Podcasts about Badlands

In this raucous, uncensored Friday-night episode of The Liberty Den, the Badlands crew dives headfirst into Trump's latest Truth Social post calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election, an unmistakable power move that sends regime loyalists into a tailspin. The hosts dissect the legal, political, and psychological implications of Trump going on offense, while mocking the media meltdown that followed. From lawfare implosions to SCOTUS stalling, they connect the dots on how the narrative is collapsing in real time. The conversation turns to the Israel-Iran psyop, the spiritual battle at the heart of geopolitical theater, and the exposure of AIPAC shills and fake MAGA gatekeepers. Expect fire takes, blunt language, and a no-holds-barred breakdown of the military-industrial complex, controlled opposition, and the accelerating Great Awakening. If you like your geopolitics served with whiskey, sarcasm, and unapologetic truth, this episode delivers.

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!

CannCon and Alpha Warrior team up for a punchy and wide-ranging episode of Badlands Daily, unpacking the latest twists in the geopolitical and political circus. 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. Closer to home, the hosts cover the Supreme Court's surprise decisions, new whistleblower revelations about Biden's classified document mishandling, and growing questions around election legitimacy, especially as the GOP establishment scrambles to maintain control. The episode takes aim at Lindsey Graham's latest Ukraine funding scheme, Trump's subtle social media signaling, and what Vivek Ramaswamy's recent statements say about realignment within MAGA. With bold commentary, insider insights, and their signature no-nonsense style, CannCon and Alpha connect the dots between disinformation ops, narrative shifts, and the spiritual war playing out in real time. This episode offers clarity in the chaos, and a reminder that not everything is as it seems.

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. With conflicting narratives and escalating rhetoric, the hosts dig into what's real, what's wartime PR, and what it means for Trump's broader strategy. 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. As the Supreme Court wraps its session, Ashe outlines the major decisions still hanging in the balance and what to expect in the final days before summer recess. Other highlights include analysis of social media psyops, Obama's shadow influence, and the growing divide in Congress over funding foreign wars. Packed with hard truths and biting commentary, this episode connects the dots between global conflict, domestic corruption, and the high-stakes chess game unfolding in real time.

In this episode of Badlands Book Club, Ashe in America and CannCon dive into Chapter 1 of Overruled, co-authored by Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze. The duo breaks down the chapter's exploration of the administrative state and the erosion of individual liberties through unchecked government power. With their signature blend of curiosity, clarity, and constitutional reverence, Ashe and CannCon examine the real-world implications of bureaucratic overreach, particularly how unelected agencies shape policy far beyond their intended scope. From Chevron deference to personal anecdotes that illuminate broader legal principles, this chapter sets the stage for a compelling look at the tension between liberty and regulation. Whether you're a legal novice or a seasoned constitutionalist, this conversation peels back the curtain on how modern governance increasingly sidelines the legislative and judicial branches. Smart, digestible, and deeply relevant, this episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned with the future of freedom in America.

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 Badlands crew returns for a wild ride through the absurdity of modern geopolitics, digital psyops, and meme-fueled rebellion. From alleged Mossad HQ strikes and Israel-Iran saber-rattling to Trump's tactical Truth Social posts, this episode unpacks the chaos with a mix of sharp analysis and unapologetic humor. The hosts break down the role of AI fear porn, propaganda loops, and weaponized media, all while celebrating the rise of the meme militia fighting Clown World with mockery and creativity. When reality feels scripted and psyops go mainstream, OnlyLands reminds you that sometimes the best weapon is a well-placed troll.

CannCon and Ghost kick off this high-voltage episode with a newly declassified FBI intel suggests China may have manufactured fake U.S. driver's licenses in a scheme to produce fraudulent mail-in ballots in the 2020 election. 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.

She breaks down dramatic in-court developments, including a denied motion to dismiss, the strategic absence of key witnesses, and the media's conspicuous silence on what could be a landmark case.

With first-hand reporting, sharp legal insight, and political analysis, this episode highlights the shifting ground beneath the establishment's feet, and the American public's growing refusal to look away.

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.

By keeping its stakes and scope small and escalating its action as the film progresses, Badland Hunters delivers the B-movie goods. Read more at: https://scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/

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.

Can you believe Pat has NEVER seen Predator? That is absolutely insane so this month we right that wrong and dive in to a film with so many meme origins.

The latest Predator film to hit streaming released just a few days ago on Disney+/Hulu. This is the second Predator film from Dan Trachtenberg (Prey), and the first of two Predator films coming from him this year. Badlands, though, will hit cinemas in the fall. I am a newbie to the Predator franchise. Despite loving Arnold and ‘80s action flicks, I only saw the first film for the first time last year, have just caught up on all the sequels as a of a few days ago. I have some mixed opinions on the franchise for sure but there's no questioning how iconic the Predator itself is and how cemented the legacy of this franchise has been into the cinematic tapestry.

Find out in this review!Predator: Killer of KillersDirected by: Dan TrachtenbergCo-Director: Joshua WassungWritten by: Micho RutareBased on a story by: Dan TrachtenbergProduced by: John Davis, Ben Rosenblatt, Marc Toberoff, Dan TrachtenbergExecutive Producers: Lawrence Gordon, Stefan Grube, John C. ThomasCasting by: Jessica ShermanProduction Design by: Ames Carter, Joel ChangCast: Lindsay LaVanchy, Louis Ozawa, Rick GonzalezSynopsis: This anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge; a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession; and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause. But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent — the ultimate killer of killers.

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 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 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 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.

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.

The crew shares stories of jailhouse escapes, courthouse antics, and the politics of pillowcase accessories, all while balancing serious commentary with wildly inappropriate jokes. It's part group therapy, part roast session, and part culture critique, wrapped in the signature OnlyLands style. Whether they're pondering the spiritual symbolism of pink jail bags or reenacting courtroom drama, this episode proves that when the Badlands crew gets together, reality doesn't just bend. it belly flops.

On this June 3rd edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ghost unpack the latest fallout from Trump's conviction, with new polls showing his support only growing, especially among black voters. They analyze Biden's bizarre behavior during his overseas trip, the media's embarrassing attempts to defend him, and the regime's increasingly desperate narrative control. The hosts also spotlight censorship battles, shady Ukraine funding games, and the growing disillusionment with traditional institutions. From crumbling deep state optics to media gaslighting on both domestic and foreign fronts, CannCon and Ghost bring clarity, sarcasm, and no-holds-barred commentary to the day's headlines. As the regime stumbles and the people awaken, it's clear the narrative is shifting...and fast.

On this June 2nd edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine tackle the explosive aftermath of Trump's conviction, dissecting the political theater, legal irregularities, and public backlash rippling across the country. They discuss AG Ken Paxton's escalating legal moves against Pfizer and Big Pharma, explore the potential fallout of Fauci's congressional hearings, and analyze the media's shifting tone as they try to maintain the crumbling narrative. From voter disillusionment and election integrity to psyops and the DeSantis factor, the hosts connect the dots on how the deep state is losing control. They also spotlight Trump's renewed rally presence, his influence on black and Hispanic voters, and signs of grassroots momentum in swing states. With humor, righteous anger, and sharp analysis, this episode paints a clear picture: the storm is here, and the establishment is scrambling.

In Episode 7 of Flow, Cam Cooksey embraces spontaneity and connection with the Badlands chat as he opens up about everything from the 1998 World Cup anthem to quantum frequencies and family jam sessions. With no strict agenda, Cam reflects on the spiritual power of music, shares funny and heartwarming stories about GART gatherings, and dives into his love for soccer and its parallels to American culture. He speaks on the importance of patience, community, and faith, especially in navigating today's spiritual and informational battles. From biblical truths to late-night snack spills and sassy squirrels, this episode flows like a true family reunion. Cam also shouts out Jackie Espada's Hooks & Harmony, shows off some patriotic poultry, and closes with a Morgan Wallen anthem for the working class.

Live from Tallahassee, J.B. White delivers a fiery and reflective episode of the RattlerGator Report, unpacking the political and cultural tensions shaping Florida and the nation. He begins with a passionate response to the controversy surrounding the appointment of Marva Johnson as the new president of Florida A&M University, calling out emotional reactions and urging FAMU supporters to engage with political reality, especially in a Republican-led state. J.B. then shifts to national issues, praising Senator Marco Rubio's bold vision for reforming the State Department and spotlighting a powerful essay on America's Western heritage by Samuel Sampson. He also highlights Seth Keshel's private White House briefing on election integrity and urges patience with Trump's behind-the-scenes strategy. With deep dives into media manipulation, the infantilization of race discourse, and the misuse of language as a weapon, J.B. pulls no punches. From calling out the racial gatekeeping of the N-word to dissecting Trump's strategic moves, he challenges listeners to toughen up, wise up, and stop letting enemies define the terms of battle. This episode is part sermon, part street fight, and all unapologetic Badlands commentary.

In this fast-paced May 30 edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Chris Paul dig into the growing panic in establishment media as Trump agrees to debate Biden, with one major condition: no teleprompters. They explore how this single stipulation is triggering a meltdown across networks and pundits who fear what a live, unscripted face-off might reveal. The hosts unpack the media's desperate defense of Biden's declining cognition, including the latest New York Times spin and Jake Tapper's awkward fact-check fail. They also examine the Left's escalating war on “disinformation,” spotlighting a bizarrely timed fact-check targeting CannCon himself and a crumbling narrative around Project 2025. Shifting gears, Chris and CannCon analyze a cascade of strategic data drops, declassified FBI notes, DOJ inconsistencies, and intel breadcrumbs hinting at bigger revelations to come. From renewed Epstein interest and pipe bomber questions to Trump's unapologetic messaging on tariffs, TikTok, and crypto, this episode reveals a regime scrambling to contain a flood they can no longer control. With their signature blend of mockery, receipts, and insight, the duo reminds listeners: narrative dominance is collapsing, and the truth is winning the long game.

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 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.

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.

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.
