The Daily Herold: 12/2/25 – Trump’s Tariff Tease, War Crime Claims, and Dominion Confusion

Jon Herold breaks down a busy news day, starting with Trump’s rapid-fire posts and his headline-grabbing claim that tariffs may soon eliminate the income tax. He examines the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on Trump’s tariff authority and what the decision could signal. Jon then digs into the controversy over a second strike on a Venezuelan drug-smuggling boat, questioning combatant status, media framing, and how the story could be weaponized politically.
He also tackles Emerald Robinson’s expanding thread on Dominion, Smartmatic, and Liberty Vote, pointing out inconsistencies and the intelligence-community fingerprints that make the narrative tough to trust. The episode wraps with updates on DOJ wiretapping probes, Kristi Noem’s call for a travel ban, RFK Jr.’s vaccine review panel, and the ongoing fight over SNAP compliance in blue states.

Badlands Daily: 12/2/25 – Tariffs, SNAP Fraud, Media Meltdowns, and the New Geopolitical Chessboard

CannCon and Ghost break down Trump’s surging tariff revenue and what it means for taxes, trade, and the global balance of power. They dig into explosive SNAP fraud data showing thousands of liquor and smoke shops approved for EBT under Biden, exposing how the system has been weaponized and why accountability is nonexistent. The hosts torch the media meltdown over Trump’s new “media bias monitor,” react to DOJ overreach and lawmakers’ seized phone records, and call out the “seditious six” pushing dangerous messaging to the military. The episode wraps with fast-moving geopolitics, from Venezuela and cartel corruption to Ukraine’s reckless drone strikes near Turkey, showing how global narratives are shifting in real time.

Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 161: The Human Hunting Files

In this chilling episode, Jon Herold and Zak Paine take viewers deep into one of the darkest corners of global corruption as they continue their exploration into elite human-hunting networks and international organ-trafficking operations. Picking up where last week left off, Jon and Zak break down the disturbing disappearance of model Ryan Singleton and the haunting evidence suggesting his organs were harvested in the California desert. Their investigation stretches across continents, from Peru’s online-dating organ-trafficking murder to Syrian black-market networks, to allegations involving Israeli pathologists, and even European aristocrats evading exposure.
The hosts then push further into testimony from whistleblowers like Kathy O’Brien and Fiona Barnett, whose firsthand accounts place high-ranking political, royal, and religious figures inside hidden hunting lodges, ritual-abuse networks, and MK-Ultra programming systems. The episode also revisits Q-posts pointing to the Rothschilds’ Black Forest estate sale and its potential connection to these networks. Tense, unfiltered, and relentlessly probing, Jon and Zak deliver a shocking look at power, secrecy, and the lengths elites may go to remain untouchable.

Culture of Change Ep. 129: Citizenship, Sovereignty, and the American Identity

Ashe in America and Abbey Blue Eyes dive into a packed episode exploring how rapidly shifting norms are reshaping American culture, starting with Senator Bernie Moreno’s bold proposal to end dual citizenship and force a renewed conversation about loyalty, national identity, and the meaning of being American. The hosts reflect on personal experiences during COVID, the dangers of self-censorship, and the importance of confronting bad ideas openly rather than retreating from them. They examine how government overreach, bloated institutions, and a diluted sense of citizenship have eroded public trust and fueled today’s fractured political landscape. From the reopening of debates around American exceptionalism to sharp critiques of globalist influence, the conversation highlights why defending foundational values, liberty, accountability, and cultural clarity, matters now more than ever.

Movie Nights with Matt: The Origins of America's Secret Police: Ancient Roots of Occult Societies & Intelligence Operations

Do leading members of secret societies managing many of the levers of influence throughout history wield genuine “knowledge known only to the inner elites”… or is something else at play?
In this Canadian Patriot Review documentary produced by Jason Dahl, narrated by Matt Ehret and based on the work of Cynthia Chung, you will be introduced to the ancient origins of the occult societies that penetrated the heart of America’s intelligence agencies after the murder of William McKinley in 1901.
This journey will take you into the heart of ancient occult societies that managed wars, financial and cultural policies over two millenia ago. You will learn of the underlying methodology of manipulation used to induce foolish kings and generals into self destruction during the days of the Persian Empire which continue to be used to this very day.
With this overview, you will be introduced to 1) the British roots of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry founded in 1801 by British grand strategists in South Carolina, 2) a figure named Albert Pike who led in the largest expansion of this foreign agency within the USA after Lincoln’s victory in 1865 and 3) the “seat of government” which 33rd degree FBI director J. Edgar Hoover managed in the USA during the course of eight presidencies.
This dark history is contrasted to the courageous efforts of men who devoted their lives resisting the growth of this occult agency including President Franklin Roosevelt, Senator Thomas J Walsh, Congressman Hale Boggs, Attorney General of New Orleans Jim Garrison, Martin Luther King Jr, Bobby Kennedy and his brother John F Kennedy.
This documentary was based on the essay “The Origins of America’s Secret Police” by Cynthia Chung, whose new book on the growth of 20th century fascism can be purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLMBKHPX/ref=sr_1_1?crid=VSL04B95XCFO&keywords=cynthia+chung+the+empire+on+which+the+black+sun&qid=1667807978&sprefix=cynthia+chung+the+empire+on+which+the+black+sun+%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-1

Alphas Make Sandwiches Ep. 48: Holiday Hangovers, Mom Fails & Pure Girl Chaos

Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo, Jackie Espada, and Mrs. Rise Attire bring maximum girl chaos in this wildly funny, holiday-recovery episode of Alphas Make Sandwiches. The show opens with toddler meltdowns, tech issues, and Jackie’s ongoing war with her lungs before spiraling into Thanksgiving confessions, over-cooked turkeys, and the group unanimously agreeing that hosting is a crime against mothers. Christy introduces her idiom of the week, Abbey recounts a migraine-inducing shopping disaster, and Mrs. Rise shares her not-so-peaceful attempts at Christmas decorating. The crew veers into bad hair days, school drop-off anxiety, forgotten appointments, broken nails, laundry shame, teen attitudes, and the eternal battle between moms and grocery stores.

In this rowdy post-Thanksgiving episode, CannCon, Alpha Warrior, JB White, and Cam Cooksey dive straight into the madness with weather gripes, holiday memes, and a sponsor rundown before unleashing a rapid-fire mix of chaos, sports talk, and comedic mayhem. The guys roast each other relentlessly, from Alpha’s late arrival to Cam’s team loyalties, before spiraling into a full breakdown of the week’s wildest NFL highlights, including absurd catches, blown plays, and their own increasingly competitive (and often disastrous) pick records. They revisit nostalgia with old-school Tyco commercials, react to viral internet clips, and debate league rankings with escalating trash talk that only hardcore Y-Chromes fans can survive without crying laughing. By the time they reach their weekly picks, everyone is swinging for the fences, scheming, and sabotaging each other’s juju while defending their fantasy football pride. It’s vintage Y-Chromes, loud, unfiltered, juvenile, and hilarious.

The Daily Herold 12/1/25: Election Narratives, Media Ops & the War for Legitimacy

Jon Herold kicks off the December 1 Daily Herold with post-Thanksgiving catch-up before diving straight into the drip-drip chaos surrounding Emerald Robinson’s ongoing claims about election interference and the Three Musketeers story. He walks through the logical gaps, the lack of sourcing, the contradictions about 2016, and why he believes the narrative ultimately works to delegitimize Trump rather than expose wrongdoing. From there Jon broadens the lens to the wider information war, calling out media hit pieces like the New York Times’ attempted takedown of David Sacks, the parallels to attacks against Badlands, and how irregular warfare operates by generating false conflicts and weaponized narratives. He checks in on the lack of new federal documents, DoD updates, Doge’s missing Friday posts, and Trump’s latest Truth Social messages about Syria, the Sedition 6, and Mark Twain. Later he examines peace-deal rumors around Ukraine, the legal battle over Alina Habba’s appointment, and key geopolitical shifts including Venezuelan tensions and Biden-era foreign policy failures. Jon closes with reflections on Bitcoin as energy-based currency, the Flynn debate, and even college-football coaching chaos, all tied back to the larger fight over information, legitimacy, and narrative control.

Badlands Daily – December 1, 2025: Illegal Remittances, Gang Violence & the Coming Enforcement Showdown

CannCon and Zak Paine return after the holiday break with a packed episode, opening on the heartbreaking Stockton shooting that left four young people dead before diving into the Treasury Department’s new crackdown on illegal remittances sent by migrants working unlawfully in the U.S. They break down how this FinCEN move threatens cartel cash flow, destabilizes sanctuary-state politics, and directly challenges a decades-old system exposed by a newly surfaced 1983 CIA memo. The hosts then turn to Oregon, where the state’s attorney general and governor are threatening to arrest federal agents enforcing immigration law, a constitutional confrontation they say is coming to a head. From there, they explore Operation Allies Welcome failures, Afghan nationals flagged for terror ties, and the deeper implications behind the recent D.C. National Guard attack. The show also highlights Trump’s escalating posture toward transnational cartels and Venezuela, media attempts to undermine anti-cartel strikes, and how the intelligence community is reacting. A fast-moving, sharp breakdown of immigration, national security, and political warfare.
