Brad and Abbey Zerbo celebrate a milestone as Codex 9/11 nears one million views, thanking their audience and announcing a special upcoming thank-you stream. From there, the episode dives into the heart of MAGA, with Brad breaking down how Trump’s policies, tax cuts, manufacturing incentives, and trade deals, are designed to raise the quality of life for everyday Americans. He frames MAGA not just as a slogan but as a universal invitation for citizens to live comfortably, pursue passions, and reclaim the American Dream.

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning by Strauss and Howe, unpacking the seismic cultural shifts of the Awakening era. From the GI Generation’s confidence after WWII to the Silent Generation’s contradictions and the Boomers’ rebellious rise, this discussion draws striking parallels to today’s upheavals. They trace how Vietnam, Watergate, civil rights battles, and shifting family dynamics set the stage for generational conflict and cultural realignment, while also exploring how children of the 1960s and 70s were shaped by fractured homes, Hollywood’s anti-child narratives, and a society growing hostile to traditional structures. With humor, historical insight, and a sharp eye on how these cycles echo into the present, CannCon and Ashe help listeners see the patterns that repeat, and why understanding them matters now more than ever.

In this episode, Ghost dives headfirst into the chaos shaking global politics. From Venezuela’s drug cartels and looming U.S. military action to Brazil’s corrupt judiciary and Trump’s surprising embrace of Lula at the UN, the geopolitical web is laid bare. Ghost exposes Israel’s long game of blackmail through the PROMIS software and how Mossad leveraged it for global control, contrasting it with Epstein’s honeypot operations.
The episode also unpacks Trump’s fiery UN speech, calling out the organization’s waste, corruption, and cowardice while mocking its marble-less halls. Listeners get deep analysis on the sanctions against Brazilian justice Alexandre de Moraes, Trump’s tariffs, Maduro’s power plays, and the dangerous games being played with Palestine’s recognition. Ghost ties it all together with insight into the emerging North-South transportation corridor, Kazakhstan’s $4 billion rail deal, and how these shifts signal the dawn of a new golden age of trade and power.

Jon Herold unpacks a wide-ranging show starting with Trump’s executive order designating Antifa a domestic terrorist organization and the murky legal ground that comes with it. He then welcomes former congressman and economist Dave Brat for a deep dive into grassroots politics, the spiritual war in academia, and how faith and education shape economic strength. Their conversation touches on Brat’s upset victory over Eric Cantor, the weakness of today’s conservatives, the role of Christianity in economic growth, and whether school choice and fair elections can truly fix a broken system.
Later, Jon breaks down Trump’s fiery UN appearance, Kamala Harris’s rhetoric, Google’s partial retreat on censorship, and the Tylenol–autism controversy fueling Trump’s new autism action plan. With sharp insights on crypto, taxes, and controlled opposition in media, this episode ties together politics, faith, and freedom in classic Daily Herold style.

CannCon and Ghost take on a packed Tuesday edition of Badlands Daily, starting with Trump’s explosive announcement linking Tylenol use in pregnancy to autism, sparking Big Pharma denials and possible lawsuits. The hosts dig into vaccine safety, censorship, and the broader fight against medical corruption, drawing comparisons to Nuremberg accountability.
They then tackle a messy drug pricing controversy, exposing how media spin distorts Trump’s push for fairness in global markets. Shifting gears, the show dives into MSNBC’s hit piece on Tom Homan, FBI entrapment, and CIA-fed narratives, followed by Trump’s executive order designating Antifa a domestic terror group. From looming government shutdown games in Congress to SCOTUS weighing presidential power over “independent” agencies, CannCon and Ghost emphasize first principles and accountability. Internationally, they cover Trump’s moves with Turkey, Netanyahu, and Kazakhstan, plus the UN’s recognition of Palestine, setting the stage for geopolitical realignment. With sharp commentary and no-nonsense analysis, this episode threads together corruption, propaganda, and global maneuvering.

Jon Herold and Zak “RedPill78” Paine dig deep into Benjamin Netanyahu’s shadowy past and the controversies that follow him into the present. From questions about dual citizenship, multiple Social Security identities, and confidential U.S. files to corruption trials and backroom deals, they trace how Netanyahu’s rise was anything but ordinary. The discussion links his father’s revisionist Zionism, the Entebbe raid, and the weapons of mass destruction narrative to modern scandals of bribery, media manipulation, and questionable alliances. The hosts connect these threads to the October 7th attacks, Netanyahu’s grip on power, and the explosive whispers surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination, asking whether Israel’s doctrine of Din Rodef could justify silencing critics.
With sharp commentary on 9/11 foreknowledge, U.S.-Israel ties, and the manipulation of trauma events, this episode pulls no punches in exposing how darkness is often woven into design.

In this powerful episode, Ghost is joined by Ryan Delarme and Adrian from Rise Attire to unpack the shocking themes behind their new Dauntless Dialogue documentary Darkness by Design. The discussion exposes how high fashion houses like Balenciaga have been hijacked and weaponized to push disturbing imagery, cultural degeneracy, and nihilism—by design, not accident. Ryan and Adrian walk through the making of the film, tracing the brand’s corruption from Cristóbal Balenciaga’s original couture vision to today’s grotesque displays that blur morality, art, and exploitation. Together, they connect the dots between postmodern art, celebrity culture, and psychological operations designed to erode tradition and faith. This conversation doesn’t just shine light on the darkness—it challenges listeners to confront it, resist it, and return to what is true, good, and beautiful.

Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes unpack the whirlwind of 2025, from unease in daily life to the spiritual revival sparked in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The conversation dives into Trump’s autism action plan linking Tylenol use to neurodevelopmental risks, potential treatments like leucovorin, and his call to slow down vaccine schedules, while exposing the dangers of aluminum and mercury still present in shots. The hosts connect these revelations to broader themes of manipulation, from Planned Parenthood to the obsession with cheating death, and warn of science without ethics. Using the Hunger Games as a lens, they explore how emotions can be weaponized, urging listeners to test the spirits, hold to biblical truth, and resist both political and spiritual deception. With reflections on Ben Carson’s powerful memorial speech, the infiltration of education and churches, and the ongoing battle between light and darkness, this episode challenges listeners to stay discerning, grounded, and unflappable in faith.
