Thursday, September 25th, 2025 - TX ICE shooting; Trump’s DOJ hit list; ABC-Kimmel drama; Epstein-Trump statue; “Aligator Alcatraz" detainees missing Sep 25, 2025

Show notes

Today’s Headlines: A gunman opened fire from a Dallas rooftop into an ICE detention center yesterday, killing one detainee, critically injuring two others, and then taking his own life. The FBI says they found a bullet at the scene marked “ANTI-ICE,” and are investigating the shooting as targeted ideological violence. Meanwhile, Trump’s Justice Department is reportedly teeing up criminal charges against former FBI director James Comey (for allegedly lying to Congress in 2020) and pushing a shaky mortgage fraud case against New York AG Letitia James—after swapping out the U.S. attorney who refused to pursue it. Over in late-night drama, Jimmy Kimmel pulled 6 million viewers for his defiant return, which sent Trump into an all-caps meltdown online threatening ABC. FCC chair Brendan Carr, who helped push Kimmel’s initial suspension, says he’s not stopping there—hinting at targeting The View and even SNL next. Also, two GOP reps are pushing to mint $400,000 coins featuring Charlie Kirk’s face (yes, real currency). On the Hill, Democrats flipped Raul Grijalva’s Arizona seat with his daughter Adelita, giving them 218 votes—just enough to force a floor vote on releasing the Epstein files. That news came as an anonymous golden statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands briefly appeared on the National Mall before being quietly removed. And in Florida, records suggest that more than 1,200 men detained at the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” ICE camp this summer have since gone missing from government databases, with officials giving only vague “call ICE” notes as explanations.

Wednesday, September 24th, 2025 - Sinclair-Nexstar block Kimmel; Trump’s UN circus; Secret Service bust; UK rejects Tylenol claim; Dashcam hack Sep 24, 2025

Show notes

Today’s Headlines: Jimmy Kimmel may be back on ABC’s late-night lineup, but viewers in markets like Salt Lake City, Nashville, and New Orleans didn’t get the show—thanks to Nexstar and Sinclair, which own nearly 70 ABC affiliates and refused to air it. Meanwhile, the UN General Assembly in Manhattan is serving drama: Trump told NATO to shoot down Russian aircraft, promised Ukraine could reclaim all its lost territory, and in a glitchy, rambling speech claimed he ended seven wars, trashed climate science, and basically asked for a Nobel Prize before bailing on diplomats. He also canceled a budget meeting with Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. The Secret Service, on the other hand, actually did something: it dismantled a huge illegal telecom network in NYC that had the capacity to send 30 million texts per minute, potentially crashing cell service citywide. Across the pond, the UK is telling people to ignore Trump’s Tylenol-autism warnings, with the health secretary quipping he trusts doctors over Trump. Also in court news, Ryan Routh—the man who tried to assassinate Trump on his golf course last year—was found guilty on all charges and tried to stab himself in the neck after the verdict (unsuccessfully). Finally, a hacker broke into Nexar, a dashcam data company, exposing footage of everyday drivers—including one on the way to CIA HQ—and revealing its client list of government agencies buying that data.

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025 - Kimmel’s back; Trump’s Tylenol-autism link; Border czar bribe; FBI’s anti-trans play; Palestine recognized & more Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

Today’s Headlines: Jimmy Kimmel is back in his late-night slot after Disney admitted last week’s pull was over “ill-timed” jokes—but let’s be real, the Hulu/Disney+/ESPN subscriber drop probably didn’t help. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is floating Tylenol in pregnancy as a cause of autism (despite zero credible evidence) and RFK’s FDA is eyeing vitamin B9 treatments. Trump’s border czar Tom Homan was reportedly caught on tape taking a $50K bribe from undercover FBI agents—an investigation quietly shelved once Trump returned to office. At the FBI, a new plan could brand transgender people as “nihilistic violent extremists,” a threat category so broad it risks sweeping up activists and allies. The Department of Education teamed with Turning Point and Moms for Liberty for a “patriotic civics” initiative ahead of America’s 250th. Abroad, the UK, Canada, and Australia recognized Palestine as a state ahead of the UN General Assembly, while Hamas may propose a ceasefire-for-hostages deal to Trump. On the tech front, the DOJ is trying (again) to break up Google over ad dominance, Amazon faces a jury trial for making Prime too hard to cancel, and Nvidia just dropped $100 billion into OpenAI for mega data centers.

Monday, September 22nd, 2025 - Russian flyovers; Trump NYT suit axed; EU cyber attack; Kirk memorial & more Sep 22, 2025

Show notes

Today’s Headlines: Estonia invoked NATO’s Article 4 after three Russian fighter jets spent 12 minutes in its airspace, just as reports surfaced that the U.S. may cut back security aid to the Baltics. Meanwhile, the Pentagon dropped a bombshell—new restrictions requiring reporters to avoid publishing even unclassified info without authorization and Europe reeled from a cyberattack that disrupted major airports. In Arizona, Charlie Kirk’s memorial drew MAGA’s heavy hitters while Oklahoma lawmakers proposed mandatory “Charlie Kirk Memorial Plazas” at state universities, complete with statues.In Trump legal news—his defamation suit against the New York Times was tossed, and a Virginia U.S. attorney resigned after refusing Trump’s pressure to charge Letitia James. Additionally, Trump kept the pressure on AG Pam Bondi in since-deleted posts. Public health took a turn with RFK Jr.’s CDC panel voting to split up certain childhood vaccines, prompting seven Northeast states to launch their own health alliance. The administration also sparked chaos with a sudden $100K H-1B visa fee—initially confusing enough that tech giants scrambled to get employees back before clarifications rolled in. ICE clashes also escalated these last few days with 11 New York lawmakers arrested while demanding access to detainee cells, and Chicago protests turned violent. And finally, Social Security’s commissioner floated raising the retirement age—before quickly backtracking on Twitter.

Friday, September 19th, 2025 - Trump targets “Antifa”; Operation Overlord; Kimmel vs. Sinclair; Khalil to be deported; Limewire buys Fyre Fest & more Sep 19, 2025

Show notes

Today’s Headlines: Trump, posting from London, declared “Antifa” a terrorist organization—even though it’s not an actual organization—while mulling racketeering charges with AG Pam Bondi against unnamed left-wing groups. Meanwhile, watchdogs say Russia’s “Operation Overlord” is pumping out fake news, memes, and even Pedro Pascal quotes to stir division after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The Pentagon, for its part, is eyeing machine learning-driven propaganda tools abroad, and even floating a recruitment campaign using Turning Point USA offices “in Kirk’s honor.” Speaking of deals, the New York Times dropped a bombshell linking Trump’s family cryptofirm World Liberty Financial to a $2B investment from the UAE, followed suspiciously by U.S. approval to send Emiratis advanced AI chips—despite intel concerns they’ll land in China. In other news, House Oversight launched an investigation into ABC, Disney, and Sinclair over Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension after FCC threats. Sinclair called the punishment “not enough” and demanded Kimmel apologize and cut a check to Turning Point USA. The same committee also summoned the CEOs of Discord, Reddit, Twitch, and Steam to testify on platform radicalization October 8. On the Turning Point front, Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika Kirk has been unanimously elected as the org’s new CEO. On immigration, a judge ordered Columbia grad Mahmoud Khalil to be deported to Syria or Algeria, citing omissions on his green card application—including past political affiliations—though supporters say it’s punishment for his activism against the Gaza war. And to end this crazy week, Limewire (yes, Limewire) bought the Fyre Festival brand on eBay for $245K and says it’s planning “real world experiences.”

Thursday, September 18th, 2025 - ABC pulls Kimmel; DOJ hides facts; Fed rate cuts; Trump whitewashes history & more Sep 18, 2025

Show notes

Today’s Headlines: ABC yanked Jimmy Kimmel Live off the air “indefinitely” after Kimmel joked in his monologue about conservatives spinning the Charlie Kirk shooting, with the FCC chair threatening action against Disney and ABC. Meanwhile, the DOJ quietly pulled a study from its site showing far-right violence vastly outpaces left-wing or Islamist extremism—though archived versions and even a Cato Institute report back that up. On Capitol Hill, FBI Director Kash Patel’s second day of testimony was another loud but empty circus, while former CDC Director Susan Monarez dropped bigger bombshells: RFK Jr allegedly pressured her daily to change the vaccine schedule, demanded pre-approval of advisory panel recs, and called CDC staff “child killers.” She says she was fired for defending science; meanwhile, the CDC just announced it will ban remote work for employees with health conditions. The Fed cut rates by a quarter point and hinted at two more cuts this year as inflation lingers but jobs weaken. The Trump admin ordered the National Park Service to remove references to slavery and Native American history in the name of “patriotism,” because nothing says history like a good whitewash. In the UK, police arrested four members of Led By Donkeys for projecting Epstein/Trump/Prince Andrew images onto Windsor Castle during Trump’s state visit. And finally, Jerry Greenfield of Ben & Jerry’s is walking away after 47 years, accusing Unilever of muzzling the brand on social issues—especially Gaza.

Wednesday, September 17th, 2025 - Trump in UK, NYT lawsuit; Patel grilled; Kirk & Mangione updates; MO gerrymander & more Sep 17, 2025

Show notes

Today’s Headlines: Trump touched down in the UK for a rare second state visit, where King Charles is rolling out the red carpet even as protesters projected images of Epstein, Trump, and Prince Andrew onto Windsor Castle. Back home, Trump sued The New York Times for $15 million, claiming their endorsement of Kamala Harris in 2024 was an election hit job. Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel got grilled in the Senate over Epstein, Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and political meddling—he also bizarrely claimed Epstein only trafficked for himself. In Utah, the man accused of killing Kirk was charged with seven counts, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty. In New York, a judge tossed terrorism charges against the man who killed UnitedHealthcare’s CEO but kept a murder charge intact. In darker news, Mississippi mourned the death of 21-year-old Trey Reed, whose body was found hanging on campus, while Missouri Republicans pushed through a new congressional map that wipes out a Democratic seat, part of a broader GOP redistricting wave. Elsewhere, a court ruled Fed Governor Lisa Cook can’t be fired by Trump despite his attempts, and all eyes are on the Fed board’s rate decision today. TikTok’s U.S. takeover deal is nearly done, with Oracle, Andreessen Horowitz, and Silver Lake set to take an 80% stake and rebrand the app under a new U.S.-based entity. And finally, the Emmys had their best ratings in years, pulling 7.4 million viewers.

Tuesday, September 16th, 2025 - Kirk shooter updates; Vance hosts Kirk’s show; US-China (concepts of a) TikTok deal; NY Gov. endorses Mamdani Sep 16, 2025

Show notes

Today’s Headlines: Utah Gov. Spencer Cox says accused shooter Tyler Robinson isn’t cooperating, but the Washington Post found Discord messages where Robinson admitted to the shooting hours before his arrest. FBI Director Kash Patel revealed Robinson had also suggested his plans in texts and a now-destroyed note. Investigators describe him as politically radicalized against Kirk, though he has no criminal record and was still in trade school. Meanwhile, VP JD Vance guest-hosted The Charlie Kirk Show from his White House office, joined by Tucker Carlson, Stephen Miller, and others. Miller went full scorched-earth, calling left-wing groups a “domestic terrorist movement” that the government would dismantle “in Charlie’s name.” In other news, Trump wants companies to ditch quarterly earnings reports, the U.S. and China reached a tentative TikTok sale deal ahead of tomorrow’s deadline, and the Trump administration plans to destroy $10M worth of contraceptives intended for low-income countries despite global offers to take them. Trump also bragged about another strike on a Venezuelan “drug boat,” Israel launched a new ground offensive into Gaza with Rubio nodding along, and NY Gov. Kathy Hochul endorsed Zohran Mamdani over Andrew Cuomo.

Monday, September 15th, 2025 - Kirk suspect caught; Trump eyes Memphis; Bolsonaro amnesty; London far-right chaos; Nepal’s Discord coup; Albania’s AI Minister Sep 15, 2025

Show notes

Today’s Headlines: The manhunt in Utah is over — 22-year-old Tyler Robinson confessed to killing Charlie Kirk after admitting it to his father and minister, who turned him in. Investigators haven’t nailed down a motive, though his transgender roommate (and alleged former partner) told police Robinson thought Kirk’s anti-trans rhetoric was hateful. That roommate has been cooperating, handing over texts that led police to the hidden rifle. Formal charges are expected tomorrow. Meanwhile, Congress is debating everything from Kirk lying in state at the Capitol to criminalizing jokes about his death, while FBI Director Kash Patel made headlines for tweeting bad info about the case… from a prime table at Rao’s. Elsewhere: Maryland and Michigan officials got bomb threats (one credible, since cleared), Trump backed off sending the National Guard to Chicago but is pushing troops into Memphis, and Fox host Brian Kilmeade apologized for suggesting homeless people be killed by lethal injection. In Brazil, lawmakers are floating amnesty for ex-president Bolsonaro after his coup conviction — a move drawing sharp rebukes from Brazil and open threats from Trump and Marco Rubio. Trump also tried tying new Russia sanctions to NATO-wide tariffs on China. Across the pond, over 100,000 people joined a far-right rally in London, complete with Elon Musk ranting about wokeness, while Nepal’s revolutionaries literally elected a new prime minister on Discord. Not to be left out, Albania’s Prime MInister just appointed an AI “minister” named Diella to fight corruption as part of its EU membership bid.

Friday, September 12th, 2025 - Manhunt for Kirk shooter; DNC bomb threat; Epstein emails; UK envoy sacked; Grocery prices spike; Bolsonaro gets 27 yrs Sep 12, 2025

Show notes

Today’s Headlines: The FBI is in Utah chasing down leads in the Charlie Kirk assassination, releasing video of the suspected gunman’s escape and offering $100K for tips. Meanwhile, Trump plans to award Kirk the Medal of Freedom, VP JD Vance escorted his casket, and MAGA lawmakers are pushing for a Capitol statue. Security scares piled on, too—Capitol Police cleared a bomb threat at DNC HQ and multiple HBCUs went into lockdown after threats, all later deemed not credible. Bloomberg dropped 18,000 Epstein emails showing his tight post-conviction ties with Ghislaine Maxwell, plus a spreadsheet of $1.8M in gifts and payments. Across the pond, Britain’s ambassador to the U.S. got fired after Epstein’s “birthday book” and emails revealed his buddy-buddy relationship with the disgraced financier. On the economy, grocery inflation hit the highest since 2022—coffee up 20%, beef up 16%, even bananas pricier—thanks in part to tariffs. And abroad, Brazil’s ex-president Jair Bolsonaro was convicted of plotting a coup, including assassinations of Lula da Silva and others, and sentenced to 27 years. Unsurprisingly, he’s crying “witch hunt” as his supporters riot.
