CannCon and Ashe in America take apart a Deseret News profile that positions Steven Richer, the former Maricopa County recorder behind the infamous "Drawer 3" ballot scandal, as the trusted Republican voice on why California's elections are secure. They walk through his claims about audits, fraud detection, and mail-in deadlines, pointing out that the very system he defends prioritizes ballot acce...

Episode 114 opens with a War Room clash: Rabbi Wallachie acknowledges that US and Israeli interests are diverging, but Ghost steps in to correct his claim that Hezbollah is simply the Iranian army, walking through its actual origins as a resistance movement. From there, Ghost breaks down a heated Bannon segment where Wallachie denies any Greater Israel expansion plan, a claim Ghost dismantles usin...

Jon Herold comes in Tuesday on a hectic kid-shuttling day with a story that immediately raises questions. The FBI says it disrupted a terror plot involving explosive drones and a staged sniper attack targeting last weekend's UFC Freedom 250 event, with five suspects in custody and 23 more identified, but Jon notes none of them were arrested in Washington DC and wonders how surveillance happened ju...

President Trump holds a joint press conference with an Iranian leader who thanks him directly for ending the six week war, then walks through the terms of the new memorandum: Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, the Strait of Hormuz opens permanently and toll free, and the US pays nothing. Trump promises to release the full document and read it word for word at an upcoming press conference, cont...

CannCon and Ghost open Tuesday with somber news first: a B-52 crash at Edwards Air Force Base claims all eight servicemen aboard, the latest in a string of unexplained military aircraft losses. From there the show pivots into a packed lineup. Trump's latest Save America Act post adds two new conditions, and CannCon and Ghost debate whether the bill's failure to pass is actually a deliberate gateke...

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open Episode 189 with a quick detour into a viral Sasquatch video (probably AI, possibly a guy in a suit) before tackling the newly released four-page ODNI report on global bioweapons labs and what it might mean for Anthony Fauci's accountability. A short segment pulled from Candace Owens covers a theory connecting the 2022 death of a man named Mark Liedy, who allegedly st...

Part two of Ashe's conversation with Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast picks up where Space Revolution Ep. 22 left off, and this time they go further out. Literally. From China's 30-year plan to dominate the space economy to SpaceX's Earth-to-Earth rocket that can get you from LA to Singapore in under 20 minutes, this episode is equal parts geopolitical reality check and genuine wonder. Kwast explai...

Ghost sits down with Clay Parikh, a Marine artillery veteran who was actually there, for the most personal episode of The Book of Trump yet. Clay walked through the same BLT headquarters building that was destroyed, donated blood to Palestinian civilians after IDF cluster bombing, and was days away from being the unit relieving the marines who died when Operation Urgent Fury redirected his ship to...

Palantir was not born in a garage. It was commissioned by the CIA director who oversaw 9/11, brokered by the neoconservative architect of the Iraq War, and handed to Peter Thiel and Alex Karp as a private commercial replacement for the Total Information Awareness Office after Congress shut it down in 2003. In this episode, Matt Ehret walks through what Palantir actually is, who built it, who it se...

GART is less than two weeks out and Ashe has a dedicated laundry basket for Deadwood outfits because Brian wants her to think about the weight of her suitcase. The ladies kick things off recapping UFC at the White House, the dripping with corporate sponsorships narrative swap the left tried after the taxpayer dollars argument fell apart, fighters walking out of the Oval Office down the Hall Of Pre...

CannCon, Alpha Warrior, and Cam Cooksey kick off a jam-packed post-Father's Day episode with a full World Cup breakdown, including Team USA's win over Paraguay and a historic Haiti versus Scotland match that ended decades-long World Cup droughts for both nations. From there the crew dives into a stacked UFC card, with Josh Hogan's knockout of Derrick Lewis, Cyril Gane's dominant heavyweight title...

Jon Herold comes in Monday still processing the fallout from a post he made last night, and he wants to talk about it. After UFC 250 wrapped, a wave of decoder accounts had spent the week hyping the event's EBS color test as a sign something bigger was coming. Jon posted a good faith question asking what happens now that nothing did, and the response was less about the substance and more about att...

President Trump joins French President Macron in Evian for the G7 summit, where the two leaders announce a signed peace deal with Iran that fully prohibits nuclear weapons under strong policing powers. The Strait of Hormuz is already partially open with mine clearing underway and full reopening expected by Friday. Trump contrasts the new deal with Obama's JCPOA, recalling the infamous 1.7 billion...

CannCon and Zak Paine open the week still buzzing from one of the most stacked weekends in recent memory. Trump's 80th birthday coincided with America's 250th UFC event on the White House lawn, complete with a bald eagle flyover, dirt bikes, and a walkout moment that had even a protester stopping to admire the flyover. Pitcher John Hocket stole the night with an unscripted Michelle Obama joke that...

Episode 28 lands on Trump's 80th birthday, Flag Day, and the same day the United States and Iran officially announce an end to their conflict, though nobody bothered to tell Netanyahu. Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid break down the leaked audio between Trump and Bibi, explain why Israel is getting cut loose exactly on schedule with the old Q post about saving Israel for last, and walk through how Iran...

After eight weeks of vortexes, ferrocells, and the occasional theological mic drop, Jonathan Drake flies solo this week and pivots from physics to political philosophy, though the underlying framework holds up surprisingly well. The new series digs into Lysander Spooner's 1882 essay "Natural Law, or the Science of Justice," a short but dense treatise with one of the more delightfully blunt subtitl...

Jon Herold sits down with Steve and Terry of Loaded Gun Coffee for an episode that starts with bourbon pecan and ends somewhere much deeper. What began as a tribute project to honor family members who served turned into a discovery of just how deep their military roots run, including a great uncle still listed as MIA from World War II and a great uncle KIA in Korea at just 19. Steve shares his own...

Episode 56 of Flow hands the reins over to Cristina and Adrian from Rise Attire for the debut of Cristina's first solo film, Dauntless Tales: The Crystal Veil. The conversation breaks down the thirteen minute AI made short, the crystal veil as a metaphor for the screens that keep everyone glued and disconnected, and a faceless villain that represents the cabal nobody can quite see. There is a lot...

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open the Saturday show with Tulsi Gabbard's bio lab declassification, which both hosts dismiss as a limited hangout repeating information that has been public since 2021 and 2022. They float a more interesting possibility: that the real declassification work may be coming from the Presidential Intelligence Advisory Board under Devin Nunez rather than the DNI's office at a...

Jon Herold is mysteriously absent (definitely just watching the World Cup), so the crew rolls deep with Zak Paine, Matt Trump, Jaytriot, and Jordan Sather. The night kicks off with World Cup mania, a German tourist's culture shock tour through Buc-ee's and Waffle House, and a deep dive into Michigan camping lore that somehow lands on ancient Phoenician and Roman copper trade theories involving Isl...

Forget the "well, actually" crowd. Yes, the Germans were central to the space race, and host Matt Trump is leaning all the way into it. In Part I of this new series, Matt traces humanity's first object to ever cross into outer space back to a test launch from Peenemunde on June 20, 1944, two weeks after D-Day, and the weapon it became, the V2. But the real story starts decades earlier with Jules V...

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince tackle a rumor mill moment first: Robert Malone claims RFK Jr. is set to resign as HHS Secretary in July, and HHS immediately fires back calling it fake news. Jordan, who has tracked Malone's track record before, is skeptical but keeping receipts. Then things get heavy fast. Senator Ron Johnson calls the COVID vaccine cover up a scandal bigger than Watergate, and a po...

Episode 113 opens with Ghost's "cyclone" theory in full motion: Trump occupies both sides of the Iran narrative at once, threatening to bomb Tehran while announcing a deal is two or three days away. Ghost breaks down the Apache helicopter incident, Trump telling the Wall Street Journal it "wasn't a big deal," and the Oval Office gaggle where Trump casually reveals he has been working directly with...

Jon Herold comes in Friday with the most material he has had all week, starting with Tulsi Gabbard's first round of declassification on US-funded biolabs. The release is four pages confirming what Russia disclosed back in 2022 and what the community has been saying for years while getting called conspiracy theorists for it. Jon uses the moment for some honest self-reflection: if this is true now,...

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a show that whiplashes in real time right alongside the news itself. Trump tells Fox News in the morning that bombing Iran will continue and be bigger than ever, then hours later announces on Truth Social that strikes are canceled and a memorandum of understanding has been signed with eleven countries including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. In the...
