Sunday Night, June 14, 2026 - The White House, Washington DC:

“UFC Freedom 250” commemorated the 250th birthday of the United States, President Donald Trump’s 80th Birthday and Flag Day with a once-in-a-generation celebration of the American fighting spirit.

From the Revolution to the Octagon, this historic night of championship mixed martial art fights connected fans through the action and unrivaled competition on the world’s greatest stage - the South Lawn of the White House.

At the Sunday Fanfest on Sunday, where more than 80 thousand gathered throughout the day to watch the fights on the screens at the Ellipse, Mike Leventhal caught up with a familiar face from Mar-a-Lago - the talented Palm Beach artist Mister E - who has been working for months on a wall mural depicting what he felt tells America story.

The action on the South Lawn was something that a Hollywood screen writer would imagine, concluding with Colorado native Justin Gaethje as the newest Undisputed Lightweight Champion, defeating Ilia Topuria in a fourth-round TKO.

Ilia Taporia posted on his social media congratulated Justin on the win and he called for a rematch after he recovers.

At the post fight press conference in the wee hours of the mourning - UFC CEO Dana White announced a special card next year...but Dana made it clear that he will not promote any more outdoor fights.

Okay - Mr. President - what do you have next for us?

A Closer Look at the UFC Octagon on the White House Lawn

George Santos is reportedly under federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission for potential insider trading on the predictions market site Kalshi.

Here is what happened - On February 23, Santos posted a video on his X account claiming, "I’m going to be there for the State of the Union in the gallery, guys," referencing President Trump's State of the Union address scheduled for the next day.

While publicly hyping that he would attend, Kalshi's internal monitoring systems detected that an account that was tied to Santos was wagering against his own attendance

George never showed up in DC.

Hmmmmm…….

On July 4th, 2026 — the nation’s 250th birthday — the Kennedy Center closes its doors. For two years.

What’s happening inside is the most extensive overhaul the building has seen since it opened in 1971. Crews are confronting water damage so severe that, in some places, structural steel has corroded down to tissue-thin.

Most of the first year’s work happens deep in the building’s core — structural repairs, mechanical systems, electrical, plumbing. The unglamorous fixes that keep a national landmark standing for the next fifty years.

The price tag: a $257 million federal appropriation, passed through the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” to address decades of deferred maintenance.

A national landmark, mid-transformation — closing one chapter on Independence Day, and reopening, in some form, in 2028.

The Trump Kennedy Center closes its doors. For two years.

He had a shotgun, a handgun, and knives in a black duffel bag — and a 10th-floor hotel room less than 100 feet from the President of the United States.

This is the man who almost pulled it off. His name is Cole Tomas Allen. 31 years old, from Torrance, California.

His targets? Trump administration officials, quote, “prioritized from highest-ranking to lowest.” He wrote he was, quote, “no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” He framed it as a defense of the rule of law and in a strange twist, out of every senior official in the administration, he named just one he wanted spared - FBI Director Kash Patel.

Allen now faces federal charges — using a firearm during a crime of violence, and assault on a federal officer with a deadly weapon. More charges expected.
Investigators are still piecing it together How a Cal Tech-educated teacher, the Teacher of the Month, became the closest thing to a presidential assassin this country has seen in years.

The President walked away. The country did not.

March 2026 - New Orleans, LA:

The New Orleans Book Festival at Tulane is back, transforming the Crescent City into a high-octane literary arena. While one hundred of the nation’s top authors took the stage, APB News was there as the dialogue quickly shifted from the page to the front lines of global and legal crises. From independent journalist Don Lemon addressing federal conspiracy charges and the First Amendment to Senator John Kennedy’s blunt assessment of the escalating war in Iran, the "Mardi Gras for the Mind" became a flashpoint for the most urgent conversations of today.

Amid the political crossfire, Governor Wes Moore joined APB’s Mike Leventhal to offer a grounded perspective on American leadership and his own defiant optimism. While the festival used literature to reflect on the past, it was these raw, unfiltered discussions on the Tulane stage that truly defined the weekend.

Shocking Revelations Unveiled at the New Orleans Book Festival | APB News

March 2026, New York City

With tremendous emotion, passion and conviction, hundreds of Iranian Americans gathered on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan on Sunday for a show of force called the "March for Liberation" in support of the Iranian people.

Under the watchful eye of the NYPD, the demonstration rallied against the Iranian regime while showing support for the military action Israel and the United States started last month.

The supporters are seeking a "liberated Iran" and demonstrating solidarity with its people here in the U.S. and those that are in Iran.

APB News' Mike Leventhal was on the march route and felt the true joy that after 47 years, the regime could be coming to an end.

This march was peaceful and impactful - while last Friday chaos broke out in Washington Square Park when opposing protesters started fighting with each other over a memorial to the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei who was killed in the airstrikes on the Iranian capital.

Masked protesters set up flowers alongside a photo of Khamenei and Iranian flags under the famed Washington Square Park Arch as demonstrators opposed the shrine.

Popular Jewish rapper - Kosha Dillz attended the memorial and appeared to rip down a sign that was in support of the recently slain Ayatollah. Then total pandemonium broke out - fists flying everywhere. The NYPD quickly jumped in and arrested Dillz as well as some of his attackers. Afterwards the rapper said he knows that many were paid protestors as he has seen
the same people at other non related protests.

Back to Sunday, Mike Leventhal heard from many that they felt Reza Pahlavi, the son of the former Shah of Iran, would be the best solution as the transitional leader to help lead the republic towards a democracy.

So for now the bombings continue in the Gulf with the hope that Iran realizes there is no pathway forward and after 47 years - freedom and democracy prevails.

February 2026 - Palm Beach, FL:

Political strategist Roger Stone is very focused on the 2026 mid term elections.

Mike Leventhal caught up with the longtime operative at the 2026 Hispanic Prosperity Gala at Mar-a-Lago to talk about President Trump’s first-year accomplishments, the impact on the economy, wages, and how it affects Hispanic Americans.

Roger praised Trump for keeping his campaign promises, revitalizing energy production, lowering gas prices, and creating job opportunities.

Mike asked Roger about what he is focusing on for the upcoming 2026 elections - which he emphasizes the importance of Republican messaging to highlight the differences between Trump second term policies and the current Democratic leadership.

Roger Stone Says the 2026 Midterms Will Be Decided by the Economy

February 2026 - Palm Beach, FL:

The Hispanic Prosperity Gala recently took center stage as a historic milestone, celebrating 250 years of American prosperity while spotlighting the Latino leaders who are driving its future. The event served as a powerful testament to a new era of influence, bringing together a diverse coalition of figures from government halls and global boardrooms. Central to the evening’s mission was the "America First" agenda, which continues to pave the way for a transformative wave of Latino entrepreneurship and political engagement.

Amidst the celebration, the conversation turned toward the strategic landscape of the upcoming 2026 elections. APB’s Mike Leventhal met up with Roger Stone to discuss the evolving political coalition of the Latino community and its pivotal role in shaping the nation's trajectory. This shift is mirrored in the private sector by leaders like Gabriela Berrospi, founder of Latino Wall Street, and Tony Delgado. Their work focuses on turning financial education into true economic freedom, bridging the gap between ambition and wealth for a growing network of over 150,000 members.

The gala functioned as more than just a celebration; it acted as a strategic bridge strengthening vital alliances across the United States and Latin America. While the evening honored a 250-year legacy of growth, the primary focus remained on the rising impact of Latino enterprise in the modern marketplace. By fostering these connections and prioritizing economic empowerment, the event underscored how the Hispanic community is not just participating in the American economy, but actively redefining its future.
