We start with the latest viral moment from Texas politician James Talarico — a masterclass in what critics are calling peak woke performance politics. The sermonizing, the moral grandstanding, the viral clips designed for social media — we break down why this brand of politics is exploding online and what it actually means.Then things get even crazier. Tucker Carlson launches into accusations against Donald Trump that critics say imply levels of wrongdoing so extreme they border on the unbelievable. What exactly did he say, and why did it shock even people who normally agree with him?Meanwhile over at CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, host Abby Phillip delivered a claim so wrong that it triggered backlash and forced a public apology. We walk through what was said, what the facts actually show, and why trust in mainstream media continues to collapse.Then comes one of the strangest political twists of the year: Hillary Clinton openly praising Donald Trump. Yes, you heard that right. After a decade of political warfare, why would she suddenly give him credit? What’s really behind that moment?And finally, a story that sounds like a movie but is terrifyingly real — members of the Iran women's national soccer team making a dramatic escape from Iran, risking everything to get out. A powerful reminder of the reality women face under the regime — and the courage it takes to defy it. Woke politics. Media credibility collapsing. Strange political alliances. And a real-life escape story.
