Lost Debate - The Most Serious Trump Indictment, Male Gaming Spike, Religious Public Schools?
In one of the most important cases in American history, former President Donald Trump was indicted on Tuesday by Special Counsel Jack Smith in connection with Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Rikki and Ravi talk through the indictment, the strength of the case, and Trump’s best defense.
A recent study found young men now play video games more than ever before. What are the repercussions of this post-pandemic spike?
Finally, a fight is raging over a new religious charter school in Oklahoma. The hosts unpack the state's thorny first amendment debate and question if this crosses the line between church and state.

Palestinian-American activist Omar Baddar joins Bad Faith for a point-by-point refutation of RFK Jr's views on Palestine, the conduct of the IDF, and what fellow Presidential candidate Marianne Williams has called "dated AIPAC talking points." In the wake of a controversial interview on the Jimmy Dore Show -- as well as Briahna's own showdown with RFK Jr. on Rising -- it's worth parsing what is and isn't true.

Stuff They Don't Want You To Know - CLASSIC: What are Ultraterrestrials?
Despite diligent, time-consuming efforts by institutions across the planet, human beings have yet to find any universally-accepted proof of extraterrestrial life. For many, this is a simple function of the math involved -- the universe is just too large for us to plausibly meet creatures from another planet. But according to several fringe researchers, we're just looking in the wrong place. We should focus, they argue, not on life from other planets... but on life from other dimensions. Listen in to learn more about the strange story of the Ultraterrestrial theory.
