9:06 · Show Open: The Fauci COVID Coverup Unravels
Senate testimony this week made the case that the COVID pandemic was, in actuality, the most devious plan to seize control of the United States and its citizens. Anthony Fauci sits at the center of it.
- Evidence presented points to an organized effort to seize control of American life under the cover of a public health emergency.
- The Dem Coms reacted to that opportunity alongside an agent of foreign influence, the Father of COVID, Anthony Fauci, who used taxpayer dollars to fund the research and then led an elaborate coverup.
- The guilty party, the Democrat Communist Party, what Jake called at the time the ruling junta, refused to attend the hearing and question the whistleblower. Their seats were all empty.
- By their deeds, you shall know them.
9:20 · Client Segment: Community Bank Delaware
A Delmarva community bank built on local relationships and local decisions. Jake checks in with the team at Community Bank Delaware.
9:35 · Monologue: Totally Oblivious
Jake's take on the political class, the press, and a country that watches the same hearings, reads the same evidence, and somehow still pretends not to see what is right in front of it.
9:45 · Mayorkas Snubs Becerra, Plus China Glock Switches in the US Mail
Former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas declined to endorse fellow Biden administration Cabinet official Xavier Becerra in his California gubernatorial bid. Anna Giaritelli of the Washington Examiner on the optics and what it signals about the Biden alumni network heading into 2026.
- Mayorkas was asked at a Politico event in Washington on Tuesday whether he would support the former Health and Human Services Secretary and California Attorney General. He would not.
- Mayorkas continues to lie about the border during his time as DHS Secretary.
- Anna's reporting on Glock switches shipped through the US mail from China was covered on YNTA yesterday. Today: any read on who was ordering them and whether these devices were tied to a terrorist group or insurgency.

10:08 · House GOP Launches Fraud Hunt
The House Oversight Committee has launched a task force to combat government fraud and abuse. Is this Mike Johnson's DOGE effort? Lauren Green of the Washington Examiner reports House Republicans are amping up talk of a third reconciliation bill to tackle fraud and affordability before the second one has crossed the finish line.
- Fraudulent use of tax dollars: how serious an issue is this for the nation, and how big is the actual exposure?
- Is this purely a political move by House Republicans to surface fraud cases before the midterms? What does the timing tell you?
- Has the mood in the House changed since the Virginia Supreme Court redistricting decision?
- Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna is much more outspoken lately. Is she aiming for bigger things in Washington?
- Hakeem Jeffries' "Maximum Warfare" line has handed Republicans and the media plenty of ammunition over the next four months. Does he regret saying it?

10:33 · Iran Hangings Surge at Home
There may be a ceasefire between Iran and the United States, but that does not mean the Iranian regime is at peace with its own people. The war is on hold. The internal crackdown is only deepening. Homeira Hesami, a former political prisoner in Iran, joins Jake.
- NBC News spoke to a relative of one man executed last month as authorities ramp up a deadly campaign against those seen as the enemy within.
- Iran executed a man convicted of armed rebellion on Tuesday, the judiciary said, the latest in a wave of hangings since war broke out with the United States and Israel.
- The judiciary's Mizan Online website reported: the death sentence for Abdoljalil Shahbakhsh, son of Jalal, a trained member of the Ansar al Furqan terrorist group, was carried out that morning. He had been charged with rebellion through armed attacks on police headquarters and membership in the Ansar al Furqan rebel group.
- Homeira, what did you think of Pope Leo bestowing the Vatican's highest diplomatic honor on the Islamic Republic's Ambassador, Ayatollah Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari? The man is part of a regime that slaughtered 42,000 of its own people and imposes the death penalty on Muslims who convert to Christianity.
- Israelis are concerned about the NCRI, which you support. They believe the organization will continue the same policies toward Israel supported by the current regime. What do you say to Jews listening to this program about those concerns?

10:50 · Trump's China Trip Puts Rare Earth Minerals Back in Focus
As President Trump arrives in China, one issue looms over the trip: America's dependence on China for rare earth minerals. James Morrone, energy analyst at Americans for Prosperity, joins Jake.
- Rare earth minerals power everything from advanced defense systems and AI infrastructure to smartphones. The US has significant domestic reserves, but decades of regulatory hurdles and permitting delays have pushed mining and processing capacity overseas, leaving China with dominant control over the supply chain.
- Trump's China trip is likely to reignite the debate over America's mineral dependence and why permitting reform is the fastest path toward rebuilding domestic capacity.
- Why is permitting reform central to energy security, manufacturing, and national security?
- What can policymakers do to accelerate domestic extraction and refining without sacrificing environmental standards?
- Why is rare earth independence increasingly tied to broader US and China economic competition?

11:06 · Hamas Mob Targets Brooklyn Jews
A Brooklyn imam responded to pro Hamas demonstrators who terrorized a group of Jewish teenagers outside a Jewish center earlier this week. Rabbi Michael Barclay joins Jake to react.
- Pro Palestinian demonstrators targeted an Israeli real estate expo at Young Israel Senior Services of Midwood, protesting what they called an illegal sale of Palestinian land. The result: scuffles, pepper spray, and four arrests, including two teens and two adults on charges including assault and disorderly conduct.
- Videos showed physical confrontations amid chants of "globalize the intifada" and flags including one from Hezbollah, while counter protesters were local Orthodox Jewish residents.
- The event echoed a similar protest on May 5. Jewish leaders are decrying the intimidation, and critics are targeting new Mayor Zohran Mamdani amid rising antisemitic incidents in NYC.
- A supporter of Hamas wore a fake suicide vest at Monday's NYC protest. How did police know it was fake? Should he have been taken down on the spot? Is that not terroristic threatening?
- Were these supporters of Hamas aware of the sexual atrocities forced upon those kidnapped on October 7th, including forcing family members to commit sex acts on each other? And they were supporting Hamas anyway?
- Rabbi Barclay, your reaction to Pope Leo bestowing the Vatican's highest diplomatic honor on the Islamic Republic's Ambassador, Ayatollah Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari, a regime that slaughtered 42,000 of its own people and imposes the death penalty on Muslims who convert to Christianity. He is an Islamist, not a Muslim.

11:33 · The Father of COVID and the One Child Boomerang
Dr. Steven W. Mosher was the very first expert in America to publicly rip the mask off the effort to cover up the activity of a mad scientist: Anthony Fauci. He was on this program six years ago telling listeners what the truth was. Today, after this week's Senate testimony, he's back.
- Dr. Mosher, how did it feel listening to the Senate testimony yesterday?
- We now know Fauci was actually running the COVID response, a covert Deep State operation that became the most massive coverup in this nation's history, if not the world's.
- China's one child policy is coming back to haunt them. The demographic bill is now due.

11:50 · Americans Want More Commercials?
A new survey from Bango shows Americans are becoming more willing to trade ad free viewing for lower streaming costs as subscription fatigue grows. Sean Stockell, streaming expert and CEO of Your Home Digital, joins Jake.
- 36% of US consumers would accept twice as many ads if it meant cheaper subscriptions.
- Willingness rises to 46% of Millennials and 49% of Gen Z.
- Americans now pay for 5.2 subscriptions on average, costing about $69 per month, or $830 per year.
- Nearly a quarter say they spend more than they can afford. Among Gen Z that jumps to 41%.
- The findings suggest a major mindset shift as viewers increasingly seek affordability through ad supported plans, bundles, and discounts. Ad tolerance is highest among Apple TV users and lowest among Amazon Prime Video users.
