In this marathon Friday broadcast, CannCon and Chris Paul guide listeners through a day packed with monumental Supreme Court decisions and unraveling narratives. The hosts break down the ruling limiting nationwide injunctions, a game-changer for lawfare against Trump, alongside other split decisions on government overreach, Medicaid cuts, and LGBTQ curriculum opt-outs. They dive deep into the spectacle of Trump's Iran strike aftermath, exploring competing intelligence leaks, claims of obliterated centrifuges, and whispers of a pre-negotiated nuclear deal with Iran. The show also dissects the media's meltdown, highlighting how the same outlets pushing the Russia hoax are now spinning the Iran story. CannCon calls out the absurdity of the “12-Day War” branding while Chris compares the entire event to a live-action Top Gun reboot. Later, they expose the tangled web of Biden's autopen authorizations, ponder Big Balls' reappearance at the Social Security Administration, and cheer as Harvard's endowment faces new scrutiny.

Jon also highlights the return of “Big Balls” Korestein, who reemerged at the Social Security Administration alongside former Doge engineers, fueling more questions about behind-the-scenes digital cleanups. He covers reports that Trump is preparing sweeping executive orders to accelerate AI development, sparking speculation about a rare earth trade thaw with China even as tensions escalate.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive deep into the 1995 submarine thriller Crimson Tide, exposing its layered regime propaganda and eerie relevance to current global tensions. Against the backdrop of recent narrative warfare around Iran's nuclear program, the hosts dissect how the film primes audiences to trust government authority, dismiss rebels as threats, and frame preemptive strikes as justified. They explore how Denzel Washington's and Gene Hackman's characters represent competing modes of deference, to protocol versus to power, and how these dynamics mirror today's media, military, and political theaters. With precision and wit, Chris and Bright unpack the manipulation of moral perception, the dangers of uncritical obedience to “expert intel,” and the propaganda value of nuclear threats as a narrative ticking clock. Alongside commentary on Trump's narrative maneuvers, CIA information pipelines, and the spectacle of war as politics by other means, this episode is a compelling study in 5th-gen warfare, on screen and off.

CannCon and Ashe in America dig into Chapter 3 of Overruled by Justice Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze, titled “Bureaucracy Unbound.” From absurd federal overreach involving magician rabbits and Hemingway's six-toed cats to the unchecked power of unelected regulators, this chapter is a scathing critique of the modern administrative state.

They also break down Trump's use of the word “obliterate” and its coded significance, tying it to broader themes of deep state takedown. Brad brings the math heat with a NATO funding analysis that underscores how much more the U.S. contributes compared to other member nations. Abbey celebrates the awakening of America's common-sense roots while promoting the upcoming Badlands event in Deadwood.

The hosts explore the media's bizarre silence, the political scrambling across party lines, and the strategic timing of the operation, which followed Trump's call for a 2020 election special prosecutor. They dissect reactions from Trump allies and critics alike, noting how some in MAGA are struggling to reconcile the strike with their expectations. CannCon and Zak argue that the operation reveals not just Trump's geopolitical control, but also his mastery of optics in a collapsing information environment. The duo also touches on Hunter Biden's legal drama, the Bidens' increasing irrelevance, and how every piece of regime theater now serves to prop up a crumbling system.

From lawfare implosions to SCOTUS stalling, they connect the dots on how the narrative is collapsing in real time.

CannCon and Chris Paul kick off this episode with a bold new Truth Social post from President Trump, doubling down on 2020 election fraud and reigniting debate over the stolen election narrative. They unpack the timing and implications of Trump's message, tying it to the ongoing silence from the Supreme Court on his presidential immunity case and what that delay could signal behind the scenes. The hosts also spotlight stunning congressional testimony from General Paul Nakasone, confirming that the Pentagon used psychological operations against the American public via social media, an admission that validates years of “conspiracy theory” warnings about government-led narrative control. From crumbling war propaganda to emerging signs of internal regime panic, CannCon and Chris expose how the media's grip is slipping and why the information war is intensifying. With sharp commentary, insider analysis, and a clear call for discernment, this episode pulls back the curtain on the real battlefield: the minds of the people.

Jon Herold navigates a chaotic tech-glitchy Friday show to deliver one of the most significant developments yet: President Trump has publicly called for a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election, reigniting the battle over election integrity. Jon dives into the implications of this explosive Truth Social post and connects it to Sidney Powell's past revelation that Trump had named her special counsel in a now-infamous December 2020 White House meeting. From renewed questions about election fraud and foreign interference to Trump's bold stance on Juneteenth and border control, Herold keeps it raw and unscripted. He also breaks down reports of secret nuclear negotiations between the Trump administration and Iran, the 9th Circuit's decision on National Guard powers, and the media's failed inflation predictions under Trump's tariff policies. Toss in a few liberal meltdowns, some sharp shots at fake news and grifters, and Jon's vision for a Badlands compound at the base of a mountain, and you've got a jam-packed episode that blends deep intel, spicy takes, and genuine grassroots energy. Technical hiccups aside, this one hits hard.

Caroline Livesey is an adventurer, extreme triathlete, ultracyclist, elite gravel cyclist and triathlon and life coach.  Caroline started her journey into triathlon while serving with the Royal Engineers in the British Army. After 10 years service she left as a Major in 2013 and pursued a career as a professional triathlete (while working full time as a geotechnical design consultant), originally in Ironman events.  In 2019 circumstances conspired to throw her into her first extreme triathlon, Canadaman XTRI. Winning this event was the catalyst for her to work on her mindset and physical adaptations to take on the gruelling climate conditions which are typical for the Extreme Triathlons such as Norseman and Celtman. She has since won numerous extreme events, and has just returned from winning Patagonman in Chile for the second time.  Caroline is also an elite gravel cyclist, competing for Team GB at the last two World Championships (where she thinks she was the oldest on the start line by some 20 years). She loves single day UCI gravel races but also ultra distance, and has competed at Badlands (3rd), finished Transcordilleras (Colombia), and completed coast-to-coast across Costa Rica in less than two days. She completed the 1000km Transcordilleras, an 8-day stage race, in February this year. Caroline's husband Mark is a documentary / film maker and they make films about their adventures (YouTube, Amazon Prime - The Brick Session). Their purpose is to provide information and inspiration to others so that they might break down their own false beliefs to take on their own challenges.  Caroline and Mark have founded Peak Education Nepal - a charity bringing education to the children of poor families in Nepal who cannot afford to go to school. They became involved in this while in Nepal for an event in 2022, and plan to go back this year to develop the charity and do another mountain trail running adventure.   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

They dive straight into the global stage with Israeli airstrikes reportedly knocking out Iranian military infrastructure, examining the implications for U.S. foreign policy and the chessboard Trump may be maneuvering behind the scenes.

Jon Herold is back with a fiery edition of The Daily Herold, calling out censorship, foreign lobbying, and media manipulation with his trademark blend of sarcasm, receipts, and raw truth. He kicks off with praise for Rumble and a scathing rebuke of YouTube after another round of strikes against Badlands channels, proof, he says, that real free speech only exists on a handful of platforms. From there, Jon tears into Ted Cruz's viral interview with Tucker Carlson, blasting Cruz's unapologetic defense of Israel over Texas and exposing the cozy influence of AIPAC on U.S. politicians. He digs deep into the foreign lobbying debate, challenging why dual citizens and foreign-funded lawmakers get a pass while America-first voices are silenced. Other topics include Trump's executive order extending TikTok's deadline, Jerome Powell's refusal to cut rates, rising global tensions over Iran and Israel, and a surprising amount of praise for Trump's new “magnificent” flagpole. As always, Herold delivers a blend of sharp insight and offbeat humor while reminding listeners that much of what's unfolding is theater, with real consequences.

CannCon and Ashe in America deliver a sharp and fast-paced breakdown of today's biggest headlines, starting with breaking reports of Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military facilities.

The episode also dives into election interference bombshells, including the FBI's quiet admission of Chinese counterfeit driver's licenses tied to 2020 voter fraud, and the brewing legal drama over Trump's presidential immunity case.

In this powerful episode of Badlands Story Hour, hosts Chris Paul and Burning Bright dissect Alex Garland's dystopian film Civil War, unpacking its scathing portrayal of journalism and propaganda in the modern era. Far from a simple Trump-coded allegory, the film is interpreted as a brutal takedown of war journalists who act as narrative engineers, observers who provoke conflict and wield stories as weapons. Chris and Burning explore themes of morality, reality creation, and the manipulative power of photojournalism, drawing parallels to modern psyops, narrative warfare, and color revolutions. The conversation veers into philosophical questions about government, kingship, and power, making a compelling case that truth is found not in facts, but in intent. A must-listen for anyone grappling with media trust, narrative manipulation, or the deeper meaning behind today's cultural conflicts.

The hosts unpack the deep implications, connecting it to long-silenced whistleblowers and the broader collapse of trust in American institutions. From there, the show shifts into geopolitical overdrive. Gordon dives into Israel's precision strikes on Iran, Netanyahu's escalating rhetoric, and the high-stakes dynamics at play between Trump, Putin, and the Israeli opposition. They dissect Netanyahu's attempt to drag Trump into war, the unraveling of the Israeli narrative, and the implications of Starlink lighting up over Iran. Also on deck: Mike Lindell's $2.3 million defamation verdict, suspicious contradictions in the Minnesota “hit list” shooting case, CNN's collapse, and a growing MAGA civil war over foreign entanglements. With sharp humor, hard-hitting facts, and unapologetic takes, this episode is a fiery fusion of breaking news and big-picture strategy.

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.

It's time to play Martin's favorite game. Let's discover a new brewery. It's not so much a game as an obesssion. This time he found a brewery from Ontario, Canada. Badlands Brewing has some releases at Systembolaget so we jumped at the chance to try them. Secret Wave is an annual release of a Hazy IPA. Made with galazy, nectaron and simcoe, it's got tons of tropical and citrus notes. Badlands does a monthly DIPA release. They start with a base recipe and then go crazy with the hops. March DIPA uses peacharine, HBC 1019 and sabro hops. It's a peachy treat! #beer #craftbeer #drinks #dipa

Barbara Peters in conversation with Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

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.

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 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 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.

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.”

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 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.
