She admitted it on camera. Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, 64, of Marina del Rey, pleaded guilty in June to a federal felony count of paying another person to register to vote, after James O'Keefe's undercover team filmed her on Skid Row saying "Because you haven't registered, I need to register you so I can get paid, too." Prosecutors say she paid people between $2 and $3 a signature and registered t...

Nine years before COVID, Anthony Fauci told a colleague at his own institute to destroy an email about gain-of-function research: "Please delete this e-mail and then delete from the deleted file." That is not a paraphrase. It is a verbatim record, released by Senator Rand Paul and first reported by Emily Kopp at the Daily Caller News Foundation, written the morning after Fauci complained to NIH di...

A federal agency put a form of worship on a list of possible indicators of domestic extremism. The traditional Latin Mass. Opposition to abortion. Conservative family values. A "rejection of modernity." That is not a rumor and it is not a talking point. It is the FBI's own January 2023 Richmond memo, and the Justice Department's Weaponization Working Group has now put on the record what the Bureau...

Homeland Security put it in writing: the companies behind more than 80% of America's voting machines admit their systems contain Chinese-made parts — and states that want their full federal grant awards must now run random post-election hand counts of paper ballots. Chuck breaks down DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin's August 24 letter to the White House Transparency Task Force, reported by The Epoch...

A federal watchdog has confirmed it: after Hurricane Milton, a FEMA disaster crew skipped 11 Florida homes because of Trump signs. The DHS inspector general found the crew violated FEMA policy and the Hatch Act, and per The Washington Times the crew's own notes read: "Did not visit due to a Trump flag." Chuck worked inside FEMA. He tells you what this really is, and the part of the report that sho...

Dolly Parton died Tuesday in Nashville at 80, and the nephew who announced it at her request said she "has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus." The same day, President Trump ordered American flags lowered for a full week. Chuck remembers the poor girl from Pigeon Forge who sold more than 100 million records (per CBS News), put free books into millions of children's hands, and never onc...

Iranian state television aired a three-minute segment titled "Where to Kill Barron Trump," claiming a $10 million bounty on the president's 20-year-old son and mapping his university, his escort vehicles, and his Secret Service posts, per Euronews and The Washington Times. Nobody has verified the bounty. Nobody disputes that it aired. Chuck walks through what was broadcast, what Tasnim did to Mela...

Sean Duffy told his daughter Harvard has "professionalized" corrupting young minds, then wrote: "My job is to get my daughter into heaven, not Harvard." The Transportation Secretary's kitchen-table conversation with 18-year-old Paloma on his YouTube series The Great American Road Trip set the internet on fire. Chuck Frank says every parent understands that sentence in their bones. This is the whol...

The national debt just crossed $40 TRILLION, per the Treasury Department's own daily report, and the interest alone now costs America more than national defense. More than Medicare. Chuck breaks down how we added two trillion dollars in about ten months, what the Peter G. Peterson Foundation says comes next, and why you are already paying for this at your own kitchen table. Also in today's episode...

Fauci's senior advisor pleaded GUILTY in federal court Tuesday — conspiracy to defraud the United States, admitting he worked to hide federal COVID records and dodge FOIA requests, straight from the DOJ's own announcement. For years they told you the origins question was a conspiracy theory. Yesterday, the man who sat beside Fauci admitted concealing the records about it. He faces up to five years...

Iran's army chief just put a $30,000 bounty on every American service member, doubled to $60,000 if a woman does the killing, per Iranian state media and reported from Breitbart to France 24. Major General Amir Hatami even promised the weapon used would be bought back at double its value and put on display in a museum. And here is the detail that exposes the whole thing: there are no known U.S. gr...

"We cannot ignore her." That is Anthony Fauci's own written reply — in an email released Sunday by Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul — after the FDA's acting commissioner, Dr. Janet Woodcock, warned him and Francis Collins in writing in May 2021 that she was personally receiving reports of vaccine adverse events, including from healthcare professionals. Her words: "No one takes them seriously, no...

57% of New York third graders FAILED their state reading tests, per new NY State Education Department data. So where is the $40,000 per student going? New York City spends upwards of $40,000 per student per year (The Gateway Pundit) — the highest school spending in the nation (NY Post) — while fifth-grade reading proficiency plunged 14 points in a single year. Chuck names exactly where he believes...

A Senate committee voted 8 to 5 on August 6th to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times at a hearing on the government's COVID response. The vote fell along party lines. Chairman Rand Paul is not sending it to the Senate floor. He is sending it somewhere else entirely, and Chuck explains what that means. Also in today's episode: the...

Anthony Fauci pleaded the Fifth 111 times before the Senate, and now Florida has issued a formal state subpoena over alleged self-dealing during the pandemic — that's the reporting from Breitbart, citing Attorney General James Uthmeier. What is in the diary he kept? Who signed the $900,000 check? We start there. Also in today's episode: two Republican senators are reportedly sitting on the John Br...

An ARMED man was arrested at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes days before President Trump's visit, and what deputies found afterward is the story. Per the L.A. County Sheriff's Department (via Fox News and ABC News): the suspect was seen photographing and monitoring security-planning activities. Deputies recovered hollow-point ammunition, a loaded pistol, body armor, high-capacity m...

Spider-Man: Brand New Day just posted a $360 MILLION opening — the biggest weekend in box office history, past even Avengers: Endgame — burying years of Hollywood excuses about COVID and streaming (per John Nolte at Breitbart). And in New York, a federal court just stepped between the state and four orders of Catholic nuns, one day before an assisted-suicide mandate takes effect. Also in today's e...

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger restored voting rights to more than 66,000 Virginians with past felony convictions, months before the midterms, according to Breitbart and her own office's press release. Her Republican predecessor restored fewer than 10,000, reviewing each case one by one. So why the rush to 66,000 now? We connect the headline to the moment. Also in today's episode: FCC Chairm...

Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday, refusing to answer a single question about the COVID years. Senator Bernie Moreno of Ohio was in that room. Then Moreno got to the diaries. Also in today's episode: the Smithsonian secretary who called DEI integral to excellence in museum practice drew $4.4 milli...

Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times before Senator Rand Paul's committee on Wednesday, and the pardon he is holding is exactly what makes that answer impossible to explain. Breitbart's John Nolte lays out the trap. The pardon Joe Biden signed covers offenses going back to January 2014. You can only plead the Fifth when you are in legal jeopardy. So for every year that pardon covers...

Only 6% of Massachusetts newcomer students graduated proficient in English, according to the Boston Globe's reporting on a new Brown University study. Migrant high school enrollment across the state fell from more than 6,400 to roughly 5,300 in a single year. Nobody is hiding these numbers. The question is what anyone intends to do about them. Also in today's episode: a Wisconsin brewery known for...

Joe Biden's ghostwriter tapes are out. More than 70 hours of them. On the recording he tells Mark Zwonitzer, "Some of this may be classified, so be careful." Special Counsel Robert Hur's report said his investigation uncovered evidence that Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified material after his vice presidency. Hur declined to charge him. Now the audio is public, released Monday by t...

Fauci kept a diary. Senate Homeland Security Chairman Rand Paul just released the entries from December 2019 through December 2022, and what Fauci wrote privately about his own fame while the death toll climbed is not what he told America. Bobbleheads. Sexiest Man Alive petitions. Beers named after him. An Instagram Live with Steph Curry. On March 10, 2020, as the country locked down, Fauci wrote:...

A Chicago plumber says the Obama Presidential Center project left him nearly $4 million in the hole: operations suspended, 25 union workers laid off, and a $1.72 million mechanics lien now filed against the property, per his account to Fox News. Chuck breaks down what the "economic opportunity" project actually delivered for the tradesmen who built it. Also in today's episode: FCC Chairman Brendan...

"I am here to announce my candidacy." President Trump opened his Georgia rally with those words, let the room hang, then dropped the punchline. And what he said next about 2028, JD Vance, and Marco Rubio is the tease Washington cannot ignore. Also in today's episode: Andy Biggs wins the GOP nomination for Arizona governor and a November showdown with Katie Hobbs. President Trump attends the dignif...
