Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t just a criminal — he was a gateway into a hidden world of elite power, political influence, and unanswered questions. In this deep-dive episode of Inside American Politics by Skoob, we uncover how Epstein built a global network that connected presidents, billionaires, scientists, royalty, and intelligence figures — and how that network protected him for decades.

From secret financial dealings and elite universities to intelligence rumors, hidden surveillance, and unexplained money flows after his death, this episode breaks down the darker system surrounding Epstein — not speculation, but documented connections and disturbing patterns.

This isn’t just about one man. It’s about how power shields itself, how justice bends, and why the truth still feels unfinished.

Operation CHAOS was one of the most secretive and controversial intelligence programs in American history — a CIA operation that quietly turned its surveillance powers inward. In this episode of Inside American Politics by Skoob, host Bradley Teller uncovers how fear, paranoia, and presidential pressure led the CIA to monitor anti-war protesters, civil rights activists, journalists, and ordinary American citizens during the Vietnam War era.

From secret files and wiretaps to internal resistance inside Langley, this deep dive explores how Operation CHAOS blurred legal boundaries, violated constitutional principles, and ultimately reshaped intelligence oversight in the United States. We break down how the program began, how it expanded under multiple presidents, and how its exposure triggered the Church Committee, intelligence reforms, and lasting distrust in government surveillance.

This is not just history — it’s a warning about power, secrecy, and how easily democracy can be tested from within.

Welcome to Inside American Politics with Bradley Teller. In this episode — The Vatican Files: Power, Politics, and the Pope — we pull back the curtain on one of the most surprising players in modern U.S. public life: the Vatican.

Most Americans think of the Pope as a spiritual leader. But he is also the head of the Holy See — a diplomatic and political actor with unique global reach. We unpack how that reach plays out in American politics: how papal statements shaped the 2016 presidential contests; why Bernie Sanders was invited to lecture at the Vatican; how progressive groups tried to turn the “Francis effect” into votes; and the bigger consequences of Catholic influence on the U.S. Supreme Court and public policy.

Inside this episode:

• The Trinity of Power — why the Pope, the Holy See, and Vatican City are very different institutions and how that difference creates diplomatic leverage.

• The Trump Confrontation — Pope Francis’s public rebukes, the political fallout in 2016, and why behavior meant to curb a candidate sometimes strengthened him.

• The Bernie Vatican Summit — what the Sanders–Francis moment reveals about ideology, moral authority, and presidential politics.

• The Democratic Playbook — how politicians and advocacy groups translate papal remarks into campaign strategy.

• The Catholic Takeover of the Court — why a court with a Catholic supermajority mattered for Dobbs and how Catholic legal networks shaped elite legal culture.

• The Cuba Gambit — a case study in Vatican back-channel diplomacy and how Rome brokered talks Washington couldn’t easily run itself.

• The Francis Doctrine — why Francis’s critique of capitalism, militarism, and borders rattles U.S. elites and shifts global alignments.

• The Future — how Vatican power is changing and what it might mean for American politics ahead.

We end with a look at the modest but real way an ancient religious institution can alter 21st-century statecraft — sometimes quietly, sometimes with headlines. If you’re curious about how faith, law, and diplomacy collide in Washington, this episode is for you.

America didn’t become divided overnight. In this deep dive from Inside American Politics by Skoob, host Bradley Teller unpacks how identity politics, tribal loyalty, and decades of realignment turned the United States into a nation of warring political camps.

From the collapse of the old bipartisan “big tents” to the rise of modern polarization, this episode explores why Americans now see politics as a battle of identity, culture, and survival. We break down how race, religion, class, and national identity reshaped voting blocs, and why both the left and the right are trapped in a cycle of fear, backlash, and escalating extremism.

If you’ve ever wondered why Americans can’t agree on basic facts, why parties no longer overlap, or why every issue turns into an “us vs. them” fight, this episode gives you the clearest explanation yet—emotionally honest, data-driven, and unfiltered.

Tune in for a gripping breakdown of the forces dividing the country—and what it will take for America to find a way forward.

White supremacy didn’t begin with mobs, marches, or modern politics — it began as a global system designed to organize power, wealth, and humanity itself. In this gripping deep dive, we uncover how the Doctrine of Discovery, European colonialism, American settler expansion, and today’s digital extremist networks all fit into one long, hidden story.

We trace this system from the 1400s to the present: how it justified conquest, shaped American laws, fueled segregation, molded global culture, and quietly influenced modern politics and online radicalization. This episode breaks down how white supremacy became an “unnamed system” — one that still impacts our institutions, our media, and our everyday lives.

If you want to understand the forces shaping America and the world, this is the episode you can’t miss.
