Nolan Higdon and Ron Placone return to tackle a week of state-sponsored intimidation, high-stakes surveillance, and the erosion of the First Amendment. We dive into the aftermath of the Washington dinner shooting and the immediate rise of "ballroom truthers," before pivoting to the terrifying expansion of domestic spying under the Trump administration—aided by a handful of key Democrats.

We also examine the FCC's unprecedented move to yank Disney’s broadcast licenses as retaliation for Jimmy Kimmel’s satire, the IRS’s massive new data-mining partnership with Palantir, and the chilling revelation that MK-ULTRA experiments were conducted on Korean War POWs. From the betrayal of progressive values in California to the rise of "casino journalism," we break down how the establishment is betting against the public interest.

  • WHCD Shooting & Conspiracy Culture: Analyzing the "false flag" rumors and "ballroom truthers" emerging from the chaos at the Washington dinner.

  • The Surveillance Four: Meet the four Democrats who hold the keys to Trump’s warrantless domestic spying powers and why they might just hand them over.

  • The IRS & Palantir: How the IRS is leveraging "massive-scale" data mining to peer into your private life under a new federal contract.

  • The War on Satire: The FCC moves against Disney/ABC in an attempt to silence Jimmy Kimmel, marking a direct assault on the First Amendment.

  • MK-ULTRA Unveiled: New CIA documents confirm the U.S. ran psychological experiments on Korean War POWs.

  • The Death of Dissent: The DHS seeks to deny Green Cards to immigrants who criticize Israel, while the Senate (with Fetterman’s help) clears the path for war on Cuba.

  • Bernie’s Group Goes Billionaire: Why Our Revolution is endorsing Tom Steyer for California Governor and what it means for progressive politics.

  • Casino Journalism: The rise of prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket, and the U.S. soldier charged with using classified intel to win a $400k bet on a Maduro raid.

  • Environmental Assault: Trump’s executive order on Glyphosate (Roundup) and the plan to spray our forests despite massive health concerns.
