Brad Zerbo and Zak “RedPill78” Paine kick off this episode with a deep dive into the Diddy sex trafficking verdict, unpacking why the prosecution’s slapdash case looked suspiciously like a controlled burn to bury deeper crimes. They compare the bizarre spectacle to Epstein and NXIVM, debate how blackmail tapes disappear, and wonder aloud whether this was all designed to scare celebrities into compliance for 2024.

The conversation then pivots to cultural absurdities, from the implosion of Marvel’s Ironheart to the uncanny parallels between woke superhero scripts and government psyops. The hosts spotlight backyard inventor Julian Brown, who’s creating clean diesel from plastic trash, and explore why game-changing ideas like his rarely break through the media firewall.

In classic Altered State fashion, the show closes with a freewheeling tour of conspiracy culture, 911 disinfo, OJ theories, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the tangled roots of government overreach from Ruby Ridge to the Patriot Act. It’s an episode brimming with dark humor, rabbit holes, and reminders that the truth is never as simple as the headlines.
