SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWJeff Alan Wolf is in a weird Wednesday mood, and this edition of A World Gone Mad takes a decidedly different turn. It's shorter, more relaxed and a little experimental, while still finding plenty in the news worth talking about.Karoline Leavitt is leaving the Trump White House, bringing another change to an administration that rarely seems to stay quiet for long. Mike Lindell, the pillow guy, is also back in the headlines following his latest venture into politics.Then there's the LA Lakers. A massive reported deal involving A Kushner has Jeff's attention for reasons extending well beyond basketball. When politics collides with a team he's followed for more than half a century, there are a few things he needs to get off his chest.But the biggest part of this short episode may have nothing to do with Washington or sports. Jeff has a personal request for the WolfPack, especially those listening across the United States and around the world, and this time he's hoping they'll actually answer the call.How far does A World Gone Mad really reach? Jeff has come up with a decidedly old-school way of finding out, but he can't do it without the people on the other side of the microphone.It's a different kind of A World Gone Mad: a little news, a little politics, a little basketball, and a much more personal conversation between Jeff and the WolfPack.Subscribe to A World Gone Mad with Jeff Alan Wolf for independent news commentary that looks beyond today's headlines to the bigger forces shaping American democracy.Looking for more independent news commentary and original articles?Visit Jeff's Substack.https://open.substack.com/pub/jeffalanwolfAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWJeff Alan Wolf really didn't want to do this episode. Not because there wasn't enough news, but because American politics increasingly feels like the same infuriating show on an endless loop…power, retaliation, investigations, outrage and politicians who seem far more interested in settling scores than actually governing.This episode of A World Gone Mad is different. It's less a collection of headlines and more a rallying cry about what happens when Congress and Washington turn political power into a weapon, constitutional principles become negotiable, and governing takes a back seat to finding the next enemy.The latest fight involving Dr. Anthony Fauci, Senator Rand Paul, contempt of Congress and the Fifth Amendment becomes one example of a much larger question…Do constitutional rights still mean the same thing when they're protecting someone your political side despises?But Jeff's anger goes well beyond Fauci. Congress has enormous power, enormous resources and enormous responsibility. So why does so much of American government increasingly resemble a gigantic grievance department while ordinary Americans are worrying about healthcare, housing, Social Security, groceries, insurance and simply keeping the bills paid?Jeff's angry. But this is still A World Gone Mad, which means the frustration comes wrapped in the sarcasm, humor and slightly warped observations that have always been part of the show. Because sometimes the only way to make sense of the madness is to laugh at just how absurd it's become.This isn't a left-versus-right argument. It's an angry demand for something that shouldn't be remotely controversial: consistency, restraint, responsibility and leaders who remember that governing the United States is supposed to be about more than revenge.Jeff is pissed off. And by the end of this episode, the bigger question may be whether more Americans should be too.Subscribe to A World Gone Mad with Jeff Alan Wolf for independent news commentary that looks beyond today's headlines to the bigger forces shaping American democracy.Looking for more independent news commentary and original articles?Visit Jeff's Substack.https://open.substack.com/pub/jeffalanwolfAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWhat happens when political principles collide with political survival, presidential power runs into constitutional limits, and one of the world's most important military alliances confronts a question nobody wants answered the hard way?Jeff Alan Wolf looks at the growing political drama surrounding Todd Blanche and the Republican senators who could determine his future as attorney general. Senator's Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski have each taken positions that raise a larger question about Washington: When politicians talk about principle, how much of what we're hearing is conviction, and how much is calculation?Donald Trump's controversial $400 million White House ballroom is back in the courts, and the latest development could have implications reaching far beyond one enormous construction project. The fight over the White House raises a fundamental question about presidential power, Congress and just how much freedom any president should have to reshape the People's House.Then there's Vladimir Putin, NATO and Article 5. A recent U.S. intelligence assessment raises an unsettling possibility about what Putin may be considering and why the real objective might have less to do with winning a conventional war than discovering whether NATO's most important promise is as strong as its members say it is.For more than 75 years, NATO deterrence has depended on potential adversaries believing that an attack against one member means confronting the entire alliance. But what happens when an adversary starts wondering whether everybody would actually keep that promise when keeping it suddenly becomes dangerous?In this episode of A World Gone Mad, Jeff digs beneath the headlines to examine political loyalty in Washington, the boundaries of presidential authority and a potential challenge to NATO that could carry consequences far beyond Europe. The questions are already uncomfortable. The answers could be considerably more so.Subscribe to A World Gone Mad with Jeff Alan Wolf for independent news commentary that looks beyond today's headlines to the bigger forces shaping American democracy.Looking for more independent news commentary and original articles?Visit Jeff's Substack The Wolf's Denhttps://open.substack.com/pub/jeffalanwolfAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWhat happens when headlines become more important than the consequences?In this episode of A World Gone Mad, Jeff Alan Wolf examines three stories that all raise the same question: What happens when politics, public health, and party power become driven more by messaging than by substance?Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announces a new Department of Health and Human Services initiative aimed at reducing the overprescribing of psychiatric medications. Jeff explores why conversations about mental health require nuance, why medical guidance should never be reduced to political sound bites, and how public messaging can influence real healthcare decisions.Jeff also examines the explosive Senate hearing where Senator Bernie Moreno confronted Dr. Anthony Fauci with profanity while questioning his role during the COVID-19 pandemic. At what point does congressional oversight stop being about accountability and start becoming political theater designed for viral moments?Finally, Michigan Democrats delivered a surprise in one of the nation's most closely watched Senate primaries as progressive Abdul El-Sayed defeated establishment-backed Congresswoman Haley Stevens. Jeff looks at what the result says about the growing divide inside the Democratic Party and why voters continue reminding political insiders that endorsements don't cast ballots.Three stories. One common thread. Whether it's healthcare, congressional oversight, or political power, public confidence depends on thoughtful leadership—not the loudest headline.Subscribe to A World Gone Mad with Jeff Alan Wolf for independent news commentary that looks beyond today's headlines to the bigger forces shaping American democracy.Looking for more independent news commentary and original articles?Visit my Substack.https://open.substack.com/pub/jeffalanwolfAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWhat happens when the rules keep changing?In this episode of A World Gone Mad, Jeff Alan Wolf examines three stories that all point to the same troubling question: What happens when Americans begin losing confidence in the institutions that are supposed to hold democracy together?The Supreme Court weighs whether the Trump administration can move forward with new mail voting restrictions before the midterm elections, raising questions about election rules, public confidence, and why changing the rules late in the game can undermine trust regardless of who benefits.Jeff also looks at Todd Blanche's path to becoming Attorney General after Republican holdouts suddenly dropped their objections following changes to Trump's controversial anti-weaponization fund. Were those principles… or simply negotiating positions?Finally, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s heated CNN interview with Dana Bash raises a larger question: When does personal opinion become official guidance? Free speech belongs to everyone, but institutional authority carries responsibilities that extend far beyond the microphone.Three stories. One common thread. When the rules, the principles, and the institutions people depend on begin shifting, public confidence doesn't disappear overnight—it slowly erodes.Subscribe to A World Gone Mad with Jeff Alan Wolf for independent news commentary that looks beyond today's headlines to the bigger forces shaping American democracy.Looking for more independent news commentary and original articles?Visit my Substack.https://open.substack.com/pub/jeffalanwolfAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

In his second visit to the show, Buddhist psychologist JOE DENICHOLAS tal about the relatively low-rate of success for therapy and the reasons he believes are the cause:  from the standpoint of the therapy itself, the client and the the therapist. We talk about how therapists can create a safe environment for clients, the core beliefs clients bring into therapy and the need for therapist/client connection and a helathy seperation. We also get into the idea of mortality and the power this reality can bring to one's existence both within and outside of the therapy evironment.       JOE DENICHOLAS is a dynamic, challenging licensed therapist whose work bridges science, spirituality, and healing. With degrees in electrical engineering, business, and clinical social work, he brings a rare interdisciplinary perspective to both clinical practice and contemplative training.   For more than two decades, Joe has studied Buddhist psychology and trained with renowned meditation masters, helping individuals access deep transformation, clarity, and peace. He has guided hundreds through developing meaningful mindfulness and meditation practices. Earlier in his career, Joe contributed to the global shift toward energy-efficient lighting, earning multiple U.S. patents in integrated-circuit and semiconductor device design as an IC Design Engineer and Semiconductor Technologist.   Today, his work integrates Buddhist psychology in a secular way with modern neuroscience to relieve suffering and unlock the mind's natural capacity for wellbeing. He founded Unbreakable Inc., an organization dedicated to helping people rediscover resilience, goodness, and inner freedom through education, workshops, meditation, and therapy. In 2025, he published "Seeking Sanity:  How to Cultivate Peace, Happiness, and Wellbeing in a World Gone Mad" with Modern Wisdom Press.  

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIf you've ever wondered whether Washington has completely lost its sense of proportion, this episode is for you. While America faces real challenges, some of our leaders seem far more interested in building personal legacies than solving the problems millions of Americans are actually worried about. At some point, you have to ask whether anyone in charge remembers what they're supposed to be doing.Then I turn to Social Security, where decades of warnings have been met with decades of delay. The clock is ticking, the math isn't getting any better, and doing nothing has somehow become the most expensive option of all. It's a conversation about leadership, responsibility, and why kicking the can down the road always comes with a bigger bill.Senator Dick Durban has some thoughts on how to make Social Security work again.And just when you think the week couldn't get any stranger, Donald Trump suddenly discovers the importance of AIR… because wildfire smoke from Canada drifted across the border. The irony is impossible to ignore, and the political finger-pointing that followed is almost too ridiculous to believe if we weren't watching it happen in real time.If Social Security affects your future, if political theater has you shaking your head, or if you're simply wondering how we've reached the point where branding seems more important than governing, I think you'll enjoy this one.Welcome… once again… to A World Gone Mad.You can send me your opinions and comments at: WolfPackTalks@gmail.comIf you've enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I'm not backed by Corporate media.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWI'm asking a question that should be easy to answer, but somehow nobody in Washington wants to. Whatever happened to the Republican Party that built its entire identity around fiscal responsibility? After decades of hearing lectures about deficits, government spending, and living within our means, suddenly ninety-five billion dollars is treated like pocket change. Either the math changed…or the message did.Then it gets even stranger. One of the most revealing comments wasn't hidden behind closed doors. It was said out loud. When lawmakers were asked how this massive spending would be paid for, the response was so breathtakingly honest that it may have exposed what this debate has really been about all along. If you've ever wondered whether political principles actually have expiration dates, you won't want to miss this conversation.Then I turn my attention to Senator John Fetterman and the growing speculation that he may walk away from the Democratic Party altogether. After watching his votes, interviews, and public positions over the past couple of years, I have a very different reaction than many Democrats probably expect. Let's just say there won't be any desperate pleas for him to stay.This episode isn't about left versus right. It's about consistency, credibility, and whether principles still matter when the people in power are the ones writing the checks. If politicians are going to spend years preaching one thing and then practice the exact opposite, somebody ought to point it out.If you're tired of political double standards, selective outrage, and watching yesterday's talking points disappear the minute they're no longer convenient, then this episode is for you. Sometimes the most revealing stories aren't about what politicians say. They're about what they suddenly stop saying.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWDonald Trump delivered another speech. I forced myself to watch every minute of it so you don't have to. Trust me… it wasn't easy. What started as a routine presidential address quickly became something far stranger, filled with grand claims, familiar grievances, and moments that left me wondering whether I was watching politics or pure performance art.From promises that America has never been stronger to declarations about healthcare, the economy, Iran, and election integrity, I break down the speech the way only A World Gone Mad can…with humor, sarcasm, frustration, and a healthy dose of “Did Trump really just say that?” There were moments I laughed, moments I cringed, and several moments where I honestly questioned what country Donald Trump believes he's describing.But beneath the absurdity is something far more serious. Trump's speech quickly shifts from exaggerated claims, to elections, China, classified documents, and the coming midterms. That's where this episode takes a hard turn…from comedy into a discussion about why rhetoric matters, why words have consequences, and why this speech deserves more attention than a quick headline or social media clip.I also ask a question I've been asking this audience for a long time: At what point do we stop shaking our heads and start speaking up? Whether you agree with me, disagree with me, or fall somewhere in between, I want to hear from you. Your voice matters, and silence isn't much of a strategy when the stakes feel this high.Finally, I close on a personal note. It's my birthday weekend, and Natacha and I are stepping away from the lunacy for a couple of days to recharge before returning Monday. Sometimes the healthiest thing we can do is hit pause, spend time with the people we love, and come back ready for whatever insanity is waiting next.If you're looking for another sanitized political recap, this isn't it. If you're looking for sharp commentary, plenty of humor, genuine concern, and an honest reaction to one of the week's most talked-about speeches, then pull up a chair. I'm Jeff Alan Wolf This is A World Gone Mad.You can send me your opinions and comments at: WolfPackTalks@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWLindsey Graham's sudden death should have been a moment for reflection. Instead, it became something else almost immediately. Kash Patel and the FBI got involved.Before the facts had a chance to catch up, the speculation took off at full speed.In today's America, that's becoming the rule instead of the exception.Then came language that should sound familiar to anyone who's paid attention to history. The words may be different. The technology may be different. But the political playbook? That hasn't changed nearly as much as we'd like to believe.What happens when fear becomes a campaign strategy? When political opponents stop being opponents and start being portrayed as enemies hiding in plain sight? America has traveled down this road before, and the similarities are difficult to ignore.I'll explain why I believe Donald Trump is dusting off one of the oldest political playbooks in American history. Trump's calling people “communists”. That's why the phrase “Red Scare” matters far more than most people realize, and why history has a habit of returning with a fresh coat of paint.I'll also take a hard look at another story that's receiving far less attention than it deserves: America's growing missile shortage. As tensions with Iran continue, are we quietly burning through military stockpiles faster than we can replace them? It's a question that could have consequences far beyond the current conflict.This is Episode 251 of A World Gone Mad—where history matters, common sense is trying to have a seat at the table, and asking uncomfortable questions is always welcome.If you've enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I'm not backed by Corporate media.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWSome milestones deserve a celebration. Others deserve a story. Episode 250 is both.What began during a hospital stay as nothing more than an idea has grown into a podcast heard in 108 countries and nearly 1,700 locations around the world. Armed with a microphone and a lifetime in broadcasting, I never imagined that journey would happen, and I certainly never imagined I'd still be here two and a half years later talking about a world that somehow keeps getting even stranger.This isn't just a look back. It's a look at what 250 episodes have taught me about politics, cable news, social media, outrage, common sense, and the remarkable people who keep this country moving forward while the people in charge often seem determined to move it backward.You'll also hear my very first…“STATE OF SANITY” Address, where I hand out grades to Congress, the media, social media, political consultants, pollsters, fact-checkers, conspiracy theorists, and a few others who have definitely earned my attention over the past two and a half years.Most importantly, this episode is about gratitude. To everyone who has listened, agreed, disagreed, challenged me, corrected me, laughed with me, and kept this crazy experiment alive…thank you. You didn't just help me reach Episode 250. You made it possible.So whether you've been here since Episode 1 or you're discovering A World Gone Mad for the very first time, welcome. The microphone is on, my opinions are uncensored, and the next chapter starts right now.If you've enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I'm not backed by Corporate media.

Joe talks about:   Actionable strategies to move from "getting through" life, to cultivating a life where you thrive in peace, happiness, and fulfillment. Moving beyond coping mechanisms to heal the root cause of affliction rather than addressing the symptoms alone. Why emotional mastery is absolutely critical to the leading of a fully authentic human life full of rich experiences. Why therapy is not nearly as effective as we need it to be given the scope of the mental health problem in today's society. There is no longer any excuse to continue suffering the way we are. Much of the mental health crisis comes down to a collective "learned helplessness." Let's learn how to break that down and engage the effective tools at our disposal. Accessing the lasting peace and happiness that exist within everyone's mind, without obscuring them by relying on external circumstances which leads to anxiety, depression, and ineffective strategies for well-being. Why are ethics so important to happiness, what mistakes are people often making in this area, and why?  What can be done about that? How to cultivate happiness and calm your nervous system in 15 minutes or less. Understanding how your mind has been structured and organized, how this organization obscures the place of peace and happiness, and how it can be reorganized to provide constant access to that peace. Understanding how habits really change and how discipline is actually cultivated.   www.unbreakableinc.com  

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIn this episode of A WORLD GONE MAD, Democratic voters in New York just sent shockwaves through their own party, and the political establishment suddenly has a brand new problem it didn't see coming.Congress actually managed to agree on a bipartisan housing affordability bill. Then Donald Trump stepped in with an ultimatum that has nothing to do with housing. If you've ever wondered why Americans get so frustrated with Washington, this story may answer that question.The Senate delivers Donald Trump one of its rare bipartisan rebukes, raising new questions about whether his grip on Capitol Hill is beginning to loosen and what that could mean for Washington.And Tucker Carlson says he's leaving the Republican Party after more than three decades. Whether you agree with him or not, his criticism comes from inside the conservative movement, not outside it, and that makes this story impossible to ignore.If politics feels less predictable than ever, you're not imagining it. The alliances are shifting, the old rules aren't working, and the people who were supposed to have all the answers suddenly have a lot of explaining to do.If you've enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I'm not backed by Corporate media.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThe Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was fixed. Then the fix started breaking. Again.What happens when government tries to solve a simple problem, spends a pile of money doing it, celebrates the solution, and then discovers the solution has problems of its own? Let's just say the story gets bluer from there.Meanwhile, Barack Obama is building something in Chicago that says a lot about how he views leadership, public service, and the future. The project itself is interesting. What it represents may be even more interesting.Then there's a government proposal involving special education oversight and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. A lot of parents are asking questions. Some of those questions are hard to ignore.And finally, a dispute between Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni turns into something neither side can laugh off. What started as a comment quickly became an international headache.From peeling paint to presidential legacies to diplomatic drama, this episode looks at what happens when class, competence, and common sense collide with politics.That's today's insight into A WORLD GONE MAD.Stay hopeful. Stay alert. Remain skeptical.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThe Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool had one job. Hold water and look reflective. Somehow it ended up at the center of a political controversy involving algae, treatment systems, blame shifting, and enough finger-pointing to qualify as an Olympic event.Meanwhile, a brand new international bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor, Canada is ready to open.Billions of dollars have already been spent, and suddenly people are asking questions about money, influence, political donations, and whether competition's still a wonderful thing when somebody important stands to lose from it.Then there's Senate Republicans, who spent weeks negotiating a compromise designed to help Donald Trump, only to discover that he wasn't entirely on board with the compromise created to help him.At some point Washington starts sounding less like a government and more like a group project where nobody had read the assignment.What's amazing is how often simple things become complicated. A pool becomes a political fight. A bridge becomes a power struggle. A nomination hearing becomes a test of whether Trump's own allies are still willing to change direction every time he changes his mind.The deeper problem isn't ideology. It isn't policy. It's the growing feeling that nobody's driving the bus anymore, and the passengers are being told to stop asking who has the steering wheel.That's today's insight into A WORLD GONE MAD.If you've enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I'm not backed by Corporate media.

Air Date - 17 June 2026You've played the game. Built a life. Tried the hacks. Maybe even done some therapy. And still—here you are… stressed, anxious, frustrated, and exhausted. The truth is that everything you've tried was built on a lie: That you'll achieve peace and happiness by putting all the puzzle pieces in place or doing more of the same, just better. My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, engineer-turned-therapist Joseph DeNicholas, dismantles the modern myths that have kept you stuck—and offers an honest, refreshingly practical path to overall wellbeing that has transformed his life and the lives of his patients. No fluff. No empty affirmations. Just deep insight, precise practices, and the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. Joseph (Joe) DeNicholas is a dynamic, challenging licensed therapist whose work bridges science, spirituality, and healing.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIran and America announce a deal. Great news, right? There's just one small problem. The people who negotiated it seem to be describing two different agreements. Before anyone starts celebrating peace, stability, and diplomacy, it might help if everybody could agree on what they actually agreed to.Then things get even stranger. Gavin Newsom says federal agents are knocking on doors looking for information about him and his wife. According to Newsom, they're not investigating a crime. They're looking for one. If that's true, what exactly happened to the idea that evidence comes before the target?And because apparently everything must eventually become about Donald Trump, America's 250th birthday celebration will also include what Trump is calling the most spectacular Trump rally of them all!Complete with Trump branding, Trump messaging, and even Trump's playlist. Somehow the country's birthday has become another campaign event.And finally, Fox is buying Roku for $22 billion. The company says it's about growth, opportunity, and improving the experience for viewers. Sure. Because giant media corporations always spend tens of billions of dollars WITHOUT expecting a little extra influence in return.One deal nobody can explain. One investigation that raises uncomfortable questions. One national celebration that somehow circles back to the same person.And one media acquisition that's supposedly nothing to worry about.That's today's insight into A WORLD GONE MAD.If you've enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I'm not backed by Corporate media.

We live in a world obsessed with measuring — our health, our net worth, our followers, our worth. But in Revelation 11, God hands John a measuring rod and asks a terrifying question: if He measured your life, would you be found inside the temple — marked as His — or outside with the crowd, […] The post Witnesses In a World Gone Mad appeared first on Living Faith Missionary Church.

The Vanity of Life Under the Sun Without the Son, Pt. 14Keep Calm and Carry On in a World Gone MadEcclesiastes 9:13–10:20 | King's Chapel Live StreamThe world often feels noisy, chaotic, and completely upside down.Ecclesiastes reminds us that wisdom is better than strength, yet even a little foolishness can cause incredible damage. Under the sun, foolishness seems unavoidable. Corrupt leadership rises. Empty words spread quickly. People chase satisfaction in all the wrong places. And sometimes it feels like the world has lost its mind.So how are we supposed to live faithfully in a world like this?In this message, we are reminded to keep calm and carry on with a wise heart. Scripture calls us to avoid the path of foolishness and to remain steady even when life around us feels unstable.Most importantly, Ecclesiastes points us toward hope. Our confidence is not in human wisdom, political power, or our own efforts.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWWhen did lying stop being political spin… and start becoming America's operating system?In this episode, I dive into the growing normalization of misinformation, manufactured outrage, and the dangerous idea that facts no longer matter if your political tribe approves of the story. From Trump's latest claims involving Iran to the broader culture of “just believe whatever the leader says,” this episode asks a very uncomfortable question:What happens when reality itself becomes negotiable?I also get brutally personal about something I know will make some people angry. I explain why I can no longer tolerate hardcore Trump supporters in my personal life even friends, family members, or relationships. Not because of “different opinions,” but because I believe we've crossed into something far darker involving cruelty, extremism, propaganda, and the abandonment of basic moral reasoning.And then… we get to the statue.Donald Trump unveiling a 22-foot monument to himself at Mar-A-Lago might be one of the most absurdly on-brand political moments in modern American history. I break down the ego, the spectacle, the dictator-style imagery, and why this whole thing feels less like democracy and more like a reality show slowly mutating into a monarchy with gold trim.This episode is angry, sarcastic, darkly funny, and completely unfiltered.Welcome back to A World Gone Mad.If you've enjoyed the podcast and found it informative, and maybe sometimes got a laugh or two, then please contribute to keeping this podcast around. I'm not backed by Corporate media.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWTuesday's elections revealed something deeper than politics. Americans are exhausted, financially stressed, burned out by nonstop outrage, and increasingly voting out of fear instead of hope. I break down the election results, media hype, economic frustration, and why the country feels one bad news alert away from collectively losing its mind.Then I look at Donald Trump defending plans for a massive new White House ballroom while millions of Americans struggle with gas prices, groceries, rent, and debt. Is it confidence, terrible timing, or Marie Antoinette politics with extra chandeliers? I unpack why the story is hitting such a nerve.And finally, I remember Ted Turner…the media outlaw who changed television forever. CNN. TNT. TBS. Twenty four hour news. Sports. Spectacle. Controversy. Modern media still lives inside the world Ted Turner built, whether we like it or not.A WORLD GONE MAD with me, Jeff Alan Wolf. No spin. No BS.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWSomething unusual happened in the Texas primary and it should have people paying attention. Democratic voter turnout surged to levels that normally don't happen in midterm cycles. When that kind of participation shows up in a state like Texas, it raises a much bigger question about the political energy building across the country and what it could mean for the races that will decide control of Washington.If momentum like that spreads beyond one state, the ripple effects could be enormous. Several Senate races are already sitting on a political fault line and the balance of power in Washington may be far less stable than it looks right now.Another political problem is brewing inside Washington itself. A Senate hearing involving Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took a turn that surprised a lot of people when criticism started coming from both Democrats and Republicans. When pressure starts building from both sides of the aisle, the political clock can start ticking very quickly.At the same time the conflict with Iran is creating a second battle back home over how the war is being explained to the public. Pentagon officials insist the mission's working. Reporters are asking a completely different set of questions about where this conflict could lead and how long it could last.Then there's the situation facing Americans trying to leave the Middle East as the conflict grows. Citizens have been told to call a government number if they need help getting out. What some callers say they hear when they reach that number raises serious questions about planning, responsibility, and whether anyone in Washington actually has a real evacuation strategy. Or if anyone in Washington actually cares?The turnout shock in Texas, the growing tension in Washington, and the troubling situation facing Americans overseas are all colliding at the same moment. I dig into what's happening and why it matters.I'm Jeff Alan Wolf and this is A World Gone Mad.What are your thoughts? Please let me know.WolfPackTalks@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWI'm back with another unfiltered episode of A World Gone Mad, and I'm not sugarcoating where I think the country stands right now. I open with a blunt personal reality check about the daily mental grind many Americans are feeling and why, in my view, the political temperature keeps rising instead of cooling off.From there, I zero in on new polling showing Donald Trump's approval sliding with independents ahead of the State of the Union. I break down why middle of the road voters tend to react strongly to instability and why that shift, even if it's early, has both parties quietly paying attention.Next, I turn my focus to Judge Aileen Cannon's latest move involving the special counsel documents case. I walk you through why this ruling is raising eyebrows, what it does and doesn't mean legally, and why public trust continues to take small hits every time high profile cases hit another delay.The episode then pivots south of the border, where cartel violence in parts of Mexico triggered shelter in place warnings affecting Americans on the ground. I connect the dots between the operation that set events in motion, the rapid retaliation that followed, and the broader question of how global instability can escalate fast.I also issue a direct challenge about the WOLF organization. https://joinwolf.org/, explaining who the organization is for and why I believe the moment calls for more voices, not fewer. If you've been listening but staying on the sidelines, this is the time to decide where you stand.I close with a candid message to the Wolfpack about listener feedback, support, and why I keep showing up behind the mic even when the stress is real and the hours are long. If you want straight talk with no spin and no fake outrage, this episode delivers exactly that.Click the link to become a founding member of WOLF.

On today's Thursday Thoughts, Lucy and I are talking about the power of intentionally tuning into nature during crazy times.Most of us would agree that the state of the world right now is…alot. It can feel overwhelming and scary, to say the least, and it's easy to feel completely out of control.One of the best ways to put things into perspective - not to mention regulate our overstimulated nervous systems - is to remember that we are a part of something much, much greater than ourselves.Sometimes a walk in nature is all we need to feel calmer; a cuddle with our cat can bring us back to joy; and noticing the beauty of the flowers or the birds can make us feel more grounded.So if you're feeling upset, scared, or horrified by what's happening in the world, one of the best things you can do is surround yourself with nature - whether that's a walk along the coast, or just popping into your local city park.We sincerely hope you'll find something helpful or interesting in here.Love,Polly & Lucy xDownload 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThis episode opens with a simple demand that keeps getting avoided when power uses lethal force. Tell the truth. Not the press release version. Not the after the fact justification. The truth that comes from reports, witness calls, and what actually happened in the moments that mattered.The Renee Good shooting is examined through that lens. What was claimed versus what was documented. What witnesses described versus what officials emphasized. When those accounts don't line up, the gap isn't an accident. It's the point where scrutiny is supposed to begin, not end.This isn't about speculation or outrage for its own sake. It's about accountability and how quickly it disappears when authority decides the story is closed. Once lethal force is used, the narrative hardens fast. Questions get labeled inconvenient. Doubt gets treated like disloyalty.The episode then shifts to a moment that feels impossible until you see it. Donald Trump collecting a Nobel Peace Prize moment. The context is strange. The visual is weird. It forces you to stop and ask what the hell is going on.Taken together, these stories reveal the same problem. Control of the narrative matters more than responsibility. Image matters more than consequences. And the public is expected to accept both without protest.A World Gone Mad reaches a new level of madness with the stories in this episode.At the start of this episode I talked about the major financial upheaval that my girlfriend and I are going through since this last Friday.If you can, and you would like to help, here's the link: Also please share this link with others.https://gofund.me/a7dbfc375AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIn this episode of A World Gone Mad, I'm talking about what happens when accountability starts to quietly slip away and the public is told to accept official answers without real scrutiny. Recent developments suggest that something fundamental's shifting, and not in a reassuring direction.I begin with the shooting in Minnesota, where Renée Nicole Good was killed during a federal immigration enforcement action and serious questions are being raised about who's allowed to investigate what happened. The response from authorities has triggered concerns about oversight, jurisdiction, and how quickly control of a deadly incident can be locked down.This isn't a conversation about political sides or policy slogans. It's about process, authority, and what it means when transparency narrows instead of expands after someone's killed.I then turn to Washington and growing alarm over the future of FEMA, the agency tasked with responding when disasters strike. Behind-the-scenes decisions could significantly alter how prepared the country is when the next emergency hits.When disaster response is treated as a budget line instead of a lifeline, the consequences don't show up immediately, but they always show up eventually. Delays, gaps, and failures tend to surface at the worst possible moment.This episode looks at how power, oversight, and preparedness intersect, and why it matters when systems designed to protect the public begin to weaken at the same time.I also talked about the major financial upheaval that my girlfriend and I are going through since this last Friday.If you can, and you would like to help, here's the link:https://gofund.me/a7dbfc375AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThis is not the usual Wednesday WTF episode. With Christmas Eve and Christmas Day landing right in the middle of the week, this episode takes a different approach. It is about showing up, staying consistent, and acknowledging the moment without pretending the world suddenly stopped being complicated.As the holidays arrive, the pressure people are feeling has not gone away. The economy still weighs heavily on families. Poll after poll shows frustration building. People are asking for real attention to real problems, not slogans or dismissal, and that tension is part of the backdrop we are all carrying into this season.There is also the growing unease around trust. Promises of transparency feel thin. Explanations feel incomplete. Confidence in institutions continues to erode, and once credibility is lost, it does not stay contained to one issue. It spreads and it changes how people view everything.This episode is about stepping back without checking out. It is about taking a breath even while the noise keeps coming. It is a reminder that pausing is not surrender, and that preserving yourself is sometimes the most responsible thing you can do.And if you are spending the holidays alone, this episode speaks to you as well. You are not invisible and you are not forgotten. Wherever you are emotionally as the year winds down, this is a moment to ground yourself before stepping back into a world that is not done testing any of us.To all the Wolfpack listeners around the world…A VERY happy holiday to you!AWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIn this episode I focus on a major decision involving offshore wind projects already under construction along the East Coast and why the sudden halt has set off alarm bells well beyond the energy world. These were not future proposals but active projects with money workers and infrastructure already in place.I look at what this move means for jobs regional power demand and electricity costs and why states that were counting on these projects now face serious uncertainty. The explanation offered by the Trump administration raises questions that deserve closer attention.I also turn to the Justice Department's release of Epstein related files and why the response has been anything but settled. After months of anticipation the release has intensified scrutiny instead of quieting it.The issue is not just what was made public but how it was handled. Shifting redactions missing context and confusion around released materials have angered lawmakers survivors and legal observers across party lines.I talk about why these reactions matter and what they suggest about unresolved accountability and trust in institutions that claim transparency while controlling what the public is allowed to see.When decisions like these are made and explained this way, the effects do not end with a press cycle. They carry forward into jobs, energy costs, legal accountability, and whether the public believes the system is working for them or protecting itself.This is A World Gone Mad.

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIn this episode of A World Gone Mad, I cover three separate developments that together paint a disturbing picture of where power, accountability, and public institutions are heading.I begin with the Kennedy Center. A national cultural institution created as a memorial to President John F Kennedy has become the focus of a sudden and controversial shift. What's happening raises serious questions about ownership, legacy, and whether anything public is still treated as untouchable.I then turn to the U.S. military, where legal guidance and chain-of-command expectations are colliding in a way that deserves public attention. The language being used sounds calm and procedural, but the implications reach deep into how unlawful orders are handled and who bears responsibility when lines are crossed.This isn't about theory or hypotheticals. It's about how silence can be encouraged without ever being formally ordered, and what that means inside institutions built on accountability.I also address a recent televised address to the nation delivered by the president. The speech was framed as significant, and I walk through why its structure, delivery, and internal contradictions matter in ways that go beyond ordinary political disagreement.These stories are not identical, but they connect. Each one involves authority, pressure, and the reshaping of norms that once felt fixed.This episode doesn't offer comfort or easy conclusions. It asks what we are being trained to accept, and what happens if we stop questioning it.This is A World Gone Mad. I'm Jeff Alan Wolf.If you'd like to contribute with a small donation to my podcast before the holidays it would be appreciated.As I've said multiple times, this is purely optional. But every little donation truly helps.here is the link: https://ko-fi.com/aworldgonemadAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWOn this WTF Wednesday episode of A World Gone Mad, I take a hard look at a decision in Congress that is about to hit millions of people where it hurts most. This is not an accident and it is not bad timing. Washington knew this healthcare deadline was coming and leadership chose to let it happen anyway. When premiums rise and coverage becomes harder to afford, that outcome will be the result of a deliberate choice.I walk through a House fight over ACA healthcare relief that should have been straightforward and was anything but. This is not about party slogans or cable news noise. It is about who controls the process and what happens when leadership refuses to let the system do what it is supposed to do. A vote matters, and when votes are blocked, accountability disappears with them.What makes this moment impossible to ignore is who pushed back and how far things escalated. Quiet negotiations happened. Warnings were issued. Even unlikely voices inside Congress said this was going too far. When those efforts failed, lines were crossed that almost never get crossed, and that tells you everything about how boxed in some lawmakers have become.This episode is really about power and how it is being used. This is not gridlock and it is not confusion. It is leadership deciding that protecting control matters more than protecting people. When the process itself is shut down, regular Americans are the ones left absorbing the consequences while Washington pretends it is all normal.In the second half of the show, I turn to a closed door Judiciary confrontation involving Jack Smith. This is not about transparency or routine oversight. It is about pressure, intimidation, and the signal being sent to anyone who might consider enforcing the law against powerful figures. I explain why this moment matters far beyond one hearing room and why it should concern anyone who still believes the rule of law is supposed to apply evenly.What ties both stories together is the same sickness running through the system. Accountability is treated like a threat and loyalty is treated like a requirement. When enforcing the law becomes dangerous and preventing harm becomes optional, something fundamental is broken.This is A World Gone Mad. I say the things others will not because the truth does not need permission, and the consequences of silence are already landing on the people who can least afford them.The holidays are rapidly approaching.And, if you'd like to help support this podcast with a small donation before the holiday's…here's the link: https://ko-fi.com/aworldgonemadAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

World Gone Mad The Cruise Dec 28th by Mastermind Master Studio

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWThis episode opens with the Trump administration pushing a new round of immigration crackdowns, and the atmosphere around it is already tense. DHS and ICE are moving with a level of force that immediately raises questions about what they are planning and how far they intend to go. Communities can feel the pressure even before the details become clear.You will hear how Trump's own words are fueling the moment. When the president speaks about immigrants with language that strips away dignity, the entire system absorbs that hostility. It shapes how agencies behave. It shapes how supporters react. It shapes the country's understanding of who is being targeted and why.There is also a disturbing development tied to the Epstein investigation. House Democrats released new material from the island, and it forces a fresh look at the people, money, and influence connected to that place. The new evidence opens doors that many in power hoped would stay shut.Another part of the episode brings you into the White House where Trump once again tries to present himself as strong and sharp. What happens in that setting tells its own story. Trump's behavior inside a Cabinet meeting becomes impossible to ignore and raises real questions about his leadership and his awareness at the highest level.The larger picture is a country being pushed and pulled by extreme decisions made inside Washington. DHS is pushing aggressive operations. The FBI is making unusual public statements. Congress is releasing sensitive material that rattles long protected circles of power. The pieces collide in a way that leaves people wondering who is actually steering the country.Listeners will recognize the frustration that runs through all of this. The constant tension. The feeling that every move from the administration adds another layer of uncertainty to daily life. Many people are tired of bracing for whatever comes next.This episode exposes the chaos created by Trump, the agencies moving under his direction, and the institutions forced to react. It pulls back the curtain and sets the stage for what you are about to hear on A World Gone Mad.Also, if you'd like to help support this podcast financially with a small donation before the holiday's…here is the link: https://ko-fi.com/aworldgonemadAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWSomething big was supposed to happen this week. Leaders promised it. Headlines pushed it. Supporters waited for the moment the truth would finally drop. Instead the country watched the entire build up collapse into silence and excuses.The episode opens with a look at the distance between what powerful people say and what they actually deliver. Cameras roll. Statements fly. The public braces for impact. Then the moment arrives and absolutely nothing materializes.From there the focus shifts to a quiet crisis hitting ordinary people who are simply trying to book a place to stay. Listings look perfect. Photos look flawless. The trip seems set. Then the traveler shows up and learns the entire thing was an illusion designed to take their money.Victims are left stranded and stunned. Seniors lose the trip they saved for. Students lose the little they managed to put aside. Companies promise to investigate but those promises do not rebuild plans that vanished overnight.Another story unfolds in a completely different corner of daily life. Portions are shrinking at places that claim nothing has changed. Bags look lighter. Boxes look thinner. Plates show up with portions so small you wonder if half the meal went missing on the way to the table.The trend is spreading and the explanations never match the reality in front of people. Friendly phrases hide smaller servings. Prices stay the same while the product quietly erodes. It is a small thing that points to a much bigger pattern.All of these threads connect. Empty promises at the top. Quiet tricks in the middle. Smaller portions everywhere except the excuses. Each piece reveals the same message disguised in a different part of the news cycle.And because it is the Friday show the episode still lands on the edge of sanity with a real story that sounds completely impossible until you hear it. A moment that lets you exhale before the weekend begins.If you enjoy the podcast and want to help keep this independent show going through the year I would be grateful for your support. Every contribution no matter the amount helps me cover the real costs behind producing A World Gone Mad.Your listenership already means everything.

A sermon by Phil Shimer based on Ecclesiastes 10 & 11 preached on November 16th as part of our sermon series called "Fully Alive: Wisdom and the Way of Jesus In Ecclesiastes"

SEND ME A TEXT MESSAGE NOWIn this episode of A World Gone Mad the week swings from comedy to chaos faster than a campaign promise. The Pentagon is locked and loaded and somehow waiting on emotional permission first. Global defense now looks more like a mood swing than a strategy.The fate of a war and the credibility of US power hang on whether one man wakes up cranky. Tomahawks sit ready to launch while leadership remains stuck in a holding pattern somewhere between ego and golf day.Congress is back at it with shutdown roulette while SNAP benefits vanish and lawmakers head home for the weekend. The people who fund the budget have once again forgotten to fund the country.This is about the difference between policy and priorities. We can write billion dollar checks for weapons that have not fired yet but cannot fund a fridge for families who need dinner tonight. Hypocrisy has a flag pin and a permanent seat in Washington.Then comes America's new obsession with nuclear nostalgia. Testing the same weapons that once defined the Cold War is not progress. It is a dangerous form of déjà vu dressed up as deterrence.To balance the madness the episode ends with News From the Edge of Sanity a few offbeat stories that prove the world is still ridiculous enough to laugh at. From courtroom surprises to small town politics with fur and horns absurdity is alive and thriving.It all ends with a simple reminder for the Wolfpack. Stay skeptical. Stay focused. But most of all stay hopeful.You can email me at:WolfPackTalks@gmail.comAWorldGoneMadPodcast@gmail.com

President Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House to discuss a second phase of a ceasefire deal with Hamas and the return of Israeli hostages from Gaza. The meeting also highlighted Trump's controversial proposal for the U.S. to take over and "own" the Gaza Strip. Newt’s guest is Israel Ellis, author of "The Wake Up Call: Global Jihad and the Rise of Antisemitism in a World Gone MAD." They discuss the significance of Netanyahu's visit, Trump's unwavering support for Israel, and the broader implications for peace and security in the Middle East. Ellis emphasizes the need for a tough stance against terrorism, the importance of education in eradicating hate, and the potential for Gaza to become a prosperous region. They also discuss the alarming rise of antisemitism on American campuses and the broader geopolitical challenges facing Israel and the Jewish community.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
