Jon Herold comes in Wednesday with guests in the house, Trump landing in his hometown of Bismarck on the new Air Force One's first flight, and a source update that is carefully honest about what it does and does not say. A White House task force led by John Solomon and Derek Harvey is quietly gathering thousands of pages of 2020 election intelligence from the CIA, NSA, ODNI, FBI, and DOJ for decla...

CannCon and Ashe in America open July with the 250th anniversary countdown underway and a Wednesday show packed with vindication and consequence. CannCon's canary trap theory on the fake Alito retirement story gets picked up by Miranda Devine and hits a million views, as Nina Totenberg's bizarre on-air apology only strengthens the case that a Supreme Court leaker just got caught. CannCon and Ashe...

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid come back from the Great American Restoration Tour in Deadwood with the forty thousand foot view sharpened. They open with the MK Ultra hearings where Dr. Kinzer basically confirmed under oath that MK Ultra never actually ended, then chase Anna Paulina Luna's tease that influencer disclosures are coming and unpack how private corporate intelligence agencies really move...

CannCon and Ashe in America open with the highlights from GART 12 in Deadwood, where the audience acquitted them in a mock ECPA trial built around a fictional near-future where questioning elections is a federal crime. From there, the show shifts to a fact-check of Trump's Truth Social post welcoming Tina Peters to the White House, where Ashe corrects the record on her age, her isolation condition...

Jon Herold comes back from GART fired up about a Supreme Court that had a very busy few days. Birthright citizenship survives, Trump's executive order gets struck down, and Justice Thomas writes a 90-page dissent Jon agrees with completely. The Slaughter case overturns a 91-year-old precedent and hands Trump significantly more power to remove executive branch officials, which Trump is rightly cele...

CannCon and Zak Paine, fresh off GART in Deadwood, cover the Supreme Court's biggest decision day of the term as rulings drop live on air. The court upholds Title IX protections for biological female sports 6-3 in West Virginia v. BPJ, strikes down coordinated party spending limits in NRSC v. FEC, and expands presidential firing power over independent agencies by overturning 91 years of precedent....

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open Episode 191 fresh off the Great American Restoration Tour conference in Deadwood, swapping stories from the weekend, including a Secret Service motorcade sighting ahead of a Trump visit and the new trial by jury experience that debuted at the event. The main topic is heavy: the Yemenite Children Affair, a documented Israeli government scandal in which as many as 4,500...

Zak Paine and Ghost hold down Monday's show solo while CannCon travels back from GART, and they cover a weekend full of overlapping stories across three continents. Trump's weekend Truth Social post warning about communism finding its moment looks almost prophetic within hours, as California State Senator Scott Wiener gets publicly heckled at a trans march and again at dinner by his own coalition...

Chris Paul and Burning Bright return from Gart to break down Gore Verbinski's 2025 dark sci fi comedy Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, written by Matthew Robinson and starring Sam Rockwell, Juno Temple, Haley Lou Richardson, Michael Pena, and Zazie Beetz. The premise is delightfully strange. A man from the future shows up at a Los Angeles diner on his 117th attempt to recruit the exact right combin...

Tesla once wrote that he hoped to live long enough to see "Bulwer's dream realized." Turns out that is a real reference, and Matt Ehret spends Part 2 unpacking exactly what it means. The dream belongs to Sir Edward Bulwer-Lytton, a 19th century novelist whose fictional tale of a hidden super race wielding a mysterious energy called Vril went on to directly shape Madame Blavatsky's Theosophy, Aleis...

Former ICE Denver Field Office Director John Fabbricatore joins Ashe for a conversation that goes well beyond talking points. He was there in Aurora when Tren de Aragua took over an apartment complex, while Colorado officials insisted it was a Republican fabrication. He was inside HHS trying to locate the hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children the Biden administration let into the country...

Jon Herold, Chris Paul, and Burning Bright broadcast live and freezing from a deck in Deadwood, South Dakota for GART weekend, and somehow still manage to get into the substance. Trump's truth post calling out the American energy cartel gets a full breakdown, with Burning Bright connecting it back to January's oil executive dinner and floating a theory that Trump may be laying groundwork for an ac...

CannCon and Chris Paul bring Badlands Daily live from GART 12 in Deadwood, South Dakota with a Friday show full of Supreme Court decisions and congressional takedowns. Venezuela is hit with back to back 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude earthquakes as the country was beginning its reintegration into global trade, and Trump immediately offers federal assistance. The Brandon Gill versus SNAP hearing clip goes v...

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid had to actively look for things to be sad about this week and could not find any. Yesterday and today the White House went full blown Q in public for the first time. The "Q means Quantum" post hid a special character at line 48, which decodes to Q drop 48 about Q clearance and the Department of Energy. The fake Always Trust 47 post landed at 14:25 Eastern, which decodes...

Ghost opens episode 116 with Trump's latest gaggle confirming the Hormuz naval blockade is history, US farmers are getting paid to feed Iran, and critics like Ted Cruz need to be "educated" on the deal's terms. The IAEA inspections dispute gets the full treatment: Ghost breaks down how Iran only denied inspecting its bombed facilities, not all facilities, and why the media is deliberately misrepre...

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...
