Brad and Abbey Live Ep. 155: Brennan Perjury Brings FISA-Gate to the Forefront

In this detailed episode, Brad Zerbo and Abbey Blue Eyes dig into the newly declassified CIA review that exposes how John Brennan, James Clapper, and James Comey manipulated intelligence to push the Russia collusion narrative. They walk through former CIA Director John Ratcliffe’s findings, which show Brennan insisted on including the discredited Steele dossier in the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment despite clear objections from senior CIA analysts. The show explores how this flawed process laid the foundation for the FISA warrants and years of investigations targeting Trump and his team. Brad and Abbey highlight the timing of the revelations alongside fresh reports that the FBI has launched criminal investigations into Brennan and Comey, possibly for perjury.
They also feature clips from General Flynn demanding accountability, discuss the media’s coordinated distractions, and connect the dots to broader efforts to undermine Trump’s presidency. The episode wraps with reflections on how these tactics mirror today’s psyops and a call for transparency and consequences for those who weaponized government power against political opponents.

Badlands Book Club Ep. 16: Overruled by Justice Neil Gorsuch & Janie Nitze – Chapter 5

In this episode, Ashe in America and CannCon continue their deep dive into Overruled, focusing exclusively on Chapter 5, “The Forgotten Americans.” The reading unpacks how America’s sprawling regulatory state punishes the poor, religious minorities, and small businesses while favoring entrenched corporate interests. Listeners hear the story of Amish families in Minnesota forced into years of litigation over septic system mandates that violated their faith, and the monks of St. Joseph Abbey, who battled Louisiana regulators just to sell handmade caskets. The discussion draws striking parallels to today’s economic landscape, where overregulation crushes small farmers and fishermen, fueling consolidation and dependency.
Ashe and CannCon reflect on James Madison’s warnings about endless laws eroding liberty and fairness, and explore how COVID-19 policies accelerated these dynamics, destroying thousands of small businesses while enriching mega-corporations. They close by brainstorming the next book selection and encouraging the audience to suggest titles, all while sharing plenty of banter about the absurdities of modern compliance culture and the unintended consequences of bureaucratic control.

Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 21: Epstein Optics, Netanyahu’s Leverage, and the Middle East Chessboard – July 8, 2025

In this marathon episode, Ghost unpacks the tangled narratives around Epstein’s disappearance from the headlines. He traces the saga back to Robert Maxwell, laying out how British intelligence created Maxwell’s empire to spy on the Soviets, then explores how Epstein and Ghislaine may have replicated that template as Mossad assets running a state-sponsored blackmail operation. Ghost plays fresh clips of Trump and Pam Bondi, dissecting their dismissive responses to Epstein questions and arguing this could be deliberate narrative bait to lull the real power brokers into complacency.
The show then pivots to Netanyahu’s White House visit, analyzing how Trump’s public deference masks a deeper strategy of leverage. Ghost details the factions vying for power in Israel, Naftali Bennett, Benny Gantz, and Yair Lapid, and why Netanyahu’s unpopularity ironically makes him easier for Trump to manipulate. From the long history of America arming Iran and Iraq to the Oslo Accords and the manufactured Iranian boogeyman, Ghost lays out how decades of foreign policy theater have locked the region in perpetual crisis. Packed with historical context and fresh analysis, this episode challenges conventional narratives about the Middle East and the real endgame behind today’s headlines.

The Daily Herold - July 8, 2025: Epstein Fallout, Tariff Leverage, and Election Trust on Trial

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold grapples with the uproar over the DOJ’s Epstein memo, which declared there was no incriminating client list or credible blackmail evidence. Jon plays fresh clips of Trump dismissing further Epstein questions as a distraction and Pam Bondi giving an unconvincing explanation for missing video footage and ambiguous records. He reflects on how influencers, not Trump himself, fueled expectations about “the list,” and why the lack of resolution feels like a deliberate demoralization tactic. Shifting gears, Jon covers Trump’s flurry of tariff letters to 14 countries, new White House policies freezing federal hiring, and calls for the Fed’s Jerome Powell to resign over interest rate mismanagement.
Other highlights include ICE raids that triggered panic in Los Angeles, an Obama-appointed judge blocking Congress’s Planned Parenthood defunding, and the State Department quietly removing a Syrian rebel group from the terror list. Jon wraps up by stressing that without real election reform, none of the policy victories will matter, urging listeners to stay focused on fixing the voting system before the midterms rather than getting lost in narrative psyops.

Badlands Daily - July 8, 2025: Houthis Attack, Epstein Cover-Up, and Border Raids Spark Backlash

Culture of Change Ep. 111: They Lost More Than An Election

In this episode, Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes take a deep dive into the global agenda hidden behind the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. They break down how seemingly noble objectives like ending poverty, achieving gender equality, and promoting clean energy are actually mechanisms for centralized control, economic redistribution, and cradle-to-grave indoctrination. The conversation weaves through historical examples of propaganda, the erosion of national sovereignty, and the use of fear, from climate change to pandemics, to steer public compliance. The hosts reflect on why so many institutions appear to be designed to weaken families, reward dependency, and strip away personal agency.
Alongside this sober analysis, they highlight the emerging cultural shift: a renewed interest in faith and truth, especially among younger generations seeking something authentic beyond engineered narratives. With humor and candor, they explore why the establishment’s desperation stems not just from losing an election but from losing their grip on a planned global order, and why that unraveling might be the greatest hope of all.

Alongside personal reflections on brotherhood, trauma, and the sense of futility, the episode challenges official narratives, questioning whether the war’s failures were incompetence or by design. Stories of bizarre moments, like discovering a massive IED in a bulldozer bucket and witnessing UFOs on patrol, punctuate the grim recollections.
