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?

10 Stories They Don't Want You to Read Today

#10 - Tucker Carlson gets angry when he learns nearly 1 in 5 Americans are on antidepressants RIGHT NOW.

He couldn’t believe it.

When his guest confirmed the number referred to CURRENT prescriptions, Carlson’s reaction said it all:

First, psychiatrist Josef Witt-Doerring told Carlson that we’ve seen a 500% INCREASE in antidepressant use since the 1990s.

Carlson asked if the depression problem has gotten better or worse, and Witt-Doerring replied: “There’s more psychiatric prescribers now, there’s more drug prescribing, and the outcomes are actually getting WORSE.”

After hearing that, Carlson made this blistering statement:

“I’m just going to skip ahead to my opinion, then I’m going to pull back. But that suggests that we should BAN the drugs and IMPRISON the people selling them. That’s my personal view. But you’re the psychiatrist.”

• 2023: 485 incidents

• 2024: 415 incidents

Each of the last two years alone exceeded the previous four years combined...and together, 2023–2024 are over 3× the 2018–2021 total.

RFK Jr. Hits the Medical Cartel Where It Hurts With Bold New HHS Announcement

This is Big Pharma and Big Medicine’s worst nightmare.

What makes them so rich is finally getting gutted.

🧵 THREAD Image
Imagine this: you go to your doctor, and they give you ten minutes. You say, “Hey, Doc, I got a problem. How do I fix it?”

The doctor writes you a prescription, you take it to the pharmacy, and then you take that pill for life—until you die.

This is what most people experience when they see a doctor.Image
But RFK Jr. is changing that with a bold new vision to improve the doctor-patient relationship for good.

He announced that he’s leading a team at HHS to overhaul the medical education system and finally put a focus on what’s been ignored for too long—nutrition training.

EXCLUSIVE: The Lawsuit That Could Collapse the CDC’s Vaccine Empire Overnight

This could bring down the CDC’s vaccine empire once and for all.

Instead of battling at the state level, attorney Rick Jaffe went straight for the source—demanding the CDC downgrade its 72-dose childhood schedule from “mandatory” to “shared decision-making.”

If the court agrees, state mandates collapse and the CDC’s grip on parents shatters overnight.

“They want to claim the program is safe? Fine, prove it.”

🧵 THREADImage
For the first time ever, a federal lawsuit challenges the CDC's staggering 72+ dose childhood vaccine schedule on the grounds that it has never actually been safety tested.

And it turns out the government's own outside advisers have been urging safety studies for nearly 25 years.

The case was filed in federal court on Friday, August 15, on behalf of Dr. Paul Thomas, Dr. Kenneth Stoller, and Stand for Health Freedom. The case goes right to the heart of the CDC's Childhood Immunisation Program.

Rick Jaffe, who filed the lawsuit, joins us today to discuss the case.
Rick Jaffe has spent forty years on the front lines as a healthcare lawyer. He’s defended doctors, taken on the medical establishment, and seen more than most.

But this time, his lawsuit goes after the CDC’s very foundation: the childhood vaccine schedule itself.

In preparing the case, Jaffe uncovered a fact that floored even him. Despite requiring American children to follow a 72-dose regimen, the CDC has never once tested the safety of the schedule as a whole.

Each vaccine is looked at only in isolation, and only for a few days. “You’re giving 72 doses plus medical interventions over 18 years,” he said, “and they’ve never tested the effect of the total dose.”

What makes this worse, Jaffe added, is that the National Academy of Medicine has urged the CDC to conduct these studies for more than 20 years—yet the agency has refused.

That refusal became the cornerstone of Jaffe’s case: if the CDC has never tested the very system it enforces, how can it possibly claim America’s children are being kept safe?

KNIVES OUT.

The media thought they had their opening to derail MAHA.

They filled the White House briefing with loaded questions about Susan Monarez’s firing—painting Trump and RFK Jr. as “reckless.”

But Karoline Leavitt CRUSHED their scripts on the spot.

“Just do your job. That’s what this president wants to see.”

It was a total reckoning.

🧵 THREADImage
The knives came out for Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. the moment former CDC Director Susan Monarez was fired.

And during today’s White House press briefing, the media didn’t even try to hide it.

When @PressSec Karoline Leavitt opened the floor to reporters, NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez led the charge, reading aloud from Monarez’s lawyer...who claimed she was let go for refusing to “rubber-stamp unscientific reckless directives.”

Then he tried to trap Karoline Leavitt with a question:

“What specifically did she do wrong?”

But Leavitt wasn’t rattled. She shut it down cold.

“What I will say about this individual is that her lawyer’s statements made it abundantly clear themselves that she was not aligned with the president’s mission to make America healthy again.”

Leavitt then revealed something that the public hadn’t heard yet.

The president was the one who personally dusted Monarez and she reminded Gutierrez that the president was well within his rights to do so.

“The secretary asked her to resign. She said she would. Then she said she wouldn’t, so the president fired her which he has EVERY right to do.”

“It was President Trump who was overwhelmingly reelected on November 5th, this woman has never received a vote in her life and the president has the authority to fire those who are not aligned with his mission.”

She ended with a promise: a new CDC leader is coming…and this time, the public will know who they are and what they stand for.

“A new replacement will be announced by either the president or the secretary very soon and the president and Secretary Kennedy are committed to restoring trust, transparency and credibility to the CDC by ensuring their leadership and their decisions are more public facing, more accountable.”

Something’s wrong.

Another mass shooting. Another transgender perpetrator.

But Secretary Kennedy just went on live TV and UNLEASHED a firestorm:

For the first time, the NIH is investigating whether SSRIs and other drugs are fueling this wave of violence.

And the CDC? It’s about to be SHAKEN to its core.

🧵 THREADImage
In the wake of yesterday’s horrific mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the facts are beginning to come in, and once again, the shooter was transgender.

It’s a data point on a disturbing and increasingly visible trend.

Transgender Americans make up less than 1% of the adult population.

Yet they are appearing in mass shootings at a rate that demands attention.

The question now falls on HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy: What’s behind this troubling trend?

Kennedy has made it clear he’s determined to find out…and one possible clue may lie in the medications these individuals are being prescribed during gender transition.

Specifically: SSRI drugs.

For the first time, the federal government is openly exploring a possible link between these psychiatric medications and violent behavior.

Appearing on Fox News this morning, Kennedy was asked by Brian Kilmeade:

“You are dealing with a person who is trans, there was transitioning. Are you going to be examining at all some of the drugs that are used in order to make that transition happening, to see if it plays a role?”

That’s when Secretary Kennedy made the announcement:

“We are doing those kind of studies now at NIH.”

“We’re launching studies on potential contribution of some of the SSRI drugs and other psychiatric drugs that might be contributing to violence.”

“Many of them—have black box warnings that warn of suicidal ideation and homicidal ideation. We can’t exclude those and those are studies we’re doing.”

This was BIG.
So why hasn’t this already been investigated?

Kennedy pointed to a major blind spot in the system: HIPAA privacy laws, which have long shielded the data needed to examine the effects of these medications.

But the troubling warning signs have been there all along.

They were just ignored.

“There are black box warnings on some of these psychiatric drugs that warn about in their clinical trials, they saw suicidal and homicidal ideation.”

“We are going into that with an open mind.”

“A lot of studies have not been done in the past because of HIPPA regulations, which protect the privacy of patients.”

That’s no longer going to stop him.

“But it’s something that right now we are looking at.”

“We NEED to look at it and we need to explain why all this violence is happening and need to look at every possibility.”

They’re not ruling anything out. No more excuses.

And for the first time in years, the federal government is actually asking the hard questions.

Meet @RealJasonNelson—a US veteran who built a beef company on one promise:

“I’ll SHUT DOWN the company before we ship a single bag of mRNA-injected meat.”

He delivered—and when Hurricane Helene hit, he gave his beef away to thousands.

But everything he built was stolen.

Jason’s company is now being forced to close its doors for good—and he needs your help.

This is your last chance to support him—and claim his mRNA-free beef at a massive discount before it’s gone forever.

(See Offer Below) 👇Image
Before we get to the offer, here’s who @RealJasonNelson is. He’s a retired U.S. Army Soldier, a former Marine, and a proud father of five.

Jason is a highly decorated veteran who served in combat and on humanitarian missions, leading operations and planning as a Civil Affairs officer.

His years of service came at a heavy price: he is 100% permanently disabled from combat service.Image
Image
@RealJasonNelson Sadly, the company is being forced to close—not because the beef isn’t incredible, but because of crushing debt left behind by a shady business partner. Image
