CannCon and Zak Paine open with the Monday morning after President Trump's election speech, sifting through weekend meltdowns from DC insiders and giving credit where due to Senator Mark Warner for handing them a stack of instantly fact checked soundbites. From there they dig deep into a wild Michigan case involving a voter registration company caught fabricating thousands of applications for gift...

Burning Bright brings on Matt Ehret for a deep dive into a topic he admits he is still untangling himself, the City of London and its recurring role in narratives circulating across the truth community. The two work through last week's Trump address on election fraud and the Department of Justice's fresh disclosures, then pivot into where the real threads of interference may lead, from Anglo Venet...

Jonathan Drake picks up right where the outrage over Justice Joseph Story left off, then zooms out to a bigger question: is justice actually real, or just a comforting story we tell ourselves? Using Spooner's chapter two "if then" logic (plus a detour through gravity, unicorns, C.S. Lewis, and the Godhead), Jon makes the case that justice is as natural as light or tides, not something invented by...

Is the economy good or bad? Dr. Peter C. Earle, PhD economist and senior director of research at the American Institute for Economic Research, has a better question: good for whom? In this episode, Jon Herold sits down with Earle to unpack why a single headline never captures how millions of households actually experience the same economy. They dig into the indicators worth watching (inflation, Tr...

The disclosure finally happened, and Jon Herold and Chris Paul spend the first Saturday show since it dropped combing through Tulsi Gabbard's newly declassified election documents. They walk through the actual findings, not just the speech that previewed them, arguing the presentation undersold what's really in the paperwork. Expect a mix of graphics, substack article references, and plenty of rec...

Cam Cooksey is back from a month of travels (Deadwood, the Lupos for the 4th, then Clearwater Beach) and still on island time, sunburned and peeling, but ready for a good time. He kicks off with a fun first: paying for a Steak 'n Shake 1776 meal with Bitcoin Lightning, then eases into a warm, patriotic celebration of America's 250th. Expect Cam's signature positive spin on the news. He covers Trum...

Friday night kicks off with the usual audio gremlins (wrong microphones, apologies all around) before the crew digs into the week's biggest story: President Trump's speech touching on election fraud, a possible national emergency declaration on election integrity, and why he name checked China and Venezuela while notably skipping other suspects. Expect a deep dive into competing theories about who...

Host Matt Trump kicks off a strangely "off" day (a suspected credit card scam, a dead remote camera, and possibly six aligning planets) before diving into his real fascination: the World Cup as a shadow play about race. Fresh off the Gart conference and armed with a running screen share, he walks through how different national teams embody wildly different racial philosophies, from France's "imper...

GMoney welcomes Jeff Booth (author of The Price of Tomorrow) back to the show for a conversation that takes direct aim at one accusation Bitcoiners hear constantly: that a deflationary, abundant future is just socialism wearing an orange hat. Booth flips the frame entirely, arguing the real hypocrisy belongs to the folks defending a system that has never actually been a free market. Expect a first...

Jordan and Nate open with a genuinely wild AI experiment: Nate ran his genetic data through an AI tool and got a full cognition, energy, and hormone report back. From there they dive deep into psychedelic therapy, celebrating RFK Jr.'s new HHS VA partnership researching psychedelics for veterans while flagging real concerns. Big Pharma is already circling, with Eli Lilly dropping billions to paten...

Ghost breaks out the maps for a deep dive on the revival of the long dormant Kirkuk to Banias oil pipeline running from Iraq to Syria, tracing its roots all the way back to 1952 and explaining why it makes far more strategic sense than Netanyahu's old dream of piping oil straight to Israel. From there the show pivots to some genuinely juicy palace intrigue: why Netanyahu has spent two weeks trying...

Ashe in America and Ghost dig into Season 4, Episode 7 of The Chosen, "The Last Sign," and it might be the most emotionally loaded hour of the season. Jesus finally performs the miracle the whole season has been building toward, and the hosts explore why the writers chose to center this episode on pain rather than triumph. Expect commentary on the raising of Lazarus, the significance of the Bible'...

Jon Herold spends "Post Disclosure Day" digging through the freshly declassified documents behind Trump's primetime speech, arguing the paperwork itself is far more damning than how Trump actually described it on stage. He walks through claims that China stole 220 million voter files, worked with Venezuela style tactics to manipulate machines, produced fraudulent driver's licenses for ineligible v...

CannCon and Chris Paul dive straight into the morning after Trump's primetime election speech, breaking down which pre show rumors actually panned out and which turned out to be red herrings. The bulk of the show walks through the declassified documents at the center of it all, from claims that China compromised well over 200 million voter registration records to renewed questions about Venezuela,...

CannCon and Ashe in America kick off the night with an hour of pure pregame chaos, a homemade election bingo card, a themed cocktail menu (yes, there's a shot named after a voting system testing lab), and some very cagey teasing about what Trump is about to announce. Then the speech itself hits, and it is a big one: declassified documents, a claimed 220 million compromised voter files, allegations...

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive into David Fincher's 1997 mind bender, and it turns out one of them had somehow dodged this one entirely until now. They trace the eerie line from The Game to The Truman Show to The Matrix, unpacking why the late 90s were absolutely dripping with existential dread, and how a movie about total control over one man's reality hits very differently with "post info wa...

Frankie Val marks a grim anniversary: 30 years since TWA Flight 800 went down off Long Island. Forget the official spark-in-the-fuel-tank story. Frankie walks through Jack Cashill's reporting, a whistleblower's account, and the Crick vs. Raytheon lawsuit that quietly got shuttered in early 2026. Along the way, expect a tour of the government's greatest "we would never do that, would they?" hits, f...

The White House press room covers a LOT of ground today, from a teased primetime address on election integrity to a staffer allegedly betting on the president's own speeches (yes, really), all before lunch. The press secretary fields questions on inflation dropping to a six year low, the newly launched Trump savings accounts for kids, border numbers, and a Strait of Hormuz blockade involving over...

Jon Herold calls it "E Day" as Washington braces for Trump's primetime election disclosure speech, and he spends much of the show digging through old intelligence community reports and executive order 13848 to argue that China's 2020 election interference was known and suppressed years ago while Russia's role got amplified. He walks through Paul Sperry's reporting on alleged Chinese hacking of vot...

CannCon and Alpha Warrior open with Josh Hawley's fiery account of Jack Smith allegedly surveilling his texts, calls, and location, part of a wider revelation about dozens of senators and congressmen swept up in the same dragnet. From there they break down the House quietly passing a national security bill with the Save America Act tucked inside, just hours before President Trump's much anticipate...

Jon Herold and Burning Bright gear up for what they're calling election fraud disclosure Eve, the night before a much hyped presser that could either deliver game changing revelations or turn into another rug pull. Spoiler: they're managing expectations either way, and they walk through their own poll numbers to prove it. From there it's a deep dive into JD Vance's recent comments on Joe Rogan abo...

Trump heads to the Army War College in Pennsylvania for Senator Dave McCormick's defense summit, and somehow turns an infrastructure announcement into a masterclass on aircraft carrier catapults. Nearly $10 billion in new defense investment gets unveiled on the spot, submarines, shipyards, missile components, robotics hubs, and a passionate, extended rant about why magnets do not belong on Navy el...

Is Mitch McConnell alive, dead, or something in between? Shipwreck dives into the wildest proof of life saga of the year, then pivots to Lindsey Graham's sudden passing and the baffling decision to hand his Senate seat to a sister nobody has ever heard of. She keeps circling back to the Charlie Kirk fallout too, questioning why anyone needed Candace Owens to tell them something felt off. There is...

Ghost and Chris Ponder join Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast for a genuinely fun one, recorded live from Madison Square Garden, where the trio starts unveiling a "rule set" designed to help ordinary people triangulate truth without needing a physics degree. Think of it like a calculator: you don't need to understand the circuitry to trust the math. Chris walks everyone through a diagram built from...

Jon Herold spends Hump Day bracing for Thursday's big election announcement, sharing poll results on audience expectations and urging people to prepare for a possible letdown rather than get their hopes too high. He plays clips from Amy Coney Barrett's testimony about threats to her family and her push for more Supreme Court security, offering some pointed pushback on her reasoning, then turns to...
