    Michigan’s Nastiest Debate: El-Sayed and Rogers Trade Insults While El-Sayed Dodges “Iran or Israel” Three Times. Another ICE Shooting, This
    Oct 9 2026
    The Michigan Senate debate was the nastiest of the night. El-Sayed and Rogers traded insults, and El-Sayed was repeatedly asked whether Iran or Israel is the bigger threat and called it a “ridiculous question.” Another ICE shooting, this time in the Bronx. DHS says the man is in the country illegally with a long rap sheet and alleged gang ties. Mamdani is demanding his release, and the shooting is under investigation. And the DOJ is reportedly seeking a grand jury indictment of Cassidy Hutchinson, the January 6 star witness, for allegedly lying to Congress. No indictment yet, so will a grand jury go for it? All of it today.

    Keep Calm, Stay Alert: FBI Foils an 18-Year-Old’s ISIS-Inspired Mall of America Plot After His Parents Rebuffed Agents. Trump Account Rules
    Oct 8 2026
    Lone-wolf threats are out there, so keep calm but stay alert. The FBI arrested an 18-year-old Minnesota man accused of planning an ISIS-inspired mass shooting at the Mall of America. Prosecutors say he bought an AK-47 and 200 rounds from an undercover agent for $600, and that agents tried to speak with his parents last year and were turned away. Trump Accounts are a great benefit for kids, but the rules are changing, so we ask why the government can’t stick to the deal. The Cornell case gets thornier with questions about the accuser’s early sworn statement versus her later account, and we cover it carefully. And Maduro and his wife now face added torture charges, with a trial date of June 1, 2027. All of it today.

    Three Years Since October 7 — Mamdani Draws Backlash for Calling Gaza "Genocide" on the Anniversary. Sally Yates Takes on the Cornell Rape C
    Oct 7 2026
    Today is the third anniversary of Hamas's October 7 attack on Israel. We remember the 1,200 killed and the 251 taken hostage. NYC Mayor Mamdani acknowledged the "horrific war crimes" that day but also called Israel's response in Gaza "genocide," and the ADL, AIPAC, and Israel's U.N. ambassador all accused him of turning a day of mourning into a political statement. Cornell has hired former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates to review how it handled its Jane Doe rape case, and the choice is already drawing partisan fire. Media outlets like CNN are calling the midterms a potential "bloodbath," and we ask whether that's reporting or discouragement. And happy 30th anniversary to Fox News Channel, where I spent ten wonderful years. All of it today.

    Four Weeks to Election Day — Michigan's Senate Race Hinges on El-Sayed Winning Back Black and Jewish Voters. Trump's "Let Them Take Out LA a
    Oct 6 2026
    Four weeks until Election Day, and Michigan's Senate race may decide who controls the chamber — Democratic nominee El-Sayed is struggling with Black and Jewish voters, and a Detroit focus group was a real eye-opener. We break down why. President Trump told a Nebraska rally crowd "let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego" while talking about a nuclear Iran, sparking fierce backlash from Newsom and both cities' mayors. We give you the fuller context of what he was actually arguing and why the phrasing still landed so badly. A military firing squad has been approved for Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009. And permanent daylight saving time has Trump on one side, Senator Tom Cotton on the other — plus Trump gave out his own phone number and wants you to call. All of it today.

    Christa Pike Remains Unconscious Four Days After Tennessee's Botched Execution — Her Lawyers Demand the Governor Commute Her Sentence. Corne
    Oct 5 2026
    Christa Pike remains unconscious on a ventilator, four days after surviving two full doses of lethal injection in what experts are calling unprecedented in American death penalty history. Her lawyers say her arms were left burned and blistered, and they're formally asking Tennessee's governor to commute her sentence to life in prison. We examine what happens legally from here. Then at Cornell, a woman alleges she was drugged and gang-raped by seven fraternity brothers in 2024 — but prosecutors initially refused to file any criminal charges because of New York's "voluntary intoxication loophole," a law that says if you choose to get drunk, you have almost no legal recourse if something happens to you while impaired. We break down exactly how that law works, why lawmakers have failed to close it for eight straight years, and why Governor Hochul just appointed the Attorney General to reopen the criminal investigation. All of it today.

    "God Made Trump" — The $20 Million Taxpayer-Funded Ad Portrays the President as a Messianic Figure. Why Isn't He Paying for These Himself? P
    Oct 2 2026
    A new taxpayer-funded ad called "God Made Trump" is airing with a messianic three-minute riff on "So God Made a Farmer" — part of at least 13 campaign-style ads costing $20 million in DHS and Customs and Border Protection money, funds that were supposed to go to border security. Democrats are calling it a corrupt misuse of taxpayer dollars, and Trump's own officials reportedly called it "obviously illegal" privately. Why not just use his own campaign war chest? And better yet, why is a president who's not even on the ballot this year running self-promotional ads at all? Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reports the FlyDubai co-pilot who allegedly stabbed the captain and tried to crash the plane had already been grounded for a full year by Oman Air after extremist materials were found during his training. He was still allowed to keep working, and somehow ended up flying one of the most sensitive routes in the world, a flight to Tel Aviv — a route Omani pilots weren't even supposed to be assigned to under FlyDubai's own agreement with Israel. How did this happen? All of it today.

  • The FlyDubai Pilots Are Headed to UAE Justice — Fast or Harsh Compared to the West? October Brings the Nastiest Stretch of Election Season.

    The FlyDubai Pilots Are Headed to UAE Justice — Fast or Harsh Compared to the West? October Brings the Nastiest Stretch of Election Season.
    Oct 1 2026
    Both pilots from this week's terrifying FlyDubai incident — the stabbed captain and the accused first officer — are reportedly being moved from Saudi Arabia to the UAE for Dubai's legal system to take over. We ask what that actually means, since Emirati justice moves very differently, and often faster but harsher, than what we're used to in the West. It's officially October, which means we've entered the ugliest stretch of election season — we talk through what to watch for. And a genuinely shocking story out of Tennessee — Christa Pike, who would have been the first woman executed there in over 200 years, survived two full doses of lethal injection Wednesday night. Witnesses say she was alive and snoring afterward. The governor has halted all remaining executions this year and ordered a full investigation. Experts are calling this unprecedented. All of it today.

    A FlyDubai First Officer Stabs the Captain Mid-Flight — Passengers Storm the Cockpit and Land Safely in Saudi Arabia. RFK Jr. Says AI Is "Be
    Sep 30 2026
    A genuinely terrifying scene today — a FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv saw its first officer allegedly stab the captain and try to crash the plane, according to Israel's Prime Minister, who called it an attempted terror attack. The aircraft lost 17,000 feet of altitude before passengers and crew stormed the cockpit, subdued him, and landed safely in Saudi Arabia. Both pilots are hospitalized; the first officer is under arrest. Real echoes of Flight 93, even with different specifics. Then RFK Jr. told a Washington summit that AI is now "better informed" than your doctor and can "free us from medical tyranny," citing a claim that OpenAI's Sam Altman called it malpractice for doctors not to check AI. Not everyone agrees — a CBS medical contributor pushed back directly, calling that idea a bad one. We break down both sides. And Robinhood just rolled out expanded AI tools that will trade stocks for you automatically, around the clock — 150,000 people are already using it. Exciting, but let's watch how it performs before diving in ourselves. All of it today.
