Donald Trump has launched a new war on the cartels, escalating U.S. military action after a Venezuelan drug boat linked to the Tren de Aragua cartel was destroyed, killing 11 members. Ben Domenech explains why this marks a dramatic shift in America’s fight against cartel power and what it could mean for the border. Then, NFL legend Mark Schlereth breaks down the biggest football storylines heading into the season — including whether Travis Hunter can truly play both sides of the ball, Trevor Lawrence’s make-or-break year, and why offensive line play is the real backbone of the league. Later, journalist Matt Taibbi joins to unpack his reporting on the Twitter Files, FBI leaks, and the rise of AI-driven censorship. From Russiagate to Silicon Valley’s obsession with transhumanism, Taibbi warns that America is facing a dangerous new phase of surveillance and media manipulation — one that could rival the scandals of Watergate.
