Ethan Middleton of Middleton Made joins Culture Warfare to go deep on 3D printed guns, DIY 2A, and how modern “ghost gun” panic totally misses what builders are actually doing. We cover the FGC‑9, Decker 9, Glock and AR FRT builds, suppressors and the new e‑Form era, plus 37mm launchers, mini mortars, and anti‑drone shotgun and 5.56 shot concepts. Ethan explains legal landmines around NFA items, why state ghost‑gun bans are a trap, and how to stay on the right side of the law while still building serious DIY hardware. There’s also talk about Roswell’s S3RM 9x39 projects, 8.6 Blackout on deer, Vice and CBC ghost‑gun coverage, COVID, replacement‑theory black pills, and raising kids safely around firearms in a culture that openly hates gun people.
​

Trump’s first year back in office, the Iran war, Epstein files, gun culture, and why nobody wants to fight for Israel – this episode of Cultural Warfare goes fully unhinged in the best way possible.
​
We kick things off with fast food conspiracies (RIP Wendy’s, long live Culver’s), a stolen Staccato mag, and why “Gucci Glocks” now cost as much as a SIG 21-11. Then we dive into the 2011 market, suppressor drama around the SAW Tisha and Pew Science testing, and why some numbers look like they’re breaking physics.
​
From there, it gets political. We talk Dan Crenshaw losing his primary, Brandon Herrera’s upset win, AIPAC money, and why “America First” candidates keep turning into Israel First once they’re in D.C. We go through Hillary Clinton’s Epstein deposition freakout, the “frazzledrip” lore, and how the ruling class never seems to play by the same rules as everyone else.
​
On foreign policy, we cover Trump’s pro-Israel rhetoric, the Iran–Israel war footage, submarines deleting Iranian ships, U.S. F-15s allegedly shot down by Kuwaiti allies, and whether any of this is actually in America’s interest. A Marine vet gets his arm broken protesting a pro-Israel war vote, recruitment propaganda gets absurd, and we ask what options U.S. troops really have if they don’t want to fight for Israel.
​
If you’re into guns, politics, war footage, and questioning the narrative – this episode is for you.

In this episode of Culture Warfare, the boys break down the never-ending “Glock killer” hype and rank a massive list of Glock clones, striker‑fired competitors, and Gucci builds in a full tier list. They talk Ruger RXM, Shadow Systems, Bear Creek, Anderson Kiger, Turkish specials, bullpup Israeli clones, Taran Tactical Combat Masters, Agency builds, and why Glock still dominates on reliability, aftermarket, and cop trade‑in value.​

Along the way there’s Mossad phishing stories via “old frisbee coach” emails, Lucas Botkin’s Gen 6 beavertail surgery, ACOG memes, and why everyone should stop coping and just buy a Glock or M&P if they can’t decide. The guys also hit Jim Carrey “body double” conspiracies, CIA Project Artichoke vaccine docs, cartel vs. Mexican military chaos, why “cartel special forces” are just Teemu LARPers with Amazon helmets, and why a cartel invasion of the US would be suicide against an armed populace and US logistics.​

On the politics side, they cover rumors of war with Iran, China watching with satellite photos of F‑22s, Trump’s State of the Union clip‑farming, war hero Medal of Honor moments, Nancy Pelosi insider‑trading, and why no one is investigating the Epstein files while accused pedophiles still give speeches. They close with talk of social‑media candidates like Braden Herrera vs. Tony Gonzalez’s “self‑immolation” scandal, why people distrust the whole system, and a reminder: if you want something Glock‑like, just get a Glock.​

In this episode of Culture Warfare, we break down two recent transgender mass shootings in Canada and Rhode Island and ask the hard question: should trans-identifying people be allowed to own guns. We walk through what actually happened in Tumblr Ridge, BC and the Rhode Island hockey rink attack, talk mental illness, SSRIs, media spin about “Nazi tattoos,” and why the press is desperate to hide the trans angle while blaming everyone but the killers.​

From there, we go deep on red flag laws, veterans’ suicide stats, schizophrenics and gun rights, and why giving the government “just an inch” on mental-health-based disarmament always turns into a mile of permanent federal power. We argue about where (or if) you draw a line on who should lose gun rights, whether 2A absolutism really works in the real world, and why the real solution is fixing a broken mental health and justice system instead of disarming everyone.​

We also hit Midwest weather misery, why Wisconsin makes everyone an alcoholic, a naked drunk guy stealing an ambulance with a patient inside, and a “weekly crash out” rant about cities literally covered in human poop and the San Francisco poop map. In the Weekly Special, we dissect a viral “Christian mom with OnlyFans” post, talk porn, blasphemy vs. heresy, Mary Magdalene, and why unrepentant sin dressed up as empowerment is destroying families and young men.​

On the gun side, we react to the Tisha SAW suppressor flash test, titanium vs. Inconel, K‑can tech, and night-vision performance under nods, plus some California copper thieves sawing down communication lines. We finish with Trump ordering UFO files released (and why that’s probably a distraction from Epstein), Prince Andrew’s arrest and instant release, and a spicy back-and-forth on how far Christians should go in dealing with the trans movement.​

If you’re into 2A politics, Christian commentary, anti-degeneracy rants, suppressor nerd stuff, and dark humor about our collapsing cities, this one’s for you. Like, subscribe, and play nice in the comments

On this episode of Culture Warfare, the boys talk possibly torture-testing an Amazon meme optic on a Q Fix, roast LPVOs and heavy glass, and talk about using a scope as a literal baseball bat. We dig into the Epstein files fallout, Pam Bondi’s embarrassing crash-out, OpticsPlanet’s wild Epstein meme, and why the “system would collapse” line tells on the whole establishment. We cover the recent US Navy warship collision during a refuel, drug-boat strikes under President Trump, Virginia and New Mexico’s new gun-control pushes, and why these bills are outright tyrannical.​

There’s Reed Knight’s drug-fueled rampage, legendary ring-cam “wind shrimps” footage, Beirut street-gunfights with a dude casually smoking through a shootout, and Russians blasting drones out of the sky with shotguns. We talk FRTs for the M249 SAW, why civilians should be stacking suppressors and triggers, the future of 3D printing, and why you might need a shotgun more than Gucci CQB drills if World War 3 kicks off.​

To close it out, the crew plays an absolutely unhinged shock-collar quote game featuring Bible vs. Message “Bible” vs. Reddit vs. Fox News, and argue about abolishing the NFA, felons and gun rights, and how much you really should hate the government.​

In this episode of the Culture Warfare Podcast, the guys walk through the newly released Epstein files, what they actually contain, and how the DOJ and FBI are talking about them. They cover Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, named co‑conspirators, the so‑called “no client list,” high‑profile names in the documents, and why they see the entire ruling class as compromised and protected.
​
They also read victim notes about Zorro Ranch and “superior gene pool” plans, discuss the Trump document referencing a 13‑year‑old and Lake Michigan, and go through the strange volume of “pizza” references that tie back into the older Pizzagate discourse. From there they wrestle with what ordinary people can do—tax resistance talk, protests, culture change, and Christian responsibility—before closing with a lighter “almost perfect dictator” thought experiment and some end‑of‑episode banter.

This episode contains discussion of sexual abuse, trafficking, and related crimes. Viewer discretion advised.

In this episode of the Culture Warfare Podcast, the hosts break down SHOT Show highlights, industry trends, and why the firearms market feels increasingly stagnant. They discuss new and unconventional designs, suppressor hype versus real-world performance, and why third-party data should always be treated cautiously.

The second half of the episode focuses on artificial intelligence, specifically AI art and emerging cases of AI-driven psychosis. The discussion covers arguments for and against AI as a creative tool, the difference between true creativity and pattern replication, and how over-reliance on AI can impact culture, work, and vulnerable people.

Throughout the episode, the conversation stays grounded in practical skepticism—questioning hype, emphasizing personal responsibility, and examining how technology intersects with gun culture, art, and human behavior.

In Episode 17 of the Culture Warfare Podcast, we break down the ICE shooting in Minnesota, the viral footage surrounding it, and the facts that most media outlets are ignoring.

We also cover the U.S. operation in Venezuela that resulted in Nicolás Maduro being captured, discuss regime change, oil interests, and why transparency disappears the moment geopolitics are involved. On top of that, we dive into Minnesota’s massive fraud problem, missing billions, and why federal agents were already operating in the state.

This episode contains explicit language and blunt political commentary. Nothing is sugar-coated, and nothing is framed for approval.

This episode is a collection of funny, unscripted moments from the show throughout 2025. These clips come from longer conversations and highlight side tangents, jokes, exaggerated hypotheticals, and stories that completely went off the rails.

Most of what’s here is casual back-and-forth between the hosts — arguing over pop culture, telling personal stories, and letting conversations spiral naturally. Nothing is scripted and nothing is meant to be taken too seriously.

This compilation is shared purely for entertainment. Full episodes and longer discussions are available elsewhere in the feed.
