A buried detail from Epstein’s past shows up out of nowhere and blows up the entire Thanksgiving warm-up. One second it’s holiday chatter, the next it’s the lemon detail nobody wanted resurfacing and derailing the room instantly.

From that moment on, the episode just snowballs. Reactions get louder, tangents get stranger, and every joke lands harder than the last. It’s pure Friday Happy Hour chaos, the kind where one ridiculous moment fuels another until you’re deep into a two-hour spiral of “how did we get here?”

Saudi Arabia’s influence over U.S. strategy runs deeper than most people realize, and Colonel Roxane Towner-Watkins returns to map out the hidden pressure points shaping today’s geopolitical landscape. She and Keith Malinak explore the unspoken leverage that keeps the U.S.–Saudi relationship locked in place, even as global alliances shift and domestic institutions crack under their own weight.

This conversation breaks down:

• How Saudi oil, military dependency, and historical power shape a quiet influence on Washington
• Why global alliances are shifting faster than the public sees
• How Venezuela’s instability connects to CIA operations, cartels, and regional pressure
• Why exploding drug boats signal something deeper than “drug enforcement”
• How institutional failures inside the FBI weaken American leverage abroad
• Why do global players like China use these fractures to accelerate their own strategy
• And how all these pressure points sit on one interconnected geopolitical board

Rather than walking through headlines, this episode connects the forces driving them: state power, covert influence, resource battles, and the hidden negotiations that shape the modern world.

Chapters:

• 00:00 – Thanksgiving, Headlines, and a Chaotic Week
•  02:33 – Arctic Frost and Surveillance Tech Concerns
•  08:18 – Venezuela’s Crisis and Regional Fallout
•  11:34 – CIA Influence and Power Players Inside Venezuela
•  18:16 – Drug Routes, Raids, and Hidden Operations
•  27:41 – Chemical Warfare Framed as “Drug Policy”
•  35:12 – Saudi Arabia’s Past and Violent Power Foundations
•  40:23 – Middle East Power Games and Shifting Deals
•  49:22 – MBS, Influence, and the Modern Saudi Equation

Election researcher and technology inventor Jovan Hutton Pulitzer returns alongside author Eve DePita for a new chapter in our ongoing series on election systems, ballot processes, and the difference between fraud and maladministration.

This conversation breaks down:

• How voter rolls and ballot production are manipulated before votes are ever cast
• Why paper ballots, not machines, are the core battleground
• How QR codes, ballot envelopes, and overprinting quietly shift outcomes
• And why citizen engagement, not bureaucracy, is the final safeguard of the vote

Pulitzer and DePita argue that the real threat to elections isn’t futuristic hacking—it's low-tech procedural breakdown that occurs in the open, protected by vague language in law and unaccountable oversight systems.

If you care about election transparency, public accountability, or the civic responsibility of voters, this episode offers critical context and direction.

Chapter Guide

• 00:00 – Why “fraud” is the wrong word
•  04:21 – The ballot manufacturing pipeline
•  12:15 – Contracts, printers, and oversight loopholes
•  19:48 – Citizen consent and voice
•  27:37 – How ballot envelopes reveal vote intent
•  35:22 – QR codes and transparency loss
•  48:01 – Maladministration vs. fraud
•  56:12 – How systems maintain power
•  1:05:47 – Your legal role in elections
•  1:15:33 – Closing message: “The power is with the people.”

In this Halloween edition of At The Mic, Keith Malinak sits down with veteran ghost hunter Tom Carr, who brings over 40 years of experience in the paranormal to the table. This isn’t your average ghost story chat. Tom unpacks the real, raw side of paranormal investigation, from the gear that works to the spirits that follow you home.

You’ll also hear about the surprising role of group psychology in paranormal investigations, and how emotional energy can influence what happens during a hunt. Tom and Keith take a thoughtful dive into what counts as legitimate evidence and how experienced investigators assess everything from cold spots to full-body apparitions. But things take a darker turn when Tom shares stories about the dangerous side of ghost hunting, including encounters with malevolent forces, the risks of using Ouija boards, and moments that made him question whether some spirits want to help or harm.

This deep-dive episode blends haunted history, spiritual belief, and firsthand supernatural experience, perfect for skeptics, believers, and anyone curious about what really lurks beyond the veil.

Topics in this episode include:

• How Tom Carr got started in ghost hunting
• The tools ghost hunters really use (and which ones work)
• How group dynamics can shape paranormal outcomes
• What counts as real evidence in the field
• The dark side of ghost hunting: spirits, risks, and red flags

Listen now and ask yourself: Would you go on a ghost hunt after this?
