni Ernst would like to
remind everyone that “we’re all gonna die”

Truth in the Barrel Unfiltered Episode: April 6, 2025
Welcome to Truth in the Barrel unfiltered! Each week hosts Amy McGrath and Denver Riggleman select stories from the news to shine a spotlight on and discuss with wisdom, wit, (and a bit of whiskey).
On this week’s episode Amy and Denver talk about the Right’s animosity toward due process, especially when it comes to deportations, the continued fallout from SignalGate, the insanity of Laura Loomer which can only be outdone by the insanity of taking advice from Laura Loomer, Texas Congressman Keith Self’s attempt to make Joseph Goebbels great again, and the pain that will come from President Trump’s wildly unpopular new tariffs.
But here at Truth in the Barrel we know it can’t be all doom and gloom, so the episode ends with Amy and Denver saying cheers to some of the small victories of the week.
01:44 Due Process 08:58 Andry Hernandez 14:36 Signalgate 23:15 Laura Loomer 29:30 Paging Mr. Goebbels 36:10 Why Tariffs Are Gonna Hurt 40:33 Cheers To Small Victories
