America… explain yourself.
True, jaw-dropping American stories in about 60 seconds. Funny, a little outrageous, never left or right, and every single claim sourced.
The Government's Psychic Spies
For 23 years, the U.S. government paid psychics to spy on the Soviets… with their minds.
The Reel is the 60-second version. The full story, the timeline, the declassified documents and what other people are saying about it are one tap away.
What is this?
Crazy USA Facts tells the true stories America forgot to mention: the psychics on the payroll, the $435 hammer, the plans that sound made up but are sitting in public records. Our eagle host reacts so you don't have to. Then we show our work.

Watching isn't enough.
Every episode ends the same way: “What?! This is ridiculous.” Good. That's the point. The next thought is “we've got to keep an eye on what our government is doing.” And the next step is yours. Through America House, you can actually do something about it, whoever you vote for.
