The SAVE Act is hitting a make-or-break moment in the Senate—and Democrats don’t want to defend the indefensible. In this breakdown, we expose the hypocrisy: a throwback Chuck Schumer clip admitting ID is basic anti-fraud, Gavin Newsom claiming he “can’t find” his birth certificate while blocking voter ID in California, and the insane reality of SB 1174. Plus: Newsom demands IDs for ICE… but not...

Jasmine Crockett’s Texas Senate bid is spiraling after a spectacular Epstein “gotcha” backfired in a dramatic Oversight hearing. As headlines swirled around Prince Andrew’s arrest, Crockett tried to tie Trump to Epstein—only for key testimony to undercut the narrative and hand Trump a fresh round of “exoneration” talking points. Then Crockett dropped a bombshell: she claims fellow Texas Dem...

The Supreme Court just dropped a bombshell on President Trump’s tariff agenda: a 6–3 ruling led by Chief Justice John Roberts says the IEEPA emergency powers law can’t be used to impose sweeping tariffs—setting up a huge fight over refunds, markets, and who really controls trade policy. We break down the dissent (Kavanaugh, Thomas, Alito), the shocker votes (Gorsuch, Barrett), Wall Street’s reaction, a...

CNN tried to turn a heartwarming Black History Month moment into another “Trump is racist” pile-on — and it completely backfired. In this clip, a D.C. grandmother who lost her grandson to violence thanks President Trump for finally listening, bringing attention to her story...

Democrats and the media are trying to rewrite history in real time — and one White House press briefing question exposed the whole scam. Ed O’Keefe asked when President Trump has been “falsely” called racist… as if we all didn’t hear the endless smears fo...

Kevin O’Leary just said the quiet part out loud on CNN — and Abby Phillip had NO answer. In this clip breakdown, we dig into the wild panel meltdown, the nonstop “but Trump” deflection, and why viewers keep changing the channel. Plus: J.D. Vance torches AOC’s awkward Munich Security Conference moment on Taiwan, and we show the brutal cable news ratings that explain why CNN’s primetime is collapsi...

New York City’s socialist experiment is already hitting the wall. Zoran Mamdani admits he’s “forced” to raid the rainy day fund, tap retiree health reserves, and hike property taxes—after promising “free” everything and claiming only the ultra-wealthy would pay. Meanwhile, homelessness policy whiplash follows deadly winter street conditions, and even CNN can’t hide the economic realit...

Stephen Colbert’s “FCC censorship” story just collapsed — and even Brian Stelter accidentally confirmed it. In this clip, Larry O’Connor breaks down how Colbert and Texas Rep. James Talarico pushed a hoax about Trump and the FCC, when the real issue was FCC equal-time rules and Jasmine Crockett getting boxed out as a declared candidate. Plus: why cable vs. broadcast matters, how the media keeps lying, ...

CNN’s Abby Phillip panel went full chaos—except this time, Scott Jennings wasn’t even there. Enter Tezlyn Figaro, the new “star” who declares “decorum is over,” then immediately melts down over illegal immigration, bail, “due process,” and a Trump-era Independence Hall slavery exhibit fight. Kevin O’Leary pushes back, Tess demands “thank me for my service,” and...

The legacy media is still hunting for a “moderate Democrat” like it’s a unicorn—and Jake Tapper’s latest attempt to sell Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear as the answer is painfully transparent. In this clip, Beshear dodges, the “pendulum” talking point gets exposed, and Hakeem Jeffries gets pressured by Joy Reid to go full “Abolish ICE.” The result? A brutal reminder that the Left&rsq...

Stephen Colbert is pushing a wild censorship narrative — claiming Trump and the FCC “silenced” his Texas Senate guest. In this clip, we break down what actually happened: the Equal Time Rule, CBS lawyers, and why the real fear isn’t Republicans… it’s a Democrat-on-Democrat primary problem. Was this a media stunt to boost James Talarico while keeping Jasmine Crockett off broadcast TV? We unpack t...

Minnesota’s Democrats are in full-blown meltdown mode as ICE enforces the law—and now Tim Walz has the nerve to demand taxpayers “pay for what they broke.” In this clip, we expose the fraud explosion, the insanity of comparing funding pauses to school shootings, and the jaw-dropping sanctuary-state logic that fueled chaos in Minneapolis. Plus: Keith Ellison gets cornered on asylum rules, and Stephen Miller l...

Most Americans are finally saying the quiet part out loud: Democrats have gone too far left—and Congress just proved it. In this clip, Republicans push a bill to keep men out of women’s sports, while Democrats melt down with absurd “how would you know?” fearmongering. We break down the viral congressional exchange, the stunning poll showing 58% of voters say Democrats are too liberal, and how woke activism i...

Inflation is cooling, real wages are rising, and CNN is… depressed. In this clip, we break down the latest CPI numbers (2.4% headline, 2.5% core), why everyday Americans still feel squeezed at the grocery store, and the brutal moment a CNN “expert” can’t explain why Trump’s economy appears to be working.

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same.
