Devolution Power Hour Ep. 455: Counterterrorism Doc Drops, CIA Exposed, Europe Indicted

Jon Herold and Burning Bright spend most of this Wednesday episode reading through Trump's newly released National Counterterrorism Strategy live, and the document delivers far more than expected. Beyond Antifa designations and cartel operations, the strategy explicitly names the US intelligence community as a weaponized political threat, calls the CIA's counterterrorism powers an instrument of persecution against Americans, and dedicates an entire section to calling European governments willful incubators of terrorism against their own people. Jon and Burning Bright connect every section to the broader devolution framework, the Russiagate accountability timeline, NSPM 35 and 36, and the Sovereign Alliance multipolar realignment. The Mexico and Sinaloa governor indictment gets its own breakdown alongside Scheinbaum's impossible position as the DOJ names more governors. The show closes on Trump's perfect endorsement record in Indiana and Ohio versus the synchronized ConInc narrative that MAGA support is collapsing, the Epstein suicide note, and what Trump's Iran True Social post signals when his own negotiators are publicly denying a deal exists.

The Shipwreck Show Ep. 53: Data Centers, Grocery Surveillance &… Alien Wars?

Tonight’s episode goes off the rails in the most honest way possible.We’re digging into the rise of massive data centers in Utah and what that means for energy, control, and the future of infrastructure. Then it gets personal—grocery stores experimenting with pricing based on facial recognition and purchase history. Yeah… that’s where we’re at.From there, we talk about the bigger shift: people are burnt out, checked out, and increasingly just don’t care anymore—and maybe that’s exactly the problem.We also touch on: – Spirit Airlines making moves– The idea that miracles don’t happen anymore (or do they?)– And yes… the conversations people are having about underground alien bases and conflicts most of us never hear aboutIt’s a mix of real headlines, cultural exhaustion, and the strange territory we’re all navigating right now.Because whether it’s tech, faith, or the state of the world—something feels off.And tonight, we’re talking about it.

MAHA Living Ep. 10 - Peptides: Most Popular, Pros & Cons

Jordan and Nate finally tackle the buzzword everyone's been throwing around: peptides. From Ozempic and Gila monster spit to copper creams and hairy butt cheeks (yes, really), the guys break down what peptides actually are, why they suddenly went viral, and whether the hype is justified.
They cover the basics in plain English with a fun letters-words-sentences analogy, dig into RFK Jr.'s deregulation of compounding pharmacy peptides, and walk through the most popular ones on the market today. BPC-157 for injury repair, GHK-Cu for skin and hair, Semax for cognition, Melanotan for tanning, Tesamorelin, Tirzepatide, MOTS-c, PT-141, and a few that had the guys laughing about where exactly you're supposed to inject them.
Along the way, they discuss peptides hiding in your food (eggs, bone broth, sauerkraut, mushrooms), why aspartame is technically a peptide too, and the difference between supporting your body's natural processes versus messing with gene therapy. As always, the message is the same: tools are tools. Don't reach for the magic injection when whole food and a real lifestyle would do the trick.

Space Revolution Ep. 17 - Technology in History Doesn't Repeat Itself, but it Sure Does Rhyme

Lt Gen (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast was supposed to share the mic with cohost Matt Trump this week, but traffic had other plans. So buckle up for a solo ride through one of the meatiest history-meets-tech episodes yet, built around the recommended read The Autumn of the Middle Ages.
The thesis: every great technological leap in human history, from medieval to Renaissance to industrial to today's network age, has been transformative and brutally violent. Kwast argues we are standing at the next hinge point and we have a choice. Race ahead with American values planted firmly on the high ground of space, or let an adversary plant theirs.
He breaks down why energy in space is the whole ballgame, why Trump's executive order to put a nuclear plant in orbit by 2028 and on the moon by 2030 is the strategic one two punch that pairs with the 2019 creation of the Space Force, and why the Pancho Villa moment looking up at an airplane is exactly what we want our adversaries feeling. He also explains why Trump is wisely refusing to tear down old institutions until better ones are built. Build first, exit second.

The Daily Herold: 5/6/26 - UFO Disclosure Incoming, Iran Deal Close & Trump Endorsements

Jon Herold is skeptical today, and he has a list. Kash Patel confirmed the FBI delivered its first tranche of UFO documents to Congress, pastors are allegedly being briefed to prepare their congregations, and Jon is already dreading the clickbait tsunami that follows. He has real questions: why is every government on earth keeping this secret simultaneously, and is this disclosure a genuine revelation or the latest thing to pull a burned-out audience back in? On the Iran front, the White House says it is closer to a breakthrough than ever, with a one-page memorandum of understanding being drafted and Tehran expected to respond within 48 hours. Jon notes we have been on the verge of a breakthrough several times before. Trump's endorsements swept Indiana and Ohio primaries, and Jon raises the question nobody wants to sit with: what does winning endorsements mean when the man endorsing also says the elections are rigged? Trump also posted that the White House ballroom has doubled in size and cost, and Jon still wants to know what is going underneath it. Plus: the DOJ predicts the Supreme Court will declare AR-15s legal nationwide, the FBI raided a Virginia Democratic senator's office in a cannabis corruption probe, and Ted Turner has died.

Badlands Daily: 5/6/26 - Fulton County Subpoenas, NIH Smuggler Caught, Iran Deal Closes

CannCon and Ashe in America bring another Ash Wednesday packed with election integrity, COVID accountability, and geopolitics. The DOJ serves grand jury subpoenas for every 2020 Fulton County election worker, seeking names, addresses, and phone numbers for everyone from mail-in ballot reviewers to risk-limiting audit volunteers. Ash makes the case this is the first formal investigation into what actually happened in Georgia. In Indiana, Trump's primary revenge tour goes five for six as long-serving incumbents who blocked redistricting get sent home. Ash drops a story about Colorado GOP governor candidate Victor Marx raising $1.6 million through WinRed with zero grassroots energy, flagging it as a potential smurfing operation on the Republican side, and calls on electionwatch.info as the tool to check. NIH virologist Vincent Munster was caught at the airport smuggling undeclared pathogen samples from the DRC, the FBI is investigating, and his connection to the DEFUSE blueprint for COVID and Ralph Baric's concurrent removal from NIH grants sends the COVID accountability thread into overdrive. Rand Paul's Fauci criminal referral deadline is one week out. Plus, DC police leadership faces termination for manipulating crime data, Trump doubles the ballroom, and the Iran nuclear deal is one page away from being signed.

RattlerGator Report: 5/6/26 - The Nation Is Healing, January 6 Operators, and the Feminist Lie

JB White opens with an $8.6 billion arms sale to four Gulf and Middle Eastern allies in 48 hours and asks a simple question: does that look like chaos or dominance? He then walks through the world of competing confusions, spotlighting Candace Owens' 2016 doxxing database as an early red flag of an operator working against the people she claimed to represent. From there he makes a sharp case that January 6 was a fedsurrection, noting that the only two people caught on video urging the crowd forward faced no serious charges. He closes with a ground-level dispatch from John Conrad about a small-town auto parts store as a quiet but real sign of the Trumpian reset taking hold. JB also gets personal on the manufactured war between Black men and Black women, white feminism's role in dismantling the Black nuclear family, and his own family history tied to Andersonville, Georgia.

DEFCON ZERQ Ep. 042: Fauci's Statute Clock, Burn Bags & The 2020 Election Heist Map

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid come in fired up after a Sunday show that hurt some feelings, and they are not slowing down. The duo opens with the David Morens indictment, the two unnamed coconspirators that almost certainly point to Peter Daszak and Ralph Baric, and the six day perjury statute clock ticking on Fauci. The DOJ said today they will not charge Fauci with perjury, which the guys read as a tell that the actual charge will be something much bigger.
From there they roll into Kash Patel's Hannity sit down where Patel openly used the words grand conspiracy, talked about a hidden room of unburned burn bags inside the FBI, and credited rank and file good guys for leaving breadcrumbs. Alpha and Josh argue this was military intelligence preservation all along, finally being entered legally into evidence.
Then the receipts. They reconstruct exactly how 2020 was stolen, walking from Soros funded 2018 secretary of state races to COVID timing to mail in ballot rule changes that state supreme courts later ruled unconstitutional. Plus the Strait of Malacca confirmation from Glenn Beck, the IRGC missile incident in UAE, and why the church may be next.

Why We Vote Ep. 172: Fulton Subpoena, Louisiana SCOTUS Ruling & Voter Fraud

CannCon and Ashe in America pack a full show without a guest. The DOJ charges four non-citizen resident aliens with illegal voting in New Jersey, and DHS confirms an active investigation into illegal alien voters in Franklin County, Ohio, raising bigger questions about how they got registered in the first place. In Fulton County, Georgia, citizen investigator Jason Fraser exposes 10,000-plus duplicate voter registrations, while a nine-year poll veteran details how unsworn ACLU clerks used personal computers to clear voter records from the eNET system during the 2020 election. Brad Raffensperger refuses to say he made a mistake certifying 2020 in a gubernatorial debate, and then looks down. The Louisiana v. Callais SCOTUS decision effectively kills the expansive use of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act as a racial gerrymandering tool, and the court expedites its remand instead of waiting the typical 32 days, a significant signal heading into the 2026 midterms. The show closes on the DOJ grand jury subpoena demanding personal contact information for every Fulton County 2020 election worker, and Norm Eisen and Abby Lowell's motion to quash it.

Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 104: $150 Oil, UAE Under Fire & Project Freedom - 5/5/26

Episode 104 opens with the global energy crisis coming into sharp focus. Kuwait exported zero barrels of oil in April for the first time since 1991, global inventories are heading toward all-time lows, and market analysts are projecting oil prices well above $150 a barrel within weeks. Ghost plays a newly surfaced Soleimani lecture from the 1990s where the IRGC commander taught officers the exact asymmetric warfare strategy now playing out in the Strait of Hormuz, and connects it to Trump's understanding of the Iranian playbook. The ceasefire holds in name only as the US launches Project Freedom convoy operations, Iran attacks the UAE for two consecutive days including a strike on the Fujairah oil port, and Iran releases an expanded maritime control map. Ghost then tracks the UAE banking crisis, capital flight, and Trump's currency swap discussion alongside the Sharjah independence rumors circulating widely on social media. The episode closes with Israel's political opposition consolidating against Netanyahu, the ex-Shin Bet chief calling him dangerous, and Smotrich publicly attacking the Bennett/Lapid coalition.
