Measles is back in South Carolina—and it didn’t happen by accident. In this episode, Rick Wilson lays out why RFK Jr. may be the most dangerous member of Trump’s cabinet: a powerful megaphone for anti-vaccine propaganda that is eroding public trust in science and reopening the door to diseases America already defeated. As vaccination rates fall, outbreaks of measles, mumps, rubella, and even polio are no longer theoretical—they’re imminent. This isn’t “debate,” it’s policy failure driven by cons...

In this explosive episode, Rick Wilson rips the lid off the DOJ’s choking, years-long effort to bury the Epstein files—those blacked-out, shredded, quietly “misplaced” documents that just happen to shield some of the most powerful men in America. We dig into the redactions, the vanishing evidence, the political pressure, and the revolving-door protectors who ensured Epstein’s network stayed insulated long after his death. From sealed names to missing logs to the institutional panic radiating thr...

While Donald Trump’s Great Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago made headlines for its gold-plated excess, millions of Americans are struggling to pay rent and buy groceries. As the nation faces rising prices, budget cuts, and shrinking safety nets, Trump’s luxury pageantry couldn’t feel more out of touch. Rick Wilson unpacks how Trump’s detachment from economic reality, his austerity policies, and his performative cruelty have deepened America’s empathy crisis. in the Lincoln Square community on Substack...

Donald Trump has literally torn down a piece of America to build himself a dance floor. In this week’s Rick Wilson's The Enemies List Podcast, Rick skewers the Trump East Wing demolition 2025, a $300 million White House ballroom project that turned history into dust and proved—once again—that the worst president in history can’t resist wrecking anything he touches. From bulldozing the People’s House to funding a gilded shrine to his own ego, Trump’s final renovation stunt shows how power, greed,...

This week, Rick Wilson dives into one of the ugliest political scandals in years — the Young Republican National Federation group chat that revealed a cesspool of hate, racism, and wannabe authoritarian cosplay. In thousands of leaked messages obtained by Politico , state-level GOP leaders joked about gas chambers, Hitler, slavery, and rape -- and revealed the moral rot at the core of a generation raised on grievance politics and Fox News. These aren’t fringe trolls — these are elected aides, ca...

Trump shut down the government, then tried to hand Democrats the bill like a drunk guy bailing on dinner. Spoiler: nobody’s buying it. Meanwhile, Pete Hegseth waddled into Quantico expecting a standing ovation and got the sound of crickets filing a noise complaint. Two disasters, one week — and Rick’s got the receipts. About The Enemies List: American democracy is being threatened, and Rick Wilson knows exactly who is responsible. In each episode, Rick calls out those who are the enemies of demo...

This week’s bombshell: the DOJ, under Trump’s direction, indicted James Comey—a former FBI director long critical of Trump—for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing oversight. To get it done, Trump purged the existing U.S. Attorney in Virginia and elevated Lindsey Halligan, a political operative turned prosecutor overnight. Within minutes of the indictment, Comey’s son-in-law—then serving as a national security prosecutor in the same office—resigned, citing his oath to the Constitution. Tr...

Rick Wilson dives into the chaos of 2025 with an explosive episode covering Kash Patel’s congressional meltdown over the Epstein files and Trump’s installation of FCC Chair Brendan Carr. Patel screamed at Republicans and Democrats alike, exposing the dysfunction of congressional hearings, while Carr begins reshaping America’s media landscape, threatening free speech and expanding state-run media influence. Join Wilson as he dissects Trump’s FCC takeover, Patel’s public breakdown, and what it all...

RFK Jr., the brain-wormed anti-vaxxer inexplicably running America’s Department of Health and Human Services, is proof that irony is alive and well. Charged with protecting public health, he’s busy undoing lifesaving mRNA vaccine programs and replacing science with YouTube-level quackery. It’s like hiring a flat-earther to run NASA—except this time the stakes are your health, your kids, and the future of medicine.

The Smithsonian is under siege. Trump’s latest order demands that our nation’s museums sanitize slavery, sugarcoat oppression, and serve up propaganda in place of truth.

This week on The Enemies List, Rick Wilson delivers a double-barreled blast at two dangerous actors inside Trump’s orbit. First up: Steve Witkoff, Trump’s real “acting” Secretary of State, who bumbled his way into a private summit with Vladimir Putin and handed the Russian dictator a propaganda victory. From legitimizing a war criminal to floating a “peace deal” that rewards Russia’s invasion by carving up Ukraine, Witkoff’s incompetence is a masterclass in diplomatic disaster. Rick breaks down ...

This week on The Enemies List, Rick Wilson zeroes in on Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s latest authoritarian stunt: a blatantly corrupt redistricting power grab that aims to rig the 2026 election before a single vote is cast. As Texas Democrats flee the state to block quorum, Abbott threatens arrests and removals—desperate moves from a party that knows it can’t win fairly. Rick pulls no punches, calling out the apartheid-style gerrymandering, the legal thuggery, and the spineless MAGA loyalty behin...

PART I The guy who is eternally on the Enemies List, the 45th and 47th president -- aka Vladdy's Boy, aka Don the Con, aka F*ckboi Von Clownface -- is getting an extra special mention this week. Every week, there are a million reasons to nominate Trump the Chump, but this week, Trump revealed his pathetic nature for all of MAGA to bear witness. First, let us tee this up. Virginia Guiffre -- who was a survivor of Epstein, Maxwell, Prince Andrew, and others -- was critical to getting justice for t...

"The idea should be very clear: Trump is going after the media to suppress coverage of the cover-up." The media is becoming complicit in the greatest cover-up in the history of American politics. The Epstein story isn't going away, no matter how hard Trump tries to make it disappear. But now that effort by Trump is pushing our media into a dark place that it may never return from. If American media outlets don't stand up – and make no mistake, so far they aren't – the loss to our Democracy could...

Rick's back to take your questions. You won't be surprised to learn that we got a ton of questions about the Epstein files. In fact, this story is becoming so primary, so massive, that even if a question isn't about the Epstein files, it's still about the Epstein files. Example? William asks about the Supreme Court's shift toward authoritarianism. That might not sound like a question regarding Trump's involvement with Epstein, but let's say he's on that list (he is). Who is going to hold him acc...

Elon Musk jumping into the third-party game? Buckle up. Building a party from scratch is a brutal, Kafkaesque nightmare, and the duopoly hates it. Yeah, he’s got money—big money—but money alone won’t save him from the legal jungle and political vultures circling. If Musk does this right, it could seriously screw up the GOP and maybe mess with the Dems too. If he does it wrong? Well, he’ll just flush a fortune down the drain with a bunch of clowns running around. Learn more about your ad choices....

Voters don’t vote on policy — they vote on emotion. Republicans run on pure id, the constant, persistent craving for lizard-brain emotions that keep them engaged and enraged enough to act. And Democrats? Well...they lecture. One side is a fireworks display, and the other...a PowerPoint presentation.

In this week’s Enemies List, Rick Wilson takes no prisoners as he tears into Kristi Noem—MAGA’s “Ice Barbie” and Trump’s loyal mouthpiece. From her shameful 72-hour delay in sending FEMA aid during the Texas floods to her relentless lies defending ICE’s brutal immigration raids, Noem embodies the cruelty and corruption at the heart of this administration. Rick exposes how she’s transformed from a conservative politician into a shameless propagandist willing to say and do anything to stay in Trum...

It would take us a thousand years to get through all of your questions. Thank you for bringing the heat! This week, there were a few themes, though. Lots of you were curious about Rick's take on Mamdani (it's not what you might imagine). Even more of you pledged your hatred of the MAGA Murder Budget Bill and wondered if there was still time to fight back. And we got more than a few questions asking Rick to look into his crystal ball, which he was more than happy to do. All that and more on this ...

Last week, Pete Hegseth argued that the real danger to our military lies in criticism from the press or skepticism about military campaigns. He’s wrong. The real danger to our military is leadership that rewards dishonesty, punishes accountability, and erodes the chain of trust that holds the armed forces together. Pete Hegseth is unqualified. Pete Hegseth is a liar. Pete Hegseth is a national security risk. And he’s found a forever-home on the Enemies List. Learn more about your ad choices. Vis...

"This is the new free press—without corporate masters, without super PACs." Rick takes your questions on this episode of the Enemies List, and you had some doozies.

The B-2 strike on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility was a show of unmatched precision and power—but the rush to celebrate masks a dangerous truth. Triumphalism, especially from Trump’s political base, treats the attack as an end rather than a beginning. But Iran has built its legacy on asymmetric warfare, and tonight’s strike may have opened a long, uncertain chapter rather than closed one. This isn’t just about a bomb dropped—it’s about what comes next. Iran doesn’t need nukes to retaliate; it nee...

Political violence doesn’t emerge in a vacuum — MAGA has built a system of terror out of manufactured rage and conspiracy. The assassinations and attempted assassinations in Minnesota over the weekend are the logical result of this effort. Fox News, Facebook, and Twitter are the hypodermic needles injecting the MAGA base with vile hatred, allowing them to see anyone who disagrees with them not as adversaries, but as existential threats—pedophiles, communists, invaders, subhumans. These stories a...

Trump's invasion of Los Angeles isn’t about immigration—it’s about power, manipulation, and preparing you for a crackdown. WE are the real targets. The Trumps, the Millers, the Bondis, the Patels, they are praying for violence to legitimize a massive military escalation. Fox News, Twitter, and Facebook are deeply complicit.

Stephen Miller is a familiar face on the Enemies List, but over the weekend, the stakes ramped up to a million. He isn’t just a policy advisor—he’s the mastermind behind the deliberately cruel strategy to provoke unrest and justify state violence. This incursion into the streets of Los Angeles with the ICE raids isn't LIKE a Nazi tacting. It IS on: provoke resistance, claim victimhood, then strike harder. It’s not about law enforcement—it’s about staging a spectacle of repression that delights t...

This may get some blowback, but it has to be said: This week's entry to the Enemies List are those Democratic consultants who spend millions of dollars talking at men. The crisis facing the Democratic Party isn’t just about policy—it’s about perception, narrative, and emotional connection. MAGA gives disaffected men a sense of belonging, identity, and power. Democrats give them slide decks. The party's elite consultants are disastrously out of step with the people they absolutely must reach if t...
