Van Jones just ADMITTED exactly how the Democrats tricked the American people leading up to the midterms. The Democrats needed you to believe that the economy under Trump was historically terrible. So they screamed “affordability” as often as they could. Yes, things were rough. But what they didn’t tell you is that an economic boom was emerging. As @VDHanson explained on my show last week, 165,000 new jobs were just announced. The poverty rate is at an all-time low at 10.2%. The per capita family income is $87,000, a new record. The GDP was just revised at 3.4, and the Atlanta Fed said it’ll be 5 by the end of the year. The stock market was also 20,000 points higher and income was $14,000 higher than it was during the 2022 midterms when Biden stopped the red wave. During that election, inflation was at a record of 9.1% and gas prices were about the same as they are now. That’s the honest truth: Looking at the metrics, Trump’s 2026 economy is BETTER or THE SAME as in 2022 under Biden. But in 2022, the media didn’t focus on the economy. They insisted Biden did a great job getting us out of the COVID era and the high gas prices due to the Ukraine war were worth it. This time around, Van Jones bragged on CNN that a secret operation called the “American Accountability Network” coordinated tens of thousands of real people to blast hundreds of millions of targeted posts across social media to con the American people into believing the economy was in total ruin. And he wanted CNN viewers to know that they shouldn’t be worried: he was “given permission” to reveal this secret weapon! Um, BY WHO? Who told him that it’s okay to reveal and brag about how the Democrats lied to the American people?

Yesterday, I told you to prepare for impact. And if you haven't already, you need to start. Nearly every country country in the West is warning its people to get ready. America isn't going to be the exception. If a crisis hits here or the grid goes dark, nobody from Washington will show up to save you right away. You don't need a bunker or a fortune. But you do need a plan. And this is how you do it.

Democrats have been dropping hints out in the open for months about what they'll do if they sweep the midterms. Now @DataRepublican has uncovered the terrifying strategy. Thousands of internal transcripts and recordings reveal the DSA's operational plan to trigger a "doomsday scenario." They want to manufacture enough street chaos, like we're seeing in France, to force Trump to use the Insurrection Act in 2027. Then, they'll cry "fascism" until they can delegitimize federal authority and hand power to Democratic governors in a color revolution. THIS IS WHAT THEY’VE ALWAYS BEEN PLANNING. Remember when Susan Rice threatened to hold corporations, law firms, and tech companies that cooperated with Trump "accountable" through subpoenas? And Sen. Elissa Slotkin recently admitted she wants to "scare" young professionals by creating "reputational risk" so nobody wants to serve in a conservative administration. They want to set the country on fire until you have no choice but to yield.

The DSA thought nobody would ever connect the dots. They were wrong. What looks like spontaneous activism on our streets and in our culture is an engineered illusion. For decades, mountains of cash have been funnelled through NGOs, charities, and foreign foundations to build an unelected influence machine no politician can compete with. They built an apparatus to control the narrative, power their politicians, and infect our culture with Marxist ideology. The blueprints existed. But tonight, alongside @DataRepublican, we map out the entire machine.

Obama flying into Detroit to rescue Abdul El-Sayed's campaign, whose own sister-in-law was put on a terror watchlist by Obama's FBI, makes a great headline. But that hypocrisy is just the surface. If you want to know who this DSA radical really is, look at the red flags he’s tried to bury. His former head of security, Jordan Domingue, who turned down hush money from El-Sayed’s campaign so he could talk, warned that this movement isn't just progressive politics. He called it an insurgency. And it doesn't end there. Back in 2012, El-Sayed personally signed an open letter urging Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood to "purge the media and the police." That's the real Abdul El-Sayed and I hope Michigan takes notice before it's too late.

I felt evil like I've never felt before while standing on the Temple Mount, especially next to the Dome of the Rock. The Temple Mount was swarming with flies and smelled of urine. The place where the altar would have stood had trash everywhere. When I got too close to the open doors of the Dome of the Rock, two Muslim women sitting there aggressively barked, "No! Back!" at me with pure rage in their eyes. I just wanted to look in. If you are unaware, non-Muslim prayer is forbidden on the Temple Mount. But the evil was so thick that I called my wife over and told her we had to pray right then and there—illegally—just to push back against the oppression in the air. It's sad to see what should be a holy beacon so remarkably abused.

I learned today that we caught the exact moment I heard the news about Charlie Kirk's assassination on tape. Watching it for the first time hit me like a load of bricks. I think we all remember where we were, who we were holding onto, and how the world just stopped in an instant.

Back in 2008, I stood in front of a chalkboard and laid out the Red-Green Alliance, the partnership of Islamists and Marxists to fulfill their common goal of destroying the West. The media called me crazy for saying these two groups would ever work together. Today, with that very alliance winning primaries across the country, the media still refuses to see it. The Washington Post even went as far as to say it’s weird that conservatives mention Islam and Sharia Law more than the DSA when talking about Abdul El-Sayed. I know this MIGHT be hard to understand if you're The Washington Post, but El-Sayed is a perfect example of the Red-Green Alliance. When we talk about Islamism, we’re talking about the DSA. They're one and the same right now.

.@POTUS isn't just reshaping America. He's positioning the entire Western Hemisphere for total self-sufficiency. While past presidents managed our decline, this administration is securing our hemisphere’s own energy, minerals, food, and supply chains so we never have to rely on hostile regimes like China or Iran ever again. GOOD! It’s about time.

If we want young people to buy homes, start businesses, and build families, we have to tackle the student loan trap. The U.S. government has quietly turned itself into the largest predatory lender in the world, raking in nearly $80 billion a year in interest while trapping kids in endless debt cycles. @caroljsroth laid out a common-sense plan that @POTUS could implement to fix this problem basically overnight: “They go after teenagers who aren't old enough to vote or drink alcohol and enable the saddling of tens—sometimes hundreds—of thousands of dollars in debt to transfer wealth wholesale from young people to college administrators. Get the government out of student lending, go back to an underwriting process, and require colleges to be on the hook for at least a portion of it. Make student debt eligible for bankruptcy just like any other personal debt. For existing loans, we need to look at that, and if they've paid in a lot of interest, we need to rejigger that and say, 'We should have counted a portion of this towards your principal.' This would be the lowest-hanging fruit for the president to address young people and say, 'This isn't fair.'"

As we debate whether or not to ban Flock cameras and other constant surveillance devices, here are some steps we can take NOW to make sure they aren't abused: Ban general searches. Every search must name a specific target or plate tied to a warrant. Require cops to have case codes for every search, attaching a verifiable case number to every query so the system knows the difference between an active criminal investigation and an officer looking up his ex-girlfriend. Implement caps on data retention limits so data is only held for days instead of months. And mandate automated system audits that flag unusual search patterns and instantly lock out users who abuse the cameras. If these solutions aren’t in place, we leave open the door for the one thing everyone is worried about: Whoever holds power without accountability will eventually abuse it.

If you drive a diesel truck for work, farming, or ranching, you know the absolute nightmare that forced Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) shutdowns can be. @EPARegion6 Administrator Scott Mason says the EPA has proposed a rule that will completely ELIMINATE this mandatory deratement system and put thousands of dollars back into Americans’ pockets: “Over time, we project that it's going to be over 13 billion in savings… You think about the economy and how it's driven by literally diesel-powered trucks on the interstate system and hauling our food, and our medicine, and our goods. That cost doesn't stay with the trucker. It's always passed down. So if we can save the trucker or the farmer in the field money, we're going to end up saving the American consumer money. It is @POTUS and Administrator @epaleezeldin listening, but also delivering for the American people. What a novel concept, but that's exactly how our Trump administration functions. We listen and we deliver.”

Losing icons like Dolly Parton and Peter Cullen hit me hard this week. Dolly reminded me so much of Charlie Kirk, and Charlie always reminded me of George Washington. And in many ways, Washington was Optimus Prime. They all had a rare, humble spirit that didn't care about self-promotion. Instead, they earned universal respect through pure character and conviction. But when icons like them leave us, we can't just sit back in sorrow. Their deaths are a call for the rest of us to look inside ourselves and say, "I'll step up." Sixteen years ago, I stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and said, "One man can change the world. That man or woman is you." I still believe that to be true today. Somewhere out there right now, there's another Charlie Kirk. There's another Dolly Parton. So, ask yourself this weekend: What can you do to be better, to be more uniting, and to live a life worthy of the same respect these legends earned?

“They can't establish facilities that are exclusively for Muslims. That violates religious clauses in the Constitution.” @GregAbbott_TX gives an update on what’s happening with the Muslim feet-washing stations in Texas airports: "We have announced legal challenges to both DFW Airport and the Houston airport for violating the religious clauses of the Constitution. And there are two different areas of an airport. There's the pre-TSA check-in and then after TSA check-in. If these stations exist before you get to the TSA check-in, that is an area that's governed by the local city. And what I have articulated is any city that provides or continues one of these stations, they're going to have their funding revoked that they get from the State of Texas AND be subject to a lawsuit for religious discrimination by the State of Texas. Once they get past the TSA checkpoint, that's a federal issue. And I have sent a letter to the US Department of Transportation to make sure that they understand the constitutional gravity of this issue, and that they similarly will be taking action in the areas that they are responsible for to make sure these constitutional violations are not taking place."

Thank you, Peter Cullen, for giving us a hero worth looking up to. Your brother was 100% right when he said a leader must "be strong enough to be gentle." Real leadership requires you to have compassion, empathy, and kindness. Or else you're not a leader. You're just a jerk with power. That was the difference between Megatron and Optimus Prime. One was the loudest and toughest guy in the room, but the minute he looked weak, he was in danger of being double crossed. But Optimus stood up for others no matter the cost, so his team stood by him no matter the cost.

Governor @GregAbbott_TX argues that Democrats and the media are leaving out one crucial fact when they try to claim that Texas is finally on the verge of flipping blue: “What some people refer to when they talk about that is the concern about a lot of Californians or a lot of people coming from other states that are changing the voting demographics of the state of Texas. There's a part of that story that most people miss... Every year, there may be close to 100,000 people who are leaving Texas and moving to California. What I know for a fact is there are no businesses that are moving from Texas to California. So these people moving to California are not following their employer; they're choosing California politics over Texas politics. That ipso facto makes them a Democrat. And so what we have, we have a big exchange program going on where there are red conservatives from California moving to Texas, and blue Democrats moving from Texas to California. Yes, Texas is changing, but not to the extent that a lot of people think."

Two days ago: @glennbeck asked President Trump to slash the regulations allowing four corporations to control America’s meat-processing industry. Today: Trump called them a “nasty monopoly” and ordered legal documents drafted to let farmers and ranchers process their own meat.
