ABOUT THIS EPISODE

In this edition of Saving America, Dr. David Schein provides a hard-hitting Week in Review for the 11th week of 2026. We dive deep into the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, exploring how political gridlock over ICE and border security is leaving TSA and FEMA workers without pay while Spring Break travel descends into chaos.

Dr. Schein also provides a critical update on the Iran War, discussing the strategic dismantling of Iranian military assets by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and the recent strike on Kharg Island. From the surge in gas prices and inflation to the “liquidity crisis” affecting major firms like Blackrock and JP Morgan, we examine the economic red flags signaling a potential recession.

Other topics include the collapse of the Cuban regime, a controversial 9th Circuit ruling on privacy, and the conviction of Antifa members in Texas. Stay tuned for a surprising Gen Z twist at the National Gallery of Art.

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Welcome to the Week 10 (2026) edition of Saving America’s “Week in Review” with David D. Schein. We are covering a massive amount of ground this week, starting with the staggering reports from the War in Iran. With over 60% of their offensive capacity degraded, we look at the impact on global oil prices and the threat of sleeper cells right here in the U.S.

We also dive into the domestic chaos caused by the DHS Shutdown. As Spring Break hits, travelers are facing 5-hour delays at airports like Houston Hobby, while FEMA remains unfunded during a deadly tornado season. Plus, we analyze the shakeup at Homeland Security as Kristi Noem is out and Markwayne Mullin is in.

This week’s deep dives include:

• The February Jobs Report: A devastating loss of 90,000 jobs as AI and automation begin to eat into white-collar and warehouse sectors.
• The $200B Tariff Blow: Why SCOTUS and the lower courts are forcing the feds to issue massive refunds.
• Kalshi & The Ayatollah: The $54 million payout freeze on the prediction market betting on Khamenei’s death.
• Quantum Computing: Why the next generation of computers makes AI look like a “horse and wagon.”
• Maryland’s Justice Crisis: Homeowners in Prince George’s County evicted while the county feeds the illegal camp that destroyed their boiler.
• Landmark $2M Verdict: A New York jury finds doctors liable for a minor’s gender transition—is this the final nail in the movement?
• Dementia & Music: New research showing a 39% risk reduction for those who stay musically (and intellectually) active.

Subscribe and join the conversation as we analyze the policies shaping our future.
