    Ex CIA Officer Destroys Every 9/11 Conspiracy Theory... Except One | Sarah Adams

    9/11 conspiracy theories, the Saudi 9/11 files, and the al Qaeda attack still being planned. Twenty-five years after September 11, former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams takes every theory head on with Jillian Michaels. Building 7, the Pentagon, the dancing Israelis, the Saudi money. Sarah goes through all of it on the record. Then the one that was never a theory: the August 6, 2001 brief titled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." Condoleezza Rice called it a historical document. Thirty-six days later he did it. Fifteen of the nineteen hijackers were Saudi. Bush classified the file. Obama kept it classified and vetoed the bill that would have let the families sue the Kingdom. Two presidents, two parties, one buried record. Sarah's answer cuts against both sides. And al Qaeda isn't finished. Their own plotting describes something three times the size of 9/11. The Capitol is still on the target list. Sarah says American counterterrorism collection is running at a fraction of what it was fifteen years ago, and almost nobody is saying it out loud. IN THIS EPISODE: - The Building 7 Conspiracy - What the August 6 brief really said, and the word buried on page one - The dancing Israelis, Michael Chertoff, and 71 days in custody - Saudi donor money versus Saudi government Involvment- Why Iran left the hijackers' passports unstamped, and why nobody made them pay - Al Qaeda's next plot, the aviation piece, and the target they never got - The Muslim Brotherhood hearing Democrats refused to show up to - Benghazi: who actually wrote the story America was told - Tulsi Gabbard's 120 bio labs, and the handful that matter - Plus Abdul El-Sayed's 9/11 comments👇 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU 👇Tell us what you thought of today's show and who you want on next.

    The Fallout From Jelly Roll's Trump Attack Keeps Getting Worse!

    Jelly Roll went after Trump on Jimmy Kimmel Live and the backlash is exploding. What he said next is the real story, and it's why millions of country music fans say they're done with him for good.Then a former progressive activist comes forward with a warning that should scare everybody: the political violence in America isn't over, and she explains exactly why it's about to get worse. She reveals what happened to her inside the movement before she got out, and what she says about the Charlie Kirk rhetoric will stop you cold.Angie Nixon says she's not a socialist. So why did she join the Democratic Socialists of America, and what do the clips the DSA doesn't want you to see actually show? We play them side by side and you can decide for yourself.Meanwhile, the Los Angeles mayor race just hit rock bottom. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman tore into each other in a debate so brutal it left one question hanging over the entire city: what happens to LA if the wrong person wins?We also expose the fake polls scandal, a voter manipulation tactic so effective you've probably already fallen for it without knowing. There's a name for what they're doing, and once you hear it you'll spot it everywhere.Finally, the Spain migration crisis explodes. Thousands storm the streets of Ceuta near the Morocco Spain border, and how the locals answered has all of Europe holding its breath. Ireland went first, Spain is next, and nobody in Brussels wants to guess which country is after that.👇 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU 👇Tell us what you thought of today's show and who you want on next.

    Is James Talarico a Danger to Texas? Ken Paxton's Brings Receipts

    James Talarico vs. Ken Paxton. The 2026 Texas Senate race decides whether Texas sends its first Democrat to Washington since 1988, and if this seat flips, the Senate goes with it. This Ken Paxton interview is the roadmap.  The Texas Attorney General breaks open his ActBlue investigation, reacts to the Talarico clips that have to be seen to be believed, and tells the full story of the surrogate baby he stepped in to save.  ▶ THE ACTBLUE INVESTIGATION Paxton's office donated to ActBlue under fake names with untraceable payment methods. It worked. The door for foreign money into American elections is standing wide open, his opponent pulled $20 million through that exact platform in three months, and the judge who shut the case down sits 1,800 miles from Texas. You watched the ActBlue CEO take the Fifth 22 times. This is the man who lit that fuse, and he says the abuse is still happening right now.  ▶ THE SURROGATE BABY CASE A surrogate mother ran to Texas with days left in the pregnancy. The couple paying her wanted it ended, even with a nearly 100 percent surgical success rate waiting on the other side. Paxton reached back through 80 years of case law to stop them. What happened in the seven days after that baby was born is the part you will not see coming.  ▶ THE TALARICO TAPES The two James Talarico clips my producers begged me to put in front of Paxton on camera. A vegan campaign in the biggest barbecue state in America. A murder jury he suggested was too white to deliver justice. Watch Paxton's reaction to the second one. Talarico is 37 years old. If he takes this seat, Texas lives with what he actually believes for decades, so the only question that matters is which version of this man is real.  ▶ THE MAHA FILES Paxton's battles over transparency in what you eat and wear: the chemicals being sprayed on the organic produce at your grocery store, the seed oils hiding in your avocado oil, the dyes in your kids' cereal, and the forever chemicals Lululemon put in leggings it advertised as healthy. Registration closes end of September. Election day is November 3rd. Watch this before you decide anything. #JamesTalarico #KenPaxton #TexasSenate 👇 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU 👇 Tell us what you thought of today's show and who you want on next.
