CIA Director John Ratcliffe visited Havana just days after the Venezuela operation, in which 34 Cuban security officers were killed by Delta Force in seconds. Will Grant showed news of Ratcliffe's visit to a Cuban official and watched him physically turn gray. The message, Grant believes, was simple: you are no military match for us.

Tommy presses Grant on measurable health impacts. Grant acknowledges the Cuban state controls statistics, making reliable data impossible, but describes what he witnessed: hospitals accepting only emergencies during blackouts, a maternity ward running on a large generator for basics, and a pregnant woman he followed whose baby was born in difficult but survivable circumstances thanks to hard-working individual staff. The deeper revelation is about public opinion. For years, Cubans carefully parroted state slogans when journalists put microphones in front of them. Not anymore. Grant describes hearing ordinary Cubans say brazenly that they hope Trump comes in and takes over — not because they love Trump, but because they want whatever this is to be over and want a dignified life for their children. The division is real: old-school revolutionaries are furiously anti-Trump and anti-Rubio; a significant portion of ordinary Cubans have simply lost their fear and want any exit from the current situation [1] — Will Grant "For years, Cubans carefully parroted state slogans to journalists.

For years, Cubans carefully parroted state slogans to journalists. Not anymore. Will Grant says people are now brazenly speaking out — and some are openly saying they hope Trump intervenes and takes over, not out of love for Trump, but out of desperation for any change at all.
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.
