Podcasts about Badlands

CannCon and Alpha Warrior kick off the show with sharp banter before diving into Trump's fiery posts on government shutdown brinkmanship and Democrat spending demands. The discussion shifts to viral videos of pregnant women taking Tylenol “to own Trump,” sparking an in-depth look at research linking acetaminophen, glutathione depletion, vaccines, and autism. The hosts react to expert testimony, memes from Dr. Peter McCullough, and personal stories, underscoring how mainstream narratives cover for Big Pharma. They also break down Dr. Ben Carson's surprising return as National Nutrition Advisor, what Antifa's internal funding and structure reveal about its “non-organization,” and Marco Rubio's comments on foreign aid that expose deeper laundering schemes. With updates on the ICE facility shooting, James Comey's looming indictment, John Bolton's AOL email scandal, and Trump's “paper tiger” remarks on Russia, the episode blends hard news, health revelations, and trademark Badlands energy.

CannCon and Ashe in America break down Trump's fiery UN speech, from stalled escalators and busted teleprompters to his takedown of the globalist migration agenda, climate change scams, and European energy dependence on Russia. The hosts spotlight his call to end biological and nuclear weapons, defend Christianity, and put child traffickers on notice. They're joined by Jason Fick, who details his legal battle against Big Tech censorship and the misuse of Section 230, explaining how decades of bad precedent created a weaponized system against free speech. From foreign actors threatening New York's cell networks to the Secret Service's UN security lapses, the episode pulls no punches in exposing both incompetence and intentional sabotage on the global stage.

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning by Strauss and Howe, unpacking the seismic cultural shifts of the Awakening era. From the GI Generation's confidence after WWII to the Silent Generation's contradictions and the Boomers' rebellious rise, this discussion draws striking parallels to today's upheavals. They trace how Vietnam, Watergate, civil rights battles, and shifting family dynamics set the stage for generational conflict and cultural realignment, while also exploring how children of the 1960s and 70s were shaped by fractured homes, Hollywood's anti-child narratives, and a society growing hostile to traditional structures. With humor, historical insight, and a sharp eye on how these cycles echo into the present, CannCon and Ashe help listeners see the patterns that repeat, and why understanding them matters now more than ever.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright take a deep dive into the 1962 classic The Manchurian Candidate, exploring its eerie relevance more than sixty years later. From predictive programming and narrative disarmament to MKUltra-style conditioning, they unravel how the film foreshadowed political assassinations, mass brainwashing, and the manipulation of public perception. The hosts connect Frank Sinatra's role, Angela Lansbury's chilling performance, and the film's layered realities to modern psyops, false flags, and consensus formation in the information war. Along the way, they unpack concepts like intuition versus narrative, social incentive structures, and how propaganda conditions entire societies just as effectively as a programmed assassin. With sharp cultural insight and plenty of first-principles analysis, this episode challenges listeners to see through the storylines crafted for control and to resist the conditioning designed to keep us compliant.

CannCon and Ghost take on a packed Tuesday edition of Badlands Daily, starting with Trump's explosive announcement linking Tylenol use in pregnancy to autism, sparking Big Pharma denials and possible lawsuits. The hosts dig into vaccine safety, censorship, and the broader fight against medical corruption, drawing comparisons to Nuremberg accountability. They then tackle a messy drug pricing controversy, exposing how media spin distorts Trump's push for fairness in global markets. Shifting gears, the show dives into MSNBC's hit piece on Tom Homan, FBI entrapment, and CIA-fed narratives, followed by Trump's executive order designating Antifa a domestic terror group. From looming government shutdown games in Congress to SCOTUS weighing presidential power over “independent” agencies, CannCon and Ghost emphasize first principles and accountability. Internationally, they cover Trump's moves with Turkey, Netanyahu, and Kazakhstan, plus the UN's recognition of Palestine, setting the stage for geopolitical realignment. With sharp commentary and no-nonsense analysis, this episode threads together corruption, propaganda, and global maneuvering.

CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine take on the fallout from a congressional report exposing the Biden White House's $900 million COVID propaganda blitz. They dive deep into Pfizer, Moderna, and the vaccine-industrial complex, highlight Robert Malone's fiery testimony, and analyze Trump's stunning hint at an autism breakthrough. The hosts also cover Tucker Carlson's explosive remarks at Charlie Kirk's memorial, Kash Patel's FBI updates, Venezuela's role in the border crisis, and Trump's hardline H1B visa plan. A packed episode connecting corruption, media spin, and America's fight for truth.

CannCon and Chris Paul open this episode of Badlands Daily by honoring Boone Cutler, reflecting on his lifelong fight for veterans and the enduring Spartan Pledge. From there, the hosts dive into Trump's latest maneuvers, including his push to reclaim Bagram Air Base and his role in reshaping the TikTok deal that could fold major platforms into a decentralized “truth media” ecosystem. They dissect FCC free speech debates sparked by Jimmy Kimmel's cancellation, warning how both left and right risk falling into the same cancel culture trap. Other highlights include the EU's no-confidence battles, Biden's cognitive decline, Raffensperger's Georgia ambitions, Antifa's terror designation abroad, and suspicious crime stat “book cooking” in D.C. With their trademark skepticism, CannCon and Chris cut through spin to expose psyops, media manipulation, and the high-stakes fight for accountability and sovereignty.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior open this episode with breaking news out of Pennsylvania, where three police officers were killed and two wounded in a shocking ambush that raises questions about law enforcement safety and public trust. From there, they turn to the media storm surrounding Jimmy Kimmel's comments on Charlie Kirk's assassination and his subsequent cancellation, unpacking the free speech concerns and the danger of weaponizing “news distortion” rules. The hosts also dive into President Trump's designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization, looming questions about Discord's role in radicalization, and growing European turmoil with Ursula von der Leyen facing unprecedented no-confidence motions. Additional highlights include Trump's UK visit amid social unrest, Federal Reserve rate cuts, and Intel's surprise stock surge thanks to a deal with Nvidia. Blunt, fast-paced, and unflinching, the episode ties together cultural crises, political warfare, and economic shifts, challenging listeners to recognize psyops and stay vigilant in the fight for sovereignty and truth.

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning with Chapter 7, exploring how the GI, Silent, and Boomer generations shaped America's trajectory from post–World War II prosperity into the turbulence of the Consciousness Revolution. They trace the rise of the GI “We Generation,” the Silent Generation's conformity and cautious prosperity, and the Boomers' emergence as the idealistic prophets of cultural change. From the optimism of the 1950s to the upheavals of the 1960s and 70s, the hosts map how each archetype responded to shifting challenges, laying the groundwork for the awakenings and crises to follow. Dense, thought-provoking, and highly relevant, this chapter brings historical rhythm into focus while hinting at where we might be headed today.

CannCon and Ashe in America dig into the latest twists following Charlie Kirk's assassination, spotlighting FBI inconsistencies, media spin, and the unanswered questions swirling around Tyler Robinson's alleged confession. They analyze Trump's careful framing of the tragedy, his refusal to be baited into overreaction, and how his moves on trade, immigration, and foreign policy fit into a larger strategic arc. The hosts also highlight Kirk's enduring legacy, pushing back against attempts to hijack his movement and questioning fundraising efforts in the wake of his death. Beyond the assassination, the show touches on Biden's political stumbles, global power plays involving Israel and Qatar, and the information war driving division in America. With sharp skepticism and heartfelt reflection, CannCon and Ashe remind listeners to stay focused on principle, discern psyops from truth, and honor Kirk's mission by refusing to be manipulated.

Burning Bright and Chris Paul dig into Godzilla Minus One, Takashi Yamazaki's striking 2023 take on the iconic monster. At first, the film feels like a standard kaiju entry, but it soon unfolds into a powerful character study and meditation on postwar Japan. The hosts break down Shikishima's arc from cowardice to redemption, drawing parallels between his personal journey and Japan's struggle with honor, shame, and survival in the shadow of humiliation. They highlight Yamazaki's stunning visual effects, achieved on a fraction of a Hollywood budget, and the film's refusal to explain away Godzilla—embracing him instead as a force of nature and a metaphor for existential threats. From kamikaze culture and engineered narratives to the lingering scars of national identity and the dangers of nihilism, Burning Bright and Chris Paul unpack why Godzilla Minus One resonates beyond its setting, offering lessons for sovereignty, resilience, and the fight against dehumanizing systems. A thoughtful and timely discussion that elevates a monster movie into a commentary on civilization itself.

CannCon and Ghost break down the latest twists in the Charlie Kirk assassination investigation, from FBI missteps and media narratives to questions about Tyler Robinson's role and possible networks behind him. They tackle the rise of cancel culture within the movement, warning against hypocrisy as some now cheer tactics they once condemned. Beyond domestic turmoil, the hosts turn to global power plays: Trump's negotiations with China over TikTok, nuclear power deals with the UK, and the deepening divide in U.S. politics as Biden's administration funnels billions to partisan nonprofits. From the strange emergence of armed Marxist groups in Utah to revelations about vaccine-linked pediatric deaths and Secret Service lapses, the episode captures a movement grappling with grief, mistrust, and the larger battle for sovereignty. CannCon and Ghost remind listeners to stay grounded, resist manipulation, and keep their eyes on the long game.

As the Northern Pacific Railway made its way across Dakota Territory, it eventually reached what is now known as Billings County. The first siding there was called Fogarty, named for a railroad contractor. In 1883, it was renamed Summit, a fitting name, as the railroad was at its highest point before descending into the Badlands.

We're plowing ahead five years from last month's pod subject but staying in the low – rent, “B” picture roots of film noir, with just a bit more polish, a little more class (because of a slightly larger budget). While last month's Detour sticks with you, it's because of its rough edges and the kick-in-the-gut noirness of the fated fall of the protagonist (as well as the hyper – meanness of the femme fatale --- Ann Savage indeed!). This month, we look at a film that has an incredible behind-the-camera crew, a great cast with many nice surprises, but also some tendrils that tie it to Detour --- it's 1950's Gun Crazy. The film also ushers in (or joins, depending on your view) the sub – genre of “youngstas on the run” noir, as also exemplified by Nicholas Ray's 1948 work They Live By Night, 1949's Knock On Any Door, Tomorrow Is Another Day in 1951, and continuing the sub-genre into neonoir with Badlands and the remake of They Live By Night, Robert Altman's Thieves Like Us. We're privileged to see sharp writing, wonderful direction, a fabulous ten – minute bit of direct cinema, fine acting, but an inevitable, aching drive down the tracks to a waiting and remorseless fate.Detour came out of Poverty Row Hollywood --- Gun Crazy was hard on its run – down heels. PRC barely fronted the money for Detour, and the King Brothers, Frank and Maurice, were only slightly more generous in working up Gun Crazy's budget (courtesy of the aptly named King Brothers Productions --- which we'll shorten to KBP). This was another Hollywood “B” picture with no delusions of grandeur --- it was going to play on the bottom of the bill or in the sticks. But for the money, KBP floated a film that was packed with talent --- talent admittedly somewhat over a monetary barrel, but talent, nonetheless. What did KBP get for their $400K and thirty days of shooting? Website and blog: www.thosewonderfulpeople.comIG: @thosewonderfulpeopleTwitter: @FilmsInTheDark

CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine unpack the continuing shockwaves of Charlie Kirk's assassination, drawing parallels to the tumultuous 1960s and questioning whether history is repeating itself. They break down Utah Governor Spencer Cox's press conferences, conflicting reports about suspect Tyler Robinson, and the FBI's credibility crisis under Cash Patel. From Discord chats and rifles wrapped in towels to oddities about body armor and bullet wounds, the hosts examine the unanswered questions fueling conspiracy theories. They also dig into the political battle over Charlie Kirk's legacy, the push by some to elevate Ben Shapiro, and Steve Bannon's endorsement of Erica Kirk as the rightful heir to TPUSA's mission. Beyond the assassination, the show covers Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Memphis, Hunter Biden's legal battles, and new doubts about Trump's supposed signature in Epstein's “birthday book.” With skepticism, sharp analysis, and plenty of fire, this episode captures a movement wrestling with grief, distrust, and the fight to control the narrative.

Before the missile silos and prairie dogs, the Badlands were home to mammoths, mosasaurs, and mighty storms of U.S. government ambition. In this first part of our journey through Badlands National Park, we go back—way back—to ancient seas, fossil fields, and the earliest human inhabitants. We dig through layers of sediment and sovereignty, touching on the Lakota, the fur traders, and even a short cameo by Thomas Jefferson (because of course). It's a land of bone beds and broken treaties, where every rock tells a story—and some of those rocks used to be sharks.Strap on your hiking boots (and maybe your moral compass), because this is the Wild West before it was even west.

CannCon and Chris Paul open the show by reflecting on the Codex 9/11 premiere and how public trauma events, from 9/11 to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, are weaponized to control narratives. They dissect the FBI's evidence against 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, raising questions about timelines, missing rifles, and suspicious footage, while stressing America's “zero trust environment” where official stories rarely add up. The hosts compare Kirk's murder to historical assassinations, explore media spin, and call out attempts to weaponize anger into violence. They also highlight Secret Service lapses, including a missed Glock at Trump's golf club, and debate the larger information war being waged through psyops. From Epstein's lingering networks to Iran's crippled nuclear program, Kamala Harris's new book, and even bizarre cartel-like violence in Dallas, this episode blends skepticism, cultural analysis, and warnings about manipulation, urging listeners to think critically, resist demoralization, and stay focused on the bigger battle.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior open this solemn 9/11 episode by grappling with the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, sharing raw reactions, prayers for his family, and concern for the cultural and political impact of his death. They play President Trump's powerful statement calling Kirk a martyr for truth and discuss the dangers of anger being weaponized against the movement. From on-the-ground details and potential suspects to oddities like a private jet disappearing from radar, the hosts dissect the fog of war while urging cooler heads to prevail. The show also covers Netanyahu's controversial strike on Qatar, Trump's furious response, and the unraveling of Middle East alliances. Tying it all together, CannCon and Alpha reflect on 9/11's unresolved truths, free speech under fire on college campuses, and the fight against censorship, reminding listeners that faith, resolve, and unity are the movement's greatest weapons.

CannCon and Ashe in America tackle a powerhouse episode of Badlands Daily, starting with explosive Senate testimony on vaccines. They break down Ron Johnson's grilling of witnesses, Toby Rogers' damning autism research, and the staggering rise in chronic illness linked to shots. The hosts dissect how pharma profits, suppressed studies, and government cover-ups have fueled decades of harm, tying it to Gardasil, COVID mandates, and VAERS data. From there, they pivot to Michigan, where charges against Trump's alternate electors were dismissed, exposing Dana Nessel's weaponized lawfare. The discussion heats up with Trump's firm response to Israel's airstrike in Qatar during peace talks, sparking questions about Netanyahu and U.S. foreign policy. They also hit court battles over Trump's power on tariffs, foreign aid freezes, and corruption at the Fed. Rounding it out, CannCon and Ashe analyze unrest in Nepal over social media bans and connect it to the global fight for free speech. A gripping mix of health, law, and geopolitics, this episode shows the spell of the regime breaking in real time.

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their journey through The Fourth Turning, diving into Chapter 6, which explores the “American High” from 1946 to 1964. They discuss how post–World War II optimism, economic expansion, and the rise of suburbia shaped a generation, while also planting the seeds of conformity, consumerism, and cultural stagnation. The hosts highlight how generational archetypes shifted during this era, with the Lost Generation entering elderhood, GIs moving into midlife, and Boomers arriving as children. They unpack the authors' framework of turnings and constellations, exploring how historical cycles repeat and how manipulation by elites can alter their trajectory. Along the way, they connect these historical insights to today's political and cultural struggles, reflecting on the erosion of the family, the rise of globalist influence, and whether the natural rhythms of history can be delayed or redirected in the age of surveillance and propaganda. It's a thoughtful blend of history, prophecy, and present-day reflection that grounds the abstract theory of cycles in lived experience.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright take on M. Night Shyamalan's Split, unpacking its psychological horror and deeper symbolic layers. They highlight James McAvoy's performance as Kevin Wendell Crumb and his 23 personalities, drawing parallels to narrative warfare and how media offers different “alters” of the same central message. The hosts dive into the good twin/evil twin dynamic, centralization versus decentralization, and how propaganda thrives on consensus while truth does not. Their discussion branches into Trump's communication style, trauma as both a weapon and a source of resilience, and how cultural manipulation echoes MK Ultra–style conditioning. They also examine connections to modern gender debates, linking the “they/them” identity to collectivism versus sovereignty, and the biblical concept of Legion as hive-minded evil. Closing thoughts tie Casey's survival, rooted in her scars and trauma, to humanity's antifragility and the danger of weaponized victimhood. This episode blends film critique, philosophy, and cultural analysis, showing how Split serves as a metaphor for narrative control, sovereignty, and the battle between good and evil.

Cattle flourished on the excellent grazing lands of western Dakota Territory in the 19th century. Massive herds roamed freely across the plains. Ranches began springing up in the Badlands before North Dakota was even a state. The most famous was Teddy Roosevelt's Maltese Cross Ranch but there were many more. Some folded after just a few years, while others managed to hang on and become prosperous.

CannCon and Ghost team up for a loaded episode of Badlands Daily. They start with community stories from a Minnesota Badlanders meetup before diving into breaking news: the FBI is under investigation for obstructing its own politically sensitive cases, including Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, and Donald Trump. The discussion digs into Charles McGonagall's shady history, his alleged role as “One Eye,” and how his ties to Chinese and Russian interests ripple through Russiagate and beyond. From there, the hosts turn to immigration and cartel battles, unpacking Trump's ICE surge in Chicago, Operation Midway Blitz, and the constitutional fight over immigration stops in Los Angeles. They examine how gangland dynamics could explode into open conflict and why cutting cartel logistics may be the key to victory. The conversation shifts to Epstein's newly released documents, Maxwell's conviction challenges, and how narrative warfare is shaping public perception. Wrapping up, CannCon and Ghost tackle cultural battles, media manipulation, and election integrity, underscoring that the fight for America is waged on multiple fronts.

Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada bring another lively episode of Alphas Make Sandwiches. The ladies kick things off with playful banter about building a Badlands compound before diving into skincare tips, including lotion, deodorant, and the tallow bar, with fun hacks like using it to tame flyaway hair. They showcase their latest photo challenge and introduce next week's “fun with food” theme, all while laughing about behind-the-scenes antics. The conversation shifts to All Good's No Tox Smoothing Serum, complete with personal testimonies, before moving into the idiom of the week, “turn a blind eye,” and its naval origins with Admiral Horatio Nelson. History lessons cover Eisenhower's education act, the first U.S. flag flown in battle, NASA's Viking 2 Mars landing, Truman's first coast-to-coast TV broadcast, and early submarine warfare with the Turtle. They also discuss the origins of Uncle Sam, McKinley's assassination, and Codex 9/11, setting the stage for upcoming watch parties. Rounding things out are critiques of Jane Fonda's Vietnam-era betrayal, Gerald Ford's pardon of Nixon, and more sponsor shoutouts, blending humor, history, and heart.

Zak “RedPill78” Paine and Ghost tackle a packed Monday show, starting with the Charlotte light rail murder of a Ukrainian refugee and what it reveals about lawlessness in America. They cover jury selection in the Trump assassination attempt trial, where Ryan Routh is representing himself, and dive into FBI “prohibited access” files exposing years of corruption tied to Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, and Trump. Shifting to Chicago, the hosts debate whether Trump will deploy the National Guard or Marines to confront gangs threatening war in the streets. Other highlights include JD Vance backing Trump's cartel strikes, RFK Jr.'s fiery Senate testimony blasting the CDC, Pentagon unease over Trump's “Department of War” rebrand, and South Korea's political chaos. A fiery mix of crime, politics, and geopolitics.

Cam Cooksey takes Flow into its 18th episode with a mix of humor, community, and cultural reflection. After some playful banter about “Pastor Yoda” memes and Disney's fall into woke propaganda, Cam shouts out fellow Badlands creators, including Jackie's Hooks and Harmony show and Abby Blue Eyes' powerful “PsyWar” video. The conversation digs into how propaganda shapes culture, from Star Wars to political narratives, and why awareness is the best defense in today's information war. Cam highlights Brad Zerbo's Codex 9/11 film screenings, sharing how the documentary serves as a “nuclear weapon in the info war” and urging the community to support it. Between sponsor shoutouts, plumbing mishap stories, and open-line call-ins, the episode blends laughs, faith, and reflection with practical reminders about unity, sovereignty, and God's role in guiding truth seekers. It's vintage Flow—lighthearted yet anchored in purpose.

Send us a textCharlie Bassett may be the most important Wild West lawman you've never heard of. Before Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson became household names, they wore their first badges under his leadership in Dodge City, Kansas—a place so notoriously lawless it earned the nickname "the wickedest little town in America."Born in Massachusetts in 1847, Bassett's journey took him from Civil War battlefields to the heart of frontier chaos. Standing only five feet four inches tall, what he lacked in physical stature he more than compensated for with quiet resolve and unwavering integrity. As Dodge City's first Marshal and Ford County's first Sheriff, he faced down the wildest elements of the American frontier—rampaging cowboys, professional gamblers, and ruthless outlaws—while establishing the foundations of law and order that would allow civilization to take root.Unlike his more famous protégés, Bassett didn't build his reputation on spectacular gunfights or self-promotion. His authority came from competence, calm judgment, and moral courage. When a man was lynched by vigilantes, Bassett conducted a thorough investigation and boldly declared to the governor that the victim had been innocent. When the notorious Sam Bass gang robbed a train of $60,000 in gold, Bassett led the posse that pursued them across the Kansas prairie. And when the deadly tension between two rivals erupted in gunfire at the Long Branch Saloon, it was Bassett who restored order in the aftermath.Perhaps most telling was his role in the famous "Dodge City War" of 1883. When his friend Luke Short was unfairly driven from town, Bassett helped assemble a formidable group of frontier legends—including Earp and Masterson—whose mere presence forced town officials to back down without a shot being fired. Their gathering, immortalized in the famous "Dodge City Peace Commission" photograph, marked one of the last great moments of the Wild West era.Bassett died in 1896 at just 48 years old, seeking treatment for Bright's disease in Hot Springs, Arkansas. His passing, like much of his life, was quiet and dignified—a stark contrast to the outsized legends that would grow around many of his contemporaries. This episode pulls back the curtain on the forgotten lawman who mentored legends, revealing how true courage often comes wrapped in quiet authority rather than gunsmoke and bravado. Discover the untold story of the lawman's lawman—Charles Bassett, the steady hand who truly tamed the West.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.

CannCon and Chris Paul open this Friday edition with Trump's latest Truth Social post blasting the Epstein “hoax” and pivot into Biden's crumbling legitimacy as new memos reveal Kamala Harris often approved pardons in his place, with auto-pen signatures raising constitutional questions. They dissect the Democrats' color revolution playbook, Trump's strategy to go scorched earth on both parties after the midterms, and the establishment's unraveling. The episode then shifts to Trump's kinetic strike on Venezuelan traffickers, exploring its implications for cartels, sovereignty, and the global regime's drug networks. From there, the hosts cover Trump's order to rename the Department of Defense back to the Department of War, RFK Jr.'s blistering Senate testimony exposing CDC failures and chronic disease rates, and Bernie Sanders' call for campaign finance reform. Other highlights include John Bolton's FBI raid, CEFC-Hunter Biden ties, and the 11th Circuit blocking the shutdown of “Alligator Alcatraz.” With sharp analysis, humor, and a barrage of breaking stories, this episode captures the chaos and turning tides of the week.

Jon Herold opens this Friday edition with a special guest: Annie from Willow Wind Farm, the woman behind Soft Disclosure's natural body care products. Annie shares her journey from a Colorado natural foods career to running an 85-acre alpaca and sheep ranch, where she now handcrafts lotions, deodorants, and tallow bars with locally sourced ingredients. She talks about sustainability, the challenges of creating sensitive recipes like deodorant, and why using pure, farm-based inputs matters. Jon and Annie reflect on her role as both a breeder and a maker, her deep ties to the Badlands community, and the joy she finds in creating products that people love. After the interview, Jon pivots to the headlines, Trump's reposts of August stories on Truth Social, John Bolton's unsealed search warrant, ICE's massive hiring spree, Nadler's retirement, and Biden's controversial use of an auto-pen for pardons. With a mix of personal storytelling, sponsor shoutouts, and sharp political analysis, this episode blends community spotlight with cutting-edge news.

CannCon holds down Badlands Daily with Alpha running late, opening with Trump's fiery new meme offensive, dubbed “Meme War 2”, featuring viral shots at political opponents and even a Mount Rushmore tease. From there, the show dives into breaking headlines: the deaths of fashion icon Giorgio Armani and beloved Judge Frank Caprio, before turning to Congress's creation of a new J6 investigative panel and explosive testimony about DOJ coercion of Proud Boys witnesses.

He unpacks Trump's latest executive actions, including making federal architecture “beautiful again,” exempting national security agencies from collective bargaining, and cutting off federal grants for lobbying.
