Hundreds of people have been arrested in Los Angeles after days of protests, which are in response to aggressive immigration raids ordered by President Trump. When people took to social media to make sense of the events, they were confronted with fake, AI-generated videos of the protests and real photos that were labelled as out-of-context by AI. Thus breaking new ground in worthless, deceitful slop. Plus, we speak to Anna Merlan at Mother Jones about her recent reporting on the RFK Jr.-connected “MAHA Institute.” That organization’s head, Leland Lehrman, has pushed extremist ideas for decades, including endorsing the conspiracist fraudulent text "Protocols of the Elders of Zion.” RFK Jr. himself is evidently embracing a genuinely anti-vax agenda in his role as Health Secretary by firing and replacing the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP).

RFK Jr. is now running the Department of Health and Human Services. So we sat down with journalist and Conspirituality co-host Derek Beres to get an idea about how long it will take for Kennedy’s "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) agenda to revive the black plague. We chat about why Beres argues that Kennedy's wellness-sounding platform masks an exclusionary health vision which amounts to “soft eugenics,” RFK Jr’s endorsement of the MMR vaccine and how this angered his followers, harmful narratives about autism which will probably be endorsed by the federal government, and how the MAHA Commission's AI-generated report doesn’t seriously address health problems facing children.

A viral conspiracy theory has taken tik tok by storm with a bold claim that the “2020 effect” is finally fading. The colors are returning to planet Earth and summer is looking like it might have a “2015 vibe”. Jake and Travis are joined by OG QAA guest and fellow conspiracist researcher and author, Mike Rothschild, to try and uncover why the color disappeared in the first place, and the repercussions of it returning once again.

What happens when conspiracists make their dreams come true by taking over the deep state agencies and cracking them open? FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino's recent shift from conservative radio host to federally-employed “Epstein killed himself“ advocate creates chaos among those who hope for new revelations from newly influential insiders. Joined by Will Sommer of the False Flag newsletter, Jake, Liv, and Travis dissect Bongino's controversial flip-flop, the disillusionment of the MAGA faithful, and Glenn Beck's anguish over the situation. Meanwhile, James Comey's cryptic seashell Instagram post sparks a numerological panic and a Secret Service visit, mainstream conservative media cozies up to QAnon figures, and Elon Musk signals a pullback from political spending after a major loss in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

Devin O'Shea guides us into the world of acclaimed novelist Thomas Pynchon, whose cryptic, sprawling narratives echo the chaotic info deluge of contemporary digital culture. With Paul Thomas Anderson's newest Pynchon adaptation, One Battle After Another, hitting theaters in September 2025, and Pynchon himself releasing a fresh novel, Shadow Ticket, in October, it’s time to unpack what makes Pynchon uniquely relevant today. From the hippie noir mystery of Inherent Vice to the critically-panned Vineland, we explore why this reclusive author has captivated (and frequently frustrated) readers for decades. Along the way, we discuss the complex relationship his work has with history, conspiracy, technology, and power.

Matthew Johnson was a once respected clinical psychologist, best-selling parenting author, and national media guest. Then he saw something strange in the woods that shattered his worldview. Brad is back following a decades-long descent into the strangest corner of the American fringe: a secretive Bigfoot research site, telepathic communication with beings of light, a spiritual war against evil forces, an elder named Zorth, and eventually, prophecies involving Donald Trump. This is the bizarre saga of Team Squatchin USA - a story that starts with a poop break in the woods of Oregon, and ends with a licensed therapist who’s been accused of starting a Sasquatch cult.

People use generative artificial intelligence to troubleshoot technical problems, churn out anime-inspired images based on their personal photos, and drive university professors who teach undergrad courses to the darkest pits of despair. But are the applications of artificial intelligence limited to worldly matters? On today’s episode, we discuss how strings of words generated by mindless neural network predictions over tokenized inputs are burrowing into our very souls. First, we speak to Rolling Stone journalist Miles Klee, who recently published a fascinating investigation into people who have fallen into spiritual fantasies because of their conversations with ChatGPT. And then Annie covers how conservative author Rod Dreher sees the devil in AI chatbots. Have you heard the good news of our lord and savior: byte pair encoding tokenization?

There is no bigger franchise in the video game business than Grand Theft Auto by Rockstar Games. So naturally, fans of open-world criminal mayhem descend into wild dot-connecting in the years before each hotly-anticipated release. The next installment, GTA 6, has been delayed and is now slated for release on May 26th of 2026. This is despite many assurances from Rockstar that everything was on track for the game to come out in 2025. Alas, this will be another Christmas without an ultra-violent crime simulator wrapped beneath the pine tree. Sad! But at least Rockstar’s long silence gave us some great theories. Rockstar’s trademark hush-hush routine has turned GTA fandom into a sweaty detective bureau: Reddit sleuths pore over patent filings, numerologists map release dates to moon phases, and anonymous “insiders” drop breadcrumbs. In this episode we sift the signal from the speculation and ponder whether weaponized silence is part of the new marketing playbook.

Netflix’s Adolescence, a four-part thriller about a 13-year-old murder suspect, has hijacked Britain’s political conversation. Annie Kelly explains why the series hit such a nerve: it maps the online pipelines that radicalize boys in their own bedrooms, dramatizes the deadly consequences of misogyny, and spotlights the adults too clueless to confront these threats. Within weeks, MPs demanded it be shown in classrooms, tabloid headlines frightened parents over coded emojis, and right-wing investigators branded the show a taxpayer-funded anti-incel psyop involving Sophie from Peep Show. Come listen as Annie breaks down how virtuosic television managed to inspire breathtakingly cynical discourse about race, youth violence, and fictional portrayals of social issues.
