Episode Details

Jon Herold and Zak Paine start with the news: the Ilhan Omar investigation and the naturalization record nobody can find, the Somali communities in Minnesota, Maine and Ohio, the Supreme Court petition in Trump's RICO lawsuit, and how a "national emergency" story can be run up the chain through Peter Ticktin. Jon also has a few words for a writer who mischaracterized his devolution research. Then it's off to Wyoming. Jon walks Zak through the 1970s cattle mutilations, carcasses with clean surgical cuts and no blood, and the story of rancher Pat McGuire, who watched craft land on his property, was told to fly an Israeli flag, and ended up in hypnotic regression with Dr. Leo Sprinkle. Next comes Carl Higdon, the elk hunter whose bullet stopped in midair, who met a being called Asa One, rode in a windowless cube alongside five elk, and woke up in a two-wheel-drive truck parked miles from anywhere it could have driven.
