David and Brad welcome back Rob Clark from the Lone Gunman podcast to dissect the latest JFK assassination document dump. They scrutinize suspicious CIA operations, including the mail surveillance program that monitored Oswald years before Dallas, and the curious case of CIA operative Gary Underhill who predicted his own "suicide" after claiming agency involvement. The hosts tear apart the physics-defying "magic bullet" theory while navigating a labyrinth of convenient deaths, vanished diaries, and bureaucratic cover-ups. With thousands of newly released documents to sift through - many suspiciously mundane or organized to be virtually unsearchable - they inch closer to unraveling what might be America's most elaborate government cover-up, all while reminding us why we should "never attribute to evil what could be properly explained by stupidity".

AOC and Buttigieg are declaring their 2028 presidential ambitions, but there might not be much government left after Trump's sledgehammer approach to obliterating wasteful spending.

Plus, Bill Belichick's Dunkin' Donuts commercial disaster, an update on the 500-pound rapper's SUV saga, and Canada's latest gender-bending sports controversy.

Dave and Brad rip into the government's creative accounting practices, uncovering how USAID managed to misplace millions of your hard-earned dollars faster than a politician can say "national security."

They dive deep into Trump's government audit initiative, FEMA's hotel financing scheme for illegal immigrants, and Ohio lawmakers' attempt to regulate male proclivities.

Watch as they chronicle the new administration's speed-run through executive orders, marvel at the contrast between Trump's whirlwind tour and Biden's Rip Van Winkle presidency, and try to make sense of those totally-not-suspicious last-minute pardons (looking at you, Fauci, with your pharma millions and taxpayer-funded security detail).

Remember: if you're not outraged, you're not paying attention – and if you're Dr. Fauci, you might want to keep that pardon handy!

Another week, another attempt on Trump's life. It sounds crazy, but a substantial percentage of polled Democrats aren't troubled by the fact that there have been two assassination attempts on former President Trump.

In international news, an unprecedented coordinated attack on Hezbollah terrorists changes the landscape of modern warfare.

For everyone who was hopeful that the Harris and Trump debate would be an informative discourse on pressing issues in America…what were you thinking? The debate focused instead on Hatian migrants eating pets in Ohio, and a disagreement on what actually happened on January 6th, almost 5 years ago. Whatever the case, it may be wise to sit the next 4 years out in your bunker and hope for the best.
