our live nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively here

0:26.2

on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube. Tonight, former national security advisor,

0:31.2

John Bolton, was indicted by a grand jury today in Maryland on 18 felony counts of

1:49.3

to help whitewash the regime in exchange for Saudi cash. Is that moral indignation valid?
