The Unknown Podcast – Episode 41: Hosts: Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe, June 4, 2025

Episode 41 of The Unknown Podcast dives headfirst into explosive debates, judicial scandals, national security concerns, and media manipulation. Co-hosts Richard Luthmann and Michael Volpe bring their signature no-holds-barred style to current events like Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” Ukraine’s drone strikes, the Diddy RICO case, family court corruption, and YouTube censorship conspiracies involving Jeremy Hales and Danesh Noshirvan.

THE “BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL” AND ELON’S ECONOMIC ANGST
The show opens with a heated exchange over Trump’s legislative centerpiece. Dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill,” it promises tax cuts and economic stimulation, but Elon Musk isn’t buying the hype. Luthmann explains Musk’s concern: the bill is bloated with pork and carve-outs that benefit political allies, not the nation. Michael Volpe rails against Trump’s unchecked spending, warning that it mirrors the fiscal recklessness of a mismanaged corporation. Despite campaign promises of discipline, Volpe sees the bill as a signal that Trump’s second term may be even more fiscally irresponsible than his first.

WORLD WAR III? ZELENSKY’S DRONES AND MAGA MELTDOWNS
Next, they turn to Ukraine’s drone strike operation against Russian forces—something Luthmann credits to US-backed assets embedded in the Ukrainian military. Volpe pushes back hard, calling out MAGA-aligned figures like Mike Flynn for demanding that Ukraine clear military actions with Trump. Luthmann defends the deep-state argument and the idea that US foreign policy is still tethered to unofficial power structures. The hosts clash over whether Ukraine’s actions risk triggering World War III or merely represent strategic resistance. Flynn becomes a lightning rod in their argument, with Volpe branding him a “moron wrapped in an idiot.”

THE DIDDY CASE: CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE OR BAD BOY ANTICS?
They dissect the Diddy RICO trial, which now includes charges of sex trafficking and prostitution. Volpe says prosecutors may have Diddy on soliciting prostitutes but remain weak on proving sex trafficking or a criminal enterprise. Luthmann contends that returning the alleged $20,000 extortion payment undermines the “specific intent” necessary for a federal extortion charge. They both agree: without a defined enterprise like in the Mafia or NXIVM cases, the RICO claims may fail. “Diddy is a thug, not a don,” Luthmann insists.

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP BATTLE
Volpe defends the 14th Amendment’s birthright citizenship clause, reading it verbatim and challenging Trump’s assertion that children born to illegal immigrants aren’t citizens. Luthmann points to the “subject to the jurisdiction” clause, arguing that the original intent of the 14th Amendment was narrow and did not include illegal aliens. He distinguishes between people physically present and those under full political jurisdiction. The debate gets fiery but illustrates how foundational constitutional questions remain up for interpretation.

THE “WHAT THE HALES” SEGMENT: THREATS, HOAXES, AND LAWSUITS
Volpe details threats from Jeremy Hales, who weaponized doctored texts allegedly from Volpe’s ex-girlfriend. Volpe debunks the texts as fake and shows how law enforcement dismissed past charges. Then comes the viral hoax: a photoshopped image of Joey Camp being arrested by "Interpol agents" wearing fake hats. Luthmann laughs it off, suggesting Danesh Noshirvan and Hales orchestrated the stunt to intimidate their enemies. “Interpol doesn’t arrest people,” he reminds listeners.

THE HUGHES DEFENSE: DEBUNKING A SLAPP SUIT
They review Marlo Hughes’ motion to dismiss Jeremy Hales’ federal lawsuit, praising her pro se argument for dismantling the claims of defamation, tortious interference, and false advertising. Hughes argues the statements were opinion, not fact—protected by the First Amendment. Luthmann explains how the complaint fails under the federal pleading standards of Iqbal and Twombly. “It’s not even plausible,” he says, noting the claim is a classic SLAPP—strategic litigation against public participation.

THE DINESH CONNECTION: CANCEL CULTURE COLLISION
Volpe and Luthmann expose the uneasy alliance between Jeremy Hales and influencer Danesh Noshirvan. Luthmann claims both falsely stated he was served court papers. They bonded briefly over mutual animosity toward Luthmann but later distanced themselves. Luthmann drops bombshells about Noshirvan’s alleged unfiled 2257 model releases on OnlyFans and speculates about federal criminal exposure. Meanwhile, Hales faces backlash for posting hate-filled videos while playing victim to online harassment.

GEORGIA’S STAR CHAMBER: MAUREEN MEADOWS EXPOSES ATTORNEY DISCIPLINE
The podcast shifts focus to family court whistleblower Maureen Meadows, a Georgia attorney-turned-reformer. She describes a system where solo and minority attorneys are disproportionately targeted by disciplinary boards while big firm lawyers enjoy immunity. Volpe agrees, citing similar patterns nationwide. They also spotlight guardian ad litem immunity, calling it a major due process loophole that enables abuse.

BAD FAMILY COURT BILLS: ARIZONA, IDAHO, AND THREE STRIKES
Arizona Senator Mark Finchem comes under scrutiny. While Luthmann praises his efforts, Volpe slams his recent bill as toothless, and says Finchem has yet to pass anything impactful. They also criticize Robert Garza’s “Three Strikes” custodial interference bill, saying it will backfire by punishing protective parents like Julie Velez. Luthmann draws a parallel to coercive control laws misused by abusers like Christopher Ambrose in Connecticut.

THE AMBROSE LAWSUIT AGAINST DR. BANDY LEE
Luthmann reveals Ambrose has now sued Dr. Bandy X. Lee in federal court in Connecticut, extending his pattern of legal retaliation. Luthmann promises detailed reporting on the case and calls Ambrose “one of the worst abusers in family court history.” Volpe confirms that abusive litigants like Ambrose use laws like coercive control to turn the tables on protective mothers.

CONCLUSION
Episode 41 packs legal fireworks, national controversy, and cultural critique into a relentless, truth-telling hour. Luthmann and Volpe rip apart media hypocrisy, expose deep-state manipulations, and defend the silenced. Whether tackling Trump’s fiscal policies, fake Interpol arrests, or judicial rackets in Georgia, The Unknown Podcast remains a frontline voice for the unheard.
