Jared Holt returns to the show to talk about a new report that digs into user data for Rumble, the right-wing alternative to YouTube. Despite a hefty valuation, the site seems to be overrun by just a handful of users that generate an outsized percent of the content uploaded and user comments.
We also talk about the indictment of friend of the show Kat Abughazaleh and what Jared is seeing on the ground in Chicago.

Ep. 418: Nostalgiacore ft. Matthew Gault
Matthew Gault of 404 Media joins Jordan to talk about DHS using Halo imagery and “Destroy the Flood” to recruit for ICE. They explore the fascist undertones of likening immigrants to The Flood, an invasive species of parasites in the Halo franchise, and other ways the Trump administration has leveraged nostalgia for insidious purposes.
