Good evening everyone. Another weekend down, and tonight I come to you with a major development. A civil war has erupted inside the Republican Party over the future of the conservative movement, and it is getting ugly. This comes just days before critical elections across America and as Trump’s approval rating drops fast.
This week will be a busy one. I’ll be providing live coverage of all election results, and you may receive three to four updates Tuesday night. Later in the week, I’ll be meeting with several key figures (can’t share who just yet), but trust me, we are building something big. I have major things in motion.
On a personal note, after tennis today, a man stopped me on the street. He said he recognized me, that he watches my content, and that he used to watch mainstream media. He told me he appreciated the work and that our coverage helped him realize the news he was watching before wasn’t giving him the full picture. This is real, and our movement is growing.

Here’s what you missed today:
A civil war has erupted within the conservative movement after Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts defended Tucker Carlson’s decision to interview white nationalist Nick Fuentes.
Roberts’s remarks, seen as legitimizing Fuentes’s antisemitic views, drew condemnation from Republican senators and even staff within Heritage itself, who argued that Fuentes’s ideology has no place in mainstream conservatism. Critics, including Mitch McConnell and leaders of other think tanks, warned that embracing figures like Fuentes risks fracturing the conservative coalition and undermining its moral foundation.
Despite the backlash, Roberts maintained his support for Carlson and rejected calls to “cancel” Fuentes, arguing that harmful ideas should be challenged through debate rather than censorship. Prominent MAGA-aligned figures like Steve Bannon and leaders of pro-Trump organizations rallied behind Roberts, praising him for resisting pressure from establishment conservatives.
The FBI fired senior official Steven Palmer after Director Kash Patel became enraged over media reports that he had used a government jet to visit his girlfriend, singer Alexis Wilkins.

Kash Patel spent the day defending his girlfriend on Twitter:

Nigeria rejected President Donald Trump’s threat of U.S. military action over alleged persecution of Christians, calling his claims misleading and politically motivated.

The U.S. military conducted a strike on an alleged drug-smuggling vessel in the Caribbean, killing three people, according to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The attack, the 15th since September, brings the total death toll from recent U.S. strikes to at least 64.

A new NBC News poll shows Democrats leading Republicans by 8 points in the 2026 congressional race as widespread frustration with President Trump’s handling of the economy, cost of living, and democracy gives them an opening, though both parties remain unpopular and voters are deeply divided over immigration, constitutional rights, and U.S. foreign policy.
A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll finds that 59% of Americans disapprove of President Trump’s job performance nine months into his second term, with most saying he has overstepped his powers—yet voter support for Democrats and Republicans remains nearly even heading into the 2026 midterms.

Federal immigration raids continued on Halloween night in Chicago and Los Angeles, with clashes breaking out between Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and protesters.
