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

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

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

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

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

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

In this heartfelt Memorial Day edition of Flow, host Cam Cooksey reflects on personal and national heroes who shaped his life and the country.

He pays tribute to Toby Keith's patriotism, reflects on the power of spiritual water and generational wisdom, and shares intimate stories from his deeply rooted Southern family legacy.

With spontaneous commentary, chatroom love, and moments of emotional transparency, Cam invites the audience to reconnect with their roots, their purpose, and the God who guides it all. Whether he's swatting a mosquito mid-show or praising his Badlands family, Cam reminds us that healing starts at home, and it starts with love.

In this explosive Friday edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America rip the veil off the Biden administration's increasingly fragile façade.

Whistleblowers point fingers at a shadowy trio controlling the White House, raising unprecedented constitutional concerns. They dive into RFK Jr.'s “MAHA” report aimed at reversing chronic childhood illness through nutrition and detoxification, highlighting the dangers of over-medication and the systemic failure of Big Pharma's grip on PTSD and TBI care. Myocarditis risks from COVID vaccines, buried VAERS data, and the political weaponization of public health come under fire. The episode also explores Democrats' coordinated effort to infiltrate the podcast space with AstroTurf influencers and the FTC's investigation into Media Matters' collusion to suppress dissenting voices. From Harvard's international student ban to the deep rot of institutional corruption, this episode is a no-holds-barred takedown of narrative control, and a call to reclaim the republic.

In a packed episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Alpha Warrior dive into the breaking story of a DC museum shooting that quickly ignited a firestorm of narrative manipulation.

The hosts dissect viral reactions, media framing, and the manipulation of both pro-Israel and pro-Palestine sentiment in the U.S. The episode takes a deep dive into foreign influence in American media, highlighting Qatari lobbying efforts, Tucker Carlson's controversial interviews, and the opaque rules surrounding podcaster meetings with Netanyahu.

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

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

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

In this jam-packed episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ghost tackle the geopolitical chessboard reshaped by Trump's triumphant Middle East tour. From trillion-dollar investment deals to the snub heard 'round the world, Trump's strategic bypass of Netanyahu signals a seismic shift in the U.S.-Israel relationship. Ghost breaks down the symbolic sword dances, economic alliances with MBS and Qatar, and what it all means for the emerging sovereign order. Meanwhile, back in the States, Biden's Gleason-9 prostate cancer diagnosis raises serious red flags.

They also explore the AutoPen scandal, Jill Biden's rumored revenge arc, and how the Democrats may be preparing a scorched-earth exit. The show hits everything from Trump's peace-brokering ambitions in Ukraine and Syria to bizarre Supreme Court rulings, DOJ shake-ups, and rumors of rogue North Korean special forces liberating Africa.

CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine return to break down a weekend that felt like a bombshell factory. Leading off is the White House's revelation, Joe Biden has aggressive prostate cancer that's metastasized to his bones.

The duo also dives into the devastating Her tapes, debunking Biden's excuses and highlighting his metronome-assisted struggle with basic cognition. Internationally, they unpack color revolutions in Europe, Ed Martin's whistleblower revelations, and the shocking rig-job in Romania's elections. Back home, it's all eyes on Pam Bondi, Steve Jensen, and the massive shake-up inside the DOJ and FBI.

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

In this fiery Friday edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Chris Paul dig into one of the most explosive weeks in recent memory. They start with James Comey's bizarre “8647” beach photo, unpacking Trump's response and the deeper implications of the number's ties to assassination symbolism and post-9/11 timelines. The discussion turns to the Supreme Court's hearing on birthright citizenship, where the justices wrestled with the limits of judicial overreach and universal injunctions. Clarence Thomas and Solicitor General Sauer make a strong case against nationwide judicial interference, while Kagan and Jackson push back in defense of systemic lawfare.

Updates on the weaponization of the DOJ, cartel cooperation deals, and a major FBI overhaul with Kash Patel and Dan Bongino highlight the administration's aggressive internal cleanup efforts.

Ashe shares her journey from globalist corporate strategist to Badlands firebrand, while GMoney lays out his vision for "digital 1776," where the people reclaim their energy, time, and governance through peer-to-peer value systems.

In this mind-bending episode of Badlands Story Hour, Burning Bright and Chris Paul dive deep into the Oscar-winning multiverse epic Everything Everywhere All at Once, unpacking its frenetic chaos, cultural subtext, and the profoundly human themes buried beneath its absurdist surface. Despite initial skepticism, mocking what they assumed to be another Hollywood morality lecture wrapped in wokewash, the hosts find themselves surprised by the film's emotional core and moralist message. They dissect the film's commentary on nihilism, family breakdown, systemic dysfunction, and the desperate search for meaning in a collapsing world. Michelle Yeoh's Evelyn is a tragic heroine who finds redemption not through superhero powers but through compassion, presence, and the quiet strength of choosing love over despair. Chris and Burning explore how Evelyn's immigrant experience and generational trauma mirror cultural clashes between East and West, modernity and tradition, duty and individuality. The discussion turns philosophical and personal, with reflections on multiverse theory, the illusion of infinite choice, and the spiritual consequences of postmodern storytelling. From Waymond's underestimated wisdom to Joy's doomer spiral, the film becomes a lens through which the hosts examine relationships, regret, and the modern obsession with alternate paths and lost potential. With humor, insight, and just enough sarcasm, Story Hour transforms what could have been a Hollywood write-off into a meaningful meditation on what it means to truly matter.

Tune in for a very different kind of multiverse.

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

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

In this high-impact episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold breaks down President Trump's game-changing speech in Saudi Arabia, calling it one of the most significant geopolitical addresses of his second term. Jon walks listeners through the key takeaways: a $600 billion Saudi investment in the U.S., the lifting of sanctions on Syria, and the bold framing of Iran as both threat and potential partner. He emphasizes the absence of Israel in Trump's Middle East realignment, an intentional and telling omission as Trump praises the region's transformation without Western intervention. Jon also explores Trump's rhetorical pivot away from regime-change policies and his declaration that “nation builders wrecked more nations than they built.” Clips from the speech highlight Trump's call for regional self-governance, an end to permanent enemies, and a “golden age” for both America and the Middle East. Herold connects these themes to long-standing Badlands narratives, including the sovereign alliance, devolution, and the Abraham Accords, hinting that Saudi Arabia may soon join. Beyond the Middle East, Jon dives into domestic policy, including Trump's executive order slashing drug prices, backlash from Thom Tillis and Big Pharma allies, and new subpoenas targeting California's alleged misuse of federal funds for illegal immigrants. He also unpacks Trump's evolving role in crypto, criticisms of his Qatari jet gift, and explosive revelations from Jake Tapper's new book exposing Biden's declining health and internal campaign chaos. With sharp analysis, media callouts, and plenty of sarcastic jabs, Jon weaves together narrative warfare, foreign policy shifts, and political theater in what may be Trump's clearest roadmap to peace, and power, yet.

In this electric episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America unpack a tidal wave of political, economic, and cultural firestorms. Leading the charge is Trump's controversial refugee policy shift, granting sanctuary to persecuted white South African farmers. The hosts dive into the MSM and NGO meltdowns over the decision, with Al Sharpton and Episcopal charities losing their minds over the idea of refugee status being extended to anyone who isn't part of the globalist agenda. Next up: the weekend's chaos at a New Jersey ICE facility, where leftist clergy and NGO activists formed a human blockade, allegedly preventing emergency vehicles from entering. Ashe and CannCon expose the hypocrisy of selective enforcement and draw scathing comparisons to J6 prosecutions. The show also breaks down the staggering April spike in U.S. customs revenue, $16.3 billion, proving Trump's tariff policies are working. They then dissect the debut of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” with wins like work requirements for Medicaid, tax-free tips, and MAGA savings accounts for kids, but warn it lacks meaningful spending cuts. Senator Ron Johnson's critique becomes a jumping-off point for a broader discussion on runaway federal debt, the failure of Congress, and Mike Johnson's disappointing leadership. With a mix of legal insight, biting sarcasm, and offbeat humor, including commentary on zombie shows, AI security concerns over Qatar's luxury jet gift, and Justice Sotomayor's outrageous ABA comments, this episode is a full-spectrum takedown of regime narratives and a celebration of the political awakening in real time.

In this jam-packed episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine recap an explosive weekend of geopolitical maneuvers, domestic drama, and policy bombshells. Kicking off with Trump's massive executive order to slash prescription drug prices, the hosts break down how “most favored nation” pricing could collapse Big Pharma's profit model and reshape U.S. healthcare forever. But the chaos doesn't stop there, things heat up as they cover a Democrat-led insurrection at an ICE detention facility, complete with congressmembers pushing past federal officers and body-slamming staff. They compare the media's silence to the J6 hysteria, exposing blatant double standards and growing left-wing desperation. The duo dives into global updates, from Trump's peace push in Ukraine and a historic India-Pakistan ceasefire to renewed Iran nuclear talks and Saudi Arabia's potential civil nuclear deal. They explore the possible recognition of a Palestinian state and what that could mean for Netanyahu and the Abraham Accords. Add in Macron's suspected coke spoon, Zelensky's backwards pants, and a vanished witness in the Diddy trial, and you've got an episode that's part war room, part wild ride. From collapsing narratives to rising coalitions, this is the show that tracks the real-time shift of power from the global elite to the people, with just the right dose of humor and side-eye.

In this spirited roundtable episode of The Liberty Den, a colorful cast of Badlands Media hosts reunites for a wide-ranging, off-the-rails Friday night. The crew dives headfirst into geopolitical fireworks, dissecting reports of Trump's upcoming recognition of a Palestinian state and a possible Saudi nuclear deal, moves that could reshape the Middle East and silence critics who long accused him of being controlled by Israel. Ghost breaks down the historical promise Trump made to Mahmoud Abbas in 2017 and why this move would be the ultimate dealmaker's full-circle moment. The conversation shifts to domestic chaos, including the viral backlash against Dr. Casey Means, Trump's new pick for Surgeon General. Ash and the crew tear apart the credential-obsessed critics, arguing that rejecting allopathic doctrine is a badge of honor, not a disqualifier. Meanwhile, the hosts joke about a potential "GART Gaza" summit and debate the merits (and dangers) of Badlands-themed cruise events. Later, they tackle Vatican politics, celebrity-worship culture in D.C., and the corrupt foundations of modern religion. A passionate discussion unfolds about Trump's strategic manipulations, how people misinterpret his endorsements, and why emotional intelligence, not blind loyalty, is key to understanding his moves. From dark humor and brutal honesty to spiritual reflection and political fire, this is Liberty Den at its finest, equal parts late-night comedy, geopolitical warfare, and grassroots therapy.

In this high-energy press briefing-style livestream, the Trump administration lays out a sweeping agenda that reasserts American strength on the world stage and resets domestic policy priorities. The livestream opens with the announcement of President Trump's upcoming historic return to the Middle East, his first since launching the Abraham Accords, emphasizing peace through strength, economic collaboration, and cultural exchange. Simultaneously, a new $5 billion trade deal with the UK marks a triumph in agricultural exports and aircraft sales, while Secretary Scott Bessen heads to Switzerland for high-stakes trade talks with China. The White House also unveils a bold new self-deportation initiative incentivizing illegal immigrants to use the CBP Home app to return voluntarily, reducing enforcement costs by 70%. Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump secures $25 million in funding to support youth aging out of foster care, continuing her BE BEST legacy. In a flurry of press questions, Trump's meme coin raises ethical questions, Marco Rubio is confirmed to be heading national security negotiations, and Judge Janine Pirro is named interim U.S. Attorney for D.C., following Ed Martin's reassignment. Meanwhile, a proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine garners mixed international responses, and a controversial U.S.-led aid distribution plan in Gaza sparks debate. The administration doesn't hold back on domestic shifts either, firing the Librarian of Congress over DEI and inappropriate content, proposing the renaming of the Persian Gulf, and celebrating bipartisan outrage as California walks back its decriminalization of child prostitution. From federal restructuring and bold foreign policy to crypto, censorship, and the collapse of the regime narrative, this isn't just a political update. It's a signal that the era of Clown World may finally be ending.

In this fast-paced Friday edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Chris Paul cover a tidal wave of headlines that span global geopolitics, U.S. legal drama, and institutional hypocrisy. The show opens with a breakdown of Pope Leo XIV's historic election, the first American Pope, and dives deep into his past controversies, ideological leanings, and unexpected prediction by Steve Bannon. Trump's muted reaction and the pope's alignment with globalist views raise eyebrows, especially amid past abuse cover-up allegations from his time in Peru. The conversation shifts stateside to Victory Day in Russia, where Trump's absence contrasts starkly with the parade of BRICS-aligned world leaders in Moscow, while tensions with Ukraine flare amid drone strikes. Back at home, the hosts unpack the bait-and-switch surrounding Ed Martin's removal as U.S. Attorney for D.C., revealing Thom Tillis as the scapegoat and Judge Jeanine Pirro as the flashy replacement. Yet Trump's strategic redeployment of Martin as pardon attorney and director of the DOJ's Weaponization Working Group hints at long-game maneuvers against the regime. The duo tackles a storm of stories: RFK Jr.'s controversial Surgeon General pick, the FBI's criminal probe into Letitia James, the staggering failure to locate 95,000 migrant children, California Democrats walking back their decriminalization of child prostitution, John Fetterman's bizarre mental spiral, and Biden's humiliating cognitive flops on The View. They also question James O'Keefe's underwhelming Epstein exposé and discuss how institutional rot infects everything from the courts to Congress to the FBI. With brutal honesty and dark humor, CannCon and Chris Paul cut through the narrative clutter to expose the controlled ops, power plays, and fake facades holding the current system together.

On this episode of Badlands Live, Ghost kicks things off with opening commentary on the strategic importance of Trump's surprise UK trade deal announcement. He breaks down the timing, coinciding with Victory in Europe Day, and explores the potential economic and geopolitical ripple effects, including how the agreement could pressure the EU, revive Brexit momentum, and give the U.S. a backdoor into European markets. After setting the stage, Ghost hands the stream over to live coverage of FBI Director Kash Patel's explosive Senate testimony. Patel fields tough questions on the FBI's handling of January 6 investigations, due process concerns surrounding immigrant deportations, and the controversial DOGE data consolidation program. His calm but firm defense of constitutional principles, coupled with moments of sharp pushback from senators, provides a revealing look into the future of the bureau under his leadership. From trade wars to internal reform, this episode captures a pivotal moment in America's economic and political reawakening, all live and unfiltered.

On this high-voltage episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Alpha Warrior dive into a whirlwind of controversies and political chess moves. Kicking off with Trump's surprise nomination of Dr. Casey Means as Surgeon General, the hosts tackle the media pile-on, Laura Loomer's personal attacks, and the establishment's discomfort with holistic medicine. They defend Means' unconventional background and raise questions about why spiritual beliefs and alternative healing provoke such backlash from Big Pharma loyalists. The episode shifts gears as Alpha and CannCon analyze Kash Patel's fiery Congressional testimony, where he shuts down lies and defends the Constitution amidst baseless attacks. They decode the significance of this exchange, highlight strategic speech patterns in DC, and speculate on the unfolding narrative around the 2020 election, and its possible unraveling. Trump's new UK trade deal takes center stage, and the hosts explore its deeper implications beyond tariffs, suggesting a power shift in the Five Eyes alliance and a symbolic move toward global realignment. They also unpack the implications of the US-Houthi ceasefire, the upcoming Iran nuclear negotiations, and Trump's strategic sidelining of Israel's hardliners. Is a new Middle East peace deal on the horizon? From Ed Martin's Senate confirmation battle to a staggering FBI operation rescuing 115 children from sex trafficking rings, the episode closes with powerful discussions on justice, transparency, and the soul of the nation. Badlands Daily once again delivers the news behind the news, cutting through the noise with fearless commentary and unapologetic truth.

Badlands Live is unfiltered coverage of Senate and House Hearings, Meetings, Pressers, Speeches, and Breaking News as it happens! Ashe in America, Ghost of Based Patrick Henry, and other Badlands Hosts hop in for commentary you'll only find here!

In this wild ride of an episode, a full cast of Badlands Media regulars swaps politics for poolside confessions as they recount tales from their recent GART meetup, starting with Ghost's noble sacrifice in an Olympic-sized (probably not) hot tub bust. With Brian making his OnlyLands debut and the gang cracking jokes about denied bar entry, suspicious hotel designs, and Putin's questionable hockey prowess, the vibes are equal parts chaos and comedy. But it's not all hot tub hijinks and hallway gossip; the crew eventually dives deep into geopolitics, speculating on Trump's rumored peace deal tour, Carney's globalist credentials, and the constitutional crisis brewing over the unconfirmed U.S. Attorney for D.C. Expect sharp takes on Iran, Canada's shadowy influence, and how the judiciary could end up in Trump's crosshairs. Equal parts party recap and political breakdown, this episode captures the off-script brilliance that only Badlands can deliver.

On this episode of Badlands Daily, hosts CannCon and Ashe in America unpack a flurry of breaking news, from judicial corruption to international instability. They begin with a rundown of recent Trump posts and what they signal about the ongoing political war, highlighting Trump's nod to Biden's legal troubles and a warning shot aimed at lawfare operatives. CannCon and Ashe dive into recent revelations about Judge Merchan's daughter and her firm's ties to Democratic fundraising, raising serious concerns about conflicts of interest in the Trump trial. The conversation then shifts to the absurdity of Michael Cohen's testimony, with the hosts exposing glaring contradictions and timeline issues. They draw attention to the media's synchronized distraction campaign, including the left's attempts to revive COVID fears and shift public attention toward Middle East unrest. Updates on Julian Assange's legal battle, Europe's energy dependence, and signals of military instability in the Pacific round out the global segment. Finally, they reflect on a key theme: Trump's controlled messaging, the orchestrated panic among legacy media, and how Americans can discern signal from noise in an information war. Packed with intel, context, and sharp commentary, this episode captures the sense of urgency and hope behind the scenes of the 2024 fallout.

In this mind-bending episode of Badlands Story Hour, Chris Paul and Burning Bright dissect the 1998 cult classic Dark City, unpacking its layers of metaphysical allegory, postmodern reality construction, and infowar symbolism. The hosts explore the film's eerie parallels to our own false-reality existence, where truth is hidden behind collective memory and controlled narratives. They contrast the movie's portrayal of manipulated realities with today's psyops, election fraud, and the COVID narrative, warning against “limited hangouts” and half-truths that keep people trapped in intellectual loops. From postmodernism and nihilism to the cathedral and control systems beyond it, they tie the film's themes to everything from cloud seeding to Tartaria to the Q drops. They highlight how questioning, rather than asserting, leads to awakening, and how breaking through cognitive dissonance is key to escaping the maze. With nods to Socratic dialogue, mind mapping, and parallel systems, the episode ends with a call to build new realities from first principles and spiritual truth. It's a dense, philosophical, and at times darkly comedic exploration of one of the most underrated red-pill movies ever made.

In this special surprise birthday episode of Brad and Abbey Live, Brad Zerbo honors his wife and co-host, Abbey “Blue Eyes” Zerbo, with a heartfelt showcase of her creative genius, spiritual depth, and contributions to the freedom movement. What begins as a regular stream quickly transforms into a moving retrospective, featuring original songs, videos, and commentary highlighting Abbey's journey from early YouTube videos and Q-inspired anthems to her powerful spoken-word pieces, comedic edits, and spiritual compositions. Brad plays some of Abbey's most cherished works, including her first Q song “Make It Rain,” her walkaway anthem, and their first musical collaboration “We've Broken Through.” Listeners are treated to a stirring performance of “The Lord's Prayer,” a boomerang news parody, and “Welcome to the End Game,” a montage celebrating the American spirit. Abbey shares insights on her creative process, the role of faith in her life, and how the Great Awakening helped shape her path. The episode is both personal and inspiring, revealing the story of a woman who turned truth-seeking into a mission of light, artistry, and courage. It's a love letter to Abbey, wrapped in music, laughter, and gratitude, from her husband, their audience, and the Badlands family.

In Episode 8 of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America dive deep into Chapters 13 and 14 of Kash Patel's Government Gangsters, exposing the entrenched rot of the intelligence community and the Department of Defense. The episode begins with a fiery discussion on the importance of Ed Martin's confirmation as U.S. Attorney for D.C., a critical position that could redefine the future of high-profile prosecutions, and highlights how entrenched bureaucratic rules are designed to stall reform and protect regime loyalists. As they move into Patel's account of his time at ODNI and the DoD, CannCon and Ashe explore how bloated staffing, classification abuse, and agency rivalry prevent transparency and obstruct presidential authority. They examine the centralization of intelligence under ODNI and the dangerous “stovepiping” that keeps key information siloed. Kash's recommendations, streamlining personnel, establishing accountability, and overhauling classification systems, spark further debate about whether General Flynn could soon be leading those reforms. In Chapter 14, the spotlight shifts to the Pentagon, where Kash reveals the incestuous relationship between senior military brass and defense contractors. From generals lobbying for wars they later profit from, to Trump's battles with Secretary Esper, and the eventual appointment of Chris Miller, this chapter outlines how Trump's final 72 days were spent racing to dismantle the Defense Industrial Complex. A must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the real war behind the wars.

On this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ghost take aim at the day's top headlines, exposing media manipulation and political gamesmanship. They kick things off with the real story behind Texas' border security victory after a federal judge ruled in favor of the state's right to enforce immigration at the Rio Grande. Then it's onto the Biden admin's narrative spin regarding the failed Texas shooter and the increasingly obvious push to disarm the public through manufactured gun control stories. The hosts dissect the media's role in shaping public opinion, from selective reporting on transgender activism to the framing of recent Middle East updates. The show also highlights an alarming new federal push to track and suppress online dissent under the guise of AI “misinformation” enforcement. From U.S. political stunts and judicial overreach to international posturing and media gaslighting, CannCon and Ghost blend fact-checking with unapologetic analysis. No topic is off-limits as they sift through propaganda to arm listeners with what they need to know, minus the spin.
