- Drone strike sinks ship in NATO waters as Zelenskyy warns of looming ‘massive strike!’
- A commercial ship sank and its crew vanished Tuesday after an apparent coordinated air-and-sea drone attack off NATO member Bulgaria, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blamed Russia before warning Moscow was preparing a broader "massive strike."
- A second vessel was also heavily damaged and set ablaze inside Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone, with a drone expert warning the dual precision strikes signaled a dangerous escalation and possible "larger invasion posture" by Russia.
- Waters off the coast of a NATO country were attacked; not a member NATO country.
- Was this an air attack and surface attack by Russia?
- The mystery behind Russia’s Pneumonic Plague case:
- How likely is it that Russia has been caught red-handed hosting bio weapons research in Siberia?
- In infamous Victoria Nuland admitted (under oath) that U.S. taxpayers were funding bio weapons research in Ukraine (before the war began). Does Ukraine (probably) possessing deadly bio agents then force Russia to do the same?
- Former German spy chief arrested for espionage!
- A former spy chief for Germany's foreign intelligence service was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of espionage and attempted treason over allegations that he obtained classified documents and used secret information to prepare an analysis for an employee of a foreign intelligence service, prosecutors said.

- According to federal prosecutors, Hanning is "strongly suspected of treasonous espionage, spying out state secrets, attempted treason, and espionage."

11:00 · Rabbi, you heard the reaction to the October 7th attacks of Ambassador David Friedman.
- I bring this up because, just days ago, a Denver man walked into a police station in Denver claiming he had been a prisoner of Tren de Aragua!
- A Denver man’s roommates turned his home into a torture chamber after uncovering his family’s law enforcement ties, launching a brutal ransom plot at the direction of violent Tren de Aragua (TdA) leaders, federal prosecutors said Monday.
- The alleged victim survived days of abuse before escaping and walking into a police station missing a finger, prosecutors said. His captors had recorded the torture and sent the video to his wife, demanding money from his family in Venezuela.
- Rabbi, why has anti-Semitism and attacks against Jews all over the world exploded after October 7th?
- The situation has deteriorated to the extent that Jewish children are being removed from the public-school system. Parents blame the teachers; I blame the teachers unions.
- This further damages Jewish children in NYC, because they will not be learning and co-existing in their schools with kids form other religions and backgrounds.
- The question is, will those same parents vote for anyone and everyone with a “D” after their names next month?
- Do you believe these parents know who is behind Jewish hatred in America?

11:30 · 56 abortions at Planned Parenthood for every pre-natal visit, so, why are we funding PP?
- There is a misconception throughout America, that their tax dollars no longer fund Planned parenthood. That assumption is incorrect.
- On July 4, 2025, a one-year defunding of Planned Parenthood took effect under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. For 12 months, families were no longer forced to underwrite the nation’s abortion giant. That protection ended on July 4, 2026.

- President Trump targets Fox News:
- President Trump just turned the fire on Fox News on Truth Social. Trump's new complaint: Schumer, Jeffries, Tarlov, and the rest get more air than the people who won. Trump says that is why MAGA will never love the network.
- Trump has not been happy with Fox recently since they sided with fake news CNN, MSNOW and POLITICO on their lawsuit against the White House. If your “friendly” channel books the opposition as the A-block, it is not your channel. (DJT/9/30/26)

9:35 · You did everything right.
- You are not imagining it. And it is not your fault.
- In THE VELVET MONOPOLY, Chad Law sets out to answer the question quietly haunting millions of households: why has modern life become so expensive—and why can no one seem to explain it? The usual suspects—corporate greed, inflation, globalization, overregulation—each sound convincing until you follow the money and discover they don't quite fit.
- So, Law follows something else instead. A pattern. The same strange shape, surfacing again and again, in industries that have nothing to do with one another.
- He finds it on a cattle ranch in Texas, where a rancher whose family has raised cattle for generations can no longer name his own price.
- In a small-town pharmacy that loses money on nearly every prescription it fills.
- In a homebuilder who can't build a starter home anymore.
- In a community banker keeping a dying town alive one handshake loan at a time;
- a ninety-seven-year-old whose insurance failed her the year her neighborhood burned;
- an engineer who cracked clean energy and then waited years for permission to plug it in; a man who got so fed up with bad internet that he built his own.
- Different people. Different industries. The same hidden pattern underneath them all: competition—the quiet force that is supposed to keep prices honest and doors open—slowly, politely, and perfectly legally disappearing.
- Are Globalists now picking winners and losers?
- Wasn’t this test driven during COVID when hundreds of thousands of businesses were driven out of business?

- In your book: The Velvet Monopoly, you discuss the loss of competition in America, however; when you only report on how bad the economy is (when it is quite healthy), aren’t you hoping that Americans lose their competitive spirit – which drives competition?

10:00 · In your opinion, was the incident at RAF Fairford and the attempted hijacking of the FlyDubai aircraft related?
- Asked if there was any indication of Iranian involvement, Netanyahu said it was too early to say. "We'll get to the root of this attacker, whether he had accomplices, whether Iran was behind it. I think we'll find out very soon," Netanyahu said. (The Jerusalem Post)
- The knife used by the terrorist was either brought aboard by the terrorist, or; it was planted by an accomplice (catering or maintenance contractor). Do you agree?

- How likely is it that the U.S. (and now Israel) will retaliate against Iran before the U.S. Midterms and the Israeli elections?
- EJ, if the terrorist (or Iranian proxy) had succeeded, this October 7th Anniversary would have had a much different meaning. Do you agree?
- The stories of courage aboard the aircraft were amazing. What will Israel, Dubai and the world learn from FlyDubai Flight 1073?

10:30 · From the New York Post
- When asked which party is more likely to bring costs down, respondents favored Republicans narrowly over Democrats, 44% to 39%, with 16% saying neither.
- AFP’s survey quizzed 24,089 “swing” voters in Alaska, Iowa, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin.
- AFP believes concerns about the rise of socialism have created an opening for Republicans.
- “Republicans hold a narrow lead on affordability. But ask those same voters what future they want for the country, and the contrast is striking: nearly 70% favor personal freedom and free-market solutions, compared with fewer than 10% who want more government,” AFP spokesperson Katelyn Bledsoe told The Post.
- “Republican candidates have a clear opening,” Bledsoe added. “Now they need to draw a sharp contrast between conservative solutions and the policies of a Democratic Party increasingly shaped by socialist ideas.”

11:30 · Do you trust everything your therapist says?
- How much damage can bad therapists do to lives and families?
- Lies My Therapist Told Me: Why Christians Should Aim for More Than Just Treating Symptoms.
- Too many people are caught in a vicious cycle of visiting every doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, and therapist in their area only to find frustrating labels and numbing medications at the end of each path. Rather than eradicating anxiety in the same way vaccines conquered smallpox, the mental health establishment has seen the number of diagnoses and prescriptions skyrocket on its watch.
- How did we get here? In Lies My Therapist Told Me, Dr. Greg Gifford delivers the definitive Christian critique of secular psychiatry and psychology. With encouragement, humor, and conviction, Gifford:
- Debunks mental health myths such as “the body keeps the score” and “addiction is a disease.”
• Offers biblical insights and solutions for struggles like anxiety, narcissism, OCD, and Binge Eating Disorder.
• Points to Christ and the power of the Gospel as the all-sufficient answer for our fears and frailties. - This book brings clarity where secular therapy has created confusion, and offers hope even for those struggling with the hard cases. Through deep research, biblical teaching, and the inspiring stories of real counselees, he shows why we can’t blame the past—or even a diagnosis—for our bad behavior, and why our society’s growing unhappiness is not primarily a medical issue.

- The IRGC believes it can sway voters’ opinions, but why now? Early voting is already starting in some States.
- Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is appealing directly to American voters ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections, urging them to oppose President Donald Trump and pressure Washington to end the war.
- The message appeared in a 25-page letter addressed to Americans and presented by IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi, according to the New York Post.
- The letter blamed Trump and U.S. support for Israel for the conflict while accusing the president of misleading Americans about Iran’s nuclear program and the economic consequences of the war.
- “The US economy is on the precipice of collapse, and yet he keeps on telling Americans that the economy is booming and the prices will soon start coming down,” the letter said.
- The message comes as Iran faces mounting economic pressure of its own, with the rial falling Tuesday to a record low of more than 2.5 million to the U.S. dollar.
- One thing is certain, this letter from the death-cult IRGC will drive Dem-Com and DSA voters to the polls. Why? Because they blame the despised United States and the hated Israel!

- The Plot to Change America exposes the myths that help identity politics perpetuate itself. This book will reveal what really has happened, explain why it is urgent to change course, and offer a strategy to do so.
- Though we should not fool ourselves into thinking it will be easy to eliminate identity politics, we should not overthink it, either. Identity politics relies on the creation of groups, and then on giving people incentives to adhere to them. If we eliminate group-making and the enticements, we can get rid of identity politics.
- The first myth that this book will expose is that identity politics is a grassroots movement, when from the beginning it has been, and continues to be, an elite project.
- For too long, we have lived with the fairytale that America has organically grown into a nation gripped by victimhood and identarian division; that it is all the result of legitimate demands by minorities for recognition or restitutions for past wrongs.
- The second myth is that identity politics is a response to the demographic change this country has undergone since immigration laws were radically changed in 1965. Another myth that we are told is that to fight these changes is as depraved as it is futile, since by 2040, America will be a minority-majority country anyway. This book will help to explain that none of these things are true.
- Mike, you are a former journalist, what culpability does the media have in the plot to change America?
- The media has been the fermenter of identity politics, hasn’t it?

Filmmaker Chris Burgard joins Jake to discuss his documentary Remember the Alamo: Don’t Sharia My Texas, which connects the 1836 stand at the Alamo with what the film presents as the incremental advance of Sharia law in Texas today. The film features retired generals, combat veterans, investigative journalists, counterterrorism experts, and pastors.
- Are most Americans overlooking the growing Islamic presence in the country and what it means for the nation?
- Muslims have lived in America for generations. What has changed that Burgard sees as a threat to our way of life and our system of laws?
- Is this mass migration, or the carefully planned start of a jihad against America?
- Voices in Europe and the UK have warned America for at least 30 years not to repeat their experience. Were those warnings ignored?
- After 9/11, many expected limits on mass migration from the Middle East. Burgard argues the opposite has happened.
- Islamists, as distinct from Muslims broadly, gaining ground: churches converted to mosques, amplified public calls to prayer, and candidates now winning real power in Washington.
- The latest on East Plano.

- Did the attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport, which Germany has since blamed on Russia, change Danish thinking about a U.S. deal on Greenland?
- How will Russia and China, both with long running Arctic ambitions, respond?
- What does the Greenland deal mean for Canada? Will Beijing press Prime Minister Mark Carney for a foothold in Canada to counter it?
- Poland remains under constant threat from Russia. Why has NATO not created a no fly zone over Poland to stop drone incursions?
- The political situation in Germany: is Chancellor Friedrich Merz in danger of losing power, and how much ground has the AfD gained?

10:30 · How Hamas Shapes What You See from Gaza, and Macron’s Translation Problem
A celebrated Gaza photojournalist says he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten by a crowd on Oct. 7 and never published it. Rabbi Michael Barclay, host of The Rabbi’s Table: Dialogue Not Debate, on what that says about the coverage the world has relied on.
- UNRWA, the UN agency created in 1949 to provide relief, education, health care, and social services to registered Palestinian refugees, has seen its U.S. fundraising arm, UNRWA USA, publicly pay tribute to photographer Motaz Azaiza’s storytelling.
- Azaiza, a Time100 honoree and Nobel Peace Prize nominee who has met with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, told the Taqarrab podcast he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten by a Palestinian crowd on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas paraded captives through Gaza. “But I did not publish those videos,” he said.
- He also described a WhatsApp group of Gaza journalists overseen by a Hamas media official, which he said was used to target reporters who published criticism of Hamas.
- Azaiza has since disputed how his remarks were characterized, saying the group was a channel for Hamas government updates and denying that Hamas directed journalists’ work.
- For years, Western audiences received Gaza coverage produced inside red lines set by Hamas, and claims out of the enclave were often repeated without scrutiny, fueling campus protests.
- Since its violent takeover of Gaza in 2007, Hamas has worked to control the story that reaches the outside world and to legitimize violence against Israel as “resistance.”
- Macron’s translation problem: A French diplomatic source told The Jerusalem Post that Emmanuel Macron’s remarks on Hamas and the West Bank at the UN General Assembly were mistranslated. The English rendering had Hamas “never particularly active” there; the source said the French meant Hamas “has never governed the West Bank.” The clarification followed criticism from several Israeli officials.
- Lost in translation, or playing to France’s large Muslim population back home?

11:00 · The Obamacare Fraud Purge and Medicaid Drug Pricing
The administration canceled hundreds of thousands of Affordable Care Act enrollments last month, and every state has now applied to a new Medicaid model that ties drug prices to what other countries pay. Dr. Jason Sorens on whether taxpayers come out ahead.
- The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says it canceled roughly 315,000 ACA marketplace enrollments covering about 760,000 people last month, citing fraud and improper enrollments.
- Roughly 419,000 more people are being checked to confirm they are legal U.S. residents who meet the income requirements for ACA benefits.
- Vice President JD Vance’s White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud led the cancellations and estimates about $2.2 billion in savings on taxpayer funded subsidies.
- Are fraud investigations into government funded health care making a difference for taxpayers?
- All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico have applied to join the CMS GENEROUS model, which brings most favored nation pricing on certain prescription drugs to Medicaid. Forty states and Puerto Rico have already signed agreements. CMS estimates $64.3 billion in taxpayer savings over ten years.
- Participating manufacturers make covered outpatient drugs available at most favored nation prices. States invoice manufacturers for supplemental rebates, CMS monitors pricing accuracy, and CMS shares in the rebates through a reduced federal share of Medicaid payments.
- CMS Innovation Center Director Abe Sutton called the model a significant milestone that frees state money for education, infrastructure, and other priorities. Remaining states have until Sept. 30, 2026, to sign. The model launched in January 2026 and runs for five years.

11:30 · The Education Freedom Report Card: Which States Lead and Which Trail
Is communism finding roots in our education system? Heritage’s latest Education Freedom Report Card shows which states are expanding choice and which are falling behind. Jonathan Butcher on where school choice stands.
- Heritage’s Education Freedom Report Card grades states on active education choice programs, academic transparency, teacher freedom, return on education spending, and civics education.
- Florida placed first overall, followed by Arizona, Arkansas, Idaho, and Iowa.
- Louisiana, sixth overall, topped the civics category, in part by requiring a full year civics course and a civics or citizenship test to graduate.
- Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, and Rhode Island rounded out the bottom, with Maine in last place again.
- As the administration winds down the U.S. Department of Education, states like Florida and Iowa are reclaiming education responsibilities, as the Founders intended, and giving families more choice.
- More states should offer K through 12 education savings accounts so families can choose learning environments that fit their values and their children.
- A renewed focus on civics and rich content across math, reading, science, and other core subjects.
- How is America doing on school choice, and what roadblocks remain?

As the 2026 midterms heat up, two new Media Research Center studies find elite media and Big Tech platforms are slanting coverage and interfering with the upcoming elections. An MRC analysis of six seasons of CBS’s 60 Minutes found an overwhelming leftist tilt, with the program airing 78 liberal or anti conservative stories compared to just 16 conservative ones, a 5 to 1 ratio. A separate MRC Free Speech America study tracking more than 20,000 articles across Apple News, Google News, MSN, and Yahoo News found Big Tech aggregators promoted left leaning outlets 68% of the time heading into the midterms, compared to just 5% for right leaning outlets, with Apple News the worst offender at 71% left leaning coverage and only 1% right leaning.
- CBS’s 60 Minutes aired a 5 to 1 ratio of liberal to conservative stories over six seasons, per MRC

11:30 · 25 Years After 9/11: A Forgotten Lesson
As America approaches the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Lora Ries, Director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, says one of the most important lessons from that day is being forgotten: government agencies must share information to prevent future tragedy.

9:00 ET · Show Open: Iran War Roundup
Jake opens the show with the latest on the widening conflict with Iran in the Strait of Hormuz.
- President Donald Trump said the Iran war could end as soon as the election is over, saying Tehran is running out of options as U.S. attacks continue.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the U.S. will keep targeting Iranian oil tankers in response to ongoing attacks on American naval ships.
- Iran fired at Jordan using cluster munitions, a U.S. official told Fox News, after U.S. forces disabled five Iranian oil tankers on Tuesday. Where did Tehran get those cluster bombs, and did Putin supply them?
- Iran used its new electro optical missiles for the first time in an attempted strike on U.S. warships Wednesday, part of Tehran’s retaliation campaign in the region. Who helped develop the technology, and why unveil it now?
- A U.S. official told Fox News that Iran’s attack on U.S. forces in Jordan was “ineffective,” and all American personnel in the country were accounted for.
- Iran’s underground Pickaxe Mountain facility, a suspected nuclear site buried beneath granite, has seen a burst of construction this year amid the war with the U.S., according to a new satellite imagery report. Will Trump order a strike on the facility?
- Iran’s Foreign Ministry rejected Rubio’s claim that the Houthis are a proxy force, and Iran’s navy posted on X warning remaining regional forces to withdraw and protect their own borders, casting itself as the guarantor of Persian Gulf security.
- What should listeners know about the Houthis and Saudi Arabia going forward?

- Was Trump’s messaging, and Republican messaging overall, effective against the prospect of the Dem-Coms and DSA returning to power?
- Have the MAGA rallies lost their steam?
- What about the $5,000 pledge?
- If inflation is the issue, why would voters return the Dem-Coms to power when they caused rising prices in the first place?
- Do Americans angry about pump prices really believe the Dem-Coms will lower energy costs, given their record on driving those costs up?
- The first and second Trump terms focused on long term growth rather than governing by polls. Do voters actually see that long term vision, or does polling driven pandering win out?
Guests: DIAL producers and callers
9:35 ET · Faith, Turnout, and the Midterms
Craig DeRoche joins Jake to discuss what is at risk for people of faith heading into the midterms.
- What is at risk for people of faith in the midterm elections?
- Are the Dem-Coms hoping Christian voters stay home?
- DeRoche argues Christian voters lose elections when they stay home. Motivation could determine whether Republicans hold their coalition together.
- DeRoche says Christian turnout must become the convention’s central message. Was it?
- Radical candidates benefit when conservative Christian voters disengage. The midterms may hinge on whether Christians actually show up.
- Is the entire DSA message antisemitic and anti Christian? Should it be considered Jihad?
- Why are so many voters in some states considering a candidate like el-Sayed?

- What would a Vance led GOP look like ideologically? How is he positioning himself relative to Trump era populism versus traditional conservatism?
- What does the internal MAGA infighting signal about the fight to define the party after Trump?
- Are Vance’s public reflections on grief and faith since Kirk’s assassination shaping his political brand ahead of 2028?

10:30 ET · Chronic Absenteeism in Public Schools
Corey DeAngelis joins Jake to ask whether the real crisis in education is no longer test scores, but whether kids want to show up at all.
- When one in five American students is chronically absent, is the real crisis no longer test scores but whether kids want to show up at all?
- Should parents be punished criminally for truancy?
- What is driving chronic absenteeism in public schools? Chicago Public Schools reported more than 40 percent of students chronically absent in the 2024 to 2025 school year, with the rate reaching 45 percent among black students, 41 percent among Latino students, 48.5 percent among ninth graders, and 72 percent among seniors.
- DeAngelis argues those numbers are the predictable result of a government run monopoly that faces no real competition and has little reason to keep families engaged, since funding flows in whether classrooms are full or empty.

- Have the MAGA rallies lost their steam? What about the $5,000 pledge?
- If inflation is the issue, why would voters return the Dem-Coms to power when they caused rising prices in the first place?

11:30 ET · Soft on Crime Policy and DEI’s Cost to Business
Nicole Huyer joins Jake on how soft on crime policy and DEI mandates are hitting businesses and consumers.
- Soft on crime policies are bad for business. When retail crime costs businesses billions each year, is that effectively becoming a hidden tax on consumers, workers, and local communities?
- Are insurance losses from retail theft covered under small business deductibles?
- Locking valuable merchandise in cages that require an employee to unlock is cited as evidence of how far soft on crime policy has gone. When did Americans get soft on crime?
Further reading: Washington Times
- What harm have DEI initiatives caused U.S. businesses?
- Huyer argues DEI should stand for discriminatory, expensive, and illegal, built on the premise that America is fundamentally discriminatory and therefore the government must give preferential treatment to groups deemed “underrepresented.”
- She contrasts that with civil rights laws, which Republicans advanced narrowly to remedy discrimination against Americans descended from slavery, not to create racial quotas or reverse discrimination.

Your News Talk America
September 9, 2026 · With Jake Smith
9:00 · UK Israel Relationship in Crisis Over West Bank Settlement Ban
The United Kingdom has banned the import of all goods produced by Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, the country’s most significant policy shift since London’s recognition of Palestinian statehood last year. UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband told Parliament that Israel is carrying out what he called ethnic cleansing in the West Bank and affirmed that it is now official UK policy that the settlements are unlawful. Israel responded angrily to the announcement.
- Miliband’s remarks triggered swift retaliatory measures from Jerusalem.
- The ban marks a sharp toughening of Britain’s stance toward a longtime ally.

9:35 · Trade War With Canada
The US is set to effectively ban Canadian alcohol, motorcycle, and dairy imports starting September 29, following Canada’s retaliatory tariffs and stalled trade talks. Thomas Aiello argues Canada is not an economic adversary but one of America’s closest economic partners.
- The US and Canada conducted roughly $872 billion in two way goods and services trade in 2025, with Canada the largest export market for 66 percent of US states.
- Canada is deeply embedded in American supply chains, especially in energy, automobiles, and metals.
- American alcohol exports to Canada are down 81 percent as Canadian consumers boycott US products, hurting producers in Kentucky, Tennessee, and California.
- Is Canada protectionist to the detriment of the United States, or is America’s own escalating tariff cycle the bigger risk to exporters?
Guest: Thomas Aiello, Senior Director of Government Affairs, National Taxpayers Union
10:00 · Abortion and the Midterms
As Democrats campaign on abortion ahead of the midterms, Kelsey Pritchard says new message testing suggests Republicans should be leaning into a counteroffensive: banning late term abortion.
- SBA Pro-Life America commissioned randomized message testing in competitive races and found that highlighting a Democratic candidate’s support for late term elective abortion moved the Republican margin 3.3 points in a gubernatorial race and 4.4 points in a Senate race.
- Pairing that with a Republican position supporting reasonable gestational limits with exceptions grew the movement to 5.3 to 6.6 points.
- Gallup has found just 22 percent of Americans support legal abortion in the third trimester, while 70 percent oppose it.
- Should Republicans in blue and purple states run on abortion rather than away from it?
Guest: Kelsey Pritchard, Communications Director, SBA Pro-Life America
10:20 · IRGC Confirms Iran Attacked Jordanian US Base, Ships in Gulf
Iran’s IRGC confirmed it attacked a US base in the eastern Jordanian city of Al Azraq with ballistic missiles, along with two US vessels and eight tankers in the Gulf, in retaliation for earlier US strikes on Iranian oil tankers. Full report.
- In response, the US military destroyed five Iranian crude oil carriers, four in the Gulf of Oman and one near Kharg Island.
- Does Professor Davis see any real difference in Iran’s attacks or the US response, or is this the same escalation pattern repeating?
Guest: Paul Davis, Professor, Institute of World Politics
10:30 · Can States Cut Their Own Trade Deals? Plus Jobs and CPI
Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution strictly forbids individual states from entering into any treaty, alliance, or confederation with a foreign government, so a governor cannot negotiate a trade deal on their own.

11:00 · 9/11 at 25: Is the Ideology Behind the Attacks Still Being Discussed Honestly?
As America marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Todd Bensman asks whether political and cultural sensitivities are preventing an honest discussion of the Islamist ideology that motivated the attacks and continues to inspire terrorism today. Read his piece in the Daily Signal, along with his earlier analysis.
- Recovered cockpit recordings from United Flight 93 capture a hijacker’s religiously motivated chanting in the plane’s final seconds.
- Bensman points to a pattern continuing today, citing the 2026 attack at Temple Israel in Michigan, the 2025 New Orleans truck ramming, the shooting of two National Guard soldiers in Washington DC, and the 2024 Chicago attack.
- He also points to commentary around figures like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani as evidence the topic stays uncomfortable for public figures.
- Related: the DHS Homeland Threat Assessment on the ideology’s continuing reach, and coverage of the FBI Bourbon Street attack investigation.

11:30 · Rubio’s Three Nation Latin America Tour
Secretary of State Marco Rubio began a three nation tour of Latin America, opening in Colombia with praise for a new government that has embraced Trump’s approach to drug trafficking and illegal migration.
- Rubio met with Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella, part of a new generation of right leaning leaders in a region that had tilted leftward for decades.
- The trip continues to Ecuador and Peru, both aligned with Trump’s tough posture on the drug trade, as the administration steps up military operations against narcotics trafficking.
- Christine Balling reflects on communism’s spread through the region from the 1970s through the 1990s, and how much has really changed since.
- At this point, does the Iran war look like a stalemate?

9:00 · Show Open: Netanyahu Signals Regime Change in Iran, and What Students Still Do Not Know About 9/11
Speaking at a government toast ahead of Rosh Hashanah, Netanyahu indicated Israel’s operations against Iran are aimed at bringing about the regime’s fall. Twenty five years after September 11, a survey of Middle East scholars says most doubt today’s students can even identify who carried out the attacks.
- Netanyahu said he is “determined to do this,” adding that Israel is stronger than ever while its enemies are weaker than they have been.
- “We are determined to defend ourselves; we are determined to strike our enemies,” he continued, saying that while neither Iran nor any of Israel’s enemies are attacking right now, they can “make a mistake” and “suffer a blow they don’t even imagine.”
- His warning to Israel’s enemies: “Don’t mess with us. We know how to unite in times of difficulty, and it is currently the most powerful power in the Middle East.”
- Sundown September 11 marks the start of Rosh Hashanah. What is it like to be Jewish in the year 5787?
- A new survey of 470 Middle East scholars finds 66% lack confidence that today’s students can correctly identify who carried out the September 11 attacks or adequately understand their causes.
- Two thirds also said academic scholarship has at times provided intellectual cover for regimes, groups or ideologies hostile to the United States.
- 71% say academia is worse at pursuing truth than it was 25 years ago, and younger academics report greater pressure to self censor and conform.
- The survey was commissioned by the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa, with analysis provided by Scholars for Peace in the Middle East.
- Dr. Romirowsky, we are approaching the 3rd anniversary of the October 7th attacks. Do you suspect the very same ideology is getting into classrooms?
- Israel on Monday threatened a full scale war against the Palestinian Authority if it believed the West Bank based body was preparing an attack resembling Hamas’s October 7, 2023 assault. Palestinian authorities denounced the warning as an attempt to fuel the conflict during Israeli election season.
- Israel is preparing for such an attack. Might Iran strike on October 7th, and what are the chances?
- What are your recollections of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and what were the lessons for America and for Israel?

9:20 · Iran Declares an Exclusion Zone, Washington Turns the Screws at the UN
Iran has announced an exclusion zone outside the Strait of Hormuz, and the United States is set to escalate diplomatic pressure with a UN resolution over blocked nuclear inspections. Tehran says it will retaliate.
- Captain Murphy, what was your reaction to Iran announcing an exclusion zone outside the Strait of Hormuz?
- Washington is set to increase diplomatic pressure within days with a proposed UN resolution demanding Iran urgently remedy its failure to comply and restore access for nuclear inspections, Bloomberg reported Monday.
- According to a two page draft obtained by the outlet, the United States is also looking to refer Iran to the UN Security Council over its moves to block International Atomic Energy Agency monitoring.
- The resolution, backed by European members of the IAEA board, also highlights support for a diplomatic solution and encourages all parties to constructively engage in diplomacy.
- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei warned Monday that Tehran would retaliate if the UN nuclear watchdog adopts the measures.
- Democrats in the House are mulling impeaching President Trump and Secretary of War Hegseth should they take control of the House next year. They are even campaigning on removing Hegseth. What do America’s enemies take from that?

10:00 · Illegal Immigration in Europe: Is It Country Stealing?
Protests have spread across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Irish lobbyist Peter Connelly joins Jake to argue that what is happening across continental Europe, the UK and Ireland is not migration but the transfer of a country.
“We declare the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland and to the unfettered control of Irish destinies, to be sovereign and indefeasible. The long usurpation of that right by a foreign people and government has not extinguished the right, nor can it ever be extinguished except by the destruction of the Irish people.” (Proclamation of the Irish Republic, 24 April 1916)
- Peter, what is behind and who is behind the flooding of continental Europe, the UK and Ireland with massive numbers of illegal immigrants, largely young military age men?
- We first became aware of the protests in the Republic of Ireland and in Northern Ireland. What triggered them?
- This did not begin yesterday. Has the flow accelerated in recent years?
- Some are predicting civil war, and you in particular are calling attention to the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, your version of our Declaration of Independence. What happens when the Irish become a minority in their own country?
- I believe the EU is behind this, but who is pulling their strings? Is it the globalists?
- How has life changed for you in Ireland?
- We have been monitoring here in the United States the systematic targeting of Irish citizens because of their speech and their opinions. Is that linked?

10:30 · Cheap Oil, Record Diesel, and Detroit’s Battery Pivot
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says oil could fall to $40 a barrel once the Iran conflict ends. Meanwhile diesel has topped $5.90 a gallon and the crunch is forecast to last all winter. Could a steep drop in crude cause big problems for US producers?
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicted oil prices could fall to between $40 and $50 per barrel once the Iran conflict ends, arguing abundant supply is poised to hit the market once constraints ease.
- Diesel prices in the United States have broken records, topping $5.90 per gallon this month. Fuel prices are soaring worldwide as the squeeze reaches end consumers, prompting governments to implement emergency relief such as fuel tax cuts.
- Diesel shortages are expected to last through the coming winter. What is behind them?
- The EV bust is offering Detroit an opening. Ford and GM are repurposing underused EV battery capacity for energy storage, seeking new revenue after taking billions of dollars in EV related write downs.
- AI data centers and grid reliability are fueling booming battery storage demand, with Ford targeting at least 20 GWh of annual deployments by late 2027.
- US energy storage installations are surging, hitting a record 20.2 GWh in Q2 2026 as utilities race to meet rising electricity demand.

11:00 · The Biden Blunders Behind Drug Price Controls
Phil Kerpen and Stephen Moore argue the comically misnamed Inflation Reduction Act imposed government price controls on prescription drugs, and that the Biden administration then made the regime far worse in practice than it was on paper.
- The law replaced the old noninterference principle, which used market average prices to set drug reimbursement, with a scheme letting the Secretary of Health and Human Services directly set prices through a sham negotiation. A manufacturer must agree or face a punitive seizure via a tax equal to 95% of the product’s total sales.
- That undermines the return on the investment of billions of dollars required to develop a new drug and bring it to market, resulting in fewer new cures and treatments.
- Biden’s Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services expanded the scheme’s scope by ignoring the statute’s clear lines in at least three ways.
- First, drugs with biosimilar competition are exempt because they already face intense price competition. The Biden CMS instead used biosimilar prices as comparators to justify more stringent controls.
- Second, CMS took the statutory term therapeutic alternatives and, without meaningful public input, built an entire pricing system that appears nowhere in the statute, benchmarking cutting edge complex cancer drugs against old style chemotherapy agents.
- Third, CMS bundled two insulins approved 17 years apart and called them one drug to clear the minimum sales threshold. Neither product qualified on its own, setting a precedent that nearly any drug could be dragged in through a bundling backdoor.
- Aggregate small molecule investment by smaller biotech companies has already fallen by 68% since the IRA passed. Investment targeting Medicare aged populations dropped 74%.
- A proposed rule released on June 12 would codify the Biden era guidance into law.
- The asks: halt Round 3 of price control negotiations before prices are set under Biden era rules, announce Round 4 selections will not proceed under the old methodology, restrict therapeutic alternatives to clinically appropriate substitutable drugs, restore market based competition criteria, and reassign the Biden era personnel driving the program.
- The authors also back fundamental FDA reforms, pro growth tax policy, strong global protection of intellectual property, and direct pay sales channels as an alternative to opaque insurer and PBM schemes.

11:30 · Citizen Only Voting: Should It Be in the Constitution?
Some jurisdictions have moved to legally permit noncitizens to vote in certain local elections, which is a separate question from illegal noncitizen voting. Americans for Citizen Voting argues the ambiguity should be settled in the Constitution rather than fought state by state.
- Does America need to clarify the distinction between illegal noncitizen voting and jurisdictions that have moved to legally permit noncitizens to participate in certain elections?
- Current constitutional language creates too much ambiguity around citizen only voting.
- Is there a growing movement at the state level to explicitly place citizen only voting language in state constitutions?
- House Res. 152 is a proposed constitutional amendment stating that only US citizens may vote in federal elections. Where does it stand?
- Why does Americans for Citizen Voting argue the issue should be settled constitutionally rather than state by state? Is that not more time consuming?
- Could close midterm races increase scrutiny of voter eligibility and public confidence in election rules?
Guest: Jack Tomczak, VP of Outreach at Americans for Citizen Voting.
