Podcasts about Badlands

Jon Herold keeps The Daily Herold rolling with a mix of sharp wit, news breakdowns, and classic Badlands banter. He opens with sponsor shoutouts and listener jokes before diving into Trump's latest headlines, an extravagant new White House ballroom, a rare earth deal with Australia, and a fiery True Social post threatening to “close up” Colombia's drug fields. Jon dissects Trump's fluctuating praise and criticism of the FBI, new developments in Gaza, and the “three-quarter measures” approach of the Justice Department's latest moves. From Comey's bid to dismiss his case to John Brennan's perjury referral, Jon challenges whether half measures will ever be enough to deliver full accountability. Along the way, he builds a hilarious “Political Foreplay” list of Trump-era promises still waiting for results and riffs on everything from pumpkin patch prices to Amazon's AI layoffs. Candid, chaotic, and packed with political sarcasm, this episode proves why The Daily Herold is where real talk and ridiculousness collide.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior kick off the week with a fiery breakdown of the latest legal and geopolitical moves shaking the nation. From the Ninth Circuit's ruling that Trump can deploy the National Guard to Portland, to the ongoing James Comey legal fallout, the duo dives deep into how these court decisions could redefine presidential authority and expose deep state hypocrisy. They connect the dots between Judge appointments, DOJ corruption, and why John Bolton's case might blow the media narrative wide open. Alpha brings his law enforcement insight to the Supreme Court's new gun rights case while CannCon takes aim at Colombia's narco ties and Trump's bold threats to shut down foreign drug operations. The episode wraps with sharp geopolitical takes on Gaza, Ukraine, and the quiet power signals coming from the U.S. military. Brutally honest, fast-paced, and full of laughs, this episode of Badlands Daily proves no topic is too big, or too dangerous, for these two patriots.

EPISODE 110 -  “LON CHANEY SR, and LON CHANEY JR” - 10/25 LON CHANEY, known as the 'Man of a Thousand Faces,' amazed audiences in the silent era with his unforgettable performances in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) and The Phantom of the Opera (1925). He was a master of transformation, using makeup, physicality, and raw emotion to create these classic characters no one had ever seen before. His son, LON CHANEY, JR., had the difficult job of following in his father's footsteps. But he made his own mark, especially as The Wolf Man (1941), a role that turned him into one of Universal's great horror stars. Join us as we discuss this remarkable father-and-son duo, their careers, their lives, and how the Chaney name became synonymous with both monsters and movie magic.

The two dive straight into Jon Herold's “It's Time to Tell the Truth” broadcast, breaking down the integrity, leadership, and hard choices behind the scenes at Badlands Media. From there, the conversation flows into faith, football, and the fight to reclaim masculinity in modern culture. JB and Cam swap stories about military brotherhood, male friendship, and the importance of teaching men to lead with strength and honor in a world gone soft. They draw parallels between sports and society, Trump's uncompromising spirit, and the need to bring shame and accountability back to American life. Funny, raw, and deeply grounded, this episode is part reflection, part locker room talk, and all heart,  a celebration of loyalty, truth, and the enduring power of real men standing together.

CannCon and Zak Paine kick off another fiery week on Badlands Daily as the government shutdown drags into its third week. After a quick dive into AI innovation and its coming impact on the workforce, the duo shifts gears to explosive developments in the Epstein saga, linking Prince Andrew, Ehud Barak, and Tony Blair to new revelations from Virginia Giuffre's memoir. They unpack billionaire Leon Black's disturbing ties to Epstein and the hidden hands behind global corruption. Then it's on to the “No Kings” protests, media psyops, and the growing manipulation meant to push America toward civil conflict. Trump's latest moves on pardons, peace negotiations in Ukraine, and bold strikes against drug traffickers get their own deep dive, capped with insight into looming globalist power plays like the proposed carbon tax and the latest Israel-Gaza updates. Smart, sharp, and unfiltered, this episode proves once again why Badlands Daily remains the pulse of the parallel press.

Jon Herold returns to The Daily Herold with Monday mayhem, dogs in the yard, alpaca jokes, and a packed rundown of weekend chaos. Between clips of Ashe at Willow Wind Farms and birthday shoutouts, Jon dives into Trump's fiery weekend posts, including a warning to Colombia's president over drug trafficking that sounds like a scene from Clear and Present Danger. He unpacks Trump's tense meeting with Zelensky, reports of a planned Budapest summit with Putin, and a new rare earth minerals deal with Australia aimed at countering China's dominance. The show also covers GOP senators pushing for Jack Smith's disbarment, Trump's $15 billion defamation suit against The New York Times, and fresh DOJ shakeups in the Comey case. Between news breaks, Jon builds a tongue-in-cheek “Political Foreplay” list of Trump's yet-to-be-completed promises, from Freedom Cities to “Arrest Fauci.” Equal parts serious analysis and sarcastic humor, this episode blends world news, grassroots banter, and Badlands energy into one hilarious, caffeinated ride through the headlines.

Ashe in America, Christy Lupo, and Jackie Espada serve up laughs, learning, and a little chaos in this jam-packed episode of Alphas Make Sandwiches. With Abby out sick, the trio dives into pop culture challenges, hilarious chat banter, and the origins of the phrase “pulling your leg.” Things take an unexpected turn when Ashe shares her weekend at Annie's Willow Wind Farm, complete with alpaca antics, a “women's prison” pen, and an in-depth look at the wool industry and Soft Disclosure's all-natural product line. From adorable baby animals to wild reproductive science, the story is equal parts educational and hysterical. The crew also introduces Buttercup, the farm's newest puppy mascot, and previews Annie's upcoming guest appearance to discuss sustainable American wool and handmade skincare. It's wholesome, witty, and delightfully unfiltered, classic Badlands charm with a farm-fresh twist.

Alpha Warrior, Brad Zerbo, and Josh Reid return for Episode 2 of Q After Hours with an explosive late-night dive into the origins of the Q movement, the generals behind the scenes, and the modern digital battlefield. The trio connects the dots between historical military operations, NSA counterintelligence, and the rise of citizen journalism that reshaped information warfare. From the truth behind Snowden and Vault 7 to the mysterious “Q Group,” they explore how predictive analytics, AI, and global alliances may have fueled the Great Awakening. As the conversation unfolds, they break down fresh intel from Trump's inner circle, General Flynn's latest moves, and the ongoing indictments shaking D.C. The team also dissects “comms” across social media, the meaning of “GG,” and hints of what may come on the anniversary of the first drop. Candid, conspiratorial, and charged with energy, this episode feels like a midnight mission briefing from the digital trenches of Badlands.

CannCon and Ashe in America take the Friday reins on Badlands Daily for a packed show that swings from laughter to deep dives in record time. After a hilarious opening mix-up and sponsor banter, they turn to breaking news on John Bolton's 18-count indictment, unpacking his alleged misuse of classified documents, encrypted messaging, and possible blackmail links to foreign actors. The pair trace how this case ties into Comey's leaks and a shadow network inside government that's finally being exposed. From there, they analyze Kash Patel's revelations about FBI investigations into Antifa's funding and command structure, the first-ever Antifa terrorism indictments, and what it all means for America's deep-state unraveling. Between laughs about “Get to the rifles!” memes, a wild California homelessness scandal, and Trump's call with Putin proposing a peace summit in Budapest, the episode mixes sharp insight, dark humor, and unapologetic energy, classic Badlands from start to finish.

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.

CannCon kicks off solo as Alpha battles California's internet, diving straight into bombshell revelations about James Comey, Patrick Fitzgerald, and classified memo leaks that helped spark the Mueller probe. Alpha joins midway, and the two unpack how these new indictments tie into a broader RICO-style criminal enterprise, with sidebars on John Bolton's AOL email fiasco, J6 cover-ups, Pelosi's denials, and Trump's fiery press conference revealing CIA ops in Venezuela. The duo roast the mainstream media's Pentagon meltdown, break down Trump's Operation Summer Heat arrests, and analyze blue states' “shadow public health alliance.” With laughs, outrage, and signature Badlands chaos, they wrap with YouTube reinstatements, audience banter, and even a Soft Disclosure plug that keeps things light after a heavy news day.

Jon Herold kicks off The Daily Herold with tech troubles, laughs, and a little finger-pointing before diving into a packed news day. Trump's latest executive orders tighten federal hiring and military pay policies while the Pentagon puts the media on notice over classified leaks, sparking Jon's fiery breakdown of what it means for mainstream journalism. He unpacks Trump's phone call with Putin, new moves toward peace in Ukraine, and possible trade talks on the horizon, hinting that major geopolitical shifts may already be underway. Between headlines, Jon delivers his signature mix of sharp analysis and humor, most notably a hilariously heated debate with the live chat about whether Mitch McConnell's infamous “fall” was real or staged. From Comey's leaks to Bolton's possible indictment and Trump's CIA admissions, this episode blends serious revelations with classic Badlands banter.

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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

From the pain of betrayal to the power of forgiveness, they unpack what it means to truly love yourself (and others) without losing who you are. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine deliver a fiery Monday edition of Badlands Daily, starting with Trump's blast at the UN over waste, corruption, and its cowardice on Palestine. They pivot to the bombshell from O'Keefe Media Group, where DOJ investigator Glenn Prager allegedly confirmed the Epstein client list was destroyed to protect Bill Clinton. The hosts dissect how this revelation ties into intelligence coverups, media spin, and the broader collapse of institutional trust. From there, they cover the looming government shutdown, Trump's strategy to force agency layoffs, and the Pentagon's rare order summoning hundreds of generals to Quantico. Along the way, they spotlight global stories from Venezuela to Kazakhstan, China's silence on TikTok, and Israel's ongoing power struggles. With sharp banter and unfiltered analysis, CannCon and Zak connect the dots between corruption, global maneuvering, and the fight for accountability at home.

CannCon, Alpha Warrior, JB White, and Cam Cooksey bring their trademark chaos to the 50th episode of Y-Chromes. The crew kicks things off with victory laps and fantasy football trash talk before diving into a hilarious new Soft Disclosure ad that has Cam defending his “ashy hands.” From there, the conversation spirals into Mexican armpit color tests, steak pinwheel cooking tips, and Cam's infamous bong rip in honor of Trump's nod to the endocannabinoid system. Football betting spreads, shirt-stay nut shots, and plenty of “cheeks-slapping” jokes keep the laughs rolling, while the guys still find time for banter about Trump, Quantico generals, and Badlands meetups. With NFL picks, family stories, and a stream of outrageous clips, this milestone episode proves that nothing is off-limits when the Chromies are in the house.

Andy welcomes composer & producer Catharina Jaunviksna back to the show to talk about coping through music, her documentary on folk guitarist Elizabeth Cotten, and ghosts in the mandolin. Check out her upcoming album, Nobody Dies, coming out October 10th!  

Cam Cooksey brings a lively Saturday night vibe to Flow with a mix of community banter, personal stories, and sharp takes on global events. From sharing his first experience watching The Chosen to riffing on UFO coverups like the Phoenix Lights, Cam keeps things candid and funny, even when accidentally going live on mute. 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.
