Nation of Islam Family, CALL IN and Prove the MOTHERPLANE Exists — Make It Make Sense!
For decades, the Nation of Islam has taught that a gigantic Mother Plane—often described as a massive wheel-shaped aircraft carrying smaller planes—exists and plays a central role in its theology. Believers have defended the teaching as divine truth, while critics have questioned whether the claims can be supported by history, science, engineering, or verifiable evidence.
Tonight, we’re opening the phone lines and inviting members, supporters, researchers, and critics alike to join the discussion.
🔹 What exactly is the Mother Plane according to Nation of Islam teachings?
🔹 When did these teachings first appear, and how have they evolved?
🔹 Are the descriptions found in Nation of Islam literature physically possible?
🔹 Is there any historical, scientific, military, or eyewitness evidence that supports these claims?
🔹 Can the Mother Plane be reconciled with modern aerospace technology?
🔹 If it exists, where is it, and why has it never been publicly verified?
🔹 Is the Mother Plane meant to be understood literally, symbolically, or both?
This is not a debate filled with insults or emotional arguments. This is an opportunity for those who believe the Mother Plane is real to present their strongest evidence and explain the doctrine in a way that withstands scrutiny and critical examination.
If you believe the Mother Plane exists, call in and help the audience understand

Today as it Happened on Thursday, June 18, 2026:

Vice President JD Vance on Thursday defended the memorandum of understanding signed by President Donald Trump and Iran, arguing the agreement benefits the United States whether Tehran ultimately complies with its terms or not.

“Their nuclear program has been completely destroyed,” Vance said during a White House briefing. “Their capacity for enrichment facilities … those facilities are still destroyed. Their conventional military is still destroyed. Their capacity to threaten their neighbors is largely gone.”

Trump signed the deal in France on Wednesday, and Vance said it was already producing results, pointing to lower oil prices and increased shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Ukraine hit the Moscow Oil Refinery for the second time in a week early Thursday — one of its biggest drone attacks since Russia’s full-scale invasion began more than four years ago. Massive fires raged at the facility in the Kapotnya district, one of Russia’s largest refineries, responsible for more than a third of the capital’s fuel. Thick black clouds rolled over the city. Four Moscow airports shut down.

And when former New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas began his investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s activities on Zorro Ranch, he never expected it to come to a grinding halt just as it began. But that’s precisely what New Mexico’s former top law enforcement officer says happened as he began to probe Epstein and his sprawling New Mexico property.

In 2019, Balderas was six months into an investigation and had just interviewed one Epstein survivor.

That’s when he said he heard from federal officials who said they were also looking into Epstein.

“We were immediately contacted by a whole legal team in New York, asking us to pause our investigation,” Balderas told the Scripps News Group during an interview in May.
