In this rollicking episode of The Liberty Den, a rotating crew of Badlands Media hosts dive into a sprawling discussion that zigzags from personal ice maker obsessions to conspiracies worthy of a thriller. The group debates the rumored showdown between Dan Bongino, Kash Patel, and Pam Bondi, weighing whether it's genuine infighting or political theater designed to confuse and distract. They break down John Solomon's bombshell reporting about an ongoing criminal conspiracy case tracing back to Russiagate, Hillary Clinton, and the CIA, all the way to the 2020 election and beyond. The conversation shifts into theories about timing, the possibility of a RICO case encompassing years of misconduct, and what mass accountability could look like. Amid the heavy topics, there's plenty of irreverent banter about Bitcoin as the unstoppable plan, band camp confessions, pickleball firefighting, and a few tongue-in-cheek product pitches. By the end, the hosts muse about whether public spectacle and reality TV might be the only way to root out corruption once and for all.

Jon Herold is the owner and founder of Badlands Media, which has become a formidable brand in the new media landscape. The author of the well-known anthology of essays on continuity of government, known as the Devolution series, I would like to see what Jon thinks about our current condition as a culture, and expand that into how New Media is already being forced into new evolutionary directions.

In this introspective episode, Frankie Val sits down with Badlands Media founder Jon Herold for a candid discussion about the triumphs and pitfalls of the alternative media world. They trace the rise of new platforms and the pressures that come with monetization, including the relentless grind to produce content and the echo chambers that breed both tribalism and burnout. Jon shares behind-the-scenes stories of building Badlands, from battling suppression and shadow banning on every major platform to launching the Great American Restoration Tour as a way to reconnect people offline. The two dissect the viral backlash to Trump's curt dismissal of Epstein questions and debate whether the memo “rug pull” was a deliberate op to fracture the movement or simply more evidence of systemic opacity. They also explore how clickbait culture and algorithm incentives have hollowed out genuine inquiry, replacing curiosity with perpetual outrage. From personal anecdotes about navigating online smear campaigns to reflections on what audiences really want, community, honest dialogue, and time away from the doom cycle, this episode offers a thoughtful look at where independent media is heading and why it still matters.

In this unfiltered episode of OnlyLands, a full Badlands Media panel gathers for nearly three hours of irreverent banter and intense debate. The crew starts with a rundown of the chaos surrounding Epstein narratives, questioning why the DOJ insists there's no credible client list and unpacking the fallout across the movement. They analyze Trump's dismissive remarks and argue whether the timing of the memo release was designed to provoke outrage or distraction. The conversation dives into parallel theories about blackmail as leverage over global leaders and whether hidden evidence will ever surface. In between serious discussions, there's no shortage of humor—roasts about fashion choices, references to Mount Rushmore as a misogynistic symbol, and a nostalgic watch of Dave Chappelle's “Race Draft.” The group explores why people still treat old Q drops like gospel, what “transparency” really means, and how moral lines are drawn when fighting systemic corruption. With digressions into John Kasich's pancake eating, Biden impressions, and the ethics of political blackmail, this episode balances skepticism, dark comedy, and genuine frustration over the illusions propping up American institutions.

In this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon unpacks the House showdown over Trump's sweeping tax and spending bill, detailing how the Senate's version gutted major promises like eliminating taxes on tips and overtime by imposing strict income limits. He covers Hakeem Jeffries' marathon floor speech that set a new record, the backroom deals that secured Republican votes, and why the bill still falls short of delivering true tax relief. Jon also spotlights June's remarkable jobs report, with native-born employment soaring while foreign-born numbers fell sharply, marking what he calls a “domestic labor renaissance.” Other stories include Microsoft laying off thousands of American workers in favor of H1B visa hires, the Supreme Court taking up a case on transgender athletes in school sports, new US concessions to China on semiconductor exports, and a fresh look at the White House's payroll. Jon wraps up with lively chat commentary, reflections on four years of the Devolution series, and a preview of Badlands Media's Independence Day programming.

In this freewheeling episode of OnlyLands, a rotating cast of Badlands Media hosts gathers to dissect the week's most surreal headlines. The show kicks off with an irreverent breakdown of Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill,” exploring how its massive spending and rushed negotiations have become a high-stakes reality show of amendments, line-item veto theories, and performative deadlines. The crew debates whether the bill is a genuine achievement or a carefully orchestrated trap to expose politicians' allegiances. They then pivot to the viral spectacle of “Alligator Alcatraz,” the Florida detention facility rumored to be surrounded by a reptile-filled moat. After examining photos and debunking AI-generated images, the panel concludes the moat is more marketing than menace, and probably designed to drive narrative warfare. The conversation meanders through tales of pilot season in Hollywood, the AI future of scripted content, and whether robots will someday replace soccer players and talk show hosts alike. With plenty of tangents on Faraday siding, Tiger King jokes, and the irony of government narratives, this episode is part cultural roast, part geopolitical therapy session, and all Badlands.

They unpack how ICE's limited manpower creates a psychological operation of fear that's emptying stadiums and causing mass self-deportations. The conversation drifts into hilarious personal tales, including Zak's teenage prom photos in a leisure suit and chain wallet, debates about gator cuisine, and the surprisingly wholesome origins of Florida's iguana hunting scene. From mainstream media pedo arrests to nostalgia over bad ‘90s action movies, this episode is equal parts cultural roast and community check-in. The hosts wrap up with plans for Deadwood, reflections on shadow governments, and a toast to the enduring spirit of Badlandia.

The conversation then shifts to vaccine-related revelations and lawsuits, with members dropping receipts on injury data, Big Pharma corruption, and the unspoken damage now surfacing through mainstream cracks.

As always, the hosts blend irreverent banter with sharp commentary, reminding listeners that while the establishment doubles down, the truth keeps leaking through.

The episode opens with a bombshell: Badlands Media has officially added Bitcoin to its strategic reserves, rejecting fiat dependency to assert financial sovereignty. Matta shares his personal evolution, from Bitcoin YouTuber to whistleblower journalist, exposing government-backed child trafficking networks and the cover-ups that surround them.

In this chaotic and hilariously sharp episode of OnlyLands, a full house of Badlands Media hosts dives into the bizarre spectacle of Rep. Nancy Mace's congressional "reveal" and the broader implications of performative politics. What starts as jokes about Nancy Mace's topless threat quickly morphs into a fiery debate over weaponized victimhood, gender-based stunts, and the cynical manipulation of public platforms for personal gain. The crew questions whether justice is being served, or if the entire thing is just another distraction from building the Golden Age. From silly poop games and marketing fire pits to philosophical rants on the Second Amendment, taxation, energy sovereignty, and narrative warfare, this episode barrels through every topic under the sun, including General Kwast's Space Force strategy, helium-3 mining, and why Congress might be beyond saving. GMoney gets fired up over Bitcoin and the system's failure to deliver justice, while others call for discernment, courage, and community-driven truth-seeking. It's absurd, profound, unfiltered, and full of laughs, and that's exactly what OnlyLands was made for.

In this high-stakes meeting, President Trump hosts South African President Cyril Ramaphosa at the White House for a wide-ranging and at times tense discussion on trade, investment, and escalating violence against white farmers in South Africa. The conversation pivots from golf diplomacy to accusations of land seizures, political incitement, and genocide. Trump confronts Ramaphosa with graphic footage and statistics, while Ramaphosa urges renewed partnership, denies government-endorsed persecution, and emphasizes shared goals for peace, growth, and crime reduction. Both leaders ultimately agree on the need for open dialogue, economic collaboration, and mutual investment heading into South Africa's G20 presidency.

In Part 2 of this historic visit to Qatar, President Trump delivers a wide-ranging address filled with bold diplomacy, major defense deals, and a vision for global realignment through strength and sovereignty. Speaking before U.S. troops and Qatari allies, Trump celebrates the largest aircraft and military hardware orders in Boeing and GE history, praises the lifting of sanctions on Syria, and outlines efforts to secure peace between Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Iran. Trump recounts his surprise nighttime visit to Iraq that led to the swift defeat of ISIS, shares updates on negotiations with Iran and Ukraine, and reflects on America's return to global respect. With a trillion-dollar defense budget, a record-setting recruitment surge, and new investments flooding into the U.S., Trump reaffirms a doctrine of “peace through strength” and calls for America-first leadership in trade, security, and industry. Closing with a salute to the military and a surprise tribute to cultural allies like Theo Von and Lee Greenwood, this event marks a defining moment in Trump's second-term foreign policy reset and the rebirth of U.S. leadership in the Gulf region.

In Episode 7 of OnlyLands, a lively lineup of Badlands Media hosts takes on the week's most outrageous headlines, from Trump's royal welcome in Saudi Arabia to Jake Tapper's “Original Sin” book and the implosion of the Biden coverup narrative. The crew dissects Trump's purple-carpeted entrance in Riyadh, reads the symbolism, and compares the treatment of Trump vs. Biden by MBS, complete with horses, fanfare, and “Enter Sandman” conspiracy theories. The panel takes a hard turn into the culture war with a deep dive into James Lindsay and Seth Dillon's “woke right” narrative. They rip into the op as a controlled opposition psyop designed to gatekeep MAGA thought and shield the regime from criticism. What starts as a rant on intellectual frauds turns into a brutal takedown of Babylon Bee hypocrisy, the Ron DeSantis simp brigade, and the rise of anti-questioning orthodoxy disguised as conservatism. Also on the docket: South African farmer refugees, awkward Elon claps, Mandela effect rabbit holes, and the absolute demolition of Chuck Todd's attempt to memory-hole Biden's decline. It's conspiratorial, hilarious, and brutal, in other words, peak OnlyLands.
