In today’s episode of the Philip DeFranco Show, we break down a chaotic mix of foreign policy, domestic unrest, public health controversy, and media power plays shaping Trump’s America in 2026.
We start with Trump’s latest foreign policy bombshells, including escalating rhetoric over Greenland, fallout from Davos 2026 in Switzerland, and growing alarm among U.S. allies at the World Economic Forum. With world leaders openly questioning the stability of the rules-based international order, critics warn Trump’s actions could push global tensions to a breaking point.
Then, we turn to a flashpoint at home: a church protest in Minneapolis that has exploded into a national controversy. After protesters interrupted a church service over an ICE official who also serves as a pastor, the Trump administration is threatening criminal charges — even floating prosecution of journalist Don Lemon, who was on site reporting. We unpack the legal questions, the FACE Act, the role of ICE, and why Don Lemon’s church protest coverage has become a lightning rod.
Next, we dive into mounting concerns over ICE detention deaths, including disturbing allegations from Texas facilities and why 2026 is already on track to surpass previous records — raising serious questions about accountability, immigration enforcement, and civil rights.
On the public health front, we examine lawsuits targeting RFK Jr. over sweeping changes to vaccine guidance as the U.S. risks losing its measles elimination status. We also look at backlash to an RFK Jr.–backed infant vaccine study in Africa, and the ethical firestorm surrounding it.
We continue with RFK Jr.’s controversial new food pyramid, why nutrition experts say it won’t improve public health, and how his push for increased meat and dairy consumption could require massive land use and worsen environmental damage.
Finally, in More News You Need to Know, we cover the high-stakes media war as Netflix revises its all-cash bid for Warner Bros., Paramount refuses to back down, and Trump inserts himself into the merger fight — raising fresh concerns about conflicts of interest, regulation, and political influence over media consolidation.
