His name is Thomas Massie. He's taken zero foreign lobbying dollars, he's pushed for Epstein accountability, and he's fighting Bayer and big agro on behalf of American farmers. So why does Israel want him gone so badly?In this episode, Zach breaks down the most expensive primary in American history, the foreign money flooding Kentucky's fourth district, and why this race is about way more than one seat. Creators are on the ground. The clock is running. And if young voters don't show up, AIPAC wins again.Support the show

Send us Fan MailCabin Fever is back and we’re all over the place in the best way. We start with a classic “Balloon Boy” throwback and how easy it is for nonsense to hijack the whole news cycle, then jump into real life updates like gardening, chickens, and trying to build actual self reliance skills.From there it gets darker fast. Car theft tech, why everything feels more unstable, and a quick look at a wealth gap chart that honestly feels like a punch in the face. We talk about how the people in power don’t build for the long term anymore, why that mindset matters, and what it does to society.We wrap with a story from DC that shows how broken incentives really are, using the Bayer Supreme Court fight as an example of how money and lobbying can reshape outcomes, even when the human cost is obvious. Support the show

Send us Fan MailThe housing market is getting harder to navigate, and for many people, it feels nearly impossible to break in.From rising home prices to increasing rent and higher interest rates, affordability is becoming a major issue across the country. First-time homebuyers are relying more than ever on family assistance, while others are being priced out entirely.This conversation breaks down what’s really happening behind the scenes, including why wages aren’t keeping up, how second-home buyers and investors are impacting the market, and what the future could look like if nothing changes.Is there a path forward, or are we heading toward a deeper divide between those who can afford housing and those who can’t?Support the show

Send us Fan MailEveryone keeps saying the Iran situation is “cooling off” and the Strait of Hormuz is about to “open back up.” But when you actually look at the data, it doesn’t match the headline.We start with a Chevron CEO warning about real supply stress showing up overseas, then we walk through the market moves around the so called ceasefire and the “deal” rumors. We track the Strait live, look at crude, urea fertilizer, and the 10 year, and then get into the weirdest part: huge crude oil shorts getting placed right before major news drops.Then we pivot to the other domino that nobody wants to talk about: AI data centers. Kevin O’Leary’s Utah plan is massive, and communities across the country are starting to fight back. We show what happened in other states, and then bring it home to Delaware, including the Project Washington ruling and why this is bigger than “jobs and tax revenue.”Support the show

Send us Fan MailWe missed a week, so the world did what it always does and cranked the muzzle velocity to 100.We start with life updates (France trip, New York, and a wild story that somehow circles right back to the same conflict you cannot escape). Then Joe takes us through what’s been moving underneath the surface while everyone is distracted.We talk about ICE, why the numbers aren’t getting the attention they should, and the masks and accountability problem. Then we zoom out to the real engine behind the chaos: money in politics, Citizens United, and why white collar enforcement keeps collapsing right when it should be spiking.After that we get into the Democrat vs Republican loop, the Epstein file “why didn’t they do it” argument, and the way both parties keep dodging the obvious. We close with Hasan Piker clips and the bigger point: people are starving for anyone who will talk like a real human and say the quiet part out loud, even if they say it messy.Support the show

Send us Fan MailThe stock market is ripping, but the stuff you actually pay for is not. Gas is still up. Crude is still high. Fertilizer is still volatile. And if you’re living in the real economy, none of this feels like a win.We break down what’s happening in Iran right now through the lens that matters: the Strait of Hormuz, the toll booth narrative, and why the “terminated” headline doesn’t match the reality on the ground. We track the ships, the timeline, and the incentives behind the messaging.Then we move into affordability and the middle class economy: why necessities keep climbing, why companies can profit while people get squeezed, and why it keeps feeling like the ground is moving under us.At the end, I give you three predictions for the next six months. Save them. Screenshot them. And we’ll come back and see if I was right.Support the show

Send us Fan MailMoney is not disappearing overnight, it is losing power right in front of you. A small group is driving most of the market, owning the majority of stocks and making up over half of all consumer spending. At the same time, a large portion of Americans are feeling tighter budgets, higher grocery bills, and less buying power every single month.This is what a k-shaped economy looks like. One side continues to move up while the other gets squeezed. The gap is not staying the same, it is widening.Inflation plays a major role in this shift. It does not take money directly out of your pocket, it quietly reduces what your dollar can actually buy. That hidden pressure is what many people are starting to feel in their day to day lives.As this divide grows, the question becomes how far it goes and who it impacts the most.Source list:https://x.com/HQNewsNow/status/2022029972337025122https://x.com/factpostnews/status/2027449242889994400https://www.scrippsnews.com/us-news/crime/epstein-files/house-oversight-sets-interview-dates-with-lutnick-gates-in-epstein-probehttps://x.com/EdKrassen/status/2046625388588319185https://x.com/WatcherGuru/status/2046617416046669916https://x.com/Breaking911/status/2046580479483121682https://www.npr.org/2026/04/21/nx-s1-5787863/federal-reserve-kevin-warsh-confirmation-hearinghttps://x.com/StealthQE4/status/2046799170040647969https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:56.900/centery:26.491/zoom:12https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:56.887/centery:26.495/zoom:12https://x.com/Its_ereko/status/2046929765513261449https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:56.179/centery:26.566/zoom:12https://x.com/MrImranPk/status/2045463970837086666https://www.lse.ac.uk/research/research-for-the-world/ai-and-tech/ai-and-stock-markethttps://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/ureahttps://tradingeconomics.com/commodity/crude-oilhttps://x.com/MOSCOW_EN/status/2046929070718648448https://apnews.com/live/iran-war-israel-trump-04-22-2026#0000019d-b584-dbb7-a79f-f5b693970000https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/2046860941690638359https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116445555373723862https://www.scrippsnews.com/us-news/crime/epstein-files/house-oversight-sets-interview-dates-with-lutnick-gates-in-epstein-probehttps://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116444507618729432Support the show

Send us Fan MailIf you want to understand why everything feels like chaos, start with the incentives. We talk about war goals that keep shifting, why nobody defines what “winning” even means, and how panic and turmoil can be used to push massive changes.Then we get into the money side: Citizens United, why money got treated like speech, and how that opened the floodgates for influence. We also break down the BlackRock timeline from 2008, the bailouts, and how power grows when the system gets “saved.”Support the show

Send us Fan MailThe stock market is ripping, but the stuff that actually hits your life is still up. Gas, crude, fertilizer. None of it is back to pre war levels, yet the S&P is flirting with 7000. That disconnect is the point of this episode. We break down the Iran update through the only lens that matters, oil and shipping, including the Strait of Hormuz noise, the China angle, and why the narrative keeps changing depending on the day. Then we pivot to the Fed drama nobody is covering enough. Powell’s clock is ticking, the budget fight is being weaponized, the next chair is in limbo, and the bigger question is what happens if they try to force lower rates.Support the show

Send us Fan MailCabin Fever 5 gets back into the economy and why normal people feel trapped. We start with how the Iran war is already pushing mortgage rates higher, then break down the math behind housing affordability and why the “starter home” is becoming unreachable for most households.From there, we talk inflation truthfully: the inflation rate going down does not mean prices come down. We get into modern monetary theory, bonds, and why the system has been designed to benefit asset holders while squeezing wages, jobs, and buying power. Then we connect it all to the war economy, corporate subsidies, and why so many people feel like they’re being gaslit by the headlines.Support the show

Send us Fan MailThis is not a “hot take” episode. This is a dominoes episode.We lay out six dominoes that connect the Iran war to your day to day life: fuel, food, famine, the Fed, the freeze, and the real end result, freedom. If the Strait of Hormuz stays unstable and oil stays elevated, everything downstream gets more expensive: shipping, manufacturing, groceries, and the basic cost of living.Then we show the fertilizer problem that nobody is talking about enough. Urea spikes hit farmers at the worst time of year, and they only have two options: pay more or use less. Either way, that cost lands in your grocery cart.After that, we break down why the Fed is trapped, why mortgage rates don’t come down if inflation stays sticky, and why a frozen market is still a crisis even without a “crash.”And we finish with the part that matters most: what happens to freedom when the system gets stressed.Support the show

Send us Fan MailThe headlines are already calling it a win. The war is “over.” Iran “blinked.” We “won.” Cool. Define the win.In this episode, we walk through the actual timeline of statements, threats, and reversals and ask the only question that matters: what box got checked. Regime change? No. Uranium enrichment stopped? No proof. Missiles stopped? Not even close. And now we’re supposed to celebrate because the Strait of Hormuz might reopen, after it was already open before all this started.Then we get into the part that hits your real life: oil, fertilizer, and the ripple effects that don’t wait for your paycheck. We pull up urea and fertilizer data, hear directly from farmers, and talk about why the costs are about to show up at the grocery store.We wrap with the “third option” that explains how this peace deal actually happened, and then we give you a free tool we built to track the economy with raw data, no ads, no email, no fluff.Trump Trackerhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VNPGRB5ZcrxxIk_27Mmbe10nxc5wyCuHJPpD4ZGSvEU/edit?gid=1528334158#gid=1528334158Support the show

Send us Fan MailThe Zach Foust Show features Hunter Howell, a political pundit focused on economic corruption and insider trading. We break down Citizens United and why it opened the floodgates for super PACs and dark money. Then we get into how politicians build war chests, why both parties get funded by the same interests, and how much of Congress is really run by staff behind the scenes.From there, we connect the corruption conversation to the bigger headlines, Iran, oil, and why markets can move off narratives and even presidential tweets. We wrap with practical resources for how to research political funding yourself and how Hunter thinks about building a third lane through economic populism.Support the show

Send us Fan MailThe Rothschild name shows up thousands of times in the Epstein files, but almost nobody in media wants to touch it. Today we break down who the Rothschilds are, why they mattered historically, and why they still matter now. We walk through the “corruption map”, the Balfour Declaration and the early banking timeline, then connect it to modern names like Les Wexner, Jeffrey Epstein, and Alan Dershowitz.Support the show

Send us Fan MailToday I sit down with Erik from Pathlayer to break down the crypto corruption web. We talk Trump family meme coins, World Liberty Financial, and why most crypto starts centralized with insiders controlling supply. We also get into Bitcoin vs crypto, how meme coins are designed to pull value from the public, and why stablecoins like Tether and USDC may be changing the banking system faster than most people realize. We finish by connecting the dots across Ripple, political money, big institutions, and why this whole space rewards attention more than truth.Support the show

Send us Fan MailWhy are we in Iran right now, and who is actually driving the decision making. Zach and Joe sit down with Julian Andreoli  @DropSiteNews   a Capitol Hill correspondent, to break down what lawmakers are saying in public, what they avoid, and why the official explanations keep shifting.We talk about lobbying, money, media narratives, and why “winning” in a conflict like this is so hard to define. Then we get into the deeper questions people keep asking, including the Epstein file angle, censorship pressure, and what this could turn into if the war escalates.Support the show

Send us Fan MailCabin Fever is back. Zach, Sean, and Joe sit down for an unscripted weekly style breakdown of what’s been happening, and what feels real versus what feels like noise. We start with a brutal hearing moment that set the tone for the week, then zoom out to the Iran, Israel, and U.S. involvement question and why people are so frustrated.From there we talk about how fast misinformation spreads online, how propaganda works, and why major stories like the Epstein files still feel locked behind redactions and leverage. We also get into oil, Venezuela, defense spending, and how money moves through war, media, and influence.Support the show

Send us Fan MailCabin fever is setting in, and the bigger picture feels impossible to ignore. We talk about why a “side hustle” isn’t extra income anymore, how Super Bowl ads felt like a snapshot of the future, and why so many people feel trapped between staying informed and protecting their peace.Then we dig into the culture war layer: selective outrage, politics swallowing religion, and what happens when people stop trusting institutions, media, and even reality itself. From there, the conversation turns toward the bigger web: elite connections, global power plays, and why the “normal life” advice feels harder to follow when the stakes feel personal.Support the show

Send us Fan MailMore Epstein updates and a timeline that keeps getting darker. We react to new comments around the Epstein files, dig into why key names were still redacted, and trace the connections between Les Wexner, the Mega Group, and major political influence. Then we follow the thread into shipping power, Greenland, and Ron Lauder’s link to Benjamin Netanyahu, plus the Fed chair connection through Kevin Warsh. This one is a fast moving web of names, money, and influence, with a reminder at the end to stay grounded and protect your energy. Support the show

Send us Fan Mail Zach sits down with Ryan for a wide ranging conversation about the patterns shaping the economy and everyday life. They talk about how money and power move through central banks, debt cycles, and financial incentives that most people never see. From there, the discussion shifts into the growing push toward digital identity systems, what “control” can look like in the real world, and why so many people feel like the rules keep changing for normal families. They also zoom out to talk about how fear, distraction, and information overload shape our behavior, and what you can do to stay grounded. The goal is not panic, it is clarity. If you have felt like the world is accelerating and you are trying to make sense of it, this conversation will help you connect the dots. Support the show

Send us Fan MailA new Fed chair may be coming in May and the name on the board is Kevin Warsh. In this episode we walk through Warsh’s public track record on inflation, the political pressure around Jerome Powell, and why mortgage rates do not simply follow Fed decisions.Then it gets deeper. We map the relationships behind Warsh through the Lauder family, the Greenland angle, and what shows up inside the newly released Epstein files. This is a timeline episode, focused on what we can actually verify, what looks suspicious, and why it matters for the economy, housing, and the next chapter of the Fed.Support the show

If you’re under 35 and feel like you have to be extraordinary just to live an ordinary life, this one’s for you.We break down how interest rates and the bond market feed straight into monthly payments, why builders keep chasing profits over price cuts, and why first-time buyers are boxed out even when they “do everything right.” We get real about mental health, hopelessness, and why cutting Netflix will not fix a math problem driven by housing, healthcare, and debt.Then we talk solutions. From rethinking zoning and permitting to investor fees that fund first-time buyers, to smarter multi-family and fractional ownership, we explore what could actually move the needle. We also cover the labor market reality behind headline unemployment, why 500 qualified applicants fight for one underpaid job, and how to navigate the next decade by owning scarce assets and staying financially mobile.Topics we cover:Housing affordability vs wages, and why costs exploded in the last five yearsRates, bonds, and why your annual mortgage interest doubledRenting vs buying in 2025 and the case for “renter + investor”Mental health, “deaths of despair,” and the pressure to run harder just to stand stillPractical policy ideas that help first-time buyers without killing small landlordsWhat builders actually respond to, and why supply keeps missing the markHow to position yourself: savings, debt strategy, and owning scarce assetsIf you care about the American Dream and what it takes to build a life right now, hit play, take notes, and share this with a friend who needs a clear, no-spin breakdown.Support the show
