There is truly an unbelievable amount of misinformation, clickbait, and speculation floating around online about Charlie Kirk.

Next week, though, something concrete is happening - not a clickbait podcast episode or viral tweet, but the preliminary hearings for the trial of Charlie’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson.

In just a few days, this will be put in front of the world, and Isabel Brown wants you to understand what that really means.

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down everything you need to know - from the charges against Tyler Robinson and the judge's latest rulings to what a preliminary hearing actually is (hint: it's not the trial) and why next week matters so much.

We'll also talk about the media circus surrounding this case, what's fact versus fiction, and what evidence we could see presented in court.

Whether you knew Charlie personally or have simply been following this story, my hope is that this video helps you form your own opinion based on evidence - not internet outrage.

Our note: In the interview, Dr. Kidd said that the right in America wants a state church. That’s incorrect. America was founded on Christian morals and beliefs. John Adams said that the government was set up for only a moral and religious people. Most conservative Christians believe in not having a state church but instead see our country return to those morals and standards. God is written all over our founding documents and early government leaders, even Jefferson put the Bible and hymnals in schools for learning how to read.

Do know each faith / religion congregated into what would become separate states - they all left the U.K. as the monarchy was forcing all its citizens to participate only in the church of the King, making it a government-centric church. This was not settling well with many and they had basically setup their own unofficial churches without buildings (they met in homes). Anyone caught forming a new religion and/or church in the U.K was cited for treason. And yes, some did die for the sake of their faith. This strong animosity carried over to the Colonies who wanted a faith-based church and not a government-centric church.

This resulted in the different faiths having prominent positions in each jurisdiction. There was an anxiety of a state government controlling a church in their jurisdiction which came to a head in October 1801. The Danbury Baptists had written to Jefferson, expressing concerns about religious liberty in their state, where the Congregationalist denomination held a prominent position. They feared that their religious freedoms were seen as privileges granted by the legislature rather than immutable rights. It is in his letter to the Bishops that Thomas Jefferson penned the phrase "separation of church and state" on January 1, 1802. That is the ONLY document where this phrase was used, it is not found in any of our pillar documents nor any State documents.

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, Allie explores why biblical Christianity was the essential foundation for the principles of liberty and justice embraced by the founding fathers.

Allie also covers the Daughters of the American Revolution’s controversial rejection of a resolution to define “woman” as biologically female, sparking backlash and resignations as the organization continues admitting transgender members.

In uplifting news, former Tarot influencer “Alex Reads Tarot” shares her powerful testimony of turning to Christ and leaving witchcraft behind despite significant backlash.

Plus, Allie reacts to the New York Times’ take on Usha Vance’s pregnancy style and its conspiracy theory that the White House is trying to increase birth rates through fashion.

Allie also gives her advice on saying what's on your mind at the right time!

In this conversation with Rachel Wilson, we discuss the strange inversion at the heart of modern feminism, its occult and anti-Christian roots, and the way it has turned women against motherhood, marriage, the family, and even the feminine itself. We also look at abortion, witchcraft, gender, the destruction of womanhood, and the vision of marriage as a path of sacrifice, love, and mutual self-giving.

Jay and Jennifer discuss recent MAHA events including the Supreme Court ruling on glyphosate, Trump’s new executive order on regenerative agriculture, and Secretary Kennedy’s retraction of the Emergency Use Authorization Act.

Israel's Defense Minister publicly declared Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei could be targeted - while U.S. envoys were in Doha trying to save a nuclear deal.

Khamenei hasn't been seen publicly since March 2026, is reportedly living in an underground bunker communicating through blindfolded couriers, and may have suffered serious injuries in the same strike that took out his father.

Plus - the full targeting architecture that found Ali Khamenei through hacked Tehran traffic cameras and Unit 8200 AI - and why that same machine is running right now.

Elon Musk just made a multi-billion-dollar move that could transform Starlink from a satellite internet provider into a direct competitor to Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.

But the real story isn't the satellites—it's the new wireless spectrum, RF engineering, and smartphone hardware that could make direct satellite connectivity possible.

In this video, we break down SpaceX's spectrum acquisition, Direct-to-Cell technology, low Earth orbit (LEO) networking, RF chip design, latency, signal propagation, building penetration, and the physics behind connecting ordinary smartphones directly to satellites.

We'll also explore why today's phones aren't fully ready, what has to change inside the next generation of devices, and how SpaceX could reshape the future of mobile networks.

If this vision becomes reality, Starlink won't just deliver internet, it could fundamentally change how billions of people connect, communicate, and stay online.

The U.S. military has completed one of its most significant live-fire naval exercises in recent years during Exercise Valiant Shield 2026.

In the Philippine Sea, more than 200 nautical miles off Guam, U.S. and allied forces carried out a SINKEX (Sinking Exercise), using the decommissioned USS Juneau (LPD-10) as the target. The operation brought together U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, and allied forces from Japan and other partner nations in a coordinated multi-domain attack.

The biggest milestone came when a U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth bomber launched an AGM-158C Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) in what is the first publicly acknowledged operational employment of the weapon from the B-2 platform. Additional strikes included Harpoon missiles from a U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon, Japanese anti-ship missiles, and a heavyweight torpedo fired from a Japanese submarine that ultimately sent the USS Juneau to the bottom.

The exercise is part of Valiant Shield 2026, a major Indo-Pacific military exercise designed to improve interoperability between the United States and allies while demonstrating long-range precision strike capabilities in contested maritime environments.

In this video, we cover:
• Why the USS Juneau was intentionally sunk
• The B-2 Spirit’s historic LRASM mission
• Every weapon used during the exercise
• The role of U.S. and allied forces
• What this means for the future of naval warfare

U.S. Marines are on the ground in Venezuela, joining one of the largest international humanitarian rescue efforts following the devastating earthquakes that struck the country.

Working alongside U.S. urban search-and-rescue teams, international partners, and Venezuelan first responders, Marines are helping search collapsed buildings, rescue trapped survivors, deliver emergency supplies, and restore critical infrastructure.

Military aircraft—including MV-22 Ospreys, UH-1Y Venom helicopters, C-17 Globemasters, C-130s, and CH-47 Chinooks—are transporting rescue personnel, humanitarian aid, and equipment into affected areas. U.S. Navy ships are also supporting relief efforts while Marines help reopen the damaged Port of La Guaira to accelerate the flow of life-saving supplies.

The United States has pledged $150 million in humanitarian assistance, supporting emergency medical care, food, clean water, shelter, and disaster relief as rescue operations continue.

In this video, we cover:
• The role of U.S. Marines in the rescue mission
• Search-and-rescue operations in the hardest-hit areas
• Military aircraft and naval support delivering aid
• The latest developments from Venezuela’s earthquake response
• What happens next as recovery efforts continue

IKEA's AI chatbot started failing at half its customer questions so instead of cutting 8,500 workers, they turned those failures into $1.4 billion in brand-new revenue.

Every CEO running AI layoffs in 2026 is copying the wrong playbook.

IKEA looked at what their AI couldn't do and found a demand map hiding inside it.

What you'll learn:
✅ The one question IKEA's leadership asked that flipped the whole story
✅ Why your AI's failures are actually a demand map
✅ The 3-step framework to reskill toward unmet needs

The €1.3B ($1.4B) didn't come from the chatbot, it came from studying what the chatbot broke on.

As America celebrates 250 years of freedom, SageSteele wanted to have a conversation that reminds us what that freedom has cost and why it should never be taken for granted.

In this special episode of The Sage Steele Show, she sits down with retired Navy SEAL Jason Redman, who survived being shot multiple times during a brutal ambush in Iraq and went on to inspire millions through his message of leadership, resilience, accountability, and purpose.

Jason shares what happened on September 13, 2007, the day he calls his "rebirth day," and how surviving the battlefield was only the beginning of his greatest fight.

We talk about faith, overcoming trauma, the challenges veterans face after coming home, the power of personal responsibility, and why our hardest moments often become the foundation for our greatest purpose.

We also discuss the importance of honoring those who have served, raising resilient children, finding strength through adversity, and what patriotism means as America marks its 250th anniversary.

Whether you're a veteran, a leader, an entrepreneur, a parent, or simply someone looking for hope during a difficult season, I think you'll walk away encouraged by Jason's remarkable story.

Thank you to every man and woman who has worn the uniform and to the families who have sacrificed alongside them. Happy America 250.

It’s easy to forget how consequential the 2nd Continental Congress was.

Their sacrifice, and all they risked to achieve independence.

The Supreme Court punted on birthright citizenship - but the real story is the split screen between the justices.

Ketanji Brown Jackson's concurrence misquoted the Declaration of Independence and dropped phrases like "understood the assignment" and "keepers of the call of remembrance," while Clarence Thomas fired back with a 91-page dissent warning the ruling "will not stand the test of time."

Thomas also upheld biological reality in women's sports the same week - and Larry revisits how Joe Biden and Nina Totenberg tried to destroy Thomas in 1991.

As NATO members head to Ankara, the Alliance is under strain — clashing over defense spending levels, the Russo-Ukrainian and US-Iran wars, and the shrinking U.S. military footprint in Europe.

Trump comes to the table with real leverage, but both Europe and America have real grievances, and the outcome may hinge on which one drives his approach.

On this episode of Foreign Podicy, guest host RADM (Ret.) Mark Montgomery, senior director of FDD's Center on Cyber and Innovation Technology, is joined by

• John Hardie, deputy director of FDD's Russia Program; Peter Doran, FDD senior adjunct fellow; and

• Cameron McMillan, senior research analyst at FDDs Center on Military and Political Power.

Together, they assess what's at stake in Ankara and whether Trump can secure strong wins from allies or risks mismanaging the moment.
