New footage obtained by The News Movement shows Alex Pretti in a violent altercation with federal agents 11 days before his death—spitting, yelling, and kicking out their taillight while armed. The legacy media sold you a lie about an "innocent bystander." Tom Homan has replaced Greg Bovino in Minneapolis, bringing strategic enforcement over flashy arrests. We break down the Signal networks tracking ICE agents, the funding behind organized protests, and what really happened on January 24th.

New classified Iranian intelligence documents expose 36,500+ deaths in three-week massacre—initial reports of 3,090 were vastly underreported. Regime stuffed wounded protesters alive in body bags, executed patients during surgery behind internet blackout. Trump sends armada as Khamenei flees to bunker. Legacy media ignores genocide-scale atrocities because covering it means admitting Trump's Iran strategy succeeded. Iranian protesters plead: "Don't let them kill us."

On January 9th, 14 Republican senators voted to allocate $5.7 billion for refugee resettlement—despite Trump reducing refugee admissions to nearly zero. Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, and 11 others funded Biden's refugee infrastructure while Trump's DHS begs for border security resources. Only Bill Hagerty voted no. This money could fund 19,000 deportation flights or 10,000 detention beds instead. The deadline is January 30th—call your senators NOW.

President Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act as 1,500 troops prepare for Minnesota deployment. But here's what the legacy media won't tell you: Democrats are COUNTING on it. We break down the 200-year history of this law, why Trump has clear legal authority, and how Minnesota's freezing protests are a trial run for nationwide midterm chaos. If leftists will protest in January cold, what happens in October before the 2026 elections? See the political trap being set.

Bill and Hillary Clinton defied a bipartisan congressional subpoena to testify about Jeffrey Epstein—now they're facing contempt charges. But will they face the same justice as Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, who both served four months in prison for the identical crime? John O'Connor breaks down the timeline, the Clintons' audacious letter claiming they're fighting tyranny, and the two-tiered justice system on full display. Plus: what YOU can do to demand accountability from Congress and the DOJ.

Can a president freeze federal funding to states that disagree with him? On January 6, 2026, Trump froze $10 billion to five blue states. Three days later, a federal judge blocked it.

In this episode, we break down the constitutional battle over federal spending power, examine precedents from Obama, Trump's first term, and Biden, and explain why conservatives should be very careful about the powers they're cheering today.

Topics covered:
- Article 1 Section 8: Who controls federal money
- Congress or President?
- Obama's Medicaid expansion case (Supreme Court ruled "too coercive")
- Trump's 2017 sanctuary city funding fight
- Biden's COVID vaccine mandate (what courts allowed vs blocked)
- Why this funding freeze is more extreme than past examples
- 5 principles conservatives should demand from ANY president

The precedents we set today will be used against us tomorrow.

Constitutional analysis for principled conservatives.

Republicans will likely hold the Senate 52-48 in the 2026 midterms, but lose the House 220-215 to Democrats. I break down the competitive Senate races in Georgia, Michigan, and North Carolina, explain how redistricting in Texas and California cancels out, and analyze why Trump's 40% approval rating and a Democrat +14 generic ballot spell trouble for the House. This is a wake-up call: we have 10 months to prove these predictions wrong.

The capture of Nicolás Maduro exposed more than one dictator—it revealed a 25-year Cuban lie. For decades, Cuba denied having military forces in Venezuela. Then 32 Cuban soldiers died protecting Maduro, forcing Havana to admit the truth. Meanwhile, Chinese-funded socialist groups mobilized protests across 20 U.S. cities within 12 hours—with professional signs ready at 2:29 AM. Who's funding this network? Why is Mexico nervous? Today we expose the machine.
