Tom and co-host Drew dive deep into a jam-packed week of controversy, conspiracy, and current events. They kick things off with the latest whirlwind around the long-awaited Epstein list, exploring why both the FBI and political powers might be protecting it, and what this means for public trust. The conversation expands to America’s fiscal cliff, with Tom making a bold prediction about the nation’s trajectory toward bankruptcy and breaking down the complex mechanics of money printing, modern monetary theory, and why the middle class continues to shrink.

Drew and Tom debate the viability and timing of a third political party—especially one helmed by a figure like Elon Musk—and examine the populist moment currently sweeping America and the globe. They don’t shy away from tough topics like U.S. immigration policy, touching on recent ICE raids and anti-American protests in Mexico City, as well as the ripple effects of unchecked migration.
