Tonight on The UnWoke Show, we dive into the viral explosion of "Amelia," the goth-aesthetic antagonist from the UK’s Pathways anti-extremism game. What was designed by government bureaucrats as a cautionary tale against "wrongthink" has instead become a digital rallying cry. We break down why Gen Z embraced the very character they were told to fear and what this "Streisand Effect" moment reveals about the widening gap between state-sponsored messaging and the reality of a frustrated generation.

Tonight, we follow the paper trail that Washington and local statehouses hope you’ll ignore. From the recent guilty plea of a Georgia Representative to a $5 million federal indictment in Florida involving a literal 3-carat "yellow diamond," we are witnessing a systemic exploitation of pandemic relief funds by the very people sworn to protect them.

We break down the recent legal collapses of officials like Karen Bennett and Sharon Henderson, the ongoing saga of Tiffany Henyard, and the high-stakes federal charges against Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. Finally, we analyze the "Defense Narrative" being built on Capitol Hill by Jasmine Crockett and Ayanna Pressley, who are framing these clear-cut financial crimes as a "War on Waste" distraction. It’s a night of accountability—no spin, just the receipts.

Iran isn’t just struggling anymore, it’s breaking.

In this episode, we unpack how Iran’s ongoing economic collapse has transformed into something far more dangerous for the Islamic Republic: a mass protest movement with national momentum. What started as outrage over skyrocketing prices, collapsing currency value, and shortages has spilled into the streets across the country, spreading beyond one city and becoming a broader uprising fueled by public exhaustion, rage, and disbelief that the system can ever be fixed.

Reports show protests escalating rapidly in late December 2025 into January 2026, spreading into dozens of cities and across all 31 provinces. Strikes and unrest reached symbolic economic and cultural centers, including Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, historically one of Iran’s most influential pressure points.

As the unrest expanded, Iran responded in the most predictable authoritarian way possible: crackdowns, mass arrests, live fire allegations, and internet shutdowns to cut off coordination and prevent images from leaving the country. But instead of killing the movement, this appears to have hardened it, turning economic rage into political rebellion.

We also examine how international tension is adding volatility to an already combustible situation, with threats, warnings, and escalating geopolitical pressure looming over Iran’s internal crisis.

At the center of it all is one brutal reality: a population that no longer believes waiting will change anything. The question now isn’t whether Iran is in crisis, it’s whether this movement becomes a turning point… or gets buried under force.

In 2025, the United States may have experienced something almost unthinkable: net-negative migration meaning more immigrants left the U.S. than arrived, for the first time in at least half a century.

On this episode of The UnWoke Show, Tim and Rich break down what this shift really means, why it may be happening, and why the political class and media seem terrified to talk about it plainly.

Is this about border enforcement and deportations? Visa slowdowns? Economic uncertainty? Culture and safety? Or is America’s brand collapsing in real time?

We connect the dots between immigration policy, workforce shortages, GDP growth, housing demand, and the reality that if America stops growing, everything gets more expensive and more unstable.

Tonight on The UnWoke Show Tim and Rich discuss one of the most volatile weeks in recent memory, the geopolitical landscape has been upended by two simultaneous crises. On one side of the globe, the Iranian government is facing its most significant domestic challenge in years as nationwide protests over economic collapse and inflation turn into a "political confrontation" against the regime. Meanwhile, in South America, a dramatic and unprecedented U.S. military operation—Operation Absolute Resolve—has resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, dragging them to a New York courtroom to face narco-terrorism charges.

The University of Minnesota just rolled out a guide claiming America is suffering from a “Whiteness Pandemic” — and they’re teaching parents and educators how to “halt” it. No, this isn’t satire. This is an official child-development program labeling an entire racial identity as a public-health threat.

In this episode, we break down the university’s framework, the psychology jargon they’ve twisted into ideology, and the larger agenda behind turning racial politics into “science.” We dig into the research they cite, the activist networks they promote, and why academia keeps trying to re-engineer society by pathologizing everyday people.

This isn’t about fighting racism anymore. It’s about moral conditioning disguised as scholarship. And the moment universities start diagnosing millions of Americans as a pandemic, the culture war hits a whole new level.

Tonight, we dissect the “Whiteness Pandemic,” expose the worldview driving it, and talk about what happens when institutions meant to educate children start indoctrinating adults instead.

The government shutdown might be over, but the political fallout is just getting started. In this episode of The UnWoke Show, Tim and Rich break down how eight House Democrats defied party leadership in a stunning post-shutdown vote—exposing deep fractures inside a party already struggling to hold its message together.

From budget brinkmanship to voter backlash, the guys dissect what this rebellion means for 2025 politics: is it a moment of principle or a preview of chaos heading into an election year? They’ll examine how Democrats are fighting not just Republicans, but each other, and what it says about a political class addicted to dysfunction.

Expect no spin, no safe spaces—just sharp analysis and a few laughs at the absurdity of it all.

Tonight on The UnWoke Show, we dig into the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the explosive wave of celebration that followed. As headlines ignite and social media piles on, Joe Rogan raises a warning: this moment might be the tipping point in America’s spiraling culture war. Are we drifting toward open conflict?

We break down the rising political violence, the campus free-speech crisis, the mainstreaming of extremism, and the unsettling way hate is becoming normal. This episode cuts through the noise with a raw, blunt look at what this moment really means for America’s future — and why ignoring it isn’t an option.
