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 about It’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.
