Axis of Truth

Iran may be trying to sabotage Israel's upcoming elections and its most dangerous weapon isn't a missile, but fake Israelis spreading fear and distrust online. Emily Schrader sits down with Golden Owl intelligence analyst Tal Hagen to expose a suspected Iranian-linked influence network operating across social media ahead of Israel's October 27 elections. A new investigation reveals fake Israeli profiles, coordinated disinformation campaigns and attempts to convince Israelis that their government, military and democratic institutions cannot be trusted. But the operation isn't simply about defeating Netanyahu or supporting his opponents. According to Hagen, the real objective is to turn Israelis against one another and convince the public that even future military operations could be political false flags. The interview also explores how foreign regimes exploit social media algorithms, why tech companies struggle to stop these networks and how ordinary users can identify suspicious accounts before falling for their manipulation. With Israeli elections just days away and American midterms approaching, how much of the political outrage flooding our social media feeds is real and how much is being manufactured by hostile foreign powers?

The anti-Israel protest movement just got exposed, and the money trail may lead all the way to China. Emily Schrader reveals leaked organizing documents allegedly exposing the coordinated campaign behind hundreds of anti-Israel demonstrations across the globe, including prewritten slogans, protest instructions and financial connections to a Shanghai-based millionaire. From London protesters openly defending Hamas and Iran to shocking scenes in New York and Amsterdam, Emily exposes what she sees as the dangerous forces driving the global anti-Israel movement. She also takes aim at the Nobel Committee's controversial decision to honor Navi Pillay and reveals how devastating Houthi attacks on Saudi airports are raising the stakes for Washington. Plus, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces an unexpected backlash from anti-Israel protesters at an October 7 memorial. Who's really orchestrating the protests, who's funding them and why are the very institutions claiming to defend human rights increasingly finding themselves at the center of the controversy?

A 22-year-old Iranian-American student asked a U.S. Senate candidate one question about the IRGC and days later, he says his family was being threatened and doxxed online.Emily Schrader sits down with University of Michigan student Iman Dashti after his viral confrontation with Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, where Dashti pressed him to explicitly condemn the Iranian regime and IRGC. Dashti explains why the issue is deeply personal and describes the extraordinary backlash he says followed his question. The conversation also explores his concerns about the growing alliance he sees between radical-left and Islamist movements on American campuses and the lessons he believes Americans should draw from what happened in Iran.

A terrorist allegedly tried to turn a plane full of Israelis into a weapon, and within barely an hour, the internet was already blaming the Jews. Emily Schrader breaks down the attempted Flydubai attack, the extraordinary actions that saved the passengers and the avalanche of “false flag” conspiracy theories that followed despite the emerging evidence about the alleged attacker. She also investigates alleged Iranian-linked terror plots targeting Jews in Britain and examines the IDF’s newly released evidence alleging terror affiliations among 170 Gazans described internationally as journalists. Plus, three years after October 7, Emily exposes activists across the West planning events that commemorate the date under the banner of the “Al-Aqsa Flood”, and asks what it says about how far the reaction to the massacre has shifted.

Iran’s leaders came to New York portraying themselves as victims, but newly released footage from inside Iran tells a horrifyingly different story. In this episode of "Axis of Truth", Emily Schrader examines raw footage documenting the regime’s violent crackdown on nationwide protests, including allegations of protesters being shot in the streets, hospitals being blocked and families desperately trying to save the wounded. She then exposes what an open-source investigation describes as an Iranian influence operation using fake Israeli social-media accounts to inflame divisions ahead of Israel’s election. Plus, Emily investigates how a former Hamas bodyguard reportedly received British citizenship before being implicated in an alleged terror plot and the disturbing IDF footage showing Hamas using a child to transport weapons in Gaza.
