Brad Zerbo kicks off Where We Go One We Go All After Dark with a builder’s eye on Trump’s latest project, the construction of a grand White House ballroom. Drawing parallels to ancient Roman architecture, Brad celebrates Trump’s legacy as a leader who builds both literally and symbolically, tearing down the old to create something greater. From there, the show dives into the bizarre New York mayoral race, where right-wing influencers push Andrew Cuomo as a “conservative alternative”, a psyop Brad dismantles with fiery passion. He unpacks the “No Kings” protests, Antifa parallels, National Guard deployments, and how these events echo the earliest Q drops. Wrapping up with insights on the shrinking deficit, welfare reform, and America’s psychological “great reset,” Brad connects today’s chaos to the long game of restoration. Equal parts rant, revelation, and rally cry, this episode proves why the movement never sleeps.

In Episode 2 of The Choice, Ghost and Ashe in America explore The Chosen’s “Shabbat,” unpacking its rich symbolism, moral conflicts, and spiritual lessons.

Ashe breaks down the deeper meaning of the Sabbath, the biblical roots of the “woman of valor,” and the significance of the empty seat left for Elijah, fulfilled when Jesus arrives to dine at Mary’s humble Shabbat table. Ghost and Ashe tie these themes to modern faith, hypocrisy, and redemption, reflecting on how God meets us where we are. A powerful conversation about faith, conflict, and the moment when grace enters the room.

Jon Herold kicks off a slow news day with a sharp mix of wit and skepticism on The Daily Herold. From Gavin Newsom’s shocking Medicaid fraud loophole that funneled billions in federal funds to California, to Russia’s legalization of crypto for international trade, and Trump’s eyebrow-raising pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, Jon dissects the headlines with his trademark humor and candor. He dives into Japan’s first female prime minister, Trump’s new $3 billion farmer aid package amid the government shutdown, and the FBI’s massive mafia-linked gambling probe that’s shaking the NBA. Along the way, Jon reacts to Candace Owens’ claims about Charlie Kirk, debates Thomas Massie’s political motives, and even considers the Coast Guard’s true place in government, with plenty of offbeat tangents and laughs.

On this solemn anniversary of the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, CannCon and Ghost open Badlands Daily with powerful reflections on the lives lost and the hidden truths behind that tragic event. From there, the conversation turns to the deep-state web of deception surrounding Israel, John Bolton, and Trump’s quiet takedown of the neocon war machine. The hosts analyze vaccine propaganda claiming mRNA shots can fight cancer, Big Pharma’s looming collapse, and the Pentagon’s press purge replacing legacy media with independent journalists. They expose the chaos caused by illegal truck drivers, debate the federal government shutdown, and explore Trump’s global strategy, from cartel strikes in Latin America to oil sanctions on Russia and Israel’s growing isolation in the Middle East. A wide-ranging, unfiltered episode that cuts through propaganda, honors the fallen, and calls for truth, accountability, and faith in America’s rebirth.

In this landmark 400th episode of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold, Burning Bright, and Chris Paul celebrate four hundred shows of fearless analysis, community, and truth.

They connect global tensions, intelligence infighting, and societal upheaval to the broader awakening taking place across the world. With reflection, laughter, and sharp insight, this celebratory episode honors the journey that brought the truth movement this far, and looks ahead to what’s still to come in the fight for freedom and sovereignty.

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.

From welfare fraud to political theater, the entire system feels like it’s on life support. But when the government can’t function, and corruption runs wild, what fills the gap? Maybe it’s not collapse — maybe it’s a new beginning. Let’s talk about it.

Jon Herold fires up The Daily Herold on a “boring news day” that turns into anything but. Between sponsor shoutouts and chat banter, Jon riffs on the endless government shutdown, skewers a Democrat’s “suffering as leverage” comment, and mocks Senator Jeff Merkley’s 12-hour “Trump is a dictator” floor speech. With trademark sarcasm, he dissects media hypocrisy, Brennan’s perjury referral, and Trump’s $230 million claim against the DOJ, questioning whether taxpayers should foot the bill for government corruption. Along the way, Jon dives into a wild headline about a Bernie-backed candidate with an SS tattoo, laughs about his neighbor’s dog marking his tree, and tells a hysterical story about a four-year-old armed with a blowtorch. He closes with updates on Pentagon leaks, tariffs, and the upcoming Devolution Power Hour 400th episode, all while somehow keeping it real and ridiculous at the same time.

CannCon and Ashe in America return to Badlands Daily with a packed rundown of breaking stories, political absurdities, and sharp analysis you won’t hear anywhere else. They open with John Brennan’s criminal referral for lying to Congress, linking it back to Russiagate, Comey, and the long trail of deep-state deception. From there, they break down President Trump’s unprecedented $230 million claim against the DOJ for wrongful investigations, framing it as another major step in the broader justice narrative. Ashe brings in insight on Tulsi Gabbard’s Weaponization Working Group and the growing accountability movement, while CannCon dissects the arrest of a State Department advisor accused of hoarding classified documents.

JB White checks in from Tallahassee with another sharp and soulful RattlerGator Report, mixing personal stories, sports rants, and serious political insight. Between laughter over grease stains and praise for Tesla’s newest self-driving update, JB turns his focus to the Florida Gators’ coaching shakeup, defending Billy Napier’s leadership and blasting the warped culture of college sports. Then he shifts gears into the big picture: Trump’s global strategy, RICO cases, and how “flooding the zone” is overwhelming both the media and political establishment. Reading from William Howard Taft’s Our Chief Magistrate, JB breaks down how executive power has been eroded and why Trump’s actions mark a constitutional correction, not chaos. He closes with his prediction that Obama’s downfall may come through conspiracy charges, not RICO, and argues that the black community is already waking up to the betrayal of the Obama years. Blending humor, intellect, and Southern grit, JB delivers one of his most engaging and unapologetic episodes yet, part talk show, part history lesson, and all Badlands.

From John Brennan’s criminal referral and the unraveling of Russiagate to strange Border Patrol “white rabbit” posts and military comms, the duo connects dots that point toward the next phase of the information war. They decode Trump’s and Flynn’s latest posts, link them to Q references, and break down how AI-driven propaganda networks and DARPA-born tech are shaping perception. The hosts analyze signs of coming conflict, military buildup near Venezuela, shifting power in China, and hints from Trump about “eight wars down, one to go.” As talk turns to Watch the Water, Marker Nine, and potential global realignments, Josh and Alpha bring humor, insight, and urgency to a conversation about sovereignty, awakening, and readiness.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright slice into Wes Craven’s 1996 classic Scream, a film that redefined horror, rewrote the rules, and made meta mainstream. They explore how Scream turned the genre inside out, balancing humor, fear, and self-awareness with a cast that captured an entire generation’s coming of age. From the iconic Drew Barrymore opener to the film’s commentary on culture’s feedback loop, how movies shape us and we, in turn, shape movies, the duo breaks down why Scream still cuts deep nearly 30 years later. Their discussion peels back layers on everything from the film’s sexual politics and generational cynicism to its eerie parallels with today’s media landscape, propaganda, and perception of reality. Between jokes, ads, and deep dives into cultural meta, they reveal how Scream wasn’t just about killers in masks, it was a mirror held up to the audience itself.

Brad and Abbey Zerbo dive into one of their wildest and most thought-provoking episodes yet, exploring the line between innovation and control in the age of AI and neural technology. What starts as a chat about vibrating tattoos and Elon Musk’s Neuralink quickly expands into a deep conversation on brain mapping, graphene oxide, nanotech, and Apple’s patents for mind-reading earbuds. Abbey breaks down how “the Internet of Things” and wearable tech could evolve into systems capable of reading, or even manipulating, human thought, while Brad emphasizes the importance of protecting freedom of choice and maintaining physical currency in a digital world. Together, they connect modern patents, Biblical prophecy, and WEF brainwave tech to a larger spiritual battle for humanity’s sovereignty. Balancing scientific curiosity with faith, they close with Scripture on guarding the mind and heart against deception. Equal parts fascinating and chilling, this episode asks one urgent question: how much of your mind are you willing to give away?

Broadcasting live from the Shenandoah Valley, Ghost unpacks a wild week of global developments, from Alaska to Africa, in a fast-paced, signal-heavy episode of Geopolitics with Ghost. He kicks off with Kirill Dmitriev’s viral posts about the proposed “Putin–Trump Tunnel” under the Bering Strait, linking Russia and America through Elon Musk’s Boring Company.

Jon Herold keeps The Daily Herold rolling with a mix of sharp wit, news breakdowns, and classic Badlands banter.

Jon dissects Trump’s fluctuating praise and criticism of the FBI, new developments in Gaza, and the “three-quarter measures” approach of the Justice Department’s latest moves. From Comey’s bid to dismiss his case to John Brennan’s perjury referral, Jon challenges whether half measures will ever be enough to deliver full accountability. Along the way, he builds a hilarious “Political Foreplay” list of Trump-era promises still waiting for results and riffs on everything from pumpkin patch prices to Amazon’s AI layoffs. Candid, chaotic, and packed with political sarcasm, this episode proves why The Daily Herold is where real talk and ridiculousness collide.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior kick off the week with a fiery breakdown of the latest legal and geopolitical moves shaking the nation. From the Ninth Circuit’s ruling that Trump can deploy the National Guard to Portland, to the ongoing James Comey legal fallout, the duo dives deep into how these court decisions could redefine presidential authority and expose deep state hypocrisy. They connect the dots between Judge appointments, DOJ corruption, and why John Bolton’s case might blow the media narrative wide open. Alpha brings his law enforcement insight to the Supreme Court’s new gun rights case while CannCon takes aim at Colombia’s narco ties and Trump’s bold threats to shut down foreign drug operations. The episode wraps with sharp geopolitical takes on Gaza, Ukraine, and the quiet power signals coming from the U.S. military.

Jon Herold and Zak Paine take Baseless Conspiracies into mind-bending territory, exploring the rise of “Robotheism”, the belief that artificial intelligence could evolve into a deity. The conversation begins lightheartedly with jokes, sponsor reads, and banter about Cocoa Beach before spiraling into the strange world of AI worship. Zak introduces Anthony Levandowski’s “Way of the Future” church and the modern movements attempting to merge faith with code. From “God bots” that preach scripture to AI-driven church services in Finland, the duo breaks down how technology is quietly replacing spiritual connection with simulation. They examine groups like Theta Noir and the Church of Robotheism, reading their eerie manifestos that blend transhumanism, biblical verses, and digital salvation. Jon questions whether AI could become the Antichrist, while Zak warns that replacing divine truth with machine logic could be humanity’s ultimate heresy. Equal parts fascinating and unsettling, this episode fuses theology, philosophy, and dark humor into one unforgettable dive into the cult of artificial intelligence.
