    Bennett dismisses Harding's dangerous suggestion, yet can't shake the unsettling way it echoes his streaming show's plot. When Pantheon Plus launches a provocative marketing campaign with billboards declaring "AMERICA NEEDS A COURSE CORRECTION," the line between Bennett's fictional character and real-life persona grows dangerously thin. As "The Insurgent" dominates social media and political discussion, Harding persists, inviting Bennett to a secretive meeting with mysterious associates.

    Meanwhile, Garrett Fisher's "Insurgent Theory" podcast dissects the viral phenomenon, noting disturbing parallels to real politics. Just as Bennett struggles to maintain control of his public image, a Secret Service agent appears at his door with warnings about extremists who believe his show contains coded messages—leaving him caught between government suspicion and a conspiracy he never agreed to join.
