Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Paul

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. From Zelensky's dwindling spotlight to North Korea's bizarre mega resort, this episode is a sweeping tour of collapsing institutions, theatrical geopolitics, and the relentless push to reclaim narrative control.

Broadcasting live from the heart of the Dallas Mavericks Draft Party at the American Airlines Center. With the energy of a franchise-altering night buzzing in the background, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “K-Ray” Ray dive into the biggest headlines, hottest takes, and most hilarious moments of the day.The crew breaks down Kyrie Irving's surprising decision to opt out and re-sign for less—freeing up cap space and giving the Mavs a shot at adding key depth. Who should they target with that $5.7M exception? The debate gets heated as names like Chris Paul, Malcolm Brogdon, D'Angelo Russell, and Dennis Schröder get tossed around like hot fries at a Twisted Root Burger joint.But it's not all basketball—this episode takes a wild turn into movie madness as the gang reacts to the New York Times' Top 100 Movies of the 21st Century. From “Whiplash” to “Borat”, “Uncut Gems” to “Up”, the crew's commentary is as unfiltered as it is hilarious.

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.

In Episode 138 of Baseless Conspiracies, Zak Paine and Chris Paul peel back the layers on the latest round of fear-based programming, from Trump's Iran strike to the West's obsession with nuclear narratives. They examine how the regime weaponizes information to maintain control, using psychological warfare and manufactured threats to manipulate the public. The hosts explore the spiritual and strategic significance of Trump's silence, the symbolic fallout of kinetic events, and how a crumbling regime doubles down on distraction as their systems unravel. With skepticism and sharp humor, they analyze media responses, dissect inverted narratives, and highlight the telltale signs of a controlled demolition of the old world order. From digital psyops to economic gamesmanship, the conversation challenges listeners to see through the spectacle and embrace discernment in the age of deception. It's an episode that reminds you: when everything's a psyop, knowing who you are might be the most revolutionary act of all.

The gang breaks down the Mavericks' move to extend Daniel Gafford for $54.3 million—and what it really means. Is it a long-term commitment or a trade chip in disguise? Skin unpacks the CBA loophole that makes Gafford immediately trade-eligible, and raises the stakes: “They signed him at the exact most amount of money they could give him and still flip him in a trade immediately.”Gafford, Lively, PJ Washington Jr., and now Cooper Flagg—how deep is too deep? Could Gafford be flipped? Is Drew Holiday still in play? What about Chris Paul?As the crew gears up for live draft coverage at the AAC, they leave listeners with a cliffhanger: “Is this the team the Mavs are running back with—or just the beginning of something bigger?”

In this fiery and introspective episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold dives deep into the geopolitical and spiritual implications of President Trump's recent strike on Iranian nuclear sites, and Iran's calculated retaliation. With missiles fired toward U.S. bases in Qatar and Iraq, Jon questions whether we're witnessing a real escalation or a choreographed psyop designed to reshape global power narratives. He breaks down the eerie symmetry to past Trump-era events, including Iran's history of symbolic strikes, and unpacks the explosive New York Times report confirming Iran warned Qatar in advance. This leads into a larger conversation on sovereignty, America First principles, and the danger of MAGA influencers cheering for foreign regime change. Herold wrestles with the tension between trusting Trump and standing against forever wars, ultimately challenging his audience to think critically about what America First really means. With references to Trump's UN speech, Chris Paul's commentary, and a few hard-hitting rants, this episode confronts both the global stakes and personal responsibility in the age of weaponized narrative.

In a bombshell episode of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul unpack the breaking reports that the United States has bombed Iran, a development met with suspicious silence from both the White House and major media outlets. The hosts examine the optics, timing, and possible motives behind this sudden escalation, raising critical questions about narrative manipulation, regime desperation, and whether we're witnessing a false kinetic event designed to distract and divide. Amid this unfolding chaos, they explore the Supreme Court's continued delay on Trump's presidential immunity ruling, interpreting the silence as part of a broader unraveling of institutional legitimacy. Trump's Truth Social post calling for a special prosecutor to investigate 2020 election fraud is also dissected as a major marker in the information war. From war psyops and media fakery to strategic silence and spiritual discernment, this episode hits hard on every front. Jon and Chris connect the dots between foreign policy, lawfare, and the narrative collapse of a regime running out of options. Buckle up, this isn't just history unfolding, it's the reveal of how the game has been rigged all along.

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.

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.

In Episode 363 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul are joined by Ashe in America for a wide-ranging breakdown of the collapsing regime narrative across legal, media, and political fronts. Ashe opens with a critical update from inside the Lindell v. Coomer trial, revealing how bombshell evidence and legal gamesmanship are being ignored by corporate media. From there, the trio explores Trump's calculated moves in Los Angeles, framing ICE raids and National Guard deployment as part of a broader psychological and informational operation meant to bait and expose the opposition. They connect the dots between crumbling confidence in Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom's legal quagmire, Elon Musk's disruptive positioning, and the public's growing refusal to swallow manufactured outrage. With sharp commentary on lawfare, drops, public perception, and the spiritual undercurrent of the moment, this episode paints a clear picture: the regime's playbook is wearing thin, and the counteroffensive is well underway.

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 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.

Get ready for an unfiltered and energetic breakdown of the NBA playoffs as we, Mike Palmer and Tarlin Ray from Running It Back, dive headfirst into the latest on the hardwood! We kick things off by dissecting the Knicks' recent playoff run, asking the tough questions about what went wrong and what's next for Mike's beloved and Tarlin's bandwagon team. Tarlin connects Coach Thibs' firing to a fascinating historical trend—it seems winning Coach of the Year can be a bit of a curse. Meanwhile, Mike remains optimistic that this shake-up opens up exciting new possibilities for the Knicks in the trade and free agent markets. Then, we shift gears to marvel at the Indiana Pacers' surprising success. We're talking about Tyrese Haliburton's incredible clutch shooting and Rick Carlisle's brilliant coaching. While we might not label Haliburton a "superstar," you'll hear why Mike concedes he is an elite point guard who consistently delivers in the clutch. Tarlin even drops some compelling stats, drawing comparisons between Haliburton and Chris Paul. Of course, we can't ignore the Oklahoma City Thunder (OKC). We delve into their suffocating defensive intensity, and I'm even bold enough to make a finals prediction you won't want to miss! We're exploring the evolving landscape of basketball, celebrating deep teams that bring high intensity for all 48 minutes, rather than relying on just one "alpha" superstar. And Tarlin makes a powerful point: it's about the quality of basketball, not just who's the "face of the NBA." So, join us for all this and more—we promise a fun, insightful, and passionately debated journey through the world of NBA.

In Episode 361 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul unpack the accelerating collapse of regime narratives through the lens of strategy, exposure, and psychological warfare. They explore how blackmail has become a central tool in maintaining control over compromised officials and institutions, and how information warfare, more than kinetic conflict, is driving the current phase of the Great Awakening. The duo revisits the fallout from Trump's conviction, dissecting whether it's a political misstep or a brilliantly executed trap meant to dismantle public trust in the justice system. From media meltdowns and odd regime behavior to Elon's unpredictable positioning and the ongoing globalist unraveling, Jon and Chris highlight the difference between genuine chaos and calculated exposure. Layering historical patterns with current-day comms, they offer a reminder: the game isn't being lost, it's being revealed. As the trap closes and the people awaken, the question is no longer if, but when, the scales finally tip. Packed with insight, banter, and big-picture perspective, this episode is a roadmap through the fog of war.

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 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 intellectually rich and refreshingly offbeat episode of Be Reasonable, Chris Paul welcomes cultural theorist and writer Constantin Von Hoffmeister for a high-level discussion on the forces shaping modern civilization. Together, they explore the concept of metapolitics, the ideological framework beneath political discourse, and its role in forming collective consciousness. Constantin shares his insights on nationalism, postmodernism, and the mythic undercurrents that influence both culture and history. From Wagnerian archetypes to the poetic absurdity of modern propaganda, the conversation traverses timelines and geographies to unpack how identity, symbolism, and aesthetic warfare shape the world we live in. The duo also critiques technocratic globalism, touches on Russia's cultural stance, and considers what the West has lost in its pursuit of secular uniformity. With sharp wit and a spirit of intellectual adventure, this episode challenges listeners to think beyond headlines and into the roots of meaning itself.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul return for Episode 359 of Devolution Power Hour, diving headfirst into the unraveling narratives surrounding Biden, Fauci, and the media machine. The duo unpacks Dr. Fauci's disastrous testimony before Congress, highlighting explosive revelations about EcoHealth, lab leak lies, and taxpayer funding for gain-of-function research. They examine how Biden's rapidly deteriorating public persona is no longer sustainable, even for regime-friendly media, and analyze the legal and cultural implosion of the left's most sacred cows. From Ken Paxton's bombshell lawsuit against Pfizer to the spiritual rot of our institutions, Jon and Chris explore how the regime is losing control of its narrative. With humor, sharp analysis, and plenty of truth bombs, this episode paints a picture of a turning tide and previews what might come next.

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.

This week, the guys didn't have too much to talk about since they recorded early, so they started out catching up before diving into the latest NFL and NBA news, including whether the Cowboys should trade for Jalen Ramsey, early Super Bowl predictions, and Terry Bradshaw's criticism of Aaron Rodgers.

To close, the guys react to Ab-Soul's latest track towards Joey.Follow the podcast:Instagram | YouTube | WebsiteStream our playlist:Apple Music | Spotify

In this episode, we start by talking about the sad state of NBA coverage and why today's “hot take” culture has led people like Tony Allen and Carmelo Anthony to make bold proclamations doubting Cooper Flagg's NBA potential. We also talk about how it reminds us of the way Luka Dončić was talked about as a prospect in 2018 and even how some people discuss him now. We then transition to talk about the Mavs options at point guard this summer, covered in our recent article. We all agree that it's not worth the potential cost to acquire Jrue Holiday, who is 35 years old and is making a lot of money. While Lonzo Ball could be a nice fit with the Mavs, his injury issues make it necessary to acquire someone else to help shore up the backcourt. And while 40-year old Chris Paul might make the most sense to pair with Cooper Flagg, it's difficult to see a path to signing him, with the Mavs likely only having the league minimum to offer him. Vinay suggests the Mavs exploring options outside of those three players like Anfernee Simons and Colin Sexton, both who are currently under contract with other teams, but could provide more of what the Mavs need. Finally, we analyze Mavs CEO Rick Welts' recent comments at a Wall Street Journal event. He had one very revealing quote from the appearance: “We have since rethought a lot of procedures about how we'll do things in Dallas going forward” That quote seems to indicate that Mavs Governor Patrick Dumont's “In Nico We Trust” approach is officially dead. After the recent public relations disaster one could assume that there are now more checks and balances in place, and that any basketball decision the Mavs make needs to not threaten their business model like the Luka Dončić trade did. Welts becoming an increasingly public face of the Mavs franchise would indicate that he has earned significant trust with Dumont, and if anyone could put the bug in Dumont's ear about firing Nico Harrison, it might be him. In any case, time will tell. Thanks for reading Mavs Film Room! Subscribe for free to receive new posts. This is a public episode.

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.

1. NFC East-When you add a special talent like Abdul Carter to a defensive front that includes star DT Dexter Lawrence, edge rushers Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux, plus DT and 2025 third-round pick Darius Alexander, would you say the Giants have, at least on paper, the most fearsome pass rush in the entire NFL right now?-Do you see Jaxson Dart starting five or more games this season?-Do you think the added presence of Donovan Ezeiruaku to that Cowboys front four is going to free up Micah Parsons, schematically speaking, like never before?-How helpful can Tyler Booker, Ezeiruaku, and Shavon Revel, Jr. be in helping the Cowboys get the most out of George Pickens?-Do you think the best Week 1 OL combination for the Commanders includes Josh Conerly, Jr. at RT with Brandon Coleman kicking inside to guard, or is it Coleman staying put at RT with Conerly moving inside?-Would you anticipate Trey Amos growing into that No. 1 shutdown corner for the Commanders at some point this season?-I'm not saying Jihaad Campbell is Micah Parsons, but does Vic Fangio now have a weapon he can deploy in a very similar way?-Do you think Andrew Mukuba pushes Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown for one of the starting safety spots in Philly?2. NFC South -How does Tetairoa McMillan help Bryce Young continue on this promising trajectory?-Will the Panthers be getting the 2023 version of Nic Scourton as opposed to the 2024 version?-How ideal is it for the Saints to begin a roster makeover with two starting tackles on rookie contracts?-Would you bet on Tyler Shough being the Saints starting QB when they face the Cardinals in Week 1?-Just how skeptical are you that James Pearce, Jr. will end up living up to the price the Falcons paid to get him?-Does Emeka Egbuka bring anything to the table that Chris Godwin does not?-Would it be a surprise to you if both Benjamin Morrison and Jacob Parrish are NOT playing starter-level snaps this season in Tampa?3. NFC North-After bringing in an innovative offensive mind in Ben Johnson to be their new head coach, re-vamping the OL, and ensuring that Caleb Williams will have four solid targets on the field at a time, is it safe to say the Bears have done everything possible to right their disastrous wrong in 2024?-Do you think Ozzy Trapilo has a legit shot to beat out Braxton Jones for the starting LT spot?-How do Matthew Golden and Savion Williams immediately upgrade the WR room in Green Bay?-With Donovan Jackson sliding in to that LG spot, do you see the Vikings as a top-five offensive line in 2025?-Do you see such upside in Tyleik Williams when it comes to rushing the passer?-What does the ceiling look like for Isaac TeSlaa?4. NFC West-Would you be surprised if Mykel Williams ends up winning 2025 NFL DROY honors?-Do you think Walter Nolen ended up in one of the best places possible that will help him reach his immense potential?-If the concerns about his knee end up being overblown, just how special a talent are the Cardinals getting in Will Johnson?-Can you see a scenario where Jalen Milroe ends up as the Seahawks starting QB in 2027?-Do you see Mike Macdonald utilizing Nick Emmanwori in pretty much the same way he used Kyle Hamilton in Baltimore?-Does it feel that most (if not all) signs are pointing toward the Rams landing their long-term successor to Matthew Stafford on Day 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft?-Which one of Jarquez Hunter or Chris Paul, Jr. do you think is most likely to far outplay his draft slot and why?(Photo via New York Giants)

In this mind-bending episode of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul take listeners on a two-hour journey through quantum tech, media psyops, and the unraveling of physical reality itself. At the heart of the discussion is General Steven Kwast's bombshell interview on the Sean Ryan Show, where he outlines how quantum communication could rewrite history, and why it proves the existence of God. The hosts analyze what this means for military strategy, continuity of government, and even the foundational assumptions behind our reality. Trump's aggressive push for nuclear energy via the Defense Production Act is also dissected, alongside questions of executive power, devolution strategy, and wartime governance. The episode covers AI deepfakes, prompt theory, simulation parallels in media, and the potential misuse of quantum tech for surveillance or even historical erasure. Herold and Paul layer in philosophical and theological reflections, weaving in Trump's American Academy proposal, Harvard's colonial charter, Flynn's continuity of government warning, and Epstein file inconsistencies, all under a meta lens of truth, technology, and trust. This is not just political commentary, it's a philosophical expedition into power, perception, and the future

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. Guest commentary from Elon Musk at a global summit adds extra heat, Musk warns of media manipulation, political violence, and globalist-backed sabotage. This episode connects the dots between financial corruption, narrative control, and symbolic communication. With humor, insight, and righteous skepticism, CannCon and Chris Paul paint a picture of a regime in retreat and a movement gaining momentum.

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 355 of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul dissect a week filled with narrative-shaping headlines and global optics that suggest Trump is anything but out of power. They break down Trump's royal treatment on his Middle East tour, explore the geopolitical shift toward nuclear energy and AI infrastructure, and reflect on the UAE's extraordinary decision to close its Grand Mosque for Trump's visit, a first in history. The hosts scrutinize the Supreme Court's conflicting legitimacy, the AutoPen scandal, and Biden's mental fog as revealed in the newly released Hur tapes. From CIA-backed media distractions to judicial overreach, Jon and Chris explore how the regime props up a false reality while Trump maneuvers through both the surface and sovereign layers of control. With sharp insight and humor, they tie in symbolism, SCOTUS hypocrisy, and global realignment as the world prepares for a tectonic political shift.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! What happens when a grandson's late grandfather refuses to stay silent and a pop-culture junkie can't shake the lure of the unknown? You get Denys Blazer and Chris Paul—two friends burning vacation days (and questionable amounts of coffee) to chase whispers from the beyond. From abandoned hospitals to sleepy backroads with more ghosts than gas stations, they've lugged recorders, EMF meters, and probably a few questionable snacks in search of answers—and sometimes just a name to put to that disembodied “hello.” Tonight, Denys recounts the moment his grandfather's unmistakable presence cracked his reality wide open, while Chris explains how binge-watching haunted TV at 2 a.m. turned into fieldwork that would make most people sprint for the exit. Expect stories of roadside apparitions, graveyard stakeouts, and the kind of EVP clips that make you double-check your locks. This is Part Two of our conversation.

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. The hosts also tackle Trump's foreign policy power plays, including historic deals with Qatar, ongoing talks with Iran and Syria, and a possible end to the Ukraine conflict that hinges entirely on Trump and Putin, not Zelensky. 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. With commentary on FEMA corruption, state dependency, AI propaganda, and geopolitical kabuki theater, this episode blends sharp legal analysis, narrative deconstruction, and good old-fashioned outrage. It's Badlands at full throttle.
