| 3/10/26 |  Ep. 216 | They Tried to Bomb NYC & the Media Wrote Them a Love Letter | Two Pennsylvania teenagers yelled “Allahu Akbar” and threw a homemade TATP bomb into a crowd in New York City — and the media called it a “normal day gone wrong.” We’re not doing that. This week, Mercedes and Rachel break down the NYC bombing attempt, Mayor Zoram Mamdani’s stunning non-response, and the media’s shameless cover for what’s clearly ISIS-inspired terrorism. Then: the Iran operation’s messaging crisis, the Tomahawk missile question Trump fumbled, and the Iranian women’s soccer team members who risked everything to defect in Australia. Plus — Tucker Carlson’s latest nihilistic spiral, why his rhetoric is drifting somewhere deeply cynical, and what a Republican fundraiser just revealed about 2028. Buckle up. The media is trash, and we have zero tolerance for it.Subscribe nowEpisode HighlightsTwo teenagers attempted a Boston Marathon-style bombing outside the NYC mayor’s home — and one said he wanted a bigger body count. The media ran a sympathetic profile and then deleted it.Mayor Zoram Mamdani opened his press conference talking about Jake Lang and white supremacy — barely mentioning the actual ISIS-sympathizing bombers in his own city.Trump called the Iran conflict “an excursion” and appeared not to know Tomahawk missiles aren’t a generic term — raising serious questions about the girls school bombing.Tucker Carlson’s rhetoric has officially drifted into nihilism territory — repeatedly invoking rape and pillaging as the inevitable outcome of U.S. military action, prompting a sharp breakdown from Mercedes and Rachel.Seven members of the Iranian women’s soccer team were granted asylum in Australia after refusing to sing the national anthem — and risking death for it.At a Republican fundraiser, the crowd reportedly went nearly unanimous for Rubio over Vance when Trump asked who should run in 2028.Follow Us On Youtube!YouTubeHit play, grab your coffee, and catch up on what’s actually happening.

| 3/5/26 |  Ep. 215 | The Democrat's Fake Pastor, Tucker's Holy War & the Saddest Burger Bite in History | Texas just handed Democrats a weapon and they're already using it. James Telerico won the Texas Senate Democrat primary, and the media is rebranding this progressive seminarian as a "moderate Christian" — spoiler: he's neither. We break down his scripture cherry-picking, play the clip of a progressive pastor getting absolutely schooled by a congressman on the Bible she claims to represent, and then turn our attention to Tucker Carlson's increasingly unhinged holy war against Israel — including his claims about the IDF, Chabad, and the third temple. Plus: what the Cornyn-Paxton Senate runoff actually means, why Trump may endorse the "establishment" pick, and the McDonald's CEO who accidentally started a fast food beef by taking the saddest bite of a burger in recorded history.Subscribe nowEpisode HighlightsTexas Runoff Drama: Crenshaw is out, Cornyn and Paxton head to a May 26th runoff — and Trump’s endorsement may hinge on the SAVE Act filibuster dealTelerico’s Fake Christianity: The media’s new “moderate” Democrat winner reinterprets the Annunciation as a consent negotiation and calls God non-binary — we go to the actual textPastor vs. Congress: A progressive “pastor” cited Matthew 25 in her opening statement to a congressional hearing and couldn’t identify the Parable of the Talents when questioned — the full exchange is something elseTucker’s Holy War: Tucker Carlson frames the entire Iran conflict as a Chabad-orchestrated plot to rebuild the Third Temple — we investigate what Chabad actually is and why the comparison to how he treats Hamas is glaringMcDonald’s CEO Breaks the Internet: One tiny, sad, possibly bun-only bite launched a full fast food CEO troll war — and Wendy’s just posted the best fake job listing of 2025Follow Us On Youtube!YouTubeHit play, grab your coffee, and catch up on what’s actually happening.

| 3/3/26 |  Ep. 214 | Operation Epic Fury: What the Media Is Getting Wrong About Iran | Four days into Operation Epic Fury, and the takes are already outpacing the facts. We brought in our foreign policy nerd Amanda Peterson to sit down with Rachel and Meseidy and actually work through what's happening—the US-Israel coordination, the nuclear calculus, what "regime change" realistically means, and whether the administration's messaging is doing them any favors. This is the conversation the podcaster circuit doesn't want to have, because it requires more than 24 hours of thought.Subscribe nowEpisode HighlightsThe wrong question everyone keeps asking about Iran’s nuclear program—and what you should actually be askingWhy the US-Israel military coordination in this operation is unlike anything we’ve seen since World War IIGulf States and even the Palestinian Authority have condemned Iran’s actions—here’s why that mattersMegyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson are saying the exact same thing.

| 2/26/26 |  Ep. 213 | Democrats Refused to Stand for This. America Watched - State of the Union Breakdown | Democrats sat on their hands for veterans, reunited families, and injured little girls — and Trump made sure the whole country saw it. Meseidy and Rachel break down the longest State of the Union in modern history: the viral moments the media buried, the policy wins nobody's talking about, the economic numbers that are actually moving, and why this speech was less about Congress and more about the 2026 midterms.

| 2/24/26 |  Ep. 212 | America Wins Gold, 50 Democrats Bail on the SOTU & AOC's Embarrassing Damage Control | America is riding high — and the left can't stand it. Meseidy and Rachel break down the US Men's Hockey team's stunning overtime gold medal win over Canada, Cash Patel joining the locker room celebration, and why the media immediately tried to turn a national victory into a culture war. Then it's State of the Union prep: 50 Democrats staging a walkout, Joy Reid headlining a counter-rally on the National Mall, and what Trump must say about the economy to keep the midterms from slipping.

| 2/19/26 | Ep. 211 | AOC Froze on Taiwan, Prince Andrew Arrested & Eileen Gu's China Con EXPOSED | Prince Andrew just became the first British royal arrested in 400 years — and it has nothing to do with what the media is telling you. This week, Meseidy and Rachel break down the actual Epstein file charge, AOC’s disastrous Munich Security Conference debut (Spain, Taiwan, and Venezuela — she got zero for three), Marco Rubio’s standing-ovation keynote that’s making people say the quiet part loud about 2028, and the $2.5M con James Telerico just pulled off using a fake FCC censorship story. Plus: Republican midterm strategy is shifting hard to the economy, Democrats are planning to protest the State of the Union, Justice Alito might be heading for the exit, and American-born skier Eileen Gu is skiing for China’s millions while staying conveniently silent on the Uyghur genocide.Substack!

| 2/3/26 |  Ep. 207 | Iran Is Collapsing, China's Getting Our AI Chips, and No One Can Explain Why with Amanda Peterson | Foreign policy expert Amanda Peterson returns to break down the most pressing global developments. With massive protests rocking Iran and a high-stakes meeting in Istanbul this Friday featuring Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, what’s Trump’s endgame? Amanda explains why these protests are different, whether the regime is truly threatened, and what US strikes might actually look like. Then the conversation shifts to China: Why did the Pentagon downgrade Beijing as a threat? And why are we selling H200 AI chips to our biggest competitor? Is this strategic positioning ahead of April trade talks—or something more corrupt? Plus: Are global companies hedging their bets between a “rising” China and a “falling” America?

| 1/29/26 |  Ep. 206 | FBI Raids Fulton County as Preti "Nurse" Narrative Collapses | Tulsi Was There | Tom Homan takes charge in Minneapolis as new video destroys the Alex Preti “peaceful nurse” narrative. We break down the footage showing Preti kicking federal vehicles and spitting at officers just days before the fatal shooting—and why the media won’t touch it. Plus, the FBI just raided Fulton County’s election offices with saws and crowbars, seizing 2020 ballots after years of stonewalling. Why was Tulsi Gabbard lurking in the shadows? Democrats are in full meltdown mode, and Mark Warner is already crying foul. We also discuss nurses gone wild with activist content, MSNow AI-enhanced photos, and a 2010 Obama clip that aged like milk. The Senate budget vote failed, a government shutdown looms, and the narrative is shifting fast.Episode HighlightsHoman takes Minneapolis: Border czar announces targeted operations will continue while roving enforcement scales back—but only if local officials cooperatePreti video drops: Footage from January 13 shows him kicking federal vehicles and spitting at officers, undermining the “innocent nurse” narrativeFulton County raided: FBI seizes 2020 ballots after county ignored multiple DOJ requests—Tulsi Gabbard spotted on-site in all blackNurses gone rogue: Multiple healthcare workers caught posting content about poisoning officers and slipping them laxatives on datesMSNBC’s AI edit: Network caught using digitally enhanced photo of Preti—made him look darker, more handsome, and more fitObama’s immigration take: 2010 clip resurfaces showing him sounding exactly like Trump on border enforcementBudget battle: Senate test vote fails as Democrats push to separate DHS funding from spending billHouskeeping!Starting TOMORROW, January 31, we will be taking the monthly UnFiltered episodes LIVE to our paying subscribers.

| 1/27/26 |  Ep. 205 | Minneapolis Is a Powder Keg—Did Noem Just Make It Worse | The Minneapolis Border Patrol shooting has exposed a coordinated effort to obstruct federal immigration enforcement—and the administration’s response made everything worse. We break down what actually happened to Alex Pretti versus what DHS claimed, why Kristi Noem and Bovino’s press conference was a disaster, and the Signal chat networks organizing real-time interference with ICE operations. Plus: Tom Homan gets deployed to Minnesota, Tim Walz compares law enforcement to Nazis, and why this feels like 2020 all over again. We’re calling it like we see it—even when that means criticizing our own side.Episode HighlightsThe Alex Pretti shooting: What the videos actually show vs. what DHS claimed happenedWhy Bovino and Kristi Noem’s press conference was a catastrophic misrepresentationSignal chat networks exposed: How activists are coordinating to track and obstruct ICE in real timeTom Homan deployed to Minnesota as administration scrambles to course-correctTim Walz invokes Nazi comparisons—and the dangerous permission structure that createsThe 2020 playbook returns: Struggle sessions, emotional manipulation, and demands for public fealtyWhy midterm strategy matters more than ever right nowHouskeeping!Starting Saturday, January 31, we will be taking the monthly UnFiltered episodes LIVE to our paying subscribers.

We also dissect the viral “5-year-old detained” story and show you exactly how the Washington Post is manipulating you with strategic omissions. And yes—there’s a baby boom at the White House.

| 1/20/26 |  Ep. 203 | Protesters Storm Church Mid-Service, DOJ Responds - Minneapolis Is Out of Control | Anti-ICE protesters stormed a Minneapolis church during Sunday worship—and the media wants you focused on everything except what actually happened. This week, we break down the chaos in Minnesota: from the DOJ’s FACE Act investigation to the “rapid response” vigilante networks profiling random citizens as federal agents. We examine the cases making headlines, what’s being left out of the reporting, and why Tim Walz stayed silent for 36 hours. Plus: the legal realities of due process that no one seems to understand, the difference between administrative and judicial warrants, and what happens when governors play chicken with federal law enforcement. One year into Trump’s second term, the battle lines are drawn—and Minneapolis is ground zero.Episode HighlightsDOJ launches investigation into church protest under FACE Act and KKK Act provisionsAnti-ICE “rapid response” networks caught profiling citizens based on appearance and vehicle typeTim Walz’s 36-hour silence—and his contradictory statements on political violenceLegal breakdown: administrative warrants vs. judicial warrants and what due process actually meansMinnesota National Guard on standby as tensions escalate between state and federal authoritiesHouskeeping!Starting Saturday, January 31, we will be taking the monthly UnFiltered episodes LIVE to our paying subscribers.
