  • Horrible

    It’s a toss up between which podcast host has less charisma - Katie Miller or Leslie Dobson. (Removing the PhD because of obvious grift.)

  • Not sure how someone can …

    Be so misinformed about everything. Her political understanding is outrageously inaccurate and one sided. Trump has done so so many things he promised. 8 peace treaties?! I’d say that stopped wars. Don’t forget the democrats had Epstein files all that time. So why didn’t they open them???

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A deep dive into the Epstein files with Annie Elise, and the beginning of a lot more Epstein content
Q: What is some of the biggest bombshell findings that you have seen in the files that you have uncovered?
I read the journal entry of one of the victims. And it basically is a little bit of poetry. It's written in, she hasn't written in code. But she basically describes over a short period of time pregnant three times. And describes each time the baby was forced out of her.
A deep dive into the Epstein files with Annie Elise, and the beginning of a lot more Epstein content
Q: Can you explain from based on your work with cannibals, what it is that typically or usually motivates someone to go down that avenue?
You could probably break it up into three different cannibals. One is more that sadistic, they want to hurt and the reward is eating the body or the flesh. One is more that they're psychotic and they're ingesting like in a lot of our serial killers, they're ingesting the person because they feel like they can belong or be a part of that person.
A deep dive into the Epstein files with Annie Elise, and the beginning of a lot more Epstein content
Q: What are some of the biggest things in those files that you have been able to confirm and validate as being real and not conspiracy?
This is massive. But this is an international money laundering, probably drug, definitely sex, child organization.
Surviving The Mexican D*ug Cartel
Q: What would you tell others approached by the cartel?
She advises against getting involved, as it can lead to danger and a loss of personal life.
Surviving The Mexican D*ug Cartel
