They Lied About COVID Now the Truth Is Emerging… is Fauci DONE? - SF735 Jun 26, 2026

Show notes

Sonia Elijah joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about the legacy of the COVID pandemic, the origins of the virus, government transparency, censorship, gain-of-function research, and the growing concerns surrounding public health institutions. Drawing on years of investigative journalism and hundreds of cited sources from her book 311: Viral Takeover, we examine the lab-leak debate, Freedom of Information disclosures, media coordination, digital censorship, the expansion of state power, and why Sonia argues the pandemic became a turning point in the relationship between governments, technology and individual freedom.

The 'King of the North' Tries to Save Britain as Fauci Faces Reckoning - SF734 Jun 24, 2026

Show notes

Keir Starmer's resignation has thrown British politics into fresh uncertainty, with Andy Burnham emerging as the clear favourite to inherit Labour's leadership and potentially Downing Street. As Burnham begins outlining his vision for Britain, we examine what another change of prime minister means for a country that has already cycled through six leaders in seven years, and whether Labour's self-styled "King of the North" represents real change or more of the same. We also look at the growing controversy surrounding his immigration and economic proposals, the unexpected cultural story emerging from the World Cup as foreign visitors discover an America that looks very different from the one often portrayed in international media, and the mounting pressure on Anthony Fauci as he prepares to testify under oath following a subpoena from Rand Paul, reigniting debates about the origins of COVID, government transparency, and whether the biggest questions of the pandemic were ever properly answered.

BREAKING: Keir Starmer Officially Resigns! - SF733 Jun 22, 2026

Show notes

Keir Starmer has resigned, bringing a dramatic end to one of the most turbulent periods in recent British politics. As the country absorbs the shock, questions are already being asked about what forced his departure, who takes over next, and whether a change in leadership can address the deeper issues driving public frustration.

Later in the show, I'm joined by Ryan Miller for the first part of a wide-ranging conversation about faith, identity, spiritual warfare, meekness, purpose, and what it means to surrender ambition, ego and worldly success in pursuit of Christ. We explore Ryan's journey from chasing success in sport, media and ministry to discovering a different understanding of strength, alongside discussions about culture, power, technology, spiritual authority, and the challenges facing Christians in the modern world.

"Dear Hart" | SS09 Jun 21, 2026

Show notes

This is the last week we'll have this podcast on this feed, please search 'Sunday Service with The Brands' wherever you get your podcasts and subscribe to the show there. Thank you Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sunday-service-with-the-brands/id1896803462 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/033m4Z79z2EuyRTjcbgmDx?si=bCJhLU8cTWm3bY2Q7d7D-A

In this Sunday Service The Brands contemplate and discuss The Righteous Gemstones, Romans 6-8 and our participation in God's Creation as family. We marvel at how Helen Keller saw the moonlit sky from a canoe and Russell's experience of insecurity in Brixton Prison and how a graceful deer shows us how to see from our heart.

Trump Pissed Off The Globalists at G7 - SF732 Jun 19, 2026

Show notes

Today we're looking at a G7 summit that increasingly feels shaped around Donald Trump, as world leaders grapple with growing tensions over Iran, Ukraine, trade and cultural issues. From awkward diplomatic moments involving Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron to Trump's warnings of further military action against Iran and his uncompromising stance on transgender issues, we examine what these developments reveal about the current balance of power in the West and why Trump appears to be setting the agenda rather than responding to it. Beyond the official meetings, clashes between anti-G7 protesters and police highlight a widening gap between global institutions and a public that is becoming increasingly skeptical of political elites, international governance and the direction of the Western world.

Later in the show, I'm joined by political strategist Mike Nellis for a conversation about American politics, media, messaging, the Democratic Party's future, and the forces shaping the next phase of the political landscape.

🚨 BREAKING: Britain's Biggest Scandal In Decades Just Dropped - SF731 Jun 17, 2026

Show notes

A major new report into Britain's grooming gang scandal is reigniting questions about accountability, institutional failure and whether the authorities charged with protecting vulnerable children looked the other way for far too long. Allegations that serious offences were frequently met with cautions rather than prosecution, alongside renewed scrutiny of decisions made while Keir Starmer led the CPS, are fueling a wider debate about justice, media silence and why so many people feel the truth was ignored for years. Against that backdrop, Starmer's proposed social media ban for under-16s is raising a separate but related question: if protecting children is now the government's highest priority, why do so many people believe previous failures to protect children have never been properly addressed? Together, these stories touch on trust, accountability, censorship, child protection and the growing disconnect between public institutions and the people they are supposed to serve.

The Memeification of Politics - SF730 Jun 15, 2026

Show notes

Take Control of Your Money and claim $10 in US Stablecoin (USD₮)! Download now at wallet.rumble.com/brand and use the code BRAND10.

A Green Party candidate becomes an internet meme after a clash over immigration and housing, while a brief encounter between Jerry Seinfeld and a pro-Palestine activist sparks another viral political moment. We explore how modern politics is increasingly shaped not by arguments or policies, but by facial expressions, reaction clips, awkward exchanges, and shareable moments that race around social media. From politicians reduced to memes to public figures judged on a few seconds of footage, we're asking whether political debate is being replaced by performance, symbolism, and viral content.

We're also talking with Ben Peterson - this is a preview of my appearance on The Ben Peterson Show, subscribe on YouTube to see the full episode and to see more from Ben - https://www.youtube.com/@TheBenPetersonShow/

Human Nature; why you do me that way? | SS8 Jun 14, 2026

Show notes

We're moving this show to it's own feed, please search 'Sunday Service with The Brands' wherever you get your podcasts and subscribe there. We will only be publishing a few more episodes here. Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sunday-service-with-the-brands/id1896803462 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/033m4Z79z2EuyRTjcbgmDx?si=bCJhLU8cTWm3bY2Q7d7D-A

In this Sunday Service, we were inspired by Norman Grubb's book No Independent Self and his central idea that every person lives by a spirit source: either the self-life or the life of God Himself.

We are reminded of Jesus' teaching on the vine and the branches, and we consider what it means to live from God's life rather than our own especially when we meet challenges in daily life and in parenthood.

Finally, drawing wisdom from Wendell Berry, we explore how the natural world reveals that some of life's deepest beauty and meaning emerge through encounter, resistance, and relationship, reminding us that we were never meant to be self-sufficient, but rooted in the source of all life.

What The Media Refuses to Admit About Karmelo Anthony... - SF729 Jun 12, 2026

Show notes

The conviction of Carmelo Anthony has reignited a national debate about race, justice, violence and the growing collapse of trust in public institutions. As supporters and critics interpret the case through radically different lenses, the reaction reveals a society increasingly divided along racial, political and cultural lines, where even the most tragic events quickly become symbols in much larger battles. Rather than focusing solely on guilt or innocence, we examine what these public confrontations reveal about forgiveness, justice, social division and the deeper forces driving people further apart at a time when faith in the legal system, media and one another appears to be rapidly eroding. Also in the show, I'm talking with Mel Carmine, entrepreneur, filmmaker, and independent media creator. We discuss free speech, digital censorship, decentralized finance, and the growing tension between centralized institutions and emerging technologies. Mel shares his views on blockchain, alternative financial systems, government power, and the ideas explored in his documentaries, including Dear Mr. President and Show Me The Money, as well as his plans for a new free-speech-focused media platform.

Belfast Burns After Migrant Arrested in Brutal Knife Attack! - SF728 Jun 10, 2026

Show notes

A knife attack in Belfast has triggered unrest across Northern Ireland, with riots, clashes with police, arson attacks and growing public anger bringing deeper tensions to the surface. As politicians, commentators and activists battle to define the narrative, the debate has expanded far beyond the attack itself to encompass crime, migration, public safety, political double standards and the widening disconnect between ordinary people and the institutions that govern them. With competing claims, accusations of exploitation, and growing distrust on all sides, the question is no longer just what happened in Belfast, but what the reaction reveals about the state of the United Kingdom today.
