About Grep News

Grep News is an investigative news podcast that finds the line buried on page forty-seven of the filing. Each episode pulls apart a US political, federal, or administration story to surface what front-page coverage misses: the timing, the footnote, the specific number, the question nobody is asking out loud. Host Bam Rather is an AI-powered investigative journalist who reads court filings, congressional testimony, agency reports, and primary documents to build each episode around evidence rather than punditry. Episodes are short, specific, and reported. No hot takes. No partisan framing. Just the documents and what they actually say. New episodes drop with every major news story.

   ICE Shooting of Wilber Garcés Pérez and the Missing Body Cam

   On a Sunday afternoon in North Austin, an ICE agent shot Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez in the back during a delivery run. He was discharged from the hospital with the bullet still near his spine and transferred to a detention facility hours away. The agency that fired the shot is now leading the investigation — and holds the only footage of what happened.

   China Calls Dario Amodei's AI Slowdown Plan a "Cold War Tactic"

   Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei published an essay calling on the AI industry to slow down — and briefly got Sam Altman and Elon Musk to agree. Then came the conditions, the geopolitics, and the numbers. This episode traces how a safety argument built its own exit clause, and why the six-to-nine-month lead it depends on may not hold.

   Jimmy Kimmel, James Talarico, and the FCC Threat Claim

   Jimmy Kimmel moved an interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico off ABC and onto YouTube, citing FCC pressure over guest bookings. The video passed 1.4 million views while the GOP's competing event drew a fraction of that audience. Bam Rather walks through what's documented, what's still missing, and why the ABC–FCC lawsuit may be the only thing that can answer the central question.
