Joel Gilbert argues that the Democrats' focus on the Epstein files was a "hoax" intended to bludgeon Trump, which ultimately backfired.

Gilbert suggests the left will continue to seek out incidents to incite riots before the midterms.

Alex Jones opens the May 14, 2025, broadcast by critiquing his own tendency to focus on single topics rather than the broader news cycle.

The branding of veterans and populists as "domestic terrorists" is described as the intended outcome of the January 6th propaganda cycle.
