What if the path to freedom doesn’t start at the top—but right where you stand? In this riveting episode, Danielle Walker and Jon Herold ignite a conversation about truth, media rebellion, and the slow unraveling of a system that’s lost its grip on honesty.

From the birth of Badlands Media to the murky depths of mortgage fraud and political corruption, this isn’t just talk—it’s a call to engage. What really happened in 2020? Can a local movement take on a national deception? And who’s brave enough to ask the questions no one else will?

This episode doesn’t spoon-feed answers. It demands curiosity, courage, and the willingness to stare down the media machine. If you’ve sensed that something deeper is stirring—beneath the headlines and behind the curtain—this is your signal to dig in.

Keywords: freedom, truth, Badlands Media, Devolution series, Trump, media accountability, 2020 election, investigations, mortgage fraud, community engagement.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:

”I despise these deceptive illusions, all this pretense and nonsense, for I worship only you [God]. In mercy you have seen my troubles, and you have cared for me; even during this crisis in my soul I will be radiant with joy, filled with praise for your love and mercy. You have kept me from being conquered by my enemy; you broke open the way to bring me to freedom, into a beautiful, broad place.“
