They break down the episode's portrayal of Matthew's calling, Simon's internal struggle, and the emotional tension of choosing faith when circumstances feel unfair or overwhelming. Ashe highlights the practical difficulty of “turning the other cheek” in real life, especially in a world filled with political conflict, betrayal, and personal friction—while Ghost connects the episode's themes to Old Testament patterns, first-century culture, and the transformative shift Jesus demands from those who follow Him. Together they reflect on obedience, identity, and the cost of stepping into a new life with Christ, closing with insights on how viewers can apply these teachings in their own daily walk.

CannCon and Ashe in America open Book 4 of Badlands Book Club with Smedley Butler's explosive anti-war classic War is a Racket, breaking down Butler's life, military career, and how a twice-decorated Marine Corps general became one of America's fiercest critics of war profiteering. They read and analyze the first chapters, highlighting Butler's blunt claim that war enriches the few while destroying the many, his examples of corporate greed masking as patriotism, and the staggering profits made by bankers, munitions makers, and industrialists during World War I. Ashe and CannCon compare Butler's era to today's military-industrial landscape, discuss the psychological and physical toll on veterans, and examine how propaganda, politics, and financial interests continue to shape public support for conflict. It's a sharp, eye-opening start to a book that proves shockingly relevant nearly a century later.

CannCon and Ashe in America dive into a packed Monday news cycle, starting with the Biden administration's sudden push to blame “AI deepfakes” for upcoming election interference, a narrative both hosts argue is preemptive damage control for collapsing public trust. They break down the Supreme Court's newest filings, Biden's border humiliation as red states openly defy DHS, and the administration's bizarre insistence on forcing EV mandates even as automakers rebel. CannCon and Ashe also cover the media's panicked framing of Trump's rising poll numbers, internal Democrat fractures over immigration, and the strange legal positioning around the J6 pipe-bomber case. With sharp analysis, receipts, and plenty of sarcasm, they lay out how narrative engineering, lawfare, and institutional decay are converging as 2025 barrels forward.  

Jon Herold opens the show reflecting on a news cycle that feels strangely empty, until he dives into the only story that actually matters: Patrick Byrne's explosive admission that he has been CIA all along. Jon walks through Byrne's conflicting claims, shifting narratives, and the bombshell implications for election-integrity efforts, the Russia hoax, Tina Peters, and ongoing RICO investigations. Joined mid-show by Ashe in America, he unpacks her detailed thread questioning Byrne's credibility, his funding of key election-related operations, and whether his involvement helped shape prosecutions, psyops, or legislative outcomes. They revisit Byrne's past stories about Maria Butina, Brennan, Comey, and his 2020 pressure campaign on Trump, examining how his newly admitted CIA role reframes everything, from Mesa County to Mike Lindell's PCAPs to today's Venezuela narratives. Jon closes with sharp commentary on psychological warfare, controlled narratives, and why no one in the movement, himself included, should be above scrutiny, reminding viewers that discernment, not blind trust, is the only way to stay unruggable.
