CannCon and Alpha Warrior open with a DHS statement on crime rates that Alpha is very pleased about, tying the drop back to deportation numbers and a broader debate over what actually drives the trend. From there they cover a wave of Democrat officials being charged over pandemic relief fraud, including a Massachusetts state representative facing eleven counts, plus a separate case involving posta...

Jon Herold and Burning Bright open with the escalating US Canada trade dispute, breaking down a clip from US Trade Representative Jameson Greer disputing the media narrative around a last minute tariff postponement gone sideways. There's real skepticism here about who actually backed out of the deal and why the coverage seems tilted. From there it's a stretch of speculation around the CIA director...

Cam and Chris Ponder rejoin Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast for round two of the truth triangulation series, picking up where last week's 16 steps left off. Cam offers a genuinely great mental exercise for the audience: imagine zooming into history the way you'd zoom into a map app, down to the exact building, the exact timestamp, even Thomas Jefferson's pen moving across the Declaration of Indepe...

Former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin joins Shipwreck for a wide ranging, no filter conversation that starts with home defense, go bags, and a legendary prank story from his academy days, then gets serious fast. He walks through his ongoing lawsuit fallout tied to calling out Cash Patel's inner circle, the strange background research he has done on a certain country singer connected to Patel, and why he...

Jon Herold works to untangle public confusion over a recent SCOTUS ruling on mail in voting, explaining that it only unfroze one of two active cases challenging Trump's postal executive order while the League of Women Voters case is still blocking key provisions. He covers the DOJ and FBI seizing Chinese state sponsored hacking tools that targeted NASA, the Fed, and other agencies, a Secret Servic...

CannCon and Ashe open with the CIA director making an unannounced trip to Moscow and speculate on what business would justify a visit nobody was supposed to know about. From there they dig into three Secret Service communications officials being suspended and stripped of clearances in a leak probe that appears tied to the Air Force One plane swap story, with both the FBI and CIA involved. The midd...

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid kick things off with the mystery of John Ratcliffe making an unannounced trip to Moscow, walking through why the usual explanations do not add up and what kind of message might actually be getting delivered behind closed doors. They also sit down with Nelson McIlveen from Sentry H2O for a segment on water filtration and why what is actually in your tap water matters mor...

This is the guest the audience kept demanding, and Zak Paine pushed CannCon to book. Clint Curtis, now Registrar of Voters in Shasta County, California, is the programmer who, back around 2000 in Florida, was asked to write software that could flip an election, and did, in 24 lines of code. CannCon and Ashe in America walk him through that origin story, the congressional testimony every mainstream...

Jon Herold digs into the unfolding Data Republican controversy, walking through how the prominent conservative data analyst faced backlash after admitting she's a paid special government employee at the Department of War, despite previously framing a State Department document handoff as an entrapment attempt. He argues the real issue isn't her politics but the lack of disclosure, and plays a clip...

CannCon flies solo for Tuesday with Ghost calling in for a meaty geopolitics segment on the Mecca agreement, an Article 5 style defense pact between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey that has now reportedly extended invitations to Iran and Syria. Ghost walks through Turkey's rising role inside NATO, US troops leaving Iraq, and a genuinely surprising revelation about who was actually serving as the...

Jon Herold and Zak Paine bring back Mandela effect subject matter expert Josh Reid for round two, picking up a thread they didn't have time to finish last time. Josh steps into the role of true believer while Jon plays skeptic in chief, and the two go back and forth all night with genuine friction and mutual respect. Expect a deep cut Philip K. Dick speech that gets treated as something close to p...

Ashe in America is joined by regular Wednesday cohost Burning Bright for part two of their "Weapons of the Enemy" conversation, picking up from a discussion that started the night before on "The Narrative." This round digs into what MAGA actually is at this point, whether it can be co opted, and why it has become nearly impossible for pollsters to measure. From there the two turn to political part...

Back to school season gets the full White House treatment, complete with a heliport and ballroom construction update squeezed in for good measure. Trump runs through a sweeping education agenda: ending critical race theory and "transgender ideology" in schools, expanding school choice through the Education Freedom Tax Credit, doubling 529 savings caps, and rolling out Trump savings accounts for ne...

Ashe, Christy, and Jackie are back with sponsors, laughs, and one of the most unhinged mom group chat sagas you will hear all year. It starts with a simple lunchbox complaint about Oreos and somehow spirals into accusations, escalations to the school, and a five year old accused of running the whole operation. The ladies cannot stop laughing at how far it goes. From there, Christy shares a viral v...

CannCon kicks things off with a genuinely sweet detour, sharing his 17th anniversary and the tribute video his wife made, before the guys steer hard back into manly territory with talk of keeping your nuts warm in a fifty dollar coffee mug. Football is nearly here, so the crew serves up a tightly curated highlight reel: Harrison Butker launching a 69-yard field goal with room to spare, a debate ov...

Jon Herold calls it a boring Monday news cycle but still digs into Trump's newly announced 50 percent tariffs on Canadian autos, parts, and steel starting in 2027, reading through the Truth Social post accusing Canada of running up a 60 billion dollar trade deficit. He plays clips from Treasury Secretary Bessent's rollout of "Operation Economic Outcast," a sweeping sanctions campaign aimed at cutt...

CannCon and Zak Paine open Monday with highlights from the Freedom 250 race in DC before digging into a measles outbreak story where the actual death numbers do not match the panic, with a detour into obesity and food policy nobody seems to want to talk about. From there they cover Brandon Gill making the case for testing the legality of auto pen pardons in court, and why the Fauci prosecution mig...

Burning Bright welcomes Ashe in America, whom he cheekily introduces as the perfect guest for this topic since she is a "sometimes enemy" who knows a lot about the weapons of the enemy. First order of business: an executive decision to stay on YouTube tonight, because Burning Bright refuses to besmirch "our Lord and savior, JRR Tolkien" by skipping his Lord of the Rings clips. The core question is...

This Week's Guest: Colton Kelley from Unicity https://BadlandsHealth.com Jon Herold is so sold on unimate that he shows up to this interview clutching his branded water bottle. In this episode of the sponsor spotlight series, he sits down with Colton Kelley of Unicity, the company behind the yerba mate extract Jon swears replaced his coffee habit. Colton traces Unicity's roots back to a century-ol...

Jon Herold and Chris Paul kick off with the usual banter (t-shirts, a broken ice maker) before getting into the mainstream media's sudden admission that election polls might be, in fact, fake, which segues nicely into growing chatter about a possible second Trump impeachment attempt. From there the conversation lands on the actual centerpiece of the episode: the new White House ballroom constructi...

Cam Cooksey splits episode 64 into two halves: an hour of Trump Truth Social posts on YouTube, then an hour off platform digging into a Cam Newton and Steve Smith conversation about triggers and mental health (don't worry, he promises it's not sports talk). The first hour is Trump in his bag. Cam covers the Supreme Court greenlighting the White House ballroom complex (which he suspects was quietly...

The night opens with an honest to goodness live decoding session: a former CIA officer's cryptic social media post about a redacted book epilogue, worked out letter by letter on air (spoiler, it's a little anticlimactic but still fun to watch unfold). From there the crew geeks out on a chip that reportedly pulls usable power straight from quantum vacuum fluctuations, with a healthy dose of skeptic...

Host Matt Trump wraps his London walking tour series and turns to a topic he calls preposterous, seductive, and genuinely fun: the Phantom Time Hypothesis, the claim that roughly 300 fabricated years were inserted into the Western calendar. He traces the idea back to his 1990s medieval-history hobby, credits the theory to Heribert Illig, and lays out its wild premise, that Holy Roman Emperor Otto...

Jordan and Nate pre record this one but still pack in plenty, starting with RFK's ongoing Real Food Show and a genuinely fascinating podcast episode with a very deaf Lou Ferrigno on ditching diet culture for good. From there they dig into Trump's pick for FDA commissioner, Dr. Heidi Overton, and why her ties to the recent childhood vaccine executive order have some old guard MAHA voices nervous. T...

Ashe in America and Ghost dig into Season 5, Episode 3 of The Chosen, "Woes," an episode Ashe says she watched three times before recording. This is the second half of the now iconic temple confrontation, and it lands harder than the first, as Jesus turns his full attention to the Sanhedrin with some of the most direct language in the entire series. The hosts walk through his string of rebukes to...
