Jon Herold comes in Tuesday on a short show before heading to Deadwood and delivers two things worth staying for. First, a pointed and honest analysis of who is actually hyping the White House quantum computing posts as Q confirmation: Jon asked seven OG Anons who have no financial stake in being right, and all seven said it looks like a troll. The only people going all in are content creators try...

CannCon and Ghost open the final show before GART week in Deadwood with a Tuesday packed with stories that connect in ways most people are not seeing. An AP investigation with a named whistleblower reveals the DEA knowingly allowed 74,000 fentanyl pills to flood New Mexico between 2023 and 2025 to catch bigger fish while running the "one pill can kill" public campaign at the same time. Bill Pulte...

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open Episode 190 with a laugh at Zak's expense after a fake Q alert briefly fooled him live on air, followed by a genuine debate about what the White House Q meme actually signals and why the decoder community is not the same thing as the Q drops themselves. Then the show picks up where Episode 189 left off on the GATE program, and this week the audience showed up with rec...

Was Hitler a Christian nationalist hero or a black magician puppet of Satanic bankers? Matt Ehrett, filmmaker and author of "Black Sun Rising," joins Ashe to answer that question and then some. From the Thule Society's demon-summoning sessions at Wewelsburg Castle to Michael Aquino running Operation Phoenix in a US military uniform after being initiated into the Church of Satan, this episode goes...

Think Tesla was a persecuted genius who just wanted to give the world free energy? Matt Ehret would like a word. In Part 1 of this deep dive, he traces Tesla's closest friendship to George Sylvester Virek, Hitler's official Washington spokesman, Aleister Crowley disciple, and organizer of the 1939 Madison Square Garden Nazi rally. Along the way Ehret documents Tesla's enthusiastic support for mand...

The rematch is here, and the boys still haven't recovered from last time. Part 2 of the Battle of the Sexes crossover brings together CannCon and Christy, Cam and Jackie, Ashe in America, and Alpha Warrior for another round of trivia chaos during a special GART Week edition. Stakes are high: the losers serve drinks at Live DPH and rename their show. Expect heated debates over car battery voltages...

Jon Herold comes in Monday one day from Deadwood and GART, which means the show is lighter on prep and heavier on honesty. Reuters confirmed what Jon's source already told him: the White House has been sitting on the ODNI voting machine vulnerability report for months over concerns it could undermine voter confidence, and Jon asks the obvious question about what a limited hangout looks like if the...

CannCon and Zak Paine open GART week with a Monday show full of political fireworks before Deadwood. Trump called it on Truth Social over the weekend and it happened: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer resigns, becoming the seventh British leader in ten years. Zak connects Starmer's tenure to the Jimmy Savile prosecution he buried and the Pakistani rape gang cases he never brought. Colombia elects Tru...

Burning Bright brings Ashe in America on for Father's Day and the eve of GART Deadwood for a wide-ranging episode that earns its title. The two map out why Trump's second term has been more frictional than most truthers anticipated, why that friction is a feature, and why the Republican establishment quietly emerging from its cave right now is exactly what a counter striker wants. Ashe breaks down...

Jonathan Drake is still long winded, Section Two of Spooner's "Natural Law" is still just one paragraph, and yet somehow this takes an entire episode. Predictably, it earns every minute. The central distinction of the night is one that sounds simple until you think about it: being illegal is always immoral, but being immoral is not always illegal. Legal violations empower the executioner. Moral vi...

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open the Saturday show by finally finding the tape: CannCon saying, on video, that the gas price national average would hit $2.40 by July 4. Then things get serious. Tulsi Gabbard's final declassification releases get a full assessment and neither host is impressed. Russia collusion debunked again, Fauci lied to Congress again, Ukraine biolabs confirmed again. Chris Paul...

Episode 57 of Flow comes in hot the weekend before GART Deadwood with Cam Cooksey riding the high of attending the Czechia vs. South Africa World Cup match in Atlanta with Jackie. He walks through Trump's True Social posts: no tolls in the Strait of Hormuz, no money for Iran, the "not just 13, an unlucky number" Supreme Court signal buried in the filibuster post, and the May 1st "I have all the ca...

Phil Scarborough dropped a new AI-generated OnlyLands intro that the crew watched three times and still could not fully process. That set the tone. From there it is wall-to-wall World Cup energy: Cam fresh off the Czechia vs. South Africa match in Atlanta, viral videos of Europeans discovering Bass Pro Shops and Waffle House, a US team winning odds debate that got personal, and the pride jersey qu...

No slides, no homework, just a party. Host Matt Trump declares his Juneteenth independence from slide preparation and delivers a warm, wide-ranging World Cup Friday night hangout. The big story? Europeans arriving for the FIFA World Cup and discovering that America is nothing like what their media told them. Buc-ee's, Waffle House, giant grocery stores, air conditioning, window screens, and the sh...

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince are back in a pre-recorded episode packed with substance. Nearly two thirds of American men are overweight or obese, but for the first time in 50 years obesity rates have ticked down. Is it MAHA, peptides, or just economic stress cutting back the Cheez-It budget? RFK sends a formal letter demanding answers from a medical journal that quietly removed a study linking va...

Ghost opens episode 115 on the day the Iran deal is officially ratified at Versailles, the Strait of Hormuz is declared open, and CENTCOM lifts the naval blockade entirely. But within hours, Israeli armor columns push north of the Litani River toward Nabatia, four IDF soldiers are killed including a battalion chief, and Iran cancels JD Vance's Geneva meeting in protest. Ghost walks through who act...

Jon Herold comes in on Juneteenth in surprisingly good spirits and with a lot to sort through. Tulsi Gabbard released her COVID declass video on her final day as DNI, and Jon's take is the same as it always has been: Fauci directing the intelligence community to suppress the lab leak was already true in 2021 and her saying it now does not make it more true, though it might finally convince the peo...

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week on Juneteenth with a show that covers geopolitics, the courts, and an intelligence battle playing out in real time. JD Vance holds a press conference confirming the Iran MOU is producing results: 12.5 million barrels moved through the Strait of Hormuz the prior night, gas prices dropping below $4, and Iran honoring the agreement for the second night runnin...

Chris Paul and Burning Bright close out the trilogy with Francis Ford Coppola's much maligned 1990 finale The Godfather Part III, now known as The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. Starring Al Pacino, Andy Garcia, Diane Keaton, and George Hamilton, the film tracks Michael's failed attempt to leave the criminal world by going legitimate through a foundation and a Vatican real estate de...

CannCon and Alpha Warrior open with a tribute to a Marine major who kept calling fire missions through morphine and a broken body, then the show takes a hard left into the most ridiculed shark attack story in podcasting history. Alpha's Marine Corps nickname is Sharky, and the story behind it stretches credibility from the first sentence to the last. CannCon and the chat spend the better part of a...

Frank welcomes Logan from Luminary Lighthouse for his debut on the show, and the topic is the lost age of the rigid airship. The Hindenburg is the spine of the conversation: a luxury hotel in the sky that could circumnavigate the globe without refueling, that carried tens of thousands of passengers without a single injury before May 1937, and that died in a few televised minutes in Lakehurst. Why...

After roughly seven years and 132 episodes on Badlands, Taking it Back wraps up with the full crew back together: Adel Nero, Zak Paine, and Frankie Val. They open with a long reminiscence, from Patriot Soapbox and the early Q days to Adel's decision to finally show his face, Frank's brave early example, and Zak getting hooked on the boards before there was a public movement. From there, the conver...

President Trump hosts a Congressional Medal of Honor ceremony for three recipients spanning Vietnam, the Easter Offensive of 1972, and Afghanistan. Marine Corps Major James Capers Jr. receives the honor he was recommended for in 1967, delayed nearly six decades after his commanding officer was killed before the paperwork could be signed. Colonel John W. Ripley is honored posthumously for single-ha...

CannCon and Ashe in America finish Part 1 of G. Edward Griffin's The Creature from Jekyll Island and the country-by-country bailout autopsy is relentless. Panama's canal gets handed to a dictator so his banks can collect interest. The Monetary Control Act of 1980 quietly authorizes the Federal Reserve to create money for any government on earth. Mexico defaults serially, gets currency swaps, debt...

Ghost and Ashe in America walk through Season 4 Episode 4, the aftermath of Reyma's death. Quintus gets demoted, not for killing a Jew but for killing a Roman citizen in front of a crowd, because in Rome the offense was always optics. Gaius gets elevated to Praetor with a heart that has already been quietly converting for months, slapping the water every day without realizing what it was building...
