Jon Herold returns with a sharp breakdown of Trump’s expanding offensive, economically, politically, and strategically. He opens with a fiery defense of Trump’s tariffs and a takedown of Rand Paul’s “free market” arguments, exposing the moral rot behind globalist trade and the exploitation of slave labor. Joined by Ghost, the duo unpacks escalating tensions in the Middle East, highlighting Israel’s push for the David Corridor and Trump’s quiet alliance-building with Turkey and Russia to block a war with Iran.

On the home front, Jon covers Trump’s latest executive orders targeting Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor, the resurfacing of the Crossfire Hurricane documents, and the passage of the SAVE Act, aimed at securing federal elections. He also dives into whistleblower claims against Zuckerberg, China’s economic counterpunches, and the swamp’s meltdown over deregulation and water pressure. As always, Jon delivers clarity, receipts, and the kind of TL;DR commentary the moment demands.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior unpack a massive day of moves from the Trump administration, starting with three executive actions targeting censorship kingpins Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor. As security clearances are revoked and DOJ investigations launched, the hosts connect the dots between election interference, CCP-linked institutions, and a broader plan to dismantle the regime’s narrative machine.

They shift to Panama, where Trump secures U.S. military priority in the canal, effectively undercutting Chinese influence in one of the world’s most strategic trade routes. With insight into CCP infrastructure and global logistics, Alpha lays out how Trump is boxing in adversaries abroad while restoring economic power at home. The conversation rounds out with a breakdown of the 125% China tariff, why the markets are flipping out, and how this is all part of a much bigger, and deliberate...reset.

Brad Zerbo takes the mic solo for a packed and punchy WWG1WGA After Dark, breaking down the "Panican" meltdown in the markets and how Trump’s global tariff playbook just exposed Wall Street, China, and the political class all at once. Brad explains the bounce-back in the markets following the historic 125% tariff hike on China, and why it wasn’t a crash, but a controlled economic flex.

Using real-time data and a simplified breakdown of reciprocal tariff formulas and Laffer curves, Brad walks viewers through how these moves are designed not just to rebalance trade, but to bring manufacturing and jobs back to America. He connects the dots from Trump’s tariff deployment to long-overdue incentives for companies like Apple and Ford to go Made in America again. And with big box stores like Walmart and Target begging Chinese suppliers to eat the costs, Brad argues we may be witnessing the collapse of the planned obsolescence model, and a revival of American-built quality.

The show also hits cultural decay hard, taking aim at collapsing woke media like Michelle Obama’s floundering podcast and Disney’s Snow White disaster. Brad offers a no-filter reminder that the American public is done with corporate narratives, political theater, and cheap globalist garbage...on every level.

Sharp, educational, and full of signature wit, this episode of WWG1WGA After Dark is a masterclass in economic awakening, narrative inversion, and why the comeback isn’t just coming...it’s already here.

In this heavyweight edition of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright break down the multi-layered global chessboard unfolding around Donald Trump’s aggressive new tariffs, and the cascading geopolitical, economic, and narrative consequences they’re triggering.

The duo dives deep into Trump’s 125% tariff strike against China, unpacking how this move is not just about trade, but about forcing a global realignment. They reveal how over 75 nations are now rushing to the table to strike “bespoke” trade deals, effectively isolating China and trapping it in an economic pincer movement. Scott Bessent’s economic strategy and the public narrative around “surrounding China” is dissected with precision, as Herold and Bright explore whether this is a true trade war, or a coordinated decoupling effort with Xi himself.

From bond market anomalies and treasury yield chaos to Main Street vs. Wall Street dynamics, the hosts propose that Trump may be gaming the Federal Reserve into lowering interest rates, using tariff pressure, asset repositioning, and even China’s own moves against it. They also question whether all these global deals have already been made behind the scenes...and we’re just watching the theatrical rollout.

In the second half, they shift focus to the CNN article on Trump’s dismantling of Obama-era election infrastructure. With CISA gutted, DHS funding pulled, and election security networks disbanded, they argue that Trump is not just “fortifying” 2024, he’s surgically removing the entire rigged narrative scaffolding erected since 2016. They bring receipts from Trump’s executive order, comment on Chris Krebs’ nervous media appearances, and explore why the media is warning of chaos in 2025.

With humor, clarity, and a whole lot of receipts, this episode exposes the quiet demolition of the old regime and asks the question no one else is asking: what if it’s all going exactly to plan?

Brad Zerbo and Zak “RedPill78” Paine return for another wild ride through the week’s cultural and geopolitical chaos, serving up equal parts fire, fun, and unfiltered reality checks. Kicking off with the media’s financial fear porn over Trump’s tariffs, the duo dismantles the narrative around 401k freakouts, explain why temporary market dips are strategic, not catastrophic, and blast the short-sightedness of panicked influencers playing into regime psyops.

They also go deep on the societal rot surfacing in schools, discussing the disturbing rise in predatory teacher cases, the collapse of moral standards in public education, and the funding incentives that may be enabling abuse. From the UN’s third-world equalization agenda to U.S. tax dollars funding gender surgeries abroad, Brad and Zak call out the corrupt system that’s abandoned the American people, while forcing them to pay the tab.

Plus, a hilarious Norm Macdonald tribute, rants about Gematria rabbit holes, gas tax insanity, and why the Great American Restoration is more than a movement...it’s a revival. Raw, real, and rolling deep in the fourth turning, this is Altered State at full throttle.

In this richly layered episode of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump takes listeners on an unexpected but eye-opening journey through Victorian art, elite ideology, and the philosophical roots of what would become the modern deep state. Beginning with the spiritual rebellion of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, painters who rejected academic art in favor of moral, mythic, and nature-infused themes, Matt follows the ripple effect their work had on cultural critics like John Ruskin, who laid the intellectual groundwork for a radical reimagining of economics, society, and power.

From Ruskin’s moral vision of wealth to the impassioned social reformism of young Oxford lecturer Arnold Toynbee, this episode traces how aesthetic and ethical movements morphed into a concrete conspiracy of influence. Matt unpacks how Toynbee's idealistic student Alfred Milner went on to help found the Rhodes-Milner Round Table, later forming the backbone of the Anglo-American Establishment, including the Council on Foreign Relations and Chatham House. It's a blueprint for elite control that began not in boardrooms, but in classrooms, galleries, and idealistic discussions about beauty and justice.

With vivid historical anecdotes, philosophical depth, and trademark humor, Matt shows how the same formula repeated a century later with 1960s progressivism and the rise of the American security state. This episode is a masterclass in how culture builds empires, and why understanding art might be the first step in dismantling the system that governs us now.

Matt Ehret and Ghost deliver a sweeping, cerebral episode of Breaking History that traverses the terrain of ancient philosophy, spiritual warfare, and modern geopolitics, all through the lens of history’s repeating patterns. Beginning with a candid discussion about grassroots sovereignty and the spiritual energy behind the Great American Restoration Tour, the hosts explore how authentic citizen movements are essential to reclaiming a corrupted nation, just as they were in ancient Greece and early America.

From Confucius and Socrates to George Washington and Donald Trump, they highlight the timeless battle between oligarchic control and moral leadership, digging deep into suppressed classical wisdom that still shapes today’s struggles. The conversation dives into the roots of empire, from Merovingian myths and Gnostic elitism to the modern priesthood of global governance and the soft tyranny of unthinking "unity."

Matt then pivots to break major news from his recent travels in Thailand, revealing how the long-dormant Kra Canal project is being revived as a keystone of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, and why Western sabotage can’t stop its momentum. The duo connects the dots between global infrastructure, tariffs, and the unraveling legacy of Milton Friedman’s "free market" dogma, exposing how America’s decline was engineered through cheap goods, offshoring, and debt enslavement.

This episode is a masterclass in historical pattern recognition, economic sovereignty, and the sacred responsibility of self-governance. It’s not just a conversation...it’s a call to reawaken the philosopher king within.

Jon Herold tackles the rapidly unfolding global trade war and financial shakeups in a packed Wednesday edition of The Daily Herold. With Trump’s 104% tariffs on Chinese goods now in effect, China retaliates with 84% tariffs of its own. Jon breaks down the global fallout, from Kevin O'Leary's call for 400% tariffs to Scott Bessent’s insight on China’s economic vulnerability, and explains how Trump is using U.S. leverage to force other nations to pressure China economically.

The episode also explores the strange behavior in U.S. bond markets, rising interest rates despite recession fears, and whether foreign governments are dumping treasuries in retaliation. Jon questions whether this is a coordinated economic war, and what Trump's endgame might be.

He also digs into the shocking data on illegal immigrants receiving Social Security numbers, Medicaid, and even casting votes in U.S. elections. Meanwhile, Tim Pool drops a bombshell about his off-the-record meeting with Netanyahu, revealing the Israeli PM’s quiet push to influence American podcasters.

Jon roasts Kristi Noem for staging a raid for social media clout, calls out the collapse of CISA’s election influence apparatus, and reviews Trump’s newest deregulation blitz, targeting energy, coal, and state overreach. A federal judge rules the AP’s exclusion from White House events violated the First Amendment, and the IRS continues its leadership exodus amid scandals over illegal data sharing with DHS.

All this while Trump’s executive orders stack up and his agenda is only beginning to take shape. With economic brinkmanship, constitutional conflict, and narrative warfare all in motion, Jon Herold makes one thing clear: we’re deep in the storm, and just getting started.

CannCon and Ghost team up for a powerhouse edition of Badlands Daily, exposing the Biden regime’s cover-up of the earliest known COVID cases among U.S. soldiers in Wuhan, months before China "officially" sounded the alarm. The duo lays out how this military-based viral release may have been the real origin story of the pandemic, finally confirming long-held suspicions the media and tech platforms worked overtime to suppress.

They then pivot to Trump’s global trade blitz: a 104% tariff against China triggers retaliation from Beijing, sparking a conversation on economic warfare, decoupling from Chinese supply chains, and the bigger play for national and global sovereignty. Ghost breaks down the Panama Canal crisis, China's influence over foreign ports, and the mysterious silence surrounding Mexico’s newly operational canal project.

From SCOTUS smacking down D.C. judge overreach to President Trump’s trillion-dollar defense budget, the show weaves through weaponized NGOs, media manipulation, constitutional lawfare, and Iran peace backchannels, with Ghost spotlighting Steve Witkoff's quiet diplomacy tour through the Middle East.

They wrap with fiery commentary on censorship, globalist psychological warfare, and the spiritual battle for America's future. Packed with facts, fire, and faith, this is Badlands Daily at its most potent.
