In 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.

This is a worldkno.
SPEAKER_01 (00:09):
I'm Jeff Fallon Wolf.
This is A World Gone Mad.
Welcome to the Friday edition.
I'm going to do somethingdifferent this episode.
Because of the holidays, 90% ofyou are not listening to any of
my podcast episodes in the lastmonth.
Those remaining episodes aregoing to be shorter episodes for
(00:32):
the rest of this year.
Also, the TikTok live broadcaststhat I was doing are stopped.
I'm going to have a majorannouncement at the end of the
year about my podcast.
Also, to all the Wolfpacklisteners, I still have my
holiday fundraiser for mypodcast to help offset some of
(00:54):
the costs associated with doingthis podcast for two years.
Now my initial goal is to raise$1,500 before the holidays at
the end of the year.
To those of you that didcontribute, thank you.
Those few dollars are a start.
Any small amount from mylisteners truly helps.
(01:17):
Okay, let's get into all thecraziness from Donald and his
supporters.
Here we go.
I'm absolutely sick about this.
The Kennedy Center.
The Kennedy Center.
A national memorial createdafter a president was
(01:38):
assassinated.
Now the space meant to honor artculture and the idea that this
country is bigger than any oneego.
And now they're slapping DonaldTrump's name on it like it's a
failed casino he just wanderedinto and claimed with a sharpie.
This isn't honoring history.
It's a hostile rebrand slappedonto a national memorial.
(02:02):
Let's be clear about what thisis.
This isn't preservation.
This isn't philanthropy.
This is pure ego managementdressed up as public service.
This is Donald Trump, a man whocan't stand the idea of walking
past something important withoutseeing his own name staring back
(02:23):
at him.
It's branding addiction.
It's narcissism withscaffolding.
And the fact that the legalityof this move is even in question
should tell you everything.
Congress designated this as amemorial to John F.
Kennedy after he was murdered.
(02:44):
Not a vanity mirror for a guywho thinks applause is a form of
nutrition.
And the explanation?
Oh my lord, the explanation.
We're saving the building.
We saved the building.
The building was weak.
The building was sad.
The building was probably meanto Trump first.
(03:08):
This is the same script everytime.
Trump states, I alone can fixit.
I alone rescued it.
Without me, Donald, the wallswould crumble and the ghost of
culture would cry.
It's the language of a man whothinks institutions only exist
if he's standing on them takingcredit.
(03:30):
Now what makes this worse is howit was done.
Donald gutted the Kennedy board,pushed people out, installed his
loyalists, then Trump magicallyelects himself chair, like this
is some third-rate HOA meetingin Florida.
That's not stewardship.
(03:50):
That's a hostile takeover of acultural landmark.
And the message is loud andclear.
If it exists, if it matters, ifit has meaning, I, Donald Trump,
want my name on it, or I'll tearit apart until it does have my
name.
Even the Kennedy family issaying this is beyond
(04:11):
comprehension.
And they're right.
Because it is.
This isn't politicaldisagreement.
This is cultural vandalism.
It's taking a memorial built outof tragedy and turning it into a
trophy case for Donald Trump'sinsecurity.
You don't honor JFK by staplingTrump to his legacy.
(04:33):
You erase the point of thememorial entirely.
And don't miss the pattern.
This is the second federalbuilding this month.
This is about rewriting publicspace into private branding.
It's about training people toaccept that power means
ownership, that public meansDonald Trump's.
(04:54):
That history is flexible ifyou're loud enough.
This is what authoritarian egolooks like when it wears a suit
and smiles for cameras.
This isn't strength, it'sdesperation.
It's Trump terrified of beingforgotten, trying to carve his
name into stone while he stillcan.
And the fact that his supporterscheer this should make us all
(05:18):
wonder about their mental stateof mind.
Because if they're okay withthis, if this becomes normal,
then nothing public stays publicfor long.
This isn't America evolving oradapting or fixing anything.
This is what it looks like whenTrump loyalists let one man
autograph its institutions.
(05:41):
Now this one should scare thehell out of everyone.
Because buried inside all theuniforms and legal jargon is a
message that sounds calm,reasonable, and professional,
but is actually radioactive.
The top lawyer for the JointChiefs is telling the top
general that if a militaryofficer believes they've been
(06:04):
given an unlawful order, theyshould quietly request
retirement.
Not refuse the order, notchallenge the order, not expose
it, just step aside anddisappear.
Think about how insane that is.
The guidance isn't fight it, theguidance isn't report it, the
(06:29):
guidance is exit the buildingand let someone else pull the
trigger.
That's not legal clarity.
That's institutional cowardicewrapped in polite language.
And it turns the concept ofmilitary honor completely upside
down.
This came up because Democraticlawmakers urge troops to disobey
(06:49):
illegal orders if they receivethem.
And instead of the systemsaying, good, that's how the law
works, the response was panic.
Lawyers scrambling, officialsfurious, everyone clutching
pearls like the real danger issomeone saying no to an unlawful
command instead of the unlawfulcommand itself.
And here's what the law actuallysays: a commissioned officer has
(07:15):
every right to say this iswrong, should not be expected to
quietly and silently walk awayjust because they're offered a
free pass to do so.
That's not activism.
That's duty, that'saccountability.
Here's the core problem.
If the advice to officers isretire quietly, you're
(07:38):
guaranteeing silence.
You're guaranteeing that badorders don't get challenged.
They just get passed down theline until someone younger,
poorer, or less protectedcarries them out.
That's not restraint.
That's launderingresponsibility.
And this isn't theoretical.
(07:58):
Since Donald Trump took officein January, more than a dozen
senior officers have either beenfired or pushed into early
retirement.
That is an unusually high levelof turnover.
And it sends a very clearmessage to anyone still wearing
the uniform.
And let's not ignore thecontext.
This is happening while there'sintense scrutiny over military
(08:21):
operations that may have crossedlegal lines, including the
September 2nd double-tap strikeon a suspected drug smuggling
boat operating in the CaribbeanSea near Venezuelan waters.
U.S.
forces allegedly fired again onthe same vessel after the
initial strike, killingsurviving occupants.
(08:44):
That's not hypothetical ethicsclass stuff.
That's real blood, realconsequences, and real
accountability beingsidestepped.
They'll tell you this is aboutavoiding politicization of the
military, that resigning orprotesting looks political.
Bullshit.
Refusing an illegal order isn'tpolitical.
(09:06):
It's literally required.
Even the Secretary of Defensehas blurred this line.
In a speech to hundreds ofgeneral and flag officers, Pete
Hex hath told them to do thehonorable thing and resign if
they didn't agree with hisvision for the department.
But disagreeing with leadershipis not the same thing as being
(09:27):
ordered to do something illegal.
Conflating those two isdangerous.
The Uniform Code of MilitaryJustice doesn't say obey unless
it's awkward.
It says unlawful orders are notorders.
Period.
What's being encouraged here isa culture where the safest move
(09:47):
is silence, where seniorofficers vanish instead of
speak, where the public neverhears dissent, never sees
friction, never knows how closethe system came to crossing a
line.
That's not stability.
That's rot.
And when the Secretary ofDefense tells officers to resign
(10:11):
if they don't agree with hisvision, that's not leadership
either.
That's loyalty testing.
As former Army Jag lawyer DanMuir put it, the guidance being
described fundamentallymisunderstands what surface
members are supposed to do whenfaced with an unlawful order.
If the order is illegal, youdisobey it.
(10:31):
You attempt to stop or modifyit, and you report it up the
chain of command.
That is the system working asdesigned.
Even former military lawyers aresaying this guidance gets it
wrong.
If an order is unlawful, youdisobey it, you report it, you
push back up the chain.
That's how accountability works.
(10:51):
That's how you prevent warcrimes.
That's how you protect thecountry and the people wearing
the uniform.
Because once the standardbecomes retire quietly and don't
make waves, the message isclear.
The system would rather lose itsconscience than confront its
power.
And that should make everyAmerican deeply uncomfortable.
(11:16):
Now I normally do news from theedge of sanity here on a Friday,
but the edge of sanity kickedthe door down and started
screaming.
Because Donald Trump gave an18-minute televised address to
the nation that felt less like aspeech and more like a
neurological stress test.
And Wolfpack listeners, he didnot pass.
(11:40):
This wasn't a formal State ofthe Union address.
This was a stream ofconsciousness audition tape from
Trump who thinks volume equalsfacts and repetition equals
truth.
Donald bragged about the economywhile describing an economy that
does not exist.
Trump claimed inflation is gonewhile people are still choosing
(12:03):
between groceries and rent.
Apparently, in Trump's America,numbers just behave better out
of respect for him.
Trump stood there with hisspeech and said the border is
both completely overrun andcompletely fixed, depending on
which sentence you caught.
Millions pouring in, totalcontrol restored, crisis
(12:26):
apocalypse, perfect management.
Pick a lane, Donald, or at leastfinish the damn sentence before
contradicting yourself like aconfused GPS yelling,
recalculating.
Then came foreign policy, whichsounded like it was explained to
Trump in an elevator that neverreached the right floor.
(12:48):
Trump talked tough about enemieshe couldn't properly identify.
He bragged about strength whiledescribing chaos.
At one point, Trump flat outclaimed during his speech he had
ended eight wars, withoutexplaining which wars, where
they were, or how exactly heended them.
(13:09):
At one point it felt like Trumpwas threatening world leaders
who were not even involved, justin case someone needed a
reminder that coherence isoptional now.
And the economy.
Oh my lord, the economy.
Trump took credit for job growththat happened when he wasn't in
office.
(13:30):
Donald blamed current problemson everyone except himself,
including people who haven'theld power in years.
According to Trump's logic, hedeserves credit for the good
things and retroactive innocencefor the bad things.
That's not leadership, Donald.
That's astrology.
Trump wandered into energypolicy and immediately got lost.
(13:54):
Windmills killing birds again.
Energy independence achieved byyelling louder.
Facts were treated like rudeinterruptions.
At no point did Trump seem awarethat people listening actually
live in the real world whereutility bills exist.
And what made this worse was thedelivery of his 18-minute
(14:16):
speech.
Slurred phrasing, repeatedphrases, sentences restarting
mid-sentence like Trump's brainhit a buffering wheel.
Donald circled the same pointsover and over, not for emphasis,
but because he genuinely seemedstuck.
It was less persuasive speechand more cognitive treadmill.
(14:37):
And the people in the room toldthe story.
Applause on cue.
Silence when logic was required.
Laughter at moments that werenot jokes.
This wasn't a rally of ideas, itwas a loyalty recital.
Clap now, think later, or don'tthink at all.
Here's the dangerous part,listeners.
(14:58):
This wasn't just absurd.
It was normalized absurdity.
Donald Trump, clearly strugglingto organize thoughts, was
presenting himself as the steadyhand.
Falsehoods were deliveredconfidently enough that they
dared you to challenge them.
And millions will hear it andsay he sounded strong.
(15:18):
Strength has been redefined asrefusing correction.
This is not about politicsanymore.
This is about Donald's brainhealth, accountability, and the
terrifying reality that we arepretending in coherence is
leadership, becauseacknowledging it would require
coverage.
18 minutes from Donald, no plan,no clarity, no connection to
(15:45):
reality.
And we're supposed to treat thatas a major address to the
nation.
That wasn't a message to thecountry.
That was Donald Trump talking incircles and calling it
direction.
Donald Trump, the delusionalone, is getting worse by the
minute.
(16:06):
And that puts everyone in thiscountry in danger.
In lieu of news from the edge ofsanity, I had to talk about this
insane speech from Donald Trump.
I can't say that this put asmile on your face, but it does
let all of us know that DonaldTrump has lost it big time.
(16:29):
And we're watching day by daythe destruction and melting down
of the president of the UnitedStates.
A quick added note right beforeI went to record this, the
Epstein files were released.
And just as we thought, heavilyredacted and posted notes
blocking everything andcontinuing bullshit and a
(16:50):
cover-up from the Republicans.
The most corrupt administrationin the history of our country.
That's another episode of AWorld Gone Mad.
Just a friendly reminder to allof you.
I'm still looking for moresupport in the way of a small
donation for the podcast.
Don't let that word donationscare you.
(17:13):
A few dollars here, a fewdollars there helps me
tremendously.
I'm hoping that some of you outthere will understand and will
please contribute.
For two years, I've never askedanyone to pay for my podcast.
And I'm not doing that now.
I'm just asking for a littlefriendly help around the
(17:34):
holidays to allow me to getthrough the rest of the year.
Thank you in advance.
This is the World Gone Mad.
I'm Jeff Allen Wolf.
I'll be back Monday.
Until then, Wolfpack listeners,remain skeptical, keep focused,
but most of all, stay hopeful.
SPEAKER_00 (17:51):
