This episode of "Background Noise," the highly conversational program featuring several speakers (including hosts Joe, Omar, Chris, and guest Charlie), delves into a wide variety of topics, primarily focusing on conspiracy theories, current events, and pop culture. The main segment dedicated to conspiracy theories covers controversial and contentious subjects, such as the theory that J.P. Morgan orchestrated the Titanic sinking to eliminate financial rivals, the alleged CIA involvement in the JFK assassination due to the president's conflicts with the Federal Reserve, and ancient alien theories involving the Anunnaki genetically manipulating humanity, while also dedicating time to debunking "stupid idiot" theories like the Flat Earth and Tupac being alive. Discussions frequently branch into current political issues, including the Trump administration's policies regarding SNAP benefits (food stamps) and the divisive arguments surrounding U.S. immigration and citizenship processes, as well as recent events like the RICO case involving Eugene Henley ("Big U") in Los Angeles. Love it. Hate it. Listen to it. This is Background Noise.
