Iran Panel: War, Oil, & China—What Happens Next?
The boys are joined by Simone Ledeen, who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Middle East at the U.S. Department of Defense, and Drew Berquist, who spent more than 20 years in national security, including work with the Central Intelligence Agency and Defense Intelligence Agency supporting intelligence and counterterrorism operations. Together they break down the rapidly evolving situation involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, analyzing military developments, intelligence signals, and the potential for regime instability inside Tehran.

Chinese ESPIONAGE at the US BORDER | EXPOSING CCP Border Smuggler Networks
Army veteran and former law enforcement officer Cory Gautereaux, founder of the GOAT Initiative, joins the show to reveal what he’s uncovered while investigating activity along the US–Mexico border. Through grassroots intelligence gathering, recovered cell phones, and on-the-ground investigations, Cory has identified networks tied to human trafficking, counterfeit documents, and even communications linked to Chinese nationals coordinating border crossings. We discuss how volunteer-led efforts and technology are exposing gaps in federal enforcement that most Americans never see.

Kratos Built the Marine Corps' Unbeatable Unmanned Aircraft
Steve Fendley, President of Kratos Unmanned Systems Division at Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, joins the show to discuss where unmanned and autonomous systems are taking U.S. military power. He breaks down the logic of attritable platforms, scaling production, and why the next decade of deterrence is going to be won by systems you can field in volume. We get into what “next-gen warfare” looks like when autonomy and electronic warfare compete inside contested environments and why the US Navy may be fielding unmanned craft, no known weapon can defeat.

The Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi: Vatican Cover-Up
In 1983, Emanuela Orlandi, a 15-year-old Vatican citizen, vanished after an ordinary day in Rome, and the case has refused to stay buried ever since. What began as a missing-person investigation quickly brushed up against forces far larger than a single crime. In this episode, we trace the known timeline, the strange communications that followed, and how official explanations kept shifting just out of reach. Along the way, the story drifts into Rome’s criminal underworld, where favors, silence, and leverage often matter more than truth. It also intersects with an old prophecy that carried real political weight during the Cold War, raising uncomfortable questions about motive and timing. As parallel cases and overlooked connections resurface, the picture grows darker rather than clearer. This isn’t a story about rumors, it’s about why some mysteries are never solved.

INITIAL CONTACT: WHO WE ARE. WHAT YOU'LL GET. WHY IT MATTERS.
In the first episode of No Party Affiliation, the hosts introduce their professional backgrounds and use that lens to unpack how U.S. foreign policy decisions are made, sold, and executed. They examine regime change as a practice, with Iraq, Venezuela, and Iran as case studies, and they question the gap between stated objectives and real incentives. The conversation covers how culture, propaganda, and bureaucratic planning shape military operations and public narratives. They also assess what China’s demographic decline could mean for its long-term military capacity and how communist government concentrates power and distorts decision-making. The through line is simple: international politics is messy, and understanding it requires more than slogans and official talking points.

The 1870s Thesis: Why America's Next Boom is Nuclear
Michael Thompson, co-founder and managing partner of Reinvent Capital, a director at Joby Aviation, and a board member at Oklo, joins the show to talk about what it will actually take to reindustrialize America. We dig into why Oklo's small modular reactors (SMRs) are the missing piece for abundant, reliable power and how overregulation has slowed nuclear’s ability to scale when the country needs it most. Then we pivot to the mobility side of the rebuild: why Joby’s approach is different, including its hydrogen-electric work aimed at unlocking true regional-range flight powered by hydrogen fuel cells. If you care about energy dominance, manufacturing capacity, and the next era of American infrastructure, this one’s a blueprint.

Shroud of Turin: Evidence, History, and the Unseen
Pastor Eric Hambrock returns to take a hard look at the Shroud of Turin—what it is, what the evidence actually suggests, and why it’s remained one of history’s most contested relics. We trace the shroud’s known history, weigh the strongest arguments for and against its authenticity, and examine the scientific questions that won’t go away. Then we move beyond the lab: what the shroud means spiritually, why it grips believers and skeptics alike, and what it may truly mean. If you’re drawn to mysteries with real stakes, this one will stay with you.

Catching Online Predators: Sting Operations and Saving Kids
US Marine Corps veteran, Donny Burgers, founder of New York Predator Hunters, uses decoy-based online sting tactics to expose suspected child predators, document their behavior, and hand evidence and leads to law enforcement. In this episode, we break down the patterns these offenders rely on and the practical, no-nonsense lessons parents can use right now to harden their kids’ online safety, spot grooming signals early, and tighten digital boundaries at home. It’s also a blunt reminder that evil isn’t abstract or historical; it’s real, it’s opportunistic, and it lives a lot closer than most people want to believe.

The Right's Drift into Neo-Marxism & America's Populist Crossroads
Batya Ungar-Sargon returns to discuss one of the strangest developments in American politics: the Right’s quiet drift into neo-Marxist class rhetoric. We unpack why conservatives are suddenly talking like progressives, why young voters are gravitating toward populism, and how affordability—not culture war—has become the new political battlefield. Batya explains why the American working class is fundamentally capitalist, why the socialist constituency is a vanguard masquerading as a proletariat, why the real threat to the middle class isn’t ideology at all, and the future of the America First movement.

Dark Hollywood, Ghosts on 'Cops', and Government Cover-Ups
The boys and Tom Cunningham pull back the curtain on the shadows behind America’s media and political machine. From haunted houses and ghostly encounters to the dark fingerprints of government manipulation, they trace the eerie patterns connecting JFK’s assassination, Hale Boggs’ disappearance, and the strange energy radiating out of Hollywood. Along the way, they confront the blurred line between reality and programming, where AI, social media, and predictive narratives bend truth into theater. What if evil isn’t random, but orchestrated?

The Pattern Beneath the World: Nature, The Mark of the Beast, & the Sacred Order
Matthieu Pageau, author of The Language of Creation: Cosmic Symbolism in Genesis and The Language of Creation: An Introduction to the Science of Meaning, joins the show! We explore the living patterns that unite nature, humanity, and the divine. The conversation expands into the spiritual dimension of technology, from AI and digital control systems to the symbolism of 666 and the Tower of Babel. We unpack the "problem–reaction–solution mechanism" of modern governance, the re-emergence of false spirituality in a technocratic age, and the ancient wisdom that still points toward balance, discernment, and truth.

UN Whistleblower: Workers Forcing Kids Into Sex Work For Food
Former UN official and whistleblower, Professor Andrew MacLeod, exposes one of the most disturbing scandals ever in international aid. MacLeod reveals how United Nations peacekeepers and aid workers exploited vulnerable children, forcing them into sex work in exchange for food and supplies. We discuss how these crimes were covered up, why the culture of impunity persists inside global institutions, and what must be done to hold the world’s most powerful organizations accountable. This conversation is not for the faint of heart, but it is one that must be heard. Viewer discretion is advised.
