In this high-impact episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ghost break down President Trump's historic speech in Saudi Arabia, where he called for Syria to join the Abraham Accords and announced the lifting of U.S.,  sanctions signaling a major shift toward sovereignty-based diplomacy. Trump's message? Peace through trade, not war. The hosts also cover Trump's executive order slashing drug prices, igniting backlash from establishment figures like Thom Tillis. RFK Jr. passionately defends the move, exposing how Americans have long subsidized Big Pharma's global profits. Meanwhile, AOC melts down over the potential arrest of lawmakers involved in blocking ICE operations, drawing sharp comparisons to her silence on J6 prisoners. The team calls out the double standards in oversight, justice, and media coverage. From failing air traffic control to cartel-linked assassinations in Mexico, plus a federal judge indicted for helping an illegal immigrant escape, this episode is packed with narrative-crushing analysis. Trump's foreign and domestic moves are unraveling the regime, and the meltdown is real.

Taking a closer look at Trump on Thom Tillis. Getting in trouble on Mothers Day. We want Epstein arrests. Information can be a hazard to your health. A revealing moment as Democrats destroy the country when they are in the majority and Republicans can’t be bothered to do anything about it when they are in the majority.

In this high-impact episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold breaks down President Trump's game-changing speech in Saudi Arabia, calling it one of the most significant geopolitical addresses of his second term. Jon walks listeners through the key takeaways: a $600 billion Saudi investment in the U.S., the lifting of sanctions on Syria, and the bold framing of Iran as both threat and potential partner. He emphasizes the absence of Israel in Trump's Middle East realignment, an intentional and telling omission as Trump praises the region's transformation without Western intervention. Jon also explores Trump's rhetorical pivot away from regime-change policies and his declaration that “nation builders wrecked more nations than they built.” Clips from the speech highlight Trump's call for regional self-governance, an end to permanent enemies, and a “golden age” for both America and the Middle East. Herold connects these themes to long-standing Badlands narratives, including the sovereign alliance, devolution, and the Abraham Accords, hinting that Saudi Arabia may soon join. Beyond the Middle East, Jon dives into domestic policy, including Trump's executive order slashing drug prices, backlash from Thom Tillis and Big Pharma allies, and new subpoenas targeting California's alleged misuse of federal funds for illegal immigrants. He also unpacks Trump's evolving role in crypto, criticisms of his Qatari jet gift, and explosive revelations from Jake Tapper's new book exposing Biden's declining health and internal campaign chaos. With sharp analysis, media callouts, and plenty of sarcastic jabs, Jon weaves together narrative warfare, foreign policy shifts, and political theater in what may be Trump's clearest roadmap to peace, and power, yet.

On Tuesday, Thom Tillis, a Republican senator from North Carolina and a key vote on the Senate Judiciary Committee, announced that he would not support the nomination of one of the most over-the-top Trumpers (I know, that's saying a lot) Ed Martin to be the U.S. attorney for Washington. Tillis told reporters that he had let the White House know that he could not support Martin because as a lawyer in private practice he had defended Jan. 6 rioters. Now, I'm not one to judge a lawyer by their clients or disqualify those who have represented clients I don't like,...Article Link

Of 100 men there is but one warrior. When you vote Democrat, you get exactly what you voted for. The establishment GOP who work to stall the republican agenda. Giving the swamp another scalp. Why does Thom Tillis get the kid gloves from Trump when Massie doesn’t? We need a RINO to go down to whip all the other losers into shape.

It appears Donald Trump's grip on the Senate Republicans is loosening. Trump pushed hard for his nominee for DC US Attorney, Ed "Stop the Steal" Martin. Trump even posted that, "We are going to take our Country BACK and FAST. Ed Martin will be a big player in doing so and, I hope, that the Republican Senators will make a commitment to his approval." Trump's hopes have been dashed, as Sen. Thom Tillis has said he will NOT vote in favor of confirming Martin. Trump is now considering Fox's Jeanine Pirro for the position.If you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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 explosive episode of SITREP, hosts CannCon and Alpha Warrior kick things off fired up and ready to dissect everything from political betrayals to raccoons smoking meth pipes. The duo dives into the viral story of a high school senior fatally shot during a TikTok prank gone wrong, debating the legal and moral complexities surrounding gun ownership, self-defense laws, and police response. The conversation escalates with a heated, nuanced clash over a controversial police shooting video, unpacking the intersection of constitutional rights, training, and tactical judgment. But the real fire comes when they tear into James O'Keefe's latest drop. Alpha and CannCon dismantle the so-called “explosive” footage, exposing it as an emotion-baiting nothingburger designed to undermine Trump allies like Pam Bondi. They argue O'Keefe's claims of Epstein-related revelations lack any legal substance and serve more to stir outrage than to inform. The episode closes with a reminder not to get distracted by manufactured drama while real government subversion, like Thom Tillis torpedoing Ed Martin's appointment, continues in plain sight. This is SITREP unfiltered: a gritty, no-holds-barred conversation on justice, media manipulation, and the fight to preserve truth in a post-truth world.

Celebrated for its scenic beauty and connections to Appalachia culture, the Blue Ridge Parkway stretches 469 miles through Virginia and North Carolina and serves as the longest linear park in the United States. While its footprint is massive, it's impacts are felt on a hyper-local level, with communities uniquely imprinting themselves toward the 16.7 million visitors that pass through the park each year.After years spent gathering support, the Blue Ridge Parkway was granted $127M of the $1.3 million Great American Outdoors Act, which was passed by Congress in 2022. This established the opportunity to complete decades-long deferred maintenance along the Parkway's entire corridor.The combination of these planned projects and the necessary detours, partial, and full road and feature closures in areas now impacted by Hurricane Helene have communities, visitors, and residents concerned about the short and long-term impacts of these necessary projects. On this week's Mind Your Business, we set the context for the economic and community impact of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and provide an update on what comes next in terms of decisions about current repairs and long-term infrastructure upgrades. We'll hear from Jesse Pope, Executive Director of the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Association, one of the Parkway's most visible attractions. We'll also talk with Carolyn Ward, CEO of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, a 501c(3) organization tapped with assisting Parkway staff with funding, marketing, and other support not covered as part of the Federal budget. The BRPF is behind the Blue Ridge Rising action plan, which will help connect Parkway communities and visitors with travel experiences, enhanced cultural attractions, and more. Other organizations like the Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea trail and the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area also provide volunteer, programmatic, and marketing support along the Parkway.Mind Your Business is written and produced weekly by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about the black smoke rising from the Sistine Chapel and the significance of the papal conclave in Rome. He reflects on the power and beauty of the Sistine Chapel, expressing sympathy for tourists now unable to visit due to the conclave. Brett shifts focus to domestic issues, criticizing the Biden administration for expanding federal surveillance to include "concerning behavior" rather than criminal acts. He alleges that symbols like the Betsy Ross flag, Gadsden flag, and even Catholic imagery have been flagged by federal agencies as potential signs of extremism. Highlighting past government actions against the Tea Party, We're joined by The Coach Matt Doherty to talk about leadership and whether America can truly be made great again. Drawing from his coaching experience, Coach Doherty uses sports analogies to frame political division as dysfunction within a team—arguing that when parts of a team pull in different directions, it’s hard to reach full potential. He suggests the left’s relentless opposition to Donald Trump has created a hostile environment, preventing national unity. Bo Thompson from Good Morning BT is also here for this Wednesday's episode of Crossing the Streams.

Tune in here to this ​Wednesday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking with Brett Jensen kicks the show off by discussing immigration enforcement issues and Senator Thom Tillis' criticism of nine North Carolina counties, including Mecklenburg, for not cooperating with ICE. Tillis is pushing new legislation to require sheriffs to notify ICE before releasing undocumented immigrants and potentially penalize non-compliant jurisdictions. Jensen highlights the ongoing conflict between ICE and Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden, noting that while current law mandates a 48-hour hold when ICE issues a detainer, many counties release individuals immediately after that period. Later Brett addresses the confusion over WBT’s new programming. He confirms he’s staying at the station and that starting May 27, his show will air from 6 to 7 p.m., followed by TJ Ritchie from 7 to 9 p.m. and Brett Winterble remaining in his 3 to 6 p.m. slot. Also, Jensen dives into a new Realtor.com report that ranks states by housing affordability relative to household income. Brett reveals that South Carolina tops the list as the most affordable state, earning the only “A” grade, with a median home price of $354,000 and a household income of around $65,000. Surprisingly, North Carolina ranks fifth, earning a B+, with a higher median income of $69,000 and a median listing price of $408,000.

Tune in here to this ​Friday's edition of Breaking With Brett Jensen! Breaking Brett Jensen kicks the show off by discussing the Carolina Panthers’ first-round draft pick and the team’s future. The Panthers selected wide receiver Tetairoa “T-Mac” McMillan from Arizona with the 8th overall pick. McMillan, originally from Hawaii with strong California ties, has known quarterback Bryce Young since high school. Their connection grew stronger after recent offseason training, and Bryce personally advocated for the team to draft him. T-Mac expressed gratitude and excitement, emphasizing his versatility, positive locker room energy, and desire to learn from veteran Adam Thielen. He compared his game to NFL stars like Mike Evans and Keenan Allen and cited Larry Fitzgerald as his all-time favorite. The wideout believes his chemistry with Young will be special and is confident in head coach Dave Canales and the offensive staff. Later, Jensen dived into a political protest held in East Charlotte aimed at U.S. Senator Thom Tillis. Organized by a group claiming to be nonpartisan, the event featured a cardboard cutout of Tillis after he declined to attend their town hall. WBTV covered the story, highlighting citizens’ concerns over federal job cuts and public policy. Finally, Jensen recaps the Carolina Panthers’ reasoning behind selecting a wide receiver with their first-round pick in the NFL Draft. Head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan addressed the media, explaining that despite last season’s historically weak defense, the team prioritized adding an offensive playmaker. They praised McMillan’s size, elite hands, smooth route running, and red zone ability, emphasizing his fit in their scheme and the receiver room’s growing versatility. While acknowledging defensive needs, the Panthers’ leadership said they followed their draft board and believe they can address defense with remaining picks and recent free-agent signings.

He spoke with WUNC about how he plans to take on incumbent Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, the prospects that former Gov. Roy Cooper could enter the race, and what he thinks Democrats should do differently to fight the Trump administration.
