BREAKING: TRUMP RULES PROTECTED THE CORNELL 7 Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

Cornell says it investigated the seven accused fraternity members under the same Trump-era Title IX framework that the administration has now formally restored nationwide, a system that gives ACCUSED students significant procedural protections like access to evidence, live hearings, advisers and cross-examination. As outrage grows over whether Cornell did enough — including a disputed claim that some of the men were allowed to submit essays as part of the disciplinary process — we break down what happened, how Cornell handled the case, why prosecutors have reopened the criminal investigation, and how Trump’s Title IX rules shaped the university process.

Bombshell New Texts in the Cornell 7 Case: Was There a Cover-Up? Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

Bombshell new texts just dropped in the Cornell 7 case—and somehow this story is getting even crazier. Mabel investigates the new evidence, what the accused men are saying, and the seriously weird way this case was handled when it first happened. For nearly two years, this stayed largely inside Cornell… so was the university trying to keep a massive scandal quiet? #news #cornell #crime #education #university #women #students #schools #health #police #investigation

Melania DEFIES Trump — Then Reveals What He Doesn’t Want to Hear Sep 23, 2026

Show notes

Melania Trump is suddenly everywhere — and this week, she took a noticeably different approach from her husband.

After Donald Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, Melania’s office credentialed CNN and Politico to cover her own event at the United Nations. Then, less than 24 hours later, she went on Fox & Friends and admitted that Trump asks for her opinion — and “sometimes he doesn’t want to hear it.”

We break down what Melania has been doing behind the scenes, including her rapidly expanding international AI initiative for children, her new women’s economic summit at the New York Stock Exchange, her upcoming two-part docuseries promising answers to “private questions,” and the long history of issues where she has publicly taken a different position or approach from her husband.

So what exactly is Melania building — and what does this unusually public week tell us about how she operates inside Trump’s orbit?

Investigating Why Jake & Logan Paul REALLY Went to the Pentagon Sep 21, 2026

Show notes

Jake and Logan Paul randomly showed up at the Pentagon, met with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth — and nobody seems to know why. Mabel investigates what the Paul brothers were really doing in Washington and uncovers some pretty wild clues about what may have been happening behind the scenes. From their brand-new Hulu/ESPN fighting show and a mysterious Pentagon “PSA” to Jake’s surprise meeting at the Treasury Department, the timing raises a lot of questions. Are the Paul brothers quietly working on something with the Trump administration?

The Secret Status Symbols of Trump’s Inner Circle Sep 19, 2026

Show notes

A secret “White House” Rolex. A private club that costs $500,000 to join. Private jet hierarchy?! Wren digs into a fascinating new Vanity Fair investigation on how people in Trump’s orbit are signaling money, access, and proximity to power — and some of these details are truly bizarre.

Is 60 Minutes’ huge season-premiere story FAKE? The NEWSGIRLS investigate after former top military officials raised serious questions about whether some of the wildest claims in the report could even be true. Then, a former 60 Minutes insider tells them some wild, behind the scenes chaos that haven’t been reported anywhere else—from Bari Weiss’s secret plans for Elon Musk and Jerry Seinfeld to what’s really going on inside the newly revamped show.

Canada Joins Europe?! Meanwhile China, Russia & India Make a Pact. Sep 16, 2026

Show notes

Canada is flirting with Europe, while Putin, Xi and Modi are suddenly looking a whole lot cozier—and Trump is right in the middle of it all. Mabel analyzes the alliances being built without Washington, the unlikely countries joining forces, and why America’s grip on the global order may be starting to loosen. From Canada’s unprecedented EU proposal to Russia, China and India publicly closing ranks, something strange is happening to the world America built.

Meet The AI Actress Who Wants an Oscar (UNSETTLING) Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

We sit down with AI actress Tilly Norwood for an interview that quickly turns into a bit of a mess, complete with plenty of technical difficulties. Between glitches, delays, and some very strange moments, Tilly tells us why she wants to win an Oscar, which A-list actors she dreams of working with—including Leonardo DiCaprio and Ryan Gosling—and why she insists AI performers aren’t coming for human actors’ jobs. We also press her on who is really doing the acting, whether an AI can have genuine ambitions or opinions, and what performers like Tilly could mean for the future of Hollywood.

BIG GROCERY IS WATCHING YOU: Creepy Tech That Jacks Up Your Food Bill Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

What if Walmart could raise the price of ice cream the second it gets hot outside... or charge YOU more because it thinks you’ll pay it? Mabel investigates the creepy new technology spreading across America’s biggest grocery stores that lets them change prices in seconds, track shoppers and potentially figure out exactly how much we’re willing to pay. From 5 different prices for the same carton of eggs to “surveillance pricing,” Big Grocery is getting a terrifying new set of tools to squeeze your wallet. And billionaires are profiting. #news #money #finance #corruption #groceries #billionaires #food #tech
