In this episode, Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger cover the allegations that podcast host Shawn Ryan has financial ties to defense and surveillance technology companies, raising questions about his independence and the credibility of his privacy-focused Glacier app. Citing researcher Leah Files' investigation, the hosts question Glacier's data-collection practices, transparency, handling of government requests, and reported connections to contractors with intelligence-sector backgrounds. The conversation also examines Ryan's relationships with figures associated with Anduril, Palantir, and Peter Thiel, alongside concerns about autonomous weapons, military AI systems, and the ethical implications of technology used in targeting operations. Overall, the hosts argue that undisclosed financial relationships and limited transparency can undermine public trust in independent media, cybersecurity products, and defense technology companies. Plus segments on Tucker Carlson exposing Dan Bongino and Judge Napolitano reacting to Jared Kushner's multi-billion dollar corruption scandal. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Kash Patel!
