Victor Marks, a Marine Corps veteran and political outsider with a large social media following, narrowly won the Colorado Republican gubernatorial primary by just 2,515 votes. He calls himself a 'high risk humanitarian' and has made controversial claims about saving hostages and a childhood homicide incident — all disputed by opponents.

The war in Iran isn't just a geopolitical story — it's showing up in corporate earnings. Reporter Pierre Salinas breaks down PepsiCo's March-June quarter, which was shaped by gas price volatility the company calls 'meaningful' [1] — Pierre Salinas "The US-Iran war's gas price swings are showing up in PepsiCo's quarterly results. North American food sales stagnated and drink sales fell …" 02:06 . The hardest-hit channel is an almost poetic one: gas stations and convenience stores, where Americans used to reflexively grab a Gatorade or a bag of Lay's while filling up. Now they're not. Globally, PepsiCo is still growing, but North American food sales have flatlined and drink sales have actually fallen — the worst possible headline for a company that spent the previous quarter cutting prices to recapture budget-stretched shoppers. PepsiCo is now betting that gas prices will ease in the second half of the year, a forecast entirely dependent on the trajectory of a war.
PepsiCo reported that North American food sales were stagnant and drink sales actually declined as rising gas prices from the US-Iran war tightened consumer budgets more than expected.
PepsiCo executives said big swings in gas prices caused by the US-Iran war had a 'meaningful' impact on sales, especially at gas stations and convenience stores where impulse purchases dropped.
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.
