CannCon and Alpha Warrior bring laughs, fire, and brotherhood to SITREP Ep. 134, blending serious talk on AI censorship and government control with hilarious Marine Corps banter in honor of the Corps' 250th birthday. The show opens with a heated debate over whether watermarking AI content violates the First Amendment, complete with a surprise deepfake of Alpha that leaves the chat howling. From there, the hosts celebrate the Marine legacy with war stories, inside jokes about Pendleton and Camp Lejeune, and reflections on faith, freedom, and service. The night takes a thoughtful turn when a veteran caller shares a powerful testimony about healing from mercury toxicity, leading to an unexpected and inspiring discussion on natural health, mental resilience, and redemption. Wrapping up with talk of the 5th of November, nuclear testing, and national readiness, CannCon and Alpha balance humor, patriotism, and hard truth in a way only Badlands Marines can.

Mike and Sian talk to Bernard Cornwell, creator of Napoleonic Wars Rifleman Richard Sharpe and Uhtred, the unforgettable hero of the Last Kingdom series. Bernard tells Sitrep about the 25th Sharpe novel, Sharpe's Storm, his admiration for today's armed forces and why he wouldn't want to write about any modern day conflicts. He also reveals he's writing a new book about Uhtred and lifts the lid on whether his latest book is the final ever Sharpe novel.(This podcast contains some strong language)

The multibillion-pound deal to deliver nuclear powered submarines for the UK and Australia is facing questions just four years into the decades long plan. In the UK there are amber and red warnings for building the boats and propulsion systems, for its part the US is struggling to build enough Virginia class subs, and Australia faces a monumental challenge to be ready for its first nuclear vessels. So will the Royal Navy be asked to do more in the Pacific for longer, while also having to wait for gaps in its submarine capability to be filled? Kate and Mike are joined by former Royal Navy Commander Tom Sharpe and senior defence researcher Sophia Gaston to assess the risks, the potential consequences, and how they could be avoided or at least mitigated.

Three and a half years into Ukraine's fight for survival against Russia, it has offered to freeze the front lines in return for peace talks. But Russia's not biting, so Sitrep explains where those front lines are right now and where the military momentum is pressing hardest, to understand where the war might go next as winter approaches.Ukrainian journalist Roman Pahulych shares insights from his time with troops close to the front lines while John Foreman, former Defence Attaché to Kyiv, explains how new sanctions could still bite at Moscow's military capabilities.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior deliver one of the most powerful episodes of SITREP yet, blending breaking news with raw remembrance and brotherhood. The show opens with their reflections on Lance Corporal Raymond Johnson,  Alpha's fallen Marine brother, and an emotional look at what life, loss, and survival truly mean after combat. The two veterans trade stories from Iraq and Afghanistan, recalling IED patrols, flashbacks, and the lasting impact of war before diving into the bombshell indictment of John Bolton. They break down every page of the charges, exposing his reckless handling of classified intelligence and the potential fallout for Washington's elite. From the hypocrisy of the deep state to speculation about who might flip next, CannCon and Alpha connect the dots like only they can. The episode closes with humor, Navy birthday tributes, and Marine Corps pride, a perfect mix of military grit, dark humor, and unfiltered truth.

The blueprint for the UK's Armed Forces depends on data from every military sensor being available to every person who needs it.Whether the information comes from the battlefield, space, or cyberspace, and whether it's required at the front-line, PJHQ, in a cockpit or deep in the ocean.The Digital Targeting Web is meant to be up and running in the next couple of years, but how will it work and what will it mean for troops at the sharp end?Also on Sitrep what difference could US Tomahawk cruise missiles make to Ukraine, as President Trump hints he might be prepared to supply “the Daddy of missiles”?And as the US Navy celebrates its 250th birthday a Royal Navy veteran, who spent two years on exchange, tells us what makes the American maritime force tick.

Alpha Warrior goes solo with returning guest and Navy Seabee Chad Caton for an explosive conversation about his frontline experience in Portland, where Antifa clashes with patriots and law enforcement looks the other way. Chad recounts rescuing a burning American flag, confronting Antifa violence, and exposing corruption within the Portland Police Department. Together, they break down the real story behind viral footage, President Trump's meeting with independent journalists, and the growing movement of patriots taking action where officials have failed. This episode is raw, emotional, and unapologetically American, reminding listeners what Old Glory truly stands for.

The government has promised thousands of drones will make the armed forces stronger and safer, but is refusing to say how many of them it's ordered over the last year.Professor Michael Clarke analyses the numbers that are available and explains why Ukraine shouldn't be treated as a template for the future, even though drones are here to stay.Sitrep also talks to the new Veterans & Defence People Minister, Louise Sandher-Jones, about how she plans to tackle accommodation and recruitment problems from her own experience of service.And Brigadier Ben Barry tells us about joining the dots of his career for his new book, chronicling the rise and fall of the army over the last 50 years.

After a 37 year career in the Army Brigadier Ben Barry became one of the UK's most respected land warfare researchers and analysts.Now he's drawn together his experiences in and out of uniform to write a new history of the British Army over the last half century.It tells the stories not just of the major operations and battles but also big exercises, and plans which came to nothing.He tells Kate Gerbeau how it helped him join the dots to understand not only the successes and failures of given moments, but to see the whole arc and how that could help the Army rise again to face the next 50 years.

Unfortunately, as the time has gone on over the past few years, it seems the world around us has only gotten more violent. While we at one point all wanted to believe it was a question, a discussion of right versus left, this religion versus that religion, it's becoming more and more obviously that the lines that are being drawn, aren't as clear and convenient as we would like them to be. In this iteration of the SITREP I talk about a handful of recent events, attacks on houses of worship that are a powerful illustration of the danger we all face as a culture. Additionally, I share my thoughts and some feelings and insight on how we got here. What led us to this point, and more importantly, how can we walk this back? What does the process of healing look like, and how can escape from what has started to feel like inevitable and consistent chaos in our day to day lives.Visit our sponsors!Our Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comHerrington Arms - www.herringtonarms.comRMA Armor - www.rmadefense.com 'PreparedMindset5' to save!

CannCon and Alpha Warrior break down Pete Hegseth's fiery address at the Pentagon and President Trump's uncompromising call to restore America's military. From tearing out DEI and climate cult nonsense to reinstating hard PT tests, real boot camp ass-whoopings, and merit-based promotions, this episode digs into what a true warfighting force should look like. The hosts debate modern combat, proxy wars, guerrilla threats, and the Deep State's manipulation of global conflicts, all while swapping raw stories from their own service. With humor, blunt honesty, and no patience for fat generals or weak standards, CannCon and Alpha deliver a veteran's perspective on rebuilding a lethal, disciplined, and unapologetically American military.

As well as condemning “fat” generals and “woke” policies US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has told America's top officers they must end a ‘poisonous culture of risk aversion'.Sitrep separates the warfighting logic from the culture-war politics and assesses whether UK defence could benefit from being prepared to take greater risks.We also examine the cost of silence for special forces, and explain how their bond of secrecy could stand in the way of getting mental health help.And as the largest collection of Victoria Crosses is taken off display, to make way for other museum exhibits, retired Major General Tim Cross and historian Lucy Betteridge-Dyson discuss how best preserve the stories of gallantry behind these medals.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior react to breaking news of James Comey's indictment for lying to Congress and obstruction, exploring whether the charges are just the first step toward flipping him into a cooperating witness. They dig into Q post deltas, Dan Scavino signals, and how this moment might trigger a cascade against Brennan, Clapper, and the rest of the Deep State. The hosts connect the dots between Comey's 8647 message, FISA abuse, and the legal framework of seditious conspiracy, treason, and RICO. With Josh joining midstream, the conversation widens into the Pentagon's order summoning hundreds of generals to Quantico, the threat of nuclear subs off Venezuela, and the possibility of traps, coups, and continuity-of-government scenarios. They also revisit the Charlie Kirk assassination, weighing ballistics, body armor, and “exploding mic” theories with fresh evidence. This episode captures the intensity of a week where indictments, military moves, and psyops collide...and the storm feels closer than ever.

The Foreign Secretary says we will “confront” Russian planes after repeated invasions of NATO airspace. Donald Trump says they should be shot down.Sitrep talks to former RAF pilot Air Marshal Greg Bagwell about how intercepts are carried out, the options for pilots, and the risks involved.Kate and Mike also talk to Keir Giles, who advises governments on Moscow's military mindset, about what it hoped to achieve with drones over Poland, and fighter jets in Estonian airspace.And after President Trump's big U-turn any hope of Ukraine peace talks appears to be over, so Mike explains what both sides are planning for the next phase of the war.

The Situation Report for September 19, 2025. Rep. Crenshaw shares his thoughts on Charlie Kirk and the divisive, partisan reaction to his assassination. He analyzes what we know about the TikTok deal that could finally remove China's control over America's most popular social media app. And he covers the promising results of President Trump's historic second visit to the UK, the surprising reason Ilhan Omar's censure vote failed, and much more.   Some thoughts on Charlie Kirk and the future of Turning Point   Optimism on the Trump Administration's TikTok deal   Venezuelan narco boats get the “steel on target” treatment   President Trump goes to Windsor Castle   Media Bias Alert: MSNBC whitewashes the Charlie Kirk assassination   Israel launches major offensive on Gaza   The charges against Luigi Mangioni   Fed cuts interest rates   So long, Kimmell   US House fails to censure Ilhan Omar   The latest effort by Sec.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior open this episode of SITREP on a somber note, paying tribute to Boone Cutler—a warrior, mentor, and friend whose sudden passing leaves a deep void in the movement. Joined by guest Zeb Boykin, a Marine scout sniper, the hosts dive into a detailed analysis of the Charlie Kirk assassination, exploring ballistics, video evidence, and conflicting narratives. Zeb brings his technical expertise to assess shot trajectories, timing discrepancies, and whether the alleged shooter could realistically have carried out the attack. Together, the trio debates body armor theories, FBI inconsistencies, and the strange gaps in official reporting, raising new questions about what really happened in Orem, Utah. Blending heartfelt remembrance with hard-nosed investigation, the episode balances grief, camaraderie, and relentless pursuit of the truth.

RAF Typhoons join an air defence operation following Russian incursions into Polish and Romanian airspace. They'll work with allied forces, including France, and Germany, helping to defend the eastern flank as part of Nato's Eastern Sentry. Sitrep digs deep with Forces News reporter Simon Newton.Also President Trump's state visit to the UK is breaking military ceremonial records. Sitrep talks to General Sir Nick Parker, former deputy commander of ISAF, about how intertwined UK forces are with US ones.And as world events are brought directly to our mobile devices Sitrep speaks to the author of a book looking at how the military must adapt to fighting wars with the smartphone.Kate Gerbeau presents, with expert analysis from Dr Karin von Hippel.

Episode Note: This week's SITREP was recorded a few hours before the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. At the end of the episode, we've included the initial thoughts Rep. Crenshaw shared in a video posted on social media after news broke of the assassination.   The Situation Report for September 11, 2025. Rep. Crenshaw covers Poland's historic attack on Russian drones, President Trump's latest bold policy moves in the wars against cartels and violent crime, and more major developing headlines across America and the world.   Russian drones downed over Poland   Operation Midway Blitz – President Trump's latest crackdown on violent crime and illegal immigration   Cartels, meet the F-35   Israel strikes Hamas leaders in Qatar   Chaos in Nepal   Bias Alert: The media's pathological compassion toward violent criminals   Power struggle at News Corp.   House of Cards – French Edition   The Supreme Court takes on President Trump's tariff policy   Troubling trends in education   Cracker Barrel admits their rebrand was a bad idea   Never forget the heroes of 9-11-2001   Prayers for Charlie Kirk and his family

The new Chief of Defence Staff has told defence industry they need to “step up” and do more to make Britain's Armed Forces ready for warfighting.Sitrep is at one of the world's largest defence equipment exhibitions to see the latest military technology, and assess the role of defence firms in deterring or winning a war.Ministers want help ending “stupid rules”, top brass want kit quicker, and shareholders want their returns. Can they all be delivered as one?Retired Major General Neil Sexton and Thales Chief Technology officer Mike Sewart join Kate and Mike to explain what changes have already happened, and what's still needed.

Unfortunately, I'm releasing this SITREP out of cadence, but in light of these events it's something that is needed. Charlie Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Point USA and a major political voice in our country, has been assassinated. During his stop at Utah Valley University to kick off a public speaking tour, he was shot. This comes as a major blow to many, and serves at least as a shocking reminder of how far our society has fallen in these turbulent times. As always, I share my thoughts, my feelings, and do my best to speak on why this is so impactful, regardless of if you agreed with Charlie and his opinions or disagreed.Visit our sponsors!Our Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comHerrington Arms - www.herringtonarms.com

CannCon and Alpha Warrior fire up another episode of The SITREP, blending personal stories, military humor, and sharp geopolitical analysis. They start light with sponsor shoutouts, Soft Disclosure jokes, and a deep dive into strange dreams, lucid dreaming, and the unsettling experience of sleep paralysis. The conversation shifts into heavier ground with the heartbreaking case of Dexter Taylor, a New Yorker sentenced to ten years for building legal firearms at home, sparking debate on the Second Amendment, veterans' rights, and Trump's trial balloon about restricting gun ownership for transgender individuals. From there, they move to Trump's bold kinetic strike against a Venezuelan narco-boat, unpacking the intelligence behind the operation, the message it sends to cartels, and the wider implications for U.S. sovereignty and asymmetric warfare. With plenty of military banter, videos, and humor along the way, this episode balances raw emotion, cultural commentary, and hard-hitting analysis in classic SITREP fashion.

The Situation Report for September 4, 2025. Rep. Crenshaw returns from August recess to cover major developments in the war against the cartels, the redistricting battle that is transforming the battleground makeup for the 2026 midterms, and President Trump's sweeping crackdown on crime in our nation's capitol. All this and much more in just 16 minutes.   The Minneapolis school shooting - Democrats once again exploit a tragedy for political gain   Mid-decade redistricting – Republicans start to even the score against wide-spread Democrat gerrymandering   Plea deals and precision strikes - A very bad month for the cartels   The legal precedent for President Trump's crackdown on DC crime   Good news for American energy dominance   “Rocket City” - Why Huntsville, Alabama is the perfect spot for U.S. Space Command   MEDIA BIAS ALERT: The legacy media is ignoring paid leftist influencer campaigns   If You Read Nothing Else:  "The U.S. Is Not Prepared for a Drone Strike"

China's released 80,000 doves at the end of its 80th anniversary victory day parade, but the messaging of military might was far louder than appeals for peace.Professor Michael Clarke and defence analyst Dr James Bosbotinis explain what new hardware Beijing chose to show off, what the hypersonic missiles and uncrewed jets mean for its military capability, and the significance of who was (and who wasn't) in the VIP seats.The Northern Ireland Secretary says Britain and Ireland are “close” to agreeing a new plan for the legacy of the troubles. But what will it mean for veterans of Northern Ireland?And what was once called the final-frontier is now expected to be the first-frontline for future wars. Sitrep explains the rapid weaponisation of space.

Oslo is spending £10bn to equip itself with five Type 26 frigates – a big vote of confidence in these submarine hunters already being built for the Royal Navy.But it will also mean the already-stretched timeline to deliver the Navy's eight new frigates becomes even longer.Former Director of Navy Acquisition, Commodore Steve Prest, explains what cutting edge capabilities of the Type 26 that persuaded Norway to buy British, how the delays might impact Britain's maritime capability, and why despite that he thinks it's still good news for the Royal Navy.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior open this episode with laughs, cold plunges, and sponsor shout-outs before diving into the buzz around Brad Zerbo's Codex 9/11 documentary and the suspicious timing of mainstream outlets like CBS and Tucker Carlson jumping into 9/11 coverage. They call out weak “debunks” of the film and stress the need for accountability when challenging Badlands research. From there, the conversation shifts to deeper questions about intelligence agencies, false flags, and the manipulation of vulnerable individuals through AI-driven recruitment, echoing modern-day MK Ultra tactics. The hosts also wrestle with solutions to America's school shooting crisis, debating armed veterans, teacher gun safes, and innovative security systems designed by law enforcement vets. With sharp takes, humor, and personal stories, including Disney tunnel secrets and Club 33 rumors, this episode balances heavy geopolitical analysis with unfiltered banter that makes The SITREP a Badlands favorite.

Sitrep analyses open-source intelligence which shows an uptick in secretive surveillance flights, by the UK, US and Russia, in the High North and over the Baltic. Defence Analyst and former infantry officer Ed Arnold explains the possibilities behind the activity, and we hear first hand from NATO's Arctic Ocean patrols. Could peat-bogs be used as tank-traps to help protect Eastern Europe from Russian invasion? We hear from Estonia where they're looking at potential spin-off benefits from their plan to tackle climate change. And BBC weather forecaster Simon King draws on his RAF experience to explain the science of weather manipulation, and whether militaries could ever hope to use it to their advantage.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior welcome Lt. General Steve Kwast to SITREP for a powerful conversation on faith, service, and the future of warfare. General Kwast shares his journey from dreaming of flight as a child in Africa to becoming the first pilot straight out of training assigned to the F-15E Strike Eagle. He recounts combat missions in Desert Storm and Afghanistan, the lessons learned in Top Gun training, and the critical role of air power in saving lives on the ground. The discussion dives into situational awareness, the moral burden of combat, and how God-given confidence shapes leadership. Moving into today's battles, Kwast explains the nature of information warfare, the threats of AI and infiltration, and why America's strength lies in its innovation and faith. He emphasizes that the art of war should be about deterrence and peace, not glorification of violence, and that teaching children God's ways is essential to preserving freedom. A candid, wide-ranging interview that connects the heart of a warrior to the challenges of America's future.

Sitrep digs deep into the implications for the British military of a potential ceasefire in Ukraine. The Defence Secretary has laid out Britain's preparedness to put boots on the ground and provide reassurance at sea and in the air. So this time on Sitrep – how does Britain plan for that moment, and what's its part in guaranteeing Ukraine's future security? We hear from former Chief of the Defence Staff Field Marshal Lord Richards and Former Army intelligence officer and military planner, Philip Ingram. And ‘battlefield robotics' – what's already out there giving soldiers an edge? And what are the dangers? Dr Simona Soare, Professor in Strategy and Technology at Lancaster University, joins the show. Kate Gerbeau presents, with expert analysis from Professor Michael Clarke.

80 years ago General Bill Slim accepted the surrender of Japan, marking the end of World War Two, after leading the 14th Army to victory in Burma.He is regarded by many as Britain's greatest general, but how did he achieve what others believed to be impossible?A veteran tells Sitrep what made the Burma campaign so hard and why General Slim was so well regarded, while Viscount Mark Slim gives us a rare tour of the artefacts which reveal his grandfather's place in history.Military historians Dr Robert Lyman and Phil Craig join Professor Michael Clarke and Kate Gerbeau to explain how Slim's prioritisation of his troops' wellbeing and focus on his enemy's weak points made a winning formula which still underpins British military doctrine.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior bring the heat in Episode 125 of The SITREP, tackling the latest battles over the Second Amendment, media manipulation, and America's southern border crisis. They break down the political and legal fallout from new state-level gun restrictions, pointing out the constitutional challenges and grassroots pushback already in motion. The conversation shifts to the media's selective coverage of major events, exposing how narratives are shaped to protect political allies and vilify opponents. The hosts also dig into the ongoing chaos at the U.S.-Mexico border, discussing cartel activity, migrant surges, and the federal government's unwillingness to enforce immigration laws. With their trademark bluntness and humor, CannCon and Alpha connect these issues to the broader fight for individual rights, national sovereignty, and truth in journalism. The episode mixes fiery debate, sharp analysis, and a call for listeners to stay informed and engaged in the fight for America's future.

August is here, and we're two-thirds of the way through the year. For this iteration of the SITREP, rather than stepping into political news, or global developments, I have a update on our own training here in Michigan to share with you. Pulling together a diverse group from across our state, with backgrounds in Military, Law Enforcement, and obviously trained Civilians, we are fresh off our first "CQB Workshop" training session. This was a targeted exercise put together and planned to "pressure test" and validate the practices and procedures that we use in our own training, and find the gaps, and as a group, get better. In this episode I share a behind the scenes on the planning work, but also the rationale behind building the event so hopefully, you all can do the same.

In Episode 124 of The SITREP, CannCon and Alpha Warrior dissect the latest headlines with sharp, on-the-ground analysis. They kick off with questions surrounding the alleged Russian missile strike on a Ukrainian nuclear facility, examining media inconsistencies and suspiciously timed narratives. The hosts then break down growing distrust in the FBI, sparked by news coverage focused on the Bureau's declining public image rather than its institutional failures. They also cover Trump's strong stance on tariffs against Mexico and India, and how these economic moves tie into larger strategic goals. With additional discussion around White House optics, Biden's appearance in Delaware, and media misdirection, CannCon and Alpha connect the dots to reveal what's being hidden behind the headlines.

In Episode 123 of The SITREP, CannCon and Alpha Warrior connect the dots on a rapidly unraveling narrative, starting with the Clinton email declass appendix and explosive CrowdStrike revelations. They break down how new information ties CrowdStrike to both the DNC hack and the Russiagate operation, casting further doubt on the official story. The hosts discuss Trump's Truth Social post calling out Obama as the ringleader of the Russia hoax and examine why the media is largely ignoring it. Alpha zeroes in on the “truth tellers” who still refuse to acknowledge 11.3 and 11.4, and the possibility that ongoing disinformation campaigns are meant to obscure the real endgame. They also cover the weaponization of AI, border chaos, the military's strange silence, and the constitutional crisis brewing under the surface. With a mix of legal insight, military perspective, and narrative deconstruction, CannCon and Alpha lay out a compelling case that the fight isn't coming, it's already here. This episode is a tactical briefing for those navigating the fog of war in real time.

The Situation Report for July 24, 2025. Rep. Crenshaw covers the biggest story of the week: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's criminal referral to the Department of Justice over the Intelligence Community's “Russia collusion” claims from 2017 – laying out what Director Gabbard found and what happens next. He also covers new trade deals, defunding gender transition procedures, a disturbing report on America's organ transplant system, and much more.   President Trump seals new trade deals with key Indo-Pacific allies   Hospitals lose federal funding for gender transition procedures on minors   DNI Tulsi Gabbard makes a criminal referral over the Russia collusion scandal   An investigation into the organ transplant system reveals disturbing practices   YouTube deletes thousands of propaganda accounts tied to China and Russia   Get well soon, President Trump   Classic Coca-Cola is coming to a shelf near you   Read of the week: “The U.S. Is Not Prepared for a Drone Attack”

In this episode of SITREP, CannCon and Alpha Warrior are joined by special guest Reeve Swainston for a raw, detailed discussion on the collapse of American institutions and the global stage being set for high-stakes accountability. Reeve unpacks his own background and recent suspensions from Twitter for posting FOIA-verified evidence, highlighting how the regime suppresses truth while enabling war criminals and open-border chaos. The conversation exposes how U.S. taxpayer dollars are flowing to illegal immigrants, how mass migration is being used as a psychological weapon, and how both federal agencies and local governments are complicit. The trio also covers war crimes in Gaza, Ukraine, and Yemen, tying together human trafficking, medical corruption, and globalist goals for depopulation and control. With sharp insight and mounting evidence, the hosts argue we're witnessing a coordinated takedown of sovereign nations through lawfare, demoralization, and deception. But they also point to signs of awakening, within the public and the system itself. This episode is a wake-up call packed with receipts, exposing the real enemy and the lengths they'll go to in order to maintain the illusion.

The Situation Report for July 17, 2025. President Trump brings the hammer down on Putin. Major developments in the race to make America the world's AI capitol AND self-sufficient on the critical minerals front. A radical protest movement brewing in Mexico to expel American nationals.

This special Thursday edition of OnlyLands is a whirlwind of rants, nostalgia, and wild tangents. The hosts kick off by roasting SitRep's no-show and joking about XRP shilling before launching into a spontaneous promo for the Great American Restoration Tour in Deadwood. From there, it's an anything-goes marathon covering everything from the Mandela Effect, like the group's collective memory of Stouffer's Stove Top Stuffing that apparently never existed, to theories about AI's uncanny ability to rewire reality. The panel swaps hilarious horror stories about dead bodies, foot phobias, and bizarre funeral mishaps, then pivots to darker territory, questioning whether government psyops and state capture are so deeply entrenched that true transparency is impossible. Other highlights include a spirited debate about the Kennedy dynasty, the potential downfall of AI like Grok, Tom Hanks' curious movie choices, and the pervasive idol worship of politicians. With irreverent humor, skeptical deep-dives, and plenty of sidebars, this episode is equal parts stand-up therapy session and a sharp critique of a culture obsessed with TV characters and feel-good narratives.

In this fiery episode of SITREP, CannCon and Alpha Warrior dig into the shocking life sentence handed down to Edward Kelly, a decorated Marine convicted not for actions, but for words and plans he never carried out. They break down the DOJ's decision to treat Kelly's angry rants as terrorism, debating whether this unprecedented punishment crosses the line from justice into political persecution. The hosts share raw personal reflections on January 6th prosecutions, the two-tiered system shielding corrupt officials, and how the FBI's tactics have destroyed lives without consequence. The conversation winds through the failures of Trump's DOJ, the slow response from current leadership, and why many Americans feel abandoned. Despite the heavy topic, CannCon and Alpha lighten the mood with banter about Training Day references, the perils of barbecuing brisket, and the absurdity of modern cancel culture. Packed with unfiltered opinions, dark humor, and deep frustration over government overreach, this episode captures the defiance and exasperation of those still demanding accountability.

The Situation Report for June 27, 2025. Rep. Crenshaw explains why several key provisions of President Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill are in jeopardy because of one rogue Senate Parliamentarian.
