Trump’s latest Cabinet meeting was ANYTHING but routine.

It began with a gut-wrenching story of D.C. crime…

Then RFK Jr. dropped a BOMBSHELL on autism.

Tulsi Gabbard followed with revelations on the 2020 election.

And that was just the beginning.

Here are the top moments you don’t want to miss.

🧵 THREADImage
The president and his team gathered at the White House for their 7th cabinet meeting of his second term.

With his new efforts to federalize D.C. and crush crime in the capital, one of the first speakers wasn’t a cabinet member...but someone who had lived through the city’s chaos firsthand.

President Trump asked NTD journalist Iris Tao to share her experience.

It was an opening moment that gave the room chills.

Tao stood and thanked President Trump for making D.C. safe, then told the gut-wrenching story of being mugged and pistol-whipped on her way to work.

“Two years ago—I was on my way to work and a young man with a black ski mask pointed a gun in my face and threatened me to hand over my phone, my wallet, my laptop and everything else.”

“And when I refused, he used the butt of his handgun to strike me across the face, the cheek, or what some people call pistol whipping me before running away.”

“I am very blessed and that’s why having this opportunity to stand here to share my story today, one, I’m very grateful to God for allowing me to survive to this day, and also to you Mr. President, thank you for making D.C. safe for us and for our families—on behalf of my parents, and now my baby on the way, thank you so much!”

[Cabinet ERUPTS into applause]

It was a full-circle moment....and a powerful reminder of why securing the capital is non-negotiable.
When Secretary Kennedy spoke, he gave updates on key HHS reforms, including lowering drug prices for Americans under the ‘most favored nation’ strategy and requiring medical schools to teach nutrition.

But the biggest moment came when Trump asked him about a crisis impacting families across the country: autism.

President Trump: “Bobby, Autism—the autism is such a tremendous horror show, what’s happening in our country and some other countries, but mostly our country. How are you doing on that?”

Secretary Kennedy: “We are doing very well.”

“We will have announcements as promised in September.”

“We’re finding interventions, certain interventions now that are clearly almost CERTAINLY causing autism, and we’re going to be able to address those in September.”

President Trump: “It’s such a big day. I’m looking forward to that day because there’s something wrong, when you see the kind of numbers that you have today versus 20 years ago.”

They weren’t exaggerating.

Rates of autism are now around 1 in 12.5 boys in America.

This September, Secretary Kennedy says the cause and the truth..will finally come to light.

This could be HUGE!

MAHA is on it.

This is when things got interesting.

As Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard has spent months shaking Washington with bombshell after bombshell on the Russia Coup of 2017.

When Trump asked her to speak, she told him that the intel community’s corruption was worse than anyone thought.

She doubled down on her mission statement of transparency.

Gabbard: “Mr. President, you have charged me with the mission of finding the truth and telling the truth to the American people, and we’ve exposed some of the worst examples of the weaponization of intelligence in the last several weeks.”

“I will continue down that mission and that path, wherever it leads. Transparency, telling the truth is what will drive true accountability for the American people who deserve nothing less.”

Then Trump dropped a jaw-dropper of his own.

He revealed that Gabbard’s team had recovered unburned “burn bags” stuffed with classified material tied to the 2020 election...and asked when the public would see them.

Trump: “And you’ve also found many bags of information, I think they call them burn bags. They’re supposed to be burned and they didn’t get burned having to do with how corrupt the 2020 election was, and when will that all come out?”

Gabbard: “Mr. President, I will be the first to brief you once we have that information collected.”

“But you’re right—we are finding documents literally tucked away in the back of safes, in random offices, in these bags and in other areas, which, again, speaks to the intent of those who are trying to hide the truth from the American people and trying to cover up the politicization that was led by people like John Brennan and James Clapper and others that have caused immeasurable harm to the American people and to our country.”

Wow.

Transparency is FINALLY coming and what’s buried inside those bags could shake the nation.
The Vice President JD Vance then had his turn to speak.

He didn’t waste the moment.

Instead, he meticulously laid out just how far America has come in only a few months under Trump, after inheriting an absolute DISASTER from Biden.

First up: jobs.

Under Biden, all net job growth went to the foreign-born. Under Trump, that growth is finally going to American citizens who deserve it.

“All of the net job growth under the Biden administration had done to the foreign-born, now that net job growth is going to American citizens who deserve opportunity in their own country.”

Then came the deficit.

Vance reminded everyone that they inherited the largest peacetime deficit in American history....yet Trump’s trade policies are now pulling in trillions over ten years through tariffs.

“People forget that we inherited the LARGEST peacetime deficit in the history of the United States of America, and now—we’re collecting hundreds of billions of dollars, trillions of dollars over ten years in tariffs from countries and companies that were formerly taking advantage of the American people.”

And it wasn’t just about dollars. Vance said safety is the most sacred thing a government can give its people.

Thanks to Trump’s crackdown, working Americans, not just the wealthy, can finally feel safe in their own neighborhoods again.

“You heard Pam talk about the public safety and the success we’ve had there. I happen to believe that maybe the most sacred thing we can deliver to American workers, is the ability to live safely and comfortably in their own neighborhoods.”

“Public safety is not just something that should belong to the wealthy. It should belong to every working man and woman in the United States of America, and because of the work of this administration, that is happening.”

He finished by slamming Biden’s inflation disaster, revealing a stat that shocked even the room:

Housing costs doubled under the Biden administration.

Truly shocking.

“Mr. President, you yourself talked about the inflation mess that we inherited under the Biden administration.”

“Maybe the most striking and even shocking statistic of the Biden administration is that housing costs have gone up by 100% over the four years of the Biden administration—literally doubled, making the American dream of homeownership unaffordable.”

Vance closed with a promise: there’s a lot more work to do...and they’re not slowing down.

“We’ve made great strides and great progress already. But to the American people who are listening, there’s a lot more to do. We’re going to keep on working hard at it.”
Then came one of the biggest financial updates of the meeting...from Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

What he revealed was staggering.

Bessent said that America is now pulling in RECORD tariff revenues...between $500 BILLION and $1 TRILLION a year...and the budget deficit is already down 26% from Biden’s last year in office.

These are not small numbers.

Bessent explained how Trump flipped the system on its head.

The days of unbalanced international trade are over, and with that comes a massive influx of cash directly affecting America’s deficit.

“On the international front you have a leveled the international trading system whereby countries took advantage of us and that’s over. It’s OVER.”

“The Treasury Department is in is taking in record tariff revenues that I had been saying was running at a rate of 300 billion a year.”

“You chastised me for saying that—number is too low. And as usual, you we’re right, that we had a substantial, jump from July to August, and I think we’re going to see a bigger jump from August to September.”

“So I think we could be on our way, well, over half a trillion, maybe the, towards the trillion dollar number.”

“This administration, your administration, has made a meaningful dent in the budget deficit.”

Even the CBO, which often clashes with the Trump administration, had to concede: the deficit is projected to drop by $4 trillion over the next decade.

“The average budget deficit during this term is 26% less than the last 12 months under Biden and even the CBO, and we don’t agree with CBO on everything as you said, last Friday—had to admit that they believe over the next ten years the budget deficit will be 4 trillion lower than they had previously scored.”

And according to Bessent, that number could go even higher.

“4 trillion: 3.3 trillion of tariff income, 700 billion of lower interest cost, and, you know, I would expect that that number could go up from here.”
These were just a few of the top moments, but obviously I could not catch them all.

What was your favorite moment?

Tucker Carlson admitted he used to make fun of people who believe vaccines cause autism.

He now describes his behavior as “unthinking, stupid, and reactionary.”

Tucker says people are noticing what Robert De Niro noticed about vaccines before he suddenly abandoned the issue: “There’s something there that people aren’t addressing” with vaccines and autism.

De Niro declared this on “The Today Show” back in 2016. Let the clip roll, and you’ll see it.

Fast forward to today, and it’s hard to believe De Niro actually said what he did on mainstream television.

What’s even harder to believe is just how most of the vaccines used today got approved in the first place.

“Placebo” doesn’t mean what most people think it means when it comes to vaccines.

Once you understand what a vaccine “placebo” is, the way evidence gets buried starts making a lot more sense. 🧵
Something strange happens when people first start looking seriously at vaccine safety data.

They do the research. They find the studies. They bring the evidence carefully into a conversation that feels safe and possible.

But nothing moves.

The other person doesn’t adjust. Doesn’t even get curious. They just double down harder.

Nothing about it feels like a normal disagreement. It feels like something else entirely.

Because it is.

And there’s actually a specific reason for that. A reason that goes much deeper than tribalism.Image
The reason vaccine orthodoxy functions differently from almost every other medical debate isn’t random.

It’s structural. It was designed and built this way.

To understand why the evidence lands differently here—why the same standards of proof that apply literally everywhere else somehow don’t apply to vaccines—you have to understand what vaccines actually represent in Western medicine.

And it’s probably not what you think.Image

At the height of COVID, a “crazy” doctor was treating patients with a 99.96% survival rate.

Dr. Zelenko’s protocol was so effective, it sparked a war against HCQ.

They mocked his claims, but they kept coming true. Here’s what he said:

#1 - “Not everyone got the same thing.”
In an interview with Mel K, Dr. Zelenko said, “Some of the lots were 5,000% more lethal than others — or think of it as 50x. So, let’s say one vial killed one person. Another vial killed 50 people.”

“If everyone would have gotten the same thing, it would be a clear correlation that you’re being poisoned, and no one would take it,” Dr. Zelenko concluded. Thus, the answer to why some people took the shot and turned out okay is because “not everyone got the same thing.”
Dr. Zelenko’s bold claim was confirmed in March 2023, when a study performed by Schmeling and colleagues found that 4.2% of the batches accounted for a staggering 71% of adverse events. Image

In 2015, Scott Adams made a “crazy” prediction that most people thought was impossible.

He said Trump had a 98% chance of becoming president, and he made that call on a single observation.

The winning attribute that made Scott confident in Trump’s victory was his one-of-a-kind persuasion skills.

While political betting markets dismissed Trump’s chances, Adams argued—using his background in persuasion and hypnosis—that Trump was the most psychologically effective candidate in the race and therefore favored to win. He built a massive following by showing how persuasion, not policy, drives political outcomes.

That insight proved correct. But it also revealed something darker. 🧵
After Trump’s victory, Adams pivoted to punditry—and during COVID, even he struggled to see the truth.

Scott strongly endorsed the vaccines, vaccinated himself, and publicly belittled followers who refused. Many later derisively called him “Clot Adams.”

In January 2023, Adams admitted—on video—that he’d been wrong and that the anti-vaxxers were correct. But he framed it as luck: the right people just happened to distrust the government, while “all the data” supposedly pointed intelligent analysts toward vaccination.

That framing matters. It reveals how even skilled observers of persuasion can mistake marketing consensus for truth—and how the same system that manufactures medical certainty also hides the limits of medicine, until reality forces a reckoning.
Last May, Scott told the world something most people never say out loud until it’s unavoidable: he had terminal, metastatic prostate cancer.

He openly stated he planned to use California’s medically assisted dying to reduce suffering.

He also shut down speculation—saying he had already tried fenbendazole and ivermectin and had no interest in continuing them.

The reaction was explosive.

People weren’t just debating treatment choices—they were watching, in real time, what a protracted, modern death actually looks like.

For many, it shattered comforting abstractions about both cancer and mortality.

This 45-second clip with Dr. Peter Hotez is difficult to watch.

A mom from Texas desperately asks him why she keeps getting “really bad” COVID.

She got three COVID shots, took multiple rounds of Paxlovid, but she keeps “getting COVID often.”

Dr. Hotez tells the woman that her repeated COVID infections are basically her fault for skipping boosters.

WOMAN: “I’m getting COVID often. I took Paxlovid the third time, and then a few weeks later I got it again. COVID was really bad on me.”

HOTEZ: “After you had your first two immunizations way back in 2021, did you get boosters regularly?”

WOMAN: “I got one booster, and then after that I stopped getting them.”

HOTEZ: “Yeah. So that’s the reason why you keep up with the boosters.”

The saddest part about this interaction is that the woman was so convinced by Hotez that getting COVID was her fault that she was eager to get another booster shot after the show.

This is an extreme case of medical gaslighting that is easy to spot.

But what about when it’s not?

What about the times you did everything your doctor recommended—only to find yourself worse off than when you started? 🧵
Something seismic has happened to public health in America—and most people haven’t fully processed its scale.

A 2025 JAMA study surveying pregnant mothers and parents of young children found that only 37% fully trusted the CDC vaccine schedule and planned to follow it completely.

Five years ago, a number that low would have been unimaginable.

So what’s causing the drop? And what does it mean?Image
To understand the big picture and why it matters, you need the baseline.

In 2000, only 19% of parents had concerns about vaccines. By 2009, that number was 50%. And by 2013, 9% had declined all immunizations, while 32% had safety concerns.

The medical establishment found those numbers alarming. But what we’re looking at today is in a different category entirely.Image

In the 1930s to the early 60s, Americans were convinced smoking was healthy.

Doctors proudly appeared in cigarette ads. “More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette.”

The public was given a clear message: If physicians smoked themselves, how dangerous could it possibly be?

At its peak, more than 42% of American adults smoked, with rates among men climbing as high as 57%.

Business was booming. But behind the scenes, tobacco companies already knew smoking was linked to deadly disease.

Internal research pointed to the dangers early, yet the industry spent years funding doubt, attacking critics, and delaying public awareness long enough to keep the machine running.

Then came January 11, 1964.

The U.S. Surgeon General released the report that changed everything: smoking causes lung cancer and other deadly illnesses.

Almost overnight, one of the most trusted health narratives in America began to collapse.

And it wasn’t the only one.

In the 1940s and 1950s, lobotomies were celebrated as a revolutionary treatment for mental illness. Walter Freeman traveled the country performing thousands of “ice-pick” procedures, sometimes in minutes, sometimes on children.

The technique even earned a Nobel Prize.

Years later, it was widely condemned as barbaric, after leaving countless patients permanently damaged.

Today, we look back at both eras with disbelief and wonder how entire generations came to trust ideas that later proved so catastrophically wrong.

But the more uncomfortable question is harder to escape:

How many medical “certainties” we trust today will future generations one day look back on the same way? 🧵
We hold thousands of assumptions we never question.

Most of them are fine. The dangerous ones are the unquestioned assumptions that aren’t.

This is about what it actually looks like to prioritize truth over being right.

Including when that means publicly correcting something you’ve believed for decades.

Let’s start with a story.

For decades, a widely repeated narrative has appeared in critiques of Western medicine:

That 19th century surgeon James Marion Sims performed experimental gynecological surgeries on enslaved black women without anesthesia—using them as test subjects before performing the same procedures on white women, with anesthesia.

It felt obviously, viscerally wrong. Most people never questioned it.

They just react to it.Image
As it turns out, what the historical record actually shows is considerably different.

The condition Sims treated—vesicovaginal fistula—was devastating and had no cure at the time. Suffering women were desperate for relief and willingly consented to the procedures.

Ether was brand new, highly controversial, and carried real risks. Sims and other surgeons of the era didn’t believe the pain of these specific operations justified those risks—and applied the same standard regardless of the patient’s race.

The women he worked with helped each other through their recoveries, assisted in surgeries, and pushed him to continue when he wanted to stop. He acknowledged his debt to them publicly. He operated at his own expense.

The narrative most people know about James Marion Sims had been assembled to support a political argument, not drawn from the historical record. And in 2018, after significant protest, his statue in New York City was removed.Image

REPORT: Across America, farmers are reporting scenes straight out of a nightmare, mysterious boxes of ticks appearing on rural properties while infestations explode at levels many say they’ve never witnessed before.

Now those reports are colliding with documented Bill Gates-funded research into genetically modified ticks, growing fears over Alpha-Gal Syndrome, and scientific papers openly arguing it could be “morally good” to spread meat allergies through engineered tick populations.

Social media is flooding with horrifying footage of animals overwhelmed by massive tick swarms while officials wave the crisis away as “climate change.” Meanwhile, more than 450,000 Americans are already suffering from Alpha-Gal Syndrome after tick bites, a condition with no cure that can trigger severe allergic reactions to red meat.

Even more alarming, Russian biologists are now warning about so-called “mutant ticks” reportedly resistant to conventional methods and behaving far more aggressively toward humans and animals.

So why is nobody in authority seriously investigating the reports, the research, or where these infestations may really be coming from?

@zeeemedia's new report uncovers the disturbing connections raising alarm bells across rural America.
There are two financial systems—one for the connected, and one for everyone else.

While most people struggle to grow their savings, the wealthy have been quietly multiplying theirs through crypto.

Now, that advantage can be yours.

Meanwhile, young Americans are openly revolting against the billionaire-led AI agenda.

At graduation ceremonies across the country, students are now booing the people telling them “the AI revolution” will reshape society, while quietly threatening the careers they spent years and thousands of dollars preparing for.

In back-to-back commencement speeches, executives took the stage expecting applause for their vision of an AI-dominated future. Instead, they were met with visible disgust from young people completely fed up with the tech elites already reshaping modern life around surveillance, automation, and dependency.

These students don’t sound inspired anymore. They sound betrayed.

See the moment the crowd turns on the AI sales pitch in @zeeemedia's explosive report.
