What A 'Countdown to War' Looks Like (Daniel Davis)

There's talk that Iran will reverse its nuclear weapons policy if the US and Israel attack once more. If this change occurs then the Israelis and US would likely consider using nuclear weapons. The other alternative to this escalation is for the US to withdraw from the region and simply allow Iran to charge a toll for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The US should be pursuing their own domestic oil developments.

Unconditional Acceptance: Putin’s New Terms Stun Europe (The Duran)

Putin's 90 minute call with Finland's Alexander Stubb and Norway's Jonas Gahr Støre went nowhere, and the Kremlin readout now demands unconditional acceptance of Russia's terms. In this episode we break down why Stubb is angling to become Europe's chief negotiator, why London spun a false Financial Times story, and why the push for a Ukraine ceasefire on current lines keeps hitting a wall. With Witkoff, Kushner and Dmitriev floating Arctic and energy deals, who is really stringing who along?

They’re Vaccinating Children While They’re Unconscious (Jimmy Dore)

Jimmy interviews epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher about reports that hospitals, including Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, are offering flu vaccinations to children while they are under anesthesia for unrelated medical procedures, raising questions about informed consent, patient safety, and financial incentives. Hulscher argues that administering vaccines during surgery could complicate the identification of adverse reactions and alleges that hospitals are expanding these programs partly to increase revenue.

The discussion broadens to COVID-19 vaccine policy, natural immunity, and financial conflicts in pediatric medicine, with Hulscher criticizing universal vaccination recommendations and citing studies that suggest links between vaccination and higher rates of illness. Jimmy challenges some of Hulscher’s claims by noting that major medical organizations have disputed the studies discussed, while the interview ultimately focuses on vaccine safety, medical transparency, informed consent, and the need to scrutinize financial incentives in healthcare.



What they're doing is sinister, and also stupid. If they use mRNA technology they're subjecting the patients to medical experimentation.

The Midterm Polls are WRONG? | Victor Davis Hanson Daily Brief

Are the 2026 midterm election polls telling the whole story, or are Republicans being underestimated once again?

In this episode of The Daily Brief, Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the approaching 2026 midterm elections, Donald Trump's strategy to mobilize Republican voters, and the critical Senate and House races that could determine control of Congress.

With Election Day approaching, Hanson questions the accuracy of political polling and argues that the Republican Party may be in a stronger position than many political commentators suggest. Drawing on historical midterm election results, the 2016 and 2024 presidential elections, and recent polling trends, Hanson examines whether Republicans can overcome the historical disadvantages facing the party in power.

Hanson also explores Trump's campaign rallies and their potential impact on voter turnout. Could Trump's ability to energize his political base make the difference in close congressional races?

The conversation turns to the national media, the Wall Street Journal, and the debate over Trump's tariff policies. Hanson argues that traditional economic and political institutions have overlooked the interests of American manufacturing workers and questions whether mainstream coverage accurately reflects the country's political mood.

Later, Hanson delivers an extended analysis of Elon Musk, examining his transformation from a celebrated technology entrepreneur to one of the most polarizing figures in American politics. From Tesla and SpaceX to Starlink and X, Hanson discusses Musk's technological achievements, his support for Donald Trump, and why he believes Democrats have turned against him.

The episode also examines California Governor Gavin Newsom's comments about democratic socialism, his potential presidential ambitions, and the direction of the Democratic Party heading toward 2028.

Finally, Hanson identifies the election contests he believes could reveal the true political mood of the country, including races in Michigan, Maine, Oregon, and Minnesota.

Will Republicans hold Congress? Are the polls underestimating Trump's supporters? And which races could determine the future of American politics?



The polls are likely skewed, but Trump has also done a lot this term to turn off his own supporters. The election result might be closer than many people think, but it's highly probable the election will go badly for the present Administration. The clip doesn't consider economic pressures and the high price of diesel fuel, plus the fact the US is involved in a war with Iran, something Trump promised not to do. No more wars.

EXPOSED: Minnesota Charged James O’Keefe With 2 Felonies After He Showed How Easy It Is To Cheat (Viva Frei)

This is yet another attempt by the establishment to censor alternative media exposing corruption.

This is EXACTLY what I’ve been saying..(Asmongold)

Asmongold reacts to Why Is The Right-Wing So Toothless? by Basic Logic.



The clip calls for people to rightly call out those on the left as terrorists and supporters of grooming gangs. You might not agree with every single point Asmongold raises in his review of the Basic Logic video, but he's generally correct about directly confronting the leftists. It's about winning the overall psychological/societal battle.
