Pat Gray Unleashed

The Pentagon just settled the argument: Nidal Hasan's firing squad will be live streamed. On November 5, 2009, Army Maj. Nidal Hasan walked into the Soldier Readiness Processing Center at Fort Hood, shouted "Allahu akbar," and opened fire on soldiers lined up for deployment clearances. Thirteen people were killed. Thirty-two were wounded. He called it jihad. President Trump approved a firing squad. Pete Hegseth says it happens at Fort Hood on December 3 at 1 p.m. Central, the same base and the same hour Hasan opened fire. Soldiers with rifles, and the public gets to watch, because people need to understand there are serious consequences. Asked if Hasan had reached out for mercy, Hegseth said he did not care. The Pentagon then said the execution will be live streamed. Carried out, it would be the first U.S. military execution since 1961, and the first the military has put on the internet.

Ken Paxton put one question on the mic at President Trump’s San Antonio rally, and the room answered it back: Where is James Talarico? Trump was in San Antonio campaigning for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, against Democrat James Talarico. Paxton led the crowd in “Where is Talarico?” and said the Democrat had not been seen campaigning in Texas for 11 days. Talarico’s campaign answered through spokesman JT Ennis. After more than 100 public events and tens of thousands of hands shaken, James came down with the flu and will be back on the trail this weekend. Then the counterpunch: Paxton has been ignoring Texans, and he answers to billionaire mega-donors and special interests, not the people of this state. Trump, stumping for Paxton, also pressed the absence and went after Talarico on immigration, public safety, and education. Early voting in Texas begins October 19. This seat sits inside the fight over who holds the Senate after the November midterms. Pat also…

Oct. 7 didn't end. The survivors still can't go back to work. Three years after Hamas murdered and kidnapped civilians at the Nova music festival and in places like Kibbutz Be'eri, the New York Post checked on the people who lived. Recovery is not what they found. Nova survivor Rom El-Hai, 32, hid in a forest while gunfire passed. He came out without his job, his girlfriend, or his friends, and he says the PTSD and depression are still intense. People tell survivors that making it out means life snaps back. It did not. Photographer Shye Klein still cannot shoot events. A DJ stopping the music sends his heart racing, because that silence is what he heard when the killing started. UJA Federation of New York CEO Eric Goldstein says only 20% of Nova survivors have kept continuous work for more than three months. A large number are out of work. Some are homeless, living in cars, with no financial support. Former hostage Evyatar David, held 738 days, separated the two fights: surviving captivity is one thing and…

Twelve American B-1 bombers did not leave a British base by accident. The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times report that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was behind a complex, multipronged plan to destroy U.S. aircraft and kill American service members at RAF Fairford, about 90 miles west of London. All 12 bombers went back to their home stations in the United States over the weekend. Some officials say the plot looked loosely like Ukraine’s Operation Spider Web, the truck-launched drone strikes on Russian bomber bases. This was not a strike that already happened. It was intelligence serious enough that the planes left. That pullout came days after British police stopped an alleged terror plot near the same airfield. Five British nationals were arrested over a suspected van bomb attack; a sixth man, a U.K.-Iranian national, was later arrested. All were released on bail. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said there were strong indications the Iranian government had a hand in that earlier plot. Vice…

Justice Samuel Alito just told CBS he is considering retirement. Alito is 76, the second-oldest justice on the bench. He said he thought about retiring this year and decided to stay, because he still believes he can make a valuable contribution. He also said somebody his age has to think about it every term, and he will look at it again in 2027. That is not a resignation. It is a clock. If he leaves while President Trump is still in office, Trump gets a shot at a fourth Supreme Court justice. His first three already moved the Court to the right. Trump has also said he regrets several nominees who ruled against his administration. Confirmation is the other half of the math. Republicans hold the Senate and the White House right now. The midterms are weeks away. If Democrats take the Senate, a fourth Trump pick gets a much harder path. Alito is not playing that chess game in public. He told CBS it is too hard to predict the political situation or what any president might do with a replacement. On Fox, he called…

Core drilling just started on the boat-shaped ridge in eastern Turkey that some people have called Noah’s Ark since a Turkish Army captain spotted it from the air in 1959. The Durupinar formation sits in the Tendurek Mountains near Mount Ararat, about 164 meters long — close to the 300-cubit length in Genesis. Modern geologists have treated it for decades as limestone and volcanic clay carved by erosion. David Fasold measured it in the 1980s, called it a fossilized deck, then later dismissed the ark theory himself. Now a Sivas Cumhuriyet University team, with Turkish government approval, has run the first real core drill into it. Andrew Jones says the biggest early finding is that the formation is soil, not a solid rock mass worn into a ship shape. Radar work has picked up right angles, possible tunnels, and voids a few meters down. Earlier soil tests found about three times more organic matter inside the outline than on the hillside next to it. The samples are headed to labs in Ankara. A full report is not…

A FlyDubai jet full of Israelis was supposed to land in Tel Aviv. The co-pilot stabbed the captain instead. The plane plunged thousands of feet. Passengers had to break into the cockpit to stop it. Wednesday morning, FlyDubai flight FZ1073 left Dubai for Tel Aviv with about 174 people on board, most of them Israelis. At cruise altitude, near 34,000 feet, the co-pilot stabbed Captain Smit Machchhar. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the attacker apparently tried to crash the plane with the passengers on board. The Boeing 737 dropped thousands of feet — some flight data put the fall around 17,000 to 18,000 feet — sent a 7700 emergency squawk, and turned for Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Israeli fighter jets were scrambled. Airspace was briefly closed. A man trusted with the controls of a commercial flight to Israel allegedly used that access to try to kill the people in the back. Pat also covered: Trump says the last U.S. troops are out of Iraq. The Pentagon calls the Erbil pullout done, and Trump brands the war a…

Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer just stood in a Plymouth courtroom and asked the judge where the evidence is that she killed her three children. Cora was 5. Dawson was 3. Callan was 8 months. In January 2023 their father, Patrick Clancy, came home from errands and found them on the basement floor with exercise bands around their necks. Lindsay Clancy was in the yard after jumping from a second-floor window. She was charged with three counts of first-degree murder. At trial the defense was not criminally responsible — postpartum psychosis, a voice telling her to kill the children and herself — because the judge would not split guilt from insanity. Kevin Reddington said it himself: they had to admit culpability to raise criminal responsibility. A six-week trial ended September 4 in a mistrial after the jury hung. On September 29 he flipped. “Where is the evidence that she did this?” No real investigation, he said. Speculation. She was told what happened. She had no memory. Prosecutor Shanan Buckingham called that…

AOC stood in front of a packed New York hall and told the room ICE is Palantir, ICE is AI, ICE is facial recognition, ICE is surveillance, and ICE is coming after you regardless of your status. This was not a gaffe. At a Students vs. Billionaires town hall in Ithaca, in front of more than 1,000 people, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for abolishing ICE and framed the agency as a post-9/11 surveillance-state shop tied to private contractors, not ordinary law enforcement. She named Palantir. She brought up facial recognition. She said ICE is going after every man, woman, and child because detention company CEOs have profits to post at the end of the quarter. Then she aimed it at the crowd: coming after you, status or not. That is the Democrats' save-immigration push heading into the midterms. Not a fight about the border. A scare pitch that turns immigration enforcement into a dragnet aimed at citizens, so that the people who actually entered illegally drop out of the story. "Regardless of your status" is the…

James Talarico just posted a slick little video: He "dialed" Ken Paxton’s cell and invited him to a Fox News debate. Paxton didn’t pick up. The clip took off. Fair enough — it’s good campaign theater. It does not reset the record on how Talarico talks about Christianity and Christian Texas. He’s a Presbyterian seminarian running for U.S. Senate, and for years, he has drawn a hard line between his faith and the faith of the people who actually fill Texas pews. He has called Christian nationalism heretical, unbiblical, a cancer, and a betrayal of Jesus. He has described himself as a Christian who hates Christianity. On the Texas House floor in 2021 he told colleagues “God is nonbinary” while fighting a girls’ sports bill. He has used Gabriel's and Mary’s “consent” as a theological case for abortion. He has said God is not a Christian. Pat also covered: Tucker just called on Trump’s own Cabinet to 25th-Amendment him over Iran — not impeach him. Remove him.

Trump just hosted Xi Jinping at the White House like it was a friendship tour. Bald eagle sculpture at dinner. Invitation to walk the unfinished ballroom. Granite helipad. Marine One. Fighter jets and a B-2 overhead. A photo of the two of them already hanging in the West Wing. This is the first White House meeting between the two men. Trump greeted Xi at Andrews, showed him the renovations, cracked the Biden autopen bit, and talked “mutual respect.” Xi talked market access for Chinese cars and “partnership” on advanced AI chips. Two pandas are headed to Atlanta. Tech names were on the dinner list. What you did not get was a public answer on the fentanyl pipeline that has killed about 488,000 Americans in a decade, on Taiwan, or on imprisoned publisher Jimmy Lai. If this is “America First” diplomacy, you should be able to see the trade. If it’s just the show, you should be able to say that too.

James Talarico wants Texas evangelicals to treat him like a brother in the faith. His own pastor just told a hidden camera they are “not that smart.” Blaze News obtained footage of Rev. Jim Rigby — the Austin Presbyterian who Talarico has called one of the biggest influences on him “as a Christian, as a human being,” and “my pastor in every sense of the word.” Asked what’s wrong with evangelical Christians, Rigby guessed they lack abstract thinking. He said they panic when “liberal stuff” and human rights are put in front of them. Then he went further: “What Hitler did and what Trump is doing is play off of that.” He waved off hell, angels, and demons as the kind of belief that keeps people from staying rational. Talarico has fought to keep the Bible out of Texas classrooms, used Scripture to defend abortion, voted against protecting kids from sex-rejection surgeries, and once described himself as “a Christian who hates Christianity.” If the man shaping Talarico’s theology thinks Bible-believing Texans are…

Trump didn’t give the United Nations a therapy session. He gave it a choice on Iran: a deal that lets the country rebuild, or annihilate the Islamic Republic and do it quickly. Most of Tehran’s delegation walked out. One seat stayed. That is the speech. Not a press-release peace process. A president standing in the General Assembly and asking whether you let a regime that has spent years killing and exporting chaos get another rebuild — or you end the unfinished business. He called Iran the bully of the Middle East that isn’t a bully anymore. He said he believes a deal comes after the midterms because the Iranian regime is waiting to see how he does — and then reminded the regime he is not on the ballot. If you have watched years of U.N. speeches that never name the problem, this one will feel different. The walkout is the tell. So is the line about driving them into hell with no chance of survival if they refuse a real end. Pat also covered: Cuba walks out after Trump brands it a failed state that “will…

Zohran Mamdani is at it again. Days before Benjamin Netanyahu is in New York for the U.N., the mayor of New York City called the Israeli prime minister a war criminal and an “architect of a horrific genocide” and said he should be arrested if he sets foot in the city. Pat Gray has heard enough of that script. On this episode of "Pat Gray Unleashed," he takes the Mamdani remarks head-on, then does what the sloganeers never do: He runs the history. How Israel was founded. What the wars actually were. Who started them. What “from the river to the sea” has always meant. And why pinning “genocide” on the Jewish state while ignoring October 7, Hamas, and every rejected peace offer is not moral clarity — it’s a rewrite. If you are tired of watching American politicians treat Israel as the villain and treat Jewish self-defense as a crime, this is the hour that puts the record back on the table. No campus chant. No U.N. talking point. Just the timeline and the double standard. Pat also covered: Vance calls it the…

Trump just put the Iran question on the table in language nobody in Washington wanted on tape: “When do I blow the entire nation up?” The options he named are not think-tank fog. Make a deal. Let Iran rot under the naval blockade. Or wipe the regime out. Last week, he told Axios a big decision was coming on whether to annihilate Iran’s government. Now he’s saying very big things are coming in the not-so-distant future — and he cut Camp David short, coming back to the White House a day early to sit with it. Iranian officials are headed to New York for the U.N. General Assembly. Trump says he’d probably be open to meeting President Masoud Pezeshkian. He also says Tehran keeps sending people who cannot close a deal, and some of them are “hiding like rats.” Meanwhile the blockade is still squeezing a battered economy, CENTCOM has escorted a billion barrels of crude through the Strait of Hormuz, Houthis fired a ballistic missile toward Riyadh, and the State Department quietly warned Americans about sudden…

Mamdani just sued the Trump administration over green cards and welfare — and he said people could die if the rule stands. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, with Letitia James and a stack of blue-city mayors, is in federal court to block the public charge rule. Starting now, immigration officers can weigh SNAP, Medicaid, and other benefits when deciding who gets a green card. The administration’s point is simple and old: People coming here should be able to support themselves. Mamdani’s point is the opposite. He says up to four million people could unenroll from health coverage — including 1.8 million children — and that premature deaths in New York immigrant communities could jump. He called the rule vague, cruel, and a century of law thrown out.

A GOP senator leaned over and told Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) how to vote. The clerk still couldn’t hear him. This is day three back for an 84-year-old senator after more than 90 days away — a fall, pneumonia, two months in the hospital, and a wheelchair through the Capitol. The Senate Agriculture Committee had already stalled the farm bill without him. On Wednesday, they needed that vote. So they brought him in, called his name, and the country watched Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) lean in with “no” while McConnell quietly said “aye,” then had to say it again louder because nobody caught it the first time. The bill cleared 12-11, party lines. The question is why Republicans keep pretending this is just a tough recovery and not a fitness problem. If a Democrat this frail needed a neighbor to coach a roll call, this network would not be told to look away. Farm policy, nutrition fights, and a chamber that already runs on people who should have gone home years ago — and the party of “common sense” wheels a man in…

James Talarico was asked one question at a Texas campaign stop: Who’s your favorite drag queen in the state? He didn’t hesitate. “Oh my gosh. Probably Alyssa Edwards.” Watch the clip. Then ask yourself if that’s the reflex you want in a U.S. senator. Most Americans could not name a drag queen if you handed them a week. The Democratic Senate nominee in Texas had a name in under a second — and he smiled when he said it. The performer he picked, Alyssa Edwards, has described himself as a drag performer who works with children. That sits on top of Talarico’s own 2023 line that Texas produces some of the best drag queens in the nation. Ken Paxton, his Republican opponent, asked the question a lot of regular people asked after the clip hit: What normal person can name his favorite drag queen this quickly? Paxton called him too weird and too radical for Texas. Pat also covered: McConnell was out three months — and he’s missing again. Does he show up today for the farm bill? Talarico calls himself a Christian…

Mitch McConnell just rolled back into the Senate after three months away. The Kentucky Republican is 84. He fell at his Washington home in June, was treated for pneumonia, spent two months between the hospital and rehab, then recovered at home with almost no public appearances. While Kentucky still counted him as its senator, he missed 60 recorded votes — judicial confirmations, housing and Medicare rules, immigration procedures, and votes tied to the war in Iran. On Monday, he arrived in a wheelchair, joked about dodging reporters for two decades, and said it was time to get back to work and finish the job of this Congress. He says he’s not quite at 100% and that childhood polio made the recovery harder. This is not a sentimental homecoming. It’s what a razor-thin Senate looks like when an 84-year-old former leader can disappear for 90 days and still be the vote the conference needs. If showing up is optional for the people writing the laws, don’t be shocked when the country starts treating the job the same…

James Talarico thought he had Ken Paxton in a box. After GOP Railroad Commission of Texas nominee Bo French posted a photo from the UT student section and said the problem in Texas is “far worse than anyone imagined,” Talarico quoted John Cornyn and went straight at Paxton: Condemn this “blatant racism,” or “cower to extremists.” Paxton didn’t take the bait. He condemned racism — then pointed at Talarico’s own record. White men as America’s top terror threat. Praying to overcome his own “whiteness.” The substance underneath it is the part polite Texas will not say out loud: Generations of Texans poured money into UT, H-1B pressure at public universities is a live fight, Abbott already told state campuses to pause new H-1Bs, and a lot of families believe Texas kids are losing ground at the school their taxes built. You can argue about the photo. You cannot pretend the enrollment fight is a hallucination. Pat also covered: CIA and 9/11: Did the agency have a shot to stop it — and miss? Abbott and Paxton: Is…

Twenty-five years later, one lab three miles from Ground Zero is still identifying 9/11 victims. The lab promised the families it would never give up — and it hasn't. Mark Desire and the NYC medical examiner team are still pulling DNA from tiny bone fragments that the fire, jet fuel, and water nearly destroyed. Last month, the team identified the 1,651st victim. Nearly 7,000 pieces still have no match. The team has gone back to the same bones 10 times, waiting for the science to catch up. A firefighter’s helmet went home. The man who wore it has not. This is what “never forget” looks like when the cameras leave: a sterilized room, a shredded jacket from the day the towers fell, and a vow that did not expire. Pat also covered: GOP midterm convention is over — was Dallas a JD Vance coronation? George W.

Trump just put a $5,000 check on the midterms. He told the 2026 Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas that if the GOP holds the House and the Senate, every adult citizen gets a “Trump dividend.” He framed it like a company paying shareholders after “tremendous economic success,” and he told the crowd to pretend he’s on the ballot so he can finish the job. Keep the majority, he said, and the next two years include voter ID, energy production, permanent cuts on tips, overtime, and Social Security, plus bills on surprise medical billing, hospital prices, credit-card swipe fees, cashless bail, and the death penalty for large-scale drug dealers. Lose it, and he warned the border, the tax cuts, and the safety go with it. The Post notes the payout would add more than $1.2 trillion to a $40 trillion national debt — and earlier tariff-and-DOGE dividend ideas never landed. The full episode unpacks the speech and the price tag. Pat also covered: James Talarico just told Fox he “missed the mark” on six sexes — now he…

Families of 9/11 just walked a petition into New York City Hall asking Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) to stay away from Friday’s 25th anniversary memorial. More than a dozen relatives of the dead stood on the steps and said the mayor’s presence turns a private hour of grief into a political photo. The Change.org petition started by Giovanni Galante — whose wife, Grace, was killed in the attacks — now has more than 102,000 signatures. They asked for one window: 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the National September 11 Memorial, where the names of 2,983 victims will be read. Mamdani has said he will be there. Cheri Sparacio, who lost her husband, Tom, on the 84th floor of the South Tower, put the line where families want it: “It’s not about his religion or where he came from. It’s about the policies he has today.” They pointed to his chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem, who represented an Al-Qaeda terrorist held at Guantánamo. Charles Wolf said Giuliani and Pataki held their hands after the attacks. “Mayor Mamdani has not shown any of…

Rudy Giuliani just told Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) to skip this week’s 9/11 memorials: “It offends me.” Watch this before Friday’s ceremony and decide if America’s mayor is out of line — or saying what the families have been saying for months. It is the 25th anniversary. More than 2,700 people were murdered in New York that morning. Giuliani was the mayor who walked the pile. The man in that office now says he will stand at Ground Zero anyway. Giuliani, former Gov. George Pataki, and a petition that has cleared 100,000 signatures are telling him to stay home. This is not a manners debate. Pataki named the problem: Anyone who will not distance himself from Hasan Piker — who said America deserved September 11 — should not be there. Anyone who has refused to reject “globalize the intifada,” which Pataki says is a call for violence against Jews anywhere in the world, should not be at that site. Giuliani went further. The ceremony, he said, is for the families and for America to remember historically. Having lost…

Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer just said the quiet part out loud. After six days and about 36 hours, the jury is still stuck — and Kevin Reddington says one juror “refuses to listen to the law.” The judge even framed it as one juror against the other 11. That is 11-1. Watch this first. Twice the panel told Judge William Sullivan they could not agree. He sent them back. He read the dynamite charge. Then the forewoman’s note pointed to a holdout who would not follow the reasonable-doubt instruction. Reddington asked the judge to remove that juror. Sullivan said no — he would not “side with one juror or the 11.” He asked each of them if they could follow the law, defined reasonable doubt again, and sent them home for a seventh day.

Rep. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has not been seen in public for 80+ days. The last real update from his office is almost a month old. He has missed 60 Senate votes — Iran war powers, housing, even the confirmation of a new attorney general — while Republicans hang onto a thin majority where every vote is supposed to matter. Pat starts with the question everybody is already asking: Where is Mitch? The Kentucky senator, 84, was rushed to the hospital on June 14. Dispatch audio said first responders treated someone in cardiac arrest and used CPR. Weeks later, his team said it was a fall, that he was briefly unconscious, that it was not a heart attack or a stroke, and that he had mild pneumonia. He left a rehab center on August 6. Since then: two old, smiling photos with Elaine Chao, staffers reading statements at Kentucky events he used to attend, security outside the D.C. townhouse, and no video, no call-in, no proof of life that would settle this. His office is not answering when he comes back on September 14.…

The Lindsay Clancy jury just told the judge they are deadlocked. After nearly 18 hours, they still cannot agree on whether a Massachusetts mother murdered her three children. The judge sent them back in. Pat opened the phones and asked you what you think. Lindsay Clancy is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan. The defense says postpartum psychosis, a pile of psychiatric medications, and a command hallucination. Prosecutors say she planned it: She sent her husband out for a prescription and takeout, then used exercise bands. Supporters in pink shirts showed up arguing that she is sick, not guilty. A hung jury does not settle that fight. It just hands it to the rest of the country. That is why Pat took calls instead of reading another legal explainer. Regular people are not sitting in that Plymouth courtroom. They still have to decide what they believe about responsibility, mental illness, and what we owe three children who never got a vote.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just said the part Canada does not want on loop: You cannot be in a tit for tat with a country 13 times larger than you are. Watch the clip. Then watch what he said next. On CNBC from the G20 in Asheville, Bessent was asked if America is now in a trade war with Canada. He waved it off. Mark Carney, he said, turned a deal into a political shouting match because it helps Carney and the Liberal Party — not Canadian workers. The United States offered what Bessent called the best trade deal of any country on the globe. Carney walked away at the last minute.

Two mothers. Five children. One diagnosis now stands between a crime and a courtroom. A Bronx judge just found Dimone Fleming not responsible for stabbing her 3-year-old and 11-month-old sons in a family shelter. In Massachusetts, a jury is deciding whether Lindsay Clancy was too sick to be guilty after she strangled 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan. Pat puts both cases on the table and asks the question a lot of people only whisper: Why are moms no longer connecting with their kids? Nobody seriously pretends postpartum psychosis is fake. The fight is what comes after — responsibility, culture, family, and whether a country that medicalizes every collapse still knows how to protect children. Pat also covered: Gov.

President Trump just signed an order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America — and he says it’s official, effective immediately. Watch Pat break down the Oval Office map, the jab at Canada, and what the order actually changes. This is the same playbook as the Gulf of America. After talks with Ottawa collapsed, Trump put 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods and said Canadian officials are “nasty people” who charge American farmers 400% tariffs. The order directs Interior to put Lake America on U.S. maps and in the federal naming system. Trump’s claim: The deepest water and most of the volume sit on the American side. He cannot make Canada use the name. Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected it. New York’s governor says the state will not comply. Then Trump floated the next line: With a gulf and a lake, maybe the Atlantic or the Pacific is next.

A chunk of Himalayan ice snapped off at about 17,000 feet and turned into what Nepal’s disaster chief called a “tsunami from the sky.” Watch what happened. Around 8:40 a.m. Wednesday, the collapse smashed into a valley, dammed the Lhende River, then let go. A 33-foot wall of water, mud, and debris tore down the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli. Villages were wiped out. About 25 miles of road and 19 bridges are gone. At least 273 people are dead. More than 1,300 are missing. U.S. Geological Survey first reported a 4.4 earthquake north of Kathmandu, then said the seismic reading was the glacier and the debris flow — no quake. This is not a distant postcard. Nepalese officials say 63 American citizens are among the missing, including a California couple on a Mount Kailash pilgrimage. More than 5,000 army and police are in the search. The full show has the rest of the day’s news. Pat also covered: DFW: record heat, then storms knocking out power Canada’s still banning American alcohol, but why? OB-GYN Noa Sterling is…

Legendary Dolly Parton is gone. She died Tuesday at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, surrounded by loved ones, four days after she was admitted. The type of cancer was not disclosed. Team Dolly said she spent her life putting joy, laughter, hope, and integrity into everything she touched and that her generosity reached people she would never meet. She donated hundreds of millions of books through the Imagination Library. A girl from a two-room cabin in the Smokies who wrote "Jolene" and "9 to 5," and she still wanted to be remembered as the book lady. Pat and the crew take the news the way a lot of regular Americans are taking it: not as another celebrity recap, but as the loss of someone who felt like she belonged to the whole country. The quiet health fight. The nephew who had been asked years ago to record the goodbye. Flags at half-staff. And the part that landed hardest — she kept working, kept joking, and kept mailing books to other people’s children until the end. Pat also covered: Day…

Pat went to Canada and came home with a souvenir that was not on the itinerary. He said it straight: Canadian germs for the win. Yesterday’s show took a sick day with him. He’s back now, and the friendly neighbor routine is getting less friendly by the hour. Watch it. This is the first show back after the trip knocked him off the air. Not a medical special. Not a travel diary. A host who crossed the border, got flattened, missed a Monday, and sat down at the mic anyway.

DFW Airport is moving forward with Islamic foot-washing stations inside Terminal D bathrooms, and the details are out. The privately funded project registers at around $300,000 and puts dedicated Wudu ablution stations in both the men’s and women’s concourse restrooms. Officials say it’s about keeping floors dry and sinks intact after travelers wash their feet in regular fixtures. Completion is targeted for the end of the year.

Original Air Date: April 9th, 2026 During the Pentagon press briefing alongside Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described the two-week ceasefire with Iran as the result of a decisive U.S. military campaign. He stated, “Operation Epic Fury was a historic and overwhelming victory on the battlefield — a capital-V military victory,” claiming it decimated Iran’s missile program, navy, and defense industry, rendering its military “combat-ineffective for years to come.” Hegseth added that “Iran begged for this ceasefire, and we all know it,” asserting the regime was “out of options and out of time.” He emphasized that U.S. forces are “not going anywhere,” saying “we’ll be hanging around” in the region to monitor compliance, ensure that Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon, and remain “prepared to defend, prepared to go on offense,” and “restart at a moment’s notice” if the truce fails. Hegseth noted that “it takes time sometimes for ceasefires to take hold” and framed the pause…

Original Air Date: April 2nd, 2026 The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Trump v. Barbara regarding President Trump's executive order issued on his first day in office, which seeks to limit birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment by denying automatic U.S. citizenship to children born in the United States if their parents are undocumented or present on a temporary basis. Justices from across the ideological spectrum asked pointed questions about the order's interpretation of the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" in the 14th Amendment and whether the executive branch can unilaterally alter long-standing practice and precedent on citizenship. President Trump attended the arguments in person, the first time a sitting president has done so. Lower courts previously blocked the order as unconstitutional. What will the Supreme Court's decision mean for the future of birthright citizenship in the United States? We also cover: • Artemis II successful launch. • U.S. Army helicopter…

Original Air Date: April 1st, 2026 Kristi Noem is speaking out after explosive new allegations claim that her husband, Bryon Noem, has been living a secret double life. Reports say the longtime insurance executive engaged in online chats with women in the “bimbofication” fetish scene. He allegedly shared selfies of himself dressed in pink hot pants and a skin-tight suit, using balloons to create oversized fake breasts with protruding nipples — with his face clearly visible in the photos. Kristi Noem’s representatives stated that she is “devastated” and the entire family was completely “blindsided” by the claims. The family is now asking for privacy and prayers as this shocking story continues to develop. What do you think — private family matters or major public scandals?

Original Air Date: March 31st, 2026 Secretary of War Pete Hegseth held a press conference providing the latest update on the Iran war one month into Operation Epic Fury. Hegseth stated, “Regime change has occurred.” He reported, “The last 24 hours saw the lowest number of enemy missiles and drones fired by Iran. … We recently destroyed another one of their command bunkers. … Just last night, we had 200 dynamic strikes alone.” Hegseth warned, “President Trump will make a deal — he is willing. And the terms of the deal are known to them. If Iran is not willing, then the United States War Department will continue with even more intensity." What will Iran do next?

Original Air Date: March 30th, 2026 In this fresh clip, the man who’s been wrong for three decades is at it again, solemnly declaring that some climate damage is already “not reversible” while warning it’s “probably inevitable that we’re going to see Greenland go and the west Antarctic ice sheet go.” He tells us the world’s shallow coral reef systems are “very much in danger,” so if you want to see them, you’d better “get scuba certified immediately” — right before casually throwing in that New Orleans might need saving too. Gore admits the most dangerous impacts are “still avoidable and preventable” if we just “stop using the sky as an open sewer for this civilization-destroying pollution”… because apparently the same scientists whose 20-year-old doomsday predictions he now calls “dead right” have suddenly nailed it this time. No new data, no evidence, just the same recycled panic, the same furrowed brow, and the same urgent plea to trust him — again. Same Gore, same script, different decade. The ice…

DFW Airport is moving forward with Islamic foot-washing stations inside Terminal D bathrooms, and the details are out. The privately funded project registers at around $300,000 and puts dedicated Wudu ablution stations in both the men’s and women’s concourse restrooms. Officials say it’s about keeping floors dry and sinks intact after travelers wash their feet in regular fixtures. Completion is targeted for the end of the year. Terminal D handles the bulk of international traffic. Similar stations already exist at places like Chicago O’Hare and Houston Bush, and DFW has had limited ablution facilities near its interfaith chapel for years.

Karoline Leavitt is leaving the White House press secretary job at the end of August, just weeks after coming back from maternity leave with her second child. President Trump called her one of his most trusted aides and one of the best press secretaries in the history of the office. She’s 28, the youngest ever to hold the job, and she made it clear she cannot be the mom her two young kids deserve while carrying the nonstop demands of the briefing room. Trump is moving her into a top outside advisory role focused on the midterms and the Republican Party. Names already floating as possible replacements include White House communications director Steven Cheung, a California native and longtime Trump fighter who filled in while she was out. The job has chewed through press secretaries for years. Leavitt lasted through a second pregnancy, a combative media strategy, and constant heat — then chose family.

Wisconsin Democrats just rejected the socialist who wanted to cancel Thanksgiving and abolish the police. David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive and late establishment choice, narrowly beat Francesca Hong by just over 3,200 votes out of more than 787,000 cast. Polls had shown the Democratic Socialist of America member leading by double digits heading into Election Day. Hong, who once posted, “Cancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621,” and declared, “Police exist to uphold white supremacy. Defund then abolish,” had been walking those statements back hard in the final stretch. Critics on both sides warned her past radical comments would hand the governor’s mansion to Republicans in November. Even Bernie Sanders and AOC kept their distance. Crowley positioned himself as the moderate alternative, warning that a lot of people were scared of where the party and the country were headed under candidates like Hong. This primary result is another data point in the ongoing fight over how far left the…

Trump was smuggled off Air Force One in a catering truck and flown out of Turkey on a secret military flight after a credible Iranian threat. You need to see how this actually went down. After the NATO summit in Ankara, cameras caught Trump boarding the older Air Force One. Minutes later, he and several aides stepped into an elevated catering container on the opposite side of the plane, got lowered to the tarmac, and driven over to a smaller C-32A. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth boarded that same secret flight separately so it looked normal. The press and some White House staff sat on the decoy plane with the window shades ordered closed, thinking the president was with them the whole time. The C-32A landed in Britain nine minutes ahead of the decoy. Trump then reappeared on the older jet before switching to the Qatari-gifted plane for the trip home. Intelligence flagged a specific Iranian plot against him. Israel had tipped the U.S. The White House did not deny the operation. Pat also covered: Iran locks…

Abdul El-Sayed got caught on camera saying he “hates Mackinac so much.” Not a joke. Not a throwaway line. Straight hate for one of the most iconic places in Michigan. Mackinac Island is car-free and has horse-drawn carriages, Victorian hotels, fudge shops — the whole deal. A million people visit every year. El-Sayed walked through it during his old governor's run, noted that if he won, it would be the governor’s summer home, and he still couldn’t hide how much he can’t stand it. His response? The most American place in Michigan can’t ban cars. This is the same progressive running for Senate who claims to fight for regular people while openly sneering at a place those people actually love. When candidates talk about your state like it’s beneath them, it tells you everything.

The Right is tearing itself apart over a $20 burrito, while regular Americans are still getting crushed by the cost of living. A college kid told Turning Point USA’s Andrew Kolvet that a burrito shouldn’t cost twenty bucks. That simple complaint set off a full-blown conservative civil war. Ben Shapiro said you’re “doing life wrong” if you pay that much. Marc Thiessen told students to cry him a river. Then Vice President JD Vance jumped in with a fat joke about Thiessen never missing a burrito. Matt Walsh, Sean Davis, and half of conservative Twitter piled on. Meanwhile the actual prices of food, housing, and everything else never came back down after the Biden inflation spike. The rate slowed, but the high prices stuck. Voters handed Republicans the White House and Congress because they were sick of it. Now the same party is busy fighting a proxy war over Chipotle instead of delivering real relief. Tariffs, energy uncertainty, and endless internal drama aren’t helping. The $20 burrito is just the symbol. The…

Abdul El-Sayed just scraped out a razor-thin win in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary, and the establishment is already lining up behind him. This isn’t some mild progressive. We’re talking open socialist policies, calls to treat Israel as an illegal apartheid regime, and a campaign that got a boost from radicals who said America deserved 9/11. The same party that once pretended to be the big tent is now rolling out the red carpet for the red-green alliance of socialists and hard-left extremists. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) went from backing the moderate to praising El-Sayed’s “energetic campaign.” Meanwhile, voices warning about anti-Semitism and anti-American fringe ideas are being shouted down. This isn’t just Michigan. It’s a clear signal that the socialist wing is no longer on the fringe — it is taking the nominations, and the leadership is folding. Regular Americans watching this should understand exactly what it means for the future of the country when the opposition party decides extremism is the new…

You need to see this before Wisconsin decides who runs the state. Francesca Hong, the socialist Democrat front-runner for governor, once called for canceling Thanksgiving as a celebration of colonialism and the “original superspreader event.” When CNN asked her straight up if she still believes that, she couldn’t just say no. Instead she served up nearly a minute of word salad about being a chef, bringing people to the table, and how Thanksgiving is “incredibly painful for many people in our communities.” Views can evolve, she said — while never actually walking it back. This is the same candidate who has also claimed the service industry is rooted in white supremacy and that tipping itself is racist because it has “kept wages low for black people.” Pat also covered: Trump declares he’s done with Iran after the latest attacks.

Trump just gave Iran one last chance before “decapitation” — and the Strait of Hormuz is on the clock. You need to see this before the next move drops. President Trump announced from the Oval Office that he is handing Tehran a final ultimatum after calling off a massive weekend strike. Talks are supposedly under way to fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz as soon as Tuesday, with Gulf allies backing the push. Trump called it the last chance to sign a good deal and avoid leadership-targeted strikes. Iran is already denying direct negotiations with the United States, saying it is only talking with Oman about shipping routes. After more than a dozen previous deadlines and pullbacks since the war started in February, Trump is framing this as different — phase one opens the oil choke point; phase two goes after Iran’s nuclear program. Regular Americans watching gas prices and Middle East chaos need the straight story on whether this ultimatum holds or becomes another delay. Pat also covered: SpaceX rocket set to…

Trump just called off a massive weekend attack on Iran after Gulf allies begged him to stand down, saying a deal was imminent. Now Iran is out here claiming no talks are even planned. President Trump told reporters the strike was ready to go, but Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and even Iran itself asked him to pull back because they thought a deal covering the Strait of Hormuz and the nuclear program was close. He said negotiations were set to begin Monday afternoon. Hours later, Iran’s Foreign Ministry flat-out denied it — no talks scheduled, no negotiators moving, nothing. Iran's foreign minister is conveniently on a pilgrimage and unavailable. Classic. This is the same regime that has been choking global energy markets and racing toward a bomb. Trump is keeping the military option hot while testing whether Iran is serious or just playing the same old game. Regular Americans watching oil prices, Israel’s security, and another endless Middle East mess need to understand what is actually happening here. Pat…

Thousands of migrants just flooded into the Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco in a scene of absolute chaos, and local officials are begging for a national emergency. The border fences totally collapsed as hordes of people, mainly Moroccans, smashed through gates, swam across with inflatable tubes, and poured into the tiny North African enclave. Civil guard officers described the situation as “absolute chaos,” with thousands crossing and at least three people dying in the attempt. Residents locked themselves inside as shops and restaurants shuttered. Spain is now deploying military units, diving teams, and vessels while the interior minister heads to Ceuta. Morocco used tear gas and water cannons, but the surge still overwhelmed both sides. This isn’t new — a similar mass rush hit in 2021 — and the White House is pointing straight at Europe’s far-left globalist policies that enabled it. Regular Americans watching this know exactly what open-border experiments look like when the numbers get real. Mass…
