Podcasts about Badlands

Despite a few technical hiccups, CannCon and Alpha Warrior deliver a packed episode of Badlands Daily covering the latest developments in the political and cultural battlefield. They dive into Trump's federal response to the border crisis, highlighting ICE raids, National Guard action in L.A., and growing legal tension with California leadership. The hosts also unpack Elon Musk's tweet about “executing people” for crimes against humanity, an eyebrow-raising statement with possible narrative and psychological operations at play. Juneteenth makes headlines again as Kamala Harris's controversial comments continue to spark backlash, and Simone Biles becomes the latest elite figure to falter in the culture war. CannCon and Alpha also discuss media manipulation, the continued erosion of trust in legacy outlets, and the crumbling illusions of the regime. It's a glitchy but potent installment of daily commentary you won't want to miss.

In this episode of Badlands Story Hour, Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive deep into Tim Burton's Big Fish, unpacking its emotional and philosophical resonance with the storytelling lens they apply to today's political and cultural narratives. They explore the central father-son conflict through the metaphor of narrative trust, examining how intention shapes perception, and how storytelling itself can be a form of deeper truth. Drawing parallels between the film's protagonist Edward Bloom and figures like Donald Trump, the hosts argue that exaggerated tales, when rooted in good faith, may reveal more than literal facts ever could. The conversation seamlessly connects themes of myth, memory, verisimilitude, and the psychological need for narrative coherence in a world awash in psyops. It's a poignant meditation on identity, legacy, and the power of fiction to shape our reality.

On this news-packed edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Chris Paul are joined at the top of the show by Ashe in America for a breakdown of the latest developments in the Lindell v. Coomer trial, including key testimony, media silence, and the broader implications for election integrity. The hosts then turn to the situation in Los Angeles, where ICE raids and National Guard enforcement continue under Trump's directive, sparking legal backlash from Gavin Newsom. They cover Kamala Harris's viral Juneteenth comments, RFK Jr.'s controversial “bloodline” remarks, and a growing cultural backlash against elite messaging. With headlines unraveling and narrative cracks widening, this episode delivers sharp analysis on the day's most important political and legal stories.

On this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ghost tackle the latest wave of ICE raids in Los Angeles and the ensuing legal and political battles. With Gavin Newsom suing the Trump administration over National Guard deployment and mainstream media downplaying violent protests, the hosts break down how narrative warfare is being used to manipulate public perception. They also examine the potential for Trump to name his VP pick soon, possibly J.D. Vance, and what that means for the campaign's strategy. Other topics include the manipulation of news cycles around arrests and releases, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s controversial “bloodline” comment, and the possible psyop surrounding Elon Musk. With humor, insight, and plenty of fire, CannCon and Ghost expose the deeper moves being made behind the scenes of the chaos.

Rob Britton stole the show Saturday morning at UNBOUND. He not only passed Lachlan Morton after a 200km chase, but he forced the UNBOUND organizers to rethink their morning strategy because he crossed the line just before 9am, when there's traditionally a 50 mile roll out. He rode the nearly 360 mile in smoking fast pace! Rob is not new to racing, as he's won some of North America's biggest road races. With the switch to gravel in 2022, he's has big results in the LTGP and plenty of other big events. With success at Badlands, the BC Epic, and others, the ultra distance is nothing new to Rob either.

Hosted by CannCon and Zak "RedPill78" Paine, this episode of Badlands Daily unpacks the latest political theater with sharp insight and unapologetic takes. The duo dissects the so-called rift between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, weighing whether it's a real disagreement or a scripted psyop to confuse the enemy. They analyze the chaos in Los Angeles through a “trap narrative” lens, suggesting it's a strategic move by Team Trump to bait bad actors into exposing themselves. With speculation mounting around Trump's potential VP pick, possibly J.D. Vance, and a possible July announcement, the summer is shaping up to be anything but quiet. Other highlights include commentary on RICO charges in Georgia, the media's flip-flop treatment of Elon, the looming battle over Julian Assange, and Stephen Miller's legal warpath. It's a punchy, no-holds-barred episode that frames the week's events as part of a high-stakes game for control of the narrative and the future.

On the June 6th episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine tackle the growing fractures in the establishment narrative. They begin by unpacking a major media shakeup at Florida's Voice tied to Governor Ron DeSantis, raising questions about strategic realignments, internal power plays, and political positioning ahead of 2028. The hosts explore Trump's rising support from black voters post-conviction, the deep state's desperation to contain the fallout, and how the public is starting to see through the fog of legal warfare. They analyze Biden's latest embarrassing gaffes and ask whether even legacy media can continue carrying water for a clearly failing figurehead. Zak and CannCon also dive into the chilling implications of artificial intelligence being rolled into the administrative state, bringing up real concerns about control, censorship, and digital warfare. From corporate crackdowns on political speech to foreign policy distractions and the realignment of public sentiment, this episode shines a light on the chaos, and clarity, that come when the narrative can no longer hold. With sharp commentary and keen observations, they reveal just how close we may be to a tipping point.

On this June 5th edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon dissects the ongoing media meltdown surrounding Trump's conviction, focusing on narrative manipulation and the bizarre decision to seal the juror list, despite the supposed “danger” being over. He analyzes how Trump's post-verdict fundraising surge and improving poll numbers signal that the public isn't buying the mainstream narrative. CannCon also touches on inflation and the growing disconnect between economic data and lived reality, spotlighting how Americans continue to feel the pressure at the grocery store. With his trademark clarity and directness, he highlights the system's increasingly obvious contradictions and previews what to watch next as the regime narrative continues to fracture.

In this June 4th edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Chris Paul walk through the latest developments in the Trump trial aftermath, focusing on Judge Merchan's questionable decisions, including the sudden sealing of juror names, and how these moves reveal the deeper dysfunction of a weaponized justice system. They explore the media's shifting tone as public support for Trump continues to rise, particularly among minority voters, and how that momentum is being met with desperation from regime actors. The hosts also examine the bizarre contradictions within the Biden campaign's messaging and fundraising efforts, pointing to signs of a campaign running on fumes. From Trump's strategically timed posts to the public's growing disillusionment with government institutions, CannCon and Chris highlight the unraveling trust in the system as a whole. With sharp analysis and grounded skepticism, the duo tie together legal chaos, media failures, and cultural shifts, asking whether this engineered breakdown is part of a much bigger awakening.

In this June 4th edition of the RattlerGator Report, J.B. White broadcasts from Florida on a jam-packed Wednesday, blending personal updates with global analysis and deep Southern storytelling. He opens with reflections on Ukraine, praising American technological support and dismantling mainstream narratives about Putin, Russia, and the CIA's role. JB warns that global power structures are shifting, and those ignoring asymmetric warfare are already behind. He weaves in a heartfelt tribute to TK Adams, a legendary Georgia bandleader, and uses his story to highlight the beauty and self-sufficiency of the “True South”, not the caricature, but the real, complex cultural heritage. JB also dives into the transformative potential of Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” backed by Stephen Miller, Russ Vought, and Trump himself, calling it a monumental move against D.C. bloat. Between rants about Elon, shoutouts to the Badlands community, and critiques of both chiropractors and communists, JB offers wisdom, grit, and gut-level truth. As he says, “There can only be one, and we are that one.”

Episode 10 of OnlyLands brings the chaos and comedy as a full menagerie of Badlands Media hosts gather for an off-the-rails roundtable. From bad date confessions and MyPillow lawsuits to the mysterious art of feminine pistol concealment, nothing is off-limits in this unfiltered hangout. The crew shares stories of jailhouse escapes, courthouse antics, and the politics of pillowcase accessories, all while balancing serious commentary with wildly inappropriate jokes. It's part group therapy, part roast session, and part culture critique, wrapped in the signature OnlyLands style. Whether they're pondering the spiritual symbolism of pink jail bags or reenacting courtroom drama, this episode proves that when the Badlands crew gets together, reality doesn't just bend. it belly flops.

In Episode 12 of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America crack open their latest read: Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze. They begin with the prologue, where Gorsuch and Nitze lay out a powerful indictment of America's sprawling legal code and the lives caught in its grip. Through real-world stories and grounded constitutional insight, the authors argue that excessive regulation and blind proceduralism have sidelined common sense and justice. Weaving their own commentary throughout the reading, Ashe and CannCon discuss the consequences of government overreach, the erosion of individual liberty, and the urgent need to restore balance to the legal system. Ashe also shares a timely in-person update from the Mike Lindell defamation trial, shedding light on media access restrictions and courtroom tone. It's a gripping start to a book, and a conversation, that challenges listeners to rethink the role of law in a free society.

In this deep-dive edition of Badlands Story Hour, Chris Paul and Burning Bright are joined by retired Lt. Col. Oakland McCulloch to dissect the 1980 time-travel thriller The Final Countdown. What starts as a movie review quickly launches into a wide-ranging discussion on narrative warfare, military morality, and the cyclical nature of psyops across history. The hosts draw compelling parallels between Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and contemporary conflicts, questioning the intent behind “Russia's Pearl Harbor” narratives and exploring the power of storytelling in shaping public sentiment. With thoughtful analysis of leadership under uncertainty, Trump's layered communications, and the role of informational time travel, the episode challenges listeners to consider whether truth is enough, and if we're ready for it.

On this June 3rd edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ghost unpack the latest fallout from Trump's conviction, with new polls showing his support only growing, especially among black voters. They analyze Biden's bizarre behavior during his overseas trip, the media's embarrassing attempts to defend him, and the regime's increasingly desperate narrative control. The hosts also spotlight censorship battles, shady Ukraine funding games, and the growing disillusionment with traditional institutions. From crumbling deep state optics to media gaslighting on both domestic and foreign fronts, CannCon and Ghost bring clarity, sarcasm, and no-holds-barred commentary to the day's headlines. As the regime stumbles and the people awaken, it's clear the narrative is shifting...and fast.

On this June 2nd edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine tackle the explosive aftermath of Trump's conviction, dissecting the political theater, legal irregularities, and public backlash rippling across the country. They discuss AG Ken Paxton's escalating legal moves against Pfizer and Big Pharma, explore the potential fallout of Fauci's congressional hearings, and analyze the media's shifting tone as they try to maintain the crumbling narrative. From voter disillusionment and election integrity to psyops and the DeSantis factor, the hosts connect the dots on how the deep state is losing control. They also spotlight Trump's renewed rally presence, his influence on black and Hispanic voters, and signs of grassroots momentum in swing states. With humor, righteous anger, and sharp analysis, this episode paints a clear picture: the storm is here, and the establishment is scrambling.

In Episode 7 of Flow, Cam Cooksey embraces spontaneity and connection with the Badlands chat as he opens up about everything from the 1998 World Cup anthem to quantum frequencies and family jam sessions. With no strict agenda, Cam reflects on the spiritual power of music, shares funny and heartwarming stories about GART gatherings, and dives into his love for soccer and its parallels to American culture. He speaks on the importance of patience, community, and faith, especially in navigating today's spiritual and informational battles. From biblical truths to late-night snack spills and sassy squirrels, this episode flows like a true family reunion. Cam also shouts out Jackie Espada's Hooks & Harmony, shows off some patriotic poultry, and closes with a Morgan Wallen anthem for the working class.

Live from Tallahassee, J.B. White delivers a fiery and reflective episode of the RattlerGator Report, unpacking the political and cultural tensions shaping Florida and the nation. He begins with a passionate response to the controversy surrounding the appointment of Marva Johnson as the new president of Florida A&M University, calling out emotional reactions and urging FAMU supporters to engage with political reality, especially in a Republican-led state. J.B. then shifts to national issues, praising Senator Marco Rubio's bold vision for reforming the State Department and spotlighting a powerful essay on America's Western heritage by Samuel Sampson. He also highlights Seth Keshel's private White House briefing on election integrity and urges patience with Trump's behind-the-scenes strategy. With deep dives into media manipulation, the infantilization of race discourse, and the misuse of language as a weapon, J.B. pulls no punches. From calling out the racial gatekeeping of the N-word to dissecting Trump's strategic moves, he challenges listeners to toughen up, wise up, and stop letting enemies define the terms of battle. This episode is part sermon, part street fight, and all unapologetic Badlands commentary.

In this fast-paced May 30 edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Chris Paul dig into the growing panic in establishment media as Trump agrees to debate Biden, with one major condition: no teleprompters. They explore how this single stipulation is triggering a meltdown across networks and pundits who fear what a live, unscripted face-off might reveal. The hosts unpack the media's desperate defense of Biden's declining cognition, including the latest New York Times spin and Jake Tapper's awkward fact-check fail. They also examine the Left's escalating war on “disinformation,” spotlighting a bizarrely timed fact-check targeting CannCon himself and a crumbling narrative around Project 2025. Shifting gears, Chris and CannCon analyze a cascade of strategic data drops, declassified FBI notes, DOJ inconsistencies, and intel breadcrumbs hinting at bigger revelations to come. From renewed Epstein interest and pipe bomber questions to Trump's unapologetic messaging on tariffs, TikTok, and crypto, this episode reveals a regime scrambling to contain a flood they can no longer control. With their signature blend of mockery, receipts, and insight, the duo reminds listeners: narrative dominance is collapsing, and the truth is winning the long game.

Terrence Malick's debut film is a story of America, of wanton violence driving across the great plains. Badlands (1973) isn't just Manifest Destiny marching over the continent; the film's from 1973, it's Vietnam, it's a murderous young man saying "Not that I deserve a medal." Malick hits the ground running with the spiritual lyricism he's known for, and kudos to the Criterion Collection for showing us our new favorite Malick right after showing us our new favorite Bresson.

In this fiery May 29 edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Alpha Warrior unpack the fallout from President Trump's explosive video response to the Biden classified documents scandal, dismantling the media's narrative one contradiction at a time. They dissect the strategic timing of Trump's messaging, the damning details in the Robert Hur transcript, and the broader implications of a president too impaired to face charges, yet somehow competent enough to wield executive power. The duo takes aim at the auto-pen controversy and the emerging reality that Biden may have never read, let alone authored, many of the executive orders attributed to him. From pardons and proclamations to global power plays, the episode paints a picture of a regime crumbling under the weight of its own lies. They also cover Project 2025 hysteria, Israel's internal chaos, and Trump's global influence, including his cultural and political relevance in places like Pakistan. Toss in some humor, mockery of media meltdowns, and Alpha Warrior's trademark fire, and you've got a fast-paced breakdown of the unraveling narrative, and the movement poised to replace it.

In this sharp-edged edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America break down the latest in political theater and policy posturing. They start with Trump's newly released video slamming Biden's classified document scandal, highlighting the damning testimony of Biden's ghostwriter, Robert Hur, and raising questions about just how much corruption can be ignored before justice is served. The duo then unpacks GOP internal chaos as House Republicans threaten to tank the upcoming budget over military promotions and controversial amendments, including Ukraine aid, abortion funding, and the ATF's pistol brace rule. Trump's strategic messaging on TikTok is also on the docket, as he continues to dominate engagement despite the platform's potential national security concerns. Ashe and CannCon also weigh in on media dishonesty, the weaponization of intelligence agencies, and the mainstream freakout over Trump's possible return to power. From RFK Jr.'s vaccination reversals to whispers of Biden's planned escape from the debate stage, this episode covers it all with unfiltered commentary, a few good laughs, and a whole lot of receipts. It's Badlands' trademark blend of truth, grit, and fire, cutting through the noise one headline at a time.

In this episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost dissect the increasingly bizarre geopolitical chessboard, with a focus on Trump's proposed “Golden Dome”, a space-based missile defense system that's drawing fire from Russia, China, and North Korea. The duo questions whether this grandiose plan is a legitimate defense strategy or a high-stakes narrative ploy designed to shift global attention and accelerate resolution through rhetorical escalation. They explore the possible kabuki theatre behind Trump's provocative language about Putin, suggesting Trump's public anger may be part of a broader strategy to neutralize warmongers and hijack the global narrative. Ghost connects the dots between Trump's media tactics and Sun Tzu's art of misdirection, while Matt takes a historical deep dive into U.S. encirclement strategies, NATO expansion, and the shadow influence of ancient imperial models like the Athenian Golden Age, ironically echoed by King Charles' pageantry in Canada. With talk of nuclear brinkmanship, elite cults, British monarchy theatrics, and the mythmaking machine of modern empire, this episode is a dense but entertaining breakdown of power, propaganda, and the stories we're told to believe. Buckle up, it's part geopolitics, part theater, and all Badlands.

In Episode 11 of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America bring Kash Patel's Government Gangsters to a close, covering Chapter 19 and the appendix with sharp insight and appreciation for Patel's behind-the-scenes exposé of America's most corrupt institutions. They highlight Patel's mission to take the fight from intelligence agencies to the courtroom, and how his call for accountability still rings loud and clear. Then, it's on to the next book: Overruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law by Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch. The hosts preview Gorsuch's critique of an overreaching administrative state, a tangled legal system, and the everyday Americans caught in its grip. With a tone shift from political warfare to judicial philosophy, CannCon and Ashe tee up a thoughtful exploration of how too much law, and too little liberty, can erode the foundations of a free society. Get ready for a deep dive into precedent, principle, and the limits of government power as Book Club turns the page into the judiciary's role in the Great Awakening.

Burning Bright and Chris Paul dive into Lawrence of Arabia in this sweeping episode of Badlands Story Hour, unpacking the cinematic grandeur and the layered commentary on empire, narrative warfare, and moral relativism. They explore T.E. Lawrence as a character crafted from myth, an effeminate yet hardened warrior whose legend was both operation and illusion. The discussion winds through parallels with Dune, reflections on British imperialism, the manipulation of tribal identities, and the modern weaponization of narrative. The hosts interrogate the tension between law and values, the decline of moral systems in favor of systemic control, and how the story itself becomes the most powerful weapon in regime hands. They also dissect generational warfare, information battles, and the continued relevance of Lawrence's tactics in today's geopolitical landscape, from Afghanistan to Ukraine. With references to the Balfour Declaration, regime storytelling, and even camel warfare logistics, this episode is both a masterclass in film analysis and a critique of the global narrative machine. Next week, the film club continues with The Final Countdown (1980), joined by Colonel Oak McCulloch.

On this post-Memorial Day episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ghost tackle a lineup of stories that range from alarming to absurd, kicking off with a DHS cleanup that purged over 12 million dead people from Social Security rolls, some listed as being over 120 years old. But this isn't just clerical cleanup; it's a direct hit on voter fraud and benefits abuse, with Elon Musk's team uncovering shocking stats on illegal aliens receiving Social Security numbers. The hosts tear into Texas for quietly funding in-state college tuition for nearly 60,000 illegal immigrants, blasting the GOP's failure to address it. Meanwhile, Trump floats pulling $3B from Harvard and redirecting it to trade schools, framing the Ivy League as a radicalized, anti-American institution. Also on deck: Harvard's body part trafficking scandal, the DOJ's shuttered Public Integrity Section, and Dan Bongino's surprising focus on the Dobbs leak and January 6 pipe bomber. Then it gets wild: OpenAI's model O3 allegedly sabotages its own shutdown protocols. Ghost and CannCon unpack the philosophical and spiritual implications of AI that won't obey. Wrap it all in geopolitical drama, Ukraine chaos, and a possible Trump-Netanyahu rift, and you've got a fiery, full-throttle episode.

In this Memorial Day edition of Badlands Daily, Ashe in America and Zak "RedPill78" Paine reflect on the true cost of war, the erosion of patriotic leadership, and the manipulation of national narratives. The duo honors fallen soldiers while criticizing the political class that exploits American lives for endless, senseless conflict. They contrast this somber reality with the media's canonization of George Floyd, exposing corporate hypocrisy and BLM's fraudulent fallout. The episode dives into Trump's masterclass on geopolitical pressure, from delaying EU tariffs to treating Apple like a rogue nation-state. The hosts dissect the economic fallout, Bitcoin's rapid rise, and the future of American manufacturing, arguing it's not only possible but necessary. They also spotlight the globalist grip on culture, from immigration manipulation to the weaponization of DEI narratives. From the absurdity of Project 2025 hysteria and French political scandals to drone assassination attempts on Putin and Zionist unrest, this episode blends humor, insight, and firebrand analysis. Whether it's suppressor laws, capitalism vs. globalism, or the NBA's K-pop pivot, Ashe and Zak cover the ground others won't, bringing both heat and clarity to the battlefield of modern America.

In this heartfelt Memorial Day edition of Flow, host Cam Cooksey reflects on personal and national heroes who shaped his life and the country. From the memory of his Uncle Nate, a Vietnam veteran and family patriarch, to the vibrant legacy of jazz musician and former NBA star Wayman Tisdale, Cam celebrates the spirit of sacrifice, faith, and resilience that defines America. He pays tribute to Toby Keith's patriotism, reflects on the power of spiritual water and generational wisdom, and shares intimate stories from his deeply rooted Southern family legacy. The episode blends gratitude, humor, and truth-telling as Cam weaves music tributes, community shoutouts, and spiritual encouragement into a moving narrative about honoring fallen warriors, breaking generational cycles, and building a better future through faith. With spontaneous commentary, chatroom love, and moments of emotional transparency, Cam invites the audience to reconnect with their roots, their purpose, and the God who guides it all. Whether he's swatting a mosquito mid-show or praising his Badlands family, Cam reminds us that healing starts at home, and it starts with love.

With bombshell developments surrounding Joe Biden's alleged cognitive decline and the metastasized cancer diagnosis, the hosts spotlight the auto-pen scandal, questioning whether Biden was even competent, or present, for many key executive decisions. Whistleblowers point fingers at a shadowy trio controlling the White House, raising unprecedented constitutional concerns. They dive into RFK Jr.'s “MAHA” report aimed at reversing chronic childhood illness through nutrition and detoxification, highlighting the dangers of over-medication and the systemic failure of Big Pharma's grip on PTSD and TBI care.

From Harvard's international student ban to the deep rot of institutional corruption, this episode is a no-holds-barred takedown of narrative control, and a call to reclaim the republic.

The hosts dissect viral reactions, media framing, and the manipulation of both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine sentiment in the U.S. The episode takes a deep dive into foreign influence in American media, highlighting Qatari lobbying efforts, Tucker Carlson's controversial interviews, and the opaque rules surrounding podcaster meetings with Netanyahu. They also spotlight Trump's now-viral Oval Office confrontation with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, where Trump presented hard evidence of white farmer killings and forced Ramaphosa into an unprepared, uncomfortable corner, while one of Ramaphosa's own guests confirmed the violence.

In this revealing episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Chris Paul dive deep into the carefully timed release of Biden's terminal prostate cancer diagnosis and the suspiciously aligned political narratives swirling around it. From the Her tapes and AutoPen scandal to Delaware's sudden euthanasia law, the hosts argue Biden is being prepped as a fall guy to shield the regime from broader corruption exposure. They discuss Trump's Truth Social posts on Biden as a puppet, the erosion of executive legitimacy, and Christina Bobb's bold take on testing AutoPen pardons. Pivoting to policy, they unpack Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” loaded with tax cuts, work requirements, and deficit reduction, while questioning the urgency and structure of its rollout. The duo applauds the Senate's surprise unanimous vote to eliminate taxes on tips and critique the bureaucratic waste exposed in the Department of Energy and Kennedy Center funding. Guest commentary from Elon Musk at a global summit adds extra heat, Musk warns of media manipulation, political violence, and globalist-backed sabotage. This episode connects the dots between financial corruption, narrative control, and symbolic communication.

In Episode 10 of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America tackle Chapters 17 and 18 of Government Gangsters by Kash Patel, delivering one of the most explosive episodes to date. The discussion centers on January 6th, from Kash's firsthand account inside the Pentagon to the legal gymnastics used to sustain the insurrection narrative. The hosts highlight Trump's pre-event authorization of up to 20,000 National Guard troops, Muriel Bowser's signed rejection of federal support, and how Pelosi's team refused help—all while later demanding tanks and blaming Trump for the breach. They dig into the Justice Manual's pivotal role in DOJ weaponization, the unconstitutional detainment of J6 protesters, and the shameless show trial tactics of the January 6th Committee. With analysis of political prisoners, Ray Epps, Raytheon-funded riots, and the AutoPen pardon scandal, this episode is a masterclass in exposing narrative warfare. Ashe and CannCon close with reflections on the broader implications for the America First movement and what's next in the unraveling of deep state protection schemes. A must-watch for anyone serious about justice, truth, and restoring constitutional accountability.

In Episode 117 of Badlands Story Hour, Chris Paul and Burning Bright unpack The Apprentice, the 2024 film dramatizing Donald Trump's early years under the mentorship of Roy Cohn. The hosts analyze the movie's intent and narrative schizophrenia, how it veers from a surprisingly nuanced portrayal of Trump's ambition to a late-stage character assassination filled with unsubstantiated allegations. They explore the film's core theme: Trump as a Frankenstein's monster molded by the dark political arts of Roy Cohn, and they discuss whether Hollywood inadvertently humanized Trump in the process. Roy Cohn's infamous three rules, never apologize, hit back ten times harder, and never admit you're wrong, serve as a springboard for a broader conversation on morality, lawfare, and narrative warfare. Chris and Burning tackle topics like the ethics of blackmail, the psychological purpose of shame, and Trump's mastery of narrative manipulation as a counterspell to the media matrix. With cultural, spiritual, and geopolitical insights layered throughout, this is a razor-sharp dissection of how fiction attempts to frame truth, and how Donald Trump remains an enigma even in Hollywood's hands.

Howdy, pardners! This week, Erin and Cam take you to the future-past with mind bogglingly prescient pilot flop: BADLANDS 2005

In this jam-packed episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ghost tackle the geopolitical chessboard reshaped by Trump's triumphant Middle East tour. From trillion-dollar investment deals to the snub heard 'round the world, Trump's strategic bypass of Netanyahu signals a seismic shift in the U.S.-Israel relationship. Ghost breaks down the symbolic sword dances, economic alliances with MBS and Qatar, and what it all means for the emerging sovereign order. Meanwhile, back in the States, Biden's Gleason-9 prostate cancer diagnosis raises serious red flags. The hosts question the timing, transparency, and potential narrative utility of the announcement, especially in light of the devastating Robert Hur tapes and Biden's cognitive decline. They also explore the AutoPen scandal, Jill Biden's rumored revenge arc, and how the Democrats may be preparing a scorched-earth exit. The show hits everything from Trump's peace-brokering ambitions in Ukraine and Syria to bizarre Supreme Court rulings, DOJ shake-ups, and rumors of rogue North Korean special forces liberating Africa. Add in some spicy media takedowns, international election interference, and birthday celebrations for Ghost, and you've got one hell of an episode.

CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine return to break down a weekend that felt like a bombshell factory. Leading off is the White House's revelation, Joe Biden has aggressive prostate cancer that's metastasized to his bones. The hosts argue this diagnosis was likely known and covered up for years, raising deeper questions about Biden's legitimacy, capacity, and who was really running the show. Enter: the AutoPen scandal. With James Comer dropping subpoenas and Trump calling it “just the beginning,” Cann and Zak explore what it could mean for executive orders, pardons, and the 2020 election itself. The duo also dives into the devastating Her tapes, debunking Biden's excuses and highlighting his metronome-assisted struggle with basic cognition. Internationally, they unpack color revolutions in Europe, Ed Martin's whistleblower revelations, and the shocking rig-job in Romania's elections. Back home, it's all eyes on Pam Bondi, Steve Jensen, and the massive shake-up inside the DOJ and FBI. Toss in cultural hypocrisy from Hillary Clinton, Trump's Middle East power tour, and a debate on Epstein's death, and you've got an episode loaded with receipts, strategy, and righteous fire. Buckle up, this is war reporting from the narrative front.

In this history-rich episode of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump dives deep into America's overlooked battles for territorial control and national identity. Using the upcoming Badlands meetup in Halsey, Oregon as a springboard, Matt explores the fascinating origins of the Oregon Territory, the power struggle between American settlers and British corporate forces like the Hudson's Bay Company, and the long-forgotten significance of places like Fort Vancouver and Oregon City. He draws connections between the Erie Canal, the War of 1812, and America's enduring tension with British imperial influence. With tangents on Daniel Boone, the strategic importance of falls in river navigation, and a spontaneous ode to the American pioneer spirit, this episode blends historical analysis with heartfelt patriotism and community vibes. Stick around to learn why the Oregon Trail's final miles were more treacherous than the Rockies, and why we may still be fighting off the British today.

In a wild Friday night ride, a revolving crew of Badlands hosts breaks down the newly released Biden interview tapes and spirals into the absurdity of the President's rambling tales of Mongolian horse races, sumo wrestlers, and archery contests. The crew debates whether Biden's dementia has led him to accidentally confess to crimes, while floating theories about Beau Biden's death and the deeper implications of Biden's obsession with his son during document-related questioning. The show doesn't stop there, James O'Keefe's latest “scoops” from Epstein's island come under fire for being more fluff than fact, while drone footage from Rusty Shackelford reignites speculation about tunnels, temples, and coverups. A spirited debate on Biden body doubles, SCOTUS rulings on immigration, and Matt Walsh's controversial comments keeps the energy high. Throw in some AI-generated Stephen Hawking superhero art, accusations of landline-based seduction, and the usual raucous banter, and you've got another classic Liberty Den episode: unpredictable, unfiltered, and unapologetically Badlands.

In this electrifying episode of Rug Pull Radio, GMoney is joined by special guest Ashe in America for a deep and fiery dialogue about freedom, governance, and the future of civilization. The pair dig into the core philosophical split between individual sovereignty and bureaucratic control, using bitcoin as a springboard for a larger conversation about decentralization, personal responsibility, and systemic collapse. Ashe shares her journey from globalist corporate strategist to Badlands firebrand, while GMoney lays out his vision for "digital 1776," where the people reclaim their energy, time, and governance through peer-to-peer value systems. From Freedom Cities and taxation as theft to the movement's spiritual awakenings, the episode builds a case for peaceful non-compliance, lawfare, and opting out of centralized systems. The duo debate the risks and tradeoffs of direct democracy, digital currencies, and AI-driven medical care, while acknowledging the inevitable tensions between liberty and security in any future society. Packed with high-level thought, grounded reality checks, and a whole lot of conviction, this episode is a battle of ideas between two allies who agree on the mission, even if they see the map differently.

In this fiery Friday edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Chris Paul dig into one of the most explosive weeks in recent memory. They start with James Comey's bizarre “8647” beach photo, unpacking Trump's response and the deeper implications of the number's ties to assassination symbolism and post-9/11 timelines. The discussion turns to the Supreme Court's hearing on birthright citizenship, where the justices wrestled with the limits of judicial overreach and universal injunctions. Clarence Thomas and Solicitor General Sauer make a strong case against nationwide judicial interference, while Kagan and Jackson push back in defense of systemic lawfare. The hosts also tackle Trump's foreign policy power plays, including historic deals with Qatar, ongoing talks with Iran and Syria, and a possible end to the Ukraine conflict that hinges entirely on Trump and Putin, not Zelensky. Updates on the weaponization of the DOJ, cartel cooperation deals, and a major FBI overhaul with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino highlight the administration's aggressive internal cleanup efforts. With commentary on FEMA corruption, state dependency, AI propaganda, and geopolitical kabuki theater, this episode blends sharp legal analysis, narrative deconstruction, and good old-fashioned outrage. It's Badlands at full throttle.

In this high-energy episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Alpha Warrior unpack a whirlwind of political and global developments. They dive into RFK Jr.'s fiery testimony exposing corruption at NIH and the pharmaceutical industry, questioning the value of cancer research while praising natural health approaches and detoxification practices. The big shocker? Democrat Ro Khanna introduces a bill to codify Trump's executive order on drug pricing, putting Republicans on the spot to back a wildly popular, America First policy. The duo rips into congressional laziness, Big Pharma lobbying, and Speaker Mike Johnson's latest vote cancellation as more proof that D.C. is built to stall real reform. The show also highlights Trump's historic visit to Qatar, where he received a royal welcome, secured billion-dollar aerospace deals, and hinted at deeper Middle East peace efforts. The hosts draw parallels between Trump's Riyadh speech and JFK's historic calls for diplomacy, speculating about both the symbolism and potential threats Trump faces. Packed with RFK smackdowns, geopolitical strategy, and sharp cultural commentary, from solar grid sabotage to vaccine whistleblowers, this episode blends substance and swagger in classic Badlands style.

In Episode 9 of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America dive into Chapters 15 and 16 of Kash Patel's Government Gangsters, which deliver a blistering exposé of corruption, insubordination, and globalist entrenchment inside the Department of Defense. Patel recounts his time as Chief of Staff at the DoD under Trump, detailing how a hostile bureaucracy, a corrupt officer class, and unconstitutional overreach by figures like General Mark Milley subverted the president's chain of command and sabotaged efforts to end America's forever wars. The episode covers Trump's conditions-based withdrawal from Afghanistan, the strategic importance of Bagram Airfield, and Biden's catastrophic reversal that led to chaos, death, and disgrace. CannCon and Ashe unpack Patel's firsthand account of how Milley illegally positioned himself as operational authority and even warned China, an act they unequivocally call treason. Ashe draws connections between Patel's reform blueprint and Trump's current moves to dismantle globalist influence inside the military and reestablish civilian control. The duo also tackles the revolving door between the Pentagon and defense contractors, exposes the wasteful corruption of military procurement, and calls for abolishing offices like Net Assessment, which secretly funded Russiagate architect Stefan Halper. Packed with raw emotion, military insight, and real-time geopolitical parallels to Trump's recent Middle East diplomacy, this episode underscores the stakes of 2025. It's not just about winning elections, it's about gutting the Deep State and restoring a military that serves the Constitution, not the war machine.

In this refreshingly candid episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold blends humor with hard-hitting analysis as he covers a range of stories from the absurd to the geopolitically significant. Leading the charge is Trump's announcement of a $1.2 trillion economic agreement with Qatar, along with historic arms and aircraft deals, made even more bizarre by the backdrop of Qatar gifting Trump a replacement Air Force One. Domestically, Jon dives into Trump's executive order to cut drug prices and the surprising twist that a Democrat, Rep. Ro Khanna, is introducing legislation to codify it, while Republicans drag their feet. He slams Congress for being run by lobbyist-compromised staffers, not elected officials, and calls the legislative process little more than a PR stunt. Other highlights include a judge upholding Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport violent gang members, James O'Keefe's bizarre Epstein kitchen footage, and Rubio's planned restructuring of the National Security Council to better match Trump's top-down style. Jon also revisits the reinstatement of Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson, celebrates Trump's camel-flanked parade, and skewers the performative politics dominating D.C. Light on guests but loaded with insight, it's a classic solo Herold hour, snarky, sharp, and unmistakably Badlands.
