Third Trump Assassination Attempt | Trump Calls Shooter A Liberal | The Math On Gun Laws#1746
A man walked into the Washington Hilton with guns, a shotgun, and knives. A Secret Service agent got shot. Trump said the system worked. It did not. In this episode: 🔫 A man smuggled weapons into the hotel hosting the White House Correspondents' Dinner and opened fire on a screening area — the third attempt on Trump's life in under two years 🦺 One Secret Service agent was shot in the chest. He survived because of a bulletproof vest. The Trump administration called that a success. 🚂 Trump's read on the shooter: he's a "liberal" — because he traveled to Washington by Amtrak. 🤡 250 heavily armed "good guys with guns," helicopters, drones, magnetometers — and one man still got through. The Uvalde school had 376 officers. 19 children still died. 📊 45,000 Americans died from gun violence last year. The United Kingdom had 46 gun deaths total. We are not more mentally ill. We just have more guns. 🔒 Federal law bars undocumented immigrants from buying firearms. They commit homicide at half the rate of US-born citizens. That is what gun laws do. That is the proof. 🧠 Mental illness is not the cause. The gun industry invented that story — same playbook as Big Tobacco. Same result. 🎪 Kash Patel vomits on Wolf Blitzer's shoes. Pete Hegseth misfires. JD Vance eats. RFK Jr. brings the bear cub meat. Key figures: Donald Trump, Kash Patel, Pete Hegseth, JD Vance, RFK Jr., Cole Thomas Allen, Steven Miller, Caroline Leavitt

The Self Hatred Driving Pete Hegseth, Lindsey Graham and Kash Patel Towards Alcohol #1745

Lebanon and Israel hold direct talks in Washington; Hezbollah says they won’t honor any agreement. David also covers: • The world’s largest condom maker raising prices 30% because of the Iran war (“I call five billion condoms a good weekend”) • UK bans smoking for anyone born after 2009 • RFK Jr. blocking a CDC study showing COVID vaccines cut ER visits in half • The full Afghanistan betrayal: interpreters who risked everything for America now being shipped to the Democratic Republic of Congo by Trump • Southern Poverty Law Center indicted by Trump’s DOJ right after they labeled Turning Point USA a far-right extremist group tied to hate groups • Trump reading the Old Testament in the Oval Office (not the Jesus parts) • Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon purge, Hung Cao’s Christian nationalist comments, Kash Patel’s drinking scandals, and Lindsey Graham’s alleged drinking problem • MAGA’s “heritage American” obsession vs. Kash Patel, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Usha Vance’s birthright citizenship • 2026 midterm outlook: Congress at 10% approval, massive gerrymandering wars in Virginia, California, Texas, and a looming Supreme Court Voting Rights Act case Dark humor, zero filter, three hours of unvarnished truth.

Hormuz Double Blockade, JD Vance Islamabad Chaos, and Kash Patel FBI Meltdown #1743
Trump’s self-inflicted Iran nightmare won't end as the Strait of Hormuz stays shut, gas prices explode to $6–$7 a gallon, and the world economy heads for stagflation. With just 72 hours left before the ceasefire expires, Trump flip-flops on peace talks in Islamabad (JD Vance is going… he’s not… he is… he isn't for “security reasons”), threatens war crimes, and realizes he’s a cornered rat who can’t reopen Hormuz no matter how many $1 trillion bombs he buys. Plus: • Lindsey Graham’s unhinged call to send American troops to die on Kharg Island (“We did Iwo Jima!”) • Texas Rep. Pat Fallon’s toupee and his “boots on the ground” fantasy • The kill-box geography lesson proving why the U.S. Navy is powerless against Iran’s asymmetrical warfare • The White House drunk tank: Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel’s latest paranoid meltdown, and FBI lie-detector drama It’s all here—Trump’s chaos, your higher gas bill, and the global chokehold that could cause a recession, hunger for 45 million people, and Europe running out of jet fuel by June.

Trump Chokes the World's Oil Supply & MAGA Calls Him the Anti-Christ #1741

Trump Chokes the World's Oil Supply & MAGA Calls Him the Anti-Christ #1741
Trump's Hormuz blockade sparks global recession warnings — and MAGA is now calling him the Anti-Christ. Tonight on The Mop-Up. The Strait of Hormuz blockade is the dumbest and most dangerous thing a sitting U.S. president has ever done. Twenty percent of the world's oil moves through that channel. Saudi Arabia is nervous. The IMF is warning of a global recession. There is no military solution — only damage control for a catastrophe Trump created, ignored every warning about, and now can't walk back without looking weak. In Texas, Republicans have found a new group to hate. Running against immigrants doesn't poll the way it used to — border crossings are at a record low — so the party consciously pivoted to Muslims. This isn't an accident. It's a strategy. The "Epic City" panic, manufactured by men like Brandon Gill and amplified by Greg Abbott, is Exhibit A in how Republican politics manufactures enemies to win primaries. Pete Hegseth's pastor wants a Christian theocracy. Doug Wilson has already built one in Idaho. And Elbridge Colby told the Vatican to fall in line behind U.S. military power. The party that claims to love Jesus has clearly never read the Sermon on the Mount. Oh, and *Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nick Fuentes, and the specter of Jared Kushner's 666 Fifth Avenue building* have convinced a growing slice of MAGA that Donald Trump is literally the Anti-Christ. In this episode: 🛢️ Trump's Strait of Hormuz blockade — what it actually means for the world 🌍 China, Saudi Arabia, and the IMF push back 🇮🇷 Israel bombs Iran; Lebanon peace talks go nowhere 🏛️ Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzalez resign — what it does to the House majority 🕌 Texas Republicans' manufactured war on Muslims and the "Epic City" hoax ✝️ Pete Hegseth, Doug Wilson, and the Christian nationalist theocracy project 👿 Tucker, MTG, Nick Fuentes, and Jared Kushner's 666 building — MAGA calls Trump the Anti-Christ ⚖️ U.S. international law hypocrisy: from Haiphong Harbor to Nicaragua to Hormuz Key figures covered: Donald Trump • Pete Hegseth • Tucker Carlson • Marjorie Taylor Greene • Jared Kushner • Brandon Gill • Greg Abbott • Doug Wilson • Pope Leo • Marco Rubio • Xi Jinping • MBS • Elbridge Colby • Eric Swalwell • Tony Gonzalez • Hezbollah

Trump LITERALLY Broke the Planet: The Hormuz Quagmire, Viktor Orbán Not The Victor & Swalwell Out #1740
🚨Breaking News: From Hungary: Viktor Orbán not the VICTOR getting decisively defeated after 16 years in power. His party suffered a landslide loss to Peter Magyar and the Tisza Party, which is on track for a two-thirds constitutional majority. Historic voter turnout exceeded 77%. This is a major blow to Donald Trump, who actively campaigned for Orbán alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance. Orbán’s fall also deprives Vladimir Putin of his strongest ally inside the European Union. PLUS The failed peace negotiations with Iran in Pakistan. JD Vance returns empty-handed as Trump and Pete Hegseth’s approach collapses amid the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz and escalating tensions with Israel and Hezbollah. Also covered: 👉🏽 Eric Swalwell’s rapid political downfall amid sexual assault allegations 👉🏽 Mark Carney’s extravagant taxpayer-funded plane catering bills in Canada 👉🏽 Kamala Harris testing the waters for 2028 👉🏽 The bizarre scandal surrounding Kristi Noem’s husband 🎥 Recorded live from New York City.

Trump Boasted Total Air Superiority: Then Iran Shot Down TWO US Jets #1737
Donald Trump claims we have "total air superiority" over Iran. Pete Hegseth calls our military operations "flawless." But the reality is an F-15 and an A-10 Warthog smoking in the Iranian desert on Friday. How did two of our most advanced jets get swatted out of the sky by a "decimated" enemy? Welcome to The Mop-Up. While Pete Hegseth is busy holding Protestant-only prayer services at the Pentagon and asking for "divine wrath," the actual US military is burning through 25% of our Tomahawk missile stockpile in just five weeks. It takes two years to restock. Do the math. We aren't just losing the hardware; we’re losing the moral high ground. US troops are being pulled off airbases and blended into civilian populations — a move that, by any other name, is using human shields. Meanwhile, Trump is proposing a $1.5 trillion military budget to build "Trump Class Battle Ships" while gutting FEMA, education, and disease research. The Pope is calling for a ceasefire. Our allies in Europe and Japan are cutting their own deals with Tehran. We are isolated, overextended, and led by a man who thinks prayer is a substitute for a flight plan. In this episode: • The F-15 and A-10 Takedowns – What really happened in the skies over Iran. • Stockpile Collapse – Why we’re running out of Tomahawks faster than we can build them. • Human Shields – The Pentagon’s new strategy of embedding troops in civilian centers. • The $1.5T Grift – Who loses their social safety net to pay for "Trump Class Battle Ships." • International Breakaway – Why the world is leaving Washington behind.

Pete Hegseth’s Deadly Crusade: Why The Pope Is Calling It A Sin #1734

Pete Hegseth’s Deadly Crusade: Why The Pope Is Calling It A Sin #1734
"God does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war. He rejects them." When the Pope issues a direct condemnation of a sitting U.S. Defense Secretary, we aren't just talking about policy failure — we’re talking moral apocalypse. Pete Hegseth isn’t just running a war; he’s leading a Middle Eastern crusade, complete with his "Deus Vult" ink to prove it. But what happens when the "Holy War" you’ve been praying for finally arrives, and you're losing? In this episode, we expose the rot that is Christian Nationalism. The Vatican’s Rebuke: Why Pope Leo just stripped the moral cover off Hegseth’s "Operation Epic Fury." ⛪ The "Deus Vult" Pentagon: Inside Hegseth's Christian Nationalist monthly prayer service and the "Christian-based culture" being forced on our military in violation of the First Amendment. 🏛️ The "Sharia Free" Inquisitors: How a fringe caucus inside the House is redefining religious freedom as "Christian supremacy." ⚖️ The Apocalyptic Grift: Is this about national security, or is it a "Final Battle" fantasy being played out with your children’s lives? 🕊️ This isn't just about Christian Nationalism ; it’s about a government trading its constitutional soul for a seat at the "Crusader" table.

Day 30. 2,000 tankers trapped in the Persian Gulf. Oil at $107. Gas at $5. Trump says we're winning. Iran has launched 79 waves of strikes. We've dropped 10,000 bombs and we're running out of them. Putin is selling oil at a premium. Exxon just posted record profits. Congress is being handed a $200 billion tab. Nobody voted for this. Everybody's paying for it. This is The Mop-Up.

Iran Rejected Trump's Peace. Oil Spiked. And Democrats Just Flipped Palm Beach Blue #1732

Iran Rejected Trump's Peace. Oil Spiked. And Democrats Just Flipped Palm Beach Blue #1732
Trump sent Iran a peace proposal. Iran sent it back. Meanwhile, 50,000 American soldiers are in harm's way, oil barrels hit $101, and only 12% of Americans support boots on the ground. Trump has no exit. The strait of hormuz is shut because it's a kill box for any military solution. But here's what the war coverage is burying: Democrats just flipped Trump's home district in Florida by 22 points. That's 115 special elections since November 2024 — Democrats flipped 12 seats, Republicans flipped zero. The midterms are happening right now. Plus: Markwayne Mullin just got confirmed as DHS Director while owning stock in companies that do business with the agency he now runs. That's not a conflict of interest. That's a business model.
