Bolsonaro Flees Brazil | Pakistan's Blasphemy Ruling | Waltz vs. Cuba at the UN | 10/28/26

Aaron McIntire covers President Trump's Truth Social pledge of $1 million to anyone who reports voter fraud leading to an arrest and conviction, a plan with no details yet on funding or who would administer it. He covers Trump calling Brazil's runoff "another rigged election" after Lula beat Flávio Bolsonaro 51.8 percent to 48.2 percent and Bolsonaro refused to concede, and he questions the vote swing between rounds, though Brazil's electoral court certified the result and no fraud evidence has been presented. Aaron also covers Barack Obama's Saddam Hussein Cheesecake Factory joke about Trump's gold-accented White House renovations and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's lunchtime response outside a Cheesecake Factory. He plays House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries telling MS NOW that Democrats will hold Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accountable if Trump does not push him aside, ahead of an impeachment resolution expected after the midterms, and a new Gallup survey in which 46 percent of Republicans and 6 percent of Democrats named patriotism among the values the country needs most. Aaron reacts to newly circulating remarks from a 2023 speech by Texas Senate nominee James Talarico on what Jesus would say to the Texas legislature, and Vice President JD Vance's Montana campaign stop, where he said Democrats will bend the knee to Pelosi and Schumer. He closes with Microsoft's voluntary buyout offer to about 60,000 employees, roughly 27 percent of its workforce, which the company ties to its AI spending and which Aaron suspects could signal offshoring.

Aaron McIntire covers President Trump's Michigan rally for Mike Rogers, where he attacked Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, who denies claims of Muslim Brotherhood ties, and a viral Oval Office exchange in which Trump snapped at reporter Andrew Feinberg over a golf course question. He breaks down the Pentagon's FORTRESS initiative requiring major U.S. military bases to sustain essential operations for 90 days without outside power or supplies, a planned requirement rather than a forecast of a nationwide blackout. Aaron also covers the full Fifth Circuit's 10 to 7 ruling that immigrants who entered without inspection have no constitutional right to bond hearings while detained, ahead of a related Supreme Court case. He covers Rep. Ilhan Omar's first TV interview since the search of her home, where she said "not to my knowledge" when asked if she is related to her former husband, and a New York Post report on her sister's 1997 marriage certificate listing the surname Elmi, which does not establish whether the two are related. Aaron plays former President Barack Obama's Detroit rally pitch for El-Sayed, the Coast Guard rescue swimmer who saved 16 people from a capsized boat off Baja California where 11 others were never found, and a tally of 64 bear attacks across North America this year.

Aaron McIntire covers the AI-assisted discovery of two critical flaws in PHP, the programming language behind a large share of websites, which led European governments and U.S. organizations to take sites offline Wednesday while the FBI and NSA urged immediate updates. He covers Rep. Ilhan Omar breaking her silence with a fundraising appeal after the search of her home, and a court filing listing her as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar," which some conservatives read as evidence of a false identity though prosecutors have not said so. Aaron also covers the Supreme Court leaving in place an injunction that blocks the Bureau of Prisons from ending so-called "gender-affirming care," with Justices Alito and Thomas dissenting. He plays Vice President JD Vance telling Republicans to stop whining about Vivek Ramaswamy's ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mother, which Ramaswamy has taken responsibility for, and Senator John Cornyn's CNBC remarks on low-turnout primary runoffs. Aaron covers Elon Musk's claim that the March Austin bar shooter was fired from Tesla after assaulting a coworker, details that match a lawsuit filed in March, and polling firm Wedgewood's admission that it fabricated its poll data. He closes with his weekly poll results and his midterm outlook.

Aaron McIntire covers the Trump administration's new $25 million Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program, which pays tipsters up to $30,000 for information leading to fraud charges, along with President Trump's comments urging Ukraine to end the war. He covers the Social Security Administration's record cleanup of about 50 million records, a push to expand Trump Accounts to anyone under 40, and Elon Musk's pledge to give every American child a SpaceX share next year. Aaron also covers an ad circulated by supporters of Vivek Ramaswamy featuring Democratic nominee Amy Acton's estranged mother calling her a liar in the Ohio governor's race, with Acton's campaign saying she was abused as a child and National Review reporting that court records confirm key parts of her history. He plays Senator Elissa Slotkin defending her comments about a deterrence message for Trump administration staffers, and retiring Senator Thom Tillis telling Politico he expects Republicans to lose the House. Aaron breaks down record low pending home sales as mortgage rates climbed, the WNBA's letter to Congress saying Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White are ineligible because they are men, and a viral Q&A clip on multiculturalism and assimilation.

Aaron McIntire covers Vice President JD Vance's rally message that Democrats are barking up the wrong tree on affordability and gas prices, and President Trump's reaction to the weekend riots in France, where he blamed immigration and urged Macron to close the borders while France's prime minister blamed ultra-left radical groups. He plays House Speaker Mike Johnson telling Larry Kudlow that Republicans will defy the polls, along with pollster Frank Luntz on whether surveys are missing Republican voters ahead of the midterms, now two weeks away. Aaron also covers the Justice Department's Operation Protect the Vote, which charged more than two dozen lawful permanent residents in California with false statements or fraudulent voter registration, and Civil Rights Division chief Harmeet Dhillon's 60 Minutes interview defending the voter roll push. He reacts to Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed comparing scrutiny of his family's Muslim Brotherhood ties to attacks on JFK and Obama, and the news that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is out for the season with blood clots in his legs and lungs. Aaron plays Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying in a Breitbart interview that he doesn't think it's a coincidence that Latin American politics shifted after USAID closed, while acknowledging he can't prove a direct election impact. He closes by arguing the midterms will come down to turnout, including in Iowa, where Trump is scheduled to rally Thursday.
