  • Wake up! Trump's UFC Cagefight is Illegal - TEASER
    2026/06/18
    Americans have been so beaten down by corruption, ramped up since the Reagan Revolution, that many act like they forgot their rights. Gaslit Nation is here to remind you: Trump's UFC cagefight White House party is illegal, and so are likely many of the events of Trump's Freedom 250, his shell company for illegally collecting bribes and selling access to the White House in the name of celebrating America's 250th anniversary. While a shocking amount of corruption has been illegalized, we are still a nation of laws. It's illegal to use money that Congress appropriated for a different purpose. It is also illegal to mingle corporate money with public tax-payer funds appropriated by the government, without, getting permission from Congress. That is exactly what Trump is doing: he stole tax-payer funds appropriated by Congress from America 250–the bipartisan planning event–and is using that, along with corporate funds/bribes to hold MAGA rallies for his death cult. Dan Friedman, an investigative reporter for Mother Jones, breaks down our path to accountability, to stand up to yet another king–there's no better way to truly honor the American Revolution. Remember when we all cheered when Trump's name was taken off the Kennedy Center? We can do that again if lawsuits reclaim our stolen funds for Trump's Freedom 250 grift. Congresswoman Joyce Beatty of Ohio brought the Kennedy Center case with Democracy Defenders Action and the Washington Litigation Group. Email her office to demand another case. Two-hundred and fifty years ago, a group of rebels defeated an empire. We can and must do it again. Gaslit Nation is here to remind you who the true patriots are.

  • January 6 Shadow on Trump's 250 Rallies
    2026/06/17
    The barbarians are inside the gates and throwing a toxic masculinity pageant on the front lawn. While the United States should be preparing to honor the 250th anniversary of our democratic republic by working toward a more perfect union, Donald Trump has hijacked the historic milestone to throw corrupt, all-caps "TRUMP RALLIES" and UFC cage matches to distract from his economic warfare on the American people as he and his family rake in billions. This week, Mother Jones investigative reporter Dan Friedman joins Gaslit Nation to expose the blatant kleptocracy behind "Freedom 250," a shadowy, dark-money shell company created by the White House to bypass congressional oversight and strip taxpayer funds from the bipartisan America 250 Commission. This corporate-sponsored slush fund allows the administration to openly sell White House access to elite corporate donors and tech oligarchs seeking to build monopolies approved by Trump's DOJ and rake in tax breaks. Even more alarming: the contractor hired to run these "patriotic" events is Event Strategies, the exact same group that profited from organizing Trump's violent January 6th coup attempt. We refuse to normalize corruption. If we look away now, the floodgates will swing wide open for future autocrats to follow. Listen to Part I now, and stay tuned for Part II this Thursday, where we discuss our leverage for accountability and how to fight back!

  • What is Up with Ivanka and Jared's Albanian Island? - TEASER
    2026/06/11
    We dive into Ivanka and Jared's Albanian nightmare. What were they really up to while trying to develop a private island in Albania on protected land, and what are the ramifications of this secret operation in the broader war of democracy vs. fascism? Why are they trying to buy an island in a part of the world notorious for sex trafficking? These questions matter in light of Ivanka's brother marrying Epstein's longtime banker, and the new bombshell reporting out of the New York Times. The Times reports that the Kremlin Klown Kar (KKK) in the White House uses our tax payer-funded Situation Room–meant for sensitive national security matters–to plot the ongoing Epstein cover-up, protecting Epstein's longtime friend, convicted felon Donald Trump. Look to the show notes for a gift link of the New York Times' reporting. For this week's bonus show, Russian mafia expert Ogla Lautman helps connect the dots on what is up with Ivanka and Jared's mysterious island in Albania, a part of the world known for sex-trafficking. Should we be concerned? The Albanian people are–they're storming their own government in a growing anti-corruption movement over Jared and Ivanka's attempts to buy an ecologically protected island. We also discuss Ben Black, Leon Black's son, getting a job in the Trump administration. Both father and son are all over the Epstein files.

  • Trump/Musk Try to Help Russia Invade America via Alaska Tunnel
    2026/06/10
    Think of the 2016 U.S. presidential election as a marriage between the Russian mafia in the West and the Russian mafia in the East. Now, there's talk out of Moscow that Trump has agreed to build a literal tunnel connecting Alaska to Russia, with Elon Musk's help. Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman of the Trump Tyranny Tracker joins us to ring the alarm on this MAGA-backed project, an insane move right when Russia's own neighbors are digging trenches to protect themselves from Putin. So many crimes, so little time to cover them all. That's exactly why Gaslit Nation is joining forces with Olga and the Trump Tyranny Tracker. Together, we'll connect the dots and help you stay grounded against Steve Bannon's deliberate demoralization strategy of "flooding the zone with sh*t." We are up against a global kleptocracy enabled by opportunists across corporate America, the mainstream media, and elite law firms. None of us can do this work alone, which is why Andrea and Olga are partnering up. We're here to make covering this horror show more sustainable, build real civic power, and carry each other through the chaos to stay vigilant and fight back. We also look at why the liaison for Trump's ballroom project took a trip to Moscow. Was he in search of a bribe? Is the ballroom just another Kremlin money-laundering scheme? For this week's bonus show, out Thursday, made with love and rage for our listeners who make our independent journalism possible, out later this week, we look at Jared and Ivanka's mysterious Albanian island–what are those two up to?

  • All Media is Mar-a-Lago Face: The Beauty of Authoritarianism - TEASER
    2026/06/05
    We need to talk about the "creator economy" and the stylish influencers pushing disinformation and misinformation directly into our feeds. The more glossy you are, the more attention you get–and attention is the new currency. That is the same ethos of the princess-haired women swanning around Mar-a-Lago. It's a deliberate dumbing down of society. When gloss replaces the time-intensive grind of investigative journalism, the autocrats and oligarchs who push this strategy distract and confuse us, and ensure important voices who can't win a Sephora Hunger Games get shut out. In this week's bonus show, Gaslit Nation also covers the chilling expansion of America's police state, focusing on the horrifying conditions at the Delaney detention center in New Jersey. Inmates are on hunger strike to demand basic human rights, mirroring the brutal history of political prisoners under Stalin's regime. We must raise our voices, pressure our elected officials (like Governor Mikie Sherrill), and refuse to look away. Do not let the Mar-a-Lago face creator economy and the attention-hungry gatekeepers confuse and wear you down. Stay grounded in your moral force and amplify the truth. Listen to the full episode on Patreon and support our independent journalism. Shape the show and raise your voice at the Gaslit Nation Salon Monday at 4 PM Eastern. Look out for exciting announcements this coming Monday with a special sneak peak exclusively for our Patreon supporters. Can't make it? Listen to the recording later only on Patreon.com/Gaslit.

  • A New American Revolution
    2026/06/03

    Trump is what happens when a bunch of slave owners set up a government to protect their wealth by establishing elite rule through the Senate, Electoral College, and no one fixing it for 250 years. We can and will build a better country from the ashes of MAGA's dumpster fire. We return to our summer 2025 conversation with Osita Nwanevu, a contributing editor for The New Republic, a columnist for The Guardian, and the author of the new book The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding.

    Look out for an all new episode of Gaslit Nation this Thursday on Trump starting to pull the U.S. out of NATO, the moral stain on America of Delaney Hall where there is an ongoing hunger strike over inhumane conditions and a cover-up by the Department of Homeland Security. We're up against the same forces that carried out the genocide of the Native Americans and the authoritarian terror of slavery. But this time, millions of Americans are standing up, fighting back. Look out for Thursday's bonus show, available in full for our Patreon subscribers who make Gaslit Nation possible.

    At this Monday's salon at 4pm ET get ready for some big announcements about the future of the show as we dig in our heels to rebuild our democracy and demand accountability. More soon!

  • Hey Epstein Enablers, We See You, And We Are Coming For You [TEASER - AUDIO ONLY]
    2026/05/29

    In this week's Gaslit Nation bonus show, we dive deeper into the "Iron Triangles" of corruption that enabled Epstein's network, with a special focus on the women co-conspirators. Like Trump is the rotting face of a death cult fascist movement that will outlive him, Epstein was a figurehead of a sprawling transnational crime syndicate, one enabled by powerbrokers still operating in plain sight.

    Joining this discussion are investigative filmmaker Dave Pederson, the producer of the anti-corruption documentaries Americonned and Super Size Me, and OSINT investigator Patrick Duggan who created a searchable database of the Epstein files before the DOJ could delete them.

    As Felon 47 uses the might of his regime to harass survivor E. Jean Carroll, for risking her life to stand up to him for sexual assault, they want us demoralized and checked out. Instead, fight back by watching and amplifying her new documentary, out now, Ask E. Jean, and go to the Gaslit Nation Action Guide for more ways to fight back.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell and the Intelligence Pipeline
    2026/05/27
    Who were the women who worked with Jeffrey Epstein? In Part I of this series, we look at Ghislaine Maxwell, transnational crime royalty as the daughter of MI6/Mossad double-agent and disgraced British media mogul Robert Maxwell, whose dying wish was to connect Maxwell with a young upstart in New York named Epstein. Joining this discussion are investigative filmmaker Dave Pederson, the producer of the anti-corruption documentaries Americonned and Super Size Me, and OSINT expert Patrick Duggan who created a searchable database of the Epstein files before the DOJ could delete them. We also discuss the analysis by investigative journalist Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez that Maxwell was Epstein's handler in an intelligence long-game going back to the O.S.S., predecessor to the C.I.A. Important historical context to our discussion: In 2011, then FBI Director Robert Mueller gave the "Iron Triangles" speech, revealing that transnational crime today works like an industry: fancy Western institutions like banks, law firms, and PR firms launder the money and reputations of shadowy crime and rogue intelligence syndicates, who are further served by their paid-off political operatives and politicians. In the speech, Mueller promised to crack down on the head of the Russian mafia, Semion Mogilevich, nicknamed the "boss of all bosses." Instead, Mogilevich was mysteriously taken off of the FBI's Most Wanted List in 2015, at a time the FBI was busting Russian spy rings in New York City, including Kremlin recruitment of college girls, including one Andrea may have encountered at a foreign policy event. A year later, Donald Trump, after decades of financial dealings with dirty Russian money, would be elected president with the Kremlin's illegal help. The 2016 election was a transnational coup decades in the making. In 1999, a high-level U.S. source leaked to the New York Times, undermining a sensitive intelligence operation between the FBI and MI6 to close-in on Russian mafia infiltration in the West, especially Mogilevich. In reporting from that time, The Guardian wrote: "Author Jeffrey Robinson - whose latest book, The Merger, was published by Simon and Schuster last week - says that organised criminals such as Mogilevich are enjoying massive success using Harvard Business School techniques. 'Mogilevich typifies the new global criminal,' says Robinson. 'These men don't rob banks, they buy them. They take full advantage of globalisation, ill-equipped law enforcement and lax money-laundering laws - especially in Britain - using the City of London as their onshore gateway to the offshore world. 'This case is the tip of the iceberg. The City is an absolute cesspool and it will remain a cesspool because the people in charge don't care. Mogilevich is not the only one, the Bank of New York is not the only place." Russian oligarchs are the Russian military industrial complex. Mogilevich oversees "weapons trafficking, contract murders, extortion, drug trafficking, and prostitution on an international scale," according to the FBI. It would be easy to buy-off U.S. officials, like the FBI's Charles McGonigal who was paid with our tax dollars to fight the Russian mafia, but was instead on their payroll. Intelligence agencies in the U.S. – the FBI and the CIA – have faced virtually no oversight and accountability for most of their existence, leading to the explosive Church Committee Congressional hearings, exposing that the CIA and FBI were involved in covert mind control experiments, illegal coups and science fiction-style assassination programs, and violent infiltration of political opposition groups on U.S. soil. You can learn more about that in our recent episode on the Church Committee Report – in the show notes. Listen to Part I now. Part II will be out this Thursday as Gaslit Nation's Bonus Show, with a continued discussion of the women who worked with Epstein, and what they may reveal about the Iron Triangles that illegally helped bring a Russian asset/traitor to power. To listen to this week's bonus show, be sure to subscribe at Patreon.com/Gaslit at the Truth-teller ($5/month) or higher – discounted annual subscriptions are available, and you can give the gift of membership. Thank you to everyone who supports the show – we could not make Gaslit Nation without you. Show Notes: Opening song: Unreal by Jizzy Cream.
