In this extended and unfiltered episode of What’s New with ME, host Ali Mehdaoui breaks down the most pressing and controversial headlines shaping the United States and the world today—cutting through political spin, media noise, and social media outrage to focus on facts, context, and human impact.
We begin with President Donald Trump’s renewed comments on Greenland, exploring why the rhetoric has reignited global debate, strained relationships with allies, and frustrated parts of his own base who voted on America First, affordability, and transparency. With Trump’s approval rating dipping to 39%, we examine where he’s delivering—and where supporters say he’s falling short.
Next, we address the growing public outrage surrounding the Epstein files, the lack of full transparency, and unanswered subpoenas—including continued silence from powerful political figures. Why does this issue continue to erode trust, and why are Americans across the political spectrum demanding real accountability?
The show then turns international, covering the escalating unrest in Iran, reported death tolls, the United Nations’ response, and where the United States currently stands. We discuss the humanitarian crisis, geopolitical implications, and why this story matters far beyond headlines.
From there, we break down the Federal Reserve shakeup, including Trump’s consideration of a new Fed Chair, what that means for inflation, markets, interest rates, and the everyday American household—and why economists and political commentators are sharply divided.
Finally, we address a deeply personal and emotional issue: protesters disrupting a church service over ICE policy. Ali delivers a clear, unapologetic response on why places of worship must remain sacred spaces—free from political confrontation—especially when families are present. Regardless of political beliefs, some lines should never be crossed.
Throughout the episode, we also examine social media reactions and prime-time political commentary from across the spectrum—balancing satire, empathy, frustration, and truth.
If you’re looking for context over chaos, clarity over clicks, and commentary that respects both facts and faith, this episode is for you.
