Israel used its ties to Viktor Orban to lure former Iranian President Ahmadinejad to a fake Budapest climate conference, then planned to bomb his compound, kill his guards, and extract him via a Mossad agent in a Peugeot. The plan collapsed, and Ahmadinejad is now under house arrest.

Tommy walks through the extraordinary story: Israel used its relationship with Viktor Orban to get a Hungarian university to invite Ahmadinejad to a fake climate conference in Budapest, where Israeli operatives could meet him. A parallel meeting was arranged in Guatemala. The extraction plan involved bombing Ahmadinejad's compound, killing his guards, and picking him up in a Peugeot to take him to a safe house — which he quickly abandoned. His Kurdish army backers never materialized. Ben connects Orban's far-right political symbiosis with Netanyahu, noting that Netanyahu's 2009 campaign consultants became Orban's 2010 consultants, and that Orban's allies hired Black Cube — former Mossad operatives — to spy on critics and leak to the Jerusalem Post. The broader lesson: the Mossad's vaunted reputation is for killing, not building. No one in Jerusalem apparently asked the basic question: with what army was Ahmadinejad supposed to take power?
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.
