Jordan and Nate also explore RFK’s efforts to rein in the health insurance industry with reforms aimed at slashing prior authorization delays and expanding care access for millions.

Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 18: The Silk Road Revival, Kazakhstan’s Pivot, and the Hidden Wars for Trade - June 27, 2025

In this sweeping episode, Ghost breaks down why geography is destiny, and how the old Silk Road trade routes are being revived to reshape global power. He explores Kazakhstan’s sudden importance as Russia, China, and Iran link up railways and pipelines in a new Eurasian triangle that cuts out Western influence. From Chinese investment treaties and Saudi port expansions to Russia’s quiet nuclear deals across Africa and Central Asia, Ghost unpacks how the multipolar world is materializing beneath the headlines.
He dives into the Astana Process, the shadowy Astana city itselfJor, and the strategic chessboard of Central Asia that echoes ancient Mongol invasions and Ottoman history. You’ll also hear why pipeline routes matter more than media narratives, how rare earth minerals in the Congo fuel everything from iPhones to missiles, and why seemingly disconnected conflicts in Ukraine, Armenia, and the DRC are all part of the same supply chain struggle. Complete with maps, historical context, and a big dose of skepticism about legacy media, this is a masterclass in understanding the economic and geographic forces behind today’s headlines.

In this marathon Friday broadcast, CannCon and Chris Paul guide listeners through a day packed with monumental Supreme Court decisions and unraveling narratives. The hosts break down the ruling limiting nationwide injunctions, a game-changer for lawfare against Trump, alongside other split decisions on government overreach, Medicaid cuts, and LGBTQ curriculum opt-outs.

SITREP Ep. 120: Bin Laden, Benghazi, and the Black Budget – Unmasking Decades of Treachery

In this explosive episode, CannCon and Alpha Warrior are joined by Nick Noe for a deep, unflinching look at some of the most controversial operations of the modern era. Nick walks through the tangled web connecting Osama bin Laden, Extortion 17, and the Benghazi attacks, explaining Alan Howell Parrot’s extensive evidence that bin Laden was sheltered in Iran and that the infamous SEAL Team 6 raid was a staged trophy kill. The trio dives into the CIA’s covert Safari Club, secret payouts, and weapons trafficking under Hillary Clinton, including the flow of Stinger missiles through Benghazi that were later used to shoot down American helicopters.
They also break down how black budgets and stay-behind networks shaped regime change from Iran to Ukraine, and why General Dan “Raisin” Kane’s sudden rise to power signals a larger military restructuring. With stories of vanishing witnesses, threats against whistleblowers, and decades of hidden crimes, this episode is a marathon of classified history, raw frustration, and a call to expose it all.

Quite Frankly Ep. 12: NYC Socialist Backfire, Silver Missiles, EXTRAS ft Rich Baris, Tony Arterburn 6/26/25

In this sprawling, unscripted episode, Frankie Val welcomes Rich Baris and Tony Arterburn to dig into the political, financial, and cultural minefield of modern America. Rich Baris joins first to break down the stunning New York City Democratic primary, explaining how Zoran Mamdani’s radical tax policies and socialist platform were driven not by immigrants but by wealthy, guilt-ridden white liberals. They discuss the generational fracture inside the Democratic Party and the establishment’s fear of the young activist wing they can no longer control. Frankie and Rich also debate the fallout of Trump’s Iran strikes and how public opinion among independents is shifting in ways that could reshape 2024.
In the second half, Tony Arterburn analyzes the eerie calm in the markets after the Iran bombing, speculates on the strategic role of silver in modern warfare, and shares insights on why precious metals remain suppressed despite rising demand. The show weaves in humor, personal anecdotes, and a dash of UFO talk, all while questioning the sanity of the political class and the future of America’s institutions.

With Rich Barris joining the first half of the episode, the hosts analyze what Mamdani’s rise signals for the city, the Democrat Party, and the country at large. The discussion dives deep into the role of unchecked immigration, liberal self-loathing, and a cultural death spiral enabled by what they see as suicidal white progressivism.
