We analyze the wild poisoning rumors spreading across social media following Graham's recent trip to Ukraine, parsing through the official medical examiner reports to separate fact from speculation. Zeoli also updates listeners on reaching the eight-week milestone of his own open-heart surgery recovery. Later, we react to a highly unusual proof-of-life photograph released by Mitch McConnell holding a newspaper after recovering from a recent fall. The conversation shifts to media rhetoric on the two-year anniversary of the Butler assassination attempt against Donald Trump. We break apart the latest mainstream media election denial as Rosie O'Donnell surfaces on CNN with Jake Tapper to make the baseless claim that Kamala Harris won the presidency. Rich details how networks allow these bizarre claims to air without any pushback from anchors. We also examine the newest disclosures from the White House UFO council as Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb reveals that the government remains completely baffled by mysterious aerial orbs. We bring attention to a massive national security and immigration showdown as Secretary of State Marco Rubio steps in to deport a convicted criminal who had received a controversial pardon from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Rich details the legislative battle brewing in Texas as Attorney General Ken Paxton demands a special session to turn birth tourism into a felony.
