What really happened inside the FBI during the first year of the new administration? In this America Off the Rails special, we take a deep, data-driven look at every major FBI operation from January 20, 2025 through January 26, 2026 — cutting past narratives and focusing on measurable outcomes. Over the course of the year, the FBI launched multiple nationwide enforcement surges, including:sweeping crackdowns on crimes against children, rescuing hundreds of victims and arresting hundreds of offenders,Operation Summer Heat, a massive violent-crime initiative resulting in thousands of arrests, major weapons seizures, and large-scale drug interdictions,the largest health care fraud takedown in U.S. history, targeting more than $14 billion in alleged fraud,targeted deployments into Indian Country to address unresolved violent crime,and the quiet dismantling of transnational theft rings and nation-state-linked fraud schemes.Most notably, during this same period, the FBI took down six of its ten Most Wanted fugitives — a 60% turnover of the Bureau’s highest-priority targets in roughly one year. This episode isn’t about press releases or politics. It’s about operational tempo, enforcement capacity, and what the numbers actually say about how federal law enforcement functioned in 2025. Whether you trust the FBI or distrust it, the question isn’t how you feel. The question is: did they go loud? This episode answers that.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/america-off-the-rails--986237/support.

But life doesn't have a pause button, and sometimes you only have the blink of an eye to make a life-or-death decision.People would do well to remember that  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/america-off-the-rails--986237/support.

“Fifteen days in, and the D.C. script hasn’t changed: spend more, blame less. Rick Robinson calls out the shutdown farce, illegal immigrant funding, and a power class allergic to accountability.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/america-off-the-rails--986237/support.

Washington stalls, the CDC rewrites the record, and freedom takes the hit. The reaction to Trump's Mideast peace win is very partisan, to say the least.

Shutdown pain at home, bomb threats in D.C., and a paper-thin peace push abroad. In this America Off The Rails special, Rick breaks down what “most operations closed” at the IRS really means for taxpayers, why the Red Mass arrest matters for our institutions, and how newly declassified intel revives the Biden–Ukraine transparency fight. Then we pivot overseas to the Gaza peace framework — what Phase One promises (hostages, pullback, inspections), where it can break, and why verification beats applause.Plus: Pam Bondi’s Senate showdown, the right-of-center split on Israel strategy, and what “one law for everybody” should look like in America. Hard questions, clean receipts, and zero patience for political theater.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/america-off-the-rails--986237/support.
