THE 1,400-YEAR WAR: Raymond Ibrahim on the Real History of Islam Is the "History of Islam" being systematically sanitized in Western schools? In this explosive episode, world-renowned historian and former U.S. Library of Congress scholar Raymond Ibrahim joins the show to dismantle the "grievance narrative" of Jihad. While the West is told that modern violence is a response to recent foreign policy, Ibrahim uses his fluency in Arabic to reveal ancient texts that prove a 1,400-year continuity of conquest. We dive deep into the Persecution of Christians, both historical and modern, and how the 7th-century Arab conquests "swallowed" three-quarters of the original Christian world. Ibrahim exposes the doctrine of Taqiyya (strategic deception), the Sword Verse that commands the subjugation of "People of the Book," and the legal reality of Dhimmitude. From the "Double-Speak" of Al-Qaeda to the Creeping Sharia and the Fall of Europe, this conversation reveals why the West is currently losing a civilizational war it refuses to admit is happening. We specifically discuss the takeover of the West through institutional infiltration, highlighting the surreal reality of New York officials like Zohran Mamdani transforming New York.

Operation Epic Fury / Rising Lion: Inside the U.S. / Israel Strike on Iran | war powers, nuclear threat, regional fallout, and consequences at home. a coordinated U.S. and Israeli strike — hit more than 1,000 Iranian military and nuclear-linked targets, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and triggering immediate retaliation across the region. In this episode, we break down what led to the strike, the administration’s red lines, and the intelligence claims surrounding Iran’s uranium enrichment. We examine the latest IAEA findings, Tehran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile, and the debate over whether Iran was truly days from a nuclear breakout — or whether diplomacy still had runway. We also tackle the constitutional question head-on: Did the President violate the War Powers Resolution? We walk through the legal framework, historical precedent, executive authority, congressional notification requirements, and what critics on Capitol Hill are arguing versus what the administration claims is firmly within presidential power. Beyond the missiles and airstrikes, we explore the deeper regional fault line shaping this conflict — the 1,400-year-old Sunni–Shia divide. Iran as the dominant Shia power. The Sunni Gulf monarchies calculating survival. Hezbollah’s entry into the fight. The internal Muslim conflict that predates modern borders — and why it still dictates alliances, proxy wars, and regional escalation today. We break down the global chessboard: Israel’s security calculus, Gulf state vulnerability, NATO positioning, China’s oil dependency, Russia’s military coordination with Tehran, and what this means for great-power competition. Then we analyze reactions at home — on both sides of the aisle. Democrats raising constitutional and escalation concerns. Progressives framing the strike as Western interventionism. Libertarians warning of endless war and blowback. Conservatives divided between America First restraint and muscular deterrence. Who supports it. Who opposes it. And why. We also examine the domestic consequences: • The Strait of Hormuz and rising oil prices • Inflation risk tied to energy markets • Terror retaliation and asymmetric threats • The power vacuum inside Iran — IRGC control, succession scenarios, and regime-change speculation Was this preemptive defense? Strategic decapitation? Or the start of a wider regional war? This is a full geopolitical and constitutional breakdown of Operation Epic Fury — separating intelligence from rhetoric, law from politics, and strategy from media spin. Like. Share. Subscribe.

In this episode of Keeping it Real, we sit down with world-renowned plastic surgeon and human rights activist Dr. Sheila Nazarian. Before the success and the Beverly Hills practice, she was a six-year-old Jewish refugee fleeing the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. Dr. Nazarian shares the terrifying reality of her family's escape—smuggled through the desert in the back of a truck under burlap sacks, taking fire from Iranian border police just to survive. We pull back the curtain on the "Red-Green Alliance"—the historic and deadly partnership between communists and Islamists that overthrew the Shah—and why Dr. Nazarian sees that exact same playbook unfolding on American college campuses today. From dissecting the hypocrisy of modern political movements to the reality of the current uprisings in Iran, this is an unfiltered look at what it actually takes to protect freedom. What We Cover: The brutal reality of Dr. Nazarian's family fleeing the 1979 Islamic Revolution.+1 How the "Red-Green Alliance" of communists and Islamists historically dismantled Iran.+1 The dangerous parallels between 1979 Iran and modern American college protests. The critical difference between true asylum seekers and economic migrants. Why the current protests in Iran could fundamentally reshape the Middle East and why a nuclear Iran is a global threat.

Bill O’Reilly joins Jillian Michaels for a deep dive breakdown of two explosive crises shaking the world: a potential U.S. war with Iran — and the growing fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein files. With American aircraft carriers and stealth fighters converging in the Middle East, O’Reilly shares rare insight from his private conversations with Donald Trump, revealing what a real conflict with Iran could look like, why nuclear inspections matter, and how U.S. foreign policy shifted under Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Then the conversation turns to the Epstein cover-up. While European countries arrest Epstein collaborators, America’s elite remain untouched — including billionaires like Bill Gates and celebrities like Jay-Z. O’Reilly exposes the staggering three million documents in the Epstein investigation and explains the procedural roadblock preventing prosecutions in the U.S. And what are the Clintons really hiding? As Hillary Clinton launches a defensive media blitz pointing fingers at Trump, the facts remain: Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s plane 26 times and hosted him at the White House 17 times. O’Reilly calls on Congress to release the missing Secret Service logs to finally determine who was truly on Epstein’s island. This is an unfiltered conversation about war, power, corruption, and the collapse of due process — and why accountability looks very different depending on who you are. No cable-news theatrics. No talking points. Just raw truth about Iran, Epstein, the Clinton cover-up, and what comes next. Subscribe for more unfiltered conversations on Keeping It Real with Jillian Michaels.

Did Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein discuss pandemic planning for profit?! In this episode, Jillian breaks down newly surfaced Epstein emails and financial records that point to an early alliance between the tech mogul and the disgraced financier. We investigate "Project Molecule," the investment architecture that evolved into the Global Health Investment Fund, and reveal how elite partnerships tied to the World Economic Forum (WEF) and JP Morgan financialized public health. In this deep dive, we cover: The Gates-Epstein Connection: How a $100B pandemic investment framework was engineered behind closed doors. Event 201: The pandemic simulation that rehearsed a coronavirus outbreak just weeks before the real thing. The Censorship Industrial Complex: How NGOs and think tanks tied to gates laundered government pressure to suppress early treatments and dissent.

Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) sits down to reveal the dark reality behind the January 2026 Epstein files release. Greene details the career-ending pressure she faced from the GOP establishment and a scorching phone call where Donald Trump allegedly warned her that his "friends will get hurt" if the files went public. We break down the most disturbing findings from the archives, including the infamous "walking jerky" emails , the Bill Gates connection to pandemic planning , and the "Massacre of the Innocents" painting request. From the business model of the war in Ukraine to the evidence of geoengineering and weather modification, MTG explains why the "Uniparty" is terrified of the truth—and why she believes the global elite are operating a system of "pure evil."

Jillian sits down with PragerU’s Xaviaer DuRousseau to expose elite hypocrisy, celebrity double standards, and the ideological collapse reshaping America. We cover: • Epstein’s Cabal — why elites keep shielding predators like Jeffrey Epstein, Diddy, Jay-Z, and Chrissy Teigen while lecturing the public on morality • Celebrity hypocrisy — Bad Bunny cashing a Super Bowl paycheck after claiming he’d stop performing in the U.S., Billie Eilish’s “stolen land” virtue signaling, and the disturbing deleted tweets cancel culture forgot • White liberal meltdown — racial slurs aimed at Black ICE agents, vigilante tactics, and political candidates openly encouraging gangs to confront federal law enforcement • “Mamdani Madness” & NYC decline — how Zohran Mamdani represents a broader collapse: radical optics, criminals being courted, trash barriers rising, taxpayer dollars flowing to undocumented immigrants — plus outrage over tapping a former Al-Qaeda–linked 9/11 defense attorney to help run legal affairs in New York • Taqiyya explained — how ideological deception operates in modern politics and activism • Culture-war flashpoints — trans ideology, the SAVE Act, voter ID suddenly labeled “racist,” and the broken social contract • Adrenochrome & elite conspiracies — separating internet myth from real questions about power, corruption, and institutional rot CHAPTERS 0:00 - Intro & The "Monkey" Video Scandal 03:52 - Gavin Newsom & The Destruction of California 07:25 - Voter ID Is Racist? 11:58 - THE EVIL ESPTEIN CABAL 13:28 - Jillian’s Diddy Story 17:45 - Adrenochrome, Rituals & "Bacha Bazi" 24:39 - Bizarre Esptein Paintings 33:04 - Hillary Clinton Praising Trump? 37:45 - Epstein & Clintons 45:22 - Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Hypocrisy 47:10 - Billie Eilish & Immigration Ignorance 50:49 - Chrissy Teigen Tweets 51:20 - Nicki Minaj vs Jay Z 1:04:44 - Trans Ideology & The Broken Contract 1:15:18 - GANGS vs. ICE & Vigilante Roadblocks 1:24:40 - The "White Savior" Trap 1:32:57 - "Mamdani Madness" & The Fall of NYC 1:40:00 - Radical Islam & Western Values Learn more about your ad choices.

Letting millions pour into the country illegally wasn’t compassion—it was reckless negligence. Communities are breaking, public resources are drained, and the rule of law is collapsing. Borders exist for a reason, and rules are meant to be followed; ignoring them cheats those who played by the rules and rewards lawlessness. Hard-working Americans support deportations because accountability isn’t optional—it’s essential. Politicians who cheer on open borders and attack ICE aren’t defending anyone—they’re chasing power, votes, and ideological headlines while the country pays the price. Jillian Michaels exposes the full-scale fallout of mass illegal immigration and the chaos it has left behind. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Is America being pulled apart on purpose? Jillian Michaels sits down with wildly popular political pundit and radio host Jesse Kelly for a brutally honest look at the current state of the country. From the shocking reports of medical professionals refusing care to political opponents to the "communist" tactics infiltrating American institutions, the reality of the border crisis, and the terrifying concept of "struggle sessions" making their way into modern society, Jesse outlines exactly how and why civilized society is descending into chaos.   Jesse also breaks down the 2030 apportionment map and explains the strategic demographic shifts that are changing the political landscape forever. In this episode: The Cultural Divide: Why politics has become a "blood sport" and how it impacts day-to-day life, from flying on airplanes to doctors' visits. "Struggle Sessions": Jesse explains the historical communist roots behind modern public shaming and cancel culture. The "Normie" Problem: Why ignoring politics is no longer an option if you want to protect your freedom.

Medicare and Medicaid fraud. California healthcare corruption. Constitutional crisis. California is now being called the epicenter of Medicare and Medicaid fraud, with billions of taxpayer dollars allegedly lost to fake patients, phantom billing, and sham hospice operations. In this full podcast episode, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services explains why Los Angeles has become ground zero for healthcare fraud and how these schemes drain public healthcare programs meant to serve real patients. Dr. Oz alleges that organized fraud networks are exploiting Medicare and Medicaid at massive scale. Gavin Newsom denies the claims, accusing Oz of exaggeration and discrimination — escalating the conflict into a political and legal firestorm. This episode then turns to a second crisis: federal law vs state and city governments. Across blue cities, police departments are ordered to monitor and film ICE agents, federal officers are barred from city property, and taxpayer funds are used to oppose federal immigration enforcement. Is this lawful protest — or obstruction of federal authority? Constitutional attorney Josh Hammer breaks down:     •    The Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution     •    When state resistance becomes unconstitutional     •    The legal implications of **Don Lemon arrest     •    What legal remedies exist to restore order without destabilizing the country This episode covers Medicare fraud, Medicaid abuse, California corruption, federal vs state power, ICE enforcement, constitutional law, and government overreach — with facts, legal analysis, and real consequences.

Do new UAP sightings mean alien contact is imminent? Lue Elizondo is a former U.S. Army counterintelligence special agent and a former senior intelligence officer for the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. With decades of experience in national security, he conducted and supervised clandestine operations worldwide, specializing in counterterrorism, espionage, and advanced aerospace threats. He is best known for his role as the former head of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), where he investigated unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and pushed for greater transparency on non-human intelligence (NHI). In this show, Elizondo reveals the existence of a decades-long “Legacy Program”—a covert operation investigating unidentified aerial phenomena that operated without congressional oversight for more than 80 years. This isn’t about blurry lights in the sky. It’s about crash retrievals, exotic materials, and physical craft allegedly in U.S. possession dating back to Roswell and beyond, quietly studied by the military-industrial complex while the public was fed weather balloon and swamp gas cover stories. He describes the Cold War you never learned about—not just a race to the moon, but a race to reverse-engineer technology so advanced it makes nuclear weapons look primitive. Then comes the phrase that changed everything: “non-human biologics.” The conversation shifted from metal to flesh. Not drones—occupants. Craft that were piloted. Pilots that didn’t survive. The science is even more unsettling. These UAPs demonstrate capabilities that defy known physics: instantaneous acceleration, hypersonic speed without sonic booms, and right-angle turns that would liquefy a human body. The implication? They may not be “traveling” at all—but warping space-time itself, moving inside a gravitational bubble. And what if they aren’t coming from far away? Elizondo weighs theories that these entities may be interdimensional, not extraterrestrial—originating not light-years away, but right here, just beyond our perceptual bandwidth. While we smash particles at CERN to glimpse the fabric of reality, these craft appear to move through it. From the Tic Tac incident, to swarms over Langley Air Force Base, to a recent triangle-shaped craft sighting over Area 51, the phenomenon is becoming more visible, more aggressive, and harder to dismiss. Elizondo’s message—echoed in the title of his book, Imminent—is clear: the clock is ticking. If contact is coming, the real question isn’t whether we’re ready technologically—but whether we’re ready socially, psychologically, and spiritually. A relationship with a non-human intelligence wouldn’t mean trade agreements. Elizondo explains what it could mean for a fundamental rewrite of physics, religion, power, and humanity’s place in the universe. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
In this episode, we sit down with Virginia Delegate and former Green Beret Nick Freitas to discuss the rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape and domestic unrest.

Jillian Michaels flies solo—and holds nothing back. In this explosive episode, Jillian dismantles the media narrative surrounding the tragic shooting of Renee Goode by ICE officer Jonathan Ross. While politicians and pundits whip the public into tribal hysteria—branding people as “villains” and “terrorists”—Jillian cuts through the noise to expose the real forces fueling the violence. This isn’t incompetence. It’s strategy. A cynical game of political chess where human lives are expendable collateral. Then she turns her fire on Oprah Winfrey. Is obesity really genetic—or is that a comforting lie designed to keep you dependent, medicated, and profitable? Jillian breaks down the science they don’t want you to hear, dismantles the “shame-free” marketing narrative, and exposes the financial conflicts of interest behind the sudden moral rebrand of weight-loss drugs. From Ozempic to Big Food to Big Pharma, this is how the system keeps you sick—and sells you the cure. No platitudes. No safe opinions. Just facts, incentives, and uncomfortable truths. In this episode, Jillian exposes: The ICE Shooting Investigation. Why federal agencies are sidelining local investigators. Blue City Chaos: How reckless language from top politicians escalates into real-world violence. The Ozempic Conflict: Oprah's financial entanglements behind the new “genetic destiny” storyline and GLP1 drugs. The BLISS POINT: How the “food” was engineered to hijack satiety and drive addiction. Big Tobacco’s Takeover: How cigarette giants bought the food industry and applied the same addiction science. The Science of Fat Loss. Why the First Law of Thermodynamics still applies—no matter how it’s marketed. The REAL REASON Why 74% of Americans Are Overweight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
REGIME CHANGE EXPOSED Dinesh D'Souza is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, award-winning filmmaker, and former White House policy analyst under Ronald Reagan. , Dinesh brings a unique insider perspective to the ruthless game of global power. In this episode, he cuts through the media hysteria to reveal the cold, hard truth about American intervention. 🔥 THE BREAKDOWN: AMERICA FIRST ≠ AMERICA ONLY: Does putting our country first mean ignoring the rest of the world? Dinesh argues that true nationalism sometimes requires bold global action—but only when it serves our interests. WHEN REGIME CHANGE ACTUALLY WORKS: Why do some interventions liberate nations while others create disasters? We analyze the specific conditions that make toppling a dictator viable versus a fool's errand. THE BACKFIRE EFFECT: From the Bay of Pigs to Iraq, Dinesh exposes why foreign intervention frequently backfires and creates worse enemies than before. THE SECRET INGREDIENT: Why internal politics matter infinitely more than external military force—and why you can’t force freedom on a population that isn't ready to fight for it. GREENLAND & THE ART OF THE THREAT: Dinesh dissects the crucial difference between influence, pressure, and direct action. Is Trump’s threat to invade Greenland a literal plan, or a masterclass in leverage? ISRAEL, IRAN, & THE "BIBI" OPTION: With the Mullahs on the ropes, should Trump intervene directly to help the Iranian people? Or is the smarter play to step back and let Netanyahu and Israel finish the job? THE MADURO TAKEDOWN: Why the media hates admitting that pressure on Venezuela works. We compare the recent strategies against Maduro to the failed, weak-kneed appeasement of the past. GOOD VS. BAD COUPS: When is toppling a government a moral duty? Dinesh breaks down the difference between a "Neocon endless war" and a "Liberation Strategy" that puts America First. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Is America descending from a culture war to a civil war?! Jillian Michaels sits with political journalist and firebrand Brad Palumbo to expose how the unthinkable is being normalized.  How political violence is openly celebrated, how extremist rhetoric is laundered through mainstream media and publicly elected politicians, and how figures with massive platforms are dragging the country toward something far darker than disagreement. We examine moments that should have ended careers—Jennifer Welch celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk—and instead became stepping stones to legitimacy. We dissect how Tucker Carlson reduced U.S. foreign policy to a conspiratorial narrative involving gay marriage and Jewish influence, how Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes stoke dangerous conspiracy theories bringing them from the most toxic corners of the internet the masses.  What follows is already visible: citizens encouraged to view federal law enforcement as tyrants, treated not as civil servants but as Hitler’s secret police. Neighbors are rebranded as enemies.  The scapegoating of minorities etc.  When violence is reframed as resistance, when institutions lose all legitimacy, history tells us exactly where this leads. This episode confronts the question no one wants to ask out loud:Are we sleepwalking toward civil war? Because when truth collapses, moral lines dissolve, and extremism is rewarded instead of confronted, the next phase isn’t debate.It’s conflict. Topics include: political radicalization, normalization of violence, conspiracy laundering, media corruption, delegitimization of institutions, tribalism, algorithmic extremism, and the growing risk of civil unrest in America.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Jillian is joined by David Harris Jr., a leading conservative voice known for fusing Christian faith with blunt cultural and political commentary. With millions following his work, David doesn’t dodge the hard questions about religion, morality, accountability, and where America is headed next. We break down: Why morals are collapsing in America How faith became a political battleground Whether belief is healing the nation—or tearing it apart What happens when a country loses its moral anchor America is in moral free fall. Institutions are failing. Truth is blurred. Power is shifting fast.  People are feeling more lost, overwhelmed, and alone than they have in decades. As the country spirals, faith has moved from personal belief to a cultural and political weapon.  Is religion the answer to personal peace and a principled life or another tool weaponized to divide us?

They told you it was about narco-terrorism. They told you it was about justice. They lied. The capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro isn't just a win for the DEA—it is a geopolitical earthquake involving oil, gold, silver, the war on terror, and a battle for global supremacy. In this explosive episode of Keeping It Real, Jillian Michaels sits down with Ex-CIA Covert Ops Officer Mike Baker (host of The President’s Daily Breif) and Constitutional Attorney Josh Hammer to reveal what the mainstream media and partisan pundits aren’t telling you. We strip away the headlines to expose the truth about what’s really going on, why, and what is likely to happen next: 🔥 INSIDE THIS EPISODE: PART 1: THE OPERATION & THE STRATEGY (w/ Mike Baker) The Intel: How the U.S. really pulled off the capture of Maduro (and the message it sends to Cuba and Iran.) Follow the Money: The role of Venezuela’s massive oil and gold reserves in the decision. The Adversaries: How Russia, China, Iran, and Cuba are reacting to losing their key ally in the Western Hemisphere. Checkmate or Chaos? Is this the move that forces Putin and Xi to the negotiating table, or have we just locked ourselves into another "Forever War” in the jungles of South America? PART 2: THE LAW & THE FALLOUT (w/ Josh Hammer) Legal Deep Dive: Did President Trump effectively break international law to get this done? The Precedent: Does this now open the door for China to take Taiwan? The Constitution: Is there any foundation for the domestic legal battles that are about to explode? The Verdict: Is there a loophole that could see Maduro walk free? This conversation goes beyond the "official story." If you want to understand the new rules of global power, you need to watch this.

HOW QATAR BOUGHT AMERICA

HOW QATAR BOUGHT AMERICA

2026-01-0401:15:07

A tiny country with unlimited money.A massive footprint inside U.S. politics, media, universities, and national security.And almost no public accountability. Investigative journalist Frannie Block (The Free Press) joins me to expose how Qatar quietly became one of the most powerful foreign players inside the United States — outspending nearly every other country outside of Saudi Arabia to shape narratives, policy, and power from the inside out. We break down how billions of dollars flow through universities, think tanks, lobbying firms, media outlets, journalists and influencers, and former U.S. officials, all while flying under the radar of the American public.   We cover:• How Qatar outspent every other foreign nation to buy influence in the U.S.• Why American universities became a key pipeline for foreign power• How lobbying, PR firms, and “cultural exchange” mask political influence• The FARA loopholes that make it all legal• Why politicians from both parties stay silent• How media narratives are shaped — and who benefits• Why this would be a national scandal if China or Russia did it This episode connects the dots between money, power, ideology, and silence — and asks the uncomfortable question: Who are the main perpetrators, how are they doing it, AND WHY?

I love you guys for doing this, but please don't spread false information. Having starlink in Iran would get you hanged. The internet connection was back on after two weeks and we can get connected with the use of VPNs and other tools.

O'Reilly wrongly portrayed the VAT in Europe as a tax on American products. It's a tax on all products from everywhere including Germany itself.

could you do a show with Brianna Wu (who might be the only hope of the Democratic Party, if it has one)?

I find it difficult to take you seriously when you can't pronounce medullary or Wegovy. It's not Wegvoy! Do your research before giving advice.

THIS. THIS. THIS. AMEN!!!!!! This might be the best podcast episode I've ever listened to. Thank you a million times over for COMMON SENSE. I'm so disgusted with the ignorance of society. I've checked out politically and just want people to be kind to each other. Thank you.
