Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid open with an unsettling pattern. Tulsi Gabbard's husband Abraham just got hit with a rare bone cancer, Pam Bondi has been quietly fighting thyroid cancer for months, and Alpha walks through the Judith Vary Baker SV40 history that suggests the deep state has had weaponized cancer biotech since the 1950s. His takeaway is direct. John Ratcliffe needs to go either way, and the intelligence community needs to be consolidated down to one or two agencies. From there, the boys celebrate. Ken Paxton crushed John Cornyn sixty four to thirty six in Texas, Trump's endorsement record in 2026 just hit one hundred seventeen and zero, and the RNC is sitting on a hundred twenty four million dollars in cash while the Democrat party is actually negative three million in the hole. ActBlue and USAID drying up has consequences. Plus the Camp David fake out as a tickle the wire baited operation, Trump's Q plus retruth and the War CTO timestamps, Stephen Miller saying fraud alone would balance the federal budget, the Tucker Carlson Qatar investigation, the Save America Act setup, and Alpha's Epstein DNA harvesting deep dive into Regina Dugan, New Albany Company, 23andMe, and the final Q post about the war for your DNA.

CannCon and Ashe in America bring on cybersecurity expert Clay Parikh and retired Col. Shawn Smith to break down the CISA GitHub credential leak, in which AWS GovCloud server access keys and workspace passwords were stored in plain text in a CSV file and left exposed for up to six months. Col. Smith explains why CISA has never had the cyber talent or leadership to secure critical infrastructure, and why the damage from a breach like this is almost certainly unknowable and irreversible without burning the systems entirely. Clay Parikh walks through how credential exposure at the cloud level branches into full network access, compares the failure to the Colorado BIOS password scandal, and explains why Jenna Griswold's office violated CISA's own remediation guidelines after that breach. The conversation expands to Albert Sensors, the CIS public-private partnership backdoor, and how local election officials are given infrastructure far beyond their ability to secure or audit. Parikh also responds to The Atlantic hit piece targeting him, noting that his technical claims have never been technically refuted and that the pressure campaign against him escalated precisely as federal election investigations intensified.

Ghost opens episode 108 with Tulsi Gabbard's resignation as DNI, her husband's rare bone cancer diagnosis, and a deep look at her military background in psychological operations that makes her one of the most uniquely positioned figures in the Trump administration. Ghost then maps out the Iran peace deal taking shape: Trump's Truth Social post quoting Iran's president saying they are not seeking nuclear weapons, Mark Levin and Ted Cruz in full panic, and Rob Malley confirming Israel refuses to stop attacking Lebanon as part of any deal. Saudi Arabia repeats its firm red line: no normalization without a Palestinian state, no matter what Zionist media claims. Netanyahu responds to Trump's peace push by launching Operation Arrows of Fury into Lebanon's Beqaa Valley, and Ghost maps Israel's advancing yellow line toward Beirut. Israel's economy shrank 3.3% in Q1 2026, and a former Netanyahu ally publicly calls for a military coup. Raul Castro is indicted by the Miami DOJ, a former US attorney is charged for stealing Mar-a-Lago documents, Trump meets Xi in China on Kissinger's Grand Triangle framework, and the US slashes NATO contributions. Ghost closes with a full breakdown of the geopolitical chess theory: why Trump keeps his enemies playing the game instead of flipping the table.

Jon Herold comes in Tuesday on a slow news day that gets more interesting as it goes. Tim Burchett posted a video referencing a podcast where someone asked him whether Jews have too much control in Washington, and Jon is pretty sure he knows which podcast Burchett is talking about. He watches it twice, compares it to the actual question he asked, and lands on a point that matters more than the drama: if AIPAC money runs to Congress in the tens of millions while nobody asks tough questions, that is a foreign influence problem regardless of which country it comes from. The Iran ceasefire is wobbling after the US military conducted self-defense strikes on IRGC launch sites and boats around the Strait of Hormuz, Iran is threatening retaliation, and the deal is stalled over nuclear language and sanctions. James Comey's trial just got pushed from July to October 21, with the defense planning constitutional dismissal motions in July, and Jon is not surprised. Ken Paxton and John Cornyn are finishing the most expensive senate race in history, Jon puts zero stock in Kalshi's predictions, and a new internal DOJ email story about the Mar-a-Lago raid turns out to be a probable rerun of something John Solomon wrote two years ago.

CannCon and Ghost open Tuesday fresh off Memorial Day with a show that does not waste a single minute. An Escondido army veteran who flew Trump flags outside his home dies from an unprovoked beating, and CannCon and Ghost frame it as the inevitable product of years of normalized political violence. Axios floats AOC, Elizabeth Warren, and Gavin Newsom for 2028 in the same breath it publishes a hit piece on Trump's "irreversible choices," and CannCon fact-checks every bullet point live. Ghost delivers his framework on why the Republican Party is not MAGA's party and never was, and CannCon plays the Cape Cod taxpayer speech that has been going viral as the model for what grassroots self-organization actually looks like. The GOP Senate civil war is front and center: Republican senators are threatening to tank the reconciliation bill over the anti-weaponization fund and the ballroom, both of which involve zero taxpayer money. Ghost plays Tim Burchett insisting AIPAC money is no big deal because Jews are only two percent of the population, then plays John Podhoretz saying out loud that Jewish money will be used to destroy any candidate perceived as antisemitic. Ghost then presents the Israeli government's own approved budget allocating $750 million to influence American politics through online influencers.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open Episode 186 on Memorial Day with Jon describing how he found a lone star tick crawling up his arm the night before, making the follow-up to last week's tick episode feel extremely personal. The full hour is dedicated to tracing the documented history of US government tick and insect bioweapons programs. Jon walks through Nazi scientist Dr. Eric Traub, brought to America under Operation Paperclip in 1945, who set up the Plum Island research facility nine miles from Lyme, Connecticut. USDA National Archives files bearing Traub's name and labeled "tick research" were found empty. Jon then walks through a series of declassified programs: Operation Sea Spray spraying bacteria over San Francisco Bay civilians in 1950, bacteria-filled light bulbs smashed in the New York City subway in 1962, plague and flea drops over Cuba, and 282,800 radioactive lone star ticks released across Virginia between 1966 and 1969 that reached Long Island by 1970. The episode closes with the most damning piece: a 2013 filmed interview in which Dr. Willie Bergdorfer, the scientist who officially "discovered" Lyme disease, admitted on camera that the Borrelia pathogen causing modern Lyme disease was the same one he had created as a US military bioweapons agent in 1952.

What if Roswell never happened? In this episode, Matt Ehret dismantles the foundational stone of the entire UFO disclosure movement piece by piece. From Lawrence Rockefeller personally lobbying the Clinton White House to release UFO files, to forged Majestic 12 documents typed on machines built decades after the supposed date, to a CIA director's memo describing UFOs as a psychological warfare tool, to a stage magician publicly admitting he faked the 1995 alien autopsy broadcast, the evidence points in one direction. The civilian UFO research groups were founded by CIA directors. The key whistleblowers were disinformation operatives. The Hollywood films required government collusion. Ehret also introduces the Aviary, a covert intelligence network of operatives with bird code names managing the entire misinformation pipeline. The myth was always the product. Roswell was just where they launched it.

Ghost and Colonel Towner Watkins deliver a sweeping two-host examination of Henry Kissinger, the man at the center of nearly every major globalist operation of the twentieth century. From his OSS Ritchie Boy origins and his CIA-funded Harvard institute to his dual role as national security adviser and secretary of state, Kissinger operated as the connective tissue between the Rockefellers, the Fabian Society, and the deep state apparatus. Ghost and the Colonel trace his fingerprints on the Chilean coup, the petrodollar deal, the Nixon-China opening, Operation Cyclone and the birth of Al Qaeda, the Iran-Iraq war arms sales, and the Khashoggi-Epstein money laundering network. They also connect Kissinger to the founding of the World Economic Forum, the Trilateral Commission, and the Pilgrim Society, the institutions now being dismantled by the Trump administration. A dense, interconnected deep dive into the architect of the rules-based international order.

Jon Herold comes in on Memorial Day a little lighter than usual, kids are in the backyard on the slip and slide, and the news is slow enough to get real about some things that need saying. The biggest one: everybody is getting very excited about the reports Tulsi Gabbard is expected to release before she leaves, covering Havana syndrome, COVID origins, and 2020 election fraud. Jon is asking the questions nobody wants to sit with: why are these reports being rushed out because she is leaving, were they always going to come on this timeline, and is a report released under these circumstances going to be complete or a limited hangout? Trump posted a lengthy Memorial Day Truth Social mandating that Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Jordan all sign the Abraham Accords simultaneously with any Iran deal, calling it the most historic document ever signed. Jon reads every word. Orange County had a cracked chemical tank threatening 40,000 residents before stabilizing. Jon is skeptical Spencer Pratt can overcome LA County's election system regardless of how well he campaigns. A former federal prosecutor was just indicted for allegedly trying to steal sealed Jack Smith documents, and Jon gives it measured credit while pointing out it is not quite the accountability he is actually waiting for.

CannCon and Zak Paine open a packed Memorial Day Monday with a salute to fallen brothers and a show full of enormous developments. Trump skips Don Junior's wedding to stay at the White House, and instead of an Iran strike, he announces a broad peace memorandum of understanding with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain. Israel is conspicuously absent from the signatory list and receives only a separate phone call. The neocon wing explodes: Cruz, Graham, Pompeo, and Levin all melt down publicly, and White House spokesman Stephen Chung tells Pompeo on the record that he has no idea what he is talking about and should shut his mouth. Tulsi Gabbard resigns as DNI after her husband Abraham is diagnosed with a rare and fast-moving bone cancer. CannCon and Zak flag that her replacement is a 20-year CIA officer, arriving exactly as the CIA-versus-DNI battle reaches its peak. Catherine Herridge confirms the CIA was tracking every keystroke of Gabbard's DIG team, with an IT work order proving someone requested the surveillance deliberately. Republican senators screamed at Todd Blanche in a closed door meeting over the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund. J6 convictions are vacated. A federal judge dismisses human smuggling charges against Abrego Garcia calling them vindictive prosecution.

Jon Herold sits down with Jeanine Garcia of A Bit of Whimsy, a boutique tucked into a 100 year old building in Iron River, Michigan, right in the heart of the Upper Peninsula. What started as a whispered phrase during a quiet moment staring across the street at a building for sale became a faith driven leap into small town retail. Jeanine walks Jon through the two and a half year renovation, the gut punch of being almost ready to open when COVID hit, and how a phrase she heard in 2017 suddenly made sense in the dark summer of 2020. She also shares the real challenge of sourcing 85% American made goods, why she keeps losing her favorite domestic clothing companies, and how sales at the boutique are finally trending upward after years of decline. Plus, she is bringing a pop up shop to the Deadwood GART and encourages everyone to check their closet tags. You might be surprised.

Episode 53 of Flow drops on Memorial Day weekend with Cam Cooksey navigating a live breaking news situation and tying it all back to God's frequency. A shooter identified as William Sexton, a trans-Democrat activist angry about the US-Iran peace deal, fires on a White House checkpoint and is neutralized by Secret Service. Cam reads the unfolding reports live and lands on a false flag theory with MK Ultra overtones. The 440 Hz versus 432 Hz frequency debate sparks from a chat comment, with Cam connecting 440 standardization to the day Hitler invaded Poland, Havana Syndrome, and weaponized sound. Cam shares his reaction to finally watching Vibes 2 by Rise Attire, reading the two closing quotes from the film live, including the JRR Tolkien quote extended by Rise Attire themselves. Kyle Busch's sudden death is noted with questions about cause. Memorial Day is honored with gratitude for those who gave everything. Double Americans of the Week: Carter Braxton and George Clymer, both Declaration signers who lost fortunes and kept their word anyway.

Part 6 of the ether series is where the rubber meets the road, or more accurately, where the light meets the wire. Jonathan Drake and Polymath revisit the Divided Line, the Golden Gnomon, and the water molecule before introducing two new concepts that reframe everything. First: the so-called speed of light is not a speed at all. It is the hysteresis rate of the ether, the rate at which the medium can compress, rarefy, and return to rest. Second, and more practically, electricity is not a stream of electrons bouncing around inside a wire. It is light with a boundary condition. Free range light becomes caged light the moment you give it a conductor to follow. Generators spin up little dielectric dynamos inside atoms. Radio towers release bounded light as radio waves. And when your wire gets too hot, it is because the dielectric stress exceeded the conductor's capacity and had to escape as heat, which is also just light. When you understand this, the word electricity starts to look very different.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open on yet another Saturday shooting outside the White House, this time involving Nazir Best of Maryland, and spend the first segment dissecting why the total evidence for the event is a sound on a video and a reporter ducking. Chris Paul pivots into the history of the Secret Service, tracing its origins to Lincoln's 1865 national currency centralization project, its function as a financial enforcement body, and why its post-9/11 move under DHS fits a pattern of embedding the global security state inside the American government beyond presidential reach. Then comes the week's biggest news: Tulsi Gabbard resigning as DNI effective June 30, with plans to release reports on Havana syndrome, COVID, and the 2020 election. Chris Paul frames these releases as limited hangouts designed to let the air out of each disclosure balloon and explains why the solution is withholding belief rather than waiting for permission from the government to know what you already know. The Iran peace cycle gets its full treatment: Trump's True Social post announcing a memorandum of understanding, Netanyahu's hair on fire, and the Thursday-peace-Monday-bombs pattern that has repeated without interruption for months. The show closes on the post-Civil War constitutional inversion thesis and George P. Fletcher's argument that the reconstruction amendments were passed at bayonet point.

GMoney emerges from the Coffey Bunker after a month off to deliver a Bitcoin Pizza Day episode stacked with cypherpunk history and clown world updates. The main event is a conversation with Paul Rosenberg, the cypherpunk pioneer, longtime author, and builder of the Crypto Hippie VPN whose anonymously published novel A Lodging of Wayfaring Men reads like a prequel to the Bitcoin white paper. Paul walks through the three moments that shaped his libertarian worldview, his run-ins with retiring NSA fans of his products, why he ignored Bitcoin at first, and why he thinks the purity of the protocol is what guarantees the world cannot stay the same. After the interview, GMoney rifles through the week: Iran accepting Bitcoin for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, the Clarity Act clearing committee on 5/13, Kevin Warsh confirmed as the seventeenth Fed chair, Admiral Paparo confirming the US runs a Bitcoin node, the ARMA bill, and a closing argument that opting out of the tax system is the only vote that actually counts.

Jaytriot is back, and the crew is glad to have him. He opens with a raw, honest account of his father's stroke, broken hip, UTI-induced hospital delirium, and the full-contact advocacy battle required just to keep an 87-year-old man from being discharged too early by a system turning over beds faster than bodies can heal. The episode pivots to Tulsi Gabbard leaving the DNI role after her husband Abraham is diagnosed with aggressive bone cancer, and what the new acting DNI Aaron Lucas's CIA background might mean for the office. The great admiral mask debate gets its most thorough airing yet, complete with a lighting expert Twitter thread, Zach's AI filter theory, and the crew ultimately landing on shadow. Matt then casually drops that in 1992 he snuck into post-Soviet Ukraine with $50, got adopted by factory workers on a train to the Black Sea, and spent weeks at a workers' vacation camp. Nobody blinks. World Cup 2026, John Hamm's fraternity crimes, and a Spencer Pratt mayoral update round out an unusually lively Friday night.

Xi Jinping invoked the Thucydides Trap in his meeting with Trump, and host Matt Trump has thoughts. Lots of them. In this episode, Matt traces the concept from its single-line origin in ancient Greek history through its revival by Harvard academic Graham Allison in 2012, where it became a sophisticated-sounding argument for American defeatism and Chinese inevitability. The problem? Allison's history is shoddy, his Athens and Sparta example ignores the Persian Empire pulling the strings behind the scenes, and he happens to be a Henry Kissinger protege tied directly to the City of London financial order. Matt also riffs on Bitcoin Pizza Day, the deep state law firm Sullivan and Cromwell getting caught submitting AI-hallucinated court documents, and the broader British imperial framework that Trump is currently working to dismantle.

Jordan Sather and Nate Prince dig into a week that felt like a nature documentary gone wrong. Ticks are surging across the Northeast and Midwest, alpha gal syndrome is quietly making red meat allergies a real and growing problem, and a peer reviewed bioethics paper from Western Michigan University actually argues scientists are morally obligated to gene-edit lone star ticks to spread alpha gal and push people away from meat. No, that is not satire. Meanwhile, the WHO and media are still flogging hantavirus and Ebola, and the Trump administration is still not biting. PFAS contamination sits in over 95% of Americans' bloodstreams, and Jordan breaks down where it comes from and how zeolite may help pull it out. RFK scores the largest autism fraud bust in US history, Dr. Oz keeps hammering Medicare and hospice fraud, and TrumpRx quietly adds 600 more generic drugs. Big pharma is apparently starting to sweat, with mass layoffs hitting Pfizer, Merck, Novo Nordisk, and more.

Jon Herold comes in Friday expecting a relatively calm show and discovers live on air that Tulsi Gabbard has just resigned as DNI. Her husband Abraham has been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, her last day is June 30, and Erin Lucas, a CIA operations officer and former Grinnell chief of staff, will serve as acting director. Jon reads Trump's statement, looks up Lucas's background live, and gives an honest reaction: this matters, and we should not pretend it does not. New Fed chair Kevin Warsh is confirmed with his first meeting set for June 16, and Jon is watching for the Powell investigation to quietly reopen. Jon also spends real time on the viral Fox News mask story, demonstrates live that studio lighting creates neck shadows, and asks the one question nobody has answered: what was the motive? Then chat member Phil Scarborough calls in with first-hand documentation of the 2022 Hines County, Mississippi election: 21 missing precincts, missing thumb drives, twelve hours of chaos, a candidate who could not afford the audit, and a Democratic commissioner who went public saying the machines were used to steal his own race. New UFO files dropped from the Department of War and Jon is still not impressed.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a Friday show that covers fearmongering, geopolitics, and a reconciliation bill meltdown. The Hantavirus narrative did not catch on, so Ebola is back: a passenger from the DRC accidentally boards a flight to Detroit, gets diverted to Montreal, and Marco Rubio confirms the US is funding 50 clinics in the DRC while keeping the disease out of the country. Chris Paul frames the whole sequence as a political pressure campaign designed to give impeachment-minded media another angle on Trump. CannCon continues watching the Venezuela playbook unfold in Cuba: Raul Castro indicted, Ratcliffe secretly in Havana, the Nimitz carrier group in the Caribbean, and Trump telling reporters the place is just falling apart and there is no need for military action. The DOJ's $1.76 billion anti-weaponization fund from Trump's personal IRS settlement sends Tom Tillis into a full meltdown on television, and CannCon and Chris Paul dismantle his framing piece by piece. Senate Republicans go home for Memorial Day instead of voting on the reconciliation bill, and the parliamentarian blocks the ballroom funding. CannCon also presents a canary trap theory: the J6 pardoned who do not apply for the fund may be exposing themselves as provocateurs.

Chris Paul is joined by his good friend Josh Capps, a literature professor and screenwriter from Louisiana, sitting in for Burning Bright. The two break down Warren Beatty's 1998 political satire Bulworth, which Beatty wrote, directed, and starred in opposite Halle Berry, Oliver Platt, Don Cheadle, Isaiah Washington, and a nearly silent Sean Astin. Josh argues the film sits on a fascinating cultural crux point. He thinks 1998 was the pivot year when Hollywood shifted toward heavy programming, citing The Truman Show, Deep Impact, Armageddon, and The Siege all landing in the same window. The guys dig into Bulworth's opening confession that political assassinations are just a normal Tuesday for a senator with a fixer on speed dial, the eerie parallel between Bulworth dropping the mask once he had a hit out on himself and the way Trump later dispensed with the political pretense entirely, and Aaron Sorkin's fingerprints on the worst Halle Berry monologues about NAFTA and manufacturing. They also wander through the rise of West Coast rap as a marketing tool aimed at young kids, Public Enemy's 1994 song calling out a fake World Health Organization pandemic, the hierarchy of corporate political influence, and the difference between memory and story.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior throw out the usual format and turn the show over to the audience for a Memorial Day special. Before the lines open, the guys go round and round on whether stolen elections are best called fake or fraudulent, with Alpha holding the line on stolen and gay over fake and gay. They cover Johnny Joey Jones reenlisting in the Marine Corps at 40 with no legs, what that signals about the civilian military force the CIA quietly admitted exists, and CannCon's own story of getting forced out by Obama-era downsizing after a shoulder reconstruction. Then the calls start rolling in. Kairos reads her original poem "Hey, Ron" written for her Vietnam vet neighbor. Claire Cat honors her dad, two uncles, and British father-in-law who served from Iwo Jima to the Battle of the Bulge to pulling pilots out of London's fields. Smay calls in from the regular Army era of 1970s pay. Space Monkey shares twenty nine Palms memories. Lion AZ tells the story of her granddaughter discovering she had a relative who served. Pan Blanco, age 84, remembers his recon Marine brother G. Edward Dyer. CannCon closes with a plug for the Mighty Oaks Warrior Program.

Adel Nero and Zak Paine are back together on a Thursday with Frankie Val popping in before heading to a wedding. The guys open on a stunning primary night that saw Trump endorsements go 37 for 37, with Cornyn collapsing in Texas the moment Paxton picked up the nod and a long list of establishment names like Crenshaw, Cassidy, Tillis, McConnell, Raffensperger, and Gabe Sterling all on the way out. From there, Zak makes the case that the GOP machine has spent years planting its weakest senators in the reddest states, and that pattern is finally breaking. The bulk of the episode is a layered breakdown of Thomas Massey's fall from principled outsider to opportunistic grifter, his late conversion to the Epstein issue, and why Trump zeroed in on his seat rather than going after Thune. The conversation closes on a sharper take: that the loudest pro-Israel and anti-Israel voices may be feeding off the same outrage budget, designed to fracture MAGA from within. Lots of nuance, very little hand wringing.

CannCon and Ashe in America close out Chapter 3 of G. Edward Griffin's The Creature from Jekyll Island and the hits keep coming. Continental Illinois triggers the world's first electronic bank run, and the FDIC quietly covers 96% of uninsured deposits while small banks down the street get shut down the same week. The chapter then jumps to 2008: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, TARP, the auto bailouts, and the Merrill Lynch forced merger. Henry Paulson engineers the demolition of his Goldman Sachs rivals while protecting his alma mater. Banks announce they "repaid" loans using other government money, and the whole thing gets called a success. By the end, the government quietly owns 56% of GMAC and 80% of AIG, but nobody calls it nationalization. CannCon and Ashe also compare the third and fifth editions of the book, finding key sections merged and updated. Griffin's second reason to abolish the Fed lands hard: it is not a protector of the public. It is a cartel operating against it.

Jon Herold comes in Thursday admittedly light on show prep and heavy on improvisation, which turns out to be a feature not a bug. Colorado Democrats just censured their own governor at a 90% vote for having the audacity to commute Tina Peters' sentence, and Jon asks whether this is a genuine internal party revolt or a coordinated effort to rehab Polis as a future national candidate. Former Biden deputy attorney general Lisa Monaco is now facing a DOJ referral alleging she shielded Microsoft from cybersecurity enforcement actions that her own office pursued against other, smaller contractors. Jon also picks up Joshua Bittle's thread on the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund: the real story is not the political optics, it is whether Trump used the Judgment Fund to bypass standard congressional appropriations, and what that means for executive power going forward. The American Reserve Modernization Act would authorize the US Treasury to acquire up to one million Bitcoin over five years and codify Trump's strategic Bitcoin reserve into law. Jon is skeptical Congress will pass it and loves the idea anyway. Trump also appeared somewhere with a man whose belly button demanded and received the full attention of the show for approximately fifteen minutes. Jon has no regrets.

Ghost and Ashe in America wrap season three of The Chosen with a recap episode that finally ties up the storylines they ran out of room for. Shula and Barnaby and what their quiet, ardent faith says about the difference between believing without seeing and walking next to Jesus and still missing it. Little James and why his unhealed leg might be the most powerful testimony in the bunch. Eden and Simon's grief after the miscarriage, and the difference between doubting God and being resentful at him. And the moment Simon admits, out loud, that what he is really afraid of is Jesus choosing them. Then the conversation turns to the tassels. The old man Matthew arrested, who bought up his family's debt before dying so they would be free. Mary explaining to Matthew that the tassels were never about cloth, they were about faith. The Hellenistic visitor Shmuel berates for fashion violations before stealing his witness. Atticus identifying a horse breed and a rider's status in one glance. And Chris Paul's idea of false decorum as the through line for what the Pharisees and the modern world keep getting wrong.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior bring the Thursday show with election infrastructure and the machinery running underneath it front and center. Virginia Governor Spanberger announces an executive order on how state election workers should "deal with" federal agents at polling places, and Alpha immediately spots the legal trap she set for herself: by announcing a formal process to delay and obstruct, she documented intent to commit a federal crime. Chicago's city council passes the Jesse Jackson Fair Access to Democracy Ordinance 42-8 with a democracy zone framework and a taxpayer-funded get-out-the-vote panel after an alderman reportedly tells colleagues there will be "a knife to your throat" if they vote no. Trump drops a Truth Social post calling for the removal of Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth McDonough, appointed by Harry Reid in 2009, as the SAVE America Act stalls in reconciliation. Alpha and CannCon map out why Trump is using the parliamentarian story to build public awareness ahead of a much bigger move. James O'Keefe updates the Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong case, revealing she told him off camera she has names of people committing worse election crimes and appears to be cooperating with the DOJ. Spencer Pratt's AI-generated "I'm not MAGA or anything" campaign ad earns the highest praise of the episode.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open on the morning after Thomas Massie's primary loss with APAC already out celebrating publicly, naming Massie and MTG as the two "detractors" they replaced with pro-Israel voices. The guys break down what Trump's 37 and 0 endorsement record actually means in a fraudulent election system: not that Trump picks winners, but that endorsements are narrative disruption tools in a scripted storytelling war. John Podhoretz drops a stunning clip openly declaring that Jewish money will be deployed against antisemitic candidates as a matter of communal survival, and Chris Paul walks through why what he described, said by any other ethnic group, would end careers instantly. Trump's "He'll do whatever I want" Netanyahu quote drops alongside news of a tense call over a Qatar and Pakistan drafted Iran peace memo. Chris Paul reframes the Taliban, Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas as potentially legitimate people's governance authorities rather than terrorist groups, connecting it to Syria, Venezuela, and the Doha agreement pattern. Spencer Pratt's viral LA mayoral AI ads get a full breakdown. The show closes on Trump's DOJ anti-weaponization fund, a $1.776 billion settlement where the DOJ officially acknowledges the "unlawful raid of Mar-a-Lago."

Tonight we're pulling apart a mix of everyday habits, cultural shifts, and the stories circulating online that shape how people see the world. We start in rural America, looking at how current political and economic pressures are impacting the next generation of farmers—and what that could mean for small towns long-term. Then we shift into something lighter but surprisingly deep: the psychology behind iced coffee culture. Why it's everywhere, what it signals socially, and how small consumer trends reflect bigger emotional patterns. From there, we dig into public controversy and online claims surrounding Kenneth Copeland, focusing on the way rumors and allegations spread and why figures like him attract so much scrutiny. We also take a look at concerns and debates around the Cars for Kids campaigns, and how people try to separate marketing from transparency. And as always—more stories, more questions, and the threads connecting them. No easy answers tonight, just the patterns worth noticing.

Cam Cooksey shows up with the question every kid secretly wants to ask. Is space real? And if it is, what even is it? Lt Gen (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast pulls out a scale-of-the-universe chart and walks Cam from the size of a sunflower out to Andromeda, then all the way down to quarks and quantum strings. The takeaway: you are connected to all of it, top to bottom. From there the conversation gets philosophical in the best way. Kwast lays out the decision-making framework he teaches future leaders. Start with an opinion, hold it with humility, then test it against the facts. His own starting opinion is that there is one God who made an infinite universe so we could love, explore, and grow. They tackle time travel (probably possible, probably unwise), the early 90s vertical takeoff rocket technology that will let you fly New York to Singapore in 37 minutes, and the deep state lie that the planet is too full. The closer, from Cam, is the line of the episode. Before you try to figure out outer space, focus on inner space first.

Jon Herold comes in Wednesday with a show that starts where yesterday's interview left off. Massey lost in Kentucky, Gallerian won with $15 million in AIPAC money, and Trump's endorsement record stays spotless. Jon uses the moment to ask the question that actually matters: if the election system is fraudulent and the voters do not determine the winner, what does a Trump endorsement actually mean? Is he swaying voters or does he already know who the system is going to pick? He also replays the Burchett clip that has Ashe fired up, pushes back on the blame the voters framing, and asks a pointed question nobody wants to answer: name one grassroots-activated candidate who got into Congress and stayed solid. Trump's Coast Guard speech included a casual reference to being around in 2032, which Jon flags as another devolution-adjacent hint. Two new executive orders dropped: one targeting Chinese money laundering networks and a second that formally integrates digital assets into the US financial regulatory framework, which Jon thinks crypto holders should be paying close attention to. Trump also posted a lengthy Truth Social calling out Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth McDonough and warning that without killing the filibuster Republicans will never win another presidential election.

CannCon and Ashe in America open Wednesday with a show packed with Georgia and Kentucky primary fallout. Brad Raffensperger, Gabriel Sterling, and Chris Carr all fail to make the runoff in the Georgia governor's race, which Ashe frames as three people who are going to need the time back to prepare their criminal defense. Ed Galleran defeats Thomas Massey in Kentucky with $15 million from AIPAC and a victory party of roughly 30 people. CannCon reads Massey's full legislative record dating back to Trump's inauguration and challenges anyone to explain which bill on that list they disagree with. Ashe makes the principled point that emotional investment in any of these races is exactly how people get rug-pulled. Multiple primaries going to runoffs are already producing calls for ranked choice voting from both DSA and libertarian factions, and Ashe breaks down why it is the next layer of election opacity being added to an already unverifiable system. The Maritime Cybersecurity Act would bar Chinese components from ports and grid infrastructure, which CannCon and Ashe point out explicitly does not include voting machines despite election systems being defined as critical infrastructure. Trump endorses Ken Paxton for Texas Senate and primaries Cornyn. South Carolina passes a new 7-0 congressional map.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid have a very good Tuesday. Thomas Massie just lost his primary to a Trump endorsed candidate, Bill Cassidy went down the day before, and Trump just yanked his Cornyn endorsement in Texas and pinned it on Ken Paxton, which sent John Thune into a televised meltdown. The duo argues this is the establishment quietly getting hauled out before November, and the so called America first dissenters are the visible piece of a much bigger infiltration operation. Alpha then drops the receipt he has been sitting on for twenty six hours. A whistleblower contacted him alleging an October 2024 dinner meeting in the Hamilton County Ohio area, an attorney connected to a very famous homicide trial, and a roster of influencers many of you interact with daily on X. He reads the post verbatim for legal reasons. From there the guys explain why Massie conceded without crying fraud, why the Save America Act is supposed to fail, and why August is the likely window for a national emergency on election integrity. Plus Harmeet Dhillon's voter roll lawsuit against twenty nine states, Joe DiGenova's Fort Pierce team for the Brennan grand jury, Alpha's $1,776,000,000 prediction coming true, and the six story military command center quietly being built under the East Wing.

CannCon and Ashe in America open with Ashe's first in-person visit with Tina Peters in prison, arriving just hours after Governor Jared Polis cut her sentence in half and granted parole effective June 1. Ashe shares Peters' priorities upon release: her 97-year-old mother, her health, and her dog Minka. The conversation turns to a full legal breakdown of the case, including what she was actually convicted of versus acquitted of, the exculpatory text messages withheld by the FBI from DA Rubinstein, and how the court blocked her from disputing the prosecution's intent narrative. CannCon and Ashe also break down the $17.76 billion weaponization of government fund and whether their own cases might qualify. The show then pivots to The Atlantic's hit piece on election integrity advocates including Clay Parikh and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, who seized 650,000 ballots after redistricting discrepancies. The episode closes on Todd Blanche's Fox Business interview confirming active DOJ investigations in Arizona and Fulton County, Susie Wiles' statement that Trump may have won additional 2020 states, and Stacy Abrams reacting to the downstream effects of the Louisiana v. Callais redistricting ruling.

Ghost returns from a week off and opens with an unplanned ferry pass by Epstein Island before diving into the week's biggest stories. Trump and Nigeria jointly eliminated ISIS's global second-in-command Abu Balal al-Manouki, the man behind the 2014 Chibok schoolgirl kidnappings. Ghost reframes the operation not as a threat to the Alliance of Sahel States but as Trump cleaning up a deep state creation, and walks through how US aid money routed through Ukraine funded ISIS proxies in Mali. A rare Ebola strain has erupted in Congo's Ituri province with the WHO declaring a public health emergency, and Ghost ties it directly to the ongoing rare earth mineral conflict and the deep state's losing battle for control of Eastern Congo. Trump publicly asked MBS, MBZ, and Qatar's emir to pause Iran strikes, confirming the Arabs never wanted war. Trump met Xi in China, Putin heads to Beijing for his 25th visit, and a Saudi/Pakistan defense pact is expanding toward Qatar and Turkey. Iraq and Pakistan signed bilateral energy transit deals with Iran, and Ghost maps out a potential Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline corridor. The episode closes with a deep dive into Alex Saab's deportation from Venezuela and PDVSA's own 2015 financial documents showing the Venezuelan government as the original victim of deep state-linked corruption.

Jon Herold comes in Tuesday with his best show prep in weeks and a live guest. Representative Tim Burchett of Tennessee joins for a fast-moving fifteen-minute interview covering the most expensive House race in history, foreign money in Congress, dark money and NGO corruption, and Jon's favorite question: given the fraud, waste, and abuse, why should Americans keep paying taxes? Burchett's answer is the best Jon has gotten from any representative yet, and the moment where he tells Jon Congress is crooked as a dog's leg is going to be clipped by someone. Before the interview, Jon reads Trump's overnight Truth Social post announcing a planned military strike on Iran was called off at Gulf allies' request, and immediately wonders whether the attack was ever actually scheduled or whether this is another negotiating tactic. Trump also posted about 500,000 illegal mail-in ballots being sent in Maryland and called for a DOJ investigation. The DOJ is now exposing a two-decade-long California election fraud scheme, but Jon flags that none of the exposure touches voting machines. The 30-year treasury yield climbed to 5.2%, Elon Musk lost his OpenAI case in under two hours, and the Department of War just paused its defense board with Canada.

CannCon and Ghost open Tuesday with Ghost fresh off a Caribbean wedding where he discovered Epstein Island is visible from a crowded ferry. DOJ announces the plea deal of Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, a 20-year veteran of registering homeless people on Skid Row with cigarettes and cash, exposed by James O'Keefe. CannCon connects her voter roll padding directly to Maryland's mail-in ballot crisis, where Trump posts that 500,000 illegal ballots were sent out and demands a DOJ investigation of Governor Wes Moore. Stacey Abrams confirms what CannCon said three weeks ago: the Louisiana v. Calais redistricting decision threatens not just congressional seats but up to 191 state legislative districts, and with them every city council, county commission, and school board in the South. Ghost previews the Western Kentucky AIPAC versus Massey primary as a guaranteed lose-lose for the establishment GOP: either outcome blows up the coalition. Linda McMahon reveals the FAFSA fraud crackdown is stopping ghost students, bots, and dead people from collecting federal loans. The San Diego Islamic Center shooting unfolds with fog of war caution. And a Minnesota ICE officer is charged in a shooting CannCon says deserves a trial regardless of politics.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open Episode 185 with a breakdown of the Thomas Massey vs. Ed Gallerain Kentucky primary, the Laura Loomer affair claims, and why Jon sees the whole thing as an op against someone he already had no illusions about. Then the show pivots to UFO disclosure. Matt Gaetz recently confirmed a whistleblower claim that humans were being harvested from natural disasters and migrant caravans for alien-human hybrid programs, while CIA-connected researcher Hal Putoff named four alien species the US government has allegedly recovered. Jon argues the alien cover story may be a convenient distraction from human trafficking networks run by very earthly actors. The second half of the episode digs into the surge in ticks across America. Jon connects the rise of alpha gal syndrome, a red meat allergy spread by lone star ticks, to a peer-reviewed bioethics paper proposing intentional tick spreading as a climate strategy, a Gates Foundation grant to a biotech company engineering ticks for release into the wild, the Pfizer-Valneva Lyme disease vaccine now in phase three trials, and the original origins of Lyme disease at Plum Island, a biological weapons lab staffed by post-World War II Nazi scientists.

What happens when a Democrat speechwriter for the AFL-CIO and an unaffiliated conservative election denier sit down and discover they agree on more than they disagree? Ashe welcomes Tricia Calvaresi, the last Democrat to challenge Lauren Boebert, for a conversation that earns its question mark. From Colorado's NGO corruption machine to the broken mental health system, the globalist central planning apparatus to the civil war inside the Democratic Party, this one goes everywhere. Ashe closes with an exclusive update from her visit with Tina Peters in prison, including what Tina wants first when she walks out. It's a steak. Obviously.

JB is still out, but CannCon, Alpha Warrior, and Cam Cooksey hold it down for a packed episode. The crew kicks things off with a full NHL Western Conference Finals breakdown, Avs versus Golden Knights, while keeping an eye on the Hurricanes' undefeated run. From there it gets physical fast, starting with a Gina Carano versus Ronda Rousey reaction and rolling into a genuine self-defense debrief covering throat strikes, knee attacks, and when Alpha used to pull out the baton. Cam brings a minor league baseball brawl that has everyone debating taunting rules across every sport. Then CannCon breaks down why the Internet gave dumb people access to each other, explains Looney Tunes to a small child in 2026, and the whole crew wraps up trading Pickle Rick quotes and simulation theory. Men uncensored, unfiltered, and unsupervised.

The ladies open with coffee splash photo challenge fails, including Jackie's noble attempt at a witch's cauldron and Ashe's lone half melted ice cube while Christy's iPhone 17 Pro Max once again outclasses everyone. They tease the Freedom 250 GART in Deadwood, complete with red, white, and blue welcome dinner plans and a renewed hope that Zach Payne and only Lance actually grow mullets. Christy takes the professor's chair for the idiom hands down, which turns out to come from horse racing and not, sadly, a dramatic courtroom gesture, just in time for Napoleon Solo to win the Preakness in a suspicious bit of comms. Ashe walks through her in person visit with Tina Peters two days after Governor Polis granted clemency, unpacking what is actually going on with the weaponization of government, why this case was never about elections despite the headlines, what Tina actually misses (her 97 year old mother, a real steak, a salad with actual tomatoes), why she will not see her dog Minka until she is certain she is not leaving her again, and why people who say she did nothing wrong are missing the same point as people who call her a threat to democracy. Christy closes with how to swallow gel caps without choking and how to unlock a child safety cap forever.

Jon Herold comes in Monday with his kids officially on summer break and a show that starts with economic warning signs nobody wants to talk about. The US 30-year treasury yield hit 5.16% this morning, the highest level since the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis, and Jon walks through exactly what that means for mortgage rates, housing, and stock prices. Student loan defaults just hit a new all-time high of $171 billion. Then Jon turns to the Kentucky primary circus: the Thomas Massey vs. Ed Gallerian race has degenerated into a Laura Loomer-driven psyop featuring unverified sexual allegations, $25 million in outside money, and a Trump endorsement post Jon reads in full and fact-checks in real time. He does not like Massey and still refuses to participate in the hit campaign against him, and explains exactly why that principle matters more than the outcome. Trump also settled his $10 billion IRS lawsuit and created a $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund, which Jon cautiously questions: who decides who qualifies, and why are taxpayers footing the bill instead of the people who committed the crimes? Plus: Tina Peters is eligible for parole June 1, US-Greenland Arctic talks are quietly continuing, and Venezuela just deported Biden pardon recipient Alex Saab to the US.

CannCon and Zak Paine open Monday with a show packed with election accountability developments. Tina Peters is getting out after Colorado Governor Polis halves her sentence, and CannCon and Zak break down her statement of contrition, the Jenna Griswold CNN meltdown that says the quiet part out loud, and the Sonia Jaquez Lewis comparison that makes the double standard impossible to explain away. Breaking during prep: unsealed testimony confirms Georgia investigators killed the 2020 election probe at Governor Kemp's personal request, a story CannCon broke at Badlands in February. Acting AG Todd Blanche goes on Maria Bartiromo and confirms there is a ton of evidence the 2020 election was rigged, multiple active investigations in Arizona and Fulton County, and a RICO grand conspiracy case in the Southern District of Florida with hundreds of subpoenas and witnesses. CannCon plays Comey telling embedded FBI employees to "hang on for two and a half years," and Brennan telling CIA and DOJ holdouts that good people are still in place, framing both as dog whistles that are simultaneously generating subpoenable evidence. Kamala Harris floats a "no bad ideas" agenda including abolishing the electoral college and expanding the Supreme Court. Bill Cassidy loses his Senate primary. Tom Kean is still missing.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid come in swinging on Episode 26. Trump posts the "calm before the storm" with a Navy admiral in the frame, and the Q delta timestamp matches perfectly. Todd Blanche confirms Russiagate and the 2020 election are both under active investigation. MTG goes on camera to trash Q, and Alpha and Josh lay out exactly why that move was predictable and what it reveals about her. Trump then floods Truth Social with AI images of an alien in shackles and Space Force weapons, and the guys connect it to the Carol Rosen warning about the staged alien card false flag. Meanwhile, Hal Puthoff goes on record for the first time confirming the US has recovered craft with four distinct alien species. A landmark disclosure episode and another Sunday night that will age very well.

Part 5 of the ether series is the one where the roof comes off. Jonathan Drake and Polymath finally answer the question modern physics openly admits it cannot: what is light? The answer involves a longitudinally propagating pulse perturbation in a coaxial circuit, which Polymath's wife confirmed makes zero sense until you break it down piece by piece. And then it makes total sense. Light is a string of toroidal ether perturbations. It is not traveling anywhere. It is creating space as it goes. And if you crank up the capacitance far enough, light stops propagating, becomes a standing wave, and turns into matter. Yes, that means matter is frozen light. Plato's Divided Line then shows up to confirm that the golden ratio is encoded in the electromagnetic spectrum itself, visible light sits exactly where the divided line predicts, and the water molecule is shaped like the Pythagorean sacred triangle. If your science class had covered any of this, you would not have fallen asleep.

Jon Herold sits down with Ryan Witte of MyShroom Vibe for a candid conversation about the product he uses every single day. Ryan opens up about years of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation before a mentor casually dropped one word that changed everything: shrooms. What started as personal relief became a business, a mission, and now a growing platform helping thousands of people explore microdosing psilocybin. Ryan breaks down how his Oregon farm partners cultivate and extract the product, what the Stamets Stack actually is, why the Albino Penis Envy strain is the most potent and hardest to grow, and the difference between microdosing and a full trip. He also addresses the legal gray area the industry navigates, social media censorship battles, and a new 100mg beginner capsule coming soon. If you have ever been curious but a little scared, this one is for you.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open on election night with the Kentucky Massie primary consuming the entire MAGA Twitter ecosystem. Jon walks through Trump's blistering True Social posts calling Massie the worst Republican congressman in history and threatening Lauren Boebert's seat, while both hosts make the principled case that the allegation op being run against Massie uses the exact same playbook as Kavanaugh and Stormy Daniels, and the community is failing its own standards. Chris Paul lays out his theory that Trump's endorsements in an era of fake elections are narrative disruption tools, not predictions of winners. From there the show gets philosophical, with Chris delivering his extended metaphor about systematic reality inversion and what it means to be the person correctly calling heads and tails when everyone around you has been conditioned backwards for life. Trump's "I don't think about American finances" Iran doubledown with Brett Baier gets a principled defense. The Twitter algorithm transparency post, the social incentive structure driving the entire influencer class, and Trump's comments on 500,000 Chinese students and the American university system all get their turns. The show closes on the CNN article about the Trump Hantavirus official who runs a YouTube show called Erection Connection.

Alpha Warrior sits down with 84-year-old (almost 85) Steve Stern, a man who has been working twelve days a week in a seven-day week for so long he treats it as basic math. The conversation starts in Brooklyn, lands in Miami at age 12 with no palm trees and no hotel, and ends with a man on a first-name basis with the President of the United States. Steve walks through the now-legendary "four corner stores" tale: how a kid knocking on doors in the Empire State Building ended up flying to Korea, inventing a banded-bottom shirt empire, and selling JC Penney $14 million a year for 44 years. His motto came from Cuban refugees: work hard and be honest. The rest is history. The second half pivots to election integrity. Steve explains Precinct Strategy, the new Precinct Project USA, the weekly Election Security Call he started after a personal conversation with President Trump, and why the Republican Party still has 400,000 committee slots with only 200,000 people filling them. He talks Tina Peters, Orange County, and the Trump birthday letter that gave an 80-year-old his second wind. Find him at Stern American on Rumble.

Episode 52 of Flow is a full guest takeover by Adrian and Cristina of Rise Attire, and it delivers. The conversation opens on the ideas behind their new documentary Vibes 2 on Dauntless Dialogue, covering the suppression of knowledge about the human energy field, how the "universe" language was engineered to replace God, and why energy exchange between people is something the powers that be have always tried to interrupt. Adrian walks through his music theory background, the physics of resonant frequencies, and the phenomenon of cymatics, where sound takes visible physical form. The conversation then moves into color as frequency, color blindness, and the rare genetic condition of tetrachromats who can see 100 million colors, all as a framework for asking what reality looks like beyond our current perception. The episode closes with Adrian connecting Saint Thomas Aquinas's proof of God's existence directly to energy field theory, and Cristina teasing her upcoming AI fairy tale film coming to Dauntless. American of the Week is George Taylor, Irish indentured servant turned iron master who forged cannonballs for Washington.

Ashe broke the story before the embargo lifted and she is not apologizing for it. Governor Jared Polis granted clemency to Tina Peters, cutting her sentence and making her eligible for parole June 1. The crew digs into exactly what that means, what she was actually convicted of versus what the media has claimed for years, and what she was acquitted on that nobody talks about. Ashe lays out the full picture of the Colorado elections cabal, from Jenna Griswold's puppet masters to Matt Crane's NGO control of election narrative, Wayne Williams and Runback Election Services, and how the Help America Vote Act handed the entire election system to private interests. Jared Polis gets the full political autopsy treatment. Plus the crew watches Jenna Griswold lose her mind on CNN, reviews the Elliot Page Odyssey meme collection, and Cam shares his three-hour Starlink roof saga. A substantive, sharp episode anchored by one of the most significant election integrity stories in years.

Were the Middle Ages really a thousand years of ignorance, brutality, and superstition? Host Matt Trump, a physicist, says no and has the receipts. Drawing on Johan Huizinga's classic "The Autumn of the Middle Ages" and a revelatory 1982 essay by mathematician James Franklin, Matt makes the case that the Middle Ages were actually a period of extraordinary advancement in philosophy, science, architecture, and literature, and that the Renaissance was the gap, not the golden age. Gothic cathedrals, Thomas Aquinas, Nicole Oresme's pre-Galilean mechanics, the myth of prima nocta, chastity belts, flat earth belief, and the Black Death all get their moment. A rich, wide-ranging episode that will make you rethink everything your history class told you.
