Trump opens up Camp David for a cabinet meeting, a first in modern presidential history, and RFK Jr. gets a genuinely moving moment reminiscing about his uncle's visits there six decades ago. From there it's a full lap around the administration's wins: record stock market highs, Trump savings accounts topping 7 million sign ups, prescription drug prices dropping through the favored nation policy,...

CannCon and Chris Paul dig into a brewing Senate standoff over the Attorney General nomination, with President Trump publicly torching two Republican senators for blocking his pick and a wild theory floating around about why the Senate might be sticking around for recess longer than usual. They also unpack a clever Bannon idea for forcing the Senate's hand using a Cabinet reshuffle, plus a genuine...

Chris Paul and Burning Bright take on this year's Amazon original about a near future AI dystopia, and yes, they clock the irony of Amazon making a movie about the machine while being a very large piece of the machine themselves. They dig into how the film handles its "will the AI save us or enslave us" premise without tipping too hard in either direction, trade notes on director Timur Bekmambetov...

CannCon and Alpha Warrior kick back for a looser, laid off the news desk kind of night, and it shows. Alpha opens with an update on his one man trolling campaign of a neighborhood app politics forum, then the guys trade Marine and Army deployment stories side by side, comparing wide open Afghanistan firefights to close quarters Iraq combat. Along the way they react to a stack of combat footage, fr...

Description: Frankie Val and co-host Jay open by reflecting on nearly 20 years of Thursday broadcasts, then get into a night billed as psyop central. First up: Anthony Fauci's newly surfaced pandemic diary, where the running theme is not global health but how many magazine profiles, cupcakes, and bobbleheads featured him. Frankie reads the entries, Jay talks about doing biochemistry grad work whil...

CannCon and Ashe in America crack open Chapter 10 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, and this time the Fed is fully in the crosshairs. This week is all about the Mandrake Mechanism, named after a comic strip magician who could conjure things out of thin air, which turns out to be an uncomfortably accurate description of how the Federal Reserve actually creates money. The host...

Trump gathers veterans, cabinet officials, and trucking executives at the White House to unveil the Freedom Haulers Initiative, a plan built around a simple pitch: illegal aliens out from behind the wheel, American veterans in. Expect striking numbers on non English speaking drivers pulled off the road, thousands of unlawfully issued commercial licenses cancelled, and a genuinely emotional lineup...

Jon Herold digs into a notable fact sheet released jointly by the heads of the ODNI, NSA, CIA, and DHS, which formally confirms that China's voter data theft meets the official definition of election interference rather than mere influence. He plays a clip of John Solomon previewing more upcoming disclosures on FBI and intelligence community abuses, plus Trump's own comments respecting Biden's par...

Ashe in America and Ghost close the book on Season 4 of The Chosen with a full recap, and honestly, it is a lot to unpack. They trace the season's throughline of humility versus ego across nearly every major character, from the shock of John the Baptist's execution in episode one to Judas's slow drift toward betrayal by the finale. Expect a candid breakdown of how the show handles Shmuel and Yusuf...

CannCon and Alpha Warrior dig into the full fallout from Anthony Fauci's congressional hearing, replaying his repeated invocation of the Fifth Amendment on everything from funding conflicts to a pointed line of questioning about Bill Gates and NIAID's overseas partnerships. They also revisit Senator Ron Johnson's methodical breakdown of pandemic era studies that were buried at the time, and a shar...

Jon Herold and Burning Bright open with a bit that pokes fun at how fast rumors spin out of control online (spoiler: Fauci was not, in fact, killed at Gitmo), before getting into what actually happened: Anthony Fauci testifying and invoking the Fifth Amendment over and over again. The guys play clip after clip, breaking down just how many times he did it, what it legally does and doesn't protect h...

Chris Paul joins Chris Ponder and Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast for what turns into a lively cross examination, with Chris Paul playing the role of skeptic in chief and asking the ground level questions everyone's been thinking. What is this tool actually for, and how do you define truth in the first place? Chris Ponder introduces the "Paragon," his model for understanding the information enviro...

Jon Herold breaks down Fauci's much anticipated congressional testimony, where he pled the Fifth Amendment repeatedly, including on questions as basic as what day of the week it was, and shares the viral moment where Senator Bernie Moreno dropped an F bomb demanding an apology. He walks through Kathryn Herridge's reporting on the legal strategies that could still challenge Fauci's Biden era pardon...

Senator Rand Paul opens with a blistering, documented case against Anthony Fauci on gain of function funding, the Wuhan lab, and years of shifting public versus private statements, and from there it only gets more intense. Fauci, appearing under subpoena and armed with a sweeping presidential pardon, invokes the Fifth Amendment to nearly every question asked, including some that have nothing to do...

CannCon and Ashe cover a genuinely wild congressional hearing day as Anthony Fauci shows up citing advice of counsel and looking to plead the fifth, his own attorney gets physically removed from the chamber for refusing to sit where instructed, and RFK Jr faces questions about a pardon that may not hold up to legal scrutiny. They also dig back into Fauci's diary entries for a look at how obsessed...

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid open on a somber but wild note, digging into the death of Lindsey Graham and picking apart funeral details, timelines, and a theory or two that even they admit is pure speculation. From there they pivot into a preview of a coming wave of UFO related documents, a strange White House video turning Chuck Schumer into an AI alien robot, and why the guys think the psychologi...

No guest this week, just CannCon and Ashe in America turning the heat all the way up. They start with that newly declassified CIA note on Venezuela and lay out why it reads less like a bombshell about Maduro and more like a blueprint for what happened at home. From there, things get spicy. The two dig into a certain must-read election book (now referred to strictly as Voldemort) and why wrong tech...

A rare Tuesday night edition since vacation packing took over the usual schedule, but Shipwreck still shows up ready to go. She kicks off by metaphorically burying Lindsey Graham and reacting to Trump's latest Netanyahu comments, then dives into a heated online debate she started this week over the Palm Beach Pete and Jeffrey Epstein lookalike saga, plus a religious back and forth that spiraled ou...

Jon Herold covers a busy Tuesday with Zelensky and Netanyahu both visiting the White House at the same time, plus fresh Biden ghostwriter tapes catching him warning his own material might be classified. He digs into newly surfaced Fauci diary entries showing a private death rate estimate far lower than what he told Congress under oath ahead of his Wednesday testimony, and runs an informal poll ask...

CannCon goes solo for the first time as Ghost steps back to daily appearances, testing out a new once a week format and asking the audience to weigh in. He starts with a wild batch of Joe Biden clips from years back showing early signs of cognitive decline, including a primetime address moment that somehow made it onto the official White House YouTube page uncut. From there it's a deep dive into A...

Jon Herold and Zak Paine welcome guest Tim S (Burn Notice) for one of the more sprawling episodes of the show, tracing what the guest calls "Prussiagate," a decades spanning theory that a Prussian aristocratic bloodline has been quietly steering global power since the 1800s. Ambassadors, banking collapses, the Federal Reserve, Operation Paperclip, and the rise of modern China all get pulled into t...

Ashe in America welcomes back Matt Thayer, co-founder of Spiro Pictures and the filmmaker behind "Selection Code," for a two part conversation. First up, a new documentary featuring one of Charlie Kirk's final interviews, premiering exclusively on Salem Now September 10th, exploring whether God still speaks and whether anyone is still listening. Matt talks about the making of the film and what it...

Trump makes history as the first sitting president to visit General Motors' famous Milford Proving Ground, and turns it into equal parts economic victory lap and full throttle campaign rally. Expect tariff talk on foreign cars and trucks, a nostalgic detour into his father's love of Cadillacs, and genuine enthusiasm over Escalades, Silverados, and a mysterious new class of tiny cars now cleared fo...

Welcome to a full-blown technical difficulty day, as Ashe in America, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada battle echoing mics and a crashing computer while somehow delivering a great show. Ashe opens with the freshly declassified Anthony Fauci journals released by Rand Paul, walking through a supercut of media figures showering Fauci with praise and making the case that the pandemic numbers were manip...

Jon Herold kicks off the week digging into newly released Fauci diary entries ahead of his expected Wednesday congressional testimony, highlighting private notes that seem to contradict his public statements on COVID origins, asymptomatic spread, and the "gain of function" debate. He weighs in on James Comey's motion to dismiss his indictment on First Amendment grounds, a new tariff blitz targetin...
