When your police chief doesn't know what 'chain of command' means, you've already got a problem, D.C. Also an update on the media talking heads telling you there's no crime problem. 

Who keeps telling politicians to keep searing on stage? Some of them can pull it off, but some can't - like Beto.

And a story about the most unf=grateful airline passenger ever...the crew saved her life and she thanked them by flipping them off!

Good news: you're not the only one in your social group calling for safer cities. Is it really a capital 'takeover' when the feds are there to support D.C. police? More on the Trump announcement on making Washington safer.

But...that didn't stop the protests against curtailing crime. Is that really the argument? 

And an angry actress and podcaster says you shouldn't be able to go to a Mexican or Chinese restaurant if you voted for Tr...

The news will be dominated by the Trump administration's plan to clean up crime in D.C. What's it mean to you? You're not the bad guy anymore if you say you've had enough of criminals. 

We have a wi;ld story of a fake nurse in Florida busted after treating over 3,000 patients! Good reminder that you can always ask for a medical person's credentials.

UCLA graduate dropped an F-bomb during her speech - guess who it was directed at.

And ...

Friday! And we'll start with good news - actress Gina Carano wins a settlement with Disney and why I think this is a win for everybody.

Also, there's major controversy about banning junk food poison from S.N.A.P. (food stamp( benefits...here's the reframe: what if it's a national health concern?

The Trump administration is dead serious about cleaning up crime in the nation's capital, and your city could be next.

And Nova Scotia, Canad...

Lots of stupid - but no less important - news today!

Some breaking news: President Trump is calling for a new census. Get ready for lawsuits.

ICE has a recruitment program with benefits and Dean Cain has already signed up.

The WNBA found out who one of the d*ildo throwers is...do they hate the publicity?

Speaking of, a passenger was caught vaping in an American Airlines bathroom and tried to cry victim. It dodn't work out for him.

You can feel it - regular citizens have had enough of the lawlessness on the streets. Two stories highlight this...DOGE team member 'Big Balls' fought off 10 dirtbags protecting a female companion and the Cincinatti beating victim is speaking out now (with a good news update).

And another low life is about to face justice: an update on Adam Shifty Schiff's mortgage fraud case!
Mark as Played
Who wouldv'e thought it would be a reality TV star getting answers on the LA fire mismanagement, but that's what Spencer Pratt is doing,

Also, the 'moon nuke' story is not what it appears (and actually makes sense).

Texas democrats decided to go on the lamb instead of voting on redistricting.

And oh yeah, a grand jury has been recommended for the creators of the false Russia collusion story - could it be in Florida?
Mark as Played
Well, what craziness has the news brought us today? Let's make sense of it...

American Eagle brand is not backing down to the outrage mob. Don't underestimate how important this is.

The New York Times ran an op-ed calling for a reexamination of how death is defined - in order to increase the amount of organ donations. If that disturbs you, you're not alone and there is something you can do about it. 

But in other medical news, the wor...

Friday! Plenty of stuff the news is throwing at us today, what's it mean for us?

Kamala's back with a new book and went on, of course, Colbert to promote it. Is the cackle getting worse?

I'll try to make sense of the declassified Durham Annex bombshell, which is confusing by design but very important. The media silence tells you a lot about its role.

The Presidential Fit Test is back, and it might give you parents an angle to start ta...

Today's takeaway: never, ever apologize to the woke mob to appease them.

Speaking of that, now Dunkin' is getting in on the the attractive people in their ads and a certain segment is not too happy about it.

Also, the sad story of fitness 'influencer' Joey Swoll, He dared tro grieve the loss of Hulk Hogan, was admonished for it, apologized, then learned the hard way to never apologize for the wrong reason because it's never enough. N...

Lots of things NOT to worry about today:

Looks as though Hawaii did a good job getting the warnings out for a potential tsunami and people listened. Not without some controversy though, as Oprah took some heat for not opening up her private road for evacuees early enough.

Headlines about a killer asteroid headed toward the moon in 2032 made headlines....until you dig deeper and realize its chance of affecting us are very slim. Fear d...

Working a little harder today to guide yoiu through the insane news the world is throwing at us. The NYC shooter was identified relatively quickly, but of course misidentified by CNN. The calls for supporting and funding police have never been louder.

An update on the Cincinnati attack investigation, and leaders there are blaming socioal media for how the incident has been portrayed. 

And in comedic relief - there are people upset at...

Mainstream media is silent about the weekend attack of a white middle aged couple, but that's okay...social media got the story out and the general public has had enough. Demand for justice is coming from some very high profile people.

Also, that new trade deal with the European Union is being called the largest ever, but what's it mean for you and me?

And baseball great Ichiro Suzuki got some sweet 'positive revenge' with humor agai...

Another tough loss for kids who grew up in the 80's and 90's...Hulk Hogan passed away at 71. There are few bigger names in entertainment, and his image trancended wrestling, But....

A whole bunch of hate for the Hulkster surfaced yesterday, stemming from his past comments. Would the hate have come if he hadn't endorsed a certain man currentky in the White House?

Florida Governor Ron Desantis put on a clinic on how to handle a heckler...

The victims'' families of dirtbag killer Bryan Kohberger verbally destroyed him yesterday...will this change victim statements forever?

Also, for the first time ever, the words treasonm Coup, and Obama were ,linked by DNI Tulsi Gabbard yesterday. This is bad news for Obabma, whether or not he ever pays a legal price.

And a huge win for college students: after yesterday's settlement, Columbia University commits to admissions based on ...

It seems silly to talk about abything but the icon we lost yesterday. Ozzy's legacy, the people he touched, the deications flowing in all tell you he meant so much t to many people. For somebody called 'The Prince Of Darkness', he sure brought a lot of light.

The country collectively groaned when Hunter Biden showed up on 2 podcasts yesterday, but I'm here to tell you why his revenge tour may be a huge win for real transparancy.

Speaking of transparency, 230.000 files related to the MLK assasination investigation were released yesterday - why is nobody talking about it?

That Astronomer company has a new CEO after the Coldplay kiss cam fiasco forced the old boss out. The new guy knows how ...

We've had some intense topics to talk about over the past few months, but any more serious than the possibility of treason charges against former administration officials? 

This one starts off light though with a good lesson on knowing your value in a company - thanks to  WNBA players asking for a big raise. 

And sports often reflect what's happening in society - so are the Washington Commanders coming back to their origibal name? Pr...

Happy weekend! This WNBA story gives me food for though, or at least some wisdom I've learned the hard way - before asking for that pay raise, know your monetary value to the company.

Whatever your leanings, we should celebrate the end of Late Night with Colbert...it might mean late night comedians will stop being mouth pieces for political parties. 

Also, has Trump been playing '4D Chess' on the whole Epstein mess? Probably not, but a huge win for everybdy calling for transparency.

And the affair couple outed by the kiss cam at the Coldplay concert just made things worse for themselves...with his statement.
