🎙️ EP#384 | GUEST | Question Everything: Jeb Baugh on Glenn Beck, Gen Z, and the Great AwakeningFreshman firebrand Jeb Baugh joins Ray for a bold, rapid-fire ride through generational politics, the military-industrial complex, and America’s foreign entanglements. At just 19, Jeb became a viral name after publicly confronting Glenn Beck at a Turning Point USA event—a moment that sparked major reactions on campus and online. In this episode, he breaks down how that moment came to be, what really drives his worldview, and why Gen Z might be more awake than anyone expects.Ray and Jeb go deep into controversial territory, dissecting U.S.-Israel relations, the influence of AIPAC, and the spiritual manipulation within American evangelicalism. With surprising calm and clarity, Jeb explains how questioning the mainstream narrative has become core to his generation’s identity. They trace threads from JFK to 9/11, Operation Warp Speed to Charlie Kirk’s assassination theory, and ask: who's really pulling the strings?This isn’t just an episode—it's a timestamp. From dissecting civil liberties in Europe to the future of mass immigration and digital speech, Jeb lays out a clear, unapologetic thesis: the youth aren't just online, they're watching, thinking, and getting ready to reclaim what they were never given. A mix of heat, history, and straight-up heresy, this one pulls no punches.🔥 Top 5 Key Points:Jeb’s viral moment at TPUSA & questioning Glenn BeckThe U.S.-Israel relationship through the lens of Gen ZHow mass immigration intersects with economic collapseThe Greater Israel Project & military-industrial profit cyclesPredictions for censorship, free speech, and digital crackdowns🔑 Keywords & Themes:Israel, Gaza, Gen Z politics, Turning Point USA, Glenn Beck, AIPAC, military-industrial complex, evangelical Zionism, JFK, 9/11, Charlie Kirk, Greater Israel Project, Iran, NATO expansion, immigration, civil liberties, TikTok, censorship, mass media, political awakening, Ray Doustdar, Jeb Baugh, conspiracy culture, American exceptionalism, free speech, foreign policy⏳ Chapters & Timestamps:00:59 - Meet Jeb Baugh: Freshman, firebrand, viral moment02:40 - What Jeb asked Glenn Beck and why05:13 - Growing up between liberal and conservative homes07:02 - The moment TPUSA got played09:33 - 9/11, JFK, and generational distrust12:06 - Gen Z's political split and religious identity14:33 - Breaking down the evangelical Zionism machine18:00 - Netanyahu, intelligence ops, and political theater23:00 - Greater Israel and U.S. military involvement25:22 - War, health, and America's toxic priorities27:59 - Why Trump's no longer "the guy"30:05 - Mass immigration and economic decline33:11 - NATO, Russia, and global manipulation36:50 - Wesley Clark, the seven-nation memo38:11 - Freedom of speech under threat41:09 - False flags and censorship setups43:26 - AIPAC and bipartisan silence46:11 - Can Gen Z save the republic?48:22 - Who Jeb trusts in politics and media50:18 - The rise of digital censorship: theory or warning?📢 Follow & Engage with DSD:📌 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deepshallowdive📌 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepshallowdive/📌 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@deepshallowdive📌 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@deepshallowdive📌 Twitter: https://twitter.com/deepshallowdive📌 Threads: https://threads.net/@deepshallowdive🎯 Top 7 Key Points:🔥 Questioning Glenn Beck Went Viral🧠 Gen Z is Waking Up Fast🕊️ Greater Israel Project Exposed💰 Military-Industrial Complex Profits from Chaos📉 Mass Immigration Shrinks the Middle Class🔒 Free Speech Crackdown is Coming💥 False Flags Set the Stage for Censorship

🎙️ EP#383 | DSD | The Master Plan, the Messiah & the MachineAI chaos, royal cover-ups, Christian reboots, and political theater — all in a week's dive. In this episode, we go deep and wide: from the rapid evolution of AI tools like Gemini, Claude, and Comet, to Prince Andrew’s sweaty denials and the increasingly blurry line between religion, politics, and power. It’s part news, part breakdown, and part wake-up call — especially for those still caught in the outdated left vs. right matrix.The episode shifts gears with a spotlight on Turning Point USA’s unraveling grip on its Gen Z base. Two back-to-back college events feature speakers like Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson being grilled by the very conservative youth they came to influence. It's not just rebellion — it's revelation. That “America First” crowd? They're not buying the standard playbook anymore.And then there's Gaza. Hostile takeovers disguised as diplomacy. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner pitch a “master plan” two years in the making — conveniently synced with the start of the war. From foreign policy grifts to mega-church sex offenders getting wrist-slap sentences, we close with a hard-hitting clip from Dr. Umar that pulls no punches about Israeli power in American infrastructure and what really happened to Charlie Kirk. 🔥 Buckle up.🔥 Top 7 Key Points🧠 AI Tools Are Splintering Fast🎭 Prince Andrew’s Sweatgate🧨 Gen Z Conservatives Turn on TPUSA💣 Jared’s Gaza “Master Plan” Timeline🚨 Religious Hypocrisy & New Chosen People Theory📺 60 Minutes = Elite Narrative Placement⚡ Dr. Umar on Charlie Kirk, JFK & Israeli Influence🔑 Keywords & ThemesAI (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity), OpenAI Atlas, Comet browser, Prince Andrew interview, BBC Epstein photo, Royal scandal, Gen Z political shift, Turning Point USA, Glenn Beck, Tucker Carlson, Charlie Kirk assassination, Israel-Palestine conflict, Gaza master plan, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, foreign policy grift, AIPAC, USS Liberty, Christian Zionism, New Covenant, GOP youth revolt, Dr. Umar Johnson, JFK, PBD podcast, Robert Morris Gateway Church scandal, Zipix Nicotine, deep state, US-Israel relationship, conservative media crisis⏳ Chapters & Timestamps00:00 – 🎧 AI Breakdown: From ChatGPT to Comet03:30 – 💻 Why You Need to Try AI Now05:02 – 👑 Prince Andrew's Wild Interview09:21 – 📺 Netflix Pick: The Diplomat10:00 – 🪧 No Kings Protests & Manufactured Division13:20 – 🔥 Gen Z Flips the Script on TPUSA17:45 – 🎤 Tucker Carlson Enters the Chat21:40 – 🤐 Dr. Marshall on Chosen People & Israel27:58 – 📖 New vs. Old Testament: Who’s “Chosen” Now?28:28 – 🧠 Predictive PR via 60 Minutes30:00 – 🏗️ Jared & Steve's 2-Year Gaza “Master Plan”33:21 – 🤯 Kushner Admits Gaza Looks Nuked34:56 – 💸 Conflicts of Interest Laid Bare37:11 – 😡 Megachurch Pastor Indicted, Sentenced Light39:36 – 🧱 Dr. Umar: JFK, Israel & the Charlie Kirk Fallout📢 Follow & Engage With Us Online!📌 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deepshallowdive📌 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepshallowdive/📌 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@deepshallowdive📌 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@deepshallowdive📌 Twitter: https://twitter.com/deepshallowdive📌 Threads: https://threads.net/@deepshallowdive

🎙️ EP#382 | DSD | Gavin Newsom, Cory Booker, Tucker, TikTok, Building 7 & Women on the MoonWhat starts as a behind-the-scenes peek into how this podcast gets made quickly pivots into a firestorm of political commentary and media critique. In this episode, the DSD host gets transparent about production workflows, title and cover art creation, and even how ChatGPT helps shape each drop. But don’t get too comfortable—because things heat up fast as the conversation dives into the murky waters of political hypocrisy, media ownership, and digital censorship.The spotlight then turns to APAC and the tangled relationship between American politicians and pro-Israel lobbying. From Gavin Newsom’s bizarre “interesting” interview to Cory Booker’s evasions, and Jeff Duncan’s moral gymnastics, this episode breaks down how media-savvy hosts are holding political feet to the fire. Shoutout to the "I've Had It" podcast for leading some of these hard-hitting conversations—this one is for listeners who crave accountability.Rounding out the episode is a stark warning about the power of media manipulation. With TikTok’s future potentially being reshaped by Oracle’s acquisition and the Ellison dynasty expanding control over CBS and Paramount, what does this mean for narrative control, especially around Gaza and Israel? Add a dash of 9/11 conspiracy, a jab at Building 7, and a savage "First Woman on the Moon" sketch, and you’ve got one of the most blistering, multi-layered episodes yet.

🎙️ EP#381 | GUEST | The Kirk Assassination, Freemasonry, and Controlled Opposition w/ Brandon ConceicaoIn this explosive and unfiltered episode, Ray sits down with Brandon Conceicao—one of the boldest emerging voices on Instagram—to dissect the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the shadowy alliances controlling today's political narratives. From the power dynamics of Turning Point USA to the occult-coded language of U.S. politicians, Brandon lays out a theory-packed, deeply spiritual, and historically-informed breakdown of what's really going on behind the scenes.The duo explore why Kirk’s sudden reversal on Israel may have led to his targeted killing, and unpack the immediate political ripple effects—from Marjorie Taylor Greene’s awakening to record numbers of U.S. lawmakers visiting Jerusalem. But this episode doesn’t stop at geopolitics. It dives headfirst into the spiritual war, ancient symbols, Freemasonic rituals, and the psyops used to manufacture allegiance and obedience.Whether it's the symbolism in Trump’s speeches, the rise and fall of Nick Fuentes, or Candace Owens’ 18-day Zoom engagement to a British noble, this conversation touches every nerve. Ray and Brandon also look at the digital war—how TikTok’s algorithm purge, Larry Ellison’s influence, and censorship are shaping the battle for consciousness. This is a masterclass in decoding truth in the age of mass manipulation.🔥 Top 7 Key Points🧠 Charlie Kirk = Modern JFK?👁️ Freemasonry & Hand Signals in Politics🔄 Controlled Opposition: Tucker, Candace, & Nick💣 Valhalla Theory: Is Charlie Really Dead?📵 TikTok Censorship & Ellison’s Takeover🌍 Greater Israel = Gateway to WW3🧘 Spiritual Warfare, Ancient Teachings & India🔑 Keywords & ThemesCharlie Kirk, assassination, Turning Point USA, Brandon Conceicao, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Israel, Palestine, controlled opposition, Freemasonry, Trump, George Farmer, spiritual warfare, mudras, Epstein, CIA, TikTok censorship, Larry Ellison, Oracle, IDF, WW3, Rothschild, Balfour Declaration, media control, guru, India awakening⏳ Chapters & Timestamps00:00 – Intro & Brandon’s Background01:30 – Kirk Assassination = JFK Moment04:50 – Marjorie Taylor Greene, Controlled Dissent08:00 – Turning Point, Candace Owens & Freemason Ties12:40 – “Master Builder” & Masonic Language16:10 – Nick Fuentes: FBI Plant or Not?22:30 – Valhalla Theory & The Smoking Lavalier31:40 – Gaza, Greater Israel, & WW3 Setup40:15 – Digital Enslavement via AI & Electric IDs49:00 – TikTok Censorship, Larry Ellison, & IDF54:00 – Who’s Left Telling the Truth?📢 Let’s Stay Connected📌 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deepshallowdive📌 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepshallowdive/📌 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@deepshallowdive📌 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@deepshallowdive📌 Twitter: https://twitter.com/deepshallowdive📌 Threads: https://threads.net/@deepshallowdive

🎙️ EP#380 | DSD | Candace, Charlie, & Conspiracies: What’s Really Going On?What starts as a hilarious story about a bro getting humbled by a hot Pilates class quickly spirals into a powerful takedown of media narratives, political blind spots, and global deception. In this episode, we go from sweat-soaked workouts at Hotworx to deep dives into Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk’s death, JFK parallels, Israeli politics, and how influencers are allegedly being bought — all with the classic DSD edge.Damian Young shares his thoughts on why Candace Owens might be the only one genuinely grieving Charlie Kirk, and why the eerie silence surrounding his death feels orchestrated. From questionable timelines to odd funeral logistics and a lack of public outrage, this episode demands critical thinking. The JFK comparison? Hard to ignore. Especially when it’s laid out with precision and skepticism. Damian breaks it down — and calls it like it is.Plus: a wild 60 Minutes segment might be quietly planting seeds about Syria’s next role in global conflict, and a shocking expose reveals social media influencers allegedly being paid by the Israeli government to shape public sentiment.

🎙️ EP379 | DSD | Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk & The Chaos in GazaIn this explosive solo episode, host Ray peels back the layers of the media fog to deliver unfiltered takes on two massive stories: the situation in Gaza and the escalating Candace Owens vs. Charlie Kirk fallout. Ray doesn’t hold back as he questions the legitimacy of ceasefire talks, dives into the motives behind potential long-game real estate plays in Gaza, and critiques the media’s quick fade from the story. He challenges mainstream narratives and calls out the silence surrounding deeper geopolitical intentions.Switching gears, Ray breaks down the bombshell screenshots dropped by Candace Owens—texts between Charlie Kirk, Rob McCoy, and others—that reveal the internal chaos and donor pressure at Turning Point USA just days before Charlie's assassination. With shocking admissions now confirmed by TPUSA’s own Andrew Colvitt, the episode raises urgent questions about power, truth, and money in conservative media circles. Ray applauds Candace for not backing down and staying relentless where others have gone silent.This episode also connects today's cultural absurdities—like vaccine bribery with free fries and bizarre AI-generated content—with the broader social narrative of how easily truth is buried. From the echoes of JFK to the lunacy of COVID-era conformity, Ray takes a sharp, witty, and brutally honest look at what’s really happening beneath the surface. If you're ready to question the noise and think independently, this episode hits hard.🔥 Top 5 Key PointsCandace Owens releases confirmed group chat exposing Turning Point USA tensionsRay questions the legitimacy of the Gaza ceasefire and outlines a potential long-term displacement strategyCharlie Kirk’s assassination compared to the JFK moment of our eraRay critiques partisan blindness and the weaponization of both conservative and liberal ideologiesCommentary on the rise of deepfake culture and AI-driven media manipulation🔑 Keywords & ThemesCandace Owens, Charlie Kirk, Turning Point USA, Rob McCoy, Andrew Colvitt, Gaza, Israel, Hamas, ceasefire, hostages, Jared Kushner, real estate in Gaza, conservative media, group chat leaks, donor pressure, assassination, Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Gen Z, Elijah and Jad, pro-Palestinian, Netanyahu, fake ceasefire, political manipulation, media silence, AI video, Sora, Google Veo, COVID-era comparisons, JFK reference⏳ Chapters & Timestamps00:00 – Free class shoutout: HotWorks02:42 – Gaza ceasefire skepticism04:14 – Ray’s take on Hamas and hostage dynamics07:29 – Gaza redevelopment: Kushner’s endgame?08:24 – Candace Owens drops group chat bombshell09:29 – Turning Point’s PR scramble and confirmation11:11 – Inside the chat: donors, pressure, betrayal13:21 – Ray reflects on assassination aftermath15:43 – Conservative movement vs. truth17:43 – Ray’s COVID-era comparisons18:52 – AI content, Sora, and media distortion21:25 – Trump vs. Biden: Golfgate debate flashback22:14 – Final thoughts, book promo, and weekend send-off23:17 – Sponsored by Zipix Nicotine Toothpicks📢 Connect with DSD on Social Media📌 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deepshallowdive📌 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepshallowdive/📌 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@deepshallowdive📌 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@deepshallowdive📌 Twitter: https://twitter.com/deepshallowdive📌 Threads: https://threads.net/@deepshallowdive🤯 Candace Drops Real Receipts🌍 Gaza’s Future Is Not What It Seems🧠 Donor Pressure Destroys Conservative Truth🔥 Charlie’s Assassination = Our JFK Moment💸 Is Jared Kushner Gaza’s New Landlord?🗣️ Ray vs. Political Lunacy – Both Sides🎭 AI Is Blurring the Real & Fake

🎙️ EP#378 | DSD | UT Think Tank: Gen Z, Gaza, and the Politics of DialogueIn this deeply charged episode of Deep Shallow Dive, host Ray Doustdar reunites with returning guest Elijah Kahlenberg and introduces his partner-in-peace, Jadd Hashem, for a raw, unfiltered conversation on Gen Z’s evolving political consciousness, their peace-building work with Atidna International, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. What starts as a catch-up between friends quickly turns into an enlightening debate on identity, activism, and systemic propaganda.Jadd shares his experience growing up Palestinian-American in Texas, navigating Muslim and Arab identity post-9/11, and confronting anti-Palestinian bias among peers and media narratives. Elijah dives into his own transformation as a young Jewish American—raised on Zionist ideology—and how honest conversations and empathy with Palestinians reshaped his worldview. Together, the duo unpacks generational shifts in opinion, the role of American politics, and the spiritual and historical ties that unite Jewish and Palestinian people far more than divide them.From the streets of Gaza and the halls of UT Austin to New York’s mayoral race and the dark truths behind settler violence, this episode doesn’t flinch. The trio also explore the role of the Democratic Party, the controversial idea that Hamas may be propped up as a political tool, and how groups like Atidna are fostering real peace and dialogue where governments fail.

🎙️ EP#377 | DSD | Sanchez Stabbed, Kirk Silenced, Gaza Spun: Truth Bombs IncomingAfter a brief recharge, Ray is back—and diving in headfirst. In this raw and rapid-fire solo episode, Ray unpacks a wild mix of recent headlines, controversies, and cultural shifts. From Mark Sanchez’s bizarre parking-lot stabbing incident to the deeper implications of weaponized religion, this episode brings the trademark DSD intensity with unfiltered insight and a sharp lens on media narratives.Ray breaks down the growing divide over Christianity’s role in politics, sparked by voices like Reverend Munther Isaac and the post-Charlie Kirk fallout. He critiques the redefinition of religious loyalty as political allegiance, exposing how verses like Genesis 12:3 are used to justify blind support for modern geopolitical agendas. This conversation leads straight into the ideological battles within the MAGA movement and how certain factions are exploiting theology to manipulate public opinion.He doesn’t stop there. Ray calls out the mainstream media and political elites—from Van Jones' Gaza remarks to possible AI-generated Trump Oval Office clips. He questions why key figures have gone silent or moved on post-Charlie Kirk, including Kirk's own inner circle. The final segment hits hard with Rob O’Neill’s piercing analysis of the assassination footage and the suspiciously quick cleanup of the crime scene—reigniting doubts and sharpening suspicions.

🎙️ EP#375 | DSD | What's the Play? Charlie, Chaos & Christian ChessThe death of Charlie Kirk has shaken the political and cultural landscape—and this episode pulls no punches. We dive headfirst into the confusion, conspiracy, and contradictions surrounding the official story. From the mysterious bullet wound to the alleged involvement of the Netanyahu administration, no angle is off-limits.Ray D breaks down Brett Weinstein's sharp critique of the Trump administration and uses it as a springboard to examine whether voters were duped, divided, or dangerously uninformed.

🎙️ EP#373 | DSD | The Charlie Kirk Assassination: Narrative Breakdown, Media Silence & Shifting AllegiancesThe assassination of Charlie Kirk has sent shockwaves across political, religious, and media landscapes. In this episode, we unpack the chaotic and controversial narrative surrounding his death — dissecting the alleged timeline, the official story, and the glaring inconsistencies that have ignited widespread skepticism. Ray D dives deep into the convoluted details, from the mysterious rifle assembly to the presence of a potential patsy, questioning what really happened on that rooftop and why the crime scene was dismantled in record time.We also explore the media reaction — or lack thereof — and the peculiar order in which world leaders and publications responded. Why did Israel’s Prime Minister and the Jerusalem Post know about Kirk’s death before most U.S. outlets? Was Kirk, once a staunch supporter of Israel, beginning to shift ideologically? With clips from Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and even Charlie himself, the episode presents compelling evidence of a man evolving — and possibly threatening powerful interests in the process.But Ray doesn’t stop there. He scrutinizes Kirk's legacy with brutal honesty, acknowledging his immense talent and influence while holding him accountable for his more divisive rhetoric — particularly about Islam and Muslims. Through it all, Ray reminds us of a vital truth: no one should die for their opinions, no matter how controversial. This is a comprehensive, no-BS breakdown of a story that’s far from over.🔥 Top 5 Key Points:The official story surrounding Kirk’s assassination is full of logical holes.A mysterious “patsy” appears to have played a distraction role — and has a bizarre background.Tucker Carlson claims Charlie lost donors for associating with him and others critical of Israel.Israel was the first to report Kirk’s death — and Netanyahu responded almost instantly.Kirk may have been shifting ideologically, aligning more with Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson.🔑 Keywords & Themes:Charlie Kirk, assassination, conspiracy, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Netanyahu, Israel, Gaza, Zionism, anti-Semitism, political rhetoric, Gen Z conservatives, Turning Point USA, disinformation, media silence, U.S. foreign policy, Mossad, shooter narrative, cover-up, rifle assembly, George Zinn, Epstein files, crime scene tampering, Bibi Netanyahu, Deep State, narrative control, conservative influencers⏳ Chapters & Timestamps:00:00 – 🎬 Intro & Housekeeping01:30 – 💬 Listener Feedback & Episode Reflections04:45 – 🧪 Dr. Brian’s LSD, Food Science & Soul Journey06:30 – 🌕 Moon Landing Hoax?

From startling photographic evidence to confessions of murder to cover up the truth, Bart takes us deep into one of the most controversial topics of our time: Did we really go to the moon? And if not — why the hell not?Bart doesn’t hold back as he lays out a compelling case, using logic, photography, witness testimony, and AI analysis to suggest that the Apollo missions were elaborate fabrications.

🎙️ EP#367 | GUEST | From Turning Point to Turning Back: Caroline Stout’s Exit from Conservative PoliticsFrom teenage Republican rising star to political dissenter, Caroline Stout’s journey is anything but predictable. In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, Ray sits down with Caroline to explore her transformation from a high-ranking member of Turning Point USA to a progressive activist challenging the very institutions she once embraced. Raised in a megachurch in suburban Texas, she opens up about the seamless blending of Christian evangelicalism with conservative politics—and how that fusion made questioning her beliefs feel like a crisis of faith.Caroline reveals how she was handpicked by conservative leadership at 16, invited to CPAC, and elevated into the inner circles of the GOP youth movement. But behind the glitz of backstage passes and conservative media exposure, Caroline began to wrestle with internal conflicts—particularly the disconnect between her compassion-driven values and the movement’s increasingly extreme rhetoric. From writing for Turning Point's website to dealing with online harassment for calling out the alt-right, her story reveals the hidden toll of political conformity and the courage it takes to walk away.Now a communications director for a Democratic congressional campaign in Texas, Caroline shares what drives her activism today. She discusses how ideology becomes identity, the backlash she faced from her conservative family, and her mission to offer a safe landing spot for others leaving hardline politics behind. If you’ve ever questioned the political or religious dogma you were raised with, this episode will speak directly to you.🔥 Top 7 Key Points🧨 The Turning Point Trap💣 Politics Meets Pulpit🎭 Identity vs. Ideology🧠 The Cost of Changing Beliefs📉 Alt-Right Backlash🗳️ Flipping a Texas Seat✝️ Faith Beyond Politics🔑 Keywords & Themes:Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, conservative movement, CPAC, MAGA, Trumpism, evangelical Christianity, Texas politics, Republican youth, Christian nationalism, political indoctrination, megachurch culture, conservative media, alt-right, identity crisis, leaving the GOP, political awakening, religious deconstruction, Caroline Stout, Ray Doustdar, DSD podcast, disinformation, separation of church and state, political redemption, Gen Z politics⏳ Chapters & Timestamps:00:00 – Introduction: Caroline Stout’s Conservative Origin Story02:00 – Growing Up in a Baptist Megachurch in Texas05:20 – The Christian Zionist Upbringing & Israel Question08:15 – Getting Recruited by Turning Point at 1610:30 – The Allure of Fiscal Conservatism vs. Social Discomfort12:50 – CPAC & Young Republican Stardom15:00 – The Cult Psychology of Conservative Youth Activism19:00 – Turning Point’s Shift During the Rise of Trump24:00 – Condemning the Alt-Right & Facing Backlash26:00 – Realizing Media Manipulation from the Inside29:00 – Wrestling with Faith While Questioning Politics34:00 – Doubt, Shame, and the Path to Deconstruction36:00 – Facing Online Hate and Accepting Responsibility39:00 – Transitioning to Progressive Activism42:00 – Campaigning to Flip a Seat in Texas46:00 – Family Fallout and Political Isolation48:00 – Final Thoughts on Belonging, Belief, and Bravery📢 Follow & Support DSD📌 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deepshallowdive📌 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepshallowdive/📌 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@deepshallowdive📌 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@deepshallowdive📌 Twitter: https://twitter.com/deepshallowdive📌 Threads: https://threads.net/@deepshallowdive

🎙️ EP#366 | DSD | Trump’s Hand, Epstein’s List & The Black Eye TheoryIn this gripping solo episode, Ray dives into a whirlwind of recent political whispers, conspiracy breadcrumbs, and media blackouts—starting with a curious burn-like mark on Donald Trump's hand. Why is it being covered up? Is it medical, cosmetic, or something more? This leads into a broader conversation on elite secrecy, symbolism, and how even body language can fuel speculation about power, vulnerability, and control in today’s volatile political theater.Ray doesn't stop there. He revisits the disturbing mystery of Jeffrey Epstein, playing a previously overlooked clip from Hunter Biden that candidly acknowledges the shadowy web Epstein operated in—and wonders why the public still lacks answers. Then, he rolls tape on some rare commentary by Nick Fuentes and Ian Carroll, who push bold theories connecting blackmail, pageants, and Trump’s potential deeper involvement in the machinery of power.Lastly, Ray reflects on past guests, from the emotional resilience of USS Liberty survivor Phil Turney to the raw authenticity of Jeremy Slayton.

Jeremy draws direct parallels between the USS Liberty, COVID-era psyops, and October 7th false flags, and even expands on his belief that Israel benefited most from 9/11. Together, they expose the deep reluctance of mainstream Christian leaders to question the Israeli state, laying bare the political and financial reasons behind that silence. The conversation swings between biblical history, political strategy, and the psychological cost of dissent.Ray also explores Jeremy's evolving public persona—his raw, heartfelt videos, and his willingness to question sacred cows, even at great personal and professional risk. The episode ends with a preview of Jeremy’s next major move: attending the “Tide is Turning” 9/11 Truth conference in Washington D.C., where he plans to ask the questions others won’t.🔥 Top 7 Key Points🧠 Dispensationalism Is a Modern Construct🕍 Christian Zionism Faces a Theological Crisis🧬 Genetics ≠ Chosen People📉 October 7th Was a “Green Flag” Operation🚨 USS Liberty and 9/11 Are Canon Events💸 Pastors Are Silent Because of Money, Fear, and Pride🎙️ Jeremy Is Taking the Fight to D.C.🔑 Keywords & ThemesZionism, Dispensationalism, Evangelical Christianity, USS Liberty, 9/11 Truth, Israel-Palestine, October 7th, Green Flag Operation, Christian Zionism, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump, Greater Israel Project, False Flags, Cognitive Dissonance, Schofield Bible, Operation Lockstep, COVID-19, Richard Gage, Nick Fuentes, Anti-Semitism, Christian Awakening, Neo-cons, Judeo-Christian Politics, Middle East Geopolitics⏳ Chapters & Timestamps00:00 – Intro & JSlayUSA’s Most-Mentioned Guest Status02:00 – Greg Stoker, Evangelicals, and Modern Liberalism06:30 – The USS Liberty & Evangelical Cognitive Dissonance10:45 – Dispensationalism Explained: The Darby Legacy18:00 – The Divide Within Christianity Over Israel25:00 – COVID vs Theology: Doctors & Pastors Alike31:00 – October 7th: Manufactured Consent?36:00 – 9/11, Netanyahu, and the Beneficiaries43:00 – The Silence of Pastors: Pride, Money, Fear49:00 – The Nick Fuentes Problem & Gen Z Awakening55:00 – Racism vs Anti-Semitism in the Church1:01:00 – The Open Borders Strategy: Mayorkas & Loomer1:04:00 – JSlay Heads to Washington for 9/11 Truth1:10:00 – Final Thoughts on Israel, Truth, and Courage📢 Follow Deep Shallow Dive on Socials!📌 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deepshallowdive📌 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deepshallowdive/📌 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@deepshallowdive📌 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@deepshallowdive📌 Twitter: https://twitter.com/deepshallowdive📌 Threads: https://threads.net/@deepshallowdive
