Brad & Abbey Live Ep. 149: W.H.O. Get Rekt

In Episode 149 of Brad & Abbey Zerbo Live, the duo delivers a high-energy breakdown of Trump’s strategic withdrawal from the World Health Organization, just as global leaders sign on to a new pandemic treaty. They celebrate the U.S. skipping the World Health Assembly, dissect the propaganda playbook behind the plandemic narrative, and spotlight Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s scorched-earth video address to the WHO, which Brad and Abbey call “the best polite F-you in history.”
The conversation expands into the dangers of global governance, Biden’s billion-dollar WHO reversal, and the psychological manipulation used to manufacture consent. They also cover a jaw-dropping Trump-era deregulation effort that slashed 47 burdensome rules, explore the hidden impact of unelected bureaucrats, and praise efforts to free the American worker from regulatory strangleholds. With anecdotes about construction jobs, COVID weaponization, Crossfire Hurricane, and Alaska’s untapped resource potential, the episode fuses humor, insight, and fire.
As usual, the pair wraps with some fan favorites, mosquito alerts, camping rants, and a rally cry for real patriotism. Packed with receipts and righteous outrage, this episode is Brad and Abbey at their uncensored best.
 
 
 
 

Badlands Story Hour Ep. 117: The Apprentice

In Episode 117 of Badlands Story Hour, Chris Paul and Burning Bright unpack The Apprentice, the 2024 film dramatizing Donald Trump’s early years under the mentorship of Roy Cohn. The hosts analyze the movie’s intent and narrative schizophrenia, how it veers from a surprisingly nuanced portrayal of Trump’s ambition to a late-stage character assassination filled with unsubstantiated allegations. They explore the film’s core theme: Trump as a Frankenstein’s monster molded by the dark political arts of Roy Cohn, and they discuss whether Hollywood inadvertently humanized Trump in the process.
Roy Cohn’s infamous three rules, never apologize, hit back ten times harder, and never admit you're wrong, serve as a springboard for a broader conversation on morality, lawfare, and narrative warfare. Chris and Burning tackle topics like the ethics of blackmail, the psychological purpose of shame, and Trump’s mastery of narrative manipulation as a counterspell to the media matrix. With cultural, spiritual, and geopolitical insights layered throughout, this is a razor-sharp dissection of how fiction attempts to frame truth, and how Donald Trump remains an enigma even in Hollywood’s hands.

Badlands Book Club Ep. 10: Government Gangsters by Kash Patel - Chapters 17 & 18

In Episode 10 of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America tackle Chapters 17 and 18 of Government Gangsters by Kash Patel, delivering one of the most explosive episodes to date. The discussion centers on January 6th, from Kash’s firsthand account inside the Pentagon to the legal gymnastics used to sustain the insurrection narrative. The hosts highlight Trump’s pre-event authorization of up to 20,000 National Guard troops, Muriel Bowser’s signed rejection of federal support, and how Pelosi’s team refused help—all while later demanding tanks and blaming Trump for the breach.
They dig into the Justice Manual’s pivotal role in DOJ weaponization, the unconstitutional detainment of J6 protesters, and the shameless show trial tactics of the January 6th Committee. With analysis of political prisoners, Ray Epps, Raytheon-funded riots, and the AutoPen pardon scandal, this episode is a masterclass in exposing narrative warfare. Ashe and CannCon close with reflections on the broader implications for the America First movement and what's next in the unraveling of deep state protection schemes. A must-watch for anyone serious about justice, truth, and restoring constitutional accountability.

In this Special Edition of Geopolitics with Ghost, host Ghost returns from France on his birthday and the anniversary of the 2017 Sword Dance to deliver a sweeping, multilayered recap of Trump’s monumental Middle East tour. He begins with a breakdown of Russia’s Victory Day parade, Xi and Putin’s alliance, and Burkina Faso’s Traoré defying Western regime-change operations. But the heart of the episode lies in Ghost’s granular analysis of Trump’s stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, marking a new era of sovereign alliances and massive economic reorientation.
Ghost details over $2 trillion in trade, energy, defense, and tech deals, including space partnerships, missile defense systems, rare earth mineral investments, and Trump Towers rising in Jeddah and Dubai. He connects threads between Trump, MBS, AI, Kanye’s “Drome” city project, XAI investments, and symbolic cues like Trump’s crosshatch tie.
Also covered: Syria’s quiet shift, Rubio’s evolving stance, MBS’s quiet power moves, and legacy narrative warfare from neocons like Lindsey Graham and Mark Levin. This is Ghost at his best, braiding geopolitics, comms, history, and deep symbolism into a compelling vision of what comes after the collapse of the old guard.

The Daily Herold: May 20, 2025 – Budget Bombshells, Border Billions & Biden’s Boomerang

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold breaks down the political storm surrounding Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill”, a sprawling 1,116-page legislative behemoth loaded with tax cuts, border security funding, military investment, and controversial policy shifts. Jon calls out the hypocrisy of passing massive omnibus bills after years of GOP outcry against bloated legislation, and warns of hidden land sales, student loan overhauls, and potential CO2 pipeline power grabs.
He also dives into the crumbling narrative around Biden’s stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis, questioning the timing and transparency of the White House amid rising speculation of elder abuse and political cover-up. From Trump’s renewed attacks on Kamala Harris’s celebrity endorsements to rising tension with Netanyahu over Gaza, the episode unpacks domestic and foreign drama with characteristic wit and skepticism.
Other stories include Elon Musk’s scaled-back political spending, potential full-scale civil war in Syria, DOJ investigations into Chicago’s hiring practices, and a damning bribery conviction of a top Navy admiral. With a blend of policy critique and narrative subversion, Jon keeps viewers sharp as chaos unfolds across Capitol Hill and the global stage.

Badlands Daily: May 20, 2025 – Global Power Shifts, Narrative Collapses & Election Optics

In this jam-packed episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ghost tackle the geopolitical chessboard reshaped by Trump’s triumphant Middle East tour. From trillion-dollar investment deals to the snub heard 'round the world, Trump’s strategic bypass of Netanyahu signals a seismic shift in the U.S.-Israel relationship. Ghost breaks down the symbolic sword dances, economic alliances with MBS and Qatar, and what it all means for the emerging sovereign order.
Meanwhile, back in the States, Biden’s Gleason-9 prostate cancer diagnosis raises serious red flags. The hosts question the timing, transparency, and potential narrative utility of the announcement, especially in light of the devastating Robert Hur tapes and Biden’s cognitive decline. They also explore the AutoPen scandal, Jill Biden’s rumored revenge arc, and how the Democrats may be preparing a scorched-earth exit.
The show hits everything from Trump’s peace-brokering ambitions in Ukraine and Syria to bizarre Supreme Court rulings, DOJ shake-ups, and rumors of rogue North Korean special forces liberating Africa. Add in some spicy media takedowns, international election interference, and birthday celebrations for Ghost, and you’ve got one hell of an episode.

Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 133: TWA 800 – The Flight That Never Landed

In Episode 133 of Baseless Conspiracies, Jon Herold and Zak “RedPill78” Paine dive into the explosive mystery of TWA Flight 800, one of the first major conspiracies of the Internet age. Was it a tragic accident sparked by faulty wiring in a fuel tank, or was the plane brought down by a U.S. Navy missile during live-fire exercises off the New York coast? The guys examine the evidence: 230 lives lost, radar data, explosive residue, altered eyewitness testimony, and CIA-created “nothing to see here” animations.
They dissect mainstream media’s retreat from early missile strike theories, highlight whistleblower accounts and forensic red flags, and review a 2022 wrongful death lawsuit that’s still active in federal court. From confiscated video footage to the eerie military presence that night, this episode is a thorough case study in narrative control and government cover-up.
Also on deck: Biden’s aggressive prostate cancer, the case of Scott Adams, and speculation about who’s really running the show. Fasten your tinfoil hats, this one’s got receipts, redactions, and rumbling truth bombs.

Culture of Change Ep. 104: Summer Davos, AI Gods & the Cycle of Empire

Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes return for Episode 104 of Culture of Change with a fiery takedown of the World Economic Forum's upcoming “Summer Davos” conference in China. From smart fabrics to AI surveillance and the corporatist cult of “New Champions,” the hosts break down how the globalist agenda masquerades as innovation while inching toward full-spectrum control. They explore the spiritual emptiness at the core of this technocratic loop, referencing ancient symbolism like the Ouroboros and drawing parallels to prophecy and end-times narratives.
The episode weaves together philosophical, political, and spiritual themes, juxtaposing Trump’s sovereign vision for national rebirth against the WEF’s centralized, data-driven dystopia. Along the way, they discuss the propaganda in modern entertainment, the erosion of values through normalized media messaging, and the critical importance of personal sovereignty and non-compliance. With clips from Trump’s Middle East speech and a powerful close from Shipwreck on quiet rebellion, this episode is a rally cry for those waking up to the psychological and spiritual battle playing out on a global stage.
