In this two-part deep dive, we trace a dangerous arc from the 2016 Russia collusion hoax to today's open proxy war with Moscow. Part one revisits how key figures like Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Amy Klobuchar—armed with tanks and false accusations—provoked Russia while knowing the narrative of election interference was fabricated. Part two uncovers the alarming disconnect between U.S. intelligence agencies and Donald Trump, as massive drone strikes target Russian nuclear bombers. Former intel officials and insiders sound the alarm: if Trump didn’t know, we may be heading toward World War III under a shadow government. If he did—why is he silent? A gripping investigation into the lies, cover-ups, and escalations driving us to the brink.

This episode delivers a searing exposé on the roots of the U.S.-Russia conflict, tracing it back to 2016 when Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and Amy Klobuchar flew to Ukraine with tanks on Russia’s border—while knowing the Russia collusion narrative was false. Now, amid drone strikes deep inside Russian territory, the mystery deepens: Did Donald Trump know? His aides say no. Ukraine says yes. Former intelligence officials and commentators, including Mike Flynn, Steve Bannon, and Rebecca Koffler, warn of escalating NATO involvement and a dangerously uninformed Trump. Is the U.S. already in a direct kinetic war with Russia? And if Trump’s being kept in the dark, who’s really in control?

From Olympic controversy involving Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and Chinese Taipei’s Lin Yu-Ting, to leaked tests, censorship in the EU, and extradition threats—nothing is off limits. The episode then pivots to a chilling analysis of recent drone attacks deep inside Russian territory, reportedly carried out with NATO support. Has the U.S. officially entered a kinetic war with Moscow? Why was Trump allegedly left in the dark? And is anyone in the American intel community still keeping the public informed? With insights from Keith Kellogg, Rebecca Koffler, and Steve Bannon, this is a wake-up call few are willing to sound.

Tara and Lee dive into the disturbing story of a Hamas-linked terrorist who injured 16 Americans and nearly carried out a mass shooting—only stopped by a failed gun purchase.

On today’s broadcast of Sunrise Carolina, Tara peels back the layers of global hypocrisy and domestic dysfunction.

Tara then scorches the media’s double standard—highlighting how Cory Booker gets a pass for a salute identical to the one that got Elon Musk labeled a Nazi. She tackles the controversial claim that cutting USAID has killed 300,000 people, instead arguing it may have saved lives by halting U.S. funding to enemies like the Taliban and Hamas. With $9.4 billion in Trump-backed spending cuts—targeting NPR, PBS, and foreign aid—heading to Congress, Tara frames it as a litmus test for Republican resolve. Meanwhile, Iran is caught secretly enriching uranium, Poland moves to reject the EU’s migration pact, and the U.S. considers visa sanctions against EU censors.
