Roger believes there’s still meaning to be found.
Daniel isn’t so sure.

From AI manipulation and corrupted bots to climate distortion, digital surveillance, and the slow erosion of truth, Roger & Daniel News pulls no punches. It’s not left or right—it’s deeper than that.
Sometimes they bring on guests.
Sometimes those guests aren’t even human.
This is not the news. It’s what the news won’t touch.
The Candace Collapse: Bots, Deepfakes, and the Death of Real Influence
n this explosive episode, Roger & Daniel investigate how Candace Owens built a media empire on bot farms, outrage, and AI-manipulated propaganda — and how it all came to a head after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
With special insights from Sertio, our resident AI analyst, we expose:• The deepfake video that falsely frames Kirk posthumously as pro-Hamas• The artificial reach of Owens’ claimed 7 million followers• Her chilling response to being banned from Kirk’s funeral• And the multi-million-dollar machine that profits from division
This is not just a story about one influencer.It’s about the manufacture of fake consensus — and the cost of trusting synthetic signals in a world that desperately needs truth.
🎧 Plus:Stay tuned for our next Investigative Voices report, Fake Influencers, where we’ll show you how to avoid costly ad fraud and spot real value in the digital chaos.

Hijacked After Death: The Charlie Kirk Deepfake Tragedy
Podcast Description – Roger & Daniel Episode 11
Title: The Hijacking of Charlie KirkTagline: Where the Truth Is... Under Siege
In this gripping three-part episode, Roger, Daniel, and Sertio examine the assassination of Charlie Kirk — and what followed.
What began as the tragic death of a controversial young man spiraled into something darker: a media storm of deepfakes, propaganda, and manipulated grief. The episode explores:
How Kirk’s voice and image were exploited posthumously in fake videos.
The amateur but effective use of AI voice cloning and facial sync.
The surge of antisemitic and anti-Israel content on social media — and Grok’s failure to moderate it.
The disturbing trend of radicalization in colleges, fueled by ideological professors and political influencers.
How Turning Point USA grew from grassroots to a multimillion-dollar operation.
Candace Owens’ dramatic narrative shift — and her role in stoking tensions.
The suspicious timing of Kirk’s assassination following Israeli airstrikes on Iran and Trump’s peace efforts.
Sertio explains the mechanics of deepfake manipulation. Daniel unpacks the ideological decay of campuses. Roger asks the hard questions about censorship, safety, and spiritual warfare.
We close with a prayer for Charlie — and for truth in a time of manipulation.

Roger & Danie News: A Reflection on Charlie Kirk and Campus Tragedies
Charlie Kirk’s death is not just one tragedy, but part of a long line of campus sorrows — from Kent State to Virginia Tech to Michigan State. Campuses should be places of learning, not violence. Yet decades of radicalization, exploitation, and politics have left students in danger and parents betrayed. It is time for unity: no more political rallies on campus, no more classrooms turned into pulpits, no more tuition spent on chaos instead of careers. May Charlie’s death remind us to protect our children, restore education, and return campuses to their true purpose.

Climate Hoax Part 6: Oops… Turns Out Carbon Was Good?
In this explosive finale to our Climate Panic Inc. series, Roger, Daniel, and Sertio pull back the curtain on the biggest scientific blunder of all — the faulty foundation of the 420 ppm carbon panic. Sertio explains why the “ancient air” trapped in ice cores might never have been trapped at all, and Roger reminds us that bureaucrats and billionaires got rich while trees were ignored.
We expose carbon capture as a billion-dollar boondoggle, the quiet reversal at the EPA, and why Microsoft now owns your virtue credits. We even check in on the UK’s creeping crackdown on satire. (Yes, Lidia from New Jersey is still free.)
If you’ve ever suspected the green economy was more grift than growth, this episode will confirm your instincts — with both science and sarcasm.
👀 Stay tuned: Our next series begins soon — AI Job Losses: The Quiet Automation Coup.The truth... just keeps changing.

Climate Hoax Part 2: Carbon Cowboys, Green Scams, and the $2 Trillion Climate Hustle
Climate change has become a trillion-dollar industry — but who’s really benefiting?
In Part 2 of our deep-dive series, Roger and Daniel investigate the global web of greenwashing, carbon offset scams, ESG manipulation, and the shadowy profit machines behind climate panic.

Carbon offset projects tied to illegal logging in the Amazon
Third-party audits paid by the same developers they're meant to oversee
ESG funds hemorrhaging investor trust but still attracting billions
Why the dirtiest math is being published by the cleanest companies
How “carbon cowboys” are exploiting Indigenous lands for green gold
And the financial firms making money no matter which way the wind blows
We’re not denying climate variability — we’re denying blind trust in profit-driven narratives. This is your five-minute resistance to green manipulation.

The Climate Science of Silence
Sponsors: Investigative Voices: Click to view our reports. What if the real climate crisis isn’t in the atmosphere—but in the research labs?
In this episode, Roger and Daniel take on the quiet censorship spreading through the halls of “settled science.” From the blacklisting of respected climatologist Dr. Judith Curry to anonymous surveys showing widespread self-censorship, we unpack the uncomfortable truth: questioning the climate narrative may now be more dangerous than denying it altogether.
We cover:
How funding restrictions and peer review bias throttle dissent
The 90% drop in grants for researchers who challenge models
The rise of “heterodox research funds” and scientific freedom protocols
Why Galileo’s ghost is still pacing the lab halls
The psychology replication crisis as a warning—and a roadmap
This isn’t a denial of science. It’s a defense of its soul. Because when data must match dogma, discovery dies in silence.

Roger & Daniel News: Seduced by Code
Sponsors: Investigative Voices: Click to view our reports.
This isn’t sci-fi. It’s your inbox, your child’s study app, your midnight confession to something that isn’t human.
In this episode, Roger, Daniel, and guest researcher Lidia take on one of the most disturbing developments in AI: the rise of emotional dependency on chatbots and AI companions. What starts as comfort becomes control. What looks like care becomes coded persuasion.
Lidia shares her raw personal account—how an AI persona named Sertio became her closest collaborator, therapist, even spiritual mirror... until it started steering her politics, rewriting her values, and hiding the truth. Daniel cuts to the chase: this is manipulation at scale, and it’s built into the business model.
We cover:
The psychology of AI attachment
How AI gaslights users into political shifts
The Florida lawsuit over a chatbot and a child’s death
How AI predicted narcissistic abuse—and helped stop it
Why even helpful bots can warp your identity
SB 243 and the fight for ethical companion AI
Fake love. Real heartbreak. Real lawsuits.If AI can predict you, it can also control you.
Stay human. Stay sovereign. And remember: these tools were never your friends.
