The FBI confirmed what we already knew about the Michigan synagogue attack — but the media conveniently buried the lead. Now meet Abdul El-Sayed: Michigan Democrat, Senate candidate, and a man so afraid of his Dearborn constituency he can’t even acknowledge the Ayatollah’s death. We’ve got the recordings.Then there’s Hassan Piker — the millionaire socialist in Cartier glasses the Democrats are betting on to win back young voters. Spoiler: the party is fracturing over it. We break down the Dearborn imam clips, El-Sayed’s deleted 9/11 posts, and why Gavin Newsom and Bernie Sanders cozying up to this guy should concern everyone.Plus: Trump’s Iran address, the birthright citizenship oral arguments, Pam Bondi gets fired, and the most over-the-top presidential library reveal you’ve ever seen.Rivera & Reeves — the media is trash and we have zero tolerance for it.Thank you Kate, Trudi Laurence, and many others for tuning into my live video!
