This week, I hit the road to Ohio after hearing about something I simply couldn't ignore: a bus full of retired judges traveling across America's heartland to meet people where they are and talk about the rule of law. In this special live episode, I take you inside Justice in Motion , an inspiring initiative organized by Democracy Rising Collaborative and Keep Our Republic . You'll hear from retir...

This episode was recorded on Friday, May 8, 2026, and released on a delay to protect the immigrant family involved from further targeting by the Trump administration.

At the “State of the Swamp” event hosted by Defiance.org , I delivered a rebuttal to President Trump’s State of the Union address. I served in the first Trump White House. I saw what happens when power stops serving the country, and starts serving itself. That’s why I chose two words: I defy. In this speech, I address blind loyalty, fear-based governance, and what the State of the Union didn’t say...

I just wrapped a live report from the “No ICE in My Cup” Free DC rally at the Kennedy Center, where the World Cup draw was happening today. Inside, FIFA was celebrating a global moment of unity. Outside, fans, families, and community leaders gathered to push back on the Trump administration’s plan to deploy ICE and federal law enforcement around next year’s World Cup events. This wasn’t just a soc...

This episode takes you to the U.S.–Mexico border, to a place where faith, resilience, and humanity meet in the shadow of walls and wire. I attended the annual Border Mass, a powerful tradition uniting the communities of Ciudad Juárez, México; El Paso, Texas; and Las Cruces, New Mexico in shared prayer for migrants who have lost their lives seeking safety and opportunity across the border. Once, th...

Today’s video comes to you from Puerto Palomas, Chihuahua, Mexico —a town that sits directly across from Columbus, New Mexico , forever linked to one of the most dramatic moments in U.S.-Mexico history. In 1916 , revolutionary leader Pancho Villa launched his infamous raid across this very border, striking Columbus and forever changing U.S.-Mexican relations. A century later, the spirit of resilie...

She highlights the systemic failures within institutions that prioritize power and reputation over accountability, drawing parallels to the ongoing issues surrounding Jeffrey Epstein. Troye emphasizes the need for ad...

On release day for his new novel Open Bar , I sat down with my friend Dan Schorr —former sex crimes prosecutor and domestic violence prosecutor turned novelist—to talk about the real cases, cover-ups, and power plays that inspired his story. Reading Open Bar hit me hard. So many scenes felt uncomfortably familiar—parallels to things I’ve witnessed firsthand in politics, government, and the intelli...

I joined The Jim Acosta Show alongside Miles Taylor and Elise Labott for a candid and wide-ranging conversation with Jim on the mounting crises we’re facing—from Trump’s unraveling over the Epstein scandal to the corruption hiding in plain sight, like the $400 million Qatari jet quietly funneled through the Pentagon. We also dove into the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, Texas’s brazen redistrict...

In this episode, investigative reporter Julie K. Brown, the journalist who re-opened the Epstein case, and I join Jim Acosta for an hour-long deep-dive that spans from Epstein secrecy to climate-driven disasters. We dig into the MAGA back-pedaling on “release the list,” why survivors are still being denied justice, and how this moment serves as a stress test for institutional accountability in a p...

In this episode, Olivia Troye breaks down how your boarding pass, face scan, and credit card swipe feed a sprawling surveillance machine—designed by defense contractors, implemented by DHS, and quietly bankrolled by the very airlines we trust. She connects the dots between ARC's billion-ticket data sale, TSA’s expanding facial recognition systems, the 75-year biometric storage in DHS’s HART databa...

In this episode, I join Wajahat Ali to break down the chaos unfolding in Trump’s latest foreign policy gamble: a unilateral military strike on Iran with no congressional approval, no credible intelligence presented, and no real plan for what comes next. We cover: Why Trump’s ego—not strategy—drove this decision. From war hawk to realist. The intelligence failures, disinformation, and long-term ris...

On this episode, Olivia unpacks the horrifying events in Minnesota that turned a weekend of peaceful protest into a moment of national reckoning. While millions marched in No Kings Day rallies across the country to reject authoritarianism, a far-right extremist assassinated former State House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and critically wounded Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Olivia...
