The man who advised Obama, Ron Paul, and four consecutive White Houses — Republican and Democrat — just went on record to say America's Iran strategy is failing, and the proof is in the data.

University of Chicago professor Robert Pape, who spent 20 years modeling the bombing of Iran for the U.S. Air Force and literally turned down a $600K bribe from a Chinese billionaire to change his research, breaks down why bombing Fordo made Iran more dangerous — not less — and reveals that 20% of enriched uranium is now missing and unaccounted for.

Pape exposes why economic blockades have never toppled a regime in 100 years of recorded history, draws a chilling parallel between Trump's Iran blockade and the 12-year Iraq sanctions that strengthened Saddam, and delivers a jaw-dropping first-hand account of China uplifting entire cities with AI while America argues tactics.

Patrick Bet-David, Tom Ellsworth, Vincent Oshana and Adam Sosnick break down Howard Lutnick’s reported Epstein-related testimony that's stirring new questions about who inside elite financial circles knew about a $1B+ trafficking operation—and what could surface next as pressure builds.

Then: a hantavirus outbreak spreading across Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of California has the CDC on alert as rodent-driven infections rise and public health officials warn of higher fatality rates than COVID, while Dr. Anthony Fauci faces a looming DOJ deadline tied to ongoing investigations into pandemic-era decisions and testimony.
