Jake Smith and a deep bench of experts cover the U.S.–Iran deal headed for Geneva, the FBI's foiled White House attack plot, falling oil prices, and the economic and security stories shaping the week.With a U.S.–Iran memorandum of understanding set to be signed Friday in Geneva, Jake Smith leads Truthful Tuesday with a panel of Middle East and national-security experts weighing whether Tehran can be trusted to honor it. The discussion covers the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the lifted naval blockade, sanctions relief tied to Iranian compliance, the unresolved question of who monitors Iran's highly enriched uranium, and the continued fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon that could still derail the deal. Guests examine the weakened-but-defiant IRGC, the regime's internal divisions, the prospects for an expanded set of Abraham Accords, and oil markets reacting to the news as West Texas Intermediate slips below $78 a barrel.The program also breaks down a major homeland-security story: the FBI's disruption of an alleged plot targeting the UFC "Freedom 250" event at the White House, a multi-state scheme reportedly involving explosive-laden drones and a staged sniper team. Panelists discuss the scale and sophistication of the plot, the possibility of a foreign or state-sponsored link, and the broader risks tied to years of open-border crossings. The hour ties these threads to a wider theme the host returns to throughout the show: national division, a new NBC poll on declining American pride, and the cultural and political fault lines heading into the midterms.On the economy, the panel assesses how falling oil prices, stubborn inflation, and the Federal Reserve under new chair Kevin Warsh could shape relief at the pump and the ballot box. Additional segments cover the race for AI dominance and building public trust in the technology, fraud and eligibility loopholes in the SNAP food-stamp program, New York City Mayor Mamdani's $22 billion rent-control housing plan, and cuts to school safety officers in New York City schools.

Jake Smith and the panel break down President Trump's announced U.S.–Iran deal — the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the lifted naval blockade, falling oil prices, and whether Tehran can be trusted to comply.President Trump has announced a completed agreement with Iran, and Jake Smith opens Your News Talk America with the breaking details: a memorandum of understanding set to be signed Friday in Geneva, the toll-free reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the lifting of the U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports, and a ceasefire spanning the region — including Lebanon. Following Operation Epic Fury, oil markets reacted fast, with West Texas Intermediate dropping below $80 a barrel for the first time in more than three months. But the central question drives the broadcast: will Iran actually comply, or is this a deal with a regime that has spent decades evading its commitments?The panel digs into the national security stakes and the fine print still to come. Discussion covers the divide inside the Iranian regime between negotiators and a weakened-but-defiant IRGC, the fate of Hezbollah and continued Israeli strikes in Lebanon, friction between the Trump administration and Prime Minister Netanyahu over strategy and tactics, and the path toward an expanded set of Abraham Accords. Guests weigh how enrichment, verification, sanctions relief, and "verifiable and irreversible" dismantlement would have to work for any deal to hold — and contrast it with the Obama-era JCPOA.The program also turns to the markets and the economy as oil retreats, equities push toward record highs, and the SpaceX IPO draws scrutiny. In the second half, Heritage Foundation scholar Delano Squires joins to discuss his new book on the decline of the American family, welfare and cultural policy, and the long-term public impact of fatherlessness and marriage trends. It's a wide-ranging look at U.S. foreign policy, energy, and the issues shaping the week ahead — with the recurring reminder that "a lot can happen between today and Friday."FEATURED GUESTSBrady Knox — Foreign Affairs Reporter, Washington ExaminerE.J.

Jake Smith and a panel of economists and reporters break down the Iran deal standoff, oil and inflation pressures, Capitol Hill gridlock, and the future of the American Dream on Digital Interactive Friday.Anchorman Jake Smith opens Digital Interactive Friday with the question dominating Washington and global markets: is a final agreement with Iran real, or a deal with the devil? In his monologue, Smith argues that Tehran has every incentive to stall, cheat, and use any unfrozen assets to rebuild its terror networks, while warning that American impatience over higher gas prices reflects a loss of wartime resolve. The show tracks President Trump's shifting public statements, the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, and what a settlement would mean for energy, with West Texas Intermediate and Brent crude both sliding well below the $300 a barrel some analysts once predicted.The economy stays front and center as Kerry Lutz of the Financial Survival Network and Dr. Jeffrey L. Degner of the American Institute for Economic Research break down roughly 4.2 percent inflation, rising apparel and food costs, the diesel pass through driving prices upward, and a federal appeals court allowing the administration's 10 percent global tariffs to continue. On Capitol Hill, Epoch Times senior reporter Nathan Worcester reports on a stalled SAVE Act, the standoff over Section 702 surveillance authority, looming Social Security insolvency, and a volatile primary season from Maine to South Carolina heading into the 2026 midterms.Other national threads include a possible collapse of the Cuban regime and the reinvestment opportunities that could follow, the uncertain future of the USMCA with Canada and Mexico, and a wide ranging conversation with author Thom Hartmann on his book Who Killed the American Dream?

Ariza explains why a state that cannot refine enough of its own gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel becomes a national problem, reaching from military readiness to the food supply moving through the Port of Los Angeles.The program also tracks the Iran endgame and what a deal or a further round of strikes could mean for oil prices and the 2026 midterms, with Strelmark founder Hilary Fordwich on the economy, reshoring, and Treasury strategy, and Newsmax host Jon Glasgow on the media and a news cycle moving at record speed.

Evan Trevers of Lanth explains how reengineered permanent magnets are pulling foreign object debris off airport runways and could reshape maglev and mining. Innovation strategist Nick Smoot discusses Build Cities, community-driven innovation networks, and how Americans can coexist with AI rather than fear it. Tech commercialization veteran Jay Modi breaks down what real AI and machine learning can do for fragile supply chains, while Michael Lassen of UAV Corp / Skyborne Technologies details next-generation airships built for persistent wide-area surveillance at events and borders.The energy hour turns to American resilience and independence. Michael Coleman of Commando Fuels makes the case for hemp as a high-density domestic biofuel that can supplement diesel and jet fuel and strengthen vulnerable supply chains, and Holt previews Red Post Energy's gas-turbine generation as a fast fix for a strained electric grid facing surging demand from data centers and EVs. Throughout, Holt ties advanced manufacturing, energy security, and defense technology back to the entrepreneurs willing to build it.This is news/talk for listeners who care about national security, energy policy, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, and the future of American innovation — powered by the DIAL interactive listener platform, where the audience submits and votes on the questions in real time.3.

A Memorial Day 2026 special with guest host Gen. Blaine Holt and combat-veteran guests on honoring the fallen, supporting veterans and Gold Star families, and the national security stories shaping the day.A special Memorial Day 2026 edition of Your News Talk America, guest-hosted by Brigadier General Blaine Holt (USAF, Ret.), filling in for Jake Smith. On a holiday marking America's 250th anniversary and more than one million service members lost across the nation's history, Holt and his guests move past the platitudes to confront what the day actually asks of the living: telling the stories of those who never came home, and standing up for the veterans, first responders, and Gold Star families who did.The conversation tracks the national stories driving the moment. President Trump's posture toward Iran — a framework to end the conflict, open the Strait of Hormuz, and resolve enriched nuclear material in exchange for sanctions relief — sits alongside the human cost of Operation Epic Fury and the 13 service members killed since February. From there the program turns to the systemic failures veterans face after service: the firewall between the Defense Department and the VA, a transition process that strips identity and isolates the wounded, and a military mental-health culture that has long punished those who ask for help. Holt and his guests, all combat veterans, speak candidly about veteran suicide, the burden carried by commanders, and why so many continue serving long after they hang up the uniform.Featured throughout are leaders turning that mission into action: combat surgeon Doc Pete Chambers; Under One Flag co-founder Mike Burns, who fights veteran isolation through outdoor adventures; Navy SEAL Mike Sorelli on military leadership, free enterprise, and the data-center workforce as a national security priority; Defenders Gateway CEO Carol Watanabe and her free, verified resource platform for the defender community; and Lt. Col. Matt Meck on election integrity and the upcoming Fraud Fighter Summit. It's a substantive, no-fluff look at sacrifice, service, and the responsibilities that outlast the battlefield.FEATURED GUESTSBrigadier General Blaine Holt (USAF, Ret.) — Guest host filling in for Jake Smith; Newsmax contributor; host of the Dangerous Intellectuals podcast; former Deputy U.S. Military Representative to NATOLt.

A Memorial Day weekend news/talk discussion of the Iran conflict, NATO, Cuba, the Federal Reserve, gold versus the dollar, and constitutional liberty, hosted by Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt (Ret.).Guest host Brigadier General Blaine Holt (Ret., U.S. Air Force) leads a Memorial Day weekend edition of Your News Talk America, connecting national security, the economy, and constitutional liberty. The program opens on the ongoing Iran conflict and the contested Strait of Hormuz, examining Secretary of State Marco Rubio's NATO diplomacy, adjustments to U.S. troop levels in Europe, surging gas prices, and the political pressure to end the war ahead of the November midterms. The discussion also turns to U.S. economic pressure on Cuba and what it signals about American strategy in the Western Hemisphere.The focus then shifts to money and markets: the swearing-in of a new Federal Reserve chairman, central-bank gold buying and repatriation, the declining purchasing power of the dollar, and an extended look at the GENIUS Act, stablecoins, and what a move toward gold-linked Treasuries could mean for reshoring American manufacturing. Energy policy rounds out the conversation, with debate over nuclear power, small modular reactors, U.S. refinery capacity, and the strain that data centers place on water and the electrical grid.The episode closes on American liberty and civic action — the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, federalism, and the case for engagement at the local and county level. Throughout, the broadcast frames current events as a "sovereignist versus globalist" struggle, paired with a Memorial Day reflection on those who served and did not return.Note: This is an opinion-driven news/talk program; guests' claims and forecasts are their own.FEATURED GUESTSBrigadier General Blaine Holt — Retired U.S. Air Force; guest host (sitting in for regular host Jake Smith)Fred Fleitz — Vice Chairman, America First Policy Institute Center for American Security; former CIA analyst and former NSC Chief of Staff (transcribed phonetically as "Fred Flights")Guy Vantresca — Economics and markets commentator; real estate executive (name as transcribed)Andy Schectman — President/CEO, Miles Franklin (precious metals) (transcribed "Schechman/Shekman")Anne Vandersteel — Independent/alternative media host, "Steel Truth" (transcribed "Van der Steel")Stephen Eugene Kuhn — Author, "Citizen Servant Leader" series; founder of the TAB civic initiative (jointab.us)Your News Talk America with Jake SmithBroadcast weekdays on The Talk of Delmarva (92.7 and 98.5) and streaming online at WGMD.com and RealNewsTalk.com.Listen live, participate, and become a program Patriot by visiting:RealNewsTalk.com from 9 - Noon EasternFollow the latest national conversations, interviews, and commentary from voices shaping America’s political landscape.Produced by DTD MEDIA. © 2026 DTD MEDIA, All Rights Reserved.Interactive Radio - Join DIAL — Ask Questions & Chat LiveGo to RealNewsTalk.com on your phone or computer.Tap the blue "Join DIAL" button near the top of the page.Register with a quick display name Type your question or comment and send.

Guest host Gen. Blaine Holt and guests examine property tax fraud, government transparency, foreign aid waste, and threats to liberty in the United States and Europe.Guest host Brigadier General Blaine Holt (USAF, Ret.) leads a three hour examination of the financial, legal, and political pressures bearing down on ordinary citizens at home and across the West. The morning opens with Texas developer Mitch Vexler, who lays out his criminal complaint alleging systematic property tax fraud by appraisal districts, a practice he argues violates multiple constitutional protections and puts tens of millions of American households at risk of foreclosure. John Hart of Open the Books follows with a case for real time government transparency, describing new tools designed to give citizens, rather than the administrative state, the power of data and oversight.In the second hour, Holt turns to Europe for a warning about where unchecked government power can lead. Irish farmer and activist Peter Connolly details the fuel tax protests and migration pressures straining Ireland, and former UK Member of Parliament Andrew Bridgen of Restore Britain describes mass demonstrations in London, arrests over social media posts, and what he sees as the cost of energy and immigration policy on British life.The final hour features development economist Dr. Emily Brearley, author of Aid Inferno and a former World Bank insider, who argues that decades of foreign aid spending through USAID and international NGOs failed the world's poorest while enriching a Washington based aid industry. Drawing on his own military command experience in Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan, Holt connects her findings to broader questions of national security, accountability, and reform under Secretary of State Marco Rubio.Throughout, the program returns to a single theme: transparency, property rights, and citizen engagement as the line of defense against concentrated power. The episode closes with the recurring Salute the Troops tribute.FEATURED GUESTSBrig. Gen.

Guest host General Blaine Holt (USAF, Ret.) covers California's fuel-refining crisis with Mike Ariza, the WHO's disease narratives with Dr. Peter McCullough, defending liberty locally with Lt. Col. Darren Gobb, and fighting child trafficking with Nate Lewis of The Innocent.Guest host General Holt fills in for Jake Smith on Your News Talk America, opening with a wave of primary results and historic incumbent retirements ahead of the 2026 midterms before diving into a deeply reported look at California's collapsing refining capacity. Former Valero Benicia refinery operator Mike Ariza explains how the state went from dozens of refineries to a handful, why fuel imports now make up roughly 40 percent of supply, and how shutdowns combined with the Strait of Hormuz disruption could trigger cascading effects on fuel, ports, food supply chains, and military readiness across the western United States. The conversation makes the case for federal intervention through the Defense Production Act.Dr. Peter McCullough joins to scrutinize the global health narrative coming out of the WHO and CDC, examining Ebola, hantavirus, and norovirus coverage, the science behind transmission claims, available therapeutics, and what he argues is a recurring pattern of fear messaging that sidelines treatment in favor of vaccine development. The show then turns to American liberty with retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Darren Gobb, who argues that the real fight for constitutional freedom begins not in Washington but in homes, families, and local government.The episode closes with Nate Lewis of The Innocent, who outlines concrete, community-level ways citizens can engage in the fight against child exploitation and human trafficking, from local protector teams to funding officer training.This is a news/talk discussion focused on energy policy, national security, public health, individual liberty, and child protection — with practical steps for listeners who want to get involved at the local level.Blaine — Guest host (in for Jake Smith); writer at Newsmax and the "Dangerous Intellectuals" Substack; founder of Zerient (zerient.com)Mike Ariza — Former senior refinery operator, Valero Benicia facility; energy supply-chain analystDr. Peter McCullough — Physician with The Wellness CompanyLt.

Brig. Gen. (ret) Blaine D. Holt and Tom Luongo on dollar liquidity as the master variable behind bond yields, oil prices, Iran pressure, and the political battle reshaping 2026.Guest host Brig. Gen. (ret) Blaine D. Holt closes out a three-hour edition of Your News Talk America with a deep-dive interview alongside Tom Luongo, host of Gold, Goats 'n Guns and Newsmax newsletter author, on the global economic chessboard. The conversation cuts past surface market noise to examine dollar liquidity as the single dominant variable driving everything from Treasury yields and oil prices to central bank behavior in London, Brussels, and Beijing.Luongo and Holt frame the current moment as fifth-generation warfare between sovereigntist and globalist forces, arguing that rising bond yields, currency stress in the euro and pound, and the scramble for marginal barrels of oil are downstream of a deliberate strategy to drain offshore dollar leverage and pull capital back inside the United States. The discussion covers the future of the Federal Reserve under Kevin Warsh, the shift from LIBOR to SOFR, the role of stablecoins as middleware for a bifurcated dollar system, and how genius and clarity legislation could reroute credit creation away from the City of London and back to American banks and entrepreneurs.The conversation then turns to the political battlefield: Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's testimony, the scope of Southern District of Florida investigations, Trump's primary challenge to Thomas Massie as a litmus test for endorsement power, the Iran pressure campaign and the question of whether the Strait of Hormuz is genuinely contested, and a provocative theory connecting Guantanamo expansion, Cuba operations, and the possibility of a delegate-seated 2028 convention. The hour closes with Holt's debrief tying together the day's earlier interviews with Victoria Coates, Tom Del Beccaro, and Lance at RedPost Energy, and a call to American entrepreneurs to put freedom to work.Brig.

Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt guest-hosts YNTA, breaking down the CIA-DNI document standoff, the historical roots of the deep state, the Trump-Xi Beijing summit, and the medical fear cycle now hitting American headlines.Guest host Brigadier General Blaine Holt (Ret.) takes the YNTA microphone for Jake Smith and delivers three hours of straight-talk national security analysis, opening with the still-unresolved story of the CIA reportedly removing roughly 40 boxes of material from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence — a move that runs against a standing presidential executive order and has constitutional-crisis implications. Lt. Col. Tony Shafer joins the conversation to walk through the bureaucratic warfare between Langley and the DNI, and what it says about the entrenched intelligence community under Director Tulsi Gabbard and DNI counsel John Ratcliffe.The second hour pulls the camera back. Col. Roxanne Towner Watkins traces the historical roots of today's deep state from the late-1800s Fabian Society through Operation Paperclip, Operation Gladio, the Rockefeller-funded London School of Economics, and the Lugar bioweapons labs in Ukraine and Georgia. The conversation connects CIA tick-drop operations against Cuba in the 1960s to today's alpha-gal syndrome outbreaks and the broader "strategy of tension" being used to pressure the American public.Hour three turns to the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing. Joshua Philipp of Epoch Times' "Crossroads" unpacks what actually happened — the Strait of Hormuz pressure play, Chinese cash-flow problems, the purge of Xi's defense-industry leadership after the J-20 program was exposed as a farce, and why Chinese foreign direct investment in the U.S. may be a sovereignty trap dressed as a trade deal. The show closes with Dr. Mary Bowden on the simultaneous Hantavirus, norovirus, Ebola, and alpha-gal stories now flooding the news cycle, and whether the medical establishment is dusting off the 2020 playbook.Brigadier General Blaine Holt, USAF (Ret.) — Guest host; Newsmax contributor; host of the Dangerous Intellectuals podcastLt.

Jake Smith breaks down President Trump's two-day China summit with Xi Jinping, weighing what was — and wasn't — accomplished on rare earths, Taiwan, Iran, and trade. Dr. John Marshall Callahan, professor at the Institute of World Politics and former Deputy Spokesperson at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, joins to assess the optics of the visit, the operational security measures taken by U.S. staff in Beijing, and the dual-use military support China continues to provide Tehran. The conversation turns to escalating activity in the Strait of Hormuz, the potential restart of Operation Epic Fury, and whether U.S. Marines could move on Karg Island as Iran runs out of oil storage capacity.Professor Alan Dershowitz joins to discuss his decision to dedicate the remainder of his career to defending Jewish civil rights in America, his concern about the trajectory of the Democratic Party, and the constitutional case for preventative action against Iran's nuclear program drawn from his latest book, "The Preventative State." Alan Parker, president of the Justice Foundation, presents the organization's new Declaration of the Right to Life in the U.S. Constitution, tracing the argument through the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments and the Declaration of Independence.Constitutional law professor Ilan Wurman, author of "The Constitution of 1789: A New Introduction," walks through the war powers framework behind the Maduro operation and the Iran strikes, and explains how Supreme Court decisions on the Voting Rights Act reshaped the current redistricting fight. Chris Salcedo, host of The Chris Salcedo Show and author of "The Rise of the Liberty Loving Latino," weighs in on the Latino vote heading into the 2026 midterms and the role of Senate Republicans in stalling the America First agenda.

Jake Smith breaks down the CIA whistleblower's bombshell testimony on Fauci and the COVID cover-up, an alleged CIA raid on DNI Tulsi Gabbard's office, Iran's intensifying crackdown, and Trump's summit with Xi Jinping — with Judge Andrew Napolitano, Dr. Steven Mosher, Rabbi Michael Barclay, and reporters from the Washington Examiner.Anchorman Jake Smith leads with the explosive Senate testimony of a CIA whistleblower confirming that agency scientists concluded early on that COVID-19 originated from the Wuhan lab — and that Dr. Anthony Fauci personally intervened to overrule them. Jake plays Fox News audio of committee chairman Sen. Rand Paul detailing how Fauci commissioned scientific papers in secret, pressured intelligence analysts, and shielded himself from accountability over gain-of-function research funding. Not a single Democrat attended the hearing, and the CIA publicly attacked the proceeding while it was still underway. Jake asks the question now hanging over Washington: will the preemptive Biden pardon allow Fauci to walk away from what may be the most consequential cover-up in modern history?The program also examines the alleged CIA seizure of files from DNI Tulsi Gabbard's office — documents tied to the JFK and MLK assassinations and the CIA's MK-ULTRA mind-control program. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says the raid happened and has threatened a subpoena; Judge Andrew Napolitano says the CIA has no legal authority to conduct law-enforcement raids on U.S. soil and questions whether it occurred at all. Judge Napolitano also breaks down his latest column, "When Killing Becomes Commonplace," on the Navy's continued destruction of suspected narcotics boats — 56 vessels and 190 people killed without charges — and the overturned Murdaugh murder convictions in South Carolina.International coverage centers on Iran, where former political prisoner Homera Hasami describes the regime's escalating executions of protesters and MEK members, the loss of Iran's supreme leader and senior commanders, and a planned mass demonstration in Washington, D.C. Dr. Steven Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute and one of the first China experts to publicly blame the Wuhan lab, analyzes Trump's upcoming summit with Xi Jinping, Beijing's loss of proxies in Venezuela and Cuba, and the demographic collapse triggered by China's one-child policy. Both guests address Pope Leo's controversial decision to bestow the Vatican's highest diplomatic honor on Iran's ambassador.Rounding out the broadcast: Rabbi Michael Barclay on the terroristic attack outside a Brooklyn synagogue, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, California's AB 2017 push to make Islamic holidays state holidays, and the Paul Kessler case; Washington Examiner congressional reporter Lauren Green on the third reconciliation bill targeting federal fraud and how the Virginia Supreme Court redistricting decision is reshaping the 2026 midterm map; Homeland Security reporter Anna Giaritelli on DC crime statistics and Glock switch trafficking; and streaming-industry CEO Sean Stockell on subscription fatigue and the return of ad-supported viewing. Jake also announces that Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt will be guest-hosting beginning Monday.

The YNTA panel breaks down China's illegal Glock switch pipeline, the Van Hollen–Patel Senate clash, the national redistricting fight, the Vatican's diplomatic honor for Iran's ambassador, and New Jersey's battle over parental rights.Jake Smith and the YNTA panel open this morning with a national security story making waves: China has been selling illegal Glock switches to Americans through the mail. Washington Examiner homeland security reporter Anna Giaritelli joins the program to break down the investigation and what it means for U.S. law enforcement and border policy.The panel also examines the heated Senate exchange between Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen and FBI Director Kash Patel, and turns to the escalating redistricting battles unfolding across the country. Epoch Times senior reporter Nathan Worcester, Louisiana radio and television host Jeff Crouere, and New American magazine publisher Dr. Steve Bonta weigh in on where the redistricting wars are headed and what's at stake heading into the next election cycle.In the second half of the program, the panel looks at Pope Leo's decision to bestow the Vatican's highest diplomatic honor on Iran's ambassador, Ayatollah Muhammad Hussein Maktari, and what the gesture signals about Vatican–Tehran relations.

Jake Smith breaks down Trump's Beijing summit with Xi Jinping, the legacy media's defense of Cole Allen, ABC News burying a Disney cruise scandal, Israel's Iron Dome deployment to the UAE, and Jonathan Pollard's run for the Knesset.Truthful Tuesday on Your News Talk America with Jake Smith centers on President Trump's high stakes trip to Beijing for a face to face with Xi Jinping. Jake delivers a sharp monologue, "A Fool's Errand," tracing every American president's pilgrimage to China back to Nixon's 1972 handover and arguing that normalization has cost the United States its industrial base, military technology, and intellectual property. Panels with Heritage Foundation policy analyst Andrew Harding, Gatestone Institute senior fellow Gordon G. Chang, and retired Marine Colonel Grant Newsom dig into Xi Jinping's grip on the PLA, the trillion dollar Chinese investment push reported by the New York Times, and why CEOs from Apple, Tesla, BlackRock, Boeing, Citi, and Goldman Sachs are accompanying the delegation.The broadcast also turns hard against the legacy press.
