SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24th, 2026
Ten of today's biggest conservative shows, one scroll: a Fox News Digital alias report on Ilhan Omar keeps rippling across multiple shows, Georgetown's reaction to a Muslim Brotherhood speech draws fire from Ted Cruz, and Eduardo Bolsonaro stops by Louder with Crowder to talk Brazil's runoff.
The Ben Shapiro Show — "The Most Desperate Political Attack You'll See This Election"
Shapiro calls a new documentary about Sen. Lindsey Graham a smear aimed at Graham's sister, who is running for the South Carolina Senate seat. He contrasts the reaction with the outrage over an Ohio ad, then argues fabricated polls have distorted midterm expectations.
Says the film relies on anonymous accusers and that no substantiated reporting emerged earlier.
Frames the story as a ‘collateral attack’ on Graham's sister, Darlene Graham Nordone.
Calls Vivek Ramaswamy's ad targeting Amy Acton's mother ‘dumb’ and ‘immoral’ and says the left's reactions were inconsistent.
Says pollster Wedgewood admitted fabricating polls and SoCal Strategies went offline, skewing averages and prediction markets.
Rates Texas (Talarico vs. Paxton) as roughly a coin flip, with Michigan and Maine competitive.
The Charlie Kirk Show — "How You Can Take the Same Free Courses Charlie Kirk Did"
The host and economist Dr. Charles Steele discuss socialism, dignity, antitrust and AI. Steele argues for free markets and is skeptical of ‘common good’ conservatism and central planning.
Host says the Democratic Socialists of America platform is Marxist and breeds dependence.
Both agree envy is part of human nature, strongest toward wealth seen as unearned or government-privileged.
Steele says a monopoly means restricting output to raise prices, not simply being big, and uses SpaceX as an example.
He disputes the standard story of Teddy Roosevelt's trust-busting and says the Standard Oil breakup hurt consumers.
Host worries AI will let big firms dominate; Steele likens AI to the Luddites' looms and says it could help small practices.
The Dan Bongino Show — "Do Not Fall For It (Ep. 2623)"
A Friday episode centered on the midterms. Bongino urges turnout, cites strong Republican early voting in Florida, covers fraud prosecutions and DOJ/FBI actions, and interviews Brian Kilmeade about his history book.

Verdict with Ted Cruz — "Midterms in the Balance, Georgetown Freaks out at Hearing Evidence of Muslim Brotherhood Terrorism"
With early voting underway, Cruz and co-host Ben Ferguson run through the Senate map, then cover a Georgetown Law student-government backlash to a speech on the Muslim Brotherhood and the Ilhan Omar investigation.
Cruz says 8 to 10 Senate races are within the margin of error.

Kelly and guest Glenn Greenwald discuss reports that Thomas Markle Sr. is under investigation after allegations from his son. They also cover the Ilhan Omar name and citizenship questions. The Markle claims are unproven and denied by Markle Sr.
Thomas Markle Jr. alleges he found abusive material among his father's belongings; Markle Sr. says the computers were out of his possession for years.
Samantha Markle disputes the claims and points to a family feud.
Meghan Markle's statement says a 2018 letter was shared with her and she was assured it was being investigated.
Reportedly the Metropolitan Police told outlets they did not investigate him.
Kelly and Greenwald question what Meghan and others did after learning of the allegations.
Louder with Crowder — "The Polls Are Fake! Feat. Eduardo Bolsonaro Live in Studio"
Crowder argues pollsters now shape opinion instead of measuring it and says early-vote data favors Republicans. The second half is a live interview with Eduardo Bolsonaro about Brazil's runoff between his brother Flávio and Lula.
Claims SoCal Strategies, Wedgewood and Median Strategies were exposed and went dark.
Argues prediction markets like Kalshi are a better gauge than traditional polls.

Eduardo Bolsonaro calls Lula anti-America and China-aligned and calls his father's conviction political persecution.

The Michael Knowles Show — "WHAT? Ilhan Omar Is Apparently NOT The Real Ilhan Omar"
Knowles and guest Andrew Klavan mock a documentary about Lindsey Graham, then discuss a Fox News Digital report alleging Rep. Ilhan Omar used an alias. Knowles admits he has no independent evidence for it.
Calls the Graham documentary unfalsifiable and a hypocrisy play.
Klavan says Trump endorsed his novel Find Me Nowhere on Truth Social.
Fox News Digital, citing federal records, reports Omar's legal name differs from the one she uses; Omar reportedly answered ‘Not to my knowledge’ on a related question.
A former Minnesota immigration judge told Fox proof of an alias could be grounds for removal or deportation.
Both say midterm polls are near the margin of error and distrust the generic-ballot average.
The Matt Walsh Show — "The Reason Why Western Civilization is Collapsing"

Guest says exempting mothers from penalties signals women bear no moral responsibility.
She says consequences would deter abortion and denies this simply criminalizes women.
Stuckey says calling women ‘second victims’ strips them of agency.
