They told you it was about narco-terrorism. They told you it was about justice. They lied. The capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro isn't just a win for the DEA—it is a geopolitical earthquake involving oil, gold, silver, the war on terror, and a battle for global supremacy. In this explosive episode of Keeping It Real, Jillian Michaels sits down with Ex-CIA Covert Ops Officer Mike Baker (host of The President’s Daily Breif) and Constitutional Attorney Josh Hammer to reveal what the mainstream media and partisan pundits aren’t telling you. We strip away the headlines to expose the truth about what’s really going on, why, and what is likely to happen next: 🔥 INSIDE THIS EPISODE: PART 1: THE OPERATION & THE STRATEGY (w/ Mike Baker) The Intel: How the U.S. really pulled off the capture of Maduro (and the message it sends to Cuba and Iran.) Follow the Money: The role of Venezuela’s massive oil and gold reserves in the decision. The Adversaries: How Russia, China, Iran, and Cuba are reacting to losing their key ally in the Western Hemisphere. Checkmate or Chaos? Is this the move that forces Putin and Xi to the negotiating table, or have we just locked ourselves into another "Forever War” in the jungles of South America? PART 2: THE LAW & THE FALLOUT (w/ Josh Hammer) Legal Deep Dive: Did President Trump effectively break international law to get this done? The Precedent: Does this now open the door for China to take Taiwan? The Constitution: Is there any foundation for the domestic legal battles that are about to explode? The Verdict: Is there a loophole that could see Maduro walk free? This conversation goes beyond the "official story." If you want to understand the new rules of global power, you need to watch this.

A tiny country with unlimited money.
A massive footprint inside U.S. politics, media, universities, and national security.
And almost no public accountability.

Investigative journalist Frannie Block (The Free Press) joins me to expose how Qatar quietly became one of the most powerful foreign players inside the United States — outspending nearly every other country outside of Saudi Arabia to shape narratives, policy, and power from the inside out.

We break down how billions of dollars flow through universities, think tanks, lobbying firms, media outlets, journalists and influencers, and former U.S. officials, all while flying under the radar of the American public.  

We cover:
• How Qatar outspent every other foreign nation to buy influence in the U.S.
• Why American universities became a key pipeline for foreign power
• How lobbying, PR firms, and “cultural exchange” mask political influence
• The FARA loopholes that make it all legal
• Why politicians from both parties stay silent
• How media narratives are shaped — and who benefits
• Why this would be a national scandal if China or Russia did it

This episode connects the dots between money, power, ideology, and silence — and asks the uncomfortable question:

Who are the main perpetrators, how are they doing it, AND WHY?

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Tom MacDonald wages war on a “Woke World” and risks it all in the process. The music industry wanted him silenced—instead, he became the biggest independent rapper in the world. From the depths of severe alcoholism and poverty to complete financial freedom, Tom breaks down the brutal cost of telling the truth in a world addicted to lies. He reveals how he dismantles the culture war by rejecting the trap of tribalism entirely—weaponizing the labels cast by the woke left while exposing the cowardice of the “alt right". This episode goes beyond controversy and into the blueprint of building power without permission: owning your masters, controlling your message, and turning rejection into leverage. It’s a blunt look at the price of authenticity, the discipline required to stay sober, and what it really takes to go from rags to riches without selling your soul.

As America approaches a pivotal 2026, leadership matters now more than ever. With key issues like fair trade, strong borders, and economic independence all dominating the President’s agenda, attention has shifted to America’s national security as Trump looks to reshape U.S. relations with China, Ukraine, and the Middle East.

In this all-encompassing conversation, Jillian Michaels and Sean Spicer dissect President Trump’s America First strategy — from securing the border and strengthening the economy to tackling healthcare reform and restoring stability on the global stage. The discussion revisits the defining moments of 2025, highlighting the President’s biggest wins, toughest challenges, and the lessons shaping the year ahead.

Award-winning financial journalist Trish Regan breaks down what the headlines are getting wrong about the U.S. economy. From the latest jobs data to inflation, interest rates, gas prices, wages, AI job displacement, and the growing squeeze on the middle class—this conversation cuts through the spin and explains what the data really means for your money.

We cover why wages “outpacing inflation” doesn’t feel real, how Federal Reserve policy hits regular Americans differently than the wealthy, why housing is out of reach for an entire generation, and how energy prices quietly control the cost of everything you buy. We also dive into AI’s impact on jobs, the future of work, Venezuela and global energy politics, BRICS, the U.S. dollar, and what to expect as we head toward 2026.

If you’re confused, frustrated, or feel like the economy you’re living in doesn’t match what politicians are selling—this episode explains why.

Former Navy Seal, Carl Higbie, host of Front Line on Newsmax, joins Jillian to discuss two tragedies, thousands of miles apart, that have shattered the holiday season. In Australia, a "Hanukkah by the Sea" celebration at Bondi Beach turned into a massacre, leaving 15 unalived in what the Prime Minister is calling a targeted act of antisemitic terrorism. Meanwhile, in the U.S., a mystery gunman remains at large after ki**ing two students at Brown University—despite the campus being a surveillance-heavy "weapon-free zone."

This episode confronts the uncomfortable duality of our times. We analyze the specific threats emerging globally—from the foiled "Christmas Market" plot in Germany to the weapons stockpiles found in London—and dive into the hard data on radicalization that policymakers often ignore. We discuss the FBI's recent intervention in California against the Turtle Island Liberation Front and Governor Abbott's controversial move to label the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR as foreign terrorist organizations.  

Finally, we tackle the theological divide. Why do historians distinguish between "Meccan" and "Medinan" verses in the Quran? What is the Doctrine of Abrogation? And ultimately, when fundamental values clash, is coexistence always possible?

Dr. Drew Pinsky goes scorched earth on what he calls California’s “Homelessness Industrial Complex” - He breaks down exactly how California has built a billion-dollar machine designed to profit from bureaucracy... all while keeping addicts sick, untreated, and abandoned on city sidewalks.  From corrupt NGO’s to dirty politicians and woke ideology - nothing is left unexposed. Then we get into the political brawl between Halle Berry and Gavin Newsom—why the Governor vetoed the ‘Menopause Care Equity Act’ twice, and why denying the life-changing benefits of HRT to men and women in mid-life isn’t just bad politics... it’s a medical travesty.And finally, he tears into the exploding controversy around Kennedy’s decision to remove the Hep B vaccine from the CDC’s childhood vaccine schedule as well as whispered conversations about a potential ‘Black Box Warning’ on COVID shots for our kids and teens.

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, a well-regarded ENT specialist, became one of the most polarizing figures in American medicine after refusing to fall in line during COVID. When her off-label use of ivermectin went public, the backlash was immediate: her hospital suspended her, the medical board came after her, and she was thrust into a national firestorm.

In this episode, she lays out the blueprint she says was used to punish dissenting physicians—how hospital systems, public-health agencies, and industry interests closed ranks to enforce a single narrative. She breaks down the conflicts of interest baked into the modern “medical-industrial complex,” and why she decided to fight rather than fold.

From vaccine-injury cases to mandate battles to the unprecedented wave of medical censorship, Dr. Bowden pulls no punches. She takes aim at the NIH, FDA, major hospital systems, and the Biden administration—exposing what she sees as a system more interested in profit, control, and compliance than patient care.

In this episode, Jillian Michaels sits down with  @TomiLahren  — host of  @TomiLahrenIsFearless  and FOX News / FOX Nation commentator to break down Minnesota’s $1B Somali-run fraud scandal, political fear around scrutinizing nonprofits tied to Ilhan Omar’s orbit, national-security red flags involving overseas kickbacks and alleged Al-Shabab links, the fallout from Dearborn’s “Death to America” chants, Trump’s plan to review visas and green cards from 19 countries, America’s ongoing immigration and assimilation failures, and the blue-city crime crisis that keeps releasing repeat violent offenders back onto the streets. They also dig into the Tennessee special election where Matt Van Eps barely held a district Trump once dominated — and what that warning shot means for the GOP moving forward. This is a blunt, unfiltered conversation about corruption, extremism, public safety, and the political incentives protecting all of it. 

Ben Greenfield breaks down the most advanced longevity, anti-aging, and performance strategies of 2025.  

We cover natural hormone optimization plus TRT/HRT, metabolic upgrades, weight-loss drugs, peptides, stem cells, gene therapy, and plasma exchange — along with science-backed protocols for today’s most popular “biohacks”: HBOT, red light therapy, cold plunge, sauna, glutathione patches, PEMF mats, and more. 

If you want to boost sex drive, hair growth, fat loss, metabolic flexibility, cognitive performance, and actually understand the real science behind extending healthspan and lifespan — this episode is a must-watch
