Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Paul

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.

The Dodgers salvaged a game in St Louis and Fred and Rodney debate whether the Cardinals playing a video of Matt Adams taking Kershaw deep in a playoff game was off base. Now the Dodgers head to San Diego to face the Padres. Is San Diego their biggest rival right now? Chris Paul is a free agent and may want to keep playing hoops close to home - could he join Lebron and Luka with the Lakers?

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. Whether you're steeped in philosophy or just curious about the deeper currents beneath politics, this dialogue offers plenty to chew on.

Walker Mehl, host on WFNZ & the Locked on the Hornets podcast joins the show, as he explains why he'd be interested in bringing Chris Paul to Charlotte, what players make sense for the team to draft at #4 & if they should be open to trading the pick away See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. In the NBA, they break down the playoff picture, talk about a potential Pacers vs Thunder Finals, and debate whether the Timberwolves have a real co-star for Anthony Edwards. Plus, they get into what the future holds for OKC and Indiana, whether Boston will blow it up, and if the Mavs should chase Chris Paul, Lonzo Ball, or Jrue Holiday. 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 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 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 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.

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.” 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.

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.

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. The verdict? “The universe may be a bagel, but there's still something worth fighting for in the center.” Next week's pick: The Apprentice, a film about Trump's early years with Roy Cohn. Tune in for a very different kind of multiverse.

In this special edition of Baseless Conspiracies, Jon Herold welcomes Chris Paul, filling in for Zak “RedPill78” Paine, for a deep dive into the shadowy underworld of Hollywood's elite party scene, and how it ties into Diddy's unfolding scandal. Drawing from 14 years of firsthand experience in nightlife promotion, Chris unpacks how fame, influence, and blackmail culture intersect to trap rising stars in webs of control and compromise. From luxury parties that serve as PR fronts to whispered rumors of abuse and entrapment, the episode explores how social status is weaponized, and what it means to truly “sell your soul.” The two also dissect Trump's controversial endorsement of Jack Ciattarelli in New Jersey, raising questions about strategy, optics, and what it means when elections are rigged from the start. They revisit the emoluments clause in the context of Trump's Qatar jet optics war, speculate on the motives behind elite gifts, and unpack why Fetterman might be MAGA's favorite “accidental psyop.” A powerful segment on “The Party of False Decorum” reveals how social media clout, corporate propaganda, and elite networking conspire to silence dissent and elevate manipulators. Chris recounts his own red-pill journey, from elite parties to full MAGA rebellion, and lays bare how Hollywood churns out obedience in exchange for fame. From grotesque rumors to systemic truths, this episode is a riveting blend of Hollywood exposé, spiritual awakening, and cultural autopsy. The veil lifts, and the party's over.

In this jam-packed episode of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul break down a week of global and domestic shakeups, from the historic rise of Pope Leo XIV to Trump's tactical reshuffling of the DOJ. They analyze Ed Martin's blocked nomination, Judge Jeanine Pirro's appointment, and how Trump may be using interim roles to sidestep Senate obstruction. The conversation turns constitutional as the hosts explore Trump's potential suspension of habeas corpus, drawing from the Federalist Papers and court precedent to argue it's a return to founding principles, not tyranny. They also call out the regime media's likely meltdown and spotlight how public consensus may be the real weapon. Toss in takedowns of James O'Keefe's Epstein flop, Ron DeSantis' tax posturing, and a bold theory on Trump's “Great Reset,” and you've got a fast-moving, thought-provoking episode that connects the dots like only DPH can.

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.

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.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright take a deep dive into Guillermo del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth in Episode 114 of Badlands Story Hour, unpacking the film's dark fairy tale aesthetics, hidden symbolism, and unsettling parallels to real-world narratives. They explore whether the film's fantastical underworld represents an escape from fascist tyranny or a more disturbing inversion of reality itself. Through sharp cultural analysis, the hosts dissect the film's mythic structure, its use of fairy tale tropes, and how the character of Ophelia reflects themes of trauma, imagination, and innocence under siege. The discussion expands to the archetype of the "moon child," grooming symbolism hidden in plain sight, and how Del Toro's narrative subtly parallels elite abuses of power. They contrast collectivist propaganda with true sovereignty and debate whether myth and imagination offer liberation—or another trap. From the depravity of Captain Vidal to the seductive manipulation of the Faun, this episode blends literary insight with cultural commentary in classic Badlands fashion. A must-listen for those who love storytelling with teeth.

In a packed Saturday night edition of Devolution Power Hour, Jon Herold and Chris Paul dive into a whirlwind of topics connecting culture, geopolitics, and narrative warfare. They start light with the NFL draft drama surrounding Shedeur Sanders, exposing how Trump's casual posts seemingly shattered a media-manufactured story in real time. Then they pivot into Trump's meeting with Zelensky at the Pope's funeral, dissecting its optics, body language, and what Trump's subtle rebuke of Putin really signals in the broader geopolitical chess match. From there, Jon and Chris explore NATO's desperate attempts to stay relevant in Ukraine, the accelerating collapse of the Crossfire Hurricane coverup, and how Israel's AI warfare tech reveals just how advanced military technology has become. They also cover nuclear energy diplomacy with Armenia and Iran, the Abraham Accords expansion, and how sovereignty battles are being framed through economic and military alliances. Wrapping up, they discuss the FBI arresting corrupt judges, Katie Hobbs' ties to human smuggling scandals, the Defense Policy Board purge, and how Trump's new executive orders targeting ActBlue and foreign interference connect back to EO 13848. It is a sprawling, energetic episode packed with insight, theory, humor, and serious truth bombs.
