Jon Herold comes in Thursday a little bruised from the Wild's overtime collapse and ready to sort out what actually happened with yesterday's viral story. Half of the infowar space spent Wednesday sharing breaking news that the CIA raided Tulsi Gabbard's office and seized JFK and MK Ultra files. Jon traces the story back to its actual source in the CIA whistleblower testimony, explains how the wor...

Ghost and Ashe in America close out season three by walking through the Decapolis arc all the way to Simon stepping out of the boat. The hosts unpack why Andrew and Philip's parable of the great banquet sparked a literal street brawl, why Judas is the only apostle in the room who instantly grasps everyone's offense (because his ego is still fully intact), and what it means that Jesus heals a deaf-...

CannCon and Alpha Warrior bring the Thursday energy with a show that is almost entirely CIA. Senate Homeland Security Committee holds an open hearing with CIA whistleblower James Erdman, and not a single Democrat shows up. Erdman confirms that Fauci personally injected himself into the intelligence community's COVID origin review, that CIA analysts concluded lab leak was the most likely explanatio...

Jon Herold and Burning Bright open with live footage from Trump's bilateral summit with Xi Jinping in Beijing. Burning Bright unpacks his multipolar margin call theory: the entire US/China trade war was a coordinated squeeze on the global billionaire class, and the summit is Trump and Xi standing at the head of the table telling those 30 top CEOs exactly who controls the future of their companies....

Tonight on The Shipwreck Show, we go deep into some of the strangest theories, stories, and moments shaping the modern conversation around reality itself. We’re talking: Operation Fishbowl and the theories surrounding it, Claims of people living in “two timelines” side by side, The viral roast of Kevin Hart, The mysterious “Lazarus” story and questions about life, death, and resurrection The so-ca...

Cohost Matt Trump finally makes it on the mic after last week's traffic detour, and the wait was worth it. He brings a giant lens: humanity over millennia, with Johan Huizenga's The Autumn of the Middle Ages as the anchor. Lt Gen (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast riffs alongside him. The framing is unforgettable. Matt calls our current moment the return of the future. In the 1960s, with Apollo and Star Trek,...

Jon Herold comes in Wednesday with a full show and a story that has him reaching for the electoral college map. The FBI has opened a preliminary investigation into Wisconsin's 2020 election, and Jon walks through the math live: flip Georgia, flip Wisconsin, flip one more state, and the "not enough fraud to change the outcome" argument collapses entirely. The Arctic Frost memos reveal that Biden's...

CannCon and Ashe bring Ash Wednesday with a show that ranges from the absurd to the consequential. Missouri's Supreme Court upholds redrawn congressional maps that effectively eliminate the only Democrat seat, and Mississippi sets a special session to redraw Bennie Thompson's district. Ashe and CannCon use the redistricting wave to make the deeper argument: the real problem is not who draws the di...

JB White records this one at night for the first time ever, and somehow delivers one of his more loaded episodes. He walks through two sharp posts on Trump's China visit: Rob Cunningham's framing of the industry CEO delegation as a negotiation over the global financial operating system, and AJ Inapi's systematic breakdown of every pillar of Chinese global leverage that the Trump administration has...

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid open with the Thomas Massie scandal that broke today, an alleged relationship with Anessa West, a South Africa trip with corroborating photos, and a hush money offer from something called a cow money fund. Pair that with Marjorie Taylor Greene quietly relocating to a five million dollar house in Costa Rica, which conveniently does not extradite to The United States, and...

CannCon and Ashe in America welcome Dr. Andrew Paquette, known online as Zark Files, research director for New York Citizens Audit and one of the most technically rigorous voices in election integrity work. Dr. Paquette walks through five years of voter roll analysis across more than a dozen states, explaining how he reverse engineered four distinct algorithms embedded in New York's voter registra...

Ghost opens episode 106 with the Senate hearing where Lindsey Graham attacks Pakistan as mediator, then cuts to Trump defending Pakistan's field marshal and prime minister in real time. Two landmark op-eds frame the hour: Robert Kagan's Atlantic piece declaring the Iran confrontation a strategic defeat for US-led hegemony, and Prince Turki al-Faisal's Arab News essay crediting MBS with quietly pul...

Jon Herold comes in Tuesday energized and with receipts. The FBI is now actively interviewing CIA officials as part of the Brennan investigation into the 2017 Russian intelligence assessment, and Jon plays a recent Brennan clip where the man openly admits to knowing about a "legion" of professionals inside the government still working against Trump. Jon flags it as potential RICO furtherance on ta...

CannCon and Ghost open Tuesday's geopolitics-heavy show with Ghost leading the charge. John Brennan goes on MSNBC and openly tells embedded bureaucrats to hold the line, and James Comey follows with the same message minutes later, giving CannCon two dog whistles in one segment to unpack. Netanyahu tells 60 Minutes he wants to zero out the $3.8 billion in annual US military aid within a decade, and...

Episode 184 is a call-in show, and the audience delivers. Jon Herold and Zak Paine open with a reaction to Christopher Nolan's Odyssey trailer, breaking down the DEI casting choices that put Elliot Page as Achilles and Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy, and the Oscar diversity requirements that made it happen. From there, the conversation covers the UFO file releases and Jon's concern that the slow...

Ashe sits down with filmmaker Matt Thayer for a wide ranging conversation about telling stories that matter in a culture that desperately needs them. From "The Trump I Know" to the upcoming theatrical release "No Limbs, No Limits," the story of Nick Vujicic, this episode is part film conversation, part theology, and part election accountability. What does authentic Christian faith look like when t...

Ghost and Jordan Sather team up to trace the most consequential dynasty in American history: the Rockefellers. From John D. Rockefeller's oil monopoly and JPMorgan's steel consolidation to the invention of the holding company by the law firm that later became the CIA, the dots connect in ways that still reverberate in 2026. Jordan breaks down how the Rockefellers engineered the modern pharmaceutic...

Aliens are coming. Or so they want you to believe. In this episode, Matt Ehret traces the UFO disclosure movement from its origins in 1947 CIA memos to today's Pentagon whistleblowers, and finds the same occult networks running the show at every stage. From Allen Dulles using Carl Jung's archetype theory as a psychological warfare handbook, to the Rockefeller-funded promotion of LSD through Time a...

It's episode 69, hey hey, and the ladies are not going to mention it. Jackie shares the pet photo challenge submissions including her bird who tried to drink her reflection water, and Ashe tells the proper version of Caleb's eighth birthday in Manhattan involving the Intrepid, Spider-Man dropping web from the rafters, Dylan's Candy Bar, and one harrowing taxi near miss. Christy unpacks the British...

Caleb Epp fills in for JB, and CannCon, Alpha Warrior, Cam Cooksey, and Caleb get right into it. CannCon coins the new show slogan, "Men Unsupervised," before diving into Mother's Day recaps and NHL playoff predictions with Caleb backing the Avs over the Sabres in six. Alpha brings a full breakdown of the Savannah Bananas and all 11 rules of Banana Ball that somehow makes the strongest case yet fo...

Jon Herold comes in Monday on a slow news day and makes it work. Today is apparently the last possible day to charge Anthony Fauci under the standard statute of limitations, and Jon marks the occasion with the appropriate level of fanfare before explaining why the grand conspiracy angle might make the whole conversation moot. Trump announced a temporary suspension of the federal gas tax, and Jon i...

CannCon and Zak Paine open the Monday show fresh off a massive Friday ruling and ready to connect all the dots. The Hantavirus narrative is in full swing with CNN, the New York Post, and the WHO doing their best to spin a Dutch ornithologist's South American landfill trip into the next pandemic, and CannCon maps out the election year fear playbook with every example going back to 2006. Trump refus...

JB White opens with Marco Rubio standing in front of a map of Cuba with SOUTHCOM's commanding general and makes the point that this image alone tells you more about Trump's second term agenda than most analysts have figured out. He then reads Michael Massey's sharp piece on Trump as a pragmatist rather than a liberal or a conservative, and explains why that framing is exactly right. The centerpiec...

Burning Bright sits down with Ashe in America for a methodical and surprisingly optimistic look at where the Patriot plan actually stands. Ashe brings her twenty-year background in corporate change management to map the Trump era onto a formal transformation program, arguing that the second administration is deep in the implementation and execution phase. The two dissect how the same change manage...

Part 4 of the ether series is where things start getting visual. Jonathan Drake and Polymath move from philosophical groundwork into the actual mechanics of the medium, beginning with the dielectric, a term coined by Michael Faraday to describe the medium through which electrostatic force acts. From the ancient Greeks rubbing amber to Faraday proving that charge lives in the medium between capacit...
