The government fails at a lot of things — but one thing it does remarkably well is hiding the truth from the American people.

The Jeffrey Epstein case is the prime example. Both parties have played a role in burying the facts. While the government can’t completely silence the so-called “conspiracies,” it has done a disturbingly effective job at keeping the full truth hidden.

The Biden administration has allowed the cover-up to continue — and the Trump administration was no better. Neither side is innocent. And at this point, the truth may never fully come out.

Even worse, the American people have lost something far greater: trust in their government.

This isn’t the only case that’s destroyed public faith. Look at the Russia collusion hoax, where the now-discredited Steele dossier was used to spy on the Trump campaign. Now, the very people behind it — former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan — are facing potential criminal investigations.

As always, we call out the lies, challenge the narrative, and bring you the truth the media won’t touch.

This week’s episode dives deep into the most controversial topic in America right now: the Big Beautiful Bill.

Everyone’s weighing in — Elon Musk, Democrats, mainstream media, even some conservatives — and the outrage is loud. But let’s be honest: a lot of that outrage is misleading.

While critics scream about the deficit and benefit cuts, they conveniently ignore the real drivers — like tax cuts — and completely downplay the massive revenue this bill is bringing in through tariffs. We break it all down, expose the spin, and give you our honest take.

We also talk about a major political upset: Zohran Mamdani just defeated Andrew Cuomo in the NYC Democratic mayoral primary. We dive into Mamdani’s radical platform, what it means for the future of New York, and how it fits into the broader shift happening in U.S. politics.

As always, we call out hypocrisy, cut through the noise, and give you real talk on the biggest stories in America.

It should come as no surprise that the WNBA is once again pushing a woke narrative. The league, which continues to struggle with ratings, revenue, and relevance, added another bizarre moment this week. During a broadcast, Rebecca Lobo said the phrase “that’s what makes America great” — only to pause in silence, then awkwardly apologize. When patriotism is controversial, you know things are off the rails. For a league lacking talent, star power, and fan interest, it might be time to focus less on politics and more on the game — before they go broke.

Meanwhile, the United States carried out major airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. While both sides debate the extent of the damage, the consensus is clear: Iran’s nuclear ambitions took a serious hit. A ceasefire between Iran and Israel has since taken effect, and if it holds, it could be a defining foreign policy win for the Trump administration. President Trump also made headlines at the NATO Summit in the Netherlands, where he was praised by Secretary General Mark Rutte for pushing member nations to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP.

The LA riots aren’t what the media says they are. Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and the left are spinning the narrative to blame Trump — and we’re not buying it.

This episode breaks down the gaslighting campaign, what’s really happening in LA, and how legacy media weaponizes chaos.

This week marks 5 years since the death of George Floyd — an event that shook the nation and sparked months of protests and unrest. In this episode, we revisit the incident in full, including real-time reactions to the most revealing and difficult moments from the police body cam footage.

We believe law enforcement has a responsibility to preserve life, and the force used after Floyd became unresponsive was clearly excessive. But the media’s framing of this tragedy was deeply misleading from the start.

Before the full footage was ever released, the public was fed selectively edited clips that pushed a narrative centered entirely on race — a narrative that still shapes how people remember the case.

Our conclusion: The truth got lost in the narrative. And the media played a much bigger role than most are willing to admit.

Far gone are the days of integrity in journalism. The motto of today’s media landscape might as well be: “Don’t believe your lying eyes and ears.”

The health cover-up surrounding Joe Biden is the latest and clearest example. For years—since at least 2019—conservatives, doctors, and political commentators have raised serious concerns about Biden’s mental acuity. We were dismissed. Mocked. Called conspiracy theorists. Donald Trump was ridiculed for calling him “Sleepy Joe,” and critics constantly tried to equate Trump’s energy with Biden’s visible decline.

Now, we have a supposed cancer diagnosis. And suddenly, the narrative shifts—but not in the way you’d expect. According to medical experts, a cancer of this severity would take years—possibly a decade—to develop. The idea that the President’s elite medical team was unaware until now? That’s nearly impossible. The timing is even more suspect: this announcement lands right as Biden reemerges after months of near silence, facing backlash over the Robert Hur tapes and new revelations from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book, "Original Sin."

And it's not just Biden. Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver has been charged with two counts of assault after a chaotic scene at Delaney Hall, an ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. The video is crystal clear—but she’s denying all allegations. Once again, we’re told not to trust what we can plainly see and hear.

Whether it’s Biden’s health or political stunts at detention facilities, one theme is consistent: the media and the political elite think they can rewrite reality in real time. But the American people aren’t blind. And we’re done pretending not to see what’s right in front of us.

In this week’s episode of The Elliot Omanson Show, we break down the GOP’s newly proposed “One Big, Beautiful Bill” — and challenge the media’s narrative around it. Our focus is on the controversial Medicaid changes and spending cuts, with a take you won’t hear on most mainstream media.

We also unpack President Trump’s latest executive order aimed at lowering prescription drug prices through a “most-favored-nation” pricing model — a move that aligns U.S. costs with what other developed countries pay. Ironically, it's a policy many Democrats once supported… until Trump signed it.

Lastly, we cover the breakthrough U.S.–China trade talks in Geneva, where both countries agreed to drop tariffs by a staggering 115%. U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods drop to 30%, while China slashes its tariffs to just 10%. Markets surged on the news, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 posting strong gains.

With trade momentum building, jobs strong, and inflation cooling — we think the American economy is poised to thrive.

The Trump administration has unveiled a bold new policy: offering $1,000 to illegal immigrants who voluntarily self-deport through the CBP Home app. Officials estimate this could cut deportation costs by as much as 70%.

In international news, Mark Carney has officially taken office as Prime Minister of Canada after his recent election victory. His first major move? A visit to Washington, D.C. On Tuesday, Carney and President Trump held a joint press conference at the White House. While Trump doubled down on tariffs and even floated the idea of Canada becoming the 51st U.S. state, Carney quickly shut that down, stating, “Canada will never be for sale.”

Finally, we look at China’s economic struggles under the weight of U.S. tariffs. With a 145% tariff still in place, President Trump has hinted at possible trade negotiations with China this weekend — and even suggested that some tariffs might be reduced.
