Lewis Herms, running for governor of California in 2026, exposes the hidden architecture of government corruption, election integrity failures, geoengineering programs, and intelligence-linked influence networks shaping Hollywood and California politics in episode 229 of Far Out with Faust.Lewis Herms is a political outsider, researcher, and grassroots organizer known for his work in the truther community and for challenging the systems he believes drive corruption across California and the United States. His investigations span human trafficking pipelines, intelligence-agency influence, media manipulation, and the structural failures in homelessness and child welfare. As a 2026 gubernatorial candidate, Herms advocates for sovereignty, transparency, and community-driven solutions — arguing that Californians already have the power to reclaim their state from entrenched political interests.In this conversation, Faust and Lewis explore the systems, narratives, and power structures that Herms believes shape political reality in California and beyond. Their discussion moves through the hidden mechanisms he's spent years investigating — from institutional corruption to media influence and public perception — and why Herms argues that sovereignty, transparency, and critical thinking are the only paths to meaningful change.In this episode:- The CIA-adjacent intelligence web tying Hefner, MK Ultra, and Hollywood influence- The Green Acres mansion details that reshaped Herms' view of covert operations- Adrenochrome symbolism and the repeating patterns he sees in elite culture- Media conditioning and the power of narrative repetition- Why election integrity depends on simple, transparent systems- Geoengineering and decades of weather-modification programs- Smart meters and the environmental anomalies Herms tracks- The Maui and California wildfires through his alternative investigative lens- Physics-based analysis and why he questions official 9/11 narratives- Homelessness and child-welfare failures driven by systemic incentives- The two-party trap and how it keeps Californians divided- The rise of grassroots sovereignty movements across the state- How narrative deprogramming fuels real personal and political freedomChapters00:00:00 Ron Burkle, P.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - A new study found that Northern Resident Killer Whales and Pacific white-sided dolphins have formed a cooperative hunting relationship to catch Chinook salmon in the Johnson Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound. The dolphins utilize echolocation to locate fish at depth, but their small teeth are designed primarily to grip prey, and they cannot swallow large species like Chinook salmon whole. Instead, dolphins locate the fish, and then wait for the killer whales move in to tear them apart, scattering bits of tissue and flesh into the water. Dr. Andrew Trites, a professor and director of the Marine Mammal Research Unit at UBC's Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries, explained, “The dolphins are getting leftovers, but that seems to be reward enough, so there's no competition for what is ultimately killed. Everybody comes out a winner.” This was the first time Customized Animal Tracking Solutions Tags (CATS) were used on whales and allowed the researchers to collect 3D kinematic data with video and acoustics, continuously recording high-resolution dive data, along with vocalizations and feeding-related sounds. “ This tag has got a video recorder. It's got a hydrophone. It's listening for all the calls that are being made by the killer whales, but it's also recording dolphin calls as we discover. It has a depth sensor so we know what depth the whale is at. It's got three-dimensional accelerometers. So we can reconstruct all the swimming movements of the whale, whether it turns or heads down or heads up. It does water temperature as well. So it's a very sophisticated fitbit that was designed to be put onto marine life, such as Killer Whales.” “All of my life I've seen whales from a boat, with a camera in hand or binoculars. Here we're getting a bird's-eye view with a drone, which others have used before, but for the first time, we got the orca eye view of what's really going on, and that changes everything, to see the world as the killer whales experience it.” Trites suspects but does not know if killer whales and dolphins cooperate in the same manner around Cortes, Read, and Quadra Islands. “ I don't know how frequently you see white-sided dolphins around Cortes. There is a resident population of white-sided dolphins living in the Salish Sea. I don't know much about their distribution and whether or not those dolphins behave the same as the ones that are up in Johnson Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound. Certainly, the northern residents that are going to your area know how to work with dolphins. The question is whether or not the dolphins in your area know how to hang out and work cooperatively with northern residents.” Initially, the research team believed these dolphins were harassing Southern Resident Killer Whales, but this perception changed after Keith Holmes, a drone pilot with the Hakai Institute, observed their interactions. He noted, “From above, you could see this incredible amount of activity. It was clear that there was some sort of communication happening, and they were actively foraging together,” as stated in the UBC press release. Dr. Sarah Fortune, the lead author and Canadian Wildlife Federation Chair in Large Whale Conservation, emphasized the significance of these observations by saying, “We've long known that resident killer whales interact with Pacific white-sided dolphins, but seeing them dive and hunt in sync with dolphins completely changes our understanding of what those encounters mean.”

This segment tackles the biggest issues and the wildest contrasts of the day. CNN anchor Elex Michaelson joins the show to dive into the question everyone is asking — how do we actually eliminate homelessness? He also opens up about the intense workload and pressure that comes with hosting a national news program and staying plugged into the biggest stories in the country. The mood lightens as engineer Tony Sorrentino reveals a King Kong pinball machine that proves nostalgia doesn’t come cheap. Back on the local front, businesses are left scrambling after the sudden announcement that the longtime Fontana swap meet is shutting down, sparking a lively discussion about local culture, reputations, and whether Claremont really deserves its “snob” label — and if you know someone who fits it. The hour wraps with a holiday reality check as Christmas arrives in less than two weeks, followed by a deep freeze update from Fargo, North Dakota, currently the coldest spot in the country, with brutal subzero temperatures and wind chills that sound downright uninhabitable.

Donald Trump has taken another swipe at Europe's “weak” leaders over Ukraine and immigration including a special mention for - surprise surprise - Sadiq Khan, who got a shout out for being a “horrible, vicious, disgusting mayor”. Honestly, why is he SO obsessed?!  But a Labour government trying to convince European allies to water down human rights law to deport people faster seems perfectly in line with Trump's vision.

Professor Nicholas Giordano sits down with Mary Theroux, editor of Beyond Homeless: Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes, Transformative Solutions, to expose why billions in government spending have failed to reduce homelessness and how Housing First policies often make the crisis worse. This episode breaks down the astronomical waste, the abysmal return on investment, and the rise of the homelessness industrial complex that thrives as conditions deteriorate. Mary explains why many nonprofits become corrupt when tied to endless government funding, why people sometimes die at higher rates in permanent supportive housing, and why purpose and agency matter far more than free housing. The conversation highlights successful, proven alternatives like Haven for Hope, the dangers of open-air drug markets, the collapse of mental health systems, and the urgent need for community involvement and real accountability. This is a must-listen episode for anyone who wants real solutions to one of America's most devastating problems. Episode Highlights Why massive government spending and Housing First policies have failed and can make homelessness worse How the homelessness industrial complex and corrupt nonprofits profit from crisis while outcomes decline Proven solutions like Haven for Hope and why purpose, accountability, and community involvement are essential to real recovery

Utah is moving forward with a massive 1,300-bed “Homelessness Accountability Center” — a plan supporters call compassionate intervention and critics warn could become a model for coercive control.In this video, we break down the controversy surrounding the proposed mega-facility, its connection to Trump-era homelessness policies, and why civil rights advocates, mental-health professionals, and housing experts are raising alarms. The project signals a sharp shift away from “Housing First” toward enforcement, involuntary commitment, and work-conditioned shelter — with potentially far-reaching consequences.Is this a genuine solution to homelessness, or a dangerous experiment in criminalization and confinement?Who gets helped, who gets harmed, and what does this mean for the future of homelessness policy across the U.S.?

As December temperatures plunge below freezing, it becomes painfully apparent that while churches often advocate for helping the underprivileged, their doors frequently remain closed when it matters most. A homeless man was found dead in Toledo, raising critical questions about why faith-based institutions do not open their doors as warming centers during dire circumstances. With many churches only utilized a few times a week, it seems they could make a meaningful difference during these harsh conditions. Instead, many individuals within the church community have seemingly bought into the stigmatization of the homeless, seeing them as "dirty" or morally culpable rather than as fellow humans deserving of compassion.Then we note the troubling rise of right-wing influence in the media, particularly through a CBS prime-time town hall featuring Erika Kirk, widow of far-right figure Charlie Kirk. The event, moderated by conservative commentator Bari Weiss, is framed as an exploration of grief, faith, and politics. The event is propaganda that perpetuates harmful narratives around women's roles, echoing the anti-feminist sentiments that Charlie Kirk espoused before his death. Erica's position as the new face of Kirk's organization is rife with irony. A former businesswoman, she is now expected to uphold her late husband's regressive vision of womanhood, which discourages career pursuits in favor of traditional domestic roles.We then look at the potential severing of ties between the U.S. military and Scouting America due to the organization's evolving stance on inclusiveness, particularly with the inclusion of girls and LGBTQ+ individuals. The federal government should cut ties, years ago, because the scouts exclude atheists.We also slip in an update on legal developments involving Pastor Chris Avell and his efforts to operate a homeless shelter in his church's complex, in Bryan, Ohio, as he battles local ordinances. The situation raises significant questions about the intersection of religious freedom and public safety.Full Show Notes & Links UsedSend us a textSupport the showSubscribe to our free newsletterCheck out our MerchFollow us on BlueskyFind us on Twitter(for now) Find us on InstagramFind us on Counter SocialFind us on Mastadon

By David Stephen There is a recent article in The Irish Times, Number of homeless people in Ireland reaches new record high in October, stating that, "The number of homeless people in Ireland has reached a new record high of more than 16,700, including more than 5,200 children, latest figures show." Mental Health: Can AI Solve Homelessness in Ireland? "The monthly homeless report from the Department of Housing, published on Friday, shows there were 16,766 people in emergency accommodation during the week of October 20th to the 26th." "That was made up of 11,492 adults and 5,274 children in 2,484 families." "It is an increase on September when there was 11,376 adults and 5,238 children in Homeless Emergency Accommodation, a total of 16,614 people." "In October 2024 the monthly homeless report showed there were 10,321 adults and 4,645 children homeless during the week used to gather data." "From October 2024 to October 2025, there has been an 11.3 per cent increase in the number of homeless adults and a 13.5 per cent increase in the number children." Model Architecture There are a few central necessities to reduce the magnitude of being unhoused: where to sleep at night, where to go or pass the day, where to maintain basic hygiene, where to keep larger bags or possessions and a fair mental health. How can these be provided at scale, starting from a city to the rest of Ireland and beyond? Houseless There are people in different situational strata of homelessness. Some require heavier interventions, while some would be fine with modest intervention. For some, homelessness is coupled with need for meal support, for others there is need for something to do to at least earn or keep busy, then for some there is a drug addiction and sometimes, self-care deterioration. The goal is to have an approach that can scale, where there are so many options that being unhoused is not as impossible as it currently is, for many people in a city and across Ireland. Because of the complexity of the problem, the first segment to solve the problem would be those on the minimal intervention curve. The reason is so that it is easier to make a certain state a standard, towards how to try a bit, while getting help to return to the labor force. Simply, the first set to help will be those that are reachable at a self-care range, such that getting shelter is a track - to get back into society. Although, there would be possibilities for those on the far end of the problem, it will depend on locations that accept them, how much they are willing to adjust, part programs they may participate in to reduce some of the major problems and who is willing to put up funds for them. Scale Locations What places are common everywhere? What places can have parts of their spaces adjusted for the possibility to accommodate a few people, for a few hours? How will it be possible that whatever will required will be made available, for a capped capacity? Also, since there would be various alternatives around, it is possible to make this for fewer people, per location, on certain days a week. Churches are common, schools, gas stations, libraries, social or cultural centers and so forth. Schools and libraries are busy during the day. Gas stations work round the clock. Churches and other religious centers have routine worship hours. There are at least four needs they can fill, where people should sleep at night, where people can go during the day, where they can keep their larger stuff and where they can maintain hygiene for the day. They will also be told to only come with a smaller bag, for the night, not a lot of stuff, to avoid too much packing and unpacking within a short interval. For now, the program will be for adults, mostly. Family homelessness can be partially subsumed. Libraries already make day stay possible, but the goal is to expand options. So, some places can have daily mini-libraries. Others can have partitions in some of their places where valuable facilities a...

Homelessness, as everyone knows, is an extremely complicated emotional issue. Systemic societal barriers along with personal mental health issues can pull or push people into homelessness, and a dearth of affordable housing and needed services can keep them there. The complexity of this issue can be overwhelming and have people, literally walking on by, those struggling. There can exist a feeling that solutions need to come from the government, nonprofits, and our church communities in the form of larger answers. After all, what can one person possibly do to make a difference?Today we are talking with Meghan, a young woman whose life direction took an abrupt and unexpected turn.

Which means trans folks are impacted at a higher rate by new federal policies that target people living in precarious housing situations.

Young men are in freefall — and society's paying the price. Scott Galloway is here to explain the data behind the collapse and offer potential solutions.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1250What We Discuss with Scott Galloway:Young men are experiencing an unprecedented decline, with higher rates of suicide, addiction, homelessness, and incarceration than any other demographic. Yet discussing this crisis triggers reflexive pushback, even though addressing it doesn't diminish the legitimate struggles women and minorities continue to face.When boys lose male role models through death, divorce, or abandonment, the outcomes are devastating. They become more likely to be incarcerated than graduate college, unlike girls, who maintain consistent outcomes in single-parent homes. Boys are neurologically and emotionally more fragile than we've been willing to admit.Elite universities have abandoned their mission as public servants and repositioned themselves as luxury brands, creating artificial scarcity that's pulling up the ladders of opportunity. America's ethos should be watering as many acorns as possible, not sorting teenagers into winners and losers at 18.The three drivers of romantic attraction for men are signaling resources, intellect (best communicated through humor), and kindness — and kindness is the most underleveraged. Women instinctively seek mates who'll protect them during vulnerability — being kind to strangers signals good character far more than being nice to her.Put away the scorecard in your relationships. Stop tracking who gave more and instead ask: what kind of friend, partner, or son do I want to be? The happiest people aren't those who are loved most, but those who find others who let them give the most love.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Dr. Gabrielle Clowdus is the founder of Settled, which helps churches build "Sacred Settlements", tiny home villages on their property where people experiencing homelessness and church members live in community. When she started this work of radical hospitality, she believed it was a homelessness ministry. Today, she believes that it's a ministry to all of us, as we all have some homelessness in us!

Last year, I wrote that it would be very hard to decrease the number of mentally ill homeless people in San Francisco. Commenters argued that no, it would be easy, just build more jails and mental hospitals. A year later, San Francisco feels safer. Visible homelessness is way down. But there wasn't enough time to build many more jails or mental hospitals. So what happened? Were we all wrong? Probably not. I only did a cursory investigation, and this is all low-confidence, but it looks like: There was a big decrease in tent encampments, because a series of court cases made it easier for cities to clear them. Most of the former campers are still homeless. They just don't have tents. There might have been a small decrease in overall homelessness, probably because of falling rents. Mayor Lurie claims to have a Plan To End Homelessness, but it's probably not responsible for the difference. Every city accuses every other city of shipping homeless people across their borders, but this probably doesn't explain most of what's going on in San Francisco in particular. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/what-happened-to-sf-homelessness

The Matt Kim Podcast: Homeless Machete Giveaway, Trump Endorsements, and Central CastingIn this episode of The Matt Kim Podcast, Matt Kim and his co-host Peter Satton dive into a series of controversial and provocative topics. The discussion begins with the idea that the world is a show and everything, including political figures, is staged — a notion famously declared by Trump. They boast about their track record of being consistently right about various issues. The podcast covers a range of subjects, including an update on Matt's life, observations about American entitlement at resorts, and the behavior at buffets. They then jump into heavier topics, such as the ongoing U.S. involvement in Venezuela, characterized as a regime change mission for oil resources, and criticize the military-industrial complex. They touch on domestic radicalization, false flag events, and whether America is more dangerous than other countries like Mexico. This episode also explores the manipulation of social media platforms by foreign entities, the controversial endorsement by Trump in Miami's mayoral race, and a humorous analysis of Trump Vodka and the potential upcoming Trump Phone. The show wraps up with a talk on homelessness, Japanese internet memes about America's fentanyl crisis, and the idea of arming the homeless with machetes. Enjoy this unpredictable mix of humor, satire, and critical social commentary.Timestamps02:14 Travel Stories and Observations03:03 American Entitlement at Resorts07:41 Cultural Critiques and International Travel11:28 Venezuela Conflict and US Involvement17:08 Radicalization and Domestic Issues24:14 Mass Shootings and Gun Violence in America42:14 Social Media Manipulation and Foreign Influence51:38 Marjorie Taylor Greene's Resignation and Trump's Reaction53:17 Candace Owens and the Conspiracy Theories54:42 The Entertainment Value of Political Figures58:30 Online Gambling and Its Legal Issues01:06:10 Trump's Various Business Ventures01:16:25 The Political Landscape and Trump's Endorsements01:31:10 Homelessness and Controversial Solutions01:36:09 International Perception of America's Drug Crisis====================================Support the show~Join the Free Thinker Army!https://www.patreon.com/c/freemattkim====================================The ONLY VPN that can't spy on you.https://vp.net/mattHang out here~!soj.ooO https://soj.ooo/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4rC0QxBD1eRPKMHIIpL0vA/joinDonate!https://www.mattkimpodcast.com/support/FREE THINKER ARMY DISCORD:https://discord.gg/2juHnR6DPzTELEGRAM EDIT ZONE:https://t.me/+IV-skn-OXyw1MTcxFollow Matt!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattattack009/Twitter: https://twitter.com/FreeMattKimRumble: https://rumble.com/c/FreeMattKimTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@freemattkimFollow Peter on X:Twitter: https://x.com/AgilePeterBusiness Inquiries Please Email mattkimpodcast@protonmail.com
