Podcasts about Badlands

In this fiery Wednesday edition of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Burning Bright dive deep into the shifting tides of Trump's economic and geopolitical maneuvers. The duo dissects the Trump–Xi trade tensions, the rare earths and semiconductor chess match, and what coordinated “decoupling” between the U.S. and China might really mean. They explore Scott Bessant's fiery remarks, Trump's new equity-stake strategy in key industries, and the moral implications of government seizing corporate control. Later, they break down Trump's cryptic comments about the “auto pen,” new revelations about Adam Kinzinger's 30 million lines of phone data, and Kash Patel's hints that the justice campaign is only beginning. With trademark banter, sharp analysis, and a few laughs (including a soft disclosure plug and some alpaca humor), this episode delivers a potent mix of global insight and Badlands chaos.

JB White wrestles with technical gremlins but still manages to deliver a lively, heartfelt, and downright entertaining episode of The RattlerGator Report. Between camera chaos and on-air troubleshooting, JB shares laughs with the chat while weaving in sharp political commentary. He highlights Newt Gingrich's powerful praise of Trump, calling him one of the greatest presidents since Washington and Lincoln, and explores how Trump's diplomacy and vision for peace are reshaping history. Even amid the broadcast hiccups, JB brings signature southern humor, reflections on family and football, and a reminder that perseverance is part of the Badlands spirit. From glitches to Gingrich, it's a uniquely human episode that proves not every show needs to go as planned to hit home.

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.

Burning Bright and Chris Paul break down Margin Call, a film that captures the cold, calculated collapse of Wall Street's moral compass. The hosts dissect the movie's depiction of greed, systemic evil, and the psychology behind financial power, drawing parallels between the 2008 crash and the controlled demolitions shaping today's world economy. They unpack the symbolism behind Jeremy Irons' “moral relativists,” the engineered volatility of markets, and how this film exposes the illusion of complexity that shields corruption. The conversation moves from macroeconomics to modern geopolitics, connecting Trump, China, and the Sovereign Alliance to the real-world financial “margin calls” happening now. Sharp, cinematic, and intellectually loaded, this episode turns a film review into a masterclass on power, perception, and financial warfare.

CannCon and Ashe in America finally wrap up the epic Chapter 8 of The Fourth Turning, a dense, prophetic section that eerily mirrors the world of 2025. From the economic decay of the “13er generation” to the rise of millennial moralism and the illusion of modern progress, the hosts analyze how Strauss and Howe seemed to predict everything from the gig economy to COVID-era conformity. Ashe and CannCon explore how manipulated social engineering, centralized control, and generational cycles have shaped today's unraveling, and whether America is now entering the long-awaited “High” phase. With sharp humor, honest self-reflection, and classic Badlands banter, this chapter closes with insights into Y2K, 9/11, and the crises that redefined an era.

CannCon and Ghost kick off the week with a hard-hitting look at the latest geopolitical and media maneuvers shaking the world stage. From General Flynn's warning about the invisible war for information dominance to Elon Musk's cryptic posts on X, the hosts unpack the psychological, spiritual, and political fronts of the global battle for truth. They dig into Trump's evolving strategy in the Middle East, corporate censorship, and how the public consciousness is being engineered in real time. Fast-paced, funny, and razor-sharp, this episode blends serious intel with Badlands banter, proving once again that the real fight isn't just on the ground, but in the mind.

CannCon, Alpha Warrior, and Cam Cooksey kick off another wild Y-Chromes with NFL smack talk that spirals from power rankings to playoff bets to full-on fan delusion. Between Green Bay vs. San Francisco trash talk and fantasy football heartbreaks, the crew proves once again that logic doesn't belong in sports debates. But that's just the warm-up—things get weird fast with porcupine “weapon systems,” flat Earth tangents, AI animal videos, and debates about who's really the most “intelligent” Chromie. The guys close out with ridiculous viral clips, old-school YouTube nostalgia, and one of the funniest lotion ad reads in Badlands history. Absolute chaos. Pure gold.

Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada serve up another lively and heartfelt conversation in this week's Alphas Make Sandwiches. From the hilarious logic of “girl math” to the serious moments of testing faith, the ladies mix laughter, honesty, and spiritual depth in equal measure. They talk about navigating motherhood, relationships, and the balance between independence and surrender, peppered with the usual sarcasm, truth bombs, and real-life stories. Whether it's budgeting with humor or finding grace through the chaos, this episode captures what makes Alphas Make Sandwiches a Badlands favorite: smart women keeping it real, funny, and full of faith.

Ashe in America, Zak Paine, and Ghost take the helm of Badlands Daily for a historic morning following President Trump's unprecedented Middle East peace deal. From Trump's powerful speech before the Knesset to Netanyahu's uneasy alliance and the booing that erupted at public appearances, the hosts dissect every geopolitical signal in real time. Ghost breaks down the regional power shifts between Qatar, Egypt, and Israel, while Ashe and Zak connect the dots between media manipulation, globalist backlash, and America's quiet role in reshaping the world order. With humor, deep insight, and fiery discussion, the trio examines the emerging “Golden Age” of diplomacy and what it reveals about the collapsing old system.

A full house of Badlands Media hosts takes over OnlyLands for an off-the-rails roundtable packed with laughs, sharp takes, and unapologetic truth.

If you're looking for unity, laughs, and a little chaos in the pursuit of truth, this episode delivers.

Jon Herold celebrates three years of Badlands Media with gratitude for the creators, supporters, and “Badlanders” who've stood through the highs and chaos. From the anniversary celebration, Jon dives straight into the day's biggest stories: Dominion's shocking sale and rebrand to “Liberty Vote,” the DOJ indictment of Letitia James, and Trump's fiery response to China's rare-earth restrictions. He breaks down the latest executive moves, the Fed chair shortlist, and what reductions in government “nonessential” positions could mean for taxpayers. The chat gets lively as Jon tackles election machines, foreign influence, and the balance between patriotism and practicality, with his trademark humor, blunt honesty, and Badlands heart.

Chris Paul and Ashe in America team up for a jam-packed Badlands Daily covering everything from Dominion's shocking rebrand as “Liberty Vote” to President Trump's renewed push for vaccine transparency. The hosts celebrate Badlands Media's third anniversary before diving into election integrity, global manipulation, and why “trust us, bro” no longer cuts it in politics or public health. From Elon Musk's classified security clearances to the CDC's backpedal on childhood vaccine ingredients, Ashe and Chris break down the deeper systems of control and corruption that have shaped modern America, and what it will take to dismantle them. Honest, sharp, and a little irreverent, this episode embodies the spirit of Badlands: questioning everything, trusting nothing, and laughing through the chaos.

Jon Herold's Thursday edition covers another whirlwind day in politics, starting with Trump's Cabinet meeting and the announcement of a major peace agreement between Israel and Hamas. Jon plays clips from both Trump and Rubio, breaking down the details of the ceasefire, the release of hostages, and why he's cautiously skeptical of how long it will last. He digs into Trump's latest Truth Social posts, including one thanking FBI whistleblowers who exposed Christopher Wray's political bias, contrasting it with Trump's earlier take on embedded agents at the Capitol. From there, Jon covers the global economic battle as China tightens control over rare earth exports and Trump doubles down on building a domestic supply chain. He also highlights new IRS tax bracket changes, the student loan forgiveness notices during the shutdown, and Elon Musk's security clearance court order. With humor, logic, and a few laughs about YouTube censorship, Jon keeps the headlines honest and the Badlands spirit strong.

Ashe in America, Ghost, and Eric Rice come together for a groundbreaking deep dive into the spiritual and geopolitical meaning of “Biblical Israel.” From the misinterpretations of Genesis 12:3 to the heresies of modern Christian Zionism, the trio unpacks how scripture, prophecy, and politics have been twisted to justify endless war and deception. They dissect the Ted Cruz–Tucker Carlson debate on Israel, examine Ezekiel 16's warnings against harlotry and idolatry, and trace how Babylonian religion still influences modern institutions, from the Vatican to AI “Jesus” apps. Through faith, history, and discernment, the hosts explore the end-times deception of unity without Christ, the rise of technocratic “Christian nationalism,” and the eternal battle between truth and counterfeit faith. Bold, convicting, and steeped in scripture, this Badlands special challenges believers to seek Christ—not religion—in the final days.

Ashe in America and Alpha Warrior, joined by Ghost, dive headfirst into the breaking Trump-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, an unprecedented move signaling a dramatic shift in global power. The trio analyzes the deeper strategy behind Trump's announcement, Netanyahu's political future, and the prophetic implications of “Israel saved for last.” They also unpack growing global instability, from Ukraine canceling elections to Burkina Faso's fight against Western espionage, and the rising tide of African sovereignty. In true Badlands fashion, the hosts weave geopolitics, history, and faith into one high-voltage discussion that connects biblical prophecy with today's headlines.

CannCon and Ashe in America take on the chaos of Washington's “shutdown anniversary” and expose why it's more illusion than impact. From air traffic control failures in Burbank to Gavin Newsom's propaganda spin, they unpack how bureaucracy thrives even when the lights go out. The duo also dive into Kamala Harris' confirmation drama, the mass approval of Trump's nominees, and the Senate's rule changes that could reshape future administrations. Ashe breaks down the Supreme Court case that could redefine election standing in Illinois, while CannCon connects the dots on the newly declassified CIA documents revealing Biden's Burisma corruption and the real motive behind the infamous “son of a bitch was fired” trip to Ukraine. With laughs, logic, and plenty of fire, this episode ties together domestic dysfunction and global scandal in true Badlands fashion.

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning with Part 2 of Chapter 8, exploring the Boomer generation's rise into midlife power and the cultural shifts that reshaped America. From the “yuppie” era and Reagan's political influence to the moral fervor and spiritual awakenings of the 1990s, Ashe and CannCon connect Strauss and Howe's generational theory to today's world with humor and sharp insight. They discuss the parallels between then and now—revived faith movements, the redefinition of family values, the culture wars, and the roots of modern polarization. The hosts also weave in their signature banter over fantasy football, gold prices, and soft disclosure ads, blending intellect with entertainment in classic Badlands fashion.

CannCon and Ghost dive headfirst into a high-octane morning covering FBI corruption, government surveillance, and the unraveling of Chicago's “ice-free zones.” The duo exposes how Jack Smith's Arctic Frost investigation swept up sitting senators, debates AT&T's false data deletion claims, and dissects Israel's Pegasus spyware. They draw parallels between historical CIA operations and modern domestic tactics, connecting the dots between cartels, trafficking, and Marxist infiltration in American institutions. As Trump considers invoking the Insurrection Act to restore law and order, CannCon and Ghost weigh the fine line between national security and authoritarian precedent. The conversation hits on the Chicago gang leader's bounty for ICE agents, FISA court corruption, and Brandon Johnson's escalating defiance against federal law—all with the trademark Badlands mix of humor, candor, and geopolitical fire.

Ghost dives deep into one of the wildest intersections of celebrity, politics, and global diplomacy ever told, Dennis Rodman's strange and extraordinary story. Joined by Cam Cooksey, Ghost explores Rodman's unlikely journey from NBA legend and cultural rebel to international figure in North Korea's shadowy orbit. The discussion unpacks Rodman's broken childhood, his Hall of Fame reflections, his bizarre yet authentic bond with Trump, and his infamous friendship with Kim Jong Un. Through emotional clips, behind-the-scenes insights from The Apprentice, and jaw-dropping documentary moments, they reveal how Rodman's defiance, honesty, and humanity may have made him the perfect unlikely peacemaker. It's part sports history, part political thriller, and pure Badlands storytelling.

Ashe in America, Abbey Blue Eyes, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada gather for one of their most raw and revealing conversations yet. This week, the Alphas get personal, diving into the emotional minefields of relationships, self-worth, and the hard truths that come with growth.

Along the way, they share stories that will make you laugh, nod, and maybe even tear up a little. It's part group therapy, part girl talk, and all Badlands heart...honest, unfiltered, and deeply human.

The Supreme Court denies Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal, sparking a sharp debate on justice, precedent, and corruption in the system. From there, the hosts dig into Trump's bold move to deploy National Guard units to Portland, igniting legal warfare with blue-state governors and fueling talk of a “civil war” brewing beneath the surface. They connect the dots on Antifa's organized chaos, ICE agents under siege, and the Biden DOJ's two-tier system of law. Then it's full-throttle geopolitics, Trump's declaration of war on drug cartels, AI taking government roles in Albania, and whispers of Comey's impending arrest. With sharp humor, righteous frustration, and a healthy dose of skepticism, CannCon and Zak remind listeners that America's fight for truth is far from over.

CannCon, Alpha Warrior, JB White, and Cam Cooksey are back with a full house of chaos, comedy, and gridiron glory. The guys kick things off with football talk and fantasy stats before diving into their weekly NFL picks, complete with bragging rights, friendly trash talk, and plenty of shade.

It's vintage Flow: unpredictable, uplifting, and always authentically Badlands.

CannCon and Chris Paul team up to cut through the noise on day three of the government shutdown. From Trump's meeting with Russ Vought and the unprecedented chance to slash bloated federal agencies, to Cash Patel's bombshell confirmation that Pelosi refused National Guard support on January 6th, this episode is stacked with revelations. The hosts expose the FBI's covert presence inside the Capitol, Pelosi's HBO film crew, and the media's role in covering up the inside job. They also dig into Trump's strategic trolling of Project 2025 critics, the Democrats' crumbling narratives, and what a true “return to normalcy” in America should look like. With sharp analysis and no-holds-barred banter, CannCon and Chris Paul make clear that the dam is breaking, and the Deep State is running out of time.

CannCon kicks off solo before Alpha finally rolls in late, and together they tear through the chaos of the day. From a deep dive into Tina Peters' ongoing imprisonment to the DOJ's shady firings, Secret Service failures, and the weaponization of Big Tech, the hosts spotlight the corruption hiding in plain sight. They break down President Trump's moves against corporate embeds like Lisa Monaco, unpack the latest twists in the government shutdown, and call out the hypocrisy of the establishment. With sidebars on Malibu's stalled rebuild, a bizarre NYPD infiltration at the Ryder Cup, and AOC's strange rise, the episode is equal parts sharp analysis and raw banter. Sponsors include Comet by Perplexity, Soft Disclosure, Native Path Collagen, Patriot Injury Lawyers, and Pickaxe.

CannCon and Ashe in America dig into the federal government shutdown, exposing how both parties spin the blame while Trump uses the moment to slash fraud, waste, and abuse in federal programs. They tackle the fight over health care for illegal immigrants, the corruption in Medicaid and Medicare, and Trump's push to cut drug prices with Pfizer under his new “Trump Rx” initiative. From the VA's broken promises to pharmaceutical profits during COVID, the hosts pull no punches in calling out the swamp and Big Pharma's grip on Americans. The conversation expands into January 6th pipe bomb theories, FBI training exercises, and the purge of critical data, raising more questions about the official narrative. Wrapping up with Trump's bold call to use crime-ridden cities as training grounds for the military, this episode hits hard on shutdown politics, health care corruption, and the fight to reclaim America.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive into Sinners (2025), Ryan Coogler's stylish, vampire-infused crime drama. They unpack the film's layered mix of organized crime, race, and spirituality, exploring how the story of two brothers, Smoke and Stack, goes beyond surface-level culture war narratives. From period-piece reflections on Jim Crow and Prohibition to the symbolic power of music as both liberation and temptation, the hosts trace themes of freedom, fellowship, and deception. They spotlight how Coogler flips expectations: vampires sell “unity” while embodying enslavement, and entertainment becomes both healing and a trap. With sharp insights into character dynamics, cultural commentary, and theological undertones, Chris and BB argue that Sinners delivers more than anti-woke bait, it's a Trojan horse of deeper truths about power, consensus, and the human struggle between worldly desire and higher purpose.

CannCon and Ashe in America tackle Chapter 8 of The Fourth Turning, diving into the unraveling era of 1984–2005 and the rise of America's culture wars. They explore how Reagan's “Morning in America” optimism masked deep societal fragmentation, from Apple's 1984 Super Bowl ad to the rise of niche identities and the collapse of shared civic trust. The conversation tracks how Americans shifted from collective institutions to personal fulfillment, spawning tribalism, declining faith in government, and the birth of a politics of meaning. From the O.J. Simpson trial to the Oklahoma City bombing, the chapter reveals how conspiracy theories, cultural clashes, and moral polarization redefined the era. CannCon and Ashe break down the generational archetypes, Silent, Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, and how each played a role in America's unraveling, setting the stage for the crises to come. With sharp insight and humor, they connect Strauss and Howe's theory to today's chaos, asking what lessons the unraveling holds for the storm ahead.

CannCon and Ghost break down the intensifying situation in Israel, where violence, political maneuvering, and shifting alliances dominate headlines. They connect these developments to Trump's UN stance, his broader foreign policy posture, and the implications for America's role in the region. At home, the hosts tackle the looming government shutdown, exposing how Trump's strategy to force cuts and realign federal spending could reshape Washington's power dynamics. The DOJ also comes under fire, with Comey's indictment raising questions about corruption, accountability, and whether bigger dominoes are about to fall. Blending sharp analysis, humor, and first-principles thinking, CannCon and Ghost tie together Israel, shutdown brinkmanship, and DOJ maneuvering into a single narrative about sovereignty and the fight against entrenched power.

The conversation shifts to soccer as a lens for geopolitics, breaking down UEFA's potential ban on Israel and what it signals for shifting global power. Along the way, Cam celebrates Badlands meetups, cracks jokes about SEC football, and plays videos that blend humor with deeper cultural reflections. With heart, humor, and honesty, this episode feels like a hangout with friends where faith, politics, and everyday life collide.

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 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.

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.

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.

I was cast out from my home. Or maybe I ran away. To dry lands. I'm hungry. I need to become something more, to shed a part of me that seemed intrinsic. And the waters are rising.A slow, meditative and moody song.Lyrics: I ran from all l've known to a dry land where nowseeking, seeking, seeking homeFortnights passed aplenty, & was living hungry learning from the serpents who hunted with the moon.One vast & star-pierced midnight, a man emerged from darknessSaid ‘These lands you love shall leave us soon.'He told me, ‘Floods they will course all across these creaturesThese creatures know it rightly, see them climbing from the sandsHe said ‘I dwell in stony ridges, high above the waters.Come dwell with me as we wait for land.'One dawn we were together, above the flooded badlandsHe said, ‘Watch the sun trail crossing the waters down below.'Long I sat there seeking, slowly growing patient'Til I had nowhere else to go.Stone to gold & gold to skyBones broke & scattered, once more & againStars who circle still long after they die Guides guide still once they are slainFloods seeped downward & flowed on to the oceanStone arounds on the ground was all I could seeThe old man passed… & plenty joined me with his passingAll he lived now lives in me.Now walk across these badlands, still learning from the serpentsfinding forlorn singers, cast out from their homesby instigating elders, wise as troubled watersI come to them in their time alone.I sing to them from heaven, deep within the watersI sing to them as air deep within the stonewith a voice of slither serpents, wise as desert daughters,where I wander is where I'm home.Subscribe & SupportFree Story & Media ConsultationComment and Subscribe here This is a public episode.
