A WORLD GONE MAD

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThe Monday Fallout starts this week off with Trump once again waving the banner of emergency. The word itself is supposed to create urgency, fear, action. But when it gets used over and over, what is left of its meaning?Next comes the battle over TikTok. On the surface it is framed as a matter of national security. Scratch a little deeper and the question becomes what the real truth is in this ongoing and delayed battle.TikTok is no longer just a distraction filled with dances and jokes. It has become a global chessboard where algorithms and ownership carry more weight than speeches. When deals are struck, the question is not who owns the app but who owns the influence.George Santos steps into the spotlight again, only this time the stage is a courtroom. A man who built his career on fabrications finds himself caught in a ruling that shines a light on truth, comedy, and consequence.The pattern is hard to ignore. Emergencies that blur into reruns. Security that may not be secure at all. A public figure who cannot outrun the punchline of his own story.These are not just headlines. They are signals of how power is used and how the narrative is managed. When the same storylines keep circling back, the repetition itself becomes part of the message.Questions remain. What happens when extraordinary powers start to feel routine. What happens when the justification of security sounds more like the language of profit. What happens when the performance finally crashes into accountability.This episode is not about settling those questions but raising them in full view. The answers are not packaged, the direction is not obvious, and that is what makes them worth asking.By the time it ends, the stories of Trump, TikTok, and Santos look less like separate headlines and more like pieces of the same larger play. The stage is crowded, the audience is restless, and the performance keeps repeating until someone decides to call it out.Would love to hear from you…WolfPackTalks@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWTonight's episode of A World Gone Mad is not like the others.There are moments when the news can't be played for laughs, and this is one of them.A public figure has been gunned down. The ripple effects stretch far beyond one man or one ideology. They reach into the very heart of where America is heading, and what we've allowed ourselves to become.This is not an easy conversation. It is not light. It is not entertainment. It is a blunt examination of political violence and what it says about us as a nation.We live in a climate where anger turns into threats, and threats turn into action. The guardrails of democracy feel weaker every time violence becomes an acceptable answer to words. And that reality has now landed in the headlines with a force we can't look away from.Some will spin it. Some will celebrate. Others will weaponize it for their own gain. But beneath all of that noise lies a more urgent truth: America is standing at a crossroads, and the choices we make now will echo for decades.This episode asks the questions too many are afraid to face. It challenges the narratives. It calls out the hypocrisy. And it refuses to pretend that murder can ever be a solution to ideas we disagree with.You may not want to hear it. But you need to. Because silence, indifference, and distraction are exactly what allow this cycle to deepen.If you listen to only one episode this month, let it be this one.Because now is NOT the time to stick our heads in the sand. Apathy is NOT an option.Give me your thoughts please:WolfPackTalks@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThis WTF Wednesday I wade through headlines that look less like news and more like rejected scenes from a bad sequel. The only thing missing is popcorn.The military pulls off a strike that feels like it was storyboarded in Hollywood. Now Washington is stuck explaining it with the credibility of a teenager swearing they only had one beer.Vice President J D Vance decides to chime in with commentary that makes international law sound like it was written on the back of a napkin. Bold strategy, let's see how that plays out.Meanwhile a note linked to Jeffrey Epstein pops up in Congress and suddenly full-grown politicians are acting allergic to paper. It's oversight theater at its weirdest.The White House press room steps in next, spinning so hard it could generate its own power grid. Yesterday it was fake, today it's not, tomorrow it's the narrative. Got that?In Missouri, lawmakers clap for honesty one minute and vote the opposite way the next. It's accountability on stage, business as usual backstage. The applause sign is working overtime.Across the ocean, Russian drones cross into Poland and NATO has to answer. That's not just a border issue…that's the kind of thing that makes generals reach for antacids.And yes, Trump strolls back in to declare retreat a victory. Only in America can backing down be marketed like a grand achievement.It's another WTF Wednesday where everything Washington does we have to say “what the F…”I need everyone who's listens to my podcast to please check in with an email to me to represent your state, and your country if you're outside of America.WolfPackTalks@gmail.com AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWelcome to the Monday Fallout edition of A World Gone Mad.The week opens with a courtroom ruling that undercuts a familiar strategy. What was framed as strength now looks like a stall, and the legal road ahead grows steeper by the day.Inside the Capitol, party leaders search for new ways to rewrite a storyline that refuses to cooperate. The effort to shift perception only raises more questions about judgment and credibility.Beyond Washington, the ripple effect spreads. A sudden resignation abroad jolts markets and reminds the world how fragile political stability can be. The timing and the speed of it all caught observers off guard.Across the Atlantic, a labor stoppage in one of the globe's busiest cities forces everyday people into extraordinary adjustments. What should have been routine travel becomes a test of endurance and patience.Back in the United States, economic leadership is tested in a far less professional way. The people trusted with guiding policy and markets find themselves making headlines for the wrong reasons… and it is not about strategy.Each of these moments may seem separate. Legal rulings, leadership stumbles, transportation strikes, and personal clashes. But together they tell a larger story of institutions under stress and individuals struggling to control the narrative.This Monday Fallout episode of A World Gone Mad connects the dots. It delivers the perspective that cuts through the noise and makes sense of how power, politics, and personality collide at the start of a new week.I'm Jeff Alan Wolf, and I'm not going to ignore this…and neither should you. Send me an email so I can pin your state on my studio wall. And if you're listening outside the United States, I'd love to hear from you as well. wolfpacktalks@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWelcome to the Friday edition.The spotlight in Washington turned white hot as Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced a Senate hearing that was anything but routine. The questioning was relentless. The tone was sharp. The political theater played out in full view of the country.At the same time, a hidden camera sting video surfaced showing a senior DOJ official caught in conversation about what really happens behind the scenes. The footage didn't just hint at bias. It laid out, in the official's own words, how the system can tilt the scales of justice.These two moments … one under the bright lights of Capitol Hill, the other captured in secret on video … reveal the same unsettling truth. What was once whispered in back rooms is now spilling into the open for everyone to see.When a Senate grilling makes headlines, that's politics. But when a powerful insider is caught admitting how the game is played, that's something else entirely. It is accountability arriving from the cameras nobody knew were rolling.This edition pulls those threads together. The Kennedy hearing and the DOJ sting video may seem like separate stories, but they show how trust in government is cracking more each day.For anyone paying attention, the message is impossible to ignore. These events cut through the spin and expose the raw reality of politics when the mask slips. It is not polished. It is not pretty. And it cannot be brushed aside.This episode I take you inside both stories and the bigger questions they raise about transparency, accountability, and the future of the institutions that claim to serve the public.And then I close out this episode with the latest News from the Edge of Sanity. Where the stories are unhinged but REAL.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIt's WTF Wednesday and the headlines are weapons, not news.This episode dives into how America's image of strength is cracking while new power blocs rise abroad.In Washington survivors are demanding answers about sealed files, proof that justice can still be smothered when money and influence hold the cards.Courtrooms are handing down rulings that slap back at overreach, exposing how far some will go to bend old laws for new power.Beyond America's borders, rival powers are staging shows of force designed to rattle the West. They are banding together against America, signaling that a new axis of power is willing to challenge us outright. The message is blunt, calculated, and meant to shake confidence.At the same time questions are building about Donald Trump's health and stamina. He insists on projecting strength while the cameras show something very different.This is WTF Wednesday raw, unfiltered, and focused on the signals that reveal just how fragile the guardrails really are.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWEvery year, people talk about Labor Day as if it is just a long weekend, a time to grill in the backyard or grab a bargain at the store. I wanted to step back and ask the harder question of what this day was meant to represent in the first place. When the noise of the cookouts and sales fades, what remains is the story of struggle, sacrifice, and lives that were forever changed by the fight for dignity at work.Labor Day was not born out of leisure. It came from marches that filled the streets, from strikes that shut down factories, and from people who believed that a fair wage and safe conditions were worth risking everything. These weren't abstract battles. They were real people, often forgotten, who stood together because they had no choice but to demand something better.In this episode, I take a closer look at why the holiday matters and why the history is more urgent today than most people realize. It is easy to believe we are far removed from those early conflicts, but the truth is, many of the same pressures and injustices are still with us. The names and industries may have changed, but the fight to be treated as human beings and not disposable parts of a machine continues.I recorded this episode in the shadow of a holiday that has become comfortable, even casual, in our culture. That comfort hides the blood and courage that brought it into being. What does it mean to really honor Labor Day if we only acknowledge it through hamburgers, fireworks, or a sale sign in the window? The answer is not complicated, but it demands honesty.As you listen, I ask you to carry forward the memory of those who came before us. Their voices may be gone, but their impact remains in every break we take, every hour of overtime we get paid, and every weekend we spend with our families. Labor Day is not just a day off. It is a reminder of how fragile progress can be, and how easily we forget the cost of what we now take for granted.This episode is not about nostalgia. It is about recognition. It is about facing the real meaning of Labor Day and deciding whether we are content to forget it, or whether we still have the will to stand for something bigger than ourselves.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIt's Friday, and I'm back with another edition of A World Gone Mad. Some weeks the headlines just drift past…but this week, they hit with the force of a wrecking ball. What you're about to hear isn't spin, it's reality colliding with power in ways that should make every one of us stop and pay attention.I start with a story that goes beyond politics as usual. It's about the last place Americans thought they could still find truth…and how that foundation has been ripped apart in a matter of days. People with decades of service and reputations built on science stood their ground, and they paid the price. That alone tells you how deep the rot runs.Then I take you across the Atlantic, where a strike wasn't just an attack on Ukraine. It was a carefully staged message aimed straight at Europe's institutions. The death toll was brutal, but the symbolism was even louder. Europe has been put on notice…and the response is already moving from words to weapons.These aren't just “big stories.” They're turning points. They're the kind of moments that reveal what happens when truth is sidelined, when loyalty matters more than facts, and when the people in power bet that you won't notice. My job is to make sure you do notice.That's what this podcast is about: stripping away the excuses and saying what too many others won't. I'm not here to comfort the powerful. I'm here to hold up the mirror and ask if this is really the country we want to live in.But Fridays are also for breathing room…because nobody can stare at chaos all week without needing a release valve. That's why I bring you News from the Edge of Sanity: a chance to laugh, shake your head, and wonder how the world manages to outdo satire every single time.From government shake-ups to the bizarre sideshows of everyday life, I'll take you through it all. No filters, no sugar-coating, just the sharp edges and the absurd corners that define the week we just lived through.So plug in, press play, and let's close this week the way only A World Gone Mad can…with honesty, outrage, and just enough insanity to remind us we're still standing.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThis WTF Wednesday, I rip the mask off “patriotism” and show what it looks like when power hijacks the headlines. From Trump's push to criminalize flag burning, to FEMA workers punished for speaking out, to ICE slamming recruits through a 47-day crash course, the pattern isn't random…it's a dictator's blueprint.In this episode of A World Gone Mad, I take you inside the headlines they want you to swallow whole. The crackdown on protest dressed up as patriotism. The purge of disaster responders who dared to tell the truth. The militarization of Union Station in Washington, D.C., where National Guard troops guard platforms while glossy press releases talk about “safety” and “beauty.” None of it is progress. It's control, fear, and authoritarian theater.No bedtime stories. No unity slogans. Just the anatomy of dictatorship unfolding in plain daylight. Because when you silence protest, punish frontline workers, seize transit hubs, and build an ICE militia out of barely trained recruits, you're not keeping the country safe…you're strangling democracy.I'm not here to coddle. I'm here to grab the lapels of the frauds, the liars, the self-proclaimed patriots who think obedience is the same as love of country…and shake until their lies fall out. And then I hand the mic back to you, the Wolfpack, to answer the question at the heart of every WTF Wednesday:What the hell are they trying to get away with now?AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWAmerica is standing on a razor's edge. Soldiers in the streets, allies thrown under the bus, truth traded in for propaganda … and the real danger isn't just what's happening in front of us. It's what people are being conditioned to accept.In this Monday Fallout, I take the mask off the chaos and show the pattern hiding in plain sight: intimidation paraded as “safety,” political payback dressed up as “law and order,” and foreign policy turned into little more than a trash-talk sideshow.The headlines are radioactive, but what's brewing beneath them is even more toxic. Armed troops in American cities, crime stats cooked to sell a panic, allies humiliated for a campaign clip … it's not just incompetence. It's a strategy.At the center of it all is one weapon. Not tanks. Not rifles. Not even laws. The weapon is fear. And those in power know exactly how to use it.This episode isn't just a recap. It's a warning. About how fear is packaged and sold like a product. About how it gets recycled through crime, immigration, and foreign enemies until people can't tell the difference between real threats and manufactured panic. And about how once fear takes root, citizens don't just surrender their freedoms … they beg for the chains.I break down how the game works, why it's so effective, and what it costs … not only at home, but across the world. Because fear doesn't just make people compliant. It makes allies question America's sanity and adversaries celebrate its weakness.This isn't a news cycle. It's conditioning. And once you see the pattern, you can't unsee it. That's what tonight's Monday Fallout is about: stripping away the distraction, cutting through the noise, and calling out the system for what it really is.If you've ever wondered how democracies slide into something darker … not with a bang, but with the slow normalization of fear … this episode lays it bare. Fear isn't keeping anyone safe. Fear is the leash.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIt's Friday, and that means one thing: the week may be over, but the madness is still rolling downhill. A World Gone Mad is back with the Friday Edition — the mix of hard news, sharp commentary, and a trip to News from the Edge of Sanity to lighten the weight before the weekend hits.This episode kicks off with the kind of headline you can't ignore — the powerful using power to settle scores. I dig into the latest raid making waves in Washington and why the story isn't about documents, but about something pettier and more dangerous.From there, I head south — where a detention facility in the swamp has become a national flashpoint. What it represents goes way beyond barbed wire, and it raises a bigger question about how far politicians will go when they're chasing headlines and trying to look “tough.”Then I turn my focus to the economy. Markets are rattling, leaders are talking, and your wallet is caught in the middle. I look at the signals coming out of Jackson Hole and what they could mean for everything from mortgages to grocery bills — and why the spectacle isn't just about Wall Street.After that, it's time for the Friday tradition: News from the Edge of Sanity. The headlines may be heavy, but the sidelines are downright unhinged. Strange cargo spills, bizarre traditions that refuse to die, and public meltdowns that belong more in a comedy sketch than real life.As always, the absurd lives right next door to the serious — and if you can't laugh at it, you'll go mad from it. That's the balance I bring: news with teeth, and satire with purpose.The madness isn't slowing down — and neither am I.Send your comments to:MadWorldTalk@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThis week's WTF Wednesday episode pulls no punches. America is staring down threats to its most basic freedoms, with Donald Trump back in the spotlight…attacking mail-in voting and targeting the history of slavery, and the loudest voices in power aren't whispering anymore, they're shouting their plans out loud.At the top of the list is voting itself. When leaders openly talk about killing the very process that makes democracy possible, I know the game has changed. The tools may look technical…mail-in ballots, machines, rules…but the target is clear: the right to vote.Alongside this assault on ballots comes an assault on memory. History isn't just being debated; it's being rewritten. The ugliest chapters of America's past…slavery, lynching, systemic violence…are now being treated like optional content that can be censored, sanitized, or erased.When the truth becomes inconvenient, some would rather grab a Sharpie than face it. And that's exactly the danger of this moment: pretending that if we erase the evidence, the crimes themselves disappear.But the stakes go beyond one executive order or one museum review. These moves are signals…trial balloons for something bigger. If this is what's being said out loud today, I have to ask: what comes tomorrow?That's the thread connecting it all: democracy weakened, history rewritten, accountability ducked. It's a playbook I've seen before in the shadows of history, but it's unfolding now in real time, right in front of us.In this episode, I dive into the attack on voting, the whitewashing of slavery's history, and the dangerous question of what might be planned next if these trial runs succeed. Because once again, reality is stranger, louder, and more reckless than fiction.I'm not here to dim the lights… I'm here to crank them up until EVERY lie, EVERY scam, and EVERY fraudster is exposed. I'll drag their bullshit into blinding daylight WHERE IT CAN'T HIDE!AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWAnother Monday, another Fallout. The headlines are loud, but the truth is buried just beneath the surface…and that's where the real story lives.This week, Jeff Alan Wolf peels back the layers on what looks like routine politics. Foreign deals dressed up as diplomacy, troop movements packaged as security, and “law and order” stories spun into something far more sinister.When leaders smile for the cameras while quietly negotiating in back rooms, it's not just theater…it's a test of what we're willing to accept as normal. And once the abnormal starts feeling ordinary, democracy doesn't break in one moment… it erodes piece by piece.From the global stage to the streets at home, this episode tracks how language like “peace,” “safety,” and “routine” gets weaponized…and why that shift matters more than most realize.The surface story is simple. But line up the moves, the timing, and the power plays, and the picture that emerges isn't stability…it's intimidation dressed as governance.That's the Fallout. And that's why you'll want to hear this one all the way through.If you value unfiltered truth, make sure to follow, rate, and share this podcast.And don't just listen — be part of the conversation. Leave a voicemail at 833-399-9653 or email MadWorldTalk@gmail.com with your thoughts.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThe line between democracy and dictatorship is fading right before our eyes.The warning signs are no longer subtle. In this midweek WTF edition, Jeff Alan Wolf pulls back the curtain on a new wave of political moves that should have every American sitting up and paying attention. The tone is urgent, the stakes are high, and the consequences could reshape the country you thought you knew.This isn't about partisan bickering or routine headlines. It's about the quiet, deliberate steps that, taken together, point toward something far more dangerous. The erosion of democratic norms is no longer an abstract concept — it's unfolding in real time, and it's closer to home than most realize.With his trademark mix of sharp wit and unflinching truth-telling, Jeff takes listeners deep into the heart of a developing reality that feels less like a democracy and more like a system preparing to turn on its own people. It's a conversation about patterns, precedent, and the chilling effect of power when left unchecked.You won't find platitudes or sugar-coating here. This is about connecting the dots the mainstream refuses to connect, about seeing the bigger picture before it's too late. The goal is clear: get informed, stay alert, and refuse to be lulled into complacency.If you think “it could never happen here,” this episode might make you think again. Buckle up — this is WTF Wednesday, and you're about to hear why the alarms are ringing louder than ever.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWSome weeks are loud.Some weeks are deafening.This one isn't just noise…it's the kind of week that leaves the air heavy, the headlines sharp, and the ground under your feet just a little less steady.I'm talking about moments when the news isn't simply moving fast — it's moving in ways that change the shape of the conversation, the rules, and maybe even the boundaries we thought were solid. The kind of shifts you don't notice at first glance, but you feel them in your gut.This episode dives into a series of events that, on their own, would raise eyebrows — but together, paint a picture that's impossible to ignore. The pieces are on the table, the moves are being made, and the pattern that emerges is one you won't want to miss.Are these events just coincidence? Or something far more sinister?If you've been paying attention, you already know the signs. If you haven't… now might be the time to start.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWSome weeks, the headlines don't just feel upside-down — they look like they were dropped from space, bounced twice, and landed in a blender. This week is one of those weeks.I start with a high-stakes showdown that says everything about the way power is used — and abused — in America. A prominent figure Letitia James who dared to take on Donald Trump now finds herself on the receiving end of federal attention. Why she's there, and how it happened, says as much about the system as it does about the players.From there, I turn to a fresh eruption from the political stage — a late-night social media broadside from Donald Trump that mixes economic doom with just the right amount of theatrical panic. It's a warning so over-the-top from Donald, it would be funny… if it weren't being delivered with a straight face.And, because this is A World Gone Mad, I finish with News from the Edge of Sanity — my regular Friday segment where the headlines twitch, logic flees the scene, and reality files a restraining order.Don't forget to email me your thoughts MadWorldTalk@gmail.comCall my toll-free 24/7 voice mailbox833-399-9653Please leave your commentsStay HopefulJeffAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWhat if they're not just rewriting the rules — they're rewriting memory itself?In this episode, I follow the trail through quiet meetings, strategic distractions, and the growing effort to blur the line between truth and fiction. I'm not just watching the news — I'm watching the manipulation of what I'm allowed to remember.I dig into the patterns, the players, and the power plays unfolding right now. Some of it is loud. Most of it isn't. But every move points toward the same goal: control the narrative, erase the record, and gaslight the country into submission.I'm not here to echo headlines. I'm here to break them wide open. What's happening isn't chaos — it's choreography.This is one of those MUST LISTEN episodes — not just to stay informed, but to stay awake to what's really happening.Ready to fight back against the rewrite of America? Share this episodeemail madworldtalk@gmail.com with your thoughts, or call 833-399-9653. Leave a review on Apple or Spotify to ensure this voice of resistance doesn't get silenced.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIt's getting harder to tell the difference between headlines and hallucinations — but somehow, I'm still expected to keep a straight face while the system free-falls.In this episode, I go straight into the latest round of economic chaos, political theater, and national absurdity — no corporate sponsors, no sanitized takes, just me, a mic, and a reality check that doesn't flinch.You might nod, laugh, or yell into the void. I do all three. That's what happens when the news cycle feels like a demolition derby with a clown car grand marshal.It's Friday so YES, News from the Edge of Sanity returns — featuring moments so off-the-rails they'll make you question geography, basic logic, and possibly the existence of laws.Whether you're listening in your car, on a walk, or hiding from the world in your laundry room — thanks for tuning in.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThis episode rips into a billionaire's power grab disguised as justice, pulling back the curtain on how much damage one lawsuit can do when it's meant to intimidate instead of win. It looks like a simple headline, but behind it is a tactic designed to scare reporters, drain newsrooms, and break the media one lawsuit at a time.Meanwhile, a scandal that refuses to stay buried is getting a fresh coat of revisionist paint — and yes, there's even a bizarre “stolen women” twist you'll have to hear to believe. The past is being rewritten in real time — not to clarify, but to erase.And while the noise machine keeps everyone distracted, a quiet move in D.C. is threatening to dismantle one of the last safeguards holding the system together: the judiciary. It's not flashy, but it could change the balance of power for decades.Finally, across the ocean, an ally is drawing a line in the sand that could upend decades of U.S. foreign policy. If it holds, it will test not just alliances but America's credibility on the world stage.This isn't a roundup. It's a red flag.Exploit the chaos, rewrite the facts, and test how much more the public will take.Please Read…I've been doing A World Gone Mad three times a week for over a year — 130 episodes and counting.No ads.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThey called it a “deal.”Trump called it a win.But when you threaten the global economy, then dial the threat down and pat yourself on the back — is that really leadership, or just arson followed by applause?This episode dives headfirst into the latest trade chaos with the EU — a self-inflicted mess that somehow turned into a press release celebration. What was promised, what was threatened, and who's going to pay for the clean-up? The answers aren't on cable news — but they are here.Meanwhile, someone else is making headlines again — Ghislaine Maxwell.Yes, Epstein's Maxwell.She's not just filing paperwork. She's checking the weather. Testing the air. Seeing if the old machine still works. And the courts are just the first stop.If you think that chapter of American scandal was over, think again. There's a reason she's back — and it's not because she enjoys courtroom lighting.And while everyone's busy yelling about apps, books, and viral outrage — something bigger is happening quietly at the EPA. A foundational climate law is being targeted — not rolled back, not weakened — but erased. Not a debate. A deletion.This episode isn't just a roundup. It's a warning shot.Three stories.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWhat if solving homelessness meant hiding it?In this episode of A World Gone Mad, I break down a new federal move that looks more like a political stage play than a solution. It's not about housing. It's not about services. It's about erasure — and the incentives behind it are as disturbing as the strategy itself.There's a plan being rolled out with brutal precision, and if you think it sounds like satire, just wait until you hear who's in charge. Compassion is out. Optics are everything. And once again, the most vulnerable are being weaponized for political gain.Later in this episode, I take a hard swerve into the back alley where reason goes to die — with this week's segment of News from the Edge of Sanity.It's a triple-header of unfiltered absurdity, featuring government failure, bad decisions, and one of the weirdest TSA discoveries you'll ever hear. No spoilers — but this segment might top anything I've covered all month.If you think the country's lost control, you're right — but the details are somehow dumber, darker, and more jaw-dropping than you're imagining.So wherever you are — stuck in traffic, walking off stress, or just hiding from the world in a bathroom stall — thanks for hitting play. This one's worth hearing to the end.AFTER you listen to this episode, please call my voicemail box to get the answer.Listen — and you'll understand.

That's where the real danger lives.This isn't just dysfunction. It's deliberate. It's strategic. And it's getting louder.I'm talking about the vanishing act pulled by the people in power… the recycled rage of Donald Trump… and a machete-wielding Florida man radicalized by an AI chatbot.What comes next isn't chaos — it's choreography.The exits are planned, the deflections are timed, and the silence? That's the loudest part.Because when power feels the heat, it doesn't come clean.It just changes the subject… and leaves the building.Want to rant back? Reach me at madworldtalk@gmail.com or call 833-399-9653 FREE VoicemailRemember, in a world gone mad, staying informed is your best defense.I've been doing A World Gone Mad for well over a year, three times a week — 127 episodes and counting — with ZERO ads, just truth. Please…If you want to help me grow this thing, I've launched a Ko-fi page.Five dollars makes a difference.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThis episode has everything: corruption in a robe, nostalgia soaked in racism, teenagers deep-frying themselves for minimum wage, and a former president playing dictator cosplay like it's open mic night at Gitmo.I didn't plan for it to go this far — but apparently, America did.I'm not saying we've officially jumped the shark… but the shark just filed a restraining order.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWSome weeks feel like satire is just a transcription service. I sat down to record this episode and realized I wasn't writing a show — I was taking notes on a meltdown.There's a moment when a political party turns inward, jaws wide open, and starts chewing its own. That moment isn't just noise — it's a warning siren dressed like a press release. And in this episode, I couldn't ignore what it says about where we are… and where we're headed.I'm not recycling headlines or regurgitating takes you've already heard coming from other popular podcasts. I'm pulling at the threads no one wants to touch — the ones that reveal how performance has replaced principle, and how outrage is now a loyalty test with no answer key.If you're looking for a show that pretends everything is normal, this isn't it. I'm not smoothing the edges or comforting anyone with platitudes. I'm following the chaos where it actually leads — into the rooms where decisions get made, undone, and set on fire before breakfast.What happens when transparency becomes betrayal? When certain apps decide who gets heard and who vanishes? When a “fix” is just a rebrand of the same old scam? Yeah — I go there.This episode is for anyone watching the headlines and thinking: “Wait… am I the only one seeing this?” No, you're not. And no, you're not crazy. You're just living in a world gone mad.I've been doing A World Gone Mad three times a week — 124 episodes and counting — with zero ads, just truth.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWAnother week, another avalanche of headlines that make you question whether anyone's steering the ship. In this full-throttle episode of: A WORLD GONE MAD, Jeff Alan Wolf dives headfirst into the strange theater of American politics, peeling back the polished surfaces to expose what's really being presented to the public — and what's quietly being hidden.From carefully curated narratives to the quiet exodus of those once tasked with defending them, Jeff connects the dots between spin, silence, and the uncomfortable truths hiding in plain sight. It's a ride through the absurd, the manipulative, and the downright insulting — all filtered through the lens of someone who's seen enough to know better, but still hasn't stopped hoping for more.If you've ever looked at a press conference, a late-breaking headline, or a political performance and thought: “Wait Is This Real Life?”This episode is for you.So grab your coffee, punch a pillow hard in advance, and prepare for a breakdown of the week's most infuriating stagecraft — told with wit, clarity, and zero patience for nonsense.Oh — and if you're still listening by the end, you might just hear something worth acting on.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

But the last few days had other plans. So I begin where I need to — and end somewhere a little less flammable.This isn't just news — it's survival commentary.Not the headlines designed to panic you, but the ones that slip under your skin without warning. The absurd, the real, the quietly unhinged. You won't hear these moments repeated on cable news.I hit the tipping points and the twisted ones.From policy to parody, I hold a mirror to the week — and dare it to blink.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWSomething cracked this week. Maybe it was the system. Maybe it was your spine trying to keep up with it. Either way, welcome to the second episode of my new format — where the news isn't just broken, it's actively bleeding out.You know those moments when reality glitches so hard, you check your phone twice just to make sure it's not satire? I've got several. Back to back. No commercial breaks. Just one surreal headline after another, strung together like Christmas lights in a burning house.The old rules don't apply anymore — assuming there were rules. Every institution meant to protect you is now being pressure-tested like a collapsing lung. And the people pulling the levers? Let's just say we're not exactly sending our best.This week, I dive face-first into a political mood swing so severe, it should come with a prescription. International chaos, domestic absurdity, bureaucratic sabotage, and a surprise twist that feels like it was written by an intern having a nervous breakdown.Some stories get coverage. Others get buried. Some protests make the news. Others disappear like a bad memory. I'm here to shine a light on the ones they'd rather you scroll past — or never hear about at all.No safe spaces. No summaries. Just you, me, a microphone, and whatever's left of the truth after the dust clears. If you're new here, buckle in. If you've been listening… you already know better.This is A World Gone Mad.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWAmerica celebrated Independence Day with fireworks and barbecues, but behind the festivities, a political bombshell was detonating in Washington. While you were checking the doneness on your burgers, House Republicans passed what Trump calls a "big, beautiful bill”.This massive bill guts our Democracy.The timing was no accident. Passed during a major holiday when public attention was diverted, this legislation represents a calculated attempt to reshape American governance while citizens were distracted by celebrations. As the firework smoke clears and the reality of this bill comes into focus, a sobering truth emerges: democracy isn't fueled by symbolic displays and patriotic slogans—it requires constant vigilance, especially when those in power are counting on your distraction. Listen as I unpack what happened while America was celebrating, and what it means for our collective future when the holiday weekend ends.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

This shocking breakdown of institutional respect serves as the centerpiece of a week filled with disturbing developments that signal an accelerating erosion of democratic norms and constitutional guardrails.Against the backdrop of Trump's military parade on his 79th birthday, millions gather in "No Kings" rallies across all fifty states, their voices rising in unified concern about the nation's authoritarian drift. Meanwhile, a provision buried in the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" threatens to strip federal courts of their ability to hold government officials accountable., while the Department of Justice reinterprets century-old law to allow presidents to completely revoke national monument designations!Congressional ethics face further scrutiny as over a dozen lawmakers execute hundreds of stock trades during market turmoil.Most alarming is the administration's plan to dismantle FEMA entirely after hurricane season.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWA disturbing power struggle unfolds as Trump orders military forces into Los Angeles without state approval, marking the first such action in 60 years. Federal troops—including 2,000 National Guard and 700 Marines—deployed to quell immigration protests, bypassing Governor Newsom in a move California officials call "illegal and immoral."Constitutional questions loom large as California files suit against the federal government. The deployment tests the boundaries of the Posse Comitatus Act and presidential authority during civil unrest.What's happening in Los Angeles represents more than a protest response—it's a test of America's constitutional framework and the balance between federal authority and state sovereignty. Subscribe now for ongoing coverage of this developing situation and join the conversation about preserving democratic norms during times of civil unrest.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWhen titans clash, everyone feels the tremors. The explosive feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has rapidly devolved from policy disagreement to personal vendetta. This isn't just entertainment—it's a seismic shift in American power dynamics with real-world consequences, including Tesla's staggering $152 billion market value loss in a single day.Through a detailed timeline spanning June 2-6, 2025, I track how a seemingly minor criticism of Trump's "one big beautiful bill" ignited a firestorm that House Speaker Mike Johnson ominously described with "nobody challenges Trump without consequences." This "full-on GOP civil war" exposes deep fractures between conservative populists and libertarian-leaning technologists, forcing Republicans and Silicon Valley leaders alike to choose sides in a conflict that could reshape American politics and business.But amid this high-stakes drama between powerful men behaving like children, actual children are showing us a better way. These contrasting images leave us with a powerful question: as democracy hangs in the balance in a world that sometimes seems to have gone mad, who truly deserves our attention and admiration—billionaires throwing tantrums or children quietly changing their communities through simple acts of kindness?AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWFear has a face, and for many Americans, it's wearing a political mask. As my listeners share their raw, unfiltered experiences following Trump's return to office, a tapestry of anxiety emerges that extends far beyond policy disagreements into the fabric of everyday life.Through powerful testimonials collected from my podcast listeners, I uncover the real-world impacts of our divided political landscape.One listener worries about skyrocketing utility bills due to natural gas export policies, while another lives in daily fear of losing benefits as she watches "peaceful people rounded up and deported without due process." These aren't abstract concerns – they're the lived realities reshaping how Americans view their future and security.Perhaps most heartbreaking are the fractured relationships left in the wake of political division. One listener can no longer discuss politics with her adult children, creating a painful family rift. Another has lost contact with her sister-in-law entirely. Across the country, holiday tables will sit half-empty as politics determines who remains in our inner circles. Never in the history of our country has there been such a divisive person like Trump!!The psychological toll is equally concerning. One of my listeners admits "the daily chaos is bad for my mental health," while yet another experiences what she describes as "daily emotional trauma." These emotional wounds reflect a deeper national anxiety about the direction of democracy itself, with concerns ranging from local issues to global stability – as our international listeners remind us that American politics creates ripple effects worldwide.Even those standing up against political extremism face difficult choices, as demonstrated by a Democratic Facebook group administrator who, despite supporting my podcast's message, feared association with me might jeopardize his entire group.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWAmerica hangs in the balance as we navigate a dizzying array of political upheavals. The judicial system appears increasingly politicized, with courts issuing contradictory rulings on presidential actions nearly every day. A court decision pausing Trump's tariffs was overturned within 24 hours, leaving citizens and businesses in limbo while our economic future swings wildly with each ruling.The White House continues generating controversy through questionable appointments and policy reversals. Elon Musk's departure from the administration, RFK Jr.'s problematic health report, and Kristi Noem's misinterpretation of habeas corpus highlight the troubling competency issues within leadership circles. Most concerning is Trump's erratic approach to China trade policy, swinging from imposing 145% tariffs to reducing them to 30%, only to threaten escalation again days later when claiming China "violated an agreement" without specifying which one.Yet amid this political darkness, stories of resilience offer hope.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWDemocracy hangs in the balance as Trump's second term unfolds through executive orders and policy reversals that fundamentally alter America's relationship with education, business, and the world at large.Harvard University stands at the forefront of resistance, challenging the administration's attempt to ban international students through what the university calls "clear retaliation" for exercising First Amendment rights. While a federal judge has temporarily halted this ban, the case exemplifies growing tensions between academic freedom and executive authority.Meanwhile, American consumers face mounting challenges as Trump drops lawsuits against companies like Boeing and Capital One that the previous administration had pursued for alleged consumer abuses. "They've never seen a business practice they didn't approve of," notes one advocate, highlighting how protective guardrails are being systematically dismantled.The economic consequences of "America First" policies become increasingly apparent, with analysts warning that domestically manufactured iPhones could triple in price to $3,500 if Trump forces Apple's production stateside. His threat of a "straight 50% tariff" against the European Union further showcases his preference for economic strong-arming over diplomatic negotiation, proudly declaring "I'm not looking for a deal."Perhaps most revealing is the record surge of Americans applying for UK citizenship since Trump began his second term – a 12% jump that mirrors a similar spike during his first presidency. While these developments unfold, small acts of community kindness shine through, like the Iranian immigrant dry cleaner offering free services to job seekers, reminding us of the generosity and hope that persists despite political turmoil.How will these policies reshape America's place in the world and affect your daily life? Listen now to understand what's at stake and why preserving democratic values matters more than ever.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThe clash between diplomacy and bullying takes center stage as Donald Trump meets with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. Rather than engaging in thoughtful dialogue, Trump resorts to displaying unsubstantiated claims of white genocide—a testament to his heavy-handed approach to international relations. Meanwhile, ethical concerns swirl around Trump's acceptance of a Qatar jet, highlighting a troubling disregard for traditional presidential boundaries.Behind the scenes of Capitol Hill, chaos reigns as Republicans remain deadlocked over a major tax and spending bill. The self-proclaimed fiscal conservatives openly admit the legislation would add trillions to the deficit, yet many still support it simply because it bears Trump's name. This hypocrisy reveals how principled governance has given way to political expediency, leaving meaningful policy discussions in the dust.The wealth gap in America has reached staggering proportions. Wait until you hear what the top 10 richest people in America make!Amid this troubling news, a heartwarming story emerges of a woman who once feared dogs but something changed her opinion.Contact me with your thoughts and reactions—I'd love to hear from you! Until Friday's episode, stay hopeful despite the madness surrounding us.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWAmerica stands at a crossroads of political turmoil and economic uncertainty. The Supreme Court has temporarily halted President Trump's controversial attempt to use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act for expedited deportations of Venezuelan immigrants, marking a significant setback to his immigration agenda. Though the ruling offers momentary relief, the underlying battle continues across multiple federal courts, highlighting the ongoing tension between executive power and judicial oversight in our democracy.Meanwhile, Republican infighting threatens to derail Trump's legislative priorities as GOP hardliners defy both the former president and House leadership by blocking his self-described "one big, beautiful bill" in a critical committee vote. These conservative holdouts demand deeper cuts to Medicaid and clean energy programs, creating a political headache for Speaker Mike Johnson who must somehow appease the right wing without alienating moderates whose support is equally crucial. The rebellion exposes the fragility of Republican unity despite Trump's dominance over the party.Perhaps most concerning for everyday Americans, Moody's Ratings has downgraded the United States' debt, stripping the country of its last perfect credit rating after maintaining AAA status since 1917. This downgrade, following similar moves by S&P and Fitch in previous years, reflects growing alarm about America's ballooning deficits and political dysfunction. The timing couldn't be worse, as Trump's proposed legislative package would add approximately $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, potentially increasing borrowing costs for everything from mortgages to car loans. Amid this political and economic turbulence, scientific research offers an unexpected respite—Japanese gardens specifically designed to encourage wandering gazes have been shown to reduce stress and improve mood, a small but welcome reminder that solutions to our modern anxieties might be found in ancient wisdom.Join me each episode as I navigate these challenging times. Share your thoughts at  resistdonaldnow@gmail.com, and help keep our democratic conversation alive during a world gone mad. AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWDemocracy teeters on the edge while a child reminds us what truly matters. The latest news stories finds me reflecting on both disturbing political developments and moments of hope that keep us grounded.The news cycle continues its alarming trajectory as Trump embraces former jihadist Ahmed al-Sharra, Syria's interim president who once had a $10 million US bounty on his head. During their "historic" meeting, Trump heaped praise on the former terrorist, this pattern of embracing questionable figures underscores a troubling approach to international relations.Meanwhile, Qatar's gift of a luxury 747 jet raises profound ethical and security concerns. The multi-million dollar present, reportedly approved by Attorney General Pam Bondi (who previously lobbied for Qatar), could potentially serve as the new Air Force One. Beyond the ethical implications of accepting such lavish gifts from foreign powers, significant security vulnerabilities exist. Can we trust that this aircraft won't contain surveillance devices while transporting the most powerful person in the world?The potential suspension of habeas corpus perhaps presents the most alarming development. When DHS Secretary Kristi Noem suggests constitutional requirements have been met to suspend this foundational legal protection – while admitting she's "not a constitutional lawyer" – we witness a casual dismantling of democratic safeguards. Combined with Tulsi Gabbard's firing of experienced intelligence professionals, we're seeing institutions hollowed from within.Yet amidst this political chaos, I found solace in five-year-old Max Browning. This young boy's dedication reminds us that wonder, curiosity, and compassion still thrive – perhaps offering the hope we desperately need in these troubling times.Share your thoughts with me at resistdonaldnow@gmail.com and remember to stay hopeful – our collective future depends on it.AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThe resistance grows stronger with each passing day as I witness a world spiraling deeper into madness. From international conflicts to domestic power grabs, episode 99 of "A World Gone Mad" delivers powerful insights into news stories that demand our attention.Donald Trump's "joke" about wanting to become the next Pope might seem like harmless banter on the surface, but it reveals a troubling pattern of an individual obsessed with accumulating power by any means necessary. Even in jest, his words expose an authoritarian mindset that continues to threaten democratic institutions worldwide.More alarmingly, nuclear-armed neighbors India and Pakistan stand at the precipice of wider conflict after India launched strikes targeting what they described as "terrorist infrastructure" in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
