The Zach Foust Show

Send us Fan Mail Joe Kent resigned from inside the government because he watched it happen in real time. Israeli officials and mega donors like Miriam Adelson bypassed official intelligence channels to feed the president and his inner circle a single message over and over again until US policy changed. Not through force. Through access. Through repetition. Through the echo chamber of think tanks,...

Send us Fan Mail I drove ten hours from Delaware to Florence, Kentucky. No high speed rail. No public transit. Just exit after exit of McDonald's, Exxon, and Subway while billions of dollars flood overseas and our own infrastructure crumbles. I sat down with James Lee, 5149 on all platforms, for a real conversation about what this Massie primary actually means and why both of us felt like we...

Send us Fan Mail Trump just said it himself — he's not thinking about your financial situation. So somebody has to. The war in Iran has gas over $4, car loan delinquencies at an all time high, and median home prices requiring six figures just to qualify. Nobody in Washington is fixing this for you. So let's fix it ourselves. In this episode I'm walking you through 8 steps — survivin...

Send us Fan Mail Cabin 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 l...

Send us Fan Mail The 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 do...

Send us Fan Mail Everyone 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, l...

Send us Fan Mail We 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...

Send us Fan Mail The 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...

Send us Fan Mail Money 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 l...

Send us Fan Mail If 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 b...

Send us Fan Mail The 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...

Send us Fan Mail Cabin 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...

Send us Fan Mail This 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....

Send us Fan Mail The 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 ce...

Send us Fan Mail The 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...

Send us Fan Mail The 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,...

Send us Fan Mail Today 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 syste...

Send us Fan Mail Why 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...

Send us Fan Mail Cabin 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 misinformatio...

Send us Fan Mail Cabin 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 h...

Send us Fan Mail More 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...

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,...

Send us Fan Mail A 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 i...
