The Elliot Omanson Show

Trevor Lawrence memes, Chiefs heartbreak, and the truth about America’s healthcare fight. Trevor Lawrence was caught picking his nose on the sidelines just minutes before driving down the field on the Chiefs’ defense — capping it off with a game-winning touchdown rush after tripping twice. Then we pivot to politics. The government shutdown drags on, largely over disagreements about healthcare spen...

The stock market continues its strong run in 2025, with all major indices reaching new all-time highs this week. Year-to-date, the S&P 500 is nearly 15%, while the Nasdaq 100 has gained 18%. The federal government’s fiscal year ended Tuesday night without a budget agreement, triggering a government shutdown on Wednesday. Historically, shutdowns have had minimal lasting impact on markets, with...

The military’s new fitness standards are sparking outrage. Are they fair, sexist, or even fatphobic? Elliot breaks down the one-standard debate, starting with his most degrading PT story from Fort Hood (the sink incident). We also dive into the Tylenol-autism debate — a messy fight between science and political spin. Since Trump was the messenger, people turned it into a circus instead of focusing...

Charlie Kirk’s death sent shockwaves through the nation — and exposed just how far media narratives and hate-fueled echo chambers have gone. In this episode of The Elliot Omanson Show, we break down the media spin, the rise of political violence, and why so many are being radicalized instead of reasoned with. We also explore how Charlie’s message continues to spark faith, strength, and resilience...

Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska was brutally murdered in a New York subway by a man with 14 prior arrests — and the media barely reacted. Elliot Omanson and Nathaniel Vossman break down what happened, why it ignited public outrage, and what it reveals about America’s collapsing justice system. They also react to viral clips from Rosie O’Donnell, Don Lemon, and Jasmine Crockett — exploring how c...

Trump was trending this weekend for an odd reason: conspiracies about his health — with some even claiming he was dead. Those rumors collapsed on Tuesday when Trump held a press conference from the Oval Office. The irony? Many of the same voices questioning Trump’s health are the ones who insisted Biden was fit to serve as president. Rosie O’Donnell was forced to issue an “apology” after falsely l...

Trump has fired Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, sparking questions about the Fed’s future and U.S. economic policy. We also cover Cracker Barrel’s failed rebrand and why the company returned to its original logo, along with reflections on the tragic Minneapolis Catholic school shooting that occurred yesterday. This episode delivers direct, unfiltered takes on the week’s most important stories—...

The NFL has gone FULL woke — from male cheerleaders to end-zone slogans — and fans are fed up. With the NFL season just around the corner, excitement is building. Sundays mean food, beer, and football — both real and fantasy. But while fans gear up, the NFL continues to evolve into a woke league. Recently, the Vikings made headlines for including male cheerleaders in traditionally female roles — b...

Violent crime in Washington, DC is near 30-year lows — but stubbornly high homicide rates keep it among the most dangerous U.S. cities. Is President Trump right or wrong to call in the National Guard? The media says no, but we’re not so sure.   Trump also made waves by pushing for a new U.S. Census — unusual outside the 10-year cycle — and seeking to exclude illegal immigrants from the count. Supp...

The political theater continues this week as Texas Republicans push an aggressive redistricting plan that could flip five U.S. House seats in their favor ahead of the 2026 midterms. Backed by Governor Abbott, the move has sparked fierce backlash, prompting over 50 Democratic state legislators to flee the state and break quorum—blocking the vote entirely. In response, Republican leaders have issued...

We kick things off with American Eagle’s bold new ad campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney — a healthy, attractive woman and a major shift from the industry’s recent trend of using “body inclusivity” as a marketing crutch. While most people appreciate the lighthearted “Good Jeans” slogan, some critics are stretching to connect it to eugenics and Nazi ideals due to Sweeney’s blonde hair and blue eyes....

Was Stephen Colbert really canceled over politics… or was it just bad business?   If you listen to the media narrative, you might think Colbert was forced out after calling Trump’s $16 million settlement with Paramount “a bribe.” Just days later, he announced The Late Show would officially end in May 2026.   But here’s the truth: the show has reportedly been losing $40 million a year — with Colber...

In this episode of The Elliot Omanson Show, we break down President Joe Biden’s recent interview with the New York Times, where he defends his use of the autopen to approve a wave of last-minute presidential pardons.   Biden insists he was fully in control — blasting Trump and Republicans as “liars.” But leaked emails from Chief of Staff Jeff Zients suggest otherwise: White House staffers approved...

The government fails at a lot of things — but one thing it does remarkably well is hiding the truth from the American people. The Jeffrey Epstein case is the prime example. Both parties have played a role in burying the facts. While the government can’t completely silence the so-called “conspiracies,” it has done a disturbingly effective job at keeping the full truth hidden.   The Biden administra...

This week’s episode dives deep into the most controversial topic in America right now: the Big Beautiful Bill. Everyone’s weighing in — Elon Musk, Democrats, mainstream media, even some conservatives — and the outrage is loud. But let’s be honest: a lot of that outrage is misleading.   While critics scream about the deficit and benefit cuts, they conveniently ignore the real drivers — like tax cut...

It should come as no surprise that the WNBA is once again pushing a woke narrative. The league, which continues to struggle with ratings, revenue, and relevance, added another bizarre moment this week. During a broadcast, Rebecca Lobo said the phrase “that’s what makes America great” — only to pause in silence, then awkwardly apologize. When patriotism is controversial, you know things are off the...

The LA riots aren’t what the media says they are. Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and the left are spinning the narrative to blame Trump — and we’re not buying it.   This episode breaks down the gaslighting campaign, what’s really happening in LA, and how legacy media weaponizes chaos.

This week marks 5 years since the death of George Floyd — an event that shook the nation and sparked months of protests and unrest. In this episode, we revisit the incident in full, including real-time reactions to the most revealing and difficult moments from the police body cam footage.   We believe law enforcement has a responsibility to preserve life, and the force used after Floyd became unre...

Far gone are the days of integrity in journalism. The motto of today’s media landscape might as well be: “Don’t believe your lying eyes and ears.”   The health cover-up surrounding Joe Biden is the latest and clearest example. For years—since at least 2019—conservatives, doctors, and political commentators have raised serious concerns about Biden’s mental acuity. We were dismissed. Mocked. Called...

In this week’s episode of The Elliot Omanson Show, we break down the GOP’s newly proposed “One Big, Beautiful Bill” — and challenge the media’s narrative around it. Our focus is on the controversial Medicaid changes and spending cuts, with a take you won’t hear on most mainstream media.   We also unpack President Trump’s latest executive order aimed at lowering prescription drug prices through a “...

The Trump administration has unveiled a bold new policy: offering $1,000 to illegal immigrants who voluntarily self-deport through the CBP Home app. Officials estimate this could cut deportation costs by as much as 70%.   In international news, Mark Carney has officially taken office as Prime Minister of Canada after his recent election victory. His first major move? A visit to Washington, D.C. On...

This week’s episode covers a little of everything. We start with Shedeur Sanders’ surprising draft slide and about who's at fault for the prank call. Then we dig into the controversy surrounding two judges arrested in separate cases — Hannah Dugan and Joel Cano — and the broader implications.   We also break down Trump’s proposal to eliminate federal income taxes for those earning under $200K, the...

This episode examines how identity politics is fracturing the modern Left from within.   Through examples like Gavin Newsom’s frustrations with Democratic leadership, the growing conflict between activist groups, and the broader lack of unity, it highlights why the Left’s competing agendas are leading to inevitable collapse.   Identity politics, division, and short-term thinking are driving instab...

Our goal for the OWLFI Podcast is to share our perspective on the world. The modern era of media is more powerful than ever. For years, legacy media dominated the political landscape, leaning heavily left. Social media has exploded over the past decade, giving everyday people a stronger voice to share their opinions. Yet, many platforms have favored left-leaning content, often sidelining other vie...
