Plus: gas prices up 40%, Trump heads to Beijing, Obama's $850M "Death Star" goes on sale, and the Met Gala stunt nobody saw coming. All in today's episode.

Twenty-one Indiana state senators voted against President Trump's redistricting plan back in December. Yesterday, primary voters answered. Trump-endorsed challengers swept the races that mattered most, and the message it just sent about the midterms is not subtle.

Then: gas prices have jumped almost 40% since March 1, and the reason has almost nothing to do with the pump. Trump heads to Beijing on May 14th, and the table he is walking into looks nothing like the one Beijing thought it was setting. The architects behind Obama's $850 million presidential center just revealed who pushed the "Death Star" design, and the gift shop is now hawking lapel-pin replicas for $30. And the Met Gala has a problem the museum staff could not have predicted.

Dear God in heaven, what we are watching unfold this week is not business as usual. The remnant is paying attention.

Truth starts now.

Plus: SCOTUS strikes Louisiana voting map 6-3, EU auto tariffs hit 25%, Houston doctor convicted for 1M+ opioid pills, White House moves on AI oversight & Gen Z packs NYC pews — all in today's episode.

The Strait of Hormuz lit up. US Apache and Seahawk helicopters destroyed six Iranian fast-attack boats on day one of Project Freedom, the US-led mission to move stranded commercial shipping through the strait. Iran fired cruise missiles and drones. Tehran launched a major barrage at the United Arab Emirates. And the President of the United States looked into a Fox News camera and warned that any Iranian strike on US vessels would result in the regime being "blown off the face of the earth." The conflict that began February 28 just escalated again.

The Supreme Court fast-tracked a 6-3 ruling invalidating Louisiana's 2024 congressional map, and Louisiana has already postponed its May 16 primary. Trump pushed European auto tariffs to 25% citing trade-deal failure. A Houston-area physician was federally convicted for distributing over a million opioid pills out of a cash-only clinic. The White House, which spent the last cycle telling Silicon Valley to roll out AI without restriction, is now drafting an executive order to vet AI models before public release. And in Greenwich Village, the foyer of a small Catholic church is standing-room only on Sunday evenings, mostly with people in their twenties. Dear God in heaven, watch what's happening.

Plus: Fugees rapper reports to federal prison over $120M Obama campaign scheme, Trump launches Section 301 against European "sponges," NATO faces disintegration warning, Taiwan defies Beijing — all in today's episode.

Iran just submitted a three-phase peace plan to the United States. They're not negotiating from strength. They're begging. The blockade hit April 13th, and the numbers tell the story Tehran doesn't want you to see — $170 million a day in lost revenue, storage tanks filling, the main export terminal at Kharg Island nearing capacity. And what nobody in legacy media is willing to explain is what happens NEXT if those wells are forced to stop pumping. Chuck breaks down the engineering reality of Iran's aging oil infrastructure, why a prolonged shutdown could mean billions in permanent damage, and why Trump can sit with his arms crossed and let the math do the work.

The Iran arc is just the start. A Fugees rapper just reported to a federal prison in Arizona to begin a 14-year sentence for funneling $120 million from a Malaysian billionaire into Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk says NATO is on the brink of disintegration as Trump pulls 5,000 troops from Germany — and signals more withdrawals from Italy and Spain are coming. Trump launches a Section 301 investigation into European drug-pricing freeloaders. Taiwan's president lands in Eswatini after Beijing pressured three African nations to revoke his overflight permits. And the Hoft brothers — pioneers of patriot media — both need urgent prayer tonight.

Dear God in heaven, what we're watching unfold isn't politics as usual. The remnant must stand.

Plus: a 57-year jobless claims low, the Trump IRA revolution, and the pro-life SCOTUS win nobody saw coming — all in today's episode.

The Supreme Court just struck down a state's congressional map in a 6-3 ruling, and the country's two most-watched election forecasters — Sabato's Crystal Ball and Cook Political Report — are now tracking SEVEN Democratic-held House seats across the South that could flip in 2026. Two in Louisiana. Two in Alabama. One each in Mississippi, Tennessee, and South Carolina. Plus Georgia's Second District as a possible additional target. Six months from the midterms, the map just changed.

But that's not even the only earthquake this week. Jobless claims just hit a level the country hasn't seen since September 1969. Trump signed an executive order that opens federal-grade retirement accounts to every American who's been locked out of one. The 75-day government shutdown ended — but ICE and Border Patrol got cut out of the deal. And the Supreme Court UNANIMOUSLY slapped down a blue state attorney general for going after pro-life pregnancy centers. Dear God in heaven, the watchman has been on the wall this week.

Plus: A new ATF director rips up Biden-era gun regs, Florida nets the GOP four seats, Powell holds rates HIGH on his way out, Democrats prep their redistricting counterattack, and a Tallahassee school hid a gender plan from a 13-year-old's parents. All in today's episode.

A federal arrest warrant just landed for former FBI Director James Comey. The charge? Multiple federal grand jury counts in North Carolina tied to an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to read "8647." Yes, seashells. The DOJ says it was a threat against the President. Comey says he just stumbled on it while walking the beach. Even Chuck isn't sure THIS is the way to bring him down — but as Chuck puts it, our Department of Justice is so broken, who knows why they decided to try to get him this way?

Then there's Jerome Powell, holding rates HIGH one more time on his way out the door. With March inflation at 3.3% (the highest since May 2024) and Pantheon Macroeconomics now floating a forecast that real rate cuts may not arrive until 2027 — conveniently after the midterms — Chuck connects the dots most outlets won't. Plus the SCOTUS Voting Rights Act ruling that just gave Florida the green light to redraw, the Democrat counterattack already taking shape across Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, and the 11th Circuit decision that said a school covertly affirming a 13-year-old's gender identity behind the parents' backs did not "shock the conscience." It shocked Chuck.

Plus: 22 federal raids hit Walz's Minnesota fraud ring, China's CCP enters emergency mode as the Strait of Hormuz stays closed, and the FCC moves on Disney's ABC license renewals across eight major markets — all in today's episode.

Senator Joni Ernst says she's found it. According to her referral letter and reporting by the Daily Wire, Biden administration officials at the Small Business Administration allegedly used the code word "Benghazi" in internal emails to conceal roughly $90 million in pandemic-era PPP loans funneled to Planned Parenthood after the organization had already been deemed ineligible. Now Ernst is asking the Department of Justice to investigate under a federal records statute that carries up to three years in prison for anyone who tries to conceal a federal record.

In today's episode, Chuck walks through the named officials in Ernst's crosshairs, the email chain reportedly titled "Benghazi PPP/PPH Decisions," and the loan forgiveness that allegedly followed the cover-up. Plus: federal agents executed 22 search warrants across the Twin Cities, the FBI publicly torched Tim Walz's attempt to claim credit, Beijing internally classified the Hormuz disruption as an emergency crisis, the FCC ordered early license renewal review for Disney's ABC stations in eight major markets, and Rep. Rosa DeLauro melted down on EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin after he cited the Loper Bright Supreme Court ruling. Truth starts now.

Plus: Melania demands Kimmel be fired, Trump torches 60 Minutes, and DeSantis redraws Florida. All in today's episode.

The mentalist hired to entertain at the White House Correspondents' Dinner was performing for the President when shots rang out. Oz Pearlman hit the deck inches from Donald Trump. Their eyes locked. He thought a bomb was about to detonate. He thought the President had been hurt. Then he had to crawl off the stage not knowing if Trump was alive. Chuck Frank breaks down the eyewitness account most outlets aren't replaying in full.

Then the press tour got worse. Norah O'Donnell sat across from the President on 60 Minutes and read aloud from the alleged shooter's writings. Trump's reaction was instant. Plus the Jimmy Kimmel "expectant widow" line that aired two days before the actual shooting and now has Melania calling on ABC to act. The DeSantis redistricting move that could flip four GOP seats while Virginia's 2025 redraw drew zero national outrage. And a closing prayer about a pattern Chuck believes the country isn't ready to face.

Plus: DOJ adds firing squads, four Senate Republicans torpedo the Save America Act, and a Florida Democrat files for reelection days before resigning under federal indictment. All in today's episode.

Cole Tomas Allen, 31, descended 17 floors of the Washington Hilton with a shotgun, a handgun, and a bag of knives. Before he stormed the WHCD ballroom, he wrote a manifesto and sent it to his family. He attended a No Kings protest. He donated to ActBlue. On Bluesky, he called President Trump the antichrist. A senior Trump administration official confirmed the details to Breitbart News. Chuck breaks down what the manifesto actually says and what the Secret Service missed in plain sight.

Then: The DOJ adds firing squads to federal capital cases as Acting AG Todd Blanche reverses Biden's commutation of 37 of 40 death row inmates. Rachel Bovard names the four Senate Republicans who voted down John Kennedy's Save America Act amendment 48 to 50. A Florida Democrat indicted for allegedly diverting $5 million in FEMA disaster relief filed for reelection four days before her resignation. A UFO whistleblower scheduled to testify before Congress turned up dead from a lethal four-drug overdose. And John Nolte explains what the Michael Jackson biopic critics may not have actually read.

Plus: Hasan Piker's disturbing defense of Luigi Mangione, a mom's RPG-loaded Lexus seized at the Arizona border, and a Utah 10-year-old's alleged kidnapping to Cuba — all in today's episode.

Eleven federal charges. Wire fraud. Money laundering. Conspiracy. The Southern Poverty Law Center — the self-appointed guardian of American decency — allegedly funneled donor dollars straight into the hands of the extremist groups it claimed to be fighting. And the donor list reads like a Hollywood after-party: George Clooney, former Apple CEO Tim Cook, George Soros, JP Morgan, and yes, even Chick-fil-A. FBI Director Kash Patel laid it out in one sentence: the charity that fought the Klan funded the Klan. Every patriot who ever got slandered by an SPLC "hate map" just watched the mask come off.

And that's just story six. Chuck breaks down Twitch celebrity Hasan Piker justifying an alleged cold-blood assassination as "social murder," a border bust that pulled an RPG launcher tube and 16 AK-style rifles out of a Lexus carrying three kids, a DOJ parental-kidnapping case involving a 10-year-old trafficked through Canada and Mexico to Havana, Todd Blanche's DOJ rescheduling medical marijuana for veterans and seniors, and Reps. Lauren Boebert and Eric Burlison exposing the FISA backdoor that's building a de facto gun registry. Congress has until April 30. The remnant is paying attention. Truth starts now.

Plus: Virginia judge blocks $64M redistricting push, Navy Secretary Phelan fired, Planned Parenthood's 40% gender surge, Trump halts Iran executions, and the FCC targets children's TV ratings — all in today's episode.

The "anti-hate" smear machine just got federally indicted on 11 counts. Prosecutors allege the Southern Poverty Law Center secretly funneled more than $3 million to individuals tied to the very extremist groups the SPLC publicly claimed to be fighting, including groups the DOJ named in the indictment from 2014 through 2023. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson served on the SPLC board in 2017, inside that alleged window. Chuck breaks down what the DOJ is charging, what it isn't, and why the legacy press is going quiet on a story that should be leading every broadcast this week.

Also in today's episode: a Virginia judge throws out a redistricting referendum bankrolled with more than $64 million in out-of-state Democratic money, a thin 51.5 to 48.5 margin unraveling in court before it was ever certified. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth fires Navy Secretary John Phelan effective immediately, with UnderSecretary Hung Cao stepping in. The FCC opens public comment on whether voluntary TV ratings from the 1990s are still telling parents what their kids are actually being shown. Concerned Women for America documents a 40 percent surge in gender-affirming care at Planned Parenthood's regional clinics. And President Trump intervenes directly on Truth Social, sparing eight Iranian women protesters from execution.
