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 the wake of the most intense India-Pakistan escalation in two decades, experts are still trying to make sense of the role that the information war played in the physical one. In this episode, Tech Policy Press Associate Editor Ramsha Jahangir speaks to two experts from India and Pakistan who tirelessly navigated the deluge of rumor and disinformation during the crisis, and who came away with thoughts about the role of social media platforms and the incentives they create, particularly in times of conflict:Pratik Sinha, co-founder and editor at Alt News—one of India's major fact-checking websites, and Asad Baig, founder of Media Matters for Democracy—a non-profit focused on media literacy and development in Pakistan.Sinha and Baig reflect on how the India-Pakistan conflict played out across digital platforms—and how it revealed a deeper, more dangerous dysfunction in the information ecosystem.

In their new novels, authors Lori Gold and Austin Kelley draw from personal experiences in the publishing and magazine industries. First, Gold's Romantic Friction follows Sofie Wilde, a popular fantasy romance author and self-proclaimed outcast. At a book event, she finds out about a new author who's billed herself as "the next Sofie Wilde" – and is using AI to write books pulled directly from Sofie's. In today's episode, Gold speaks with Here & Now's Tiziana Dearing about the author's feelings about AI's role in publishing, the rabid fandom of romance readers, and books that go viral. Then, we hear from Kelley about his new novel The Fact Checker, in which a fact checker ends up on a quest for a missing source.

Joe and Alan Duke dive into a thought-provoking discussion about fact-checkers, the manufactured left vs. right conflicts, the implementation of artificial intelligence in journalism, and much more. You don't to miss this one!  

Mike Luckovich — Atlanta Journal-Constitution Donald Trump's embarrassing DOGE assault on every corner of government continues to misfire. The strategy: set a target for cuts in each agency, immediately fire workers with no consideration of their contribution to making government work, backtrack when those cuts blow up. In the words of Elon Musk, "we'll make mistakes will act quick to correct." But the reality is that “all the king's horses, all the king's men, can't put complex programs back together again.” And that means chaos for all Americans and around the world literally tens-of-thousands, many of them children, dying. Anybody want to buy the Department of Justice HQ? FBI HQ? Invent a bird flu vaccine? Put out forest fires In Michigan, we have two national figures looming high in the headlines. Elissa Slotkin has vaulted onto the national stage with a spot-on response to Trump's 99 minutes of self congratulations and grievances. Pete Buttigieg tells Stephen Colbert that he's definitely looking at running for U.S. Senate, possibly setting up an All-Star Democratic primary.   With the beginning of Trump's North American trade war the state's shoppers face ever-higher prices for groceries, the state's farmers brace for massive export reductions, and everything imported, and the auto manufacturers get a 30-day reprieve as they deal with the uncertainty over tariffs. Also on our radar: Dana Nessel launches a podcast with Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes Trump retreats from tariffs, delaying disaster for domestic auto production by 30 days Misdirection: DOGE is a cover for cutting $4.5-trillion in taxes Presidents Musk and Trump are setting the stage to destroy Social Security Great news for the Fact-Checker industry: the lies continue to fly from DJT's mouth, including claims about transgender mice, Gaza condoms, financial support for Ukraine and money for Tracey Abrams Joining the conversation is longtime Lansing insider Jeff Padden, the founder of the non-partisan Lansing think tank Public Policy Associates. Jeff has more than 35 years of experience in the public policy arena, including 10 years as a member of the Michigan House of Representatives, where he chaired the House Corrections Committee.  In addition, he served as deputy director of the Michigan Department of Commerce and director of the Governor's Human Investment Project. He was first elected to the Michigan House after an upset primary victory over the then-chairman of the House Appropriations Committee. Since founding PPA in 1991, Padden has led multiyear, multisite evaluations for clients such as the U.S. Department of Labor, the Ford Foundation, and the James Irvine Foundation.  Jeff has designed and led technical assistance and training programs for public agencies and nonprofits.  At the state and national levels, he has guided clients in the development of new strategies, policies, and initiatives.

The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Fact-checkers were meant to be unbiased truth verifiers, but often they fall short. This raises a critical question: who checks the fact-checkers? Trusting them blindly is like trusting a fox to guard the henhouse. By learning to distinguish facts from opinions and verifying information ourselves, we take control of uncovering the truth in a biased world.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg offered a sharp critique of the fact checkers on his social media platforms last week, saying he will no longer use them because they were too politically biased and undermined public trust. That didn't sit well with Alexios Mantzarlis at Cornell Tech. Mantzarlis is the former founding director of the International Fact-Checking Network, where years ago he helped set up Meta's fact-checking program. On POLITICO Tech, Mantzarlis joins host Steven Overly to offer a rebuttal to Zuckerberg. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week Mike has all-timer David Sedaris back on the podcast. Sedaris, of course, wrote Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, and Holidays on Ice, among other classics. The two discuss where the truth lies in autobiographical non-fiction, fact-checking comedy at The New Yorker, and how to navigate storytelling when it's all too personal. Plus, David plays F**k, Marry, Kill, with his own published works and Mike can't accept the answer. Please consider giving money to a stranger in need.
