It’s been over a half century since the New York Knicks have hoisted a championship trophy and Lord knows they still have a tough road to hoe after winning game one. Richard reveals the extraordinary love that New Yorkers have for their team.

Federal judges, including Republican appointed judges, have raised alarms about how the Trump administration has flouted the law citing almost a hundred court orders that have been ignored, the majority dealing with immigration cases. Richard discusses the potential consequences for our country.

Here we introduce you to Bill Pulte the now acting Director of National Intelligence. Mr. Pulte is stunningly unqualified. He has zero experience in national security, let alone intelligence but does have a background in being a partisan troll. Richard gives you the details.

The Iranian regime we apparently overthrew is now dictating negotiating terms. The nuclear program we had supposedly obliterated not once, but twice is now apparently as real as ever. The Iranian military we were told was embarrassed and humiliated is somehow still attacking U.S. and regional assets, and the Strait of Hormuz that we were assured would never be compromised has become a global bottleneck with seismic economic implications. Richard updates us on the status of the war in Iran.

Today let’s honor those who have served our nation with distinction and to whom we owe an impossible debt of gratitude. Let’s also hope our leadership in Washington DC can the same.

Our President has his one time personal attorney Todd Blanche create a nearly 2-billion dollar political slush fund to pay criminals with your tax dollars, criminals who pled guilty to their crimes or were convicted by a jury of their peers. These are people who unlike you and me broke the law, some committing violence and even hospitalizing law enforcement. Republicans are possibly discovering a spine and drawing a line with democrats. Richard explains.

Richard explores the peculiar silence of Republican legislators in light of Trump's attempt to reward convicted and pardoned January 6th insurrectionists and other political allies with cash from an Anti-Weaponization slush fund.

As any conservative incumbent can attest, any disagreement with Trump will not only land you in his doghouse but will earn you a well financed primary opponent, even if it hurts their party’s chances in the general election. Richard looks at the primary defeat of Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and some other Republican candidates on Trump's bad side.

Trump offered to drop his lawsuit against the IRS in exchange for the creation of a nearly 2 billion dollar fund to compensate folks prosecuted by the Justice Department in the Biden Administration... including the 16 hundred rioters who stormed the Capitol preventing the peaceful transfer of power in support of Trump’s big lie of a stolen election. Outraged? Again? Richard explains.

Is China exploiting the war in Iran to maximize its advantage over the United States across military, economic, diplomatic and other fields? If we don’t start playing chess instead of checkers, we’ll look back and wonder why we ever let international relations decline this far. Richard explains.
