The program then turns to domestic politics and the 2026 Florida governor's race, where former House Speaker Paul Renner lays out a Florida first platform covering property taxes, parental rights, natural resource and Everglades protection, and the debate over large data centers and their demands on water and electricity. In the geopolitical hour, macroeconomist and author Dr. Pippa Malmgram breaks down what she describes as a Rubik's Cube strategy linking Iran, Ukraine, China, North Korea, and Europe, including Treasury sanctions on financial networks, the Strait of Hormuz, and the future of NATO.

The episode also features author and former Jane's Defense Weekly aerospace editor Nick Cook on zero point energy research, claims of suppressed technology, and the rising public and congressional attention to UAP and government disclosure. Across all three hours the panelists examine the theme framing the week, the contest between national sovereignty and established global institutions, and what a shift in that balance could mean for everyday Americans. Topics include American energy policy, national security, the Iran negotiations, the Florida governor's race, data center growth, and the UAP disclosure debate.

Brigadier General Blaine Holt (Ret.) steps in for Jake Smith to cap a week of Your News Talk America built around what the show calls fifth generation warfare and the contest between national sovereignty and globalism. In the first hour, Heritage Foundation senior research fellow Steve Yates joins live from Taipei to assess US China relations, the future of Taiwan arms sales, semiconductor supply chains, and how shifting alliances with Japan and the Philippines shape cross strait deterrence.

The second hour turns to health and biosecurity policy with epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher of the McCullough Foundation. The conversation examines ongoing debates over COVID vaccine safety and mRNA technology, declining US fertility and birth rates, the oversight of high containment laboratories and gain of function research, and the role of federal public health agencies. The segment reflects the panel's view that these medical questions belong in the same national security conversation as foreign policy.

In the third hour, retired US Army intelligence officer and Newsmax contributor Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer discusses turnover in the intelligence community, including the exit of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the limits of the DNI role, proposals to restructure and downsize intelligence agencies, and the push for accountability over past controversies.

The episode closes with The Federalist editor Brianna Lyman on the 2026 political landscape: recent primary results, the fight over the SAVE Act and Senate leadership, the midterm outlook, the influence of unelected congressional staffers, and where the Republican Party heads next. Heard on WGMD and at RealNewsTalk.com.

Brigadier General Blaine Holt (USAF, Ret.) guest hosts Your News Talk America for a three hour examination of the major foreign and domestic stories shaping the week. The show opens with the political shockwave of Ken Paxton's nearly 28 point primary win over Senator John Cornyn in Texas, the third Republican lawmaker primaried out in ten days, and what it signals about the GOP base, the path through the midterms, and the fight over the SAVE Act and the Senate filibuster. Trump political strategist Rick Gates and Newsmax anchor and Washington Times editor Kelly Sadler break down where the administration's agenda stands and what listeners should watch in Congress.

In the second hour, the conversation turns to national security. Maj. Gen. Cameron Holt (USAF, Ret.), former Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for contracting, joins for a deep dive on Pentagon procurement reform, the 4,500 pages of defense acquisition regulations weighing down the system, why the United States is sending million dollar missiles against three hundred thousand dollar drones, and how supply chain warfare has become a frontline domain in great power competition. Former Department of Energy official James Campos of Red Post Energy Futures follows with a hard look at America's grid crisis, the natural gas turbine shortage, data center power demand, and the strategy required to keep the country energy independent.

The final hour examines a draft framework reportedly circulated by Iranian state media to end the conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the role of Lloyd's of London and shipping insurance in the chokepoint standoff, and the expansion of the Abraham Accords to potentially include Turkey and Pakistan. Susan Kokinda of Promethean Action and Middle East expert Dr. Walid Phares of the Transatlantic Parliamentary Group join the discussion. The hour closes with Salute the Troops honoring United States Marine Corps Captain Gary Lloyd England.

Your News Talk America airs live weekdays 9:06 AM ET on WGMD and WUSX, streaming at RealNewsTalk.com.

Brigadier General Blaine Holt (USAF, Ret.) takes the helm of Your News Talk America, filling in for Jake Smith with a special edition he calls "Blaine-O's Science Fair" — a three-hour tour of the American entrepreneurs, scientists, and inventors working to solve the country's hardest problems in manufacturing, energy, and defense. Holt frames the day around a single idea: that protecting the rights of inventors and innovators is a matter of national security, and that America's best days of building are still ahead.

Holt's guests showcase frontier American technology and the entrepreneurial spirit behind it. Evan Trevers of Lanth explains how reengineered permanent magnets are pulling foreign object debris off airport runways and could reshape maglev and mining. Innovation strategist Nick Smoot discusses Build Cities, community-driven innovation networks, and how Americans can coexist with AI rather than fear it. Tech commercialization veteran Jay Modi breaks down what real AI and machine learning can do for fragile supply chains, while Michael Lassen of UAV Corp / Skyborne Technologies details next-generation airships built for persistent wide-area surveillance at events and borders.

The energy hour turns to American resilience and independence. Michael Coleman of Commando Fuels makes the case for hemp as a high-density domestic biofuel that can supplement diesel and jet fuel and strengthen vulnerable supply chains, and Holt previews Red Post Energy's gas-turbine generation as a fast fix for a strained electric grid facing surging demand from data centers and EVs. Throughout, Holt ties advanced manufacturing, energy security, and defense technology back to the entrepreneurs willing to build it.

This is news/talk for listeners who care about national security, energy policy, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and the future of American innovation — powered by the DIAL interactive listener platform, where the audience submits and votes on the questions in real time.

A special Memorial Day 2026 edition of Your News Talk America, guest-hosted by Brigadier General Blaine Holt (USAF, Ret.), filling in for Jake Smith. On a holiday marking America's 250th anniversary and more than one million service members lost across the nation's history, Holt and his guests move past the platitudes to confront what the day actually asks of the living: telling the stories of those who never came home, and standing up for the veterans, first responders, and Gold Star families who did.

The conversation tracks the national stories driving the moment. President Trump's posture toward Iran — a framework to end the conflict, open the Strait of Hormuz, and resolve enriched nuclear material in exchange for sanctions relief — sits alongside the human cost of Operation Epic Fury and the 13 service members killed since February. From there the program turns to the systemic failures veterans face after service: the firewall between the Defense Department and the VA, a transition process that strips identity and isolates the wounded, and a military mental-health culture that has long punished those who ask for help. Holt and his guests, all combat veterans, speak candidly about veteran suicide, the burden carried by commanders, and why so many continue serving long after they hang up the uniform.

Featured throughout are leaders turning that mission into action: combat surgeon Doc Pete Chambers; Under One Flag co-founder Mike Burns, who fights veteran isolation through outdoor adventures; Navy SEAL Mike Sorelli on military leadership, free enterprise, and the data-center workforce as a national security priority; Defenders Gateway CEO Carol Watanabe and her free, verified resource platform for the defender community; and Lt. Col. Matt Meck on election integrity and the upcoming Fraud Fighter Summit. It's a substantive, no-fluff look at sacrifice, service, and the responsibilities that outlast the battlefield.

FEATURED GUESTS

• Brigadier General Blaine Holt (USAF, Ret.) — Guest host filling in for Jake Smith; Newsmax contributor; host of the Dangerous Intellectuals podcast; former Deputy U.S. Military Representative to NATO
• Lt. Col. (Ret.) "Doc" Pete Chambers — Green Beret combat surgeon, flight surgeon, veteran of multiple deployments; former Texas gubernatorial candidate

• Lt. Cmdr. (Ret.) Mike Sorelli, U.S. Navy SEAL — Leader at Overwatch Mission Critical, a veteran-owned data-center workforce company

The focus then shifts to money and markets: the swearing-in of a new Federal Reserve chairman, central-bank gold buying and repatriation, the declining purchasing power of the dollar, and an extended look at the GENIUS Act, stablecoins, and what a move toward gold-linked Treasuries could mean for reshoring American manufacturing. Energy policy rounds out the conversation, with debate over nuclear power, small modular reactors, U.S. refinery capacity, and the strain that data centers place on water and the electrical grid.

The episode closes on American liberty and civic action — the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, federalism, and the case for engagement at the local and county level. Throughout, the broadcast frames current events as a "sovereignist versus globalist" struggle, paired with a Memorial Day reflection on those who served and did not return.

Guest host Brigadier General Blaine Holt (USAF, Ret.) leads a three hour examination of the financial, legal, and political pressures bearing down on ordinary citizens at home and across the West. The morning opens with Texas developer Mitch Vexler, who lays out his criminal complaint alleging systematic property tax fraud by appraisal districts, a practice he argues violates multiple constitutional protections and puts tens of millions of American households at risk of foreclosure. John Hart of Open the Books follows with a case for real time government transparency, describing new tools designed to give citizens, rather than the administrative state, the power of data and oversight.

In the second hour, Holt turns to Europe for a warning about where unchecked government power can lead. Irish farmer and activist Peter Connolly details the fuel tax protests and migration pressures straining Ireland, and former UK Member of Parliament Andrew Bridgen of Restore Britain describes mass demonstrations in London, arrests over social media posts, and what he sees as the cost of energy and immigration policy on British life.

The final hour features development economist Dr. Emily Brearley, author of Aid Inferno and a former World Bank insider, who argues that decades of foreign aid spending through USAID and international NGOs failed the world's poorest while enriching a Washington based aid industry. Drawing on his own military command experience in Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan, Holt connects her findings to broader questions of national security, accountability, and reform under Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Throughout, the program returns to a single theme: transparency, property rights, and citizen engagement as the line of defense against concentrated power. The episode closes with the recurring Salute the Troops tribute.

Guest host General Holt fills in for Jake Smith on Your News Talk America, opening with a wave of primary results and historic incumbent retirements ahead of the 2026 midterms before diving into a deeply reported look at California's collapsing refining capacity. Former Valero Benicia refinery operator Mike Ariza explains how the state went from dozens of refineries to a handful, why fuel imports now make up roughly 40 percent of supply, and how shutdowns combined with the Strait of Hormuz disruption could trigger cascading effects on fuel, ports, food supply chains, and military readiness across the western United States. The conversation makes the case for federal intervention through the Defense Production Act.

Dr. Peter McCullough joins to scrutinize the global health narrative coming out of the WHO and CDC, examining Ebola, hantavirus, and norovirus coverage, the science behind transmission claims, available therapeutics, and what he argues is a recurring pattern of fear messaging that sidelines treatment in favor of vaccine development. The show then turns to American liberty with retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Darren Gobb, who argues that the real fight for constitutional freedom begins not in Washington but in homes, families, and local government.

The episode closes with Nate Lewis of The Innocent, who outlines concrete, community-level ways citizens can engage in the fight against child exploitation and human trafficking, from local protector teams to funding officer training.

This is a news/talk discussion focused on energy policy, national security, public health, individual liberty, and child protection — with practical steps for listeners who want to get involved at the local level.

Guest host Brig. Gen. (ret) Blaine D. Holt closes out a three-hour edition of Your News Talk America with a deep-dive interview alongside Tom Luongo, host of Gold, Goats 'n Guns and Newsmax newsletter author, on the global economic chessboard. The conversation cuts past surface market noise to examine dollar liquidity as the single dominant variable driving everything from Treasury yields and oil prices to central bank behavior in London, Brussels, and Beijing.

Luongo and Holt frame the current moment as fifth-generation warfare between sovereigntist and globalist forces, arguing that rising bond yields, currency stress in the euro and pound, and the scramble for marginal barrels of oil are downstream of a deliberate strategy to drain offshore dollar leverage and pull capital back inside the United States. The discussion covers the future of the Federal Reserve under Kevin Warsh, the shift from LIBOR to SOFR, the role of stablecoins as middleware for a bifurcated dollar system, and how genius and clarity legislation could reroute credit creation away from the City of London and back to American banks and entrepreneurs.

The conversation then turns to the political battlefield: Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's testimony, the scope of Southern District of Florida investigations, Trump's primary challenge to Thomas Massie as a litmus test for endorsement power, the Iran pressure campaign and the question of whether the Strait of Hormuz is genuinely contested, and a provocative theory connecting Guantanamo expansion, Cuba operations, and the possibility of a delegate-seated 2028 convention. The hour closes with Holt's debrief tying together the day's earlier interviews with Victoria Coates, Tom Del Beccaro, and Lance at RedPost Energy, and a call to American entrepreneurs to put freedom to work.

Guest host Brigadier General Blaine Holt (Ret.) takes the YNTA microphone for Jake Smith and delivers three hours of straight-talk national security analysis, opening with the still-unresolved story of the CIA reportedly removing roughly 40 boxes of material from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — a move that runs against a standing presidential executive order and has constitutional-crisis implications. Lt. Col. Tony Shafer joins the conversation to walk through the bureaucratic warfare between Langley and the DNI, and what it says about the entrenched intelligence community under Director Tulsi Gabbard and DNI counsel John Ratcliffe.

The second hour pulls the camera back. Col. Roxanne Towner Watkins traces the historical roots of today's deep state from the late-1800s Fabian Society through Operation Paperclip, Operation Gladio, the Rockefeller-funded London School of Economics, and the Lugar bioweapons labs in Ukraine and Georgia. The conversation connects CIA tick-drop operations against Cuba in the 1960s to today's alpha-gal syndrome outbreaks and the broader "strategy of tension" being used to pressure the American public.

Hour three turns to the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing. Joshua Philipp of Epoch Times' "Crossroads" unpacks what actually happened — the Strait of Hormuz pressure play, Chinese cash-flow problems, the purge of Xi's defense-industry leadership after the J-20 program was exposed as a farce, and why Chinese foreign direct investment in the U.S. may be a sovereignty trap dressed as a trade deal. The show closes with Dr. Mary Bowden on the simultaneous Hantavirus, norovirus, Ebola, and alpha-gal stories now flooding the news cycle, and whether the medical establishment is dusting off the 2020 playbook.

Anchorman Jake Smith leads with the explosive Senate testimony of a CIA whistleblower confirming that agency scientists concluded early on that COVID-19 originated from the Wuhan lab — and that Dr. Anthony Fauci personally intervened to overrule them. Jake plays Fox News audio of committee chairman Sen. Rand Paul detailing how Fauci commissioned scientific papers in secret, pressured intelligence analysts, and shielded himself from accountability over gain-of-function research funding. Not a single Democrat attended the hearing, and the CIA publicly attacked the proceeding while it was still underway. Jake asks the question now hanging over Washington: will the preemptive Biden pardon allow Fauci to walk away from what may be the most consequential cover-up in modern history?

The program also examines the alleged CIA seizure of files from DNI Tulsi Gabbard's office — documents tied to the JFK and MLK assassinations and the CIA's MK-ULTRA mind-control program. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says the raid happened and has threatened a subpoena; Judge Andrew Napolitano says the CIA has no legal authority to conduct law-enforcement raids on U.S. soil and questions whether it occurred at all. Judge Napolitano also breaks down his latest column, "When Killing Becomes Commonplace," on the Navy's continued destruction of suspected narcotics boats — 56 vessels and 190 people killed without charges — and the overturned Murdaugh murder convictions in South Carolina.

International coverage centers on Iran, where former political prisoner Homera Hasami describes the regime's escalating executions of protesters and MEK members, the loss of Iran's supreme leader and senior commanders, and a planned mass demonstration in Washington, D.C. Dr. Steven Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute and one of the first China experts to publicly blame the Wuhan lab, analyzes Trump's upcoming summit with Xi Jinping, Beijing's loss of proxies in Venezuela and Cuba, and the demographic collapse triggered by China's one-child policy. Both guests address Pope Leo's controversial decision to bestow the Vatican's highest diplomatic honor on Iran's ambassador.

Rounding out the broadcast: Rabbi Michael Barclay on the terroristic attack outside a Brooklyn synagogue, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, California's AB 2017 push to make Islamic holidays state holidays, and the Paul Kessler case; Washington Examiner congressional reporter Lauren Green on the third reconciliation bill targeting federal fraud and how the Virginia Supreme Court redistricting decision is reshaping the 2026 midterm map; Homeland Security reporter Anna Giaritelli on DC crime statistics and Glock switch trafficking; and streaming-industry CEO Sean Stockell on subscription fatigue and the return of ad-supported viewing. Jake also announces that Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt will be guest-hosting beginning Monday.

Jake Smith and the YNTA panel open this morning with a national security story making waves: China has been selling illegal Glock switches to Americans through the mail. Washington Examiner homeland security reporter Anna Giaritelli joins the program to break down the investigation and what it means for U.S. law enforcement and border policy.

The panel also examines the heated Senate exchange between Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen and FBI Director Kash Patel, and turns to the escalating redistricting battles unfolding across the country. Epoch Times senior reporter Nathan Worcester, Louisiana radio and television host Jeff Crouere, and New American magazine publisher Dr. Steve Bonta weigh in on where the redistricting wars are headed and what's at stake heading into the next election cycle.

In the second half of the program, the panel looks at Pope Leo's decision to bestow the Vatican's highest diplomatic honor on Iran's ambassador, Ayatollah Muhammad Hussein Maktari, and what the gesture signals about Vatican–Tehran relations. Then, Alvin Lui of Courage Is a Habit and former eight-term Pennsylvania Congressman Dr. Tim Murphy join the conversation to discuss the fight over parental rights in New Jersey and the broader debate over parenting and mental health in America.

Truthful Tuesday on Your News Talk America with Jake Smith centers on President Trump's high stakes trip to Beijing for a face to face with Xi Jinping. Jake delivers a sharp monologue, "A Fool's Errand," tracing every American president's pilgrimage to China back to Nixon's 1972 handover and arguing that normalization has cost the United States its industrial base, military technology, and intellectual property. Panels with Heritage Foundation policy analyst Andrew Harding, Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon G. Chang, and retired Marine Colonel Grant Newsom dig into Xi Jinping's grip on the PLA, the trillion dollar Chinese investment push reported by the New York Times, and why CEOs from Apple, Tesla, BlackRock, Boeing, Citi, and Goldman Sachs are accompanying the delegation.

The broadcast also turns hard against the legacy press. Jake walks through Media Research Center reporting that CNN and MSNBC have effectively become defense attorneys for Cole Thomas Allen, the man who attempted to assassinate President Trump at the Washington Hilton, while ABC News gave zero minutes of coverage to a child exploitation sting that pulled Disney cruise workers off ships for deportation. The FCC license implications for Disney owned ABC stations are examined in detail.

Iran, Israel, and the new Middle East alignment frame the international hour. Professor Paul Davis of the Institute of World Politics, founder and president of JANUS Think, breaks down U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee's disclosure that Israel has sent Iron Dome batteries and personnel to the United Arab Emirates, the UAE's departure from OPEC, and reports that Iranian leadership is arranging transportation to Russia in case the regime collapses. i24 News senior correspondent Owen Alterman, reporting from Tel Aviv, walks through his explosive interview with convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, who is now running for the Knesset and blaming Prime Minister Netanyahu for the failures of October 7th.

Closing segments cover Trump's pro natal pivot with Sean Carney of 40 Days for Life, including the Moms.gov launch and the IVF rule, plus Todd Sheets, author of 2008, What Really Happened, on Chinese EVs, supply chain decoupling, and why tariffs were the right call. National security, election integrity, FCC enforcement, and the demographic future of the country run through the entire broadcast.

Jake Smith opens the week with a deep dive into the Iran nuclear standoff after President Trump dismissed Iran's latest multipage proposal as "totally unacceptable" over the weekend. Dr. John Marshall Callahan, Professor at the Institute of World Politics and former Deputy Spokesperson at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, joins Jake to explain Trump's tactical and operational patience approach, the role of Pakistan as mediator, and what the deployment of UK and French naval assets to the Strait of Hormuz means for the blockade. Brigadier General Blaine Holt, USAF (Ret.), returns later to discuss Putin's claim that the United States pulled out of a secret plutonium deal with Iran, reports of a covert Israeli base in Iraq, and Hezbollah backing off after the IDF strike on its Radwan special forces chief.

In a bonus segment added that morning, Ryan Morgan, Pentagon reporter for The Epoch Times, breaks down the latest from the Defense Department and what it signals for U.S. operations going forward. On the home front, former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli walks through the Virginia Supreme Court's Friday ruling striking down the Democrats' redistricting maps, explains why three justices dissented despite a clear constitutional violation, and looks ahead at the SAVE Act and the Senate Republican move to oust John Thune. Patrick Semmens of the National Right to Work Foundation discusses former Southwest Airlines flight attendant Charlene Carter's nearly $1 million jury verdict after six years of legal battles, a religious discrimination case that became a flashpoint in the Right to Work movement.

Jake's monologue, "Starving the Beast," takes on the property tax rebellion building across America, with Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Texas all examining ways to eliminate or restructure property taxation. Plus a fascinating conversation with author Rainer Zitelmann on The New Space Capitalism: The Entrepreneurial Path to the Stars, examining how SpaceX and other private companies are leaving government space programs behind. The show closes with Salute the Troops, honoring First Lieutenant Frank Luke Jr., the World War I ace and Medal of Honor recipient.

Jake Smith opens with the April jobs report showing 115,000 jobs added and unemployment steady at 4.3%, with senior research fellow Dr. Julia R. Cartwright of the American Institute for Economic Research weighing in on what the numbers say about the broader economy. Cartwright also breaks down the front-page New York Post story revealing that blue states have lost $2 trillion in wealth to red states over the past decade, with New York alone hemorrhaging $660 billion. She returns later to explain why state energy policy, not AI data centers, is the real driver behind rising electricity prices.

Public health researcher Victoria Akyea joins to discuss her new Washington Examiner op-ed on the Bernie Sanders backed "More Perfect University" project, an effort to counter Turning Point USA's influence on college campuses. Air Force Captain Mark Harris (Ret.) walks listeners through Houses of the Holy, his 17-years-in-the-making book exposing what he describes as a deeply entrenched network of government corruption, organized crime, and Masonic influence. Author Solomon Schmidt discusses A Pen to Change the World, the first complete biography of J.K. Rowling.

Christian Action Network President Martin Mawyer raises alarms over a Mother Jones investigation revealing that Silicon Valley figures including Peter Thiel, Sam Altman, Brian Armstrong, and Marc Andreessen are funding embryo screening and genetic editing technology that could pave the way to designer babies. Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen makes a notable appearance to defend his push for a War Powers Resolution against ongoing U.S. operations in Iran, with Jake pressing him on the constitutional questions. Plus: a major Virginia Supreme Court ruling on Democratic redistricting, the SAVE Act and noncitizen voting, the death of Spirit Airlines, and Dr. Murray Sabrin kicks off Countdown to 250.

Jake Smith and the Your News Talk America panel break down a packed news day starting with the proposed U.S.–Iran negotiated settlement and the 14-point plan reportedly submitted to President Trump. Former Iranian political prisoner Shireen Nariman warns the regime has a history of buying time, while former Shilo Mayor David Rubin argues any agreement signed in Tehran is likely "a wasted piece of paper." Daily Signal Managing Editor Keith Koffler weighs in on what a deal could mean for U.S. national security, Israel's next move, and how the issue lands ahead of the 2026 midterms.

The conversation turns to New York City, where Manhattan Institute expert Raphael Mangual examines the surge in anti-Semitic incidents in Forest Hills and Rego Park, the NYPD's response at the Park East synagogue protest, and Mayor Mamdani's controversial video filmed outside Citadel CEO Ken Griffin's Manhattan home — a move critics say could cost the city billions in lost investment and jobs. The panel also discusses parallels to AOC's role in pushing Amazon out of Queens.

Ascalon Six Capital founder Anthony Esposito joins to unpack the historic market rally, Mag 7 earnings concentration, Shiller P/E ratio warnings, Fed leadership transition expectations, the housing market, and the outlook for oil prices once the Strait of Hormuz reopens. The episode also recognizes U.S. Naval Reserve Captain Tim Kushnick, newly installed executive director of the Surface Advanced Warfighting School, in this week's Salute the Troops segment, and notes the disclosure that former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani's hospitalization stems from 9/11 ground zero respiratory illness.

Anchorman Jake Smith broadcasts on location from Greg Reddell State Farm in Salisbury, Maryland with a packed slate of national stories. Cornell University Law Professor William Jacobson breaks down a disturbing incident in which student activists opposed to Israel surrounded and effectively held the Cornell University president hostage in a campus parking lot following a planned provocation. Jacobson explains why he believes the encounter was deliberately staged, why the selectively edited video misrepresents what happened, and what legal recourse may apply under New York unlawful imprisonment statutes. Tom Savidge, economist with the American Institute for Economic Research, examines why young Americans remain pessimistic about the economy despite positive growth indicators and what Republicans must do to communicate the case ahead of the midterms.

From the Holy Land, Jonathan Feldstein, President of the Genesis 123 Foundation, joins to discuss a global initiative led by Iranian Christian Marzi Amirizadeh calling for seven days of prayer from the seven nations bordering Iran to lift what believers describe as a veil of darkness over the Iranian regime. Veteran business journalist Dennis Kneale, author of the new book Oregoners, addresses New York Mayor Mamdani's allocation of $500,000 for reparations talks despite the city's $5.4 billion budget gap, billionaire Ken Griffin's relocation of Citadel to Florida, and the policy crisis unfolding in Oregon.

Daniel Greenfield, CEO of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, reflects on the late David Horowitz's enduring relevance and what he describes as a communist insurgency targeting the United States. Katie Asher, author of The Book of Heaven written with her son Houston, discusses the Gen Z Catholic conversion boom and the rejection of consumerist megachurch models. Yoav Potash, documentarian and director of Among Neighbors, examines the rash of swastikas and antisemitic graffiti found across Forest Hills and Rego Park in Queens, New York, and the 70 percent rise in antisemitic incidents nationally since 2022.

Additional segments include Kurt Couchman of Americans for Prosperity on the Working Families Tax Cut and the case for a Balanced Budget Amendment, Richard Syrett (host of the Strange Planet podcast) on rock and roll mysteries from his book Tales from the Rock and Roll Twilight Zone, David Crawford on his book A Manual for the Dead, and a Salute the Troops tribute to U.S. Air Force Sergeant David Lynn Hastings of Laurel, killed at Phu Cat Air Base in South Vietnam in 1969.

Anchorman Jake Smith opens "Truthful Tuesday" with breaking news from the Strait of Hormuz, where the USS Truxtun and USS Mason came under sustained Iranian attack from small boats, missiles and drones while transiting under U.S. escort. Ryan Morgan, Pentagon and military reporter for The Epoch Times, joins fresh from the Pentagon briefing to break down Secretary Pete Hegseth's response, the 60-day War Powers timeline reset, the deployment of F-16s and Apache helicopters in support of Project Freedom, and President Trump's swift rejection of Iran's latest peace proposal.

In a wide-ranging health and science segment, biochemist Dr. David Rasnick discusses his new book Outsider: A Personal Odyssey into the Essence of Cancer, challenging the dominant gene-mutation model and arguing that cancer is fundamentally a disease of chromosomal imbalance. Tony Kinnett of The Daily Signal joins to discuss the rise of communist messaging in American education, the would-be Trump assassin Cole Allen, the controversial conduct of Federal Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui, and Senator Schumer's newly announced "Free and Fair Elections" task force led by Eric Holder and Marc Elias.

Joan Leslie McGill, Executive Director of the U.S.-Israel Education Association, examines how the Trump administration used emergency authorization to bypass Congress on a major arms transfer to Israel and several Gulf allies, and assesses why Iran rejected even the humanitarian elements of Project Freedom. Phil Kerpen, President of American Commitment, addresses Cigna's withdrawal from the ACA exchanges and what real healthcare reform should look like as Obamacare unravels without enhanced subsidies. Dr. John R. Lott Jr. of the Crime Prevention Research Center closes with a hard look at Democrats' renewed gun control demands following the White House Correspondents' Dinner assassination attempt — and why those proposals would not have stopped the attack.

Additional segments cover the Maine Senate race and Democratic nominee Graham Platner, the case for repealing the 17th Amendment, and a Salute the Troops tribute to U.S. Army Private First Class Bruce Edward Dalbo, killed in action in Darlac Province, South Vietnam, on August 25, 1968.

Anchorman Jake Smith opens the week on Your News Talk America with the latest developments out of the Strait of Hormuz, including a cargo ship attacked by small craft roughly 11 miles off the Iranian coast, Iran's threat to treat any U.S. escort mission as a ceasefire breach, and the Monday launch of Project Freedom — the CENTCOM-directed operation to restore freedom of navigation for commercial shipping. Christina Balling of the Institute of World Politics joins to assess the diplomatic stakes, and Sam Romain, Chairman of Americans for Energy Dominance, breaks down President Trump's approval of the 650-mile "Keystone Light" Canada-U.S. pipeline expansion expected to move 550,000 barrels of Canadian crude per day.

Brigadier General Blaine Holt (U.S. Air Force, Ret.) examines the announced withdrawal of 5,000 U.S. troops from Germany following Chancellor Merz's criticism of Washington, Trump's warnings to Spain and Italy, the spread of the Iran conflict into Azerbaijan, and the President's recent Florida remarks suggesting the U.S. would take Cuba "almost immediately." Dr. Gerson Moreno-Riaño, President of Cornerstone University, weighs in on the communist and socialist groups calling for revolution at the Minneapolis May Day rally and the deeper problem of ideological indoctrination in American education.

Kimberly Bird of Live Action discusses the emergency appeals filed at the Supreme Court by Danco Laboratories and GenBioPro seeking to block the Fifth Circuit's ruling that prohibits prescribing Mifepristone via telehealth or shipping it through the mail. RNC National Press Secretary Kirsten Pels addresses Hakeem Jeffries' "maximum warfare" rhetoric, the violent ICE standoff in Brooklyn, and whether immigration remains a decisive issue heading into November. JP DeGance of Communio covers a major new University of Miami study linking marriage to significantly lower cancer rates, and the newly released DOJ task force report confirming that the Biden administration "zealously" probed traditional Christians and surveilled Catholic priests — a scandal traced back to a Southern Poverty Law Center letter.

Additional segments cover the demise of Spirit Airlines and a Salute the Troops tribute to U.S. Navy Seaman First Class Anthony D. Gregorio, who served during the Korean War.

A wide-ranging edition of Your News Talk America with Jake Smith examines the intersection of media influence, financial control, national security, and economic policy during a pivotal moment in U.S. and global affairs.

The program opens with a sharp critique of mainstream media narratives, highlighting controversial commentary surrounding recent events involving President Trump and broader concerns about media bias. The discussion then shifts to the growing issue of “de-banking,” where financial institutions restrict access to accounts based on perceived reputational risk, raising concerns about civil liberties, digital currency systems, and government influence over private banking decisions.  

Additional segments explore major geopolitical and economic developments, including U.S. energy dominance, global oil markets, and the strategic implications of conflict involving Iran. Panelists analyze how energy policy, international alliances, and military strategy are shaping both global stability and domestic fuel prices. The episode also addresses the mounting U.S. national debt, inflation pressures, and the long-term risks to economic growth and entrepreneurship.

The broadcast concludes with discussions on constitutional authority, war powers, and the broader cultural and political climate as America approaches its 250th anniversary—raising fundamental questions about governance, accountability, and the future direction of the country.

In this episode of Your News Talk America with Jake Smith, the conversation centers on major developments in U.S. energy policy, including record-breaking oil exports and what that shift means for the American economy, global markets, and long-term national debt.

Commentary includes analysis of U.S. foreign policy decisions, military considerations, and the risks of further escalation in the Middle East.

Throughout the show, callers contribute perspectives on energy independence, global influence, and national security, while economic conditions—including inflationary pressures tied to energy costs—are evaluated in the context of overall U.S. economic stability.

Jake Smith analyzes what this could mean for the future of the region, U.S. foreign policy, and the balance of power in the Middle East. Could Kurdish forces become the West’s most effective partner against Tehran? And what role might American intelligence and military strategy play in the unfolding situation?

Joining the program:

Christina Balling – Senior Vice President at the Institute of World Politics, offering analysis on Kurdish forces, regional strategy, and the geopolitical implications of a widening conflict.

Steven Mosher – President of the Population Research Institute, providing insight into China’s global ambitions and how Beijing factors into emerging geopolitical alliances.

Breland Hollyhand – Political commentator and conservative activist discussing the domestic political implications of escalating international tensions.

Jake Smith also delivers commentary on the broader strategic picture, including U.S. military posture, intelligence operations, and the political response in Washington.
