5 APR 2026 · In 2016, former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele produced a series of intelligence memos that were leaked and widely called “The Steel Dossier” containing allegations about Russia's interference in the US election and links between Trumpworld and the Kremlin. In a highly unique conversation, Steele and John & Jerry look into the many hot-button conspiracy theories and real conspiracies that Steele has intelligence on — going all the way back to the death of Princess Diana and through Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement with Russian espionage. And how Trump’s behavior has made America so untrustworthy that it can no longer function effectively at worldwide intelligence gathering.

29 MAR 2026 · We continue to look at Havana Syndrome and Russian intelligence operations. Investigative journalist Michael Weiss expands on evidence suggesting that a covert unit within Russian military intelligence may have targeted Western operatives, particularly those involved in countering Russian activities in Ukraine and other strategic regions. We discuss geopolitical miscalculations, including U.S. responses to Russian aggression, the war in Ukraine, and election interference. The greatest victories for adversaries like Russia often come not from their own capabilities, but from America’s tendency to overreact, politicize, and fracture from within.

22 MAR 2026 · Havana Syndrome wasn’t a mystery. It was a coverup. And it wasn’t just Havana. Investigative journalist Michael Weiss (The Insider) returns to the show to break down his explosive reporting on the unexplained brain injuries suffered by U.S. diplomats, CIA officers, and military personnel around the world. Weiss lays out compelling evidence linking these incidents to a covert Russian intelligence unit and a new kind of directed-energy weapon. But the real story may be inside CIA itself. Was this a failure of intelligence, a clash of institutional power, or something deliberate? Watch Mission Implausible on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MissionImplausiblePod

8 MAR 2026 · Former senior intelligence officer and author of The Fourth Intelligence Revolution explores how artificial intelligence, big data, and information warfare are fundamentally reshaping global intelligence. He forsees the coming “Singularity War” — a future of fully autonomous intelligence and warfare systems. Now AI enables small groups or even individuals to carry out attacks once reserved for nation-states, including psychological manipulation. How do we defend against this?

That criminal was Trump’s “Ambassador to Hollywood” Mel Gibson. Oyer explains how presidential pardons and clemency is supposed to work. With Trump’s Dept. of Justice, it’s been supercharged.

8 FEB 2026 · Our current Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was born into The Science of Identity Foundation, a secretive, authoritarian religious group led by guru Chris Butler. What are the beliefs of The SIF and how did they influence Gabbard's political career? Some believe that she's still under their direction, if not outright control. If so, the international criminal investigations of the organization, along with the local Hawaiian suspicions of it, raises serious national security questions for someone in that role. Then why does it appear that even a standard FBI background check of Gabbard was skipped? The reporting on Gabbard's origins had been sparse... until now.
