Peace Abroad, Chaos at Home: The Real State of the Union

Shutdown pain at home, bomb threats in D.C., and a paper-thin peace push abroad. In this America Off The Rails special, Rick breaks down what “most operations closed” at the IRS really means for taxpayers, why the Red Mass arrest matters for our institutions, and how newly declassified intel revives the Biden–Ukraine transparency fight. Then we pivot overseas to the Gaza peace framework — what Phase One promises (hostages, pullback, inspections), where it can break, and why verification beats applause. Plus: Pam Bondi’s Senate showdown, the right-of-center split on Israel strategy, and what “one law for everybody” should look like in America. Hard questions, clean receipts, and zero patience for political theater. Become a supporter of this podcast: .
