s the narrative around Ukraine, Trump, and the coming midterms beginning to crack?

On this episode, Chris Michaels delivers a blistering breakdown of the political forces quietly reshaping U.S. foreign policy, media narratives, and power inside the Republican Party. From a New York Times profile targeting Trump insider Susie Wiles, to growing unrest within the MAGA base, Michaels argues this isn’t about personality conflicts — it’s about control, obedience, and money.

The show examines why dissent inside Trump’s orbit is suddenly being exposed, how pro-Israel lobbying pressure is influencing policy decisions, and why the push to homogenize political messaging is accelerating ahead of the midterm elections. Michaels connects the dots between the IHRA definition of antisemitism, speech policing, and the growing weaponization of accusations to silence opposition.

The episode then turns sharply to Ukraine, where reports of corruption investigations, missing funds, offshore accounts, and frozen Russian assets raise serious questions about where American tax dollars are really going. As peace talks stall over land concessions and Zelensky refuses elections, Michaels asks the question many in Washington won’t: is Zelensky being positioned for removal — and if so, by whom?

With NATO escalation, billion-dollar defense bills, and midterm strategy looming, this episode challenges the audience to confront an uncomfortable reality: America First may no longer be the priority — and World War III is being treated as a political strategy.

Unfiltered, unapologetic, and deeply critical of both parties, this is a warning shot about power, propaganda, and the cost of endless war.
