, hosts Greg Bolden and Chris Michaels dive into a mix of current events, social media controversies, and conspiracy theories, delivering their signature blend of humor, skepticism, and unfiltered commentary. Here’s a breakdown of the key topics discussed:

- Scolding Ed Krasenstein: Greg kicks off the show by targeting left-leaning X personality Ed Krasenstein, criticizing him for spreading a misleading story about a Georgia woman arrested after a miscarriage. Greg clarifies that the woman, Selina Marie Chandler Scott, was charged with abandoning a dead body after disposing of a 19-week fetus in a dumpster, not for the miscarriage itself. He calls out Krasenstein’s inflammatory rhetoric, accusing him of equating the incident to flushing fetuses and questioning women’s autonomy, labeling it as “socially bankrupt” and grift-driven.
- Trump and Greenland: The hosts discuss Greenland’s new premier, Jon Frederick Nielsen, rejecting President Trump’s claim that the U.S. could “take over” Greenland. Trump’s comments, echoed by J.D. Vance’s criticism of Denmark’s governance, spark debate about strategic motives, including Arctic trade routes and national security. Greg speculates on a deeper agenda tied to a thawing Arctic and historical “Club of Rome” plans, while questioning Trump’s military rhetoric as a negotiation tactic.
- Social Security and Non-Citizen Voting: Referencing a DOGE audit led by Elon Musk, the hosts reveal a jump in non-citizen Social Security numbers from 270,000 in 2021 to 2.1 million in 2024, with 1.3 million enrolled in Medicaid under lax verification. While the policy began under Trump, they argue Biden’s administration exacerbated the issue, fueling voter fraud concerns. They note Musk’s temporary DOGE role ends by July 4, 2026, amid rising pressure and vandalism against him.
- Mental Health and Societal Norms: Prompted by listener Chip, the hosts lament the normalization of mental illness, citing examples like people treating lifelike dolls as children. They advocate for reinstating asylums to address severe cases, arguing that excusing erratic behavior enables unrest. They critique Democrats for allegedly leveraging mental health issues and entitlements to secure votes.
- Economic Strategy and Tariffs: Greg outlines a theory that Trump’s tariff plans aim to trigger a recession, forcing the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. This would allow refinancing $7 trillion in U.S. debt at cheaper rates. They also note gold’s rise to $3,128 per ounce, contrasting with Bitcoin’s drop from $109,358 to $82,000, hinting at market manipulation.
- Anti-Semitism Legislation Concerns: The hosts play a clip from Rabbi Shemtov advocating for the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act and adopting the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism. They argue it risks overreach, potentially curbing free speech by prioritizing Jewish discrimination over others. They question the need for such laws, citing existing constitutional protections and expressing confusion over Jewish opposition to Trump despite his pro-Israel stance.
- Hitler in Argentina Conspiracy: Greg highlights upcoming declassified WWII documents suggesting Adolf Hitler fled to Argentina via submarine, supported by 1945 FBI reports and Argentina’s Nazi-linked history. While not new, the hosts tie this to rat lines, Credit Suisse’s Nazi accounts, and Argentina’s space program, speculating on Israel’s influence and a possible Argentina split.
