CannCon and Chris Paul tackle a loaded Monday episode of Badlands Daily, cutting through the noise on the J6 Committee's mass data grab, 30 million phone records, and the constitutional overreach it represents. From FBI corruption and congressional spying to Biden's Ukraine cover-ups and Trump's strategic government “RIFs,” the hosts connect the dots between lawfare, censorship, and the unraveling of the old guard. They debate free speech for foreign visa holders, laugh through Illinois' fence fiasco, and expose how propaganda keeps America hypnotized. Between political absurdities and corporate shifts, yes, even Doritos reformulations, this episode balances sharp analysis with trademark Badlands humor.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is a blatant hoax cooked up by Zionist handlers in Israel, who blew him up with an exploding lavalier microphone just like they did to Hezbollah leaders with those pagers, same playbook, same radical Jews pulling the strings on our puppet government. Every doctored video, absurd patsy story, and suppressed eyewitness account is designed to bury the truth and pit Americans against each other, but we're awake now, exposing Netanyahu's occupation of America one lie at a time. Western civilization has been infected by a parasitic invasion of foreign ideals and values that have been introduced into our culture by strange and morally degenerate people whose goal is world domination. We have been OCCUPIED.

Triangulation is one of the covert narcissist's most insidious tools — because it's quiet, invisible, and devastating.It's how they control the narrative, twist communication, and turn the people you love against each other — all while pretending to be the calm, reasonable “peacekeeper.” In this episode, Renee shares two powerful stories that reveal how triangulation slowly poisons relationships: The first, a marriage where everything seems fine on the surface — until every conversation starts getting filtered through one partner's control. The second, a family where a covertly narcissistic parent quietly pits two siblings against each other for decades. Through these stories and a heartfelt reflection, you'll learn how triangulation erodes trust, damages connection, and keeps survivors trapped in confusion and self-doubt. Join Renee next week as she continues this conversation with how to step out of triangulation and begin repairing the relationships it's damaged. Because once you see the pattern, you can finally start breaking free from it.

Part 1: What Story Are You Living In?In Part 1, Ashley and Leslie sit down with Dr. Eva Bleeker, a professional chaplain and narrative identity expert, to explore a life-changing concept:

Feeling torn between chasing your goals and being present with your kids? You're not alone. Today, we unpack one of the most universal struggles for modern moms—mom guilt. From navigating judgment (from others and ourselves) to redefining what it means to be a “good mom,” we share how years of trial, error, and experience have shaped our confidence as both mothers and entrepreneurs. We explore what happens when guilt turns into growth, how to respond when your kids want more of you, and why compassion (not criticism) is the real key to peace. We also flip the script entirely—asking what would happen if we replaced “mom guilt” with “mom confidence.” You'll learn:Why mom guilt shows up (and what it's really trying to tell you)How to navigate travel, work, and family time without losing yourself in the processThe difference between self-criticism and self-compassion—and how to make the shiftWhy confidence often grows through moments of guilt and discomfortHow to reframe your mindset to lead with intention, not obligation Connect with Whitney & Stephanie: captureyourconfidencepodcast@gmail.comStephanie IG: @_stephanie_hanna_The Other 85: https://theother85.net/Whitney IG: @whitneyabrahamJoin the State of Women Conference on October 9, 2025: https://whitneyabraham.kartra.com/page/stateofwomenconference

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, Mayor Teresa Thomas-Smith shares a direct, practical lens on leadership: your inner voice sets the ceiling for your strategy, culture, and impact. We dig into stripping away the “best self” mask, why vulnerability is a leadership asset (not a weakness), and simple practices to rewrite self-talk so results shift—at work and at home. Expect grounded examples, a real story of reframing under pressure, and clear steps to build an authentic, values-led leadership presence. Search-friendly themes: leadership mindset, authentic leadership, inner narrative, self-talk, mental fitness for leaders, emotional resilience, boundaries, trauma-informed growth.   About the Guest  : Teresa Thomas-Smith is the first African American and first female Mayor of Palmetto, Georgia. A global speaker and transformational strategist, she champions “lead her ship”—leading from essence, not titles—through radical authenticity, compassion, and practical inner work.   Key Takeaways: Authenticity is whole-self leadership: stop performing a “best self” and lead as a full human so others feel safe to do the same. Self-talk is the foundation: strategy and skills are only as strong as the inner voice driving them. Name the ego, don't obey it: acknowledge the loud, critical voice and consciously choose the truer one. Give yourself grace: change happens “right now,” one choice at a time—especially when you feel stuck. Write your story: put the desired outcome on paper; clarity + intention reduce fear and organize action. Release what no longer serves: notice old vows, roles, or narratives and consciously let them go. Your energy leads the room: remembered essence creates lightness, connection, and trust in teams. Practical starter: when negative self-talk spikes, pause, name it, thank it for trying to protect you, and release it; then speak a truer sentence aloud.

The Democrats⁠ and their allies in the corporate media have been lying through their teeth about the government shutdown and their ridiculous demands to reopen the government. This week, Rep. Dusty Johnson, R-S.D., joins ⁠“The Signal Sitdown”⁠ to debunk the Left's chosen narratives about the government shutdown. ”They're big mad about Donald Trump,” Johnson tells The Daily Signal. “That's the 'A' answer. The 'B' answer is that [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer has a base problem, and this is a base management exercise for him.” Johnson went on to explain why Schumer's base pressured him into shutting down the government when the measures that the Senate is currently considering to end the shutdown are essentially appropriations levels set during the Biden administration, levels Congress voted to continue in March. “Chuck Schumer got rolled,” in that March funding battle, Johnson says.

Though Charlie Kirk couldn’t join us at the Cleveland Celebration Gala last month, his mission—and the passion behind it—was at the center of our conversation. Charlie’s Phoenix pastor, Luke Barnett, and Allie Beth Stuckey joined CCV President Aaron Baer to reflect on advancing truth, protecting life, and strengthening families in a culture increasingly at odds with God’s design. On this special episode of The Narrative, they discuss how politics can be a way of loving our neighbors without being the only way, the shifting role of marriage in society, and the vital need for discipleship. They also explore Charlie’s real legacy and the reality behind the effort it's taking to carry it forward. Listen in for a candid, faith-filled discussion on what it truly takes to stand for truth in a world that often seeks to silence it. MORE ABOUT ALLIE BETH STUCKEY Allie Beth Stuckey is the host of the podcast, Relatable, where she breaks down the latest in culture, news, and politics from a Christian, conservative perspective.

In 2015, Allie began speaking to college sororities about the importance of voting. What started as a hobby soon turned into a full-time career, with her blog, The Conservative Millennial, launching her into the political media sphere. Today, in addition to podcasting, writing, and making the occasional satirical video, Allie speaks to colleges and organizations about the importance of conservative values.

For the past couple of months, the billionaire father-son duo of Larry and David Ellison have been making deals involving major media brands. Having acquired Paramount, the parent company of CBS News, they appointed Bari Weiss - an outspoken supporter of Israel - as the network's editor-in-chief. The moves by the Ellisons are not just about growing their media empire, but about shaping the narrative around Israel in the US, where public support continues to decline. Contributors:  David Klion - Columnist, The Nation Danielle Moodie - Host, The Danielle Moodie Show Ryan Grim - Reporter, Drop Site News On our radar: Israel and Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a Gaza ceasefire, ending two years of genocide. It's a moment that brought relief to Palestinians in Gaza. But for Donald Trump, it was an opportunity for self-congratulation - with both he and his allies emphasising how pivotal he was in making things happen. Tariq Nafi has been following the story. Chega: How Portugal's media gave populism a megaphone In Portugal, the far-right party Chega, once on the fringes, is leading the polls, and its leader, Andre Ventura, has become one of the country's most recognisable political figures. Ventura's rise has been spurred by his television background and carefully crafted media persona. The onetime football pundit has become a political showman. And he's been amplified by the country's mainstream media, who have been chasing ratings over accountability.  Ryan Kohls reports.

Kenya and China have reached a groundbreaking agreement to restructure $3.5 billion in railway loans, converting them from U.S. dollars into Chinese yuan. The move could save Kenya $215 million in debt servicing costs and marks the first time an African nation has shifted major sovereign debt into RMB — a potential model for other Global South countries. In this episode, Eric & Géraud unpack what this deal really means for Kenya, China, and the broader narrative around China's “debt-trap diplomacy.” They explore how the agreement challenges old assumptions, what it says about the future of RMB internationalization, and whether other countries — like Indonesia — could follow suit.

According to the official account, on August 10, 2019, financier and convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. The New York City medical examiner concluded his death was a suicide by hanging, and a subsequent DOJ Inspector General probe found no evidence that someone else entered the cell or caused his death.At the same time, the report noted major failures in jail protocols: Epstein was left alone (no cellmate), required hourly checks by guards were skipped, the guards' logs were falsified, and parts of the video surveillance were malfunctioning or not recorded. While the negligence was serious, the IG did not assert that Epstein's death was homicide.to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

What is the one- to four-year game plan of the online Right other than clicks? I show how Democrats continue to crush Republicans in special elections, and yet we are not even dying on our own hills. I nostalgically look back to the 2013 Obamacare shutdown fight to contrast the two parties and to show how Democrats are united behind a message even when they have a losing hand to play. Republicans are on the cusp of losing on health care even when they have all three branches and the megaphone of Trump. Also, judicial supremacism continue to bog down every good Trump policy, with the SCOTUS ruling on nationwide injunctions proving to be a joke. I also offer some initial thoughts on the Gaza ceasefire and what to look for in the coming months.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the late 1930s, fieldworkers with the Works Progress Administration interviewed about 3,500 formerly enslaved people resulting in approximately 20,000 pages of unedited typescripts. This collection of oral histories is arguably the single greatest body of African American folklore extant, and a significant portion is devoted to folk music and song. John Minton's Folk Music and Song in the WPA Ex-Slave Narratives (UP of Mississippi, 2024) examines the musical references in these narratives. A combination of reference information and analysis, Minton contextualizes and scrutinizes the vocal and instrumental music the narrators talked about, explains the various musical and cultural influences on Black folk music, and discusses the place of music and dance in the lives of enslaved people. He covers instrumental music and social dancing, spirituals and hymns, singing games and lullabies, ring plays and reels, worksongs, minstrel songs, ballads, war songs, slavery laments, and more. In the course of this exhaustive book, Minton helps his readers understand the lives of the narrators and the conditions in which they lived before and after emancipation.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. Mohammed Alsudairi and Dr. Andrea Ghiselli join us to discuss their newly released book Narratives of Sino-Middle Eastern Futures. They challenge prevailing narratives that frame China's engagement in the Middle East primarily through the lens of U.S.–China rivalry and offer alternative perspectives by drawing on extensive Arabic and Chinese-language sources to highlight how regional actors themselves interpret and shape their relationships with Beijing. Drawing on Saudi Arabia and Syria as the two core case studies in their book, they show how regional  perceptions of China diverge sharply depending on various factors such as national capabilities and alignment with the United States. The conversation also examines China's diplomacy toward Iran, its muted response to the Israel–Iran conflict, and why both Chinese and regional leaders prefer to limit Beijing's security role. Dr. Alsudairi and Dr. Ghiselli conclude that the future of Sino–Middle Eastern relations will likely reflect cautious continuity—marked by pragmatic engagement and mutual restraint.   Dr. Alsudairi is a Lecturer in Politics and International Relations of the Arabic Speaking World, Center for Arab and Islamic Studies, at the Australian National University. Prior to his appointment, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Hong Kong, working on a project examining the intersections between religion and infrastructure in the context of China's Belt and Road Initiative. Since 2015, he oversaw the development of the Asian Studies Program at the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. More recently in 2022, he was awarded a research fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation to work on his upcoming book manuscript.  Dr. Ghiselli is a Lecturer in International Politics in the Department of Social and Political Sciences, Philosophy, and Anthropology of the University of Exeter. He is also non-resident research fellow with the TOChina Hub and the Head of Research for its ChinaMed Project. He has previously worked in China at Fudan University for nine years. You can find an open access version of their book here.

This week, “Monster: The Ed Gein Story” is the most watched show on Netflix. It's a dramatized retelling of the life of the serial killer who inspired “Psycho” and “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” The “Monster” franchise, which includes two earlier seasons about Jeffrey Dahmer and Lyle and Erik Menendez, is one of Netflix's splashiest hits – the Dahmer season is still the fourth-most viewed English language show in the history of the platform. And the true crime obsession only grows each year. On Netflix last year, 15 of the top 20 documentaries were true crime docs, compared to just six in 2020. But what does it mean for the subjects of these documentaries, that Americans endlessly crave stories about murder and bloodshed and terror? John J. Lennon is a contributing editor for Esquire and writes frequently for New York Review of Books and the New York Times. This week, he spoke to host Brooke Gladstone from Sing Sing Correctional Facility, where he's serving his 24th year of his 28-year-to-life sentence for murder, drug sales, and gun possession. They spoke about his new book, The Tragedy of True Crime, what it was like to watch himself get featured in a true crime documentary, and why he wants to upend the typical 'true crime' narratives of good vs. evil.  On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

Commerce, Conflict, and the High-Risk Sealing Voyage Guest: Eric Jay Dolin Left for Dead is set during the War of 1812, documenting a collision between young America and Britain in the contested Falkland Islands. The narrative begins with the highly lucrative sealing commerce, which involved gathering millions of seal skins and sea otter pelts for sale primarily in China. American sealer Charles Barnard proposed a high-risk voyage aboard the brig Nanina to Murray and Son, aiming to exploit the projected pent-up demand due to reduced competition. Despite the imminent war, they left New York Harbor just as an embargo was placed. The crew included Barnard's elderly, infirm father, Valentine, who was intended to sail the initial cargo back to New York. The presence of four experienced sealing captains among the crew, including diarist Barzillai Pease, created a potential "recipe for disaster."
