Jon Herold and Chris Paul kick off with midterm convention takeaways before Herold recaps some heated online fights he got into this week over the tariff dividend proposal. From there they dig into Joe DiGenova stepping away from the RICO grand conspiracy case in Florida, a development the guys clearly think deserves more attention than it's getting. There's also a stretch on the AI race and what they see as an operation forming around it, plus the usual mailbag style rundown of superchats and viewer comments covering everything from debt policy pushback to a North Dakota State football shoutout. An Aaron Rodgers clip closes things out if time allows, giving the episode a lighter final note after a fairly dense couple of hours.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine bring back Mandela effect subject matter expert Josh Reid for round two, picking up a thread they didn't have time to finish last time. Josh steps into the role of true believer while Jon plays skeptic in chief, and the two go back and forth all night with genuine friction and mutual respect. Expect a deep cut Philip K. Dick speech that gets treated as something close to prophecy, a Terence McKenna clip about "novelty theory" that has aged strangely well, and a fresh batch of reality glitches that longtime viewers of the effect will want to weigh in on. It's a smorgasbord of misremembered logos, altered history, and the kind of confident reasoning that makes you second guess your own memory by the end of the hour, all wrapped in the usual studio banter and sponsor breaks.

Josh Reid flies solo this Sunday, with Alpha Warrior home sick, and turns it into his first solo Badlands show. On the itinerary: the AI fear porn cycle and why the doom mongering matters for what comes next technologically, plus a Peter Thiel clip Josh reads as secretly on the right side of the argument. From there it is Trump against the globalists, framed as an unfolding fight with the old guard, the London bankers and the leftover institutions of the British Empire, freshly relevant after Trump's Ireland trip. Josh works the rumor mill on why Joe diGenova abruptly resigned from the Florida grand jury investigating Brennan, tying it back to that August meeting with Blanche and Cash Patel and what it signals about pending indictments. He closes on the midterms, Trump's $5,000 dividend check as incentive, and why he thinks an economic boom lands around 2027. Bring your gold bug curiosity.

The crew dives into a genuinely wild story about a green card holder who worked his way into a Customs and Border Protection job at a major crossing, only to get arrested for allegedly swapping out government hardware for compromised parts. That kicks off a broader, sometimes contentious debate about immigration enforcement, detention camps, and a recent court decision limiting how long ICE can hold detainees without a warrant. On the lighter side, there's a genuinely funny catch: a Massachusetts senate campaign ad that appears to lift its closing line almost word for word from a Scorsese movie, seemingly without anyone on the campaign noticing. The back half turns to courtroom drama with reactions to the Lindsay Clancy verdict and some pointed questions about jury composition. Sponsor breaks, tangents, and the usual banter round things out.

CannCon and Ashe in America press into Chapter 14 of The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin, titled The Best Enemy Money Can Buy, and the story gets darker fast. This week covers the actual coup that brought the Bolshevik minority to power in Russia, the New York financiers hiding behind Red Cross credentials, and the gap between the official humanitarian story and what really happened. The hosts unpack the two separate revolutions of 1917, why Lenin and Trotsky were not even in Russia when the first one occurred, and how a well funded minority faction ended up controlling an entire nation almost overnight. They also open the door into a side trip through World War II and the financing of both sides of that conflict, though the chapter is not finished this week. Expect uncomfortable parallels to modern events and plenty of genuine disbelief from the hosts.
