Burning Bright is joined by Ashe in America for a deep dive into what may be the most overlooked driver behind current geopolitical tensions: energy. The conversation begins with the escalating situation surrounding Iran and quickly expands into a broader discussion about how energy dependence, domestic production, and global supply chains shape political narratives and military conflict. Burning and Ashe examine why energy suddenly dominates headlines, why Americans are questioning foreign energy influence on domestic prices, and how renewed fossil fuel development may play a role in a much larger transition. Along the way, they explore the Department of Energy's expanding role, emerging conversations around alternative technologies, and how debates around oil, gas, and future energy sources are beginning to merge into a single public conversation. As the hosts unpack the strategic implications behind these developments, they ask whether the current moment represents a temporary crisis or the beginning of a much larger shift in how energy is produced, controlled, and discussed.

CannCon and Ashe in America return for another episode of Why We Vote, diving deep into ongoing election integrity battles and the systems that govern how votes are verified and counted. The conversation centers on Arizona's election oversight efforts, including signature verification processes, chain of custody concerns, and the broader fight to improve transparency and accountability in election administration. The hosts examine past election investigations, audit controversies, overwritten log files, and media narratives surrounding election integrity work. They also explore how grassroots organizations are working to analyze voter records, address registration issues, and bring greater scrutiny to election procedures across the country. Later in the episode, election integrity advocate Merissa Caldwell of EZAZ.org joins the discussion to explain how her background in logistics and supply chain management led her into election oversight. She outlines how citizen-led efforts can improve verification systems and discusses current developments surrounding the SAVE Act and proof of citizenship requirements. Throughout the conversation, the panel emphasizes civic participation, transparency, and the role of citizens in holding government institutions accountable.

Ashe in America and Ghost return for a full Season 2 recap of The Choice, reflecting on the major themes, character arcs, and spiritual lessons that unfolded throughout the season. The conversation walks through how the story expanded the lives of the disciples, explored their personal struggles, and illustrated the growing tension between following Jesus and remaining tied to the expectations of the world. Throughout the recap, Ashe and Ghost discuss the development of key figures such as Matthew, Simon Peter, and the other disciples as they wrestle with doubt, fear, pride, and faith. The hosts reflect on how the show portrays Jesus calling ordinary people into extraordinary purpose while also highlighting the sacrifices required to truly follow Him. Moments of humor, humility, and personal transformation are examined as the group considers how each character responds differently to the same invitation. The discussion also looks at how the season builds toward the Sermon on the Mount and the deeper meaning behind Jesus' teachings about humility, righteousness, and the nature of the kingdom of heaven. Ashe and Ghost emphasize how the show frames discipleship not as comfort or prestige but as a path that requires surrender, faith, and a willingness to change.

CannCon, Ashe in America, and Colonel Towner Watkins continue their breakdown of Stolen Elections, examining a chapter that introduces sweeping claims about foreign influence, voting machines, and election infrastructure. As the hosts walk through the material, they question the logic and sourcing behind allegations involving Venezuela, China, Iran, and Cuba. The discussion focuses heavily on how the book presents technical claims about poll books, voting machines, and election software. The panel compares those claims with publicly known election equipment and processes, pointing out contradictions and factual errors along the way. From diagrams suggesting global control networks to explanations about flashcards and voting hardware, the hosts repeatedly challenge whether the narrative holds up under scrutiny. Throughout the episode, the conversation turns into a deeper examination of how complex election systems can be misunderstood or misrepresented, and why careful research is necessary when making claims about election infrastructure.

In this March 11 episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America begin with light morning banter before diving into a growing discussion about election investigations tied to Maricopa County, Arizona. The hosts react to reports that the FBI is in possession of election materials connected to the county and explore what that could mean as multiple investigations continue to unfold. The conversation expands into the discovery of previously hidden FBI investigations tied to President Trump, including a case reportedly uncovered within restricted FBI systems. CannCon and Ashe discuss how internal whistleblowers and investigators are now surfacing documents that had allegedly been buried within the bureau's internal databases. They also examine claims that congressional investigators and federal authorities may be coordinating on a broader review of election administration in multiple states. The discussion focuses on whether Arizona represents only the beginning of a multi phase effort to investigate election procedures across the country.

Ashe in America returns to host The Daily Herold, continuing the conversation around election integrity, government accountability, and structural reform happening across federal agencies. Ashe walks through ongoing developments surrounding election investigations, including renewed attention on past election conduct and the broader implications for restoring public trust in the system. She explains why reforms targeting voter eligibility, mail ballot procedures, and election oversight remain central to rebuilding confidence in American elections. The episode also highlights policy changes emerging from federal agencies that aim to reduce fraud, prioritize American workers and businesses, and shift government programs toward accountability and work requirements. Ashe argues that many of the most important changes are happening quietly within agency rulemaking and regulatory updates rather than in headline grabbing announcements. Throughout the show, she emphasizes the importance of independent thinking, transparency, and sustained scrutiny of government institutions as Americans work toward a more accountable system.

Ashe in America and Ghost return for the final installment of their breakdown of the Tucker Carlson and Mike Huckabee interview, continuing their analysis of the political, theological, and geopolitical claims surrounding Israel. In this episode, the conversation turns toward the most explosive portions of the interview, including the debate over Gaza, civilian casualties, and the competing narratives around Hamas and Israeli military actions. Ashe and Ghost examine the exchange where Tucker presses Huckabee on civilian deaths and the reliability of casualty figures, highlighting the difficulty of separating propaganda from fact in wartime. The hosts also reflect on how the geopolitical landscape has shifted since they began the series, noting the sudden escalation involving Iran and how quickly the global conversation can change. Throughout the discussion, they return to Badlands' core principle of pursuing truth through open debate, even when the subject is controversial or uncomfortable. As the series concludes, Ashe and Ghost emphasize the importance of examining political narratives, questioning assumptions, and continuing to wrestle with difficult questions surrounding faith, foreign policy, and the modern state of Israel.

Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes are joined by special guest Ryan Schuiling for a deep dive into a moment that sounds less like analysis and more like confession. The discussion centers on startling admissions from a former intelligence official who openly describes the creation of a “steady state” meant to counter President Trump, framing him as an existential threat to the country. The conversation examines whether this mindset reflects institutional self preservation rather than national security, and what it means when unelected actors believe they must intervene in the political process. Ryan Schuiling helps unpack the implications of these statements, exploring the psychological warfare aspect of fear based messaging and how narratives are used to influence public perception. The episode also turns toward the Clinton depositions and uncomfortable exchanges surrounding Epstein, where evasive answers and legal maneuvering raise more questions than they resolve. Throughout the discussion, Ashe, Abbey, and Ryan challenge the idea that protecting democracy can justify undermining it, and ask whether accountability will ever reach the people who openly admit to manipulating the system.

Ashe in America fills in for Jon Herold and dives into several major developments shaping the political landscape. She begins by examining signs of structural reform within federal agencies, highlighting new policies affecting small business loans, entitlement program work requirements, and apprenticeship expansion as examples of broader efforts to reduce fraud and encourage economic growth. Ashe argues that these systemic changes, rather than headline grabbing announcements, may be the real indicators of whether government reform efforts are working. The conversation then turns to election integrity. Ashe analyzes the SAVE Act and new legislation aimed at restricting unsolicited mail in ballots, explaining how these proposals target two of the three main vulnerabilities she believes exist in the election system: fake voters and fake ballots. She also walks through a detailed timeline of events surrounding the Maricopa County audit following the 2020 election, pointing to repeated subpoena violations, overwritten log files, and other conduct that is now reportedly drawing federal investigative attention. The episode closes with discussion about political narratives surrounding election investigations, the ongoing debate over Tina Peters' case, and why transparency and accountability remain essential if Americans are ever going to rebuild trust in the electoral system.

In Episode 62 of Alphas Make Sandwiches, Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo and Jackie Espada welcome special guest Annie Hunt from Willow Wind Farms for a lively conversation that blends farm life, natural products, and a behind-the-scenes look at small scale production. Annie shares stories from the farm, including the excitement of baby goat season and how goat milk becomes the foundation for handcrafted skincare products. The conversation explores the realities of producing clean products, the difference between authentic farm made formulas and mass market versions, and why ingredient transparency matters. From freeze drying goat milk to comparing commercial lotion ingredients with truly natural formulations, the hosts and Annie break down how thoughtful sourcing and careful formulation can elevate everyday products. The episode also highlights the challenges and rewards of building a farm based business while staying true to quality and transparency. It is part farm tour, part skincare deep dive, and entirely the kind of conversation that only happens when Alphas get together.

In the Season 2 finale of The Choice, Ghost and Ashe in America unpack one of the most pivotal moments in the Gospel narrative as the story moves toward the Sermon on the Mount. The episode introduces Judas and explores a fictionalized backstory that examines how ambition, moral compromise, and the temptations of worldly success can shape a man's path. Through sharp analysis of the show's storytelling choices, Ghost and Ashe discuss how Judas's early decisions reveal the tension between pursuing power in the world and following the call of the Messiah. Meanwhile, the disciples struggle with division, insecurity, and doubt as they prepare for one of the most important teachings of Jesus' ministry. Against this backdrop of chaos and uncertainty, Jesus works with Matthew to craft the Sermon on the Mount, framing it as a revolutionary manifesto that challenges the moral assumptions of the world. The hosts break down the symbolism behind “salt of the earth,” the deeper meaning of the Beatitudes, and the contrast between the kingdom of God and the systems of power represented by religious leaders and political scheming. The result is a powerful discussion about humility, righteousness, and what it truly means to follow Christ.

CannCon, Ashe in America, and Colonel Towner Watkins continue their deep dive into Stolen Elections with Chapter 11, unpacking the book's claims about Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, alleged Venezuelan engineering of U.S. elections, and the so-called “Fish Tank” source code vault. The trio examines internal contradictions in the narrative, the timeline of events following the 2020 election, and the whistleblowers' evolving story about FBI and DOJ briefings. From meetings at the Trump Hotel to allegations of compromised investigations, Chapter 11 becomes less about what happened and more about how the story is being told. The discussion highlights inconsistencies surrounding Smartmatic, Chinese and Iranian involvement, and the handling of supposed evidence. As always, the panel approaches the material critically, questioning motives, missing details, and narrative shifts that raise more questions than answers. If you thought this chapter would bring clarity, think again.

In this March 4 episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America open with a lively morning conversation that quickly moves into the bigger geopolitical picture shaping the headlines. The hosts examine President Trump's efforts to rebalance global trade and what that means for American workers, while also exploring how entrenched power structures react when their leverage starts slipping. From there, the discussion shifts toward the concept of color revolutions and how intelligence networks historically destabilize societies by exploiting political tensions and media narratives. CannCon and Ashe connect those tactics to the current information environment, asking whether some of today's domestic turmoil mirrors strategies used abroad. The episode also digs into polling narratives surrounding Trump's State of the Union and the reliability of political polling in general. With their usual mix of humor, skepticism, and strategic analysis, the hosts encourage listeners to step back from the emotional headlines and think critically about how narratives are constructed and deployed.

In Part 2 of their deep dive into the Tucker Carlson and Mike Huckabee interview, Ashe in America and Ghost continue unpacking the theological, historical, and political claims surrounding Israel, biblical land promises, and modern geopolitics. The conversation explores the question at the center of Tucker's challenge: who exactly are the people entitled to the biblical promise of land, and how would anyone prove that connection today? Ashe and Ghost examine arguments about ancestry, conversion, DNA, and the claim that modern Israel inherits promises made to Abraham's descendants thousands of years ago. They also dig into the broader implications of Christian Zionism, the historical borders described in scripture, and the tension between biblical covenant theology and modern nation-state politics. Along the way, they critique Huckabee's performance in the interview, arguing that many of Tucker's core questions went unanswered. The episode closes with a reflection on intellectual honesty in political and religious debates and a reminder that, for Christians, the central question remains the same: who do you say that Jesus is?

In Episode 61, Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo and Jackie Espada take listeners on a whirlwind ride through war headlines, surveillance dolphins, ancient Greek bean ballots, and surprisingly deep fashion wisdom. The show opens with reactions to President Trump's late night “war” announcement before pivoting into everything from Russian military dolphins to whether Brussels sprouts are genetically engineered propaganda. The ladies welcome new sponsor Patriot Protect and share their experiences signing up, then dive into this week's photo challenge and prepare for Nashville with line dancing tutorials and rhinestone cowboy dreams. Jackie resets winter moods with homemade bacon mac and cheese and practical tips for beating seasonal slump. Abbey delivers a surprisingly thoughtful breakdown of how to dress elegantly at any size, focusing on fit, fabric and confidence. Ashe closes with a wild but true America 250 story about President John Tyler surviving a naval disaster that ultimately led to marriage. History, humor, hot takes and homemade cheese sauce. Just another week at Alphas.

Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes dive into explosive testimony and jaw-dropping admissions that feel less like oversight and more like confession. From a former intelligence official openly describing the creation of a “steady state” to counter President Trump, to Hillary Clinton's sharp denials and Bill Clinton's increasingly slippery answers about Epstein, this episode pulls no punches. The conversation explores what it means when unelected power structures admit they saw an “existential threat” in the will of the American people, and whether fear messaging, censorship, and coordinated narratives were tools of preservation rather than protection. The Clinton depositions bring uncomfortable moments, awkward deflections, and eyebrow-raising exchanges about flights, favors, and files. Meanwhile, the broader question looms: when institutions move to override elections in the name of democracy, what do we call that? Ashe and Abbey connect the dots, challenge the narrative, and remind viewers that accountability is not optional in a constitutional republic.

Along the way, the trio explores bootleg culture, improvisation, musical community, and how bands built movements without relying on radio gatekeepers. The conversation crescendos with Dave Matthews Band, featuring a live COVID-era performance that became a lifeline during lockdowns, and a surprise guitar remix from Brad that bridges skepticism with appreciation.

Themes of musical freedom, community resilience, artistic sovereignty, and the emotional power of live performance run throughout this episode.

CannCon and Ashe in America welcome election attorney Harry MacDougald for a deep dive into the legal battles still unfolding from 2020. From Sidney Powell's Georgia case to representing Jeffrey Clark before the January 6th Committee and fighting disbarment efforts in D.C., Harry walks through the lawfare that followed election challenges and the chilling effect it has had on the legal profession. The conversation zeroes in on Fulton County's ballot controversy, the DOJ's seizure of 2020 election records, missing ballot images, signature verification failures, and the ongoing fight over standing, probable cause, and preservation requirements. Harry explains the legal arguments behind Rule 41(g), the Fourth Amendment claims, and why the preservation of ballot images matters more than many realize. Beyond the courtroom drama, the episode explores a broader question: can public trust survive when transparency is resisted at every turn? From state investigations to federal intervention, this is a candid discussion about accountability, decentralization, and the future of election integrity.

Ghost and Ashe analyze the patterns behind coordinated messaging, political theater, and media amplification, questioning whether recent developments represent collapse, exposure, or calculated repositioning. They also examine the psychological component of information warfare, highlighting how fear, division, and distraction are leveraged to maintain control. Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize personal responsibility and discernment, arguing that the “choice” is not merely political but moral and civic. As pressures build across legal, cultural, and institutional fronts, this episode frames the current moment as a test of courage, clarity, and the willingness to confront uncomfortable truths as the reckoning unfolds.

The discussion centers on documented procedural failures, discrepancies in oversight, and the statutory requirements that were allegedly bypassed or inconsistently enforced. The hosts walk through specific examples outlined in the chapter, examining how signature verification, observer access, and administrative rule changes affected public confidence. Colonel Towner provides strategic and structural insight into how election safeguards are supposed to function versus how they were implemented in practice. The conversation remains grounded in the book's documented claims, emphasizing timelines, affidavits, and legal arguments presented within the chapter. Rather than broad speculation, the episode highlights the author's evidence-based assertions and the constitutional questions raised about authority, transparency, and accountability. Chapter 10 advances the larger thesis of Stolen Elections by detailing how procedural deviations, once normalized, can fundamentally alter electoral integrity.

We Came for the Art, We Stayed for the SisterhoodWe came for the art… and left with community, connection, and conversations we didn't even know we needed.In this episode, Rachael Ashe and I talk about the power of routine and how tiny daily habits build a sustainable creative practice — especially when life is already full. We dive into discipline over inspiration, internal deadlines, and why tidying your studio still counts as showing up.We also talk about strength training, perimenopause, bone density, and how women are finally having honest conversations about what's happening in our bodies. What started as art night turned into real talk — about ocular migraines, muscle mass, motivation, and why gathering as women matters more than ever.Because sometimes you think you're just going to make art…And you leave feeling seen.Two Takeaway Tips1. A “Stroll” Still Counts.You don't need a perfect two-hour studio session. Ten minutes. Cleaning brushes. Sketching badly. Lifting light weights. Showing up consistently builds identity. Discipline creates freedom.2. Build Your Creative Circle.Host an art night. Join a group. Start small.

Jon Herold went live on Friday the 13th expecting major election bombshells out of Arizona, only to watch what he calls a full-blown rug pull unfold in real time. After hype surrounding a potential Georgia-style election event in Maricopa County, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem instead delivered a press conference centered on promoting the SAVE Act, voter ID requirements, and cleaning up voter rolls. Jon reacts live as the event shifts from anticipated election accountability to what feels like a legislative marketing pitch. He breaks down the optics of holding the press conference in a secure facility, the implications for midterm trust, and the ongoing tension between promised election integrity and actual accountability. Joined briefly by Ashe in America and CannCon, the discussion explores whether Arizona is still on deck for something bigger, or if Americans are being conditioned to accept reform without reconciliation. If you were waiting for fireworks, you're not alone. Jon unpacks the frustration, the strategy, and what this means moving forward.

On this Friday the 13th episode of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America welcome Rachel Alexander to break down the Kristi Noem Arizona hearing, the SAVE Act push, and growing federal scrutiny over election integrity. The conversation digs into Maricopa County controversies, third-party voter challenges, mail-in ballot concerns, and the role of NGOs like Runbeck in ballot processing. The centerpiece of the show is a deep dive into Mark Elias' latest video, where he outlines sweeping proposals to ban third-party voter challenges, centralize certification authority, restrict federal investigations around elections, and shield processes from local scrutiny. The hosts argue his recommendations would eliminate layers of oversight, streamline power to the state level, and block real-time investigations into election irregularities. From certification battles in Arizona and Georgia to debates over federal involvement and voter roll maintenance, this episode explores what the hosts see as an existential clash over transparency, decentralization, and the future structure of American elections.

In Season 2, Episode 5 of The Choice, Ashe in America and Ghost continue their deep discussion through Matthew 4, focusing on the growing public response to Christ's ministry and the tension between healing, authority, and belief. The episode centers on the widening reach of Jesus' works—how news spread across Syria, the gathering of multitudes, and the escalating attention from both the afflicted and the skeptical. Ashe and Ghost explore what it means when power challenges established authority, unpacking the spiritual, political, and social ripple effects of visible transformation.
