In part two of my trip to Washington for the MAHA Summit, I sit down with Dr. Oz and senior CMS leadership to talk about America's chronic disease crisis, obesity, Medicaid and Medicare, the potential — and dangers — of AI in healthcare, and the battle against fraud and waste across the system. We also get into the bigger question at the heart of MAHA: can government, technology and public health actually be rebuilt around prevention, trust and helping people get healthier rather than simply managing sickness?

Benjamin Netanyahu is back in the spotlight after a 60 Minutes interview clip resurfaces in which he holds up a smartphone and warns that digital platforms can be used to "penetrate" people's information environment and repeatedly portray someone as a monster. We look at what he was actually arguing about propaganda and social media, alongside the latest Lindsay Clancy developments as the lone holdout juror breaks his silence and her lawyer shifts strategy ahead of a possible retrial. We also turn to Britain, where Prime Minister Andy Burnham uses his Labour conference speech to promise a new national direction and defend the future of the United Kingdom. I'm joined by Dustin Tavella, magician, storyteller and winner of Season 16 of America's Got Talent. Dustin's performances combine close-up magic, storytelling, faith and family — and today he's bringing some of that magic into the studio for us. Beyond the stage, his life has taken him through music, youth work, adoption and humanitarian work, giving his performances a much more personal edge than the usual magician's act.

Donald Trump arrives at the United Nations with a major announcement on Greenland, unveiling a new security agreement with Denmark and Greenland that expands America's military presence across the island and blocks non-NATO states from establishing military installations there. We look at what Trump's Greenland deal means for the Arctic, NATO and America's confrontation with Russia and China — and the peculiar spectacle of Trump using the UN stage to strengthen U.S. power while attacking the very global institutions gathered around him. I'm joined by my friends Chris and Jackie Laidlaw, authors of Mirror Me. Drawing on their own experiences with sobriety, ADHD, codependency and parenting, they talk candidly about emotional sobriety, intimacy, forgiveness, taking responsibility for your triggers and learning to replace control with self-reflection inside a marriage and family. Get their book Mirror Me: The Art of Self-Reflection - https://bit.ly/mirrormebook Andrew Wakefield also returns for the second part of our conversation. The former gastroenterologist and researcher became one of the most controversial figures in modern medicine through his work around MMR, bowel disease and autism. He recounts how parents' concerns drew him into vaccine-safety research, the resistance he says he encountered within the medical establishment, and why he continued pursuing those questions despite the personal and professional consequences.

Britain's political identity is shifting in increasingly strange directions. Pubgoers can now use digital ID on their phones to prove their age when buying alcohol, while the leaders of the SNP, Plaid Cymru and Sinn Féin have joined together around the principle of national self-determination and closer ties with Europe. Meanwhile, Green Party leader Zack Polanski is campaigning in Urdu as he fights for Keir Starmer's former seat in Holborn and St Pancras. I'm joined by Dr. Eric Berg, chiropractor, health educator and author whose work focuses on nutrition, metabolism and the environmental forces that shape our health. His new book, Change Your Environment, argues that lasting change isn't simply a matter of willpower — our food, light, technology, routines and surroundings can quietly influence everything from our habits and energy to the way our bodies function.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we revisit the questions, controversies and unanswered claims that still surround that day — from Building 7, the Pentagon and the money trail to the families still demanding answers. We also look at the extraordinary new release of 170,000 9/11-related documents in New York, including records connected to Building 7, and Jon Stewart's response to newly released air-quality records that appear to confirm what first responders and New Yorkers had suspected for years. I'm also joined by Wendy Backlund, author and speaker with Igniting Hope Ministries. Wendy's work focuses on helping people break free from their past, renew their minds, discover their true identity in Christ and learn to see life from a supernatural perspective. Together with her husband Steve, she helps lead Igniting Hope's message of hope, joy and transformation. Check out Wendy's books: https://amzn.to/4A9Zzsf I'm also joined by Dr. Stella Immanuel, a Cameroonian-American physician, author, pastor and founder of Fire Power Ministries. She rose to national prominence in 2020 through her advocacy of hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 treatment and has long combined her medical work with a ministry focused on prayer, deliverance and spiritual warfare.

Thomas Massie begins naming names from Epstein-related records on the floor of Congress, putting renewed attention on the powerful figures who crossed paths with Jeffrey Epstein. We look at the names being raised, the new details emerging around Epstein's network, and why the full story of who knew him — and what they knew — still refuses to go away. I'm joined by Barbara Georgouse, a Dance Movement Therapist and recovery specialist with more than 30 years of experience helping people reconnect with their bodies and emotions. We discuss movement as a tool for healing, how the body can reveal what the mind is trying to suppress, and Barbara puts us through some simple exercises designed to reduce stress and anxiety. I'm also joined by Christy Anastas, a religious freedom advocate and biblical Hebrew scholar whose family roots stretch back generations in Bethlehem. We discuss growing up in the Holy Land, the pressures facing Christian communities in the Middle East, the Hebrew context of Scripture, and her belief that the Kingdom of God offers a path beyond tribalism toward reconciliation.

Donald Trump has a warning for Canada after Ontario Premier Doug Ford tells him to "kiss my ass," as tensions over the US–Canada trade war continue to escalate. We look at what the latest clash could mean for relations between the two countries, before turning to Britain, where the Home Office has produced a guide for asylum seekers explaining UK laws and customs — including gender equality, domestic abuse, sexual consent, harassment and appropriate behaviour in public. Today I'm joined by Rick the Reptile Guy, star of A&E's Wild Transport and owner of Emerald Coast Zoo, who brings some of his favourite reptiles into the studio and explains the extraordinary story of how his family sold their home, moved into the zoo and dedicated their lives to caring for God's creation. Learn more about Emerald Coast Zoo: https://emeraldcoastzoo.com/ I'm also joined by Tony Cho, regenerative placemaker, author and founder of Future of Cities, to discuss how we can build communities that heal rather than extract. We explore decentralisation, loneliness as a design problem, our disconnection from nature, and his vision for regenerating our cities around nature, culture and genuine human connection.

We look at the extraordinary story of Jason Arday, who went from being unable to speak until the age of 11 and unable to read or write until 18 to becoming one of the youngest Black professors ever appointed at Cambridge — and ask what his journey tells us about education, intelligence and the limits we place on children. Today I'm also joined by Christina Tobin and Ben Peterson. Christina explains why she believes America's two-party system is fundamentally broken, what independent candidates are up against, and whether meaningful electoral reform is possible. Then Ben joins me to discuss his journey from serving in Iraq to working with active-duty military personnel, the crisis of isolation and suicide among service members, and why our growing dependence on technology and AI may be exposing a much deeper spiritual problem.

Today I'm joined by John Franklin and Curtis Hill. John is a former Green Beret who was forced out of the military over the COVID vaccine mandate and is now running for Congress, challenging the Republican establishment on medical freedom, government spending and the concentration of power in Washington. Former Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill joins me to discuss Fauci, the lessons of the COVID era, government overreach, race and policing, his family's extraordinary experience during the civil rights movement — and his unexpected talent for Elvis Presley impressions. Curativa Bay is a veteran-owned American company that has been pioneering stabilized hypochlorous acid (HOCl) technology since 2016 — years before HOCl became a mainstream skincare, disinfectant, and wellness ingredient. Hypochlorous acid is a molecule naturally produced by the body's immune system. Curativa Bay has spent nearly a decade refining stabilized HOCl formulations designed for everyday applications ranging from skincare and wound care to personal hygiene, pet care, and non-toxic home cleaning. The company's focus is simple: purity, science, transparency, and giving families effective alternatives without unnecessary fragrances, dyes, alcohols, phosphates, surfactants, or harsh additives.

Sean Stone returns for the concluding part of our watch-along of Secret Stone, where we pick up immediately after the mysterious technical glitches that interrupted the previous episode. As the film reaches its climax, we examine the most unsettling moments, the strange experiences reported during production, and the conversations they spark about faith, spiritual warfare, the paranormal, and whether some places hold more than memories.

Sean Stone joins me for a watch-along of his film Secret Stone, which documents a series of unsettling experiences that began while exploring abandoned asylums and other forgotten locations.

Sean Stone joins me to discuss his new documentary RFK Legacy, what he learned growing up around Oliver Stone's investigations into American history, and why some stories continue to challenge the official narrative decades later. From there, our conversation expands into Hollywood, propaganda, media, faith, and the responsibility of storytellers in a culture that often rewards distraction over truth. After the interview, I stay with the audience for an informal conversation about prayer, the supernatural, and finding hope in a world that feels increasingly uncertain.
