Episode Details

Zelensky brings light to NYC. TrumpTV is Here! Independents vs GOP Dark Money. Giants Crash out in LA vs the Rams. We All Bond in the Suck. 

Hurricane season is here, and the biggest storm making landfall this week is Hurricane Trump. Paul Rieckhoff opens episode 630 from New York City as the UN General Assembly turns into a global stage for threats, propaganda, and pressure campaigns. From the UNGA lectern, Trump floated annihilating the Islamic Republic, telegraphed Cuba as the next target, mocked the very concept of artificial intelligence, and kept pushing the rigged two-party system further into authoritarian territory. Then he banned CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House and rolled out Trump TV "a predictable next step in the MAGA machine's propaganda buildout.

Paul connects the dots the corporate press won't: why Mamdani cozying up to Trump lacks integrity, why Kamala parachuting into Michigan for Abdul El-Sayed is a losing play, and why the four independent veterans running in Idaho, South Dakota, Montana, and Nebraska are about to get buried in dark money if we don't have their backs. He also honors President Zelensky's return to the 9/11 Memorial, remembers Wells Crowther, and closes with the reminder that eternal vigilance is the price of freedom "even when your quarterback goes down, even when the storms come, even when everything goes sideways.
