On Monday night, back from a trip to the country, Rich unpacks the growing controversy at a major Texas airport where taxpayer-funded, specialized Muslim foot-washing stations are being quietly installed, exposing the dangerous double standards of religious accommodation in public squares. Is it Constitutional? 

Then, the Fake News strikes again as the Iranian regime has launched an aggressive new propaganda blitz, but the real shocker is how the mainstream media cartel is actively acting as a complicit mouthpiece. We pull back the curtain on how corporate networks are laundering hostile foreign narratives and pushing fake news directly to the American public.

Plus, will 18 percent of total US corporate and government personnel be fired and replaced by AI? We dive into the massive threat of mass automation, but pivot to a crucial blueprint for survival: foolproofing careers from AI. We break down the high-paying, automation-resistant sectors, highlighting the human-centric traits, trade skills, and problem-solving abilities that big tech’s algorithms simply cannot replicate.

Afterward, the phone lines light up for Open Phone America as listeners weigh in live, followed by a special segment where Rich shares his experience meeting up with his longtime caller Gil from the Philippines, the one and only "Gilla from Manila."
