Plus: US strikes Iran, the Texas murder verdict, $70B for ICE & the SPLC hearing meltdown, all in today's episode.

186,000 deceased people were still receiving food stamps as of last July, according to the USDA's own report: $419 million a year, with another $3 billion flagged as potential fraud, waste, and abuse. But the number isn't the story. The story is why 21 states marched into federal court to keep the audit data sealed, and the broken incentive Chuck names that guarantees the stealing continues.

And while the books bleed, US forces struck Iranian radar and air defense sites after an Apache went down over the Strait of Hormuz. Two pilots in the water, a rescue boat with nobody at the helm, and what one senior official reportedly called a hand-of-God moment. Then: a Collin County jury needed just three hours in the Austin Metcalf case. Redfin says home sellers now outnumber buyers by 47 percent, the most lopsided market in six years, and Chuck asks why nobody in Washington wants it fixed before the midterms. A $70 billion ICE and Border Patrol bill sails through with no riots and no screaming, and Chuck wants to know what changed. And the SPLC's president sits before the House Judiciary Committee unable to answer one simple question, while the room laughs.

There is a famine of truth in our land. Truth starts now.

Plus: Politico's climate brand folds after a $458K taxpayer defunding, a 27-year airline captain takes the FAA to court over the COVID shots, and 55% of Democrats say they'd rather live somewhere else — all in today's episode.

An investigator knocked on a California door and met a woman the state's own voter rolls credit with voting in 51 elections — and list as 126 years old. She says she was born in 1940. She says she never cast those ballots. So who did, and how many more records look exactly like hers before the next round of ballots goes out? (Per investigative reporter Nick Shirley, citing the California Secretary of State's voter rolls.)

That's one of six stories this morning. We also walk through the restored DC Reflecting Pool and what it cost compared to the last administration, the half-million-dollar EPA subscription cut that just took down a Politico brand, the court documents at the center of an airline captain's fight with the FAA, an election-law expert's blunt verdict on how California's system is built, and a brand-new poll on how many Democrats want out of the country. There is a famine of truth in our land. This is your quick news fix.

Plus: the LA ballot-count chaos, the Pentagon cutting 180 faiths, Byron Donalds' parking-lot testimony, and the Mandalorian box-office collapse: all in today's episode.

President Trump sat down with NBC's Kristen Welker in Wisconsin for a wide-ranging interview, from Iran to gas prices. It was the last subject that blew it up. Pressed on his claims about California's still-uncounted election, Trump called the process and the press crooked, told Welker to call it quits, and walked out. We break down the exact exchange that ended the interview and what it says about trust in how we count votes.

Then: a Pentagon memo quietly slashed the military's recognized faiths from 211 to 31 under Secretary Pete Hegseth, and not everyone is calling it streamlining. Rep. Byron Donalds shares the testimony of the day he says he gave his life to Christ in a roadside parking lot. A 7.8 earthquake rocks the southern Philippines and triggers tsunami warnings across the Pacific. And Disney watches yet another Star Wars title stall at the box office. Six stories. Seven minutes. One biblical lens.

Plus: Trump's $700M COAL push, a 122K PAYROLLS surge, and a 250th rally performers are walking out on — all in today's episode.

A few years ago Victoria's Secret was a punchline trading below $15 a share, after the brand spent years chasing every cultural fad in sight. This week it closed north of $70. What changed? According to Breitbart's John Nolte, the company simply stopped apologizing for who its customers are and went back to what built it. There's a lesson buried in that stock chart, and it has nothing to do with lingerie. It's about what happens the moment normal people stop being bullied into pretending.

That same question runs under everything today. Trump just put $700 million behind American coal, with the administration projecting 14,000 jobs and grid relief across ten states. Private payrolls jumped 122,000 in May, the strongest hiring since early 2025 per ADP. An Arizona high-court ruling reshaped the case against the 2020 alternate electors, and the Senate held a showdown over proof-of-citizenship voting. And as the nation's 250th birthday approaches, the President is planning what he calls the greatest rally ever in DC, even as performers pull out over politics. There is a famine of truth in our land, and tonight Chuck asks the question that ties it all together: if we can rally around a brand, why not around our own country?

Plus: the House votes to rein in Trump on Iran, the GOP Senate moves against his new intel chief, and Trump floats a Vance-Rubio 2028 ticket — all in today's episode.

He stood beside Trump for four years. Now Mike Pence is on national television calling the movement that remade the Republican Party a "threat," and arguing the answer is to hand the wheel back to the old guard he himself calls the "country club right." Chuck breaks down what that phrase really means and why the timing should stop you cold.

And it doesn't end with Pence. The same week the House voted to pull back the president's war powers on Iran (215-208, per Epoch Times), key GOP senators started signaling they'll block his new acting intelligence chief. All of it lands on June 4: the 37th anniversary of Tiananmen Square, where thousands died building a replica of our Statue of Liberty and waiting for an America that stayed silent. Chuck connects the betrayal we ignored abroad to the revolt we can't ignore at home. There is a famine of truth in our land, and today it has names you'll recognize.

Plus: Dr. Oz says up to 35% of Obamacare enrollments may not be legitimate, the Supreme Court clears Alabama's congressional map for the midterms, Spielberg and Scorsese go all-in on AI, Scott Pelley is out at 60 Minutes, and a watchman's warning on the Congo Ebola outbreak. All in today's episode.

He sold the world an eco-friendly bank. Tree-planting. Carbon footprints. The kind of feel-good finance that opens wallets and quiets questions. Then a federal judge in Los Angeles handed Joseph Sanberg, co-founder of the green fintech Aspiration, 14 years in federal prison and called the scheme among the worst he had ever seen from the bench. The US Attorney's Office puts the losses to investors and lenders at more than $248 million. And the mechanism behind the con runs straight through those very tree-planting promises. Chuck connects the dots the headlines are skipping.

Then there's Dr. Oz, now running CMS, telling a White House briefing that as many as 35% of Obamacare enrollments might not be legitimate. The Supreme Court clears the way for Alabama's congressional map heading into the midterms. Spielberg and Scorsese break ranks and embrace AI while Hollywood panics. 60 Minutes shows Scott Pelley the door. And out of Congo, the International Rescue Committee warns the Ebola outbreak may be far larger than the official count admits, even as the outbreak-zone airport reopens. Six stories. Seven AM. One famine of truth.

Plus: Tina Peters walks free in Colorado, competition horses attacked in Las Vegas, Trump's Kennedy Center showdown with a federal judge, and a 50-year-old off-road rule erased overnight — all in today's episode.

Two years. Every single morning, six stories for 7 AM, a quick fix for a truth-starved country. And for the first time ever, Chuck Frank sat down to do the news and the well was dry. Not one nugget of gold. So what does it mean when a man who reads the Bible AND the headlines goes hunting for truth and comes home empty-handed? That silence is its own kind of warning. There is a famine of truth in our land, and today you don't just hear about it. You feel it.

There were events, sure. A name Chuck waited 600 days to say out loud finally crossed the wire out of Colorado. A teenager in Las Vegas did something cruel enough to end what was never hers to take. The President made a move on a crumbling Washington landmark that has the courts and Congress at war. And a rule older than half the people reading this just vanished without a sound. Reasonable stories, every one. But none of them the gold. Watch what the watchman found in a famine — and what he didn't.

Plus: a California mayor pleads guilty to spying for Communist China, Alberta's independence countdown begins, Big Tech's squeeze on American workers, and Franklin Graham takes on a Senate candidate over what the Bible says about abortion — all in today's episode.

The man they call the Trump of Britain just promised to do the unthinkable: release four decades of sealed government files and quadruple the budget for the investigators chasing down every official, officer, and bureaucrat who looked the other way (Reform UK's announced plan). Days later, the answer came back from the British state. Not cooperation. A referral for criminal prosecution over his public criticism of the courts. If you've watched what happened to a certain American the establishment wanted gone, you already know the shape of this story. Chuck walks you through why the people pushing the prosecution may be the ones with the most to hide.

But Britain wasn't the only place the mask slipped this week. An elected American official quietly admitted what she'd been doing for a foreign regime. A Canadian province set a date that could redraw a nation. A fired tech worker pulled back the curtain on who's really getting the high-paying American jobs. And a Senate candidate who wears his faith like a campaign button got reminded, chapter and verse, exactly where Scripture stands on the question he tried to dodge. Six stories. One morning. Truth starts now.

Plus: an Obama-appointed federal judge EXPOSED, Jill Biden's "stroke" story collapses & Bessent dismantles The Washington Post on live TV — all in today's episode.

Hezbollah has a Brazil problem. Or rather — Brazil has a Hezbollah problem, and as of next week, so does Lula. The State Department just dropped the foreign terrorist organization designation on the two most powerful criminal syndicates in the Western Hemisphere, and the timing is not an accident. Chuck breaks down the June 5 deadline, the 2018 congressional testimony that tied these gangs directly to Iran's proxy, and why Flávio Bolsonaro's quiet White House visit may have just shifted the entire balance of power in South America.

Plus: a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama is at the center of an 11th Circuit misconduct finding that Bloomberg Law has now confirmed in detail — and the named co-actor is somebody nobody saw coming. Jill Biden's new book just rewrote the story she told the country in 2024 — and Kayleigh McEnany called it on live TV. And Treasury Secretary Bessent walked into a press briefing this week holding a copy of The Washington Post — and what he did with it has the press corps still recovering.

This is the episode where Trump's hemisphere play, the Obama judiciary, and the Biden family's last story all collapse into one weekend.

Plus: a reported $200 BILLION in hidden PPP fraud, the largest murder-rate drop on record, 20 new deportation deals & Germany's move to control what you're allowed to see — all in today's episode.

A former senior CIA official with top-secret clearance has been arrested in Virginia, and federal agents say what came out of his home defies belief: more than 300 gold bars valued at over $40 million, roughly $2 million in cash, and a collection of 35 luxury watches. According to the FBI affidavit and court filings (reported by The Independent), the gold was requisitioned from the federal government as "work-related expenses" over a span of months. The question Chuck keeps circling back to: how does one man walk that much government gold straight out the door?

That's only the first thread. The SBA Administrator just told a White House Cabinet meeting that $200 billion in fraudulent PPP loans were buried by the previous administration. The White House is touting the largest single-year drop in the murder rate on record. Secretary Rubio confirmed deportation agreements with 20 nations. And across the Atlantic, Germany is moving to let the state decide which "trusted" news your feed is allowed to show you. Chuck reads it all through a Biblical and Constitutional lens, and asks what it means for the famine of truth in our land.
