CannCon and Alpha Warrior open with a little gun collecting envy and boot camp trauma bonding before diving into the real meat of the night. Alpha lays out his theory on how Trump's national emergency and executive order playbook could reshape the next election, from foreign interference disclosures to what role the National Guard might actually play at the ballot box. From there the guys go head to head on Fauci's pardons, the Supremacy Clause, and whether contempt of Congress actually leads anywhere. Things get even more colorful when a caller who goes by Meds joins in with a deep dive into maritime law, PEADs, and a theory about standing that will have you taking notes whether you agree or not. It is election law, accountability, and a healthy dose of conspiracy talk, wrapped in the usual CannCon and Alpha banter.

Frankie Val warns you up front: no feel good material tonight. This is a demons and schizophrenia special. Returning guests Jerry Marzinski and Judy Gregerson, a former schizophrenic turned deliverance practitioner, share fresh cases, including a woman visited by talking orbs, and press the show's recurring theory that not every inner voice is your own. Frankie runs live audience polls (most say yes, they have heard a thought that did not feel like theirs) and plays clips from an Instagram creator narrating his own hallucinations in real time.
Before the guests, expect a detour through Reddit covens trying to hex Trump, MAGA mages casting counter spells, and a raffle featuring a hyperinflated 1923 Weimar papermark to commemorate the coming $40 trillion debt.
The back half turns practical and grim: police in Wisconsin using Flock cameras to track a man across state lines and build a pretext search, plus the rising public resistance to the sprawling Flock network and the specter of fabricated, synthetic crime.

CannCon and Ashe in America wrap up Chapter 10 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, finally closing out the Mandrake Mechanism and the entire first section of the book. This week covers reserve ratios and just how arbitrary they really are, why national debt and inflation are not always the same beast, and the strange history of the 1980s bond market that briefly kept inflation in check. The hosts also dig into some of the names behind the Federal Reserve system itself, from the Bretton Woods architects to the Wall Street connections that helped push the Federal Reserve Act through Congress in the first place. Expect a heavier academic stretch than usual, some genuine frustration at how little has changed, and the usual sponsor detours along the way. It is a dense one, but the payoff is worth it.

Jon Herold pre records a lighter Thursday show ahead of a Florida trip, walking through John Solomon's latest declassified documents on a 2020 Maricopa County voter data hack that the Biden Justice Department never prosecuted, though he admits the release feels underwhelming compared to what he was hoping for. He covers the Senate Homeland Security Committee voting to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress despite his Biden era pardon, a Washington Post report on Trump and Hegseth clashing over munitions shortages that the White House denies happened, and a striking story on Palantir's remarkably low effective tax rate. There's also a look at online debate swirling around General Flynn's paid speaking activities, jobless claims data, and a viral burrito pricing controversy tied to affordability complaints. Sponsor reads, birthday shoutouts, and Sunday meetup details for Jupiter, Florida round out a shorter but newsy show.

Ashe in America and Ghost kick off Season 5 of The Chosen, and this season comes with a twist: nearly the entire storyline unfolds inside the final six days before the Last Supper, told in a way one host compares to a Christopher Nolan film. Episode one opens on Palm Sunday, and the hosts dig into how differently each disciple carries themselves as the crowds cheer, with Judas especially swept up in the moment in a way that says a lot about where his story is headed. From there they trace the walk into Jerusalem, the weight of what everyone senses is coming, and a pivotal, fiery scene at the temple that seals Jesus's fate. Expect callbacks to the wilderness tabernacle, some sharp historical context on money changers and taxation, and plenty of banter between two hosts who clearly cannot wait for this season to unfold. They close out with a first look at the Season 6 trailer, so stick around.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior dig into a wild Michigan Senate primary where a DSA backed candidate just overcame a mountain of establishment money and a Whitmer endorsement to beat out the party favorite, setting up a fascinating general election matchup. They play through commentary connecting the win to deeper Muslim Brotherhood ties and unpack a surprising story about a longtime blue blooded Democrat considering crossing party lines over the Israel issue alone. From there they turn to John Fetterman candidly talking to Sean Hannity in a clip the hosts say says the quiet part out loud about where the Democratic Socialist wing of the party is really headed. Expect plenty of sharp commentary on the widening rift inside the Democratic coalition and what it could mean heading into the midterms.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright dig deep into Andrew McCabe's own handwritten memos, piecing together the timeline from his firing to the launch of the investigation into Trump, complete with a Kamala Harris clip grilling McCabe that adds some extra context. It's detail heavy stuff, the kind of episode where the receipts do most of the talking.
The second half takes a sharper turn, with Burning Bright calling out the Q community's habit of retroactively claiming they "knew" someone was a bad actor only after it becomes public record, while staying silent or even hostile toward Badlands and similar accounts pointing it out in real time. There's a direct ask to remember this moment for later. Add in a preview of an upcoming substack piece on what's being called the Democrat doom loop, and it's a mix of historical digging and present day accountability.

After nearly two years off the live mic, GMoney reunites with Patriots in Progress (Pip) for a wide-ranging, unhurried conversation that treats the current Bitcoin chaos as almost the calmest thing in the room. The two old comrades compare notes on surviving fifth-generation warfare, toxic maximalism, and the exhausting theater of geopolitics, arguing that stepping back is the only way to stay sane while the noose slowly tightens around the enemy. Expect a heavy dose of Pip's deep dive into Ecclesiastes, spiritual warfare, and why he thinks Bible prophecy is looking more plausible by the year, all woven together with the usual frog-adjacent banter. Along the way you get thoughts on Israel, tokenization, X Chain, and Satoshi's cryptographic roots in wartime code-breaking. Part reunion, part sermon, part signal-versus-noise pep talk, this one is a slower burn for listeners who care more about first principles than the daily shiny object.

Shipwreck welcomes Bigfoot specialist Snake, who claims to have found and preserved an actual specimen in the Adirondacks, and the conversation goes places you would not expect. They compare his find to the legendary Giant of Kandahar, debate Nephilim theories, and get into the government attention, harassment, and outright threats he says followed once he went public at the New York State Fair. Snake shares details on the specimen's anatomy, how he thinks it died, and his tips for surviving your own encounter. After the interview, Shipwreck riffs solo on the ongoing Mitch McConnell disappearance saga, Lindsey Graham's sister taking his seat, and a genuinely bizarre Perez Hilton meltdown tied to an Ariana Grande music video. It is part cryptid deep dive, part political fever dream, and entirely Shipwreck. Next week brings even more Bigfoot talk with a video game developer.

Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast and Chris Ponder take a 50,000 foot view this week, framing the whole "tools for truth" project through a military lens: the OODA loop. Observe, orient, decide, act, and whoever moves through that loop faster wins, whether it's a battlefield or the information war we're all living in. Kwast draws on everything from Sun Tzu to John Boyd to explain why speed and clarity matter so much right now, while Chris recaps the framework built across the last few episodes, life, logic, space, spectrum, form, force, ledger, capability, and starts connecting it to something bigger: an information economy built the way a periodic table or a blockchain gets built, one verified piece at a time. It's part strategy briefing, part philosophy class, and it ends on a reminder that none of these tools matter without the moral foundation to use them well.
