While Xi Jinping was being welcomed at the White House, thousands of people who have lived under his government were in the streets of Washington telling America the other side. Organizers said more than 2,000 Tibetans came from across North America, joined by Uyghurs, Hong Kongers, Taiwanese, Southern Mongolians and Chinese pro-democracy activists, per Radio Free Asia. They marched through the city, rallied at the Chinese Embassy and near the Capitol, and held a candlelight vigil in Franklin Park. Their signs: "Free Tibet," "China out of Tibet now," "You are not welcome in the USA." Then it got ugly. When demonstrators lined a bridge to wave their flags over Xi's motorcade, Breitbart News reports pro-Beijing counter-demonstrators tried to grab their flags, smash their banners and shout them down; Tibetan protesters told reporters Chinese flags were used to cover their banners and some of them were pushed. And one of the people who came to cheer Xi, to the Straits Times: "I have an American green card now, but I'm Chinese, so of course I'm very excited to see Xi Dada." Uncle Xi. People who fled that regime came to our capital to speak freely, and people living here on green cards showed up to try to shut them up. That is the Chinese Communist Party right here on an American bridge. Chuck reads the story.

Also in today's episode: U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly orders the White House to "immediately return, reinstate, and restore" the press passes of CNN, MS NOW and Politico, writing "this is a high bar, but plaintiffs have met it," finding the passes were pulled without due process and, per CBS News, that nothing in the record before the lawsuit supported the national-security argument; the reporters are back in by noon Thursday, the order lasts 14 days, and the Justice Department plans to appeal; Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier writes the Sarasota County school board that a Pine View School history teacher allegedly labeled an eighth grader a "misogynist" over his conservative views after his parents said he was not to take part in political discussions, calling it "the reputational destruction of a child" and writing "if true, she should be fired," while the teacher says the letter is "not accurate at all compared to the actual investigation," per WFLA and WTSP; former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt tells Sean Hannity's podcast "the bias of omission is the most dangerous" and says some reporters have privately apologized for questions their editors made them ask, per Townhall and the Daily Signal; the former director of sports medicine at North Carolina State is arrested in Ocala, Florida on a Wake County indictment of 32 counts, nine felony counts of sexual contact under the pretext of medical treatment and 23 misdemeanor counts of sexual battery, involving fourteen former athletes, per WRAL and ESPN, and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty; Wired reports that "no one wants to date tech bros," and Chuck, a 1990s tech CEO, has a suggestion; and the New York Post decodes the top teen slang of 2026 in time for Thanksgiving.

"A useless organization." Argentina's president, Javier Milei, stood at the United Nations General Assembly rostrum Wednesday for the third year in a row and told the room what it is: an organization that exists, in his words as reported by Breitbart News, "only to feed a caste of fatally arrogant parasites disguised as well-meaning bureaucrats." He said "this sacred covenant has been broken," per UN News. He said the people charged with guaranteeing security and human rights "failed in their duty." On Israel, per the Times of Israel: they "systematically voted against Israel while remaining silent in the face of Islamic terrorism." And the line Al Jazeera pulled out: "Those who follow the rules receive no reward for doing so, while those who break them face no repercussions whatsoever." He raised the Falkland Islands, lined up with the United States on artificial intelligence, and closed the way he always closes: "Long live freedom." Two days, two presidents, same podium, same message. The United Nations is getting told the truth about itself this week, and it is coming from the elected leaders of free countries. Chuck reads the speech.

Also in today's episode: five networks, including Fox News, suspend their White House pool coverage in protest of the ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico, and Real America's Voice steps in as the pool crew for the president's UN trip, with Lindell TV joining it for Xi Jinping's arrival, offering the feed free to every outlet, per CNN Business and the Gateway Pundit, while Judge Timothy Kelly tells the Justice Department the White House does not appear to have given the reporters due process and says he will "try to get an answer as soon as I can," per CNBC and CNN; Paramount settles with twelve state attorneys general and clears the last big hurdle to taking over CNN's parent company, with $6 billion in cost savings promised and a CNN staffer telling the New York Post "it's like when you do hurricane coverage," per Breitbart News and the Washington Times; Seattle's new mayor puts $1.7 million into security for ten grocery stores in a city with nearly 7,500 larceny-theft offenses through May, per Fox News and Breitbart News, and radio host Jason Rantz says the answer is "a fully staffed and funded police department"; three-time Olympic gold medalist Nancy Hogshead-Makar sponsors a petition, now past 21,000 signatures, asking the WNBA to write down what a woman is, per the Daily Signal and OutKick; a Greenfield, Massachusetts bar whose owner lived in her truck to keep it open makes masks optional one night a week and its own customers tell it "I hope your venue gets firebombed," per The Boston Globe; and two fishermen in West Bengal follow a drowning elephant calf three kilometers down the Teesta River and bring it back to its mother, per WION.

760,000 people are coming off Obamacare. Vice President JD Vance's White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud canceled about 315,000 Affordable Care Act enrollments covering 760,000 people, sent 419,000 more enrollments for extra verification, and put the taxpayer savings at $2.2 billion, per the Associated Press and CNBC. The task force says 40 insurance agents and brokers were behind 50,000 fraudulent accounts worth $45 million; 66 agents have been cut off, 469 more are on the list, and there is a six-month freeze on new brokers signing anyone up. Dr. Mehmet Oz, who runs Medicare and Medicaid, said it plainly at the announcement: "These are not real people. We're not paying insurance for non-existent ghosts." Somebody was getting paid per signup. Some of those signups were nobody at all. And the taxpayer funded every one of them. Chuck reads the numbers, as reported by Mediaite off The Wall Street Journal, the Washington Examiner and the AP.

Also in today's episode: the president tells the United Nations General Assembly "there is no human right to illegal immigration, but there is a right to remain a sovereign nation," calls the Human Rights Council "craven hypocrites," says the United States will never allow its service members to face "show trials by an anti-American tribunal," and tells the room his Iran decision is a deal or "annihilate the Islamic Republic," adding "I believe we'll make a deal right after the election," per ABC, NBC and Breitbart News; the same day he signs a Greenland agreement with Denmark's Mette Frederiksen and Greenland's Jens-Frederik Nielsen that expands Pituffik Space Base, adds defense areas at Narsarsuaq and Mestersvig, blocks any non-NATO military installation on the island, and has no expiration date, per CBS News and CNBC; Lt. Col. Theresa Long, M.D., a retired Army flight surgeon and now senior medical military adviser to Secretary Kennedy, tells a federal court in a sworn declaration that she has "first hand knowledge of over 29 deaths of servicemembers after vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccines" and is tasked with reviewing 55,000 military adverse-event reports, including 2,544 death reports, per The Epoch Times and the Daily Caller News Foundation, and Chuck says out loud that a report is not a finding; Maryland's chief medical examiner rules the death of a man found hanging in Upper Marlboro a suicide, police say video shows no one else was involved, and Prince George's County Executive Aisha Braveboy tells the internet "He's dead, and he took his own life" and "Don't ask for clickbait and use this tragedy to get followers or to get likes," per NBC4 Washington and WTOP; the two largest transgender advocacy organizations' own annual counts of violent deaths have fallen by roughly half since 2021 and 2023, with their own caveat that the counts are incomplete, per Breitbart News and The Boston Globe; and a Missouri social studies teacher breaks a window with a rock, crosses the broken glass barefoot, and carries his older neighbor out of a burning house in a bear hug, per KMOV.

Forty-seven voter registration cards for one person. That is what one local clerk in Macomb County, Michigan told her county clerk, Anthony Forlini, who posted a video from his office last week captioned "This is not how things should be run." His account, as reported by The Gateway Pundit: more than 5,000 registration cards dropped on his county, names already on the rolls, signatures that do not match the state file, and cards turned in by paid collectors, "people who get paid by the form." In his words: "5,000 came through our county, and they are still coming in from organizations and groups that are out to make a buck and steal the election." He says the clerks estimate nine out of ten are not legitimate. That is their estimate, not a court finding. And a bad registration card is not a vote: Michigan checks these against the state file, which is exactly how the clerks caught them. The question Chuck leaves on the table is the one nobody has answered. Who is paying by the form, and why?

Also in today's episode: the president tells Fox's Trey Yingst he is in "deciding mode" on Iran and lays out three options, as Yingst reports them: wipe Iran out, let it rot economically, or make a deal, and Reuters reports he is open to meeting Iran's president at the United Nations this week; an IRGC spokesman answers through Fars that "the world will be astonished," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells CNBC that any airport, fuel supplier or ticket seller serving Iran's airlines from Wednesday "will be knocked out of the dollar system," and Iraq and Turkish Airlines cut Iran off; Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin tells Fox News of 151 arrests, 1,620 open cases of alleged non-citizen voting and 300,000 names under review, and a Pennsylvania green-card holder pleads guilty to voting in 2024, per WFMZ; AAA's national average for regular hits $4.48, the high of the year, up 16 cents in a week, while diesel sets a record at $6.51 and Brent crude slides below $100 on hopes for talks, per CNBC; Data Center Watch counts 45 data center projects worth $68 billion blocked or delayed in three months by local opposition, per Bloomberg; the creator of the 1619 Project writes in The New York Times Magazine that "I've failed both my values and my child," and her daughter's former principal, quoted by Fox News, calls lowered expectations "racism under the guise of antiracism"; a white emu takes the passing lane on the Polk Parkway; and Honor Flight Syracuse brings 85 veterans, 73 of them from Vietnam, home to a crowd, 50 years late.

Sixteen people in seven states have been charged with illegal voting, fraudulent voter registration and related crimes, the Justice Department announced Friday. The states: Texas, Idaho, Georgia, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Jersey and Michigan. In Texas alone, eight are accused of voting or registering to vote while they were not citizens. In Georgia, prosecutors allege one woman voted nine times between 2008 and 2024 and was not a citizen for any of them. In New Jersey, a defendant is accused of voting in 2018, 2020 and 2024 while allegedly making false statements on a naturalization application. Todd Blanche of the Justice Department: "We are seeing illegal aliens voting." Colin McDonald, also of the department: "America's elections are for Americans." The department's own warning: "Let this be a warning to anyone trying to cheat and undermine our elections." The Daily Caller reports this brings the administration's running total to 50 such charges. These are accusations, and every one of these people is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Chuck reads the department's announcement, as reported by Breitbart News and The Daily Caller.

ActBlue said it verified passport numbers on foreign donations. A new House report prints what verification meant, in ActBlue's own words. Three House committees, Judiciary, Administration and Oversight, released "Fraud on ActBlue, Part III," and unlike the first two it publishes the platform's internal messages: Slack traffic and supervisor notes. On the passport check, quoted in the report: "very basic validation, number of characters, to ensure that the number entered is a valid passport number ... but we do not verify the information in any other way." If you typed the right number of digits, that was a verified passport. Supervisors told fraud analysts to "give the donor the benefit of the doubt." One analyst, on a donation where every sign pointed to Canada and the billing address said Missouri: "Twitter seems to confirm that they are a real person." And the company's own legal counsel, in a message the report says was deleted seconds after it was posted: "Please stop deleting my requests. You are violating the laws and policies of our company." Chuck reads the report's own pages, as reported by The Gateway Pundit and RedState.

Also in today's episode: the Federal Reserve raises rates a quarter point to 3.75 to 4 percent, the first hike since 2023 and a unanimous vote under Chairman Kevin Warsh, the president's own pick, who says "the plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long," while the president posts that rates "should be 1% or less," per NBC News and CNBC, and the same week new jobless claims fall to 196,000 against a 208,000 forecast, with the year's average the lowest since 1969, per Breitbart Economics; Townhall's undercover video of a Texas Majority PAC organizer describing $25 payments to attend a one-hour Zoom class as "a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially," and the PAC fires him; a federal judge removes Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner from a murder case and refers him and a top deputy to the Justice Department, writing that they "may have violated the law," per the Philadelphia Inquirer, and Krasner says he "respectfully and vigorously" disagrees; the Justice Department sues two Atlanta lab executives under the False Claims Act, alleging schemes that worked church conferences and senior living communities to bill Medicare for genetic tests; streamer Hasan Piker tells Axios that "pound for pound" the United States is worse than al-Qaeda; a parade horse in Santa Fe outruns motorcycle officers, drones and professional cowboys and still makes the parade; Florida's "Lego Bandit"; and an Iowa family sets the first Guinness record for five generations born on the same day.

"I got you covered." According to the Kirk family's notice of claim, that is what Utah Valley University's police chief wrote back when a Turning Point official asked about roof access before Charlie Kirk's event. The notice, dated September 9, the day before the one-year mark, comes from Erika Kirk, Charlie's parents and his estate, and it names the State of Utah, Utah Valley University, the university police department, Chief Jeffrey Long and former president Astrid Tuminez. In Utah you must file a notice of claim before you can sue the state; the family has two years from his death to file the lawsuit itself. Family attorney Brett Parkinson, per the Deseret News: "His murder was entirely preventable and, in fact, would not have happened had the State of Utah and UVU followed through on their stated security promises, which included protecting the rooftops surrounding the quad where Charlie was speaking." ABC News quotes the notice: "Through a series of stunning failures and reckless decisions, the UVU parties created a foreseeable danger to Charlie." UVU, per the Deseret News: "We are aware of the notice of claim. UVU addresses legal matters consistent with our established processes." Butler, then Utah, another rooftop, and this time a family is asking who promised to watch it. Chuck reads the filing as reported by the Deseret News, ABC News and The Gateway Pundit.

Also in today's episode: the House buries Al Green's latest impeachment of President Trump 232 to 147, and per NTD and CBS News, 147 Democrats voted to keep it alive, 18 voted to kill it, and 46, including Hakeem Jeffries, voted present after calling impeachment "a sacred constitutional vehicle"; the Commerce Department says retail sales jumped 1.2 percent in August against a 0.7 percent forecast, per the Associated Press, not adjusted for inflation; the House passes a resolution to pull U.S. forces out of hostilities with Iran, 220 to 204, with seven Republicans voting yes, per The Hill and UPI; Thomas Massie files eight articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Speaker Johnson sends the House home early, calling it a "stunt," per the AP; 60 Minutes opens its season to 7.94 million viewers, down 21 percent and its smallest premiere audience since at least 2000, per Nielsen figures reported by TheWrap; an 84-year-old man returns a magazine to a New Hampshire library 132 years overdue and owes nothing; and two men are lifted out of a tree over the Hillsborough River by deputies and a state wildlife officer after their boat flips.

Somebody paid to cremate Thomas Crooks, and nobody is saying who. FBI records turned over to Senator Chuck Grassley's Judiciary Committee, first reported by the New York Post and reviewed by Fox News, include the Bureau's summary of its interview with the gunman's father, and at the very end, one line: an anonymous donor paid for the cremation. According to the records, the detail came from a lawyer for the family; the father was retired and the mother was on leave from work. The records do not identify the donor, do not explain the payment, and, per Fox News, establish no connection between that person and the attack. The same documents show Crooks used the alias "Bob Dole" to order suspicious packages before the shooting. Remember the timing: back in 2024, Congressman Clay Higgins said the FBI released the body for cremation about ten days after Butler, and that he tried to examine it and could not. An anonymous check, a fast cremation, and a body a congressman never got to see. People are going to ask. Chuck is asking already.

Also in today's episode: President Trump writes on Truth Social that by the time he took office "most of the information was missing, altered, corrupted, or gone" from the Butler investigation, calls former FBI Director Christopher Wray a "dirty cop," and offers no details, per CNN, while FBI Director Kash Patel tells the Senate Judiciary Committee the Bureau went through about 27 of the shooter's devices and found no contact with anyone but his parents; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tells the House there are "ways to do" the $5,000 Trump dividend "that would not affect the deficit," per Yahoo Finance, without saying which, while Speaker Johnson tells the AP Congress would need to act; Catholic parents in Southborough, Massachusetts say the state took their daughter at 15 after they would not call her a boy, a judge blocks the state's request to give her testosterone, and the next hearing is October 29, per IBTimes UK; the Air Force Secretary says out loud for the first time that the United States "now has on-orbit space control weapons," per the Associated Press and Air and Space Forces Magazine; the International Energy Agency says global coal demand will hit a record 8.94 billion tonnes this year because gas stopped coming through Hormuz; and a Hillsborough County deputy chases a five-week-old kitten off Interstate 275 in Tampa, then takes him home and names him Dash.

Former CIA Director John Brennan has been ordered to appear October 15 before a federal grand jury in Fort Pierce, Florida, and his own lawyer says he "remains a target." The subpoena was handed to attorney Ken Wainstein last Thursday and disclosed in a court filing Monday, according to the Associated Press and Fox News. Fort Pierce is the courthouse where Judge Aileen Cannon sits, the judge who threw out the classified documents case against President Trump in 2024. The AP reports the grand jury is part of a "far-reaching" criminal investigation into whether the officials who investigated Donald Trump over the last decade, from the 2016 Russia probe to the Mar-a-Lago documents case, conspired to deprive him of his civil rights. Wainstein's filing says a prosecutor told him Brennan is still a target of a separate Washington investigation into whether he lied to Congress in 2023, which Brennan and his lawyers deny. Wainstein, per the AP: "There's a lot of really underhanded stuff going on," and "The reality is there's no precedent for this situation." The prosecutor who had been leading the conspiracy probe, Joe diGenova, resigned the same day the subpoena went out. There was no precedent for the CIA director signing off on the Russia story either. Chuck reads who sits across the table on October 15.

Also in today's episode: the 10-year Treasury yield crosses 5 percent Monday morning for the first time since 2023, per CNN and Breitbart, and the average 30-year mortgage is already at 6.76 percent, up from 6.15 at the start of the year; the "Stand With the Juror" fundraiser for the Lindsay Clancy holdout passes $115,000 while Plymouth County decides whether to try the case again, per The Gateway Pundit and TMZ; Barack Obama tells House Democrats at a private New York fundraiser, per a partial transcript reported by The New York Times, "Once you are speaker," put artificial intelligence at the center of the agenda; a North Carolina State House nominee's posts bearing her name, per WRAL and Breitbart, hope for "an attack on US soil" and caption a photo at the Dachau ovens "This is where Trump supporters belong," and her own party pulls its money and staff while her name stays on the ballot; the Canadian Armed Forces publish a rule that spiritual reflections at official ceremonies "do not use religious specific language, including references to God," in the policy's own words on the government's website, and Canada's Catholic military bishop answers it; a Long Island congressional nominee's past modeling for an adult retailer's ads, confirmed by his own lawyer per the New York Post; and Craig Berg, 70, of Royal Oak, Michigan, found alive and alert after a week lost on Isle Royale and lifted out by a Coast Guard helicopter.

Last Thursday, September 10, Turning Point USA unveiled an eight-foot bronze statue of Charlie Kirk outside its headquarters in Phoenix, one year to the day after he was shot and killed at Utah Valley University. It lasted three days. Sunday morning, just after 8:00, Phoenix Police got the calls. Somebody had been at it in the night with red spray paint: the face, the neck, the torso, the hand, the hats, and a frowning face drawn across the chest. Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck, and whoever did this put the red on the neck. At the base of the statue is a sign with his picture and the words "Jesus defeated death so you can live." They crossed out the word Jesus. They crossed out the cross. Fox News reports the word "Satan" was written over it. Tyler Bowyer of Turning Point put it this way: "This morning we woke up to radical criminals vandalizing our headquarters, crossing over Charlie's face, scratching out Jesus and the cross, and spraying red paint on his neck." Turning Point is going through the security footage with law enforcement; Phoenix Police say it is under investigation and there are no arrests. They did not just go after a man. They went after the name of Jesus on his memorial. Chuck reads it as reported by Fox News, FOX 10 Phoenix and Breitbart News.

Also in today's episode: the president says from his golf course in Ireland that Iran "wants to make a deal so badly, they are calling constantly," that the war ends "right after the midterms" and "gasoline's gonna drop like a rock," while AAA's Sunday numbers put regular at $4.31 and diesel at $6.20, over six dollars for the first time and $2.50 more than a year ago; a Massachusetts jury deadlocks 11 to 1 in the Lindsay Clancy case, NBC10 Boston digs into the lone holdout's court record, and Governor DeSantis answers, "If the juror is being harassed, Florida will provide asylum"; federal prosecutors subpoena six years of records on the nonprofit that pays for Gavin Newsom's travel, per the San Francisco Standard, with no one charged; Emmanuel Macron falls to 16 percent approval in an Ipsos poll, his lowest since 2017; The Gateway Pundit's own documentary about the five men prosecuted over January 6 premieres in West Palm Beach on the 26th; Senator Ted Cruz is booed through nine minutes on ESPN's College GameDay in Austin; and Congressman Tom Tiffany's plane loses power and lands in Lake Wausau, he swims to safety, and his Democratic opponent says he is "grateful to God" that no one was hurt.
