    The Files They Can't Burn: Epstein's Last Remaining Power

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 19, 2025 15:07


    In this episode of Burn Notice, we break down why the Epstein files are about to shake the entire political system. I talk through the sudden “about-face” from Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene's convenient apology tour, and why both of them are scrambling now that the Epstein estate—not the government—has started releasing documents. We explain why I'm convinced Epstein was working with intelligence and why so many powerful people are terrified these files will expose decades of abuse, trafficking, and cover-ups. This scandal isn't partisan—it's global. When these files drop, the whole house of cards is coming down. 

    Toni Morrison, MacKenzie Scott & The Real Reason Behind the Millions

    In this episode of Burn Notice, we break down the story most folks don't know—the real reason MacKenzie Scott is dropping life-changing money on HBCUs. Napalm and I connect the dots: Toni Morrison mentored MacKenzie when she was a student at Princeton, even writing the recommendation that led to the hedge-fund job where she met Jeff Bezos. Without that Black woman pouring into her, MacKenzie's entire life trajectory changes. So her generosity isn't a “white savior” move—it's gratitude, legacy, and paying forward what Toni Morrison gave her. That's the story the media isn't telling.

    HBCUs, Elitism & the Underdogs: The McKenzie Scott Effect

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 14, 2025 20:05


    On this episode of Burn Notice, we shift from politics to the culture. Napalm and Firestarter talk about MacKenzie Scott—a billionaire actually putting her money where her mouth is and dropping millions on HBCUs with no strings attached. But we ask the bigger question: why do the same “elite” HBCUs always get the shine while the smaller schools struggle to survive? We dig into elitism, endowments, and whether the Black community has a responsibility to support the underdogs—the Voorhees, the Paines, and the Fort Valley HBCUs. It's not just about donations. It's about remembering where we came from.

    Black Friday Shutdown: The Cave Heard 'Round the World

    On this episode of Burn Notice, we break down how the shutdown fight collapsed right before Black Friday—just like I said it would. Democrats had the GOP on the ropes, momentum was building, and instead of finishing the job, they caved for a “promise of a future vote.” A promise. Meanwhile, people are struggling with SNAP benefits, premiums are shooting up, and leadership keeps worrying about optics instead of outcomes. We talk power addiction, messaging failures, and why the old guard won't step aside for fighters. I'm done with polite politics. Sometimes you gotta finish the villain while you got him down.

    This week on Burn Notice, I kick things off with the legend himself—Napalm. Not the K-Pop fashion hashtag, but the real scorched-earth, Vietnam-level napalm. We get into why the establishment is terrified of candidates who aren't owned—like Zohran Mamdani in New York, running on affordability and actually threatening to make

    QRF & Joker Politics: Anarchy in a Nice Suit

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 8, 2025 15:07


    In this episode of Burn Notice, Controlled Burn shorts, I connect the dots on QRF—Quick Response Forces—and why 25,000 “election monitors” in uniform should set off alarms. We talk about Dominion getting snapped up by a Trump ally, computerized vote-flipping fears, and the real endgame: normalizing the military at the ballot box. Then I flip it comic-book style—why some players are pure Joker (they just want the fire), while Trump reads more like a Two-Face/Penguin mashup: petty, transactional, mobbed-up. Bottom line: stop chasing billboard rap beefs and watch the board. They're speed-running the okey-doke before midterms. Stay vigilant, organize, and don't get played.

    The Church Hug Conspiracy: MAGA's Love Language

    In this episode of Burn Notice, Controlled Burn shorts, we break down that not-so-holy “church hug” between JD Vance and Charlie Kirk's widow—and what it really means for the next phase of MAGA politics. Beneath the awkward embrace lies ambition: Vance plotting his move to inherit the Trump empire, setting up a dynasty built on grift, crypto, and chaos. Firestarter calls out how this isn't random—it's strategy, grooming the next political heir while the rest of us argue about rappers and billboards. Pay attention: behind every awkward hug, there's always a power play.

    No Boats, Just Billionaires: The SNAP Shutdown Survival Guide

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 5, 2025 12:27


    In this episode of Burn Notice, Controlled Burn shorts, we're done sugarcoating. The SNAP shutdown is real, and while they tell poor folks to “tighten up,” billionaires keep cashing out. We talk about Kemp, cold-hearted surplus hoarding, and why rising tides don't fit you if you don't have a damn boat. We break down how this isn't about budgeting—it's about punishing the poor while banks and defense contractors eat well. This is a grift from the top down. If you're mad at food stamps but silent about Argentina bailouts, you're missing the real scam. Wake up. Help your neighbor. And stop falling for the okey-doke.

    In this episode of Burn Notice (Controlled Burn Mini-sodes), we dive into Marjorie “She-Hawk” Taylor Greene's sudden dose of sanity—or strategy. I talk about meeting her in D.C. and how her recent “clarity” is less awakening and more survival instinct. We connect her pivot to the looming Epstein files, the billionaire boys' club, and the quiet money trails running through Trump's new Ponzi politics. From Epstein Island to Bitcoin pardons, it's all transactional, all corrupt, and all out in the open. I'm just here to remind folks—pay attention. The chickens are circling back, and they always land hard.

    The shutdown's here, and America's mask is off. While the rich cash out, poor folks are starving—and the same states yelling “self-reliance” are living off SNAP. We break down how the “welfare queen” lie still drives policy, how ICE is turning rogue, and how distraction keeps folks blind. This isn't politics; it's payback. Wake up, tighten up, and figure out who your real ops are.

    This episode of Controlled Burn is us lighting the match again. We're talking straight—no filters, no fake diplomacy. America's burning, and we're just calling it what it is: a controlled burn that's finally reaching the folks who thought they'd never feel the heat.We talk about how Trump and his movement played poor white America—got them blaming Black and brown people while the rich keep stacking the deck. Now those same folks are crying about the consequences, from farmers hurting to benefits getting slashed. We call it splashback politics—you hit the urinal cake, and now you're wearing the mess.We tear into fake Christian nationalism, “allies” who think hanging a sign counts as activism, and Democrats who keep trying to win off integrity while getting punked in real time. At the end of the day, Controlled Burn isn't just a podcast—it's a reality check. The fire's here. The question is, what side are you standing on when the smoke clears?
