Israel became the first country to establish diplomatic relations with the self-declared state of Somaliland — not out of principle, but for military positioning near Houthi-controlled Yemen. There are also darker reports suggesting Somaliland could be a destination for forcibly displaced Gazans.

Tommy runs through the Colombia result: de la Espriella won 49.66% to Ivan Cepeda's 48.7%, an even slimmer margin than the first round. Tommy plays Trump bragging — without evidence — that his endorsement swung the race, explaining his simple theory that when people like him, they win. De la Espriella has promised jungle mega-prisons modeled on El Salvador's approach, a militarized war on drugs likely coordinated with the US military or Erik Prince–type contractors, and has already filed numerous lawsuits against the press. Outgoing President Petro alleged US and Israeli election interference without providing evidence. Ben argues this isn't really about Trump: there are real security concerns driving voters in Colombia toward authoritarian-leaning candidates, as in Ecuador and El Salvador. But the broader pattern — Bukele changing Colombia's constitution to stay in power, human rights deprioritized, right-wing leaders forming a bloc with Trump — is alarming. [1] — Ben Rhodes "Right-wing candidate Abelardo de la Espriella won Colombia's presidency by less than one percentage point, promising jungle mega-prisons an…" 54:40 Brazil's October election is now the critical test: if Lula loses, left and center-left governments in Latin America will be almost entirely isolated.
Ten years ago, 90% of tech media coverage was relentlessly negative and Kalanick felt he couldn't speak freely. Today, the rise of independent podcasters and Elon Musk buying Twitter has fundamentally changed the game — and it's why he's finally willing to talk.
Kay Classman, 28, was arrested for repeatedly posing as a 16-year-old and enrolling in Bronx high schools across multiple districts. She wasn't a predator — just someone so sad and lonely she wanted her lost childhood back. That's somehow sadder.
Disney, Meta, and Paramount have collectively paid Trump roughly $60 million to settle what Galloway calls nuisance lawsuits — all routed to his presidential library. Newsrooms are folding. The White House is handpicking press pool participants. This is what the end of a free press looks like.
One cheap fake documentary made by a teenager in his mother's basement convinced 16% of Americans that 9/11 was an inside job. Social media didn't invent conspiracy — it just gave it a rocket engine.
A progressive organization with a stated mission to destroy Turning Point USA received millions from ActBlue and is now publicly pushing the narrative that TPUSA insiders and Israel murdered Charlie Kirk. Andrew Wilson traced the network of accounts all amplifying the same conspiracy in perfect unison.
The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
Andrew Wilson publicly offered Candace Owens $300,000 to debate her theory that Israel and TPUSA murdered Charlie Kirk. She refused. He argues that flat-earthers will debate anyone, but Kirk conspiracy theorists won't defend their claims under scrutiny.
Erika Kirk became the CEO of TPUSA while grieving her husband's murder in public, and now faces tens of thousands accusing her of conspiring to kill him. Andrew Wilson calls it mind-boggling psychological torture. The sparklers at the memorial weren't suspicious — they were a grieving widow doing her best in an impossible situation.
Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air. The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
