The episode explodes with Trump's bold Tesla purchase, a defiant move amid the relentless assault on Tesla's American innovation. But the bombshell? Gen Flynn's claim of an assassination contract on Alex Jones takes a dark twist—whispers are growing that Flynn himself might be part of the problem, suspected of running psyops to infiltrate and undermine the Patriot, America-First, MAGA movement. The hosts dig deep, questioning if the deep state's got a mole in their ranks. The Trump-Massie feud heats up as the Massie crew gets sassy with Trump, but Jeffrey and Shannon call out Massie's betrayal of the MAGA mission with fierce clarity.
