🎙️ EP#387 | GUEST | Reverand Munther Isaac: The Palestinian Pastor Shaking Up American Christianity
In this groundbreaking episode, Ray Doustdar welcomes Reverend Dr. Munther Isaac—pastor, theologian, and fearless voice from the Holy Land—for one of the most profound, eye-opening conversations in DSD history. Broadcasting from Ramallah, Munther breaks down how the theological beliefs of American Christians have a direct impact on the lives of Palestinian Christians, and why his mission is to build bridges, not burn them—even as war rages on.
Dr. Isaac shares his powerful insights into the theological misinterpretations of Genesis 12:3, exposes the political misuse of dispensationalism, and reflects deeply on the role of Christian Zionism in global injustice. His reflections on interfaith unity, the humanity behind the headlines, and the call for genuine Christian peacemaking are nothing short of transformative. Whether you're devout, doubtful, or somewhere in between, this conversation challenges you to reevaluate your understanding of faith, justice, and solidarity.
This isn’t just theology—it’s lived reality. From the checkpoints of the West Bank to Capitol Hill, from ancient scriptures to modern warfare, Reverend Isaac brings a stunning clarity to the tangled relationship between American Christian doctrine and Palestinian suffering. If you’ve ever wondered what "loving thy neighbor" really looks like when it costs everything—this is your episode.

🎙️ EP#386 | GUEST | Bet You Didn't See This: Ian Wendt on Truth, Propaganda & Patriotism
From viral hooks to viral truths, Ian Wendt sits down with Ray Doustdar for one of the most raw, unfiltered, and deeply personal conversations to date. Known as “the Patriot Guy” across social media, Ian breaks down the genesis of his famous “Bet You Didn’t See This” catchphrase, sharing how it became both a content strategy and cultural moment. But this episode is much more than clever hooks—it’s a firestorm of commentary on media manipulation, political betrayal, and the silent war being waged against truth-tellers.
Together, Ian and Ray dive deep into the suspicious circumstances surrounding Charlie Kirk’s death, dissecting the coordinated silence, strange optics, and eerie reactions from his inner circle. Ian doesn't hold back—pointing fingers, naming names, and asking the questions few dare to. Could Charlie's wife be the anonymous source fueling Candace Owens' investigative fire? Has the conservative influencer class been bought off by Israeli propaganda? And why has questioning official narratives become taboo—especially from those who built their careers doing exactly that?
This episode exposes what many are too afraid to say out loud. From Ian’s unapologetic stance on Gaza and American foreign policy, to the controlled influencer pipelines, this is a necessary listen for anyone still clinging to integrity in a post-truth world. Whether you’re a skeptic, a patriot, or a parent wondering what kind of world your kids will inherit—this episode will challenge you to think deeper, dig harder, and never stop asking questions.

🎙️ EP#385 | DSD | Ted Cruz, Tucker, Moon Landing, Rand Paul & Venezuela and Jeffrey Sachs
This episode of Deep Shallow Dive pulls no punches. We start light with Halloween hot takes and “thirst trap” culture before diving deep into the explosive reappearance of Nick Fuentes on Tucker Carlson’s podcast. Was their public beef with Candace Owens just strategic theater? Are they uniting for something bigger under a shared Catholic identity? It’s a layered analysis on media dynamics, ideology, and maybe even long-game political alignments.
From there, the episode pivots to skepticism around the moon landing, citing electromagnetic barriers, suspicious Freemason affiliations among astronauts, and missing NASA data. The host raises an eyebrow at conveniently lost technology and camera angles that defy logic. Whether you’re a moon landing truther or just moon-curious, this part is a head-turner.
The back half dives into current geopolitics. Rand Paul’s critique of extrajudicial killings in Venezuela, Ted Cruz’s over-the-top praise of Israel, and Professor Jeffrey Sachs torching Netanyahu on Tucker's show all point to one thing: power structures aren't what they seem. Secret societies, military-industrial incentives, and media manipulation come full circle as the host questions who really pulls the strings—and why.
🔥 Top 5 Key Points
Nick Fuentes resurfaces on Tucker Carlson—no mention of their past feud
Moon landing skepticism resurfaces with radiation belt challenges and Freemason theories

🎙️ EP#384 | GUEST | Question Everything: Jeb Baugh on Glenn Beck, Gen Z, and the Great Awakening
Freshman firebrand Jeb Baugh joins Ray for a bold, rapid-fire ride through generational politics, the military-industrial complex, and America’s foreign entanglements. At just 19, Jeb became a viral name after publicly confronting Glenn Beck at a Turning Point USA event—a moment that sparked major reactions on campus and online. In this episode, he breaks down how that moment came to be, what really drives his worldview, and why Gen Z might be more awake than anyone expects.
Ray and Jeb go deep into controversial territory, dissecting U.S.-Israel relations, the influence of AIPAC, and the spiritual manipulation within American evangelicalism. With surprising calm and clarity, Jeb explains how questioning the mainstream narrative has become core to his generation’s identity. They trace threads from JFK to 9/11, Operation Warp Speed to Charlie Kirk’s assassination theory, and ask: who's really pulling the strings?
This isn’t just an episode—it's a timestamp. From dissecting civil liberties in Europe to the future of mass immigration and digital speech, Jeb lays out a clear, unapologetic thesis: the youth aren't just online, they're watching, thinking, and getting ready to reclaim what they were never given. A mix of heat, history, and straight-up heresy, this one pulls no punches.

🎙️ EP#383 | DSD | The Master Plan, the Messiah & the Machine
AI chaos, royal cover-ups, Christian reboots, and political theater — all in a week's dive. In this episode, we go deep and wide: from the rapid evolution of AI tools like Gemini, Claude, and Comet, to Prince Andrew’s sweaty denials and the increasingly blurry line between religion, politics, and power. It’s part news, part breakdown, and part wake-up call — especially for those still caught in the outdated left vs. right matrix.
The episode shifts gears with a spotlight on Turning Point USA’s unraveling grip on its Gen Z base. Two back-to-back college events feature speakers like Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson being grilled by the very conservative youth they came to influence. It's not just rebellion — it's revelation. That “America First” crowd? They're not buying the standard playbook anymore.
And then there's Gaza. Hostile takeovers disguised as diplomacy. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner pitch a “master plan” two years in the making — conveniently synced with the start of the war. From foreign policy grifts to mega-church sex offenders getting wrist-slap sentences, we close with a hard-hitting clip from Dr. Umar that pulls no punches about Israeli power in American infrastructure and what really happened to Charlie Kirk. 🔥 Buckle up.

🎙️ EP#382 | DSD | Gavin Newsom, Cory Booker, Tucker, TikTok, Building 7 & Women on the Moon
What starts as a behind-the-scenes peek into how this podcast gets made quickly pivots into a firestorm of political commentary and media critique. In this episode, the DSD host gets transparent about production workflows, title and cover art creation, and even how ChatGPT helps shape each drop. But don’t get too comfortable—because things heat up fast as the conversation dives into the murky waters of political hypocrisy, media ownership, and digital censorship.
The spotlight then turns to APAC and the tangled relationship between American politicians and pro-Israel lobbying. From Gavin Newsom’s bizarre “interesting” interview to Cory Booker’s evasions, and Jeff Duncan’s moral gymnastics, this episode breaks down how media-savvy hosts are holding political feet to the fire. Shoutout to the "I've Had It" podcast for leading some of these hard-hitting conversations—this one is for listeners who crave accountability.
Rounding out the episode is a stark warning about the power of media manipulation. With TikTok’s future potentially being reshaped by Oracle’s acquisition and the Ellison dynasty expanding control over CBS and Paramount, what does this mean for narrative control, especially around Gaza and Israel? Add a dash of 9/11 conspiracy, a jab at Building 7, and a savage "First Woman on the Moon" sketch, and you’ve got one of the most blistering, multi-layered episodes yet. Buckle up.

🎙️ EP#381 | GUEST | The Kirk Assassination, Freemasonry, and Controlled Opposition w/ Brandon Conceicao
In this explosive and unfiltered episode, Ray sits down with Brandon Conceicao—one of the boldest emerging voices on Instagram—to dissect the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the shadowy alliances controlling today's political narratives. From the power dynamics of Turning Point USA to the occult-coded language of U.S. politicians, Brandon lays out a theory-packed, deeply spiritual, and historically-informed breakdown of what's really going on behind the scenes.
The duo explore why Kirk’s sudden reversal on Israel may have led to his targeted killing, and unpack the immediate political ripple effects—from Marjorie Taylor Greene’s awakening to record numbers of U.S. lawmakers visiting Jerusalem. But this episode doesn’t stop at geopolitics. It dives headfirst into the spiritual war, ancient symbols, Freemasonic rituals, and the psyops used to manufacture allegiance and obedience.
Whether it's the symbolism in Trump’s speeches, the rise and fall of Nick Fuentes, or Candace Owens’ 18-day Zoom engagement to a British noble, this conversation touches every nerve. Ray and Brandon also look at the digital war—how TikTok’s algorithm purge, Larry Ellison’s influence, and censorship are shaping the battle for consciousness. This is a masterclass in decoding truth in the age of mass manipulation.

🎙️ EP#380 | DSD | Candace, Charlie, & Conspiracies: What’s Really Going On?
What starts as a hilarious story about a bro getting humbled by a hot Pilates class quickly spirals into a powerful takedown of media narratives, political blind spots, and global deception. In this episode, we go from sweat-soaked workouts at Hotworx to deep dives into Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk’s death, JFK parallels, Israeli politics, and how influencers are allegedly being bought — all with the classic DSD edge.
Damian Young shares his thoughts on why Candace Owens might be the only one genuinely grieving Charlie Kirk, and why the eerie silence surrounding his death feels orchestrated. From questionable timelines to odd funeral logistics and a lack of public outrage, this episode demands critical thinking. The JFK comparison? Hard to ignore. Especially when it’s laid out with precision and skepticism. Damian breaks it down — and calls it like it is.
Plus: a wild 60 Minutes segment might be quietly planting seeds about Syria’s next role in global conflict, and a shocking expose reveals social media influencers allegedly being paid by the Israeli government to shape public sentiment. Yep, $7,000 a post. The episode wraps with a warning: don’t just consume — investigate. Because the more you look, the less things add up.

🎙️ EP379 | DSD | Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk & The Chaos in Gaza
In this explosive solo episode, host Ray peels back the layers of the media fog to deliver unfiltered takes on two massive stories: the situation in Gaza and the escalating Candace Owens vs. Charlie Kirk fallout. Ray doesn’t hold back as he questions the legitimacy of ceasefire talks, dives into the motives behind potential long-game real estate plays in Gaza, and critiques the media’s quick fade from the story. He challenges mainstream narratives and calls out the silence surrounding deeper geopolitical intentions.
Switching gears, Ray breaks down the bombshell screenshots dropped by Candace Owens—texts between Charlie Kirk, Rob McCoy, and others—that reveal the internal chaos and donor pressure at Turning Point USA just days before Charlie's assassination. With shocking admissions now confirmed by TPUSA’s own Andrew Colvitt, the episode raises urgent questions about power, truth, and money in conservative media circles. Ray applauds Candace for not backing down and staying relentless where others have gone silent.
This episode also connects today's cultural absurdities—like vaccine bribery with free fries and bizarre AI-generated content—with the broader social narrative of how easily truth is buried. From the echoes of JFK to the lunacy of COVID-era conformity, Ray takes a sharp, witty, and brutally honest look at what’s really happening beneath the surface. If you're ready to question the noise and think independently, this episode hits hard.

🎙️ EP#378 | DSD | UT Think Tank: Gen Z, Gaza, and the Politics of Dialogue
In this deeply charged episode of Deep Shallow Dive, host Ray Doustdar reunites with returning guest Elijah Kahlenberg and introduces his partner-in-peace, Jadd Hashem, for a raw, unfiltered conversation on Gen Z’s evolving political consciousness, their peace-building work with Atidna International, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. What starts as a catch-up between friends quickly turns into an enlightening debate on identity, activism, and systemic propaganda.
Jadd shares his experience growing up Palestinian-American in Texas, navigating Muslim and Arab identity post-9/11, and confronting anti-Palestinian bias among peers and media narratives. Elijah dives into his own transformation as a young Jewish American—raised on Zionist ideology—and how honest conversations and empathy with Palestinians reshaped his worldview. Together, the duo unpacks generational shifts in opinion, the role of American politics, and the spiritual and historical ties that unite Jewish and Palestinian people far more than divide them.
From the streets of Gaza and the halls of UT Austin to New York’s mayoral race and the dark truths behind settler violence, this episode doesn’t flinch. The trio also explore the role of the Democratic Party, the controversial idea that Hamas may be propped up as a political tool, and how groups like Atidna are fostering real peace and dialogue where governments fail. If you're looking for truth over talking points—this is it.

🎙️ EP#377 | DSD | Sanchez Stabbed, Kirk Silenced, Gaza Spun: Truth Bombs Incoming
After a brief recharge, Ray is back—and diving in headfirst. In this raw and rapid-fire solo episode, Ray unpacks a wild mix of recent headlines, controversies, and cultural shifts. From Mark Sanchez’s bizarre parking-lot stabbing incident to the deeper implications of weaponized religion, this episode brings the trademark DSD intensity with unfiltered insight and a sharp lens on media narratives.
Ray breaks down the growing divide over Christianity’s role in politics, sparked by voices like Reverend Munther Isaac and the post-Charlie Kirk fallout. He critiques the redefinition of religious loyalty as political allegiance, exposing how verses like Genesis 12:3 are used to justify blind support for modern geopolitical agendas. This conversation leads straight into the ideological battles within the MAGA movement and how certain factions are exploiting theology to manipulate public opinion.
He doesn’t stop there. Ray calls out the mainstream media and political elites—from Van Jones' Gaza remarks to possible AI-generated Trump Oval Office clips. He questions why key figures have gone silent or moved on post-Charlie Kirk, including Kirk's own inner circle. The final segment hits hard with Rob O’Neill’s piercing analysis of the assassination footage and the suspiciously quick cleanup of the crime scene—reigniting doubts and sharpening suspicions. Strap in for 30 minutes of truth bombs and razor-sharp reflection.

🎙️ EP#375 | DSD | What's the Play? Charlie, Chaos & Christian Chess
The death of Charlie Kirk has shaken the political and cultural landscape—and this episode pulls no punches. We dive headfirst into the confusion, conspiracy, and contradictions surrounding the official story. From the mysterious bullet wound to the alleged involvement of the Netanyahu administration, no angle is off-limits.
Ray D breaks down Brett Weinstein's sharp critique of the Trump administration and uses it as a springboard to examine whether voters were duped, divided, or dangerously uninformed. He also scrutinizes the intense religious undertones of Charlie Kirk's "memorial," asking if it was truly a celebration of life or a MAGA-pilled marketing campaign.
With fiery commentary, behind-the-scenes intel, and viral TikTok clips, this episode connects the dots between Tucker Carlson's hummus-laced allegory, Christian nationalism vs. Christian Zionism, and the bizarrely pristine casket photo posted by Erica Kirk. If you think you've heard it all—think again.

🎙️ EP#373 | DSD | The Charlie Kirk Assassination: Narrative Breakdown, Media Silence & Shifting Allegiances
The assassination of Charlie Kirk has sent shockwaves across political, religious, and media landscapes. In this episode, we unpack the chaotic and controversial narrative surrounding his death — dissecting the alleged timeline, the official story, and the glaring inconsistencies that have ignited widespread skepticism. Ray D dives deep into the convoluted details, from the mysterious rifle assembly to the presence of a potential patsy, questioning what really happened on that rooftop and why the crime scene was dismantled in record time.
We also explore the media reaction — or lack thereof — and the peculiar order in which world leaders and publications responded. Why did Israel’s Prime Minister and the Jerusalem Post know about Kirk’s death before most U.S. outlets? Was Kirk, once a staunch supporter of Israel, beginning to shift ideologically? With clips from Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and even Charlie himself, the episode presents compelling evidence of a man evolving — and possibly threatening powerful interests in the process.
But Ray doesn’t stop there. He scrutinizes Kirk's legacy with brutal honesty, acknowledging his immense talent and influence while holding him accountable for his more divisive rhetoric — particularly about Islam and Muslims. Through it all, Ray reminds us of a vital truth: no one should die for their opinions, no matter how controversial. This is a comprehensive, no-BS breakdown of a story that’s far from over.
🔥 Top 5 Key Points:
The official story surrounding Kirk’s assassination is full of logical holes.
A mysterious “patsy” appears to have played a distraction role — and has a bizarre background.
Tucker Carlson claims Charlie lost donors for associating with him and others critical of Israel.
Israel was the first to report Kirk’s death — and Netanyahu responded almost instantly.
Kirk may have been shifting ideologically, aligning more with Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson.

🎙️ EP#372 | GUEST | Bart Sibrel: Exposing the Moon Landing Hoax & the Power of Government Deception
In this explosive Deep Shallow Dive episode, Ray Doustdar sits down with Bart Sibrel, the man who’s been called the world’s leading moon landing hoax expert. From startling photographic evidence to confessions of murder to cover up the truth, Bart takes us deep into one of the most controversial topics of our time: Did we really go to the moon? And if not — why the hell not?
Bart doesn’t hold back as he lays out a compelling case, using logic, photography, witness testimony, and AI analysis to suggest that the Apollo missions were elaborate fabrications. Beyond the moon landing, this episode unpacks the deeper implications: a pattern of lies stretching from JFK to 9/11, all pointing to systemic deception within the U.S. government. Bart shares previously untold stories, including personal threats, CIA interference, and how whistleblowers like Cyrus Akers lost their lives to keep the truth buried.
Whether you're a hardened skeptic or simply moon-curious, this episode demands attention. It challenges the legacy of NASA, media complicity, and the blind faith many still place in official narratives. Bart's fearless research, paired with Ray’s direct, no-BS style, makes this an unforgettable deep dive into one of the most taboo conspiracies in modern history.

Step behind the scenes of the food industry with this jaw-dropping episode featuring Dr. Bryan Quoc Le, food scientist and founder of Mendocino Food Consulting. From decoding preservatives to unveiling the truth about gut health, Bryan joins Ray to deliver a Deep Shallow Dive into what we’re really eating—and how it's made. This is not just another conversation about calories and sugar; it's a brutal reality check on the systems feeding us daily.
Bryan shares powerful insights on how modern food science is shaped more by profit margins than public health. From preservatives that disrupt your gut microbiome to misleading food labels and the shocking truth about sugar alcohols, this episode connects the dots between what we eat and the chronic inflammation epidemic. You’ll never look at “fat-free” or “sugar-free” the same way again.
But it doesn't stop there. Bryan opens up about his personal health journey—including his 2,000-mile walk from California to Louisiana in memory of his father. Along the way, he discovered how the body responds to food in real time and how disconnected we’ve become from listening to our own bodies. Prepare for an unforgettable exploration of food, science, and the deep human story underneath it all.

🎙️ EP#370 | DSD | The Assassination of Charlie Kirk: Symbol, Scapegoat, or Sacrifice?:
The nation reels as the controversial death of Charlie Kirk rocks political and cultural discourse. In this searing episode, we dive headfirst into the swirling narratives surrounding Kirk’s assassination — from ideological blame games to deeper geopolitical manipulations. The episode unpacks the reactions from both ends of the spectrum and the dangerous consequences of hyperpolarized thinking.
Our host doesn’t shy away from nuance — condemning the violence while also calling out Kirk’s divisive rhetoric and its ripple effects across America’s religious and racial lines. From the transformation of Charlie’s stance on Gaza to his public fallout with Gen Z conservatives, this is an unfiltered look at how political figures are made and unmade in real time. The conversation connects the dots between 9/11, media manipulation, and what it means when leaders become symbols of division.
This isn’t just an episode about Charlie Kirk — it’s about the machine that manufactures polarization, the way religion and politics are weaponized, and how public narratives are steered. Whether you agree or disagree with Charlie’s legacy, one thing is clear: America is in the midst of a deeper, more dangerous shift — and we may already be in its final phase.

🎙️ EP#369 | GUEST | When the Unthinkable Happens: Andi Wagner’s Firestorm Survival
When your entire world turns to ash in hours, how do you rebuild—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually? In this deeply moving episode, Ray welcomes Andi Wagner, whose home and neighborhood in Pacific Palisades were obliterated by a devastating fire earlier this year. What begins as a story of destruction quickly becomes a conversation about trauma, resilience, and radical rebirth.
Andi shares the harrowing timeline of the day her life changed forever—from the first whiff of smoke at the gym to watching her community collapse into chaos. With raw detail, she recounts how she rescued her dog, escaped gridlocked streets, and received the heartbreaking news that her home was gone. But this isn't just a story about loss—it's also about love, humanity, and the choices we make in the aftermath of disaster.
From battling grief to rediscovering purpose through the transformative Hoffman Process, Andi’s journey is a powerful reminder of what matters most. She opens up about the emotional toll, systemic failures, and the surprising gifts of compassion, both given and received. If you've ever wondered how someone puts their life back together—this is it.

🎙️ EP368 | DSD | The Presidential Lie Machine, COVID’s Lab Leak Truth & Zuck’s Hot Mic Moment
In this raw and revealing solo episode, we go full throttle on some of the biggest controversies and cover-ups shaping modern discourse—from the lies of U.S. presidents to the shocking truths emerging about the COVID-19 origin story. Using nothing but his phone, our host unloads a rapid-fire breakdown of the stories the mainstream misses (or buries), tackling everything from bioethics to media manipulation with DSD’s trademark depth and bite.
🔥 Trump, Biden, Obama, Clinton—no one escapes the spotlight as we analyze presidential lies across the decades. But the real shocker? Trump’s ongoing championing of Operation Warp Speed—even as new data and voices (like Eric Weinstein on Piers Morgan) reveal the troubling science behind the mRNA vaccines and their immune system impact. The deeper question: Why hasn’t Trump taken accountability?
Meanwhile, global tensions are rising: the Samoud Flotilla of 40+ ships—including U.S. veterans—is sailing to Gaza to challenge Israel’s blockade, yet it’s barely covered in the media. And then there’s that awkward tech CEO dinner with Trump—Zuckerberg, Altman, Tim Cook, Gates—all kissing the ring. The hot mic moment? You’ll want to hear it to believe it.
Whether you're deep in the conspiracy trenches or just starting to question the narrative, this episode is packed with facts, fire, and uncomfortable truths that you won’t find anywhere else.
