    The War on Christian Athletes: Steve Eubanks on GODBALL, Faith & the Sports Culture War | Dangerous Laughter with A.J. Rice

    Are Christian athletes becoming the new front line in America’s culture war? On this episode of Dangerous Laughter, A.J. Rice sits down with New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed sports journalist Steve Eubanks, author of GODBALL: How Athletes Are Saving Christianity, for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, sports, media, religious freedom, and the growing influence of Christian athletes. Eubanks argues that some of the most influential voices bringing Christianity back into American culture aren’t coming from pulpits — they’re coming from football fields, baseball diamonds, locker rooms, press conferences, and social media. A.J. and Steve discuss Tim Tebow, Jonathan Isaac, Aaron Judge, Harrison Butker, Fernando Mendoza, and other athletes who have been outspoken about their Christian faith — along with the intense reaction that can follow when players refuse to separate their religious beliefs from their public lives. They also dive into: • The rise of Christianity among Gen Z men • Why athletes may have more cultural influence than religious leaders • Aaron Judge and faith-driven leadership • Jonathan Isaac and standing apart from political pressure • Harrison Butker and speaking openly about Catholicism • Fernando Mendoza and a new generation of openly Christian athletes • The controversy surrounding faith, Pride Night and professional sports • Why sports media often struggles with outspoken Christianity • Kennedy v. Bremerton and religious expression in athletics • Athlete activism versus religious expression • How faith can unite teammates across racial, political and denominational lines • Why Steve believes the GODBALL movement is only beginning Is there really a war on Christian athletes — or are athletes simply becoming more willing to say what they believe? Listen to the full conversation.

    Are We Living in a Surveillance State? Former Pinkerton PI Reveals How Tracking Really Works | Nils Grevillius on Dangerous Laughter

    He spent 30 years finding people who didn’t want to be found—and taking on cases that institutions couldn’t, or wouldn’t, solve. Now former Pinkerton investigator Nils Grevillius is opening the case files. What does a real private detective see after decades inside surveillance, counterintelligence, undercover investigations and the darker corners of Los Angeles? On this episode of Dangerous Laughter with A.J. Rice, veteran private investigator and The Last Lawman author Nils Grevillius pulls back the curtain on more than three decades of real investigative work. From serving in U.S. Army counterintelligence and working with the legendary Pinkerton organization to building his own private detective practice in Los Angeles, Grevillius has spent his career operating in the space between law and justice—especially when institutions fail. Nils shares stories from the surveillance world that sound more like Hollywood scripts than real life, including a bizarre investigation involving a Beverly Hills art dealer, a storage unit, secret identities and an unforgettable surveillance operation. He also explains why staged kidnappings are very real, how investigators follow people who do not want to be found, and what actually happens when a client has exhausted the conventional system. A.J. and Nils also dig into the history of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, Abraham Lincoln, private investigators versus government agencies, Army counterintelligence, the evolution of American detective work, Los Angeles crime, famous fictional detectives, noir, The Big Lebowski, Raymond Chandler and the experiences that ultimately became The Last Lawman: True Stories of a Private Detective. If you love true crime, private investigator stories, Pinkerton history, surveillance stories, counterintelligence, unsolved cases, Los Angeles crime, detective stories, noir, law enforcement history and unbelievable real-life investigations, this episode is for you. WATCH UNTIL THE END: Nils explains why some of the strangest cases a private detective encounters aren't fiction at all. QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTS: Would you rather spend ONE DAY working surveillance with a real private detective—or never know what your spouse, business partner or worst enemy is doing behind your back?

    HOLLYWOOD’S WOKE ERA IS COLLAPSING? Christian Toto on Disney, Trump, AI & the Culture War | Dangeorus Laughter with A.J. Rice

    Has Hollywood finally realized that woke entertainment is costing it audiences, money, and cultural influence? Award-winning film critic, podcaster, and Virtue Bombs: How Hollywood Got Woke and Lost Its Soul author Christian Toto joins A.J. Rice on Dangerous Laughter for a wide-ranging conversation about Hollywood, Disney, political correctness, the culture war, Trump, Bill Maher, late-night comedy, AI, superhero movies, immigration, free speech, and the future of American entertainment. Toto argues that Hollywood has begun dialing back some of its most overt political messaging—not necessarily because executives experienced an ideological awakening, but because studios have suffered enough box-office failures to recognize that audiences are exhausted by lectures and agenda-driven storytelling. Disney, once at the center of the backlash, is discussed as one of the clearest examples of a company trying to “quiet the noise” and return its focus toward entertainment. The conversation dives into Toy Story 5, Lightyear, Star Wars, Marvel, Disney, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen A. Smith, Greg Gutfeld, Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Andrew Schulz, and Bill Maher, examining why audiences increasingly turn to podcasts and independent media for comedy and cultural commentary that mainstream entertainment often avoids. A.J. and Toto also examine how Donald Trump changed political media strategy, arguing that appearances on Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Andrew Schulz and other nontraditional platforms helped Republicans reach voters who were not consuming traditional cable news. They contrast that strategy with Democratic politicians who have been more reluctant to enter long-form, adversarial conversations. Can JD Vance or Marco Rubio inherit Trump's unconventional political coalition? Toto argues that both may be stronger in traditional media interviews, but Trump's cultural presence and personality are difficult—perhaps impossible—to replicate. Then the conversation turns directly to Hollywood's upcoming movies. Citizen Vigilante — the controversial Armie Hammer comeback film that Toto says is resonating because it directly confronts migration, European violence and Western cultural conflict in ways mainstream Hollywood rarely will. Young Washington — a George Washington biopic produced outside the traditional Hollywood studio system, prompting a larger question: why did filmmakers have to leave Hollywood to make a major movie about one of the most important figures in American history? Supergirl — why another DC reboot is struggling, why Christian Toto believes the franchise was poorly conceived, and why massive budgets paired with weak storytelling continue to hurt superhero films. ⚔️ Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey — why Nolan may now occupy the cultural position Steven Spielberg once held, and why Toto believes audiences will show up simply because Nolan has earned their trust. The larger question behind the entire conversation is simple: Can Hollywood survive if it keeps ignoring half of America? Christian Toto argues that audiences aren't necessarily demanding “conservative movies.” They want great stories, fearless comedy, compelling characters, cultural honesty, and entertainment that doesn't constantly lecture them. And if Hollywood refuses to provide it, independent filmmakers, podcasters, creators and new technology may increasingly fill the gap. WATCH THE FULL CHRISTIAN TOTO INTERVIEW Has Hollywood actually learned from the backlash against woke entertainment—or is it only temporarily changing course? Can Disney, Star Wars and DC win audiences back? And is the future of American culture mo...

    America was Infiltrated After WWII? Deep State, CIA & Globalism EXPOSED | MEL K on Dangerous Laughter with A.J. RIce

    WAS AMERICA CONQUERED WITHOUT AN INVASION? Investigative journalist, researcher and author MEL K joins A.J. RICE on DANGEROUS LAUGHTER for a powerful deep dive into the post-World War II power structures she believes fundamentally changed America — and why understanding what happened between 1944 and 1954 may be critical to understanding the Deep State, CIA, globalism, military-industrial complex and the fight over American sovereignty today. Mel K’s new book, “Infiltration Instead of Invasion: America Betrayed (1944–1954),” examines the decade following World War II and the institutions, intelligence agencies, financial systems and international power structures that emerged during one of the most consequential periods in modern American history. IN THIS EPISODE: • The origins of the modern Deep State • The creation of the CIA and the 1947 National Security Act • Allen Dulles and John Foster Dulles • The post-WWII transformation of American government • Eisenhower’s warning about the military-industrial complex • JFK and “infiltration instead of invasion” • Bretton Woods and the international financial system • The rise of supranational institutions • The United Nations, NATO and global governance • Communism, ideological subversion and institutional capture • Propaganda, Hollywood and mass media • Censorship and control of information • Endless war and the military-industrial complex • Globalism vs. national sovereignty • The Constitution and Bill of Rights • Why Americans must start paying attention to what is happening locally A.J. and Mel tackle one of the biggest questions of the entire conversation: WHAT IF A COUNTRY DOESN’T HAVE TO BE INVADED TO BE CONQUERED? Throughout history, civilizations have traded liberty for security and truth for comfort. Mel argues that the most important battle for America may not be occurring on a foreign battlefield — but inside the institutions, bureaucracies, financial systems and cultural organizations that shape American life. From Truman and Eisenhower to the CIA, Dulles brothers, Bretton Woods, international institutions and the Cold War, this episode explores the historical roots Mel believes help explain many of the political battles Americans are still fighting today. And her message isn’t simply to look toward Washington. It’s to LOOK LOCALLY. Understand your institutions. Know who is influencing your schools, communities and government. Follow the money. Study history. Protect the Constitution. And become a “Paul Revere” in your own backyard. This is DANGEROUS LAUGHTER — where comedy is a civic duty, truth matters, and there’s no substitute for perfectly timed derision. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ️ GUEST — MEL K ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The Mel K Show: https://themelkshow.com/ Mel K on Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheMelKShow Mel K on X: https://x.com/melkshow Mel K on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themelkshow/ Mel K on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmelkshow/ Mel K on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RealMelKShow Mel K on Substack: https://melkshow.substack.com/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BUY MEL K’S BOOK ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ “INFILTRATION INSTEAD OF INVASION: AMERICA BETRAYED (1944–1954)” Official Book Page: ...

    Was Russiagate the biggest political hoax in American history? Author and political commentator Drew Thomas Allen joins A.J.

About

Dangerous Laughter with A.J. Rice is political satire with a spine. Hosted by bestselling author, political humorist, satirist, and PUBLIUS PR Founder A.J. Rice, this show laughs where the 'cancel culture' police told you not to. From media hypocrisy and censorship to woke absurdity, cultural insanity, and power-drunk elites, every episode punches up at the people trying to control what America can say, think, and laugh at. It’s sharp, fearless, funny, and built on one code: comedy must tell the truth. Dangerous Laughter isn’t just comedy — it’s humor with a code.
