In a hilariously unpredictable and mind-expanding episode of SITREP, CannCon and Alpha Warrior go off-script and deep into the rabbit hole. Originally left guest-less, the two veterans turn the show into a spontaneous jam session of Marine Corps memories, conspiracy theory breakdowns, and high-octane speculation. After opening with heart-wrenching 9/11 voicemails and a powerful veteran tribute, the episode shifts into full-send territory with General Steve Kwast's resurfaced claims of tech that can transport anyone across the globe in under an hour. That leads to a deep dive into Michael Kratsios's recent speech hinting at advanced U.S. capabilities, possibly even space-based energy and comms tech. From there, the duo goes full Project Looking Glass, exploring time-travel rumors, DARPA black tech, the infamous “Yellow Cube,” and whether Baron Trump is a literal time-traveling Highlander. Toss in a little Kim Clement prophecy, a Vatican Easter egg, and Trump-Grover Cleveland parallels, and you've got a show that swings from hardcore patriotism to next-level tinfoil, and back again. Also: Alpha's infamous boot camp beer story, why the scribe is always your best friend, and how to survive the Crucible with your dignity (mostly) intact. An unforgettable mix of laughs, leaks, lore, and loyalty.

As we charge past our 300th discussion, it's time for another SITREP. As a community, we have to work harder than ever it seems, to stretch our dollars to make every purchase count, and put ourselves, and our families in the best positions we can. With some of the recent events, and decisions made by our current administration, we could potentially see some much needed relief on the horizon. To provide context, I dive into some of the recent news revolving around the DOGE effort, and yes, I get into my thoughts on what is happening with tariff's and the impact to the world market, and ultimately bring both those ideas back to why it matters for folks like you and I. Additionally, I give a brief recap on some of our more impactful recent discussions, for those of you who may not have checked them out yet.Visit our sponsors!Our Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comOrion Training Group - www.oriontraininggroup.comOne Hundred Concepts - www.onehundredconcepts.com

In this powerhouse episode of SITREP, CannCon and Alpha Warrior are joined by the formidable CPT Robert M. Cornicelli—veteran, advocate, and former aide to General Michael Flynn, for an unflinching look at the real war being waged against America from within. Cornicelli walks through his remarkable military journey, from serving aboard the USS Kitty Hawk to counter-narcoterrorism operations in New York, and later, deep intel work under the Defense Intelligence Agency and General Flynn himself. The trio breaks down psychological warfare at home, the infiltration of American institutions by globalist forces, and the deliberate mistreatment of combat veterans by a system built to fail them. Cornicelli exposes the VA's prescription pipeline, legislative corruption, and why America's enemies don't always wear foreign uniforms. He also outlines new legislation he's fighting to pass that would ensure 100% benefits for combat veterans and safeguard cops from organized agitator attacks through a 25-foot safety perimeter law. From the UN's overreach and NATO's obsolescence to communist subversion and how Trump's defunding of globalist fronts like USAID exposed the real puppetmasters, this episode is raw, revealing, and fiercely patriotic. It's a call to action for those who've fought, and those ready to fight now.

Hosted by CannCon and Alpha Warrior, this episode of SITREP goes deep and wide. The guys kick it off with a passionate monologue honoring military sacrifice before launching into a full-on firearm flex fest, breaking down barrel lengths, pistols, optics, and why your Glock might be more Honda than Bentley. Then it's open lines and open fire on stolen valor as they dissect viral videos of wannabe warriors getting busted. Plus, listener calls bring war stories, music nostalgia, and hot takes on concealed carry options. It's chaos, camaraderie, and Constitutional energy from start to finish.

The world's biggest military powers are all jockeying for position in and around the Arctic, starkly illustrated by Donald Trump's demands for the US to buy Greenland even though it's already NATO territory.Sitrep explains the melting pot of strategic positioning, potential trade routes, and natural resources that are driving shows of military force, including by the UK, in the High North.Arctic expert Professor Caroline Kennedy-Pipe tells us the US can already put as many military bases as it wants in Greenland, but that the race for minerals also really matters for military power. And Professor Michael Clarke reveals the weapon of choice for Canadian troops in the Arctic, to defend themselves from polar bears.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior are joined by Colonel Shawn Smith from Cause of America for a mind-bending deep dive into SignalGate, the shocking leak from a high-level military chat that has the intelligence community scrambling. Shawn unpacks the technical vulnerabilities of Signal, the limitations of secure comms, and why most U.S. officials are dangerously clueless about the tools they're using. From zero-day exploits to compromised hardware and the anatomy of cyber infiltration, this episode doesn't just scratch the surface...it tears it wide open. The conversation ventures into nanotech, tinfoil-worthy weaponization possibilities, and how electromagnetic attacks could neutralize future threats… or civilians.

The head of NATO says nothing can replace the US nuclear umbrella as the ultimate guarantee of our security, and “Europe needs to know Uncle Sam still has our back”But amid doubts about US commitment there is talk creating a comprehensive European nuclear capability without American-owned weapons. Could the UK and France really provide a Europe only deterrent? And if so, should they?Sitrep compares our capabilities with the rest of the world and explains the complex thinking behind history's bluntest and most powerful weapons.Former NATO arms-control director William Alberque tells us why his thinking today is different, and Professor Michael Clarke explains why he has, very reluctantly, changed his view on Britain's nuclear deterrent.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior take on the latest wave of swattings targeting high-profile conservatives and why this isn't just harassment, it's attempted murder. Joined by guest Chad Caton, they break down the tactics being used, the role of law enforcement, and how patriots can protect themselves from these escalating attacks. They also dive into the bigger picture of political warfare, the deep state's desperation, and why staying vigilant is more important than ever. The battle isn't just online...it's in your home.

The head of the Army has spoken of his “anger and shame” after more than a thousand women shared stories of harassment, bullying and much worse while they served their country.Another set of changes have been announced to try to stop unacceptable behaviours, including a tri-service unit to take over the most serious complaints from the chain of command. But is it enough?Sitrep explains the detail of the changes and talks to two veterans, who are also leading advocates for women in the forces.Former Conservative MP Sarah Atherton and Commodore Steve Prest share their own experiences to assess the scale and causes of unacceptable behaviours, and how culture can be changed to prevent bullying, harassment and discrimination.

CannCon and AlphaWarrior are joined by special guest Reeve Swainston for a deep dive into the latest military and geopolitical developments. They break down the Pentagon's internal battles, shifting alliances on the global stage, and how Trump's policies are forcing major changes within the armed forces. With border security at the forefront, they discuss the latest intel on cartel operations, military deployments, and what's really happening at the southern border. Plus, insights into the evolving nature of modern warfare, the role of AI in future conflicts, and why strategic moves today will determine America's strength tomorrow. This episode is packed with high-level analysis, insider perspectives, and a no-nonsense approach to the battlefield ahead.  

Sitrep assesses how the 30-day ceasefire, offered by Ukraine, could work in reality. Would troops just stay in place and dig in, or might they have to pull back from a buffer zone?It is a tactical trade-off by Kyiv which gives it back US military aid and intelligence, and forces Russia onto the diplomatic back foot.Professor Michael Clarke explains which side has most to gain from a pause to rest and re-equip while former head of the Army, General Lord Dannatt, shares lessons from Bosnia suggesting even the most junior soldiers will have to fully understand the terms of any deal.Kate and Mike also talk to former UK National Security Adviser Lord Peter Ricketts to assess the UK's role in getting to this point, and the possibility of British troops being part of any longer-term peace plan.

The highest command in the world's most powerful military alliance has always been held by a top American officer, almost always with a British deputy.But as the Trump administration tells Europe the US will do less, and we've got to do much more for our own defence, should the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) become a European job?Kate Gerbeau talks to General Philip Breedlove, who was SACEUR from 2013-2016, about what the role involves, how much influence it wields, and how much difference the change could make.He also reveals how during Russia's first invasion of Ukraine (2014) he used his other role, as a US commander, to deliver action that had been resisted from within the alliance.

On the latest Situation Report, Rep. Crenshaw analyzes President Trump's first State of the Union address as 47. He covers the latest developments in the Trump's peace negotiations over Ukraine and Europe's acceleration of military spending. And he looks at the latest developments in the U.S. crackdown on illegal immigrants and cartel operations. All the real news and clear analysis you need to know in less than 20 minutes.   Did the cartels just threaten Dan Crenshaw?   Trump's broad, unapologetic display of his agenda at SOTU   Trump's key demands to Ukraine   “Europeans should be able to defend their own continent.”   The rationale behind the Critical Minerals Deal   Zelensky's mea culpa following his disastrous White House visit   Trump demands Europe accelerate its military spending   Drone warfare in Ukraine   Next steps in the budget reconciliation process   Trump's gold card immigration visa   Trump's golden dome – a new missile defense system for America   Gov. Abbott launches a major crackdown on Colony Ridge   Cartel IEDs at the southern border   Microsoft's quantum computing breakthrough

Whatever you think of how President Trump said it to President Zelensky, the fact is Ukraine is not in good position. That was made worse by the freezing of US military aid, and crucial moment-by-moment intelligence.Sitrep explains how that has left Ukraine “blindfolded with one hand tied behind its back” and assesses its options to stay in the fight or even strengthen its position for any talks.Former UK military attaché to Ukraine John Foreman tells us the country's ground capability still remains a key point of leverage, and Sitrep's Simon Newton details how and when the sudden stop to US hardware flows will bite.

March is upon us, the weather is warming up, and we have a new Director of the FBI. With all of this, and even more going on, it's obviously time for another SITREP to bring current events and awesome opinions to all of you. In this iteration, we of course take time to talk about Director Patel being confirmed as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and also as the acting Director of the ATF. Both of these carry significant importance and impact, and we take time to talk about what has led us to this, and what it may mean in the long term for Americans. Additionally, I give insight into the recent visit to the White House by Zelenskyy as he swings through town to beg for money (again) and also some notes on most recent developments on the Israeli front, in their fight with Hamas.

In the 1970's and 1980's the UK typically spent 4-5% of its national income on Defence, but what did that money buy and what did our Armed Forces spend their time doing?Kate Gerbeau and Professor Michael Clarke talk to historian Ian J Sanders, host of the Cold War Conversations podcast, for a history lesson on how we deployed our military capability to protect Europe from a Russian led threat.Times may have changed a lot, countries like Poland and Estonia which were part of the enemy bloc back then are now staunch allies who we help defend, but some things stay the same.So Kate, Mike and Ian assess what lessons we should be taking right now from our victory in the Cold War. [You can see more about the work of British forces in the cold war in our series Real Cold War Spies: BRIXMIS - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeQQkbf45pQM7fhBI5Lv_DvSanxy-bfw0] [You can listen to Ian's podcast Cold War Conversations here - https://coldwarconversations.com/]

We now have a deadline for the UK to spend 2.5% of national income on defence and it's much sooner than anyone expected. But cash doesn't just turn into military might.There are many things you could spend it on. People? Hardware? Training? The real question is what you should spend it on, for the right capabilities at the right times.There are urgent priorities to rapidly improve defence of our own doorstep as the US pulls back, but we still need to plan for long term battle-winning edge.Professor Michael Clarke explains why ‘invisible' capabilities will be favoured over heavy metal, while Matthew Savill from RUSI assesses how hard it will be to deliver the Defence Secretary's priority of “arresting the long-term fall in numbers of service personnel”.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior sit down with Joe Biggs and JD Rivera, two J6ers and veterans who pull no punches about what they endured in the system. Joe recounts the four years he spent in prison, including two in solitary confinement, and the psychological toll it took...not just on him, but on his daughter, who still fears he'll never come back when he leaves the house. He also reveals how the military secretly court-martialed him while he was in prison, stripping him of his benefits without his knowledge. Meanwhile, JD shares his own experience and how his family had to navigate life while he served time for misdemeanors. The conversation turns to CPAC's bizarre decision to ban multiple J6ers from the event, while others, like Biggs, were welcomed with open arms. What's really going on? Plus, with Kash Patel now leading the FBI, what does that mean for real justice? Joe and JD offer unfiltered thoughts on prison reform, FBI corruption, and what's next in the fight for election integrity. Buckle up...this is one you won't forget.

Despite the many uncertainties about a possible peace-deal for Ukraine, Britain's Defence Secretary says the detail is being developed for a European led security guarantee.Former head of the Army General Lord Dannatt warns that while the Prime Minister is ready and willing to commit British troops, the Army is willing but not ready.Sitrep assesses how many people and what equipment it might be required, exactly what the role of such a force could be, how long it might be needed for, and what alternatives there are to international ground troops.Plus Professor Michael Clarke explains how the Sir Keir Starmer will try to persuade President Trump to commit a US backstop that would support Ukraine's security from outside its territory.

CannCon, Alpha Warrior, and Colonel Towner-Watkins break down the absolute beatdown Trump and Musk are delivering to the deep state, with USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy getting their funding cut off at the knees. The regime change slush funds are drying up, and the globalists are panicking as their covert operations get exposed for the world to see. Meanwhile, the mainstream media is desperately trying to spin Trump's foreign policy moves as reckless, but the reality is he's dismantling the same war machine that's been running the world for decades. As the EU suddenly scrambles to boost its military spending, NATO's future is looking shakier than ever. With Trump and Putin expected to meet in Saudi Arabia, questions are swirling about whether we're witnessing the final days of NATO as we know it. The deep state has lost control of the money, the narrative, and now possibly the entire global order. The guys also dive into the history of CIA-backed regime change, how intelligence agencies have used unions and media outlets as cover for covert operations, and why everything happening now has been decades in the making. With geopolitical shake-ups happening in real time, SITREP is here to break it all down.  Thank you for listening to the Badlands Media Podcast.

The Situation Report for February 6 – 12. Rep. Crenshaw breaks down the latest developments in U.S. – Mexico relations. He covers President Trump's most important moves in domestic and foreign policy. He analyzes the blitz of stays issued by federal judges against Trump's executive orders – and whether they have any constitutional merit. And he explains why Elon Musk and Sam Altman's battle over OpenAI could have long term implications for the United States. All the real news and clear analysis you need to know in less than 30 minutes.   The Mexican Senate approves additional U.S. Special Forces to train the Mexican Marines.   It's officially the GULF OF AMERICA!   Trump halts penny production, saving the U.S. hundreds of millions of dollars.   Reviewing the constitutional merit of federal district judges putting stays on Trump's executive orders.   Hamas delays the hostage deal and Trump strikes back.   The Kingdom of Jordan offers to take in Palestinian children.   Turmoil among the tech tycoons: Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and the battle for control over American AI.   Trump and DOGE close the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.   Trump opens negotiations with Putin over Ukraine.

Donald Trump's tried to take Ukraine's future out of its own hands by opening negotiations with Russia, and telling Kyiv that NATO membership and getting all of its land back are hopeless ambitions.So what should Ukraine do now? Could focussing on the fight still improve its negotiating position, or has it reached its high watermark in the war? Professor Michael Clarke and retired General Sir Richard Shirreff assess the battlefield balance of power.America's Defence Secretary says “stark strategic realities prevent the United States from being primarily focused on Europe”. The UK's stepping up as the US steps back, but how much more will we do to lead from the front? And as some of the world's most powerful defence and security figures gather at the Munich Security Conference Sitrep explains why this private talking shop has become a marketplace for some of the world's most consequential decisions.

It's Super Bowl Sunday, and I'm back already, with an impromptu SITREP to discuss some vitally important news around President Trump's most recent Executive Order. Just a couple days ago, on February 7th, 2025, President Trump issued potentially one of his most impactful orders to date, and what you potentially lead to the largest 2A victory since the very inception of the Second Amendment itself. The order, issued directly to the Attorney General, is essentially to launch an exploratory effort to identify all infringements against the right to keep and bear arms for American citizens. While nothing has been done yet, the way this order is written, it shows a very broad scope and seeks to avoid all of the political tactics by those who may seek to oppose this effort. I have a lot to share on this one, so give it a listen, and hear how bright our future may be!Visit our sponsors!Our Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comAmerican Defense Manufacturing - www.admmfg.comOrion Training Group - www.oriontraininggroup.comOne Hundred Concepts - www.onehundredconcepts.com

The Situation Report for January 24 – February 5th. Rep. Crenshaw analyzes the recent tariff battles with Colombia, Mexico, and Canada. He covers the U.S. interest in the Panama Canal and how China became a major player in the region. And he explains everything you need to know about what DOGE exposed at USAID and President Trump's huge announcement about his vision for the future of Gaza and the Middle East. All the real news and clear analysis you need to know in less than 30 minutes.   How the tariff battles with Colombia, Mexico, and Canada played out   Hope on the horizon for Mexico's cooperation in fighting the cartels   Why the Panama Canal matters to us   China's influence over the Panama Canal   DOGE and USAID: The good, bad, and ugly sides of U.S. foreign aid   Trump makes moves to dismantle the Department of Education   The implications of Trump's major announcement about Gaza   The rationale for redeveloping Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East”   The latest on Trump's cabinet nominations   The HALT Fentanyl Act   Recommended reading: The US Looks South

CannCon and Alpha Warrior are joined by special guest Stewart Rhodes, Founder of Oath Keepers, for a no-holds-barred conversation about J6, deep state infiltration, and what happens next. With USAID's dark money network finally exposed, the FBI being forced to hand over its J6 operative list, and Trump's takedown of deep state strongholds in full swing, the system is scrambling to cover its tracks. Rhodes shares his firsthand experience as a J6 political prisoner, detailing the FBI's attempts to manufacture narratives and why the government is terrified of America's veterans organizing at the local level. The conversation takes a deep dive into the latest revelations surrounding Ray Epps, the pipe bomber, and the broader J6 setup, exposing the inconsistencies and outright lies that fueled the official narrative. Rhodes also addresses the Oath Keepers controversy head-on, breaking down what's real, what's fake, and why his organization became a prime target. As Trump moves at lightning speed, dismantling corrupt institutions, the discussion shifts to a critical question: should he call up militias to secure America's border and reestablish the constitutional system of defense? Rhodes lays out a constitutional plan for restoring local militia networks, arguing that organized, well-trained citizens are the deep state's greatest fear. This episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about understanding what's really going on behind the scenes and what it will take to reclaim the Republic.

Keir Starmer wants a post-brexit reset with the EU, and he thinks it should start with “an ambitious partnership” on defence and security. But would it help our Armed Forces when we already have NATO? Former Army officer Ed Arnold explains how both the EU and NATO could give us more bang-for-our-buck, as well as the potential pitfalls. British troops are showing partnership in action in Estonia on NATO's biggest cold weather exercise, Winter Camp. Sitrep hears from some of those taking part and BFBS reporter David Sivills-McCann explains what it's all about. And 25 years since the ban on gay and bisexual people serving in the Armed Forces was lifted, the Defence Secretary who made the change talks in detail for the first time about whether the government was forced to do it, or really believed it was the right thing.

As we roll into February, we have our latest SITREP for you, and no shortage of interesting news and on goings to discuss. From a somewhat humorous Bill being introduced to add Trump to the Mt. Rushmore monument, to the equally laughable idea of granting a third Presidential term, there's a lot to talk about. The big item in this months report though, comes from a very recent interview with Erik Prince, formerly of Blackwater. As the Trump administration has recently declared Mexican Cartel organizations as terrorist groups, there's a interesting opportunity to leverage the centuries old practice of granting letters of marque and reprisal. If pursued by our government, we could soon see PMC firms deploying contractors on American soil to aid in the fight against the Cartels, and securing our border. As usual, I have a lot to say on all of this, share a good bit of both history, and perspective.Visit our sponsors!Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comAmerican Defense Manufacturing - www.admmfg.comOrion Training Group - www.oriontraininggroup.comOne Hundred Concepts - www.onehundredconcepts.com

Hosted by CannCon and Alpha Warrior, this episode of SITREP delivers an explosive breakdown of the latest developments in Washington. Special guest Kyle Seraphin joins the show to discuss the stunning shake-up inside the FBI, where 25 Special Agents in Charge and six high-ranking officials have been forced out. The hosts analyze Kash Patel's Senate confirmation hearing for FBI Director, the left's desperate attempts to discredit him, and the real reason they fear his appointment. Plus, an in-depth look at the DC mid-air collision between a Blackhawk helicopter and an American Airlines jet—was it an accident or something more? Packed with insider insights and expert analysis, this episode is a must-listen.

Donald Trump wants NATO members to spend 5% of their national income on Defence, the UK is years away from meeting half that target. Is 5% a realistic figure, given that we did it back in the cold war, or would that simply be spending money for the sake of it? Mike does some reality checking, and Kate talks to Labour MP Luke Akehurst who says the current UK ambition of 2.5% should “just be the start of the conversation”. One demand from some who want more spent on Defence is better protection from missiles. Claire Sadler explains the options, and how far we can or can't defeat missiles. And after the right-royal row about the renaming of a submarine, from HMS Agincourt to HMS Achilles, we explain who chooses the names of Royal Navy vessels, and how.

In Episode 103 of SITREP, Colonel Towner Watkins, CannCon, and Alpha Warrior dive into the transformative early days of President Trump's second term. They unpack the historic release of classified JFK, RFK, and MLK assassination files, the implications for transparency, and what it reveals about decades of government secrets. The discussion covers Trump's executive orders targeting the Deep State, such as labeling cartels as terrorist organizations and reinstating merit-based hiring in federal agencies. With insights into military strategies and national security, this episode highlights the bold moves reshaping America under Trump's leadership.

Inauguration Day is here, and with it, we hope a sweeping wave of changes for the better to the United States. While politics, regardless of country, can be confusing and frustrating to say the very least, they are the driver behind so many of the key impacts to daily life. As this change holds the potential, as well as the hope for so many of us, I felt it only appropriate to share my thoughts and my feelings on what we may expect to see as the nation transitions from one President to the next. Obviously, with historically low approval ratings for the outgoing Biden administration, there's plenty of room for improvement across multiple fronts. Additionally, with the last minute move of the ceremony to a indoor venue, we have to bring up the safety concerns after a pair of disastrous situations over the summer. I get into all of this, and more, in this edition of the Sunday SITREP.

The year 2025 has arrived, and with it, so too comes our January SITREP discussion. Unfortunately, there is sour news to dig in to, as a terror attack has rocked the heart of New Orleans on Bourbon street. We bring this forward for discussion, as it is a sobering reminder that even though we in the continental United States enjoy a relative amount of safety and security in our day-to-day lives, there is a constant threat that exists amongst us. The more information that we all have, the better prepared we can be, both as individuals and as a community to address these horrific situations. I share as much as I absolutely can on this awful and senseless act of violence, and discuss the importance of having access to a network of intelligence that can support you and your community with gathering relevant data which to act on. Further, I talk about perspective around events like these and what it potentially can point to in the future.Visit our sponsors!Patreon - www.patreon.com/prepared_mindset_podCustom Night Vision - www.customnightvision.comAmerican Defense Manufacturing - www.admmfg.comOrion Training Group - www.oriontraininggroup.comOne Hundred Concepts - www.onehundredconcepts.com
