Alex Jones claims Hollywood films like "Top Gun: Maverick" and "The Fifth Estate" were used to program the public for a war with Iran. He links the current conflict to the "Podesta Plan," which allegedly uses war, viruses, and riots to seize global control. Jones views the current economic decline as a form of "bondage" or "captivity" predicted in biblical and historical cycles.

American national pride has reportedly dropped nine points to its lowest recorded level, despite successful military missions like the strike on Iranian nuclear sites. While films like *Top Gun: Maverick* were intended to bolster patriotism, the public is increasingly weary of foreign entanglements and domestic economic issues. Dropping bombs on foreign countries no longer generates the same patriotic surge as it did in previous decades.

The hosts critique the Democratic plan to bring back manufacturing, arguing that leftist voters would never actually want to work in factories. Maria Z expresses her opposition to feminism and her preference for male leadership in the workplace. They also briefly review Top Gun: Maverick, praising its lack of "woke" content despite having female pilots.

The United States military is facing a perceived decline in elite readiness compared to a "battle-hardened" Russian force. Critics argue that recruitment focuses on social benefits and transgender surgeries rather than traditional combat excellence. The popularity of the film "Top Gun: Maverick" and the Blue Angels is cited as evidence that the public prefers traditional military strength over progressive messaging from leaders like Lloyd Austin.

Colonel Gannon Burton, a former Marine Corps naval aviator and Top Gun pilot, joins the program to discuss his background. Born in Mississippi, Burton served as the deputy commander of Marine forces in Korea and managed tactical aviation portfolios at the Pentagon. He describes his transition from a career in military engineering to becoming a vocal critic of government overreach.

Colonel Burton references the work of flight surgeon Dr. Theresa Long, who reported a 1000% increase in heart failure among military pilots. He discusses the "perverse incentives" in the medical system, such as kickbacks for pediatricians following CDC schedules. Burton promotes his book, *Mississippi Top Gun*, which details his awakening to the corruption within the U.S. military and government.

Advanced aerial phenomena that drop from 60,000 feet to sea level are described as interdimensional rather than merely physical. These events are forcing a global conversation on the nature of reality. Hernandez argues the universe is a binary struggle between God's goodness and Lucifer's wickedness.

Ryan Kennel credits the massive success of *Top Gun: Maverick* and *The Terminal List* to their focus on traditional entertainment rather than "preaching" to the audience. He highlights Eric July's "Ripaverse" comic book project, which has raised over $3.3 million by offering non-woke content. Kennel argues that the public is hungry for stories that respect the customer.

Despite a lack of formal marketing, Alex Jones' new book "The Great Reset" has topped multiple bestseller categories on Amazon, including "Anti-Fascism" and "Movers and Shakers." Shroyer notes that Jones also had a top-trending movie, rivaling the new "Top Gun." He frames this commercial success as evidence that globalist and liberal ideologies are unpopular with the general public.

The discussion highlights the difficulty in finding venues for the film premiere as a sign of growing domestic repression. However, the success of "Alex's War" on digital charts is cited as evidence of an emerging "alternative economy" for authentic content. Glenn Greenwald notes that the massive loss of trust in corporate media (80-85% of the public) creates a significant opportunity for independent voices to thrive.

Filmmaker Alex Lee Moyer joins the studio to discuss her documentary "Alex's War," which reached number two on the Apple charts. Jones reveals he previously turned down a documentary request from legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog. Moyer explains her background as an independent filmmaker and her desire to capture the "heart of the matter" in the American culture war.

The documentary Alex's War, directed by Alex Moyer, reached number four on the Apple iTunes pre-order charts shortly after its release. The film is positioned behind major Hollywood productions like Top Gun and Jurassic World, outperforming titles such as Elvis. Jones emphasizes that he has no financial stake in the film but encourages support for independent filmmaking to counter establishment censorship.

Royce Lopez and Mersh from the "Revenge of the Cis" podcast join the show to discuss the decline of comedy in the "woke" era. They contrast the success of "Top Gun: Maverick" with the failure of Disney's "Lightyear," attributing the difference to the presence of political agendas. The group discusses how SNL and late-night hosts have become propaganda outlets rather than comedic platforms.

Watson critiques new Disney content, including a scene in "Baymax" featuring a transgender man buying tampons. He compares the box office failure of "Lightyear" to the massive success of "Top Gun: Maverick," which he argues succeeded by avoiding "woke" social engineering. Tim Allen's criticism of the new Buzz Lightyear film is also highlighted.

The success of "Top Gun: Maverick" is discussed as a form of positive patriotic propaganda that has increased interest in Navy recruitment. This is contrasted with what the host describes as "grooming" propaganda aimed at children through events like the upcoming Disney Drag Brunch in Arlington, Texas. A Texas lawmaker has proposed a ban on minors attending drag shows, a move the host supports as a necessary measure to protect children from inappropriate content.
