After Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Iran's Supreme Leader was 'marked for death,' Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi responded that Trump had committed to 'muzzling its pets in Tel Aviv' — and that Iran would deliver an 'immediate and powerful response' to any threats.

Meiselas ends the episode with three sharp international items. First, Netanyahu's speech declares Lebanon's tragedy is being close to Israel — which Meiselas counters by noting Lebanese people might have a different view after 4,000 deaths and ongoing Israeli presence in the south. Second, Trump ambassador Mike Huckabee's clip shows him welcoming visiting members of Congress by calling Israel 'the 436th congressional district of the United States,' citing 700,000 American residents. Third — and most combustible — Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi responds to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz's statement that Iran's Supreme Leader is 'marked for death' by accusing Trump of committing to 'muzzle its pets in Tel Aviv' and warning of an 'immediate and powerful response' to any threats. Meiselas notes Trump's 'Board of Peace' is also preparing to engage in what he calls further atrocities in Gaza alongside Netanyahu, promising more coverage. He closes with a call to reach 7 million subscribers.
Trump's ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, regularly greets visiting members of Congress by calling Israel 'the 436th congressional district of the United States,' citing 700,000 American residents there. The remark raises obvious questions about dual sovereignty and American foreign policy.
Trump's ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, noted 700,000 Americans live in Israel — enough to constitute a full congressional district — and called Israel 'the 436th congressional district of the U.S.'
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.
