  • The Slush Fund Is Dead | A Federal Judge Torches Trump's IRS Deal — July 14, 2026

    A federal judge just nullified Donald Trump's $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, ruling his IRS lawsuit was brought for an improper purpose and sanctioning his lawyers days before Todd Blanche's Attorney General confirmation hearing. Adam Kinzinger breaks down the ruling, plus ICE suspending vehicle stops after two deadly shootings in Maine and Houston, Trump's plan to release classified 2020 election documents ahead of a prime-time speech, the 20 percent Strait of Hormuz toll he abandoned in a day, and Marco Rubio's campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court.

  • No Line He Won't Cross | Trump Uses Lindsey Graham's Death to Push the SAVE Act — July 13, 2026

    Adam Kinzinger remembers Senator Lindsey Graham, then breaks down how Donald Trump marked his friend's death: by going on Meet the Press within hours and turning it into a pitch for the SAVE America Act, his stalled voting bill. Also on today's show: the Justice Department subpoenas four New York Times reporters over the Air Force One story, Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz closed as Trump claims a 20 percent toll on all cargo, a Trump-appointed judge dismisses the Proud Boys seditious conspiracy case, and the FBI fires two analysts who refused to join the Georgia 2020 election investigation.

  • Platner Drops Out | Trump Casts Doubt on the Woman Who Accused Him — July 9, 2026

    On today's Kinzinger Report: Graham Platner is out of the Maine Senate race after a sexual assault accusation, and when Trump was asked about it, he didn't go after the Democrats. He went after the woman. Adam breaks down why he does this every single time in today's show. He also gets into why Trump refused to board his brand new Qatar-gifted Air Force One after the NATO summit, the Pentagon running out of money, the White House's new "Freedom Fuel" gas stations, and the President denying disaster relief to four states because they didn't vote for him.

  • Back to War | Trump's Iran Ceasefire Collapses — July 8, 2026

    The ceasefire Trump spent all summer bragging about is dead. Adam Kinzinger breaks down the overnight US strikes on Iran, the spike in oil prices Americans will feel at the pump, and a NATO summit where the President demanded Greenland, cut off trade with Spain, and confused Zelensky with Putin in front of the world. Plus some actual good news: courts protected your vote twice in one day, even with a Trump-appointed judge on the bench. And in Texas, the GOP's Senate nominee Ken Paxton, who built his career hunting voter fraud, now stands accused of committing it himself.

  • Trump Loses in Court Again | Judge Orders Legal Immigration Applications to Restart — July 7, 2026

    Adam Kinzinger breaks down a federal judge's order forcing the Trump administration to unfreeze green card and work permit applications for immigrants who are already here legally, and why the ruling exposes the "legal immigration" talking point. Plus: Trump's oldest friend Peter Ticktin pushes a national emergency plan to take federal control of the midterm elections, Kevin McCarthy's response to the Maine Senate race scandal ignores his own party's record, a $13 million helipad goes up on the White House South Lawn, and Trump backs Turkey's return to the F-35 program at the NATO summit.

  • Reclaim America? | White Nationalists March on DC and Trump's Cabinet Won't Condemn It — July 6, 2026

    Hundreds of masked members of the white nationalist group Patriot Front marched through Washington on July 4th, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum wouldn't condemn them when asked directly. Adam breaks down the photo that defined the weekend, Trump overruling safety officials before falling asleep at his own fireworks, the President's communism rhetoric while his government owns a stake in Intel, the phone call to FIFA that erased Folarin Balogun's World Cup suspension, and Russia's deadly strikes on Kyiv ahead of the NATO summit in Turkey.

  • Cashing In | Trump's $1.4B Crypto Windfall — July 1, 2026

    Trump's new financial disclosure runs 927 pages and shows he pulled in at least $1.4 billion from crypto in his first year back in office, most of it from a meme coin with his own face on it. Adam breaks down what it means for a sitting president to profit this openly from the office he holds. Plus: House Republicans tank the defense bill and leave town early for the Fourth, freezing a troop pay raise on their way out; Congressman Tom Kean Jr. returns after nearly four months away and explains why; the right scrambles for ways around its Supreme Court birthright citizenship loss; and a tightening Texas Senate race has Republicans convening in Dallas to save Ken Paxton.

  • The Constitution Holds | SCOTUS Strikes Down Trump's Bid to End Birthright Citizenship — June 30, 2026

    The Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, striking down Trump's executive order in a 6-3 ruling. Plus: Trump calls the bipartisan housing bill a "big yawn" while building a $500 million White House ballroom, a plan to issue 250 pardons for America's 250th birthday, confusion over US-Iran talks in Qatar and Trump's demand for $2.50 gas, and a federal judge calling the Gateway Tunnel funding freeze "flagrantly illegal."

  • Trump Loses at the Supreme Court | Mail Ballots and the Carroll Verdict — June 29, 2026

    Donald Trump had a rough morning at the Supreme Court. In a 5-4 ruling written by his own appointee Amy Coney Barrett, the justices upheld Mississippi's grace period for mail ballots postmarked by Election Day, rejecting a challenge brought by the RNC and backed by Trump's Justice Department. The same morning, the Court refused to hear his appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case, leaving the jury's verdict — and the $5 million he owes her — in place.

    Adam also digs into a New York Times investigation of the Trump family's stake in a Kazakhstan tungsten deal financed with taxpayer money, the election operative with no intelligence background now running staff at the nation's top spy agency, the fabricated CPS hoax that pulled Pete Buttigieg's children into a police interview, and the president's half-empty 250th birthday fair on the National Mall.
