Todd McMurtry was a lawyer, but he had never practiced defamation law before legacy media outlets demonized 16-year-old Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann for the crime of “smirking” while wearing a Make America Great Again hat. Now, McMurtry has published a book about defamation law—a book he recommends as a kind of “car insurance” for cancel culture.

ICYMI: Hezbollah’s pagers are exploding, injuring thousands of the terrorist organization’s members in Lebanon. Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, may be the organization behind the attack, and it’s turning heads as Hezbollah’s technology continues to combust.

Just 24 hours after a second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton called him a “danger to the country and the world” on MSNBC. When someone on the Left is attacked, it’s because of Trump’s “harmful” rhetoric. But is the same true when Clinton spreads anti-Trump rhetoric on national TV?

What drove the second would-be assassin of Donald Trump to shoot? Bradley Devlin, political editor for The Daily Signal, thinks he, and other wannabe assassins, are motivated by a “delusion of grandeur that they will bend the arc of history in their favor.” He joins Armstrong Williams to discuss.

The former chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party was caught on camera advocating for abortion "all the way to the end" of pregnancy in an undercover recording from last month's Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

John Miller entered the field of journalism in Washington D.C. in the early 1990s. There were only a handful of outlets staffing conservative commentary writers at the time, and Miller says he remembers being frustrated by the liberal bias in the media. “This notion that, you know, a generation ago we used to have objective reporters at The New York Times is nonsense,” Miller, executive director of The College Fix, says. “I mean, they were doing the same thing back then, also pretending they were something they were not. They were putting their finger on the scale constantly when they were covering elections, and candidates, and debates, and Congress, and so forth.” In addition to leading The College Fix, Miller also serves as director of the journalism program at Hillsdale College and is a board member of The Daily Signal. Miller joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what has, and has not, changed in the field of journalism, and how he is actively working to train young conservative journalists.

Despite the unprecedented second assassination attempt on former president and current GOP nominee Donald Trump, legacy media outlets downplay the story. What are they hiding? The would-be assassin, Ryan Routh, is a radical-left, Biden-Harris supporter who has alleged a second Trump presidency would threaten democracy (recognize that from anywhere?)

How did Ryan Routh, the alleged would-be assassin, know Donald Trump’s impromptu travel plans in West Palm Beach? Is there a mole in the Secret Service or Trump’s inner circle?

Dan Bongino, a former U.S. Secret Service agent who served across three presidencies, recounts the time he got creative with security measures to protect then-first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. This clip is from the Republican National Convention in July. Bongino, now a nationally syndicated radio talk-show host and podcaster, told the Daily Signal that “there is no excuse” for the security failures at the first assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in July, and “there should be mass resignations. People should be criminally investigated for what happened here.” Watch the full video here: https://rumble.com/v57bldn-bongino-secret-service-failure-to-protect-trump-merits-criminal-investigati.html

Coming off the heels of the Butler, Pennsylvania, shooting, occurring almost two months to the day from this latest attempt on the former president's life, many are worried about Donald Trump’s safety as we head into November.

Who's to blame for security failures that allowed for the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump? President of The Daily Signal Rob Bluey joins Newsmax's political panel to discuss.

The Daily Signal's Tony Kinnett on Merit Street this morning to discuss the media's failures in covering the second Trump assassination attempt, and potential gaps in secret service coverage.

On Sunday afternoon, Secret Service agents spotted a rifle barrel pointing through a chain link fence bordering Trump International Gold Course in West Palm Beach - where the former President was golfing at the time.

According to the West Palm Beach Sheriff’s office, the security measures in and around the golf course were “lighter” since Donald Trump is not the sitting President.

The United States is threatening to give Ukraine long-range missiles to strike Russian territory. Russian President Vladamir Putin has said that if the U.S. arms the Ukrainians to attack Russian territory this would be crossing a significant red line and vowed retaliation. Is this the right strategic move for the U.S? The Daily Signal’s Jarrett Stepman goes on Newsmax to discuss the implications.

The SPLC Union just voted 90% to oust SPLC CEO Margaret Huang two months after the SPLC laid off about a quarter of its staff.

The threat of another 9/11-type terrorist attack on America “is higher now than it was in the months and years preceding 9/11 for a couple of reasons,” says Robert Greenway, director of the Allison Center for National Security at The Heritage Foundation. Greenway deployed in support of Operation Relentless Pursuit and Operation Enduring Freedom in October 2001 in the war on terrorism. He also served as a senior intelligence officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency, and then on the National Security Council.

It was 23 years ago Wednesday that terrorists hijacked four U.S. commercial airline flights, turned the planes into weapons, crashed them into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania, and in the process killed nearly 3,000 people.

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will meet in person for the first time Tuesday evening as they face off during the ABC presidential debate. Though the second presidential debate of the season for Trump, this will be Harris’ first time going toe to toe with Trump after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race following his disastrous debate performance on June 27. The debate, which begins at 9 p.m. EST, is being held at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center. The candidates have made their dislike for one another very clear in the weeks leading up to the debate, so, will they be able to maintain a sense of decorum and remain focused on policy issues? How will Harris address the high inflation under the Biden administration? And will Trump discuss his position on abortion? Tune into today’s bonus episode of Problematic Women with guest Emily Jashinsky, UnHerd's Washington D.C. Correspondent and host of Undercurrents, as we discuss what to watch for during tonight’s debate.
