"tapp" Into The Truth

From the Feb, 26th Rumble Live Stream!Dugan Bridges was unable to join us, but I am leaving the links to his work in case you would like to check it out.The gunfight at Blackwater Draw made Billy Bonney infamous, but a single newspaper helped decide how he would be remembered. Long before radio, television, or social media, legal labels like outlaw, lawman, and criminal were often assigned after the fact by those with the power to tell the story. Filmmaker Dugan Bridges investigates how power, corruption, and competing narratives shaped the story of Billy Bonney, revealing how journalism can expose injustice — or just as easily entrench it. In Dugan Bridges' new documentary, Blackwater Draw: The Making of Billy the Kid, Bridges examines how journalism shapes the first draft of history and how truth can be left behind when reporting hardens into legend. Dugan Bridges joins me to discuss Blackwater Draw and the themes that are just as timely today as they were for Billy the Kid.The situation in Iran continues t

Since the late months of 2025 until mid-February of 2026, several hospitals and clinics have ended their programs they call "gender-affirming care" for minors. (I refer to them as chemical castrations and surgical mutilations.) A definitive number is difficult to verify, as many have done so quietly, so the news is trickling out slowly. Some of the facilities began closing shop after the Trump administration threatened to withhold Medicare and Medicaid funding if they continued, but the pace of closings accelerated when Rowan Varian won a landmark $2 million+ medical malpractice lawsuit in early 2026. This has angered many on the political left and has even led a San Diego Superior Court judge to order Rady's Children's Health to cancel its plan to end the practice, at least temporarily, in the name of "the children." Dr. Kim Metcalfe, professor of Early Childhood Education and Psychology, author of Let's Build Extraordinary Youth Together, Big Lie: Gender Identity Ideology, and the soon-to-be-released Gender

Later today, President Trump will deliver his first State of the Union address of his second term. We will discuss the fireworks later this week, so let's look at some other news stories.In Tennessee, a new bill from state Rep. Jody Barrett and Senator Mark Pody says that unborn children are entitled to equal protection under the 14th Amendment and that all laws protecting life in the state should apply to them. The bill would punish anyone involved in taking the life of an unborn child, including the person who provided the pills and the woman who took the pills with the intention of ending the life of her unborn child.A snowball-throwing mob was caught on video pelting New York City Police Department officers in Manhattan's Washington Square Park, and multiple officers were injured as a result. Mayor Zohran Mamdani has downplayed the incident as "kids having a snowball fight."Anna Marie Crocker, a former teacher's aide in Wisconsin, has been sentenced to 51.5 years in prison and 32 years of extended supervi

In a highly anticipated SCOTUS decision, one with significant impact on the Trump presidency and foreign relations. The Supreme Court issued its decision in the cases of Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump and Trump v. V.O.S. Selections, Inc., holding that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not authorize the president to impose the tariffs. The Crazy Cajun Doug brought in Amber May as a surprise guest. The search for Nancy Guthrie has entered its third week with no suspects identified. A glove containing DNA evidence that was recovered roughly 2 miles from Guthrie's home appears consistent with a glove worn by a person seen in a doorbell camera video from the morning she disappeared. Her family, including Savannah Guthrie, has made emotional public appeals as the reward for information has climbed to $100,000. Sgt. Marlon Marrache, a decorated 24-year veteran officer with the LAPD, joins me to discuss the latest breaking news in the case.A Philadelphia School District drew some unwante

From the 2/19/2026 Rumble Live Stream!The extraordinary U.S. military buildup in the Middle East points to a likely warlike action against Iran. What's the objective, and what does "success" look like? USMC Colonel William "Burner" Dunn (Ret.), highly decorated attack helicopter pilot with extensive combat experience and the author of Gunfighters Rule! joins me to discuss his thoughts and expectations.What we're witnessing in anti-ICE demonstrations across the country increasingly resembles something beyond political protest. From physical interference with law enforcement to performative outrage amplified by celebrities and social media, today's activism often looks less like civil dissent and more like group-driven emotional escalation. Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist, bestselling author, and the host of both Dr. Carole's Couch and The Terrorist Therapist Podcast, joins me to discuss the phenomenon and the risks of allowing it to continue.Col.

It's been more than a week since the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" host Savannah Guthrie, and authorities have finally confirmed a suspect in the case. In a social media post on Feb. 12, the FBI called Nancy Guthrie's case a "kidnapping" and released photos of a black backpack and a person the agency described as a male about "5'9" - 5'10" tall, with an average build. Nils Grevillius, a Los Angeles-based private detective known for conducting investigations without regard to local or national borders and for delivering factual information, joins me to discuss the latest developments in the case.The Legacy Media has declared war against "Melania," the new documentary chronicling Melania Trump's return to the White House in 2025.

A decision by Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Tracy Davis in Kentucky is sparking outrage in Louisville for imposing a sentence far lower than the one a jury had recommended.Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https:

The House Energy and Commerce Committee will hold a healthcare affordability hearing on Thursday, February 12, focused on the pharmaceutical supply chain, even as drugmakers raised prices on nearly 1,000 prescription drugs this January, and pharmaceutical CEOs are not expected to testify. Why is Big Pharma's "patient-last" playbook continuing despite the recent White House deals? What do lawmakers risk overlooking if drug manufacturers are not at the witness table? As lawmakers revisit the topic of affordability, it's critical they remember that lowering Big Pharma's drug prices and enacting a Most-Favored-Nation drug pricing policy are top healthcare policy priorities for the administration – and for Americans in general. J.D. Hayworth, a former member of the House Ways and Means Committee and now spokesperson for the Pharmaceutical Reform Alliance, joins me to share his insights.Tom Homan has brought a new spirit of cooperation and "work smarter, not harder" to immigration law enforcement in Minnesota. The

Republicans have been pushing for passage of the SAVE Act, which would require voters to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections and then again as they show up to vote. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats will "go all out" to defeat the legislation he called "despicable." But CNN is forced to face the truth. Voter ID is not controversial in this country. A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party, and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo ID to be able to vote.The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the world's largest organization of plastic surgeons, left no uncertainty about its position when it became the first major medical association to strongly disavow child sex-rejection surgeries.Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been under harsh scrutiny from critics and citizens of NYC as images and videos have surfaced o

Illegal immigrant Jose Ibarra was found guilty in 2024 of the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, but now, a judge heard oral arguments from Ibarra’s attorneys claiming that their client suffers from a “congenital deficiency” that could make him “incapable of preparing a defense and standing trial.” They also contend he lacked the mental capacity to knowingly waive his right to a trial by jury.In a moment when ICE agents are branded fascists, law enforcement is vilified, and political violence is routinely excused as "understandable," America is confronting a dangerous truth: the tactics once associated with foreign extremist movements are now being normalized at home. After a radical left-wing protester is killed in a lawful confrontation with federal agents, the Left demands ICE be dismantled. When an illegal alien rapes and murders an American woman, those same voices double down on open-border policies that enabled the crime. Democrats insist borders matter absolutely in Ukraine—but ridicule Do

From the January 29th, 2026, Rumble live stream.New York Times bestselling author Charles Goyette says that the Deep State, the executive arm of Global American Military Empire, has been gaslighting the people into one phony war after another... Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine... for far too long. In his book Empire of Lies: Fragments from the Memory Hole, Goyette delivers a take-no-prisoners account of personalities and political deceit, false flags and fake news, coups and Cold Wars, and inconceivable blunders. Going beyond policy, revealing the dark role a strange psychological malady, COMBAT ENVY, plays in the lies warmongering public figures tell. Charles Goyette joins me to discuss the dark truths revealed in Empire of Lies.George Soros is 96 years old, but the damage he has done to America and around the world is guaranteed to continue through the organizations he built and through his placing his son, Alexander, in control of those organizations to keep them on the course he has set.

Ilhan Omar of Minnesota was sprayed with a liquid while calling for the impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Many on social media immediately began to question the circumstances surrounding the incident, and many suggested that the congresswoman had staged the attack to elicit sympathy.Ilhan Omar has, in recent years, been accused of immigration-related fraud and is facing scrutiny over her finances, with some officials wondering how her net worth apparently surged so much over such a short period of time. While the liberal media have characterized the government's recent interest in Omar's finances as a partisan vendetta, sources familiar with the matter told the New York Times that the Biden Justice Department similarly felt the need to take a look at the Somali-born representative's finances, campaign spending, and interactions with a foreign citizen. After speaking with Donald Trump by phone on Monday and meeting with border czar Tom Homan on Tuesday, Jacob Frey said Minne

With Operation Metro Surge continuing and activists being taken into custody and charged with conspiracy to deprive rights for disrupting a church service, the struggle between law and order and open insurrection in Minnesota goes on with little signs of ending soon. Michael A.

Despite the best efforts of the New York Post and many other conservative news and talk outlets to inform the public about the actions of Abdimahat Bille Mohamed and the failings of the judicial system regarding those actions, the political left continues to ignore, dodge, or redirect rather than admit the true root of the problem. As Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey continue to pour gasoline on the already volatile situation on their streets, the question becomes: Should Donald Trump stop threatening and go ahead and invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 to restore order? George Sinzer, host of Fire Fox News Online, joins me to discuss these topics and more if time allows.When Iranian airspace closed this past Wednesday night, it seemed like an American attack was imminent.

For months, the U.S. military had been amassing a presence off Venezuela's coast and conspicuously blowing up alleged drug trafficking boats. Last weekend, the United States engaged in a brazen nighttime operation after President Donald Trump gave an order authorizing the capture of authoritarian dictator Nicolás Maduro. The U.S. plunged Venezuela's capital into darkness, infiltrated Maduro's home, and whisked him to the United States, where the Trump administration is set to put him on trial. Col. William "Burner" Dunn, retired Marine Corps combat veteran, attack helicopter pilot,  President of Strategic Resilience Group, LLC., and author of Gunfighters Rule!, joins me to discuss the military logistics, the constitutionality of the Maduro capture, and more.Protests have broken out in Iran, sparked by severe economic hardship, particularly the falling currency.

From multiple pardons issued on inauguration day by both the outgoing and the incoming Presidents to the exposure of billions of dollars in fraud in Minnesota, and everything in between (and there was a lot), 2025 was undoubtedly a year full of news stories that put a spotlight on the current divide among the American people.
