The Unknown Podcast, Episode 20: Immigration Wars, Court Corruption, and Political Scandals
In the 20th episode of The Unknown Podcast, hosts Michael Volpe and Richard Luthmann dive into a whirlwind of topics, touching on the latest political controversies, legal battles, and corruption within the family court system. Broadcasting from Chicago and Florida, respectively, the two journalists provide their signature no-holds-barred analysis of breaking stories and underreported issues.

Twitter Civil War: H-1B Visas Spark Firestorm
The episode kicks off with a discussion on a brewing controversy over H-1B visas, ignited by a Twitter debate involving Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Volpe explains that H-1B visas allow companies to hire foreign workers for specialized jobs when no qualified American applicants are available. However, the debate took a divisive turn when MAGA conservatives slammed both Musk and Ramaswamy for supporting the program, accusing them of undermining American workers by favoring cheaper foreign labor.

Ramaswamy, who previously called H-1B visas "indentured servitude," now appears to be defending them, drawing criticism for his inconsistency. Luthmann, weighing in, argues that while the U.S. is a nation of immigrants, it is essential to enforce visa regulations to prevent abuse. He highlights concerns over student visa holders overstaying and the lack of proper enforcement by immigration authorities.

Trump’s stance on H-1B visas also comes under scrutiny. Volpe quotes Trump’s 2016 remarks condemning the program as a "cheap labor scheme" that replaces American workers. However, critics argue that Trump did little to address the issue once in office. The hosts discuss whether his potential second term would bring a crackdown on visa fraud or simply more rhetoric.

Budget Battles: Trump’s Debt Ceiling Dilemma
The conversation shifts to Trump’s push to increase the debt ceiling, a move that has some conservatives questioning his fiscal responsibility. Volpe expresses frustration, pointing out that Trump failed to balance the budget during his first term and is now advocating for more government borrowing. Luthmann argues that Trump needs “room to work” and suggests that Democrats are setting traps to force Republicans into politically costly decisions.

RFK Jr.’s Anti-Vaccine Stance: Public Health or Dangerous Rhetoric?
The hosts then tackle Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s views on vaccines, specifically his role in an outbreak in Samoa that resulted in 83 deaths. Volpe questions whether RFK’s rhetoric contributed to vaccine hesitancy, while Luthmann takes a more skeptical stance, arguing that corporate-driven pharmaceutical science needs more scrutiny. The debate escalates into a broader discussion on the long-term effects of vaccines, with Luthmann speculating about possible links to obesity, autism, and diabetes—a theory that Volpe dismisses as highly speculative.

Family Court Horror Stories: The Suicide of Chris Mackney
A major segment focuses on the tragic suicide of Chris Mackney, a case that has become a symbol of family court abuse. Volpe recounts how Mackney left behind a suicide note exposing corruption in his divorce battle. His ex-wife, Dina Mackney, later obtained a copyright on the suicide note in an attempt to suppress its spread. However, this backfired, sparking the Streisand Effect, where censorship efforts only drew more attention.

Adding a dark twist, Volpe reveals that Dina’s father hired a contract killer in the 1960s to murder a business partner—a detail that highlights the murky background of the Mackney family. This story underscores a broader issue: how family courts destroy men financially and emotionally, pushing some to the brink of suicide.

Dinesh D’Souza’s TikTok Controversy & Fraud Lawsuit
Luthmann shifts the discussion to Dinesh Noshervan, a prominent social media figure with 2 million followers, who is embroiled in a lawsuit involving harassment claims. The lawsuit, filed in Florida, alleges that Noshervan and his wife suffer from PTSD due to online attacks. However, Luthmann points out the contradiction in their claims: if they are truly so mentally incapacitated, why are they still raising children?

The discussion explores how frivolous lawsuits are used as weapons in online feuds and how Noshervan’s social media empire has thrived on attacking public figures while playing the victim. The segment also touches on allegations of substance abuse, with Luthmann suggesting that Noshervan appears intoxicated during some of his broadcasts.

Family Court Corruption: The Paul Boyne Case
Another explosive topic is the Paul Boyne case, where Boyne, a Connecticut-based blogger, is currently in jail for his online criticisms of judges. Boyne’s blog, Family Court Circus, exposed judicial corruption, leading to his arrest on speech-related charges.

Volpe reads a list of alleged “threats” made by Boyne, which include phrases like “50 cal to the head” and “Molotov cocktails”. However, the hosts argue that no reasonable person would interpret these statements as actual threats—instead, they believe Boyne is a political prisoner being punished for exposing judicial wrongdoing.

Boyne’s court-appointed lawyers recently filed a motion to reduce his bail, arguing that he is not dangerous and has always complied with court orders. However, Boyne is dissatisfied with their legal strategy, believing they are not aggressive enough in challenging the court’s jurisdiction.

Luthmann raises an important legal issue: How does Connecticut have jurisdiction over Boyne, a Virginia resident, for online speech? The segment underscores how family courts operate as criminal enterprises, silencing critics through intimidation and wrongful imprisonment.

Illegal Alien Wins $6.7 Million in Woke California Lawsuit
One of the most outrageous cases discussed is a $6.7 million lawsuit won by an illegal immigrant in Los Angeles against an animal shelter. The woman, originally a lettuce picker, was fired for stealing supplies, having sex on the job, and selling shelter resources to cartels. Despite this, a judge barred the defense from mentioning her immigration status, criminal activity, or dishonesty—stacking the trial in her favor.

Luthmann blasts the verdict as another example of California’s broken legal system, where activist judges protect criminals while punishing law-abiding citizens. The segment draws comparisons to the Rucki case, where a judge manipulated evidence to control a jury’s verdict.

Judicial Corruption in Rockland County, NY
Luthmann delivers breaking news about Judge Zuckerman, a Rockland County judge who is a named defendant in a federal RICO lawsuit. Despite this, he has refused to recuse himself from cases, raising serious conflict-of-interest concerns. The discussion highlights a growing trend: family court RICO cases are making it to discovery, exposing a network of corrupt judges, attorneys, and guardians who exploit parents and children.

Final Thoughts
Wrapping up the episode, the hosts tease upcoming investigations, including a shocking case in LA County where a man was jailed for violating a restraining order that never existed. The episode closes with reflections on how courts are weaponized against innocent people, the dangers of unchecked immigration policies, and the rise of social media censorship.

As always, The Unknown Podcast delivers an unapologetic, investigative deep dive into corruption, injustice, and political hypocrisy—giving voice to the stories mainstream media ignores.
