Culture of Change Ep. 141: One Conversation at a Time

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.

The episode also highlights the challenges and rewards of building a farm based business while staying true to quality and transparency.

Y-Chromes Ep. 73: Beards, Brotherhood, and the Battle for the Republic

In Episode 73 of Y-Chromes, CannCon, JB White, and Cam Cooksey return for another unapologetically masculine roundtable that blends humor, cultural commentary, and serious geopolitical discussion. The conversation moves from beard grooming, gym culture, and fatherhood to deeper questions about modern masculinity and the role men must play in rebuilding strong communities.
The hosts tackle current events, political narratives, and the growing cultural divide in America while reflecting on how men can lead with strength, discipline, and responsibility. Along the way, they debate media narratives, discuss health and lifestyle choices, and keep things light with plenty of laughs and off-the-rails moments that make Y-Chromes what it is.
It’s a mix of brotherhood, debate, and blunt truth telling as the guys sort through what it means to be a man in a time when everything seems designed to confuse the issue.

Badlands Daily: 3/9/26 - FBI Raid in Maricopa County and the Expanding Election Investigation

In this March 9 episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak Paine unpack breaking news that the FBI reportedly seized election records from Maricopa County, Arizona as part of an expanding voting investigation. The hosts discuss the significance of federal authorities quietly obtaining files from the nation’s largest election jurisdiction and what it could signal about the direction of ongoing investigations.
The conversation explores how the Maricopa action may connect to earlier investigations in places like Fulton County, with speculation that corroborating evidence from multiple jurisdictions could open the door to broader probes across other states. CannCon and Zak also examine the timing of the raid, the possibility that the operation was conducted quietly while public attention focused elsewhere, and why they believe Arizona may only be the beginning.
The episode closes with discussion about potential next steps, including whether Michigan and other states could become the focus of additional investigations as more documentation and whistleblower accounts surface.

RattlerGator Report: 3/9/26 - Discernment, the Trump Doctrine, and the Global Strategy Most People Are Missing

JB White opens the week celebrating a dominant Florida Gators basketball win before turning to what he believes is a much bigger story unfolding globally. The discussion quickly pivots to the importance of discernment in a chaotic information environment, where competing narratives, intelligence operations, and geopolitical propaganda are constantly shaping online discourse.
JB highlights a series of posts breaking down what he describes as the Trump Doctrine, a strategic framework aimed at dismantling hostile alliances and reasserting American power across the Western Hemisphere and beyond. He argues that recent moves involving Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba are not isolated events but part of a coordinated effort to neutralize threats that have been building for decades.
Throughout the episode, JB pushes back against what he sees as misinformation circulating in political commentary circles, including narratives about Russia, Israel, and global alliances. He urges listeners to step back from distractions, examine the broader strategic board, and recognize what he believes is a historic geopolitical shift taking place under President Trump’s leadership.

Q After Hours Ep. 19: Iran War Panic, Draft Rumors, and the Information War Behind the Headlines

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid dig into the unfolding geopolitical drama surrounding Iran and the broader Middle East, exploring how modern conflicts are fought as much through narratives as through missiles. The hosts examine how competing information streams, media panic, and viral social media claims can shape public perception faster than actual events on the ground.
They also discuss the strategic logic behind recent military movements, questioning whether the true objective is regime destabilization, deterrence, or something far more complex happening behind the scenes. Along the way, the conversation turns toward psychological operations, information warfare, and how propaganda from multiple sides can muddy the waters for everyday observers trying to understand what is really happening.
With a mix of geopolitical analysis, commentary on online influencers, and reflections on the role of the Q community in interpreting current events, this episode challenges listeners to think critically about how narratives are constructed during times of conflict and why the first version of a story is rarely the full picture.

The Narrative Ep. 61: Sovereign Prime

Burning Bright welcomes Jonathan Drake back to The Narrative for a philosophical deep dive into power, leadership, and the evolving role of Donald Trump in his second term. Framed around the idea of “Sovereign Prime,” the conversation explores whether Trump is redefining presidential authority or exposing the deeper mechanics of how power actually flows in the American system. Burning and Drake examine media narratives, the concept of collective mandate, and the idea that the government “machine” ultimately draws its power from the people it governs. Along the way they unpack the difference between perceived authority and real authority, debate how Trump challenges traditional constitutional norms, and explore the possibility that the most lasting shift may be psychological rather than political. The episode blends humor, philosophy, and narrative analysis in classic Narrative fashion as the hosts ask a deceptively simple question: where does power really come from?

No Treason Podcast Ep. 22: Is Natural Law Certain? Spooner’s Case for Jury Power

In Episode 22 of the No Treason Podcast, Jonathan Drake continues his exploration of Lysander Spooner’s Trial by Jury, tackling the fifth and most commonly cited objection to jury power: the claim that if juries judge the law, the law itself becomes uncertain. Drake walks through Spooner’s rebuttal step by step, contrasting the supposed certainty of statutory law with the reality of an ever-changing maze of legislation, precedent, and judicial interpretation.
The discussion centers on the difference between natural law and fiat law, arguing that the principles of justice understood by ordinary people provide far more stability than a system dominated by lawyers, statutes, and shifting court rulings. Drake explains how natural law forms the interpretive foundation for all written law and why removing that foundation has created the labyrinthine legal system people fear today.
Along the way, he examines how representative government contributed to the centralization of power and the erosion of true jury authority. The episode ultimately argues that restoring trial by jury as the final arbiter of law would decentralize power, protect individual rights, and return the enforcement of justice to the people themselves.

Devolution Power Hour Ep. 438: Truth Movements, Devolution Paths, and the Fracture in the Awakening

Jon Herold and Chris Paul return for another Devolution Power Hour as they unpack the fallout from last week’s controversial episode and the growing fractures within the truth movement. Reflecting on the intense reaction to the Iran discussion, the hosts explore why major political events often create ideological purity tests inside communities that were once aligned.
The conversation dives into the concept of competing “worldviews” that attempt to explain the same events. Jon breaks down how the Devolution framework differs from other interpretations of the post-2020 political landscape while still arriving at some similar conclusions. Rather than dismissing other perspectives outright, the hosts argue that different analytical paths can lead observers to overlapping but distinct understandings of what may be happening behind the scenes.
From there, the discussion broadens into the psychology of truth movements and why they historically fracture over time. Jon and Chris examine the influence of mainstream media narratives, the persistence of the two-party paradigm, and the difficulty many people have in letting go of the political system they were raised to believe in. The episode ultimately challenges listeners to question where their assumptions come from and whether their analysis is truly independent of the same information pipelines they claim to distrust.

PEOPLE EP. 20: Jay Gatling from Badge to Broadcast and the Day That Changed Everything

In this episode of People, Alpha Warrior sits down with former NYPD and Port Authority Police officer Jay Gatling for a deeply personal conversation about service, sacrifice, and the moments that shape a life. Jay shares his upbringing on Long Island, the path that led him to law enforcement, and the mindset that drove him to pursue the badge from a young age.
The discussion turns to September 11th and the profound impact it had on Jay’s career and the nation. He recounts the morning he first heard about the attacks, the eerie drive through empty New York roads, and the reality facing first responders in the days that followed. Jay reflects on the brotherhood of law enforcement, the weight of losing colleagues over the years, and the lessons learned from decades of service.
From his role as a union delegate advocating for fellow officers to his eventual retirement and new chapter in media, Jay explains how his voice found a new platform through podcasting and social media. It is a story about resilience, loyalty, and finding purpose long after the uniform comes off.
