In this sweeping episode of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright dig into the geopolitical and narrative shifts defining Trump’s second term. They begin with Trump’s masterful Saudi Arabia speech, interpreting it as both a strategic declaration and a roadmap for global realignment. The hosts explore the rise of the “sovereign alliance”, a growing bloc of nationalist-led nations turning away from the globalist order, and unpack Iran’s surprising offer to sign a nuclear agreement if the U.S. ditches Netanyahu’s influence.

They dissect the quiet trade deal with China, revealing how Trump and Xi secretly negotiated economic rebalancing while maintaining the illusion of public hostility, trapping both the media and the Fed in their own lies. They argue Trump is staging a peaceful, constitutional hostile takeover, aligning with founding principles to dismantle a captured U.S. government without firing a shot.

From the restructuring of the National Security Council and the fading relevance of Congress, to the narrative inversion of historical allies and enemies, Herold and Bright make the case that we’ve entered a new phase of the info war: the Sovereign Siege. It’s tactical, psychological, and unstoppable, and they’re calling the shots as it unfolds.
