What if I told you the biggest threat to those in power isn’t a foreign adversary, a rogue politician, or even a broken system — it’s us. United.
In this episode, we dig deeper into the concept of unity — the one thing powerful enough to truly shake the foundations of our divided nation. We explore why politicians and media outlets work so hard to keep us at each other’s throats, and how differences have been weaponized to distract us from our shared struggles.
We’ll unpack the true cost of division: economic setbacks, community breakdown, and the erosion of critical thinking. We’ll also imagine what real unity could look like — and why it terrifies the people pulling the strings.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about left vs. right. It’s about the top vs. the rest of us.
If you’re tired of fighting your neighbors instead of the real enemy, this episode is for you. Let’s break the cycle and reclaim our power — together.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
