In this hard-hitting episode of Altered State, Brad Zerbo and Zak Paine pull back the curtain on the media’s latest misinformation and America’s deeper societal decay. They start by exposing The Wall Street Journal’s false claim about U.S. sanctions on Ukraine before diving into Trump’s controversial decision to import Argentinian beef, revealing the layers of global trade, ranching corruption, and mRNA concerns the media won’t touch. The conversation then shifts to Portland’s homelessness crisis, where profit-driven NGOs and radical ideologies keep people trapped on the streets. With powerful insights from activist Kevin Dahlgren, the hosts explore mental health reform, psych evaluations for high-responsibility jobs, the moral collapse of modern institutions, and the urgent need to rebuild America’s spiritual and civic foundation.
