Keeping It Real: Conversations with Jillian Michaels

Show Notes

Midterm elections 2026: Obama’s El-Sayed problem, the billionaire money behind Talarico, and the ActBlue scandal nobody will answer for.

Weeks before the midterm elections, Barack Obama is campaigning to put Abdul El-Sayed in the U.S. Senate, a man his own administration treated as a security risk. The ActBlue CEO was asked under oath how an 88 year old with no internet donated $150,000 to Democrats, and gave the same answer 22 times. Van Jones, Stephen A. Smith, and a two time cancer survivor finish the job before Michigan votes.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Abdul El-Sayed Israel position: Jewish Democrats in Michigan want one sentence from him. Van Jones reveals why he can’t say it. Barack Obama campaigns for El-Sayed: The clip that didn’t age well, and what the Obama administration once did to El-Sayed’s own family. Black voters and reparations: Devere Darkens on why Democrats keep promising it, and the budget line that proves they never planned to pay. Open borders and the Black vote: The numbers in the classrooms and emergency rooms, and who’s paying for it. Talarico and El-Sayed PAC money: New York and California billionaires, a Soros family fundraiser, and a PAC you’ve never heard of. Follow every dollar. ActBlue CEO and the $150,000 grandmother: A reporter finds her in rural Michigan. What she says on camera breaks the whole story open. Medicare for All and Canada: One in ten Canadians waits more than 48 hours for a bed. That’s the good news. Why a bone cancer survivor left the Democrats: One debate stage moment, and ten years without insurance. Epstein files under Biden: Four years, zero emails. Stephen A. Smith asks the question that ends the midterm argument. FRIDAY: Mike Rogers, El-Sayed’s Republican opponent in the Michigan Senate race, sits down for the hard questions.

Nate Friedman walked into the protests, the migrant shelters, and the neighborhoods the media won’t show you, and came back with footage that gets him banned, threatened and followed. Now he’s telling Jillian Michaels who’s paying for it, who's profiting off it, and why he believes America has less time than anyone thinks.

Shane Gillis SNL firestorm, the Cornell 7 "I Am Jane Doe" revolt, and the Katie Zacharia attack that exposed the left three weeks before the midterms. With the midterms weeks away, the party that built its entire brand on protecting women, minorities, and the oppressed just got caught, on camera, doing the opposite on every single front. Kathy Hochul and Bruce Blakeman clashed in the New York governor debate over illegal immigration, Mamdani, and crime, and one answer from Hochul may have handed Republicans the exact clip they need in November. Social and political commentator Anthony Rispo joins Jillian to break down why the woke moral script is collapsing in real time, from the Shane Gillis SNL monologue to the Cornell 7 case to a France riots solidarity stunt so insane it has to be seen to be believed. Then, Ziwe sat Hasan Piker down and asked the internet's favorite socialist one question about Karl Marx and his $2.7 million house, and he never recovered. The new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia got hit with an attack the left swore it would never use on a woman. And Dan Levy, Letitia James, Bernie Sanders, and Tucker Carlson all show up, and not one of them comes out clean. Rispo, a Columbia-trained psychologist, lays out the actual science behind why people set themselves on fire for a cause, scream "I am Jane Doe" at strangers, and call a comedian a rapist over a gym joke. If Democrats can't see this pattern, November is going to hurt.
