The Daily Herold: June 26, 2025 – Bombs, Bunkers, and the Battle for Narrative Control

Jon Herold returns from the closet studio in the Keys with another lively and layered episode dissecting the media frenzy surrounding Trump’s precision strikes on Iran. He questions whether the Pentagon truly destroyed all uranium targets, explores the strategic psyop angle of “low-confidence” briefings, and suggests it may have all been a trap to catch leakers inside the intelligence community. Jon highlights Peter Hegseth's fiery Pentagon takedown of legacy media, debates the polarizing Israel narrative, and shares clips showing Trump’s past frustrations with Netanyahu.
Other key stories include RFK Jr.’s decision to pull U.S. support from Gavi, vaccine coalitions bypassing oversight, the crypto mortgage update from the FHFA, and a major SCOTUS win for pro-life advocates. Jon also calls out the Senate parliamentarian for blocking parts of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” while mocking the media meltdown over Florida’s alligator-surrounded migrant facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” Packed with humor, frustration, and sharp cultural insight, this episode is a deep dive into the modern propaganda machine, government accountability (or lack thereof), and the ever-thinning veil over the regime’s collapsing narratives.

Badlands Daily: June 26, 2025 – GITMO Expansion, Narrative Fallout, and the VP Guessing Game

On this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Alpha Warrior unpack the latest headlines with a blend of sharp insight and healthy skepticism. They kick things off with reactions to the D.C. circuit court dismissing Trump’s gag order appeal, then pivot to reports of continued expansion at GITMO, raising questions about who, or what, it’s being built for. The hosts speculate on recent chatter around Julian Assange’s fate and Trump’s cryptic social media posts, suggesting the narrative around Assange could be signaling a major shift in the information war.
From the Epstein docket’s odd omissions to a deep dive into Trump’s precision strategy in Iran and his refusal to escalate with Israel, CannCon and Alpha also weigh the impact of legacy media spin, particularly CNN’s framing of the recent airstrikes. They close with reflections on Trump's VP prospects, including renewed chatter around Tulsi Gabbard, and discuss the psychological toll of war, media gaslighting, and the importance of discernment in this critical moment. With humor, clarity, and controlled fury, this episode tracks the collapse of the old system and the narratives trying to hold it up.

The show dives deep into ICE raids sweeping the nation, exposing the hypocrisy of sanctuary city policies and spotlighting corruption from politicians like Cynthia Gonzalez, accused of inciting gang resistance to federal agents. Brad tears apart mainstream media hoaxes, including viral misinformation about ICE detaining a Marine's father and the weaponization of emotion against immigration enforcement. He calls out Reddit anarchists encouraging sabotage of ICE vehicles and makes the case for prosecuting illegal employers.
The episode also features reflections on cultural psyops, the rebranding of war under the Department of Defense, and Trump’s brutal narrative chess moves, especially his cryptic references to Netanyahu and Israel.

Altered State S3 Ep. 34: Sub Wars, Sun Cycles, and the Shifting Matrix

Brad Zerbo and Zak “RedPill78” Paine return for another deep dive into the weird and wonderful, kicking off with theories around the recent submarine disappearance and how it ties into solar activity and timeline anomalies. The hosts explore the concept of “soft disclosure” through science fiction and examine real-world parallels in black-site programs, missing 411 cases, and frequency manipulation. Discussions range from lunar energy harvesting and the moon as a potential base, to the importance of resonance and how ancient knowledge is being rediscovered. Brad unpacks Earth’s magnetic cycles, Schumann resonance, and the collapse of the official climate narrative, while Zak connects spiritual awakening with geopolitical shifts, particularly around BRICS nations and de-dollarization. The episode also touches on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X revelations, the use of dark magic in pop culture, and how to remain grounded in a matrix engineered for distraction.

The episode takes a sharp turn into cultural psyops, as she revisits the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., raising questions about historical narrative control and CIA influence. Wrapping it all in wit and realism, Shipwreck challenges listeners to break their own indoctrination, think critically, and stop defending a broken system. It’s a rant-filled ride full of laughs, lightning storms, and diaper-wearing dogs, with a big middle finger to media manipulation and performative patriotism.
