    Shane Gillis VS The Feminists - The Gym Joke That Broke The Woke Mob

    Shane Gillis SNL firestorm, the Cornell 7 "I Am Jane Doe" revolt, and the Katie Zacharia attack that exposed the left three weeks before the midterms. With the midterms weeks away, the party that built its entire brand on protecting women, minorities, and the oppressed just got caught, on camera, doing the opposite on every single front. Kathy Hochul and Bruce Blakeman clashed in the New York governor debate over illegal immigration, Mamdani, and crime, and one answer from Hochul may have handed Republicans the exact clip they need in November. Social and political commentator Anthony Rispo joins Jillian to break down why the woke moral script is collapsing in real time, from the Shane Gillis SNL monologue to the Cornell 7 case to a France riots solidarity stunt so insane it has to be seen to be believed. Then, Ziwe sat Hasan Piker down and asked the internet's favorite socialist one question about Karl Marx and his $2.7 million house, and he never recovered. The new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia got hit with an attack the left swore it would never use on a woman. And Dan Levy, Letitia James, Bernie Sanders, and Tucker Carlson all show up, and not one of them comes out clean. Rispo, a Columbia-trained psychologist, lays out the actual science behind why people set themselves on fire for a cause, scream "I am Jane Doe" at strangers, and call a comedian a rapist over a gym joke. If Democrats can't see this pattern, November is going to hurt.

    The Feds Are Uncovering What Ilhan Omar Did… It’s WAY Worse Than You Think

    Allegations against Ilham Omar just got WAY WORSE after federal agents raided her home in a criminal fraud investigation, James Talarico vanishes for nine critical days but won’t do the one thing that actually clears his name, and Trump cuts a massive diesel deal with Vladimir Putin that could save the midterms for the GOP.In a pre-dawn raid, federal agents targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar amid sweeping fraud allegations—spanning tax fraud, perjury, bigamy, and immigration violations. At the center is a 30-year-old paper trail: an obituary, deleted posts, and a marriage license that could unravel her citizenship, trigger denaturalization, and lead to deportation. Omar denies all charges, but what did investigators seize?Meanwhile, Texas Senate candidate James Talarico disappeared from the trail for nine days, blaming the flu. But with leaked audio, a private jet, and a hospital denying he was ever admitted, one crucial question remains unanswered.Plus: Donald Trump strikes a multi-million-ton Russian diesel deal, GOP senators push back, Sophie Cunningham faces WNBA backlash, Democratic voter registrations crater, and boil-water advisories spread nationwide.Nelson from Sentry H2O on boil orders, what’s really in your tap water, and how to protect your health and your home in minutes.👇 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU 👇What did you think of today’s show, and who do you want to see on next?

    "Black People Are Waking Up": WeScott on Leaving the Left & Media Lies

    Trump Los Angeles San Diego firestorm, Gavin Newsom’s 25th Amendment push, and Abdul El Sayed’s Obama problem.The Trump Los Angeles San Diego firestorm just escalated. Gavin Newsom is invoking the 25th Amendment and Democrats think they finally have him, weeks before the midterms. So why do Jillian Michaels and Wescott America say this one is about to blow up in the left’s face? They get into what Trump was really saying, and then they name the threat they believe the media is ignoring while it melts down over a rally riff.Then there’s Abdul El Sayed. Barack Obama is about to campaign for him, which is awkward, because old clips of what El Sayed really thinks of Obama’s presidency are resurfacing. Two new reports about his past are out as well, and you won’t find them on the evening news. How is this man weeks away from a U.S. Senate seat?Plus Mark Ruffalo’s sudden panic over voting machines, what Zohran Mamdani’s new city office is really doing with taxpayer money, Elon Musk’s warning about Europe, and the Cornell 7 case the left is now trying to hang on Trump.IN THIS EPISODE:Trump Los Angeles San Diego comment and Gavin Newsom’s 25th Amendment push: The clip is everywhere and Newsom pounced. Is this the opening Democrats have prayed for, or the overreach that hands Trump the midterms?Cornell 7 case: The left has decided this one is Trump’s fault too. Wait until you see whose watch it actually happened on.Trump ads and Zohran Mamdani: The media is in an uproar over who paid for Trump’s ads. So where’s the uproar over what Mamdani’s new office is doing with taxpayer money right now?Elon Musk Europe warning: Musk looked at the trend in Europe and said where he thinks it ends. Is America on the same path?CNN Death to America clip: An old CNN clip is making the rounds again, and what the anchor says on camera explains a lot about how this threat gets covered today.Free speech in France and the UK: A woman accepted an invitation to debate on French TV. What the courts did to her afterward is a preview of what some people want here.Abdul El Sayed and Obama: Obama is riding to the rescue of a candidate who had plenty to say about Obama’s record. What’s in those clips, and what did the Free Beacon and The Federalist just report about El Sayed?Black voters and the Democrats: Is El Sayed taking the Black vote for granted? Wescott shares the moment that made him walk away from the left, and Jillian asks him the question Republican candidates need answered before November.Mark Ruffalo, voting machines and the SAVE America Act: Ruffalo is suddenly sounding the alarm on election security. What changed since the right raised the same concern? And if both sides are worried about voter ID and election integrity, why is only one of them willing to make a deal? CNN’s Abby Phillip makes a cameo she won’t enjoy.

    France Riots Are Spreading and the Trail Leads to New York. Who's REALLY Behind This?

    Cornell 7: is Letitia James turning one case into an all out war between men and women right before the midterms? New York's attorney general now controls the investigation, a resurfaced clip of her is lighting up the internet, and somehow the whole thing keeps getting pinned on Trump. Jillian Michaels breaks down how this case became a political weapon that's tearing the country apart, then follows the chaos overseas to the France riots, where a far left group, LFI, with ties to the Democratic Socialists of America is at the center of the fire. Plus Abdul El Sayed's fundraiser with the Soros family, Tom Homan on migrant hotels, and Zohran Mamdani's socialism pitch on Theo Von.IN THIS EPISODE:Mamdani explains socialism to Theo Von: It sounded warm and harmless, and almost nobody noticed who actually wrote those words first.Mamdani vs. the NYPD: He wants to wipe out the unit that stands between New York and its worst nightmare, and he still hasn't said what replaces it.France riots: Schools are set ablaze, cops are under attack, and France is losing control as French intelligence names who they believe lit the match.France riots and the DSA: The far left party at the center of the chaos has a direct line to the Democratic Socialists of America, and to the most powerful man in New York.AOC on ICE: Buried inside her wildest rant yet is one point that's actually true, and neither party wants you to hear the fix.Tom Homan on migrant hotels: Taxpayers are covering a jaw dropping bill every single night, and you'll never guess who's cashing in.Abdul El Sayed's Soros fundraiser: He swore he'd keep billionaire money out of politics. Then secret video leaked from inside a Soros mansion, and now his opponent is calling him a con man.El Sayed and ActBlue: He brags about his small donors, but an elderly Michigan woman on his donor list says she never gave that money, and his campaign has gone dead silent.Letitia James and the Cornell 7: Her own Facebook post may have already destroyed this case, and now people are asking whether these young men can get a fair trial at all.Cornell 7 and CBS: CBS put one student on national TV to talk about campus safety and never told viewers who she really was.CHAPTERS:0:00 Cold Open Chaos1:16 Mamdani Theo Von Trap6:19 Mamdani Guts NYPD Defenses?9:42 France Riots Explode14:38 France Riots Mastermind Revealed?17:32 DSA’s Connection to France Riots19:27 AOC ICE Hypocrisy Exposed25:00 Immigration Fix Nobody Wants27:47 Tom Homan Drops Bombshell28:55 Migrant Hotel Money Machine32:34 Abdul El Sayed Caught?36:18 El Sayed ActBlue Scandal38:13 Letitia James Already Decided?42:16 Cornell 7 Weaponized43:23 Palestine Socialism Pipeline?

    "Whoop" Bill Maher? Abdul El-Sayed Just Started a War He Can't Win

    Trump took a beating from both parties for the Xi Jinping state dinner. Then Marco Rubio explained what happens if the Trump Xi meeting never takes place, and the answer should scare every American. The media banned from the dinner, the ballroom tour, and the GOP backlash got wall-to-wall coverage. The one thing that actually matters got zero. Meanwhile Bill Maher said something about Trump on Real Time that his own audience wasn't ready for, Abdul El-Sayed just made a bet that could end his Senate run before it starts, and two names surfaced behind the AI regulation push that explain why Washington suddenly wants to kill an industry. Jillian Michaels breaks it all down.IN THIS EPISODE:▶ Trump Xi Jinping Dinner: Rubio calls skipping this meeting "irresponsible." He's being polite. What he describes goes far beyond trade, and once you hear it the media circus over the ballroom looks a lot different.▶ White House Press Ban: CNN and Politico won their court case and still got stopped at the door. The same outlets screaming now stayed silent when another president tried it. Who, and when, is the part that ends the argument.▶ AI Regulation and Anthropic: Chamath Palihapitiya and Joe Lonsdale on a $10 trillion decision that picks which party runs the country for decades. Two billionaires paid for the AI panic. Wait until you hear what they actually own.▶ Bill Maher Gives Trump Credit: Maher broke from the left on live TV over crime. What he said, and what his own guest got wrong minutes later, tells you everything about where the media is headed.▶ Abdul El-Sayed vs Bill Maher: The Michigan Senate candidate wants to embarrass Maher on his own show. Jillian pulls his family's donor records and one Treasury designation that should have every Michigan voter asking questions.▶ AIPAC and Foreign Money: Jake from The Moderate Case reads James Fishback's donor list on air. Then Jillian ranks who's really buying Washington. AIPAC's spot on that list will make you rethink the entire debate.▶ Congo's Forgotten War: Millions dead and not one campus protest. A woman on the ground asks why. Jillian's answer comes from a refugee camp she slept in, and it names who's paying for the silence.👇 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU 👇What did you think of today's show, and who do you want to see on next?
