It's getting messy out there, folks.
Today we break down the firestorm surrounding Candace Owens as accusations swirl that a paid smear campaign is underway just hours before her highly anticipated Erica Kirk investigative series drops. Is this coordinated pushback? Strategic timing? Or just the internet doing what it does best? We unpack the claims, the receipts, and what this means for the rollout.
Plus, continued fallout from last night's State of the Union address. Who won the optics battle, who's spinning what, and why the reactions may matter more than the speech itself.
We also have more developments in the ever-expanding Epstein files saga — what's missing, what's being questioned, and why public trust continues to erode.
And in a surprising twist, Laura Owens scores a legal win in a small harassment case against a YouTuber. What the ruling means, and whether this changes the online commentary landscape moving forward.
Fast-paced, unfiltered, and breaking it all down before your commute home.

Tonight's State of the Union address is shaping up to be one of the most dramatic yet — and we break down what to expect before it all unfolds. Donald Trump names Erica Kirk as a special guest, raising major questions about why she's being spotlighted on such a high-profile stage. At the same time, Candace Owens says she's preparing to expose Erika Kirk in a new investigative docu-series that could shift the narrative entirely. We unpack what this means politically and culturally heading into prime time.
Plus, new fallout from the Olympic controversy as backlash grows over Kash Patel partying with U.S. athletes during their celebration. Was it harmless optics or something deeper?
We also dig into troubling reports that key Epstein files have allegedly gone missing — who had access, what's being said, and why this story won't go away. And finally, an update on ICE and mounting scrutiny over claims of unlawful detentions.
Fast-paced, unfiltered, and heading straight into a major political night — let's get into it.
