September 18, 2025

From Hollywood censorship to Middle East power shifts—this episode exposes the assault on freedom at home and abroad. ABC fires Jimmy Kimmel for a “dangerous” monologue, the FCC and Congress tighten media control, and CEOs fold under political pressure. Meanwhile, Intel gets a $5B boost from Nvidia, Saudi Arabia deepens its military alliance with Pakistan, and Israel faces growing isolation despite Netanyahu’s laser defense gamble. Plus: Ayn Rand on censorship, the corruption of antitrust, immigration fears in Japan, and a tribute to Robert Redford.

This isn’t just news—it’s a battle over ideas, power, and liberty.
