On this episode of Culture Warfare, the boys talk possibly torture-testing an Amazon meme optic on a Q Fix, roast LPVOs and heavy glass, and talk about using a scope as a literal baseball bat. We dig into the Epstein files fallout, Pam Bondi’s embarrassing crash-out, OpticsPlanet’s wild Epstein meme, and why the “system would collapse” line tells on the whole establishment. We cover the recent US Navy warship collision during a refuel, drug-boat strikes under President Trump, Virginia and New Mexico’s new gun-control pushes, and why these bills are outright tyrannical.​

There’s Reed Knight’s drug-fueled rampage, legendary ring-cam “wind shrimps” footage, Beirut street-gunfights with a dude casually smoking through a shootout, and Russians blasting drones out of the sky with shotguns. We talk FRTs for the M249 SAW, why civilians should be stacking suppressors and triggers, the future of 3D printing, and why you might need a shotgun more than Gucci CQB drills if World War 3 kicks off.​

To close it out, the crew plays an absolutely unhinged shock-collar quote game featuring Bible vs. Message “Bible” vs. Reddit vs. Fox News, and argue about abolishing the NFA, felons and gun rights, and how much you really should hate the government.​

If you’re into guns, optics, night vision, jiu-jitsu memes, government corruption, and dark humor, this one’s for you. Like, comment, subscribe, and play nice in the comments.

In this episode of the Culture Warfare Podcast, the guys walk through the newly released Epstein files, what they actually contain, and how the DOJ and FBI are talking about them. They cover Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, named co‑conspirators, the so‑called “no client list,” high‑profile names in the documents, and why they see the entire ruling class as compromised and protected.
​
They also read victim notes about Zorro Ranch and “superior gene pool” plans, discuss the Trump document referencing a 13‑year‑old and Lake Michigan, and go through the strange volume of “pizza” references that tie back into the older Pizzagate discourse. From there they wrestle with what ordinary people can do—tax resistance talk, protests, culture change, and Christian responsibility—before closing with a lighter “almost perfect dictator” thought experiment and some end‑of‑episode banter.

This episode contains discussion of sexual abuse, trafficking, and related crimes. Viewer discretion advised.

In this episode of the Culture Warfare Podcast, the hosts break down SHOT Show highlights, industry trends, and why the firearms market feels increasingly stagnant. They discuss new and unconventional designs, suppressor hype versus real-world performance, and why third-party data should always be treated cautiously.

The second half of the episode focuses on artificial intelligence, specifically AI art and emerging cases of AI-driven psychosis. The discussion covers arguments for and against AI as a creative tool, the difference between true creativity and pattern replication, and how over-reliance on AI can impact culture, work, and vulnerable people.

Throughout the episode, the conversation stays grounded in practical skepticism—questioning hype, emphasizing personal responsibility, and examining how technology intersects with gun culture, art, and human behavior.
