Keeping It Real: Conversations with Jillian Michaels

Midterm elections 2026: Obama’s El-Sayed problem, the billionaire money behind Talarico, and the ActBlue scandal nobody will answer for.

Weeks before the midterm elections, Barack Obama is campaigning to put Abdul El-Sayed in the U.S. Senate, a man his own administration treated as a security risk. The ActBlue CEO was asked under oath how an 88 year old with no internet donated $150,000 to Democrats, and gave the same answer 22 times. Van Jones, Stephen A. Smith, and a two time cancer survivor finish the job before Michigan votes.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Abdul El-Sayed Israel position: Jewish Democrats in Michigan want one sentence from him. Van Jones reveals why he can’t say it.
Barack Obama campaigns for El-Sayed: The clip that didn’t age well, and what the Obama administration once did to El-Sayed’s own family.
Black voters and reparations: Devere Darkens on why Democrats keep promising it, and the budget line that proves they never planned to pay.
Open borders and the Black vote: The numbers in the classrooms and emergency rooms, and who’s paying for it.
Talarico and El-Sayed PAC money: New York and California billionaires, a Soros family fundraiser, and a PAC you’ve never heard of. Follow every dollar.
ActBlue CEO and the $150,000 grandmother: A reporter finds her in rural Michigan. What she says on camera breaks the whole story open.
Medicare for All and Canada: One in ten Canadians waits more than 48 hours for a bed. That’s the good news.
Why a bone cancer survivor left the Democrats: One debate stage moment, and ten years without insurance.
Epstein files under Biden: Four years, zero emails. Stephen A. Smith asks the question that ends the midterm argument.
FRIDAY: Mike Rogers, El-Sayed’s Republican opponent in the Michigan Senate race, sits down for the hard questions.

Nate Friedman walked into the protests, the migrant shelters, and the neighborhoods the media won’t show you, and came back with footage that gets him banned, threatened and followed. Now he’s telling Jillian Michaels who’s paying for it, who's profiting off it, and why he believes America has less time than anyone thinks.

IN THIS EPISODE:

Paid Protesters: Same faces, every rally. Nate found who signs the checks, and he’s hiding overseas.

Singham and Soros: Two billionaires, one plan, and a DOJ grand jury that just changed the game.

Mamdani’s “White People Tax”: New Yorkers were asked if they’d pay it. Their answer means your city is next.

Socialism, Marxism and the DSA: They swear they aren’t socialists. Nate caught the pitch on camera, and it’s working.

Migrant Crisis Profiteers: Nate followed a van to a CEO and got the cops called on him. You’re paying her salary.

The Bikes: Who’s really at your door? The black market behind every delivery in New York.

Sharia in New York: The call to prayer is already broadcasting. What’s planned next is worse.

Is It Too Late for Europe?: Pedro Sanchez's policies have ravaged Spain, riots continue across France, London, Brussels and Spain, and a one migrant who told Nate exactly how the takeover ends.

Is New York Already Gone and what's next for Michigan, New Jersey, Texas, And Florida?:

And, who really controls what 150 million Americans see on TikTok.

Shane Gillis SNL firestorm, the Cornell 7 "I Am Jane Doe" revolt, and the Katie Zacharia attack that exposed the left three weeks before the midterms.
With the midterms weeks away, the party that built its entire brand on protecting women, minorities, and the oppressed just got caught, on camera, doing the opposite on every single front. Kathy Hochul and Bruce Blakeman clashed in the New York governor debate over illegal immigration, Mamdani, and crime, and one answer from Hochul may have handed Republicans the exact clip they need in November. Social and political commentator Anthony Rispo joins Jillian to break down why the woke moral script is collapsing in real time, from the Shane Gillis SNL monologue to the Cornell 7 case to a France riots solidarity stunt so insane it has to be seen to be believed.
Then, Ziwe sat Hasan Piker down and asked the internet's favorite socialist one question about Karl Marx and his $2.7 million house, and he never recovered. The new White House press secretary Katie Zacharia got hit with an attack the left swore it would never use on a woman. And Dan Levy, Letitia James, Bernie Sanders, and Tucker Carlson all show up, and not one of them comes out clean. Rispo, a Columbia-trained psychologist, lays out the actual science behind why people set themselves on fire for a cause, scream "I am Jane Doe" at strangers, and call a comedian a rapist over a gym joke. If Democrats can't see this pattern, November is going to hurt.

Allegations against Ilham Omar just got WAY WORSE after federal agents raided her home in a criminal fraud investigation, James Talarico vanishes for nine critical days but won’t do the one thing that actually clears his name, and Trump cuts a massive diesel deal with Vladimir Putin that could save the midterms for the GOP.

In a pre-dawn raid, federal agents targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar amid sweeping fraud allegations—spanning tax fraud, perjury, bigamy, and immigration violations. At the center is a 30-year-old paper trail: an obituary, deleted posts, and a marriage license that could unravel her citizenship, trigger denaturalization, and lead to deportation. Omar denies all charges, but what did investigators seize?

Meanwhile, Texas Senate candidate James Talarico disappeared from the trail for nine days, blaming the flu. But with leaked audio, a private jet, and a hospital denying he was ever admitted, one crucial question remains unanswered.

Plus: Donald Trump strikes a multi-million-ton Russian diesel deal, GOP senators push back, Sophie Cunningham faces WNBA backlash, Democratic voter registrations crater, and boil-water advisories spread nationwide.

Nelson from Sentry H2O on boil orders, what’s really in your tap water, and how to protect your health and your home in minutes.

A juror from the O.J. Simpson trial looked into a camera and admitted why she really voted to set him free. Nicole Brown Simpson’s sister Denise Brown says her family knew long before that, and she tells Jillian Michaels about the warning that tipped them off before hand.

Denise was in the room the night O.J. Simpson lifted her sister off the ground by the throat, and she sat in the courtroom while his lawyers tore Nicole apart. Now she tells Jillian what she admits she might have done after the verdict and how she really felt the day O.J. Simpson died. Then Jillian asks the question that has followed Denise since the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson: If she knew then what she knows now… could she have saved her sister? Her new book, For My Sister Nicole: Love Shouldn’t Hurt, is out now.

IN THIS EPISODE:

O.J. Simpson Trial Juror and Rodney King: Jillian plays the O.J. Simpson documentary clip where a juror says why she voted to acquit and how many others did the same. Denise reveals who called her father about it, and what Judge Ito did to the juror who spoke up.
After the O.J. Simpson Verdict: A friend predicted a second murder, and the Orange County sheriff’s department paid a visit to Denise’s parents.
Nicole Brown Simpson and O.J. Simpson, the First Red Flag: He was the most charming man in the room until Denise found Nicole sobbing in a bathroom that same weekend. Nicole’s explanation should have scared her, and Denise admits she didn’t realize how dangerous OJ Was.
Inside the Rockingham House: Denise made one comment over margaritas. Minutes later O.J. Simpson had her sister by the throat, and Denise describes the look on his face and what he did to her next.
Domestic Violence and Emotional Abuse, the Warning Signs: Denise names the one act she calls a precursor to murder, and the threat she says an abuser always ends up keeping.
What Never to Say to Someone in an Abusive Relationship: Denise begged Nicole to do the obvious thing. She says now, why it was all wrong and what she wished she’d done different
Erika Kirk and Grieving in Public: Jillian asks Denise if she went through the tormet that Erika Kirk was put through and what she wants to say to the monsters that torture the family of the deceased.
Nicole Brown Simpson’s Journals: Nicole documented the abuse in her own handwriting. The O.J. Simpson jury never saw a page of it, and Denise explains why.
The Day O.J. Simpson Died: Jillian asks if she felt any relief. Denise answers in four words...
Could Denise Have Saved Nicole?: Jillian asks her point blank. Denise calls her answer the hardest reality she ever came to, and it involves a phone call Nicole made in the final days of her life.
If you or someone you love is in an abusive relationship, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800.799.7233 or visit thehotline.org.
