Jon Herold kicks off the week with a packed edition of The Daily Herold, diving deep into President Trump’s headline-making meeting with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele.

The show also unpacks China’s response to Trump’s trade war, tightening rare earth mineral exports, and how the U.S. is countering with domestic production, semiconductor tariffs, and AI manufacturing deals with Nvidia. Jon explains why Trump’s tariff strategy is more than economic policy, it’s a national security overhaul meant to repatriate critical industries.
Jon also digs into the legal chaos surrounding a Supreme Court order to return a deported MS-13 gang member from El Salvador, Trump’s cognitive test soundbites, growing tensions over the Ukraine conflict, and the EU’s burner phone paranoia. From Palantir’s AI battle systems and the FTC’s antitrust case against Meta to student homelessness laws in California and a bizarre arson attack at Governor Shapiro’s residence, Jon ties together the week’s most bizarre and important stories with speed, wit, and unfiltered analysis.

CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine deliver a packed Monday edition of Badlands Daily, cutting through narrative fog with sharp insight and plenty of laughs.

Burning Bright welcomes Lieutenant Colonel Oak McCulloch for a powerful and wide-ranging conversation on leadership, sovereignty, and the path forward in a chaotic world.

Together, he and Burning Bright explore the transformation of Donald Trump’s leadership style across his terms, comparing it to historical figures like Patton, Reagan, and even JFK.
They dive deep into the philosophy behind Trump’s bold economic and geopolitical moves, examining how he uses storytelling and intentional strategy to rally the American people and confront globalist power structures. Oak explains why great leaders don’t always announce their plans, how Trump has built a trusted team for a second term, and why the real war is as much informational as it is strategic.

The show opens with a takedown of the sudden cheerleading around Tulsi Gabbard’s election machine comments, unpacking why her words may be too little, too late, and why the real focus should be on Trump’s executive actions dismantling the election interference infrastructure.
From there, the duo dives into the declassified Crossfire Hurricane documents, highlighting how old narratives are being reintroduced for public reconditioning ahead of something much bigger, possibly what Chris dubs “RICO Grande.” They also explore the “Doomsday Book,” Presidential Emergency Action Documents (PEADs), and why former regime operatives are panicking about Trump’s use of constitutional war powers on domestic soil.
The second half turns to Trump’s border memo authorizing military jurisdiction over federal lands to fortify the southern border, potentially transforming sections into National Defense Areas. Then, the focus shifts to global trade and Trump’s emerging Mar-a-Lago Accord: a five-step plan to reshape global currency flows, devalue the dollar on U.S. terms, and return manufacturing and monetary power back to the homeland. It’s a financial reset, America First style.
With laughs, clarity, and brutal honesty, this episode cuts through fear porn and controlled narratives to spotlight what’s really being reset, and who’s in charge of the lever.

The Liberty Den Ep. 138: Rigged Machines, Rogue Rulings & the Maggot Margin

This wild and wide-ranging episode of The Liberty Den brings together a rotating cast of Badlands Media hosts for a conversation that starts with heartfelt tribute and quickly spirals into signature late-night madness. The crew opens with a tribute to longtime Badlander Beth, reflecting on her impact in the community and the driving force behind their continued fight against the corruption that took her too soon.
From there, the team dives into the latest developments in election integrity, including Tulsi Gabbard’s viral comments as DNI, the growing mainstream acknowledgment of rigged machines, and the overdue need for accountability, not just more investigations. The conversation heats up around the No Rogue Rulings Act, the strategy to rein in activist judges, and the unlikely prospects of it passing the Senate.
What starts as political analysis quickly snowballs into full-blown conspiracy comedy, with deep dives into FDA food allowances (yes, maggots are allowed), Denver Airport occult lore, and glowing red-eyed horse statues named “Blucifer.” The crew also debates whether Jordan Sather was on Comedy Central, dreams up haunted hotel GART destinations, and even plans to buy a plane while joking about underground bunkers, Space Force bases, and lizard people.
Equal parts serious and unhinged, this episode is a perfect slice of Liberty Den, where the rabbit holes are real, the jokes are brutal, and the friendships are bulletproof.

Why We Vote Ep. 120: The MESA Act, Machine Corruption & How We Take Our Elections Back

In a powerhouse episode of Why We Vote, CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by Col. Conrad Reynolds and Will Huff to break down the Make Elections Secure Again (MESA) Act. The federal legislation crafted in partnership with Rep. Pete Sessions that could finally bring hand-marked, hand-counted paper ballots back to American elections. The guests detail how electronic voting machines are vulnerable by design, how barcodes and ballot-marking devices subvert voter intent, and why no system relying on proprietary tech can ever be truly trusted.
They recount their uphill battle to reform elections in Arkansas, where bipartisan public support for paper ballots has been met with fierce resistance from entrenched interests, election tech vendors, state officials, and powerful lobby groups. From illegal threats against local officials to grassroots wins like Searcy and Independence Counties, Col. Reynolds and Huff outline both the fight and the path forward.
The conversation also explores the MESA Act’s enforcement teeth, including replacing the Election Assistance Commission with a new oversight body, criminal penalties for noncompliance, and revoking funding for states that don’t meet federal security standards. Plus: Tulsi Gabbard’s explosive DNI statements, the failure of election judges to ensure vote verification, and why both parties may fear what true election integrity could expose.
If you want to understand how elections are really manipulated, and what it will take to fix them, this episode is for you.
