Coach Bill Courtney says “Undefeated”, the Oscar-winning documentary about his career as a high school football coach in inner-city Memphis, is not about wins and losses on a football field. “It’s about not allowing yourself to be a victim, not allowing yourself to be defeated by your circumstances,” he says.

Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes raises concern with U.S. security failures from the domestic to international level. “That’s what worries me most about the future of this country is people don’t trust the system. They don’t trust the government. And that’s a big, big problem,” he says.

Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes doubts the Department of Justice will investigate Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg for censoring content related to COVID and the Hunter Biden laptop story on behalf of the Biden administration. “It’s what you and I have known all along,” Nunes tells John Solomon. “That this guy was involved in kicking people off platforms, censoring, and everything else.”

Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes touts his social media platform’s growth in active users and audience engagement. Nunes also announces the rollout of Truth+, a separate app featuring video-on-demand services.

Carl Szabo, Vice President and General Counsel for NetChoice, says Mark Zuckerberg’s letter to the House Judiciary Committee admitting the Biden administration pressured his company to censor content should revitalize efforts to pass the Protect Speech from Government Interference Act. “What this should be is a wake-up call for all of Congress to recognize we don’t want any administration, left, right, or center, censoring Americans’ free speech,” he says.

Dr. Sebastian Gorka, host of “America First with Sebastian Gorka,” compares the modern Democratic Party is like a “tribe” that would vote for anyone represented by a “D.” “It's a cult. It's the Borg from Star Trek. They would vote for a sack of potatoes if it had the letter 'D' on it,” he says. “That’s basically what they did in 2020. So this election, like all elections, is going to be won in the middle.”

Dr. Sebastian Gorka, host of “America First with Sebastian Gorka,” says Vice President Kamala uses running mate Tim Walz to dilute the challenge of speaking off the cuff with the press. “This woman was a prosecutor. She put people in prison. She was the attorney general of California and she can’t speak extemporaneously for 18 seconds, but she wants to be in command of our nuclear weapons? She’s just not fit for primetime,” he says.

Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson says powerful interest groups in the Democratic Party won’t work with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. because of his outspoken advocacy against the pharmaceutical industry. “He knows the names of the people at [the] CDC that he believes are involved in corruption. He’s a lawyer who has litigated vaccine injury cases and autism cases against the government and won them. He knows a lot and they can’t really afford to have him out there,” she says.

Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson says independent researchers validated drugs like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin as effective for COVID treatment. Attkisson says her research uncovered that those who advised against these drugs were funded by pharmaceutical companies that produced therapies like Remdesivir.

Investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson’s says the FDA is consulting with and prioritizing the pharmaceutical industry’s interests over the consumers. “It’s tough because those who could change this formula are also likewise conflicted by the donations from the big drug companies, meaning our political parties both Democrats and Republicans,” she says.

Article III Project Founder and President Mike Davis breaks down the next steps for Special counsel Jack Smith’s new superseding indictment against Donald Trump. Davis says he doesn’t expect the trial to take place before the election and advises the former president to open a probe into Smith’s “obvious criminal conspiracy to violate President Trump’s constitutional rights" if elected in November.

Article III Project Founder and President Mike Davis says Special Counsel Jack Smith knows his new superseding indictment against former President Donald Trump won’t be tried before the November election. “His goal is to have an evidentiary hearing, a mini-trial, in front of D.C.-Obama Judge Tanya Chutkan before the election on presidential immunity to try to interfere in the election,” he says.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) says Vice President Kamala Harris will be a strong advocate for the green energy movement if elected president in November. Sen. Markey says the Biden-Harris administration's building of only 10 out of the 500,000 electric vehicle chargers promised in the Inflation Reduction Act is due to logistics and infrastructure, not Harris’ leadership. “By the time she is being sworn in on January 20 of 2029, all those chargers will be installed in our country and the all-electric vehicle revolution will be irreversibly on its way,” he says.

U.S. Oil and Gas President Tim Stewart explains how Vice President Kamala Harris’ proposed 25% tax on unrealized capital gains will negatively impact the energy industry. “80% of all the new oil and gas brought on line in the United States is brought on by small, independent companies,” he says. “And the unrealized capital gains tax that the Harris campaign floated last week, that is going to create a liquidity nightmare for my industry."

Mark Schmitz, father of late Marine Corps Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, says Donald Trump has been very accommodating to the families of the 13 soldiers who died during the Afghanistan withdrawal. Schmitz commends the former president for recognizing the importance of laying a wreath at Arlington National Cemetary today.

Mark Schmitz, father of late Marine Corps Lance Corporal Jared Schmitz, slams President Joe Biden for refusing to take responsibility for the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. “Kamala Harris, she’s just as much to blame for this as well,” he says. “If she’s going to sit there and tote how she’s the last one in the room with Biden and supports his decisions, then she owns this blunder just as much as he does.”

Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH) says our Bill of Rights is not a grant of rights but a limitation of government to take away our God-given rights, like free speech. “The reality is, most governments around the world aren’t good governments. They don’t defend freedom. They limit it,” he says. “And you look at the European Union sending threats to Elon Musk for having a televised interview with Donald Trump, how crazy is that. And now the CEO of a messaging platform, Telegram, lands his plane in France and he’s detained, he’s in jail right now because he’s allowing people to speak.”

Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH) explains how the America First movement believes the United States is stronger when our military is combat-ready and ready to intervene in areas connected to our country’s interests. “There is, as scripture says, a time for war and that’s why we have a military. But we don’t have to accept every invitation to war. We’re not made stronger for it,” he says.

Representative Warren Davidson (R-OH) condemns the Biden administration’s response to the disastrous 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. “This administration came up with a disastrous plan, they’ve held no one to account for coming up with the disastrous plan, and instead they’ve tried to spin it as a great success,” he says.

Representative Glenn Grothman (R-WI) says Vice President Kamala Harris is running a presidential campaign focused on negativity and smearing former President Donald Trump. “It’s always illuminating when you tear away the screen and look at what politicians’ own staffers have to say about them. And I'll tell you, it’s not very joyful working Kamala Harris’ office,” he says.

Representative Glenn Grothman (R-WI) says Vice President Kamala Harris will be cornered into debating former President Donald Trump because she’s “hidden so much from the public.” “We now know what Joe Biden was hiding, that he had early dementia. But what is Kamala Harris hiding? We think she’s hiding the fact that there are a lot of questions she doesn’t want to answer,” he says.
