Jon Herold pre records a lighter Thursday show ahead of a Florida trip, walking through John Solomon's latest declassified documents on a 2020 Maricopa County voter data hack that the Biden Justice Department never prosecuted, though he admits the release feels underwhelming compared to what he was hoping for. He covers the Senate Homeland Security Committee voting to hold Fauci in contempt of Con...

Ashe in America and Ghost kick off Season 5 of The Chosen, and this season comes with a twist: nearly the entire storyline unfolds inside the final six days before the Last Supper, told in a way one host compares to a Christopher Nolan film. Episode one opens on Palm Sunday, and the hosts dig into how differently each disciple carries themselves as the crowds cheer, with Judas especially swept up...

CannCon and Alpha Warrior dig into a wild Michigan Senate primary where a DSA backed candidate just overcame a mountain of establishment money and a Whitmer endorsement to beat out the party favorite, setting up a fascinating general election matchup. They play through commentary connecting the win to deeper Muslim Brotherhood ties and unpack a surprising story about a longtime blue blooded Democr...

Jon Herold and Burning Bright dig deep into Andrew McCabe's own handwritten memos, piecing together the timeline from his firing to the launch of the investigation into Trump, complete with a Kamala Harris clip grilling McCabe that adds some extra context. It's detail heavy stuff, the kind of episode where the receipts do most of the talking. The second half takes a sharper turn, with Burning Brig...

After nearly two years off the live mic, GMoney reunites with Patriots in Progress (Pip) for a wide-ranging, unhurried conversation that treats the current Bitcoin chaos as almost the calmest thing in the room. The two old comrades compare notes on surviving fifth-generation warfare, toxic maximalism, and the exhausting theater of geopolitics, arguing that stepping back is the only way to stay san...

Shipwreck welcomes Bigfoot specialist Snake, who claims to have found and preserved an actual specimen in the Adirondacks, and the conversation goes places you would not expect. They compare his find to the legendary Giant of Kandahar, debate Nephilim theories, and get into the government attention, harassment, and outright threats he says followed once he went public at the New York State Fair. S...

Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast and Chris Ponder take a 50,000 foot view this week, framing the whole "tools for truth" project through a military lens: the OODA loop. Observe, orient, decide, act, and whoever moves through that loop faster wins, whether it's a battlefield or the information war we're all living in. Kwast draws on everything from Sun Tzu to John Boyd to explain why speed and clari...

Dana White introduces the President in Las Vegas, and from there it's a full throttle rally covering everything from no tax on tips (which started, fittingly, with a tip from a Vegas waitress at dinner) to no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, and the wildly popular Trump savings accounts. Expect record breaking economic numbers, a proud rundown of border security wins, a fiery, extended...

Jon Herold spends most of Hump Day walking through newly declassified documents revealing a previously unknown FBI investigation, codenamed "Oxford comma," opened into Trump for allegedly acting as a Russian agent just seven days after he fired James Comey. He builds out a detailed timeline connecting Comey's leaked memos, the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, and internal FBI texts s...

CannCon and Ashe dig into a growing chorus of Democratic voices, from Chuck Schumer on down, floating the idea of abolishing or reforming the Senate entirely, tying it back to the broader DSA takeover conversation from recent weeks. They play a stack of clips including Pete Buttigieg making the case against the Electoral College this week and connect the dots on why this messaging is suddenly ever...

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid welcome Gabe from Good Bru for a rundown on gut health before diving into a packed news cycle. They break down a General Flynn post that got a surprising reply, unpack why the midterms may be the real hinge point for indictments and declassification, and lay out a theory on how the Epstein files saga has been playing out in phases behind the scenes. There is talk of a p...

Episode 182 opens with CannCon and Ashe in America riffing on boy bands before settling into the serious stuff, including a look at some very professional audience-manipulation research aimed at the 2026 midterms and a Fauci contempt theory involving the Fifth Amendment and the Supremacy Clause. Then New York's own Marly Hornik joins to tell her story, from New York Citizens Audit and Andrew Paque...

Jon Herold celebrates his 36th birthday with a lighthearted, slower newsday, opening with chat banter and sponsor shoutouts before digging into a striking story about retired American four star generals who allegedly ran a decades long back channel with a Chinese military intelligence front, some reportedly ending up on China's payroll. He also covers Trump's public frustration with DC's US Attorn...

CannCon flies solo again for the new Tuesday format and opens with a genuine legal deep dive, walking through why he has flipped his position on Anthony Fauci pleading the Fifth Amendment and laying out a theory for why a preemptive pardon might actually force him to testify truthfully or face prison either way. From there he revisits an old NFL story, breaking down just how badly the sports media...

Ashe in America teams up with CannCon for a crossover episode built around a document Ashe stumbled on, a full playbook, framework, and communications guide aimed at shaping how Americans feel about democracy and elections. Together they dig into the so called "Democracy Audience Map," a tool built to sort voters into segments and craft messaging designed to move each group toward a specific set o...

Jon Herold and Zak Paine settle into their newly renovated studio for a deep dive that spans four decades of one very familiar face: Dr. Anthony Fauci. Starting with the early days of the AIDS epidemic, the guys trace Fauci's role in pushing AZT as the only approved treatment, question how the drug actually performed, and pull in archival footage that lines up uncomfortably well with his later han...

Ghost breaks his own show's no-news-cycle rule for this one, and he'll tell you exactly why. After watching Laura Loomer pivot from anti-Ukraine to interviewing Zelensky and, worse, framing Azov Battalion founder Andriy Biletsky as a hero, Ghost decided it was time to set the record straight. He walks through Biletsky's murky background: the 2011 imprisonment, the release after the 2014 Maidan cou...

Matthew Ehret takes the Fauci hearings and asks the question nobody in the room seems to want answered: what if the Wuhan lab leak story, however true, is still only half the picture? This episode digs into the sprawling network of over 300 opaque, largely unregulated Pentagon run biolabs scattered across the globe, from Ukraine to Georgia to South Korea, and traces how figures like former MI6 chi...

Ashe kicks things off with a wild weekend recap that has it all: a Rockies game interrupted by a sudden typhoon, footage good enough that AccuWeather asked to use it, and a lengthy political debate with a very Trump deranged stranger she refused to back down from. It somehow ends in a hug and an offer of free drinks, so make of that what you will. Christy and Jackie jump in with a deep dive into h...

Trump signs an executive order creating the first ever Presidential Military Spouse Commission, chaired by Jennifer Hegseth, and the ceremony turns into a genuinely touching series of stories from spouses who've spent decades supporting the military through moves, deployments, and everything in between. Then the press conference pivots hard, covering active back channel talks with Iran over the St...

Alpha Warrior is running on Cuban People Time again, so CannCon and Cam open the show riffing on tardiness, StreamYard's meltdown, and beard-maintenance logistics before the man of the hour finally strolls in from an Uber with no AirPods. The heart of this one is a full ESPN season preview for the crew's teams, and it gets brutal. Cam has to sit through the Falcons projected at roughly two wins, t...

Jon Herold opens birthday week with Trump's back and forth Truth Social posts on Iran, alternating between canceling a planned strike and blasting Tehran as duplicitous, while poking fun at how many times the administration has claimed victory in the conflict. He digs into a Michigan cyclospora outbreak, weighs in on the ongoing General Flynn controversy over foreign lobbying payments while urging...

CannCon and Zak Paine open with a hard look at trillions in wasted federal grant money, weaving in a debate about prison labor reform and why illegal immigrants so often end up first in line for programs like Habitat for Humanity while everyday Americans get left behind. The main event is a two part clip of RFK Jr going toe to toe with a CNN anchor, calmly dismantling her talking points in what th...

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid open with a warning: if last week annoyed you, tonight will too. The heart of the episode is a plea for critical thinking, the difference between questioning your government (encouraged) and subversion dressed up as concern, and why echoing someone else's take means you do not actually own the belief. From there they go big picture. Josh frames the culture war as engine...

Burning Bright welcomes back Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast for a conversation about Trump's relationship with time, mechanistic, esoteric, and everything in between. They open by questioning why so much commentary fixates on Iran and geopolitics when the real step change moves may be sitting in plain sight, in executive orders on energy, nuclear regulatory reform, and data center infrastructure....
