In this episode, we take a hard look at the chaos of MAGA politics and the looming future of AI. From Trump’s headlines, Renee Good, and freedom of speech under scrutiny, to investigations into small businesses and healthcare promises, we uncover the stories that affect everyday Americans. Then we pivot to tech, exploring Elon Musk vs Sam Altman, AI in healthcare, and how automation is reshaping society, from classrooms to doctor’s offices. Along the way, we ask the big questions: who controls power, who benefits from AI, and how close are we to a society run by technology?

In this episode, we break down the killing of Renee Good by ICE in Minnesota, what’s really happening with the Metro Surge immigration operation, and why this moment has sparked national outrage. We then connect the dots to the growing AI accountability crisis, including Grok generating images involving minors, and examine JD Vance’s past in Silicon Valley and venture capital, raising questions about power, tech influence, and government accountability. From immigration enforcement to AI ethics and political tech ties, this episode explores how these stories intersect, and why they matter right now.

In this episode, we discuss the events on January 5, 2026, where Venezuela's Vice President Delcy Rodriguez was sworn in as acting president, replacing Nicolás Maduro amid a $50 million US bounty from the State Department. In this episode, we break down who Delcy Rodriguez is, why Chinese diplomat Lan Hu, Russian Sergey Melik-Bagdasarov, and Iranian Ali Chegini were present at her swearing-in ceremony, and what this leadership transition means for Venezuela's future. We examine the global divide between US/UK/France supporting intervention versus China/Russia/Mexico/Cuba opposing it, the oil interests driving these positions, Maria Corina Machado's controversial Nobel Peace Prize and Trump's criticism of her leadership, Trump's "peace through strength" foreign policy and newly renamed War Department, and what everyday Venezuelans actually think about this transition. Plus, we connect this to Trump's Greenland announcement and explore bonus content on Elon Musk's South African origins and controversial Silicon Valley rise.

In this episode, we examine the explosive reports out of Venezuela including claims of U.S. military strikes in Caracas and the detention of President Nicolás Maduro and place them inside a much larger story about oil, sanctions, and modern power. From the long history of U.S. intervention in Venezuela and the devastating impact of foreign sanctions on its oil industry, to the rise of Silicon Valley figures like Peter Thiel, whose companies and ideology focus on surveillance, defense technology, and “neutralizing enemies,” this episode connects two worlds that seem separate but aren’t. As oil states collapse under pressure and tech elites build systems designed to replace or override governments, we’re forced to ask an uncomfortable question: are we witnessing geopolitics or gang rule with flags?

In this episode, we revisit the Minnesota daycare fraud case as new footage and reactions continue to surface, before turning to Sam Altman and OpenAI, a company that began as a nonprofit, only to later reshape its mission, structure, and incentives. As questions grow around whistleblower Suchir Balaji, we ask how power consolidates, narratives shift, and accountability becomes harder to find.

In this episode, we break down how narratives are created, who benefits from them, and why figures like Ilhan Omar and JD Vance become symbols through two seemingly separate stories. JD Vance didn’t start with politics, and the Minnesota Somali debate didn’t start with fraud. We reveal how political narratives are constructed, protected, and weaponized.----------------- 0:00 Intro 1:23 What Happened at the Somali Daycare?10:32 Ilhan Omar & the Strategic Silence13:24 How JD Vance Rose to Power 40:44 Final Thoughts----------------- Delete This. exists to slow the story down and to question the version we’re handed while examining the one beneath.

In this episode, we break down why Sydney Sweeney suddenly became one of the most polarizing celebrities on the internet, and why the backlash feels bigger than just ads or interviews. From her viral lie detector interview with Amanda Seyfried to accusations that she’s “cheapening her image,” we unpack how Sydney Sweeney’s brand deals, commercials, and public persona became a lightning rod for online outrage. By the end of this episode, one question becomes unavoidable: did Sydney Sweeney actually do something wrong… or is she just the latest celebrity caught in the public’s ever-shifting standards?

In this episode, we take a closer look at JD Vance and uncover how much of his public image depends on what isn’t fully explained. From his name change to the way his military service is presented, this episode follows the trail of details that often get glossed over. As the story unfolds, we discover how JD Vance’s role in the military is frequently framed as something, while records show otherwise, a distinction that quietly reshapes the narrative.
