## Resource

In this episode, the crew reacts to Thomas Massie’s primary defeat and what it means for the future of independent voices in Congress. They break down the role of AIPAC, Trump’s influence over the Republican Party, and why so many establishment figures seemed eager to celebrate Massie’s loss. The conversation expands into Israel, Cuba, foreign intervention, and the increasingly blurry line between criticism of governments and accusations of antisemitism. Things then spiral into police accountability, libertarian nationalism, and a bizarre Fox News clip that may or may not feature a man wearing a mask of his own face. The episode wraps with UFOs, demons, gain-of-function research, and updates on the Enemies of the State event and imprisoned activist Dexter Taylor. ----- Help out the show at PRLFans.com !!
