Jon Herold and Zak Paine kick things off with fresh Fang Fang document drops, digging into some genuinely eyebrow raising details about a certain congressman's staff interviews and just how much got quietly swept under the rug when that whole scandal wrapped up.Then the guys settle in for the night's main event, a decades old theory claiming horror novelist Stephen King was secretly behind one of the most infamous assassinations in music history. It's got hidden codes in magazine covers, mismatched

Ashe in America welcomes former Miss Colorado, Senate and House candidate Deborah Flora for a wide ranging conversation on what it actually means to be "post partisan" in a state where most voters are unaffiliated. The two dig into Colorado's caucus system, why it can both empower grassroots candidates and shut them out, and whether the two party structure still reflects how people actually vote. Deborah shares her own experience running outside the caucus process and what that taught her about

Breaking Free of Psyops Ep. 18: Khazaria

2026/08/18

Fresh off last week's fallout, Matthew Ehret dives straight into the deep end of internet conspiracy lore: the Khazarian empire. If you've ever heard someone blame the world's problems on "Khazarian mafia" bloodlines, this episode traces that idea back to its unlikely source, including a certain shape shifting lizard theorist from the late 90s, and asks how much of the popular Khazarian narrative actually holds up against the historical record. Ehret builds on his prior conversation about chivalric

Football season has arrived, and the crew wastes no time debating whose game day schedule reigns supreme (East Coast breakfast kickoffs versus West Coast five-beers-deep mornings) before diving into a coffee-warmer appreciation segment that somehow doubles as a good-brew sponsor read. The meat of this episode is ESPN's three-year future power rankings, and the guys tear into them team by team. Expect a genuinely heated defense of Jordan Love as a tier-one quarterback, shots at the "emerging tier

2026/08/17

Ashe, Christy, and Jackie kick off with a genuinely fascinating history lesson on the origin of pass the buck, tracing it from a 19th century poker table all the way to Harry Truman's Oval Office desk sign. It is one of those rabbit holes you did not know you needed. Then the tone shifts as Ashe and a guest dig into the fresh reporting on Eric Swalwell and his relationship with alleged Chinese intelligence asset Fang Fang, questioning what Congress knew, when they knew it, and why accountability

Jon Herold digs deep into newly declassified FBI files on suspected Chinese operative Christine Fang, nicknamed "Rusty Thumbs" by investigators, and her years long relationship with Congressman Eric Swalwell, walking through the FBI's failed attempt to recruit her as a source before pivoting to a campaign corruption investigation that ultimately closed without charges. He builds out a detailed theory around a still classified National Security Presidential Memorandum he believes triggered the

CannCon and Zak Paine kick off Monday with a Kushner and Grinnell clip on longevity and priorities after leaving the White House, plus a quick check in on the surprise hurricane that battered Hawaii over the weekend. The real headline is a resurfaced Terry Moran interview where the ABC correspondent admits network brass killed his own investigation into the COVID lab leak theory back in 2021, a story the hosts say deserves way more attention than it has gotten. They also touch on a memoir clip

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid pour the coffee (with a little something extra) and dig into the drip of declassification they say has been building since June 30. Josh walks the thread from Tulsi Gabbard's Ukraine biolab and Wuhan disclosures through the Fauci gain of function texts, then into Trump's address on hundreds of millions of voter records stolen by China across 18 states. The heart of it is three FBI counterintelligence operations, Oxford Comma, March Toll, and Round River, which they argue

The Narrative Ep. 78: The Final Convergence

2026/08/17

Part two of the Burning Bright and Ghost saga. Last week gave us the final boss, so naturally this week brings the final convergence, a title Burning Bright cheerfully admits his past self chose despite using "convergence" in roughly half his episodes. This one is meant to be bicameral: two proxy states, two bosses, one game board. The promise for tonight, delivered with maximum deadpan, is to discuss Ukrainians, Israelis, and Nazis, and whether there is any difference between the three. Totally

2026/08/17

Jonathan Drake shifts gears into chapter three of Spooner's Science of Justice, trading the tight logical if then structure for a narrative history lesson on how despotic government actually got started. Spoiler, it was not a noble experiment gone wrong. Spooner traces a direct line from ancient bands of robbers plundering agrarian farmers, to slaveholders realizing chains were bad optics, to the modern representative government that convinces everyone to vote for their own subjection.

The crew can't quite believe how much oxygen a paid Charlie Kirk assassination debate sucked up online this week, and spends a solid chunk of time roasting the whole "we'll figure out who killed him by watching two influencers argue" premise. From there it's on to a pop quiz built from the week's Badlands headlines, covering a contested Attorney General confirmation vote, an FBI investigation that followed James Comey's firing, and a leaked characterization of Biden Ukraine corruption allegations

Newly clean-shaven host Matt Trump (yes, he shaved the beard) delivers part four of his summer abroad walking tour, back in London as the self-described Rick Steves of Badlands. After brief detours on odd Wisconsin election results and AI watermarking, he cues up the 1953 Ivanhoe trailer and walks you upstream along the Thames, past Blackfriars, to the round Temple Church at the heart of the medieval Inns of Court. The main event is the Knights Templar. Framed archaeologically rather than as pure

Jordan and Nate break down a genuinely massive news week starting with Trump's executive order slashing the recommended childhood vaccine schedule and splitting up the MMR shot, plus the predictably unhinged media freakout that followed. From there they dig into HHS's new "Wolves in White Coats" report, which refers hospitals accused of profiting off pediatric gender medicine to the DOJ, and cover Medicaid's decision to stop funding transition procedures for minors. Lighter but still eye opening

CannCon and Ashe in America leave the world of pure banking history behind for a moment and step into Chapter 11 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, opening a new section the book calls The New Alchemy. The theme this week is grim but fascinating: how the same fiat money mechanism used to fund banks has also quietly funded wars, and how the profits of war have historically flowed to a very specific set of financiers rather than to nations or causes. The hosts dig into the rise

The throughline for the night is clear: the intelligence community, not any one political figure, is squarely in the crosshairs of these disclosures.Herold breaks out one of his all time favorite Trump clips, a rapid fire rundown of Russiagate, the Mueller probe, both impeachments, the

Jon Herold digs deep into newly declassified documents revealing that the FBI's "Round river" operation buried corruption reporting from 14 confidential human sources on Joe Biden while formally labeling officials like Bill Barr and Mike Pompeo as Russian disinformation conduits. He ties this fresh evidence back to Hunter Biden's laptop emails and the Blue Star Strategies contract timeline to argue the Tucker Carlson led "redemption tour" is conveniently timed to counter the release. He also plays a

Eleven defendants, over a thousand sham marriages, and tens of millions of dollars, DOJ pulls back the curtain on what officials call one of the largest marriage fraud prosecutions in U.S. history. The Attorney General walks through a decade long scheme pairing Chinese nationals with paid American citizens in fake weddings, complete with staged photos, prenups, and a whole cottage industry of recruiters and officiants, before handing things to SDNY's U.S. Attorney and an HSI deputy to break down how

CannCon and Ashe bring on voting systems expert Clay Parikh for an urgent breakdown of a wild overnight development in Wisconsin, where five out of nine election USB drives reportedly downloaded audit logs instead of actual vote totals, delaying results and prompting officials to call it simple human error. Clay walks through the technical documentation and explains why that explanation does not hold up nearly as cleanly as election officials are claiming. From there the show shifts into a look at a

CannCon and Ashe in America bill this one as the second Bad Mood Hour, and fair warning, you may leave a little triggered. This time the focus shifts away from machines and mail-in ballots to the thing nobody talks about enough: voter registration itself. Their guest is Kim Brooks of theGANerds, back after a couple of years and armed with receipts. She lays out what she calls Georgia's DART database, a shadow set of registration IDs that surface on the public rolls for days or never at all, then
