Author Jason Jarrell joined guest host Richard Syrettfor a discussion on Native American cosmology, which held the universe was three interconnected realms — the sky world, earth disc, and underworld. Each of the three worlds is inhabited by sentient beings of great power who are both spiritual and physical, he explained. This cosmological model is tens of thousands of years old, and reflected in the symbolism and earthworks of the ancient mound building cultures, Jarrell noted. "It must go back to the original founding population of North America to be so widespread," he suggested.

The underworld was a watery abyss ruled by a great horned serpent and inhabited by a race of serpent-like beings and other waterborne creatures, which could move between the underworld and earth disc via rivers, springs, and lakes, Jarrell continued. He connected reports of encounters with water creatures to these beings. "It would be a mistake to define these beings as mere myths or symbols," Jarrell said, noting these and other underworld creatures are regarded in cosmology as other-than-human intelligences who interact with mankind. The thunderbirds of the sky world were thought to protect humanity from the great serpents, he added.

"[Giants] were a recurring element in the general prehistoric population of North America that goes back to the original founding groups who entered the continent from Eurasia at least 20,000 years ago," he disclosed. According to Jarrell, people with this unique physicality were part of the base population and existed among Native American tribes into the historic period. Mounds of the Adena and Hopewell in the Ohio Valley contain more large skeletons than any other ancient burial sites in the world, Jarrell revealed.

During Open Lines, Michael in Greensboro, North Carolina, presented his theory about babies born in the 1970s (among which he counts himself) exhibiting different traits than babies born in other decades. According to Michael, children of the 70s, share the numerological root "7" which vibrates to the planet Neptune, an octave of Venus. "Anyone born in the 1970s has a strong Venus influences," he suggested, noting this makes his generation's constituents artistic, creative, spiritual, compassionate, flexible, open-minded, yearning to travel.

Danny from California reported on his involvement with a biological neural network involving people whose brains have received biochip implants. According to Danny, he signed an contract during his high school ROTC service which authorized the military to use any technology on his person. He read his manifesto of suggested policy the United States adopt regarding chip implantation and individual rights. Chris in Austin, Texas, talked about the book of Revelation, chapter 18, which speaks of the fall of Babylon. Chris believes Babylon is a reference to America, and the End Times are now upon us. He estimated we may only have a few years left before the end of everything.

Isaac Arthur is a science communication specialist and futurist. He is best known as producer of his YouTube channel, Science & Futurism With Isaac Arthur, with over 300,000 subscribers and nearly 200 episodes. He joined guest host Jimmy Church (Twitter) to discuss issues surrounding space travel and other life in the universe. Arthur said he "grew up on science fiction and science" and continued his interest into adulthood. He said that, as the Earth’s population grows, we will need to build structures in space to house more people, which could be "bigger than things on earth to bigger than solar systems." A technology that could create structures in space would be able to replicate as a swarm of billions of smaller pieces, which could essentially build planet-sized habitations.

Although Arthur said that we should be able to extend the life of the sun with current physics, the concept of moving from one planet to another (called "panspermia") would be an option to consider, and that it may be how life ended up on Earth from elsewhere. There are new planets being discovered daily, and at this rate, Arthur predicted that there are possibly "planets around every star," but only a small fraction would be habitable, at least with life as we know it. He also pointed out that the odds against physics and chemistry in our universe working as they do are "staggering," but that this could be due to anything from some sort religious explanation to simply an "example where we won the lottery."

In the second hour, Arthur discussed light-speed space travel, and the strange effects and paradoxes that would occur were we able to approach this velocity. Since faster-than-light travel would "violate the laws of causality," Arthur considered the issues of near-light-speed space exploration. He noted that "When you get to the speed of light, time would stop" and the traveler would get where they were going instantly, from their perspective, although this would only apply at the speed of light, not during periods of acceleration and deceleration, which Arthur said would take about a year each to accomplish. Any particles at that speed would be "worse than a nuclear bomb going off," which would require some sort of shield to absorb the impact.

Arthur also discussed the possibilities of and issues with teleportation of humans. He conceived the idea as a transfer of data from one point to another. Since a full teleportation of an entire body would be "a very high bandwidth data that would take millions of years," Arthur suggested that only the important parts of (such as the brain) would need to be 100% accurate, and that others could be compressed and extrapolated from incomplete data much as an incomplete message is reconstituted from known words into a coherent form. Arthur also discussed the possibility of "generational ships" which would travel though space for so long that multiple generations would be born and die during the trip.

Regarded as one of the country’s premiere experts in IRS procedures, Daniel J. Pilla has helped thousands solve intractable tax issues. In the first hour, he discussed new privacy-invasive software that the IRS has contracted with Palantir for that will allow the agency to assimilate and analyze massive amounts of data on individual citizens. The data sets include not only tax and finance filings, but social media postings, emails, phone records, plus banking and credit card data, he cited, adding that their goal is to leverage the information to decide on who to audit. Pilla suggested that the US has not moved toward a simpler tax system like FairTax because Congress likes to pick economic winners and losers in the marketplace, giving favorable tax considerations to select businesses or activities.

During the middle two hours, researcher and author Marilynn Hughes detailed her numerous out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and what they have taught her over the years, including insights on ghosts, karma, ETs, and the afterlife. One's vibrational state determines how the mystical realm is experienced, she explained, and when a person goes out-of-body their vibration is raised up from their normal material state. The real purpose of OBEs is for the purification and evolution of the soul, she said. This mystical state, she continued, helps us understand the things in our life we need to accomplish or overcome, as well as creates opportunities to commune with guardian angels and extraterrestrial alliances.

During an OBE, she recommended people discipline their consciousness because excitement or fear can send a person back into their body before they can fully experience the spiritual realm. Hughes talked about her work helping forlorn spirits or ghosts, who can become stuck in a circular pattern, reliving or replaying moments from their lives, and need guidance or encouragement to move on. The fourth realm or astral plane has a similar variety of good and evil elements we see in the physical world, she noted, so generally out-of-body travelers want to bypass that for the more beneficent higher spheres.
