CannCon and Ashe in America are back in their new Tuesday time slot with a loaded show. First up, a full Tina Peters case update: Judge Barrett refuses to disqualify himself, a renewed bond motion is pending, the habeas petition is in the Tenth Circuit, and presidential pardon arguments are heading to SCOTUS. Then the show moves to Texas' mid-decade redistricting maps, upheld by the Supreme Court...

Ghost opens episode 102 with a striking observation: mainstream outlets are now describing Iran's post-war power structure in terms that amount to an admission of devolution without ever using the word. With Khamenei dead and his son Mashtaba serving as a figurehead, real authority has consolidated inside the IRGC and the Supreme National Security Council. Ghost breaks down what this means for ong...

In a historic first, King Charles III becomes the first reigning British monarch to address a joint session of the United States Congress, arriving during the state visit marking America's 250th anniversary of independence. President Trump opens with warm remarks on the White House lawn, tracing the shared Anglo Saxon heritage that shaped American liberty before the king takes the Capitol. Charles...

Attorney General Pam Bondi, US Attorney Ellis Boyle, and FBI Director Kash Patel take the podium in the Eastern District of North Carolina to announce that a grand jury has returned a two count felony indictment against former FBI Director James Comey for threatening the life of President Trump in a May 2025 Instagram post. Each count carries a maximum of ten years in prison. Patel confirms Comey...

Jon Herold is excited today and has the documents to back it up. Newly declassified FBI records released by Senator Grassley lay out the Clinton Foundation investigation in detail, and Jon finds the timeline revelation that has him reaching for his mind map. The FBI opened the Clinton Foundation investigation in January 2016, and then on August 1, the very day after Crossfire Hurricane was opened...

CannCon and Ghost open Tuesday with a show that spans elections, geopolitics, and five centuries of empire. The Virginia Supreme Court holds its hearing on the redistricting referendum, and Ghost, who livestreamed it, gives his read: the justices were picking up on every constitutional violation he had flagged, and he expects a 5-2 or 6-1 overturn. Trump posts the Save America Act demanding voter...

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open Episode 182 with a breakdown of the Cole Allen assassination attempt on Trump, the mysterious Henry Martinez Twitter account, and why time travel is the only theory that fully explains it (spoiler: it probably isn't). They also touch on DiGenova's withdrawn subpoenas and Grassley handing Clinton Foundation documents to the DOJ. Then the show goes deep. A scathing open...

Ashe goes solo for the first time on Culture of Change and wastes zero time. From the Tina Peters case getting another appeal to the SPLC indictment exposing a decade-long lawfare playbook, this episode is a masterclass in connecting the legal dots. Add in a suspicious scene at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, SCOTUS backing Texas redistricting, Colorado defying the Supreme Court on convers...

In Chapter 50, Ghost walks through the actual war that erupted in Eastern Ukraine following the 2014 Maidan coup, covering the timeline from the Donetsk and Luhansk separatist declarations all the way through the Minsk Two agreement of 2015. He breaks down the MH17 shootdown, the competing narratives around who fired the missile, and why the Western media's version may not hold up. Ghost also exam...

Who funds white supremacists? Apparently the Southern Poverty Law Center, to the tune of millions. Matt Ehret uses this jaw-dropping revelation as a launchpad into one of the most important recurring themes in modern history: the left/right dialectic as a top-down intelligence operation. From COINTELPRO and FBI-manufactured terror cells to the Scottish Rite networks that engineered the American Ci...

The ladies are back with cough attacks, sun-peeling leprosy jokes, and a Michael Jackson biopic recap that somehow leads to a tutorial on stop, drop, and roll. Ashe takes the wheel for a packed This Week in U.S. History segment covering the Ludlow Massacre, Columbine, John Adams getting big mad about being VP, the Battle of San Jacinto, Apollo 16 (allegedly), the Oklahoma Land Run, the Easter Risi...

Alpha's out again (sick kid), so CannCon, Cam, and a fashionably late JB hold down the fort for a packed episode. The guys kick things off raving about the Michael Jackson biopic and debating whether MJ is the most famous human being who ever lived (spoiler: they think yes). From there it's a full NHL playoff bracket breakdown, a genuinely moving moment from the NFL Draft when a Navy sailor walks...

White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt opens an unscheduled briefing days before her maternity leave to address the third assassination attempt on President Trump, which occurred Saturday at the White House Correspondents Association dinner. A shooter attempted to breach the security perimeter and was immediately neutralized. One Secret Service agent took a bullet to the chest and was saved...

Jon Herold comes in calm on a Monday that is anything but. There was an alleged assassination attempt on Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner over the weekend, and Jon is less interested in whether it was real than in watching what it does to the online truth community in real time. Spoiler: it is not pretty. Camps are forming, influencers are having emotional meltdowns, and the Q commu...

CannCon and Zak Paine open the week with a deep, wide-ranging breakdown of the White House Correspondents' Dinner assassination attempt. Cole Allen, a California teacher with ties to far-left groups No Kings and The Wide Awakes, rushed a magnetometer at the Washington Hilton with a pistol and shotgun and fired before being stopped by Secret Service. The guys go through his full manifesto, which re...

JB White is back to full strength and not wasting it. He opens with a pointed look at the White House Correspondents' Dinner incident, praising Pete Hegseth's instincts while raising sharp questions about Secret Service response and pre-event vetting. He also digs into the gunman's profile, framing him as a textbook educated fool, and takes on Barack Obama's claim of ignorance about the attacker's...

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid pull no punches in Episode 24. Alpha uses his law enforcement background to break down the third assassination attempt on President Trump at the White House Correspondents dinner, the Secret Service response, and why calling it staged is flat-out disrespectful to the people who actually stopped it. Then the guys pivot to the SPLC indictment, Tim Cook's resignation, and...

Burning Bright and Ghost take the term "New World Order" and flip it on its head. In the first half, they map out the sovereign alliance's multipolar reconstruction: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Syria, and Iran quietly building rail corridors and new security architectures while NATO and the EU are the ones actually freaking out. Ghost brings a stunning theory about Iranian missile strikes destroy...

Episode 27 told you WHY to question consensus physics. Episode 28 actually starts doing it. Jonathan Drake and Polymath, a formally trained engineer who had his physics worldview shattered on 9/11, dive into the oldest unresolved debate in science: is reality made of particles or a medium? They break down atomism versus ether theory in terms any curious person can follow, and introduce a deceptive...

Jon Herold sits down with his friend Jordan Sather of Conscious Strength for a wide open conversation that covers a lot of ground. From flunking out of Washington State University to building one of the more honest supplement brands in the alternative media space, Jordan doesn't sugarcoat his journey or his industry. He breaks down why big name supplement products are wildly overpriced, how corpor...

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open an already packed Saturday show to breaking news: a gunman breached security at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, setting off a chaotic media response. The guys break down the event in real time, analyzing the official story, the shooter's profile, the lax security setup, Trump's immediate press conference pivoting to the ballroom, and why the level of public s...

Cam Cooksey brings on special cohost Caleb Epp for a deep, no-holds-barred conversation. The two dig into Trump's True Social posts on Iran negotiations, the lingering blockade, and the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire extension. They wade into whether JD Vance is controlled by defense interests and what Peter Thiel's influence on the presidency could mean long term. A debated clip raises questions about...

What happens when a doctor follows the rules, saves lives during a pandemic, and gets indicted by his own government anyway? Alpha Warrior sits down with Dr. Ron Elfenbein, the Johns Hopkins-trained ER physician who built one of the country's first drive-up COVID testing operations, pioneered the "test to treat" monoclonal antibody model adopted nationwide, and was personally honored by Maryland's...

The crew is fully assembled this week, plus a guest appearance from Caleb, who kicks things off by casually mentioning he served legal papers to an unstable stalker at a GOP event for fifty bucks. Just a normal Thursday in Colorado. From there, the conversation takes a sharp turn into wealth, power, and money systems as the gang unpacks whether we are living through a Second Gilded Age, what Bitco...

Was Amy Eskridge killed because of what she knew about antigravity? Host Matt Trump, a physicist, actually watched her lecture to find out. What he found was a talented, balanced science communicator who probably wasn't doing cutting-edge classified research, but whose story opens a fascinating window into decades of gravity modification experiments, disappeared researchers, and suppressed science...
