Adel Nero and Zak “RedPill78” Paine dig into the escalating attacks on RFK Jr., connecting whistleblower reports of CIA sabotage tactics to the broader deep state war against Trump's health agenda. They highlight how chronic illness and poisoned food systems keep Americans weak, while RFK's push for clean living threatens the establishment. The hosts explore how crimes against children may go beyond trafficking—pointing to vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and nutrition policies that cripple generations. The conversation then shifts to the strange Epstein press conference, where survivors' voices were mixed with political theater aimed at tying Trump to Epstein. Adel and Zak argue that Trump's “hoax” framing was a masterstroke, forcing Congress and media to spotlight Epstein like never before, triggering a wave of demands for transparency. Closing thoughts touch on Thomas Massie's curious role in Washington, MTG's motives, and the bigger picture of transhumanist whispers from Xi and Putin. A heavy yet hopeful episode that ties health, corruption, and narrative warfare into the Great Awakening.
Zak is a long time Ethereum developer and a member of the Ethereum Community Foundation (ECF).In this brief Yield Talks session, we discuss a clever new idea for tracking tokenized burned ETH called BETH, designed to make it easily visible and auditable for anyone who's voluntarily burns ETH to improve ETH's monetary value. Zak shares how it might be useful for Ethereum ecosystem players such as L2s, who could prove how much ETH they've burned from transaction fees with BETH.------

Elizabeth, Zak, and Lucy respond to a parent whose 7-year-old has developed intense separation anxiety—panicking anytime they're apart, even with another parent nearby. The fears center around monsters the kid hasn't seen, but hears about at school. So what do you do when reassurance stops working and fear takes over the routine? But first, we'll circle up for a round of check-ins: Elizabeth recounts a fireworks fiasco, Lucy faces down her daughter's back-to-school worries, and Zak's planning a very special birthday. And on Slate Plus recommendations for parents and kids alike, everything we turn to when anxiety hits. If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.
