Badlands Media

CannCon and Alpha Warrior dig deep into a genuinely stunning federal case against the Southern Poverty Law Center, walking through allegations of a secretive internal unit literally named after the CIA that ran informants, funneled donor money to people inside hate groups, and even broke into a target's headquarters to copy documents before sneaking them back. They connect the dots to a broader RI...

Todd Blanche steps up as the 88th Attorney General and gives the kind of speech that's part victory lap, part love letter to the DOJ, tracing his own path from a college intern in the building all the way to the top job. He walks the room through his career, from paralegal to prosecutor to Deputy AG, before laying out a promise to lead with integrity, back federal law enforcement without apology,...

Jon Herold and Burning Bright open with sponsor banter (yes, there's now a joke Chinese knockoff Badlands promo code in play) before diving into a fresh John Solomon clip and a batch of newly declassified files. The throughline for the night is clear: the intelligence community, not any one political figure, is squarely in the crosshairs of these disclosures. Herold breaks out one of his all time...

Bigfoot week continues. Shipwreck welcomes Adrian from Rise Attire, who traded streetwear design for building Sasquatch Nations, an original video game rooted in real cryptid encounter stories. They swap theories on whether Sasquatch, the Giant of Kandahar, and dogman are all separate species or branches of the same mystery, dig into the Sasquatch Genome Project's unexplained DNA results, and prev...

Chris Ponder and G Money join Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Steven L. Kwast to push the "tools for truth" framework into new territory, tying it directly to Bitcoin. G Money makes the case that Bitcoin isn't just a monetary system but a thermodynamically grounded protocol that makes lying nearly impossible once information is written to the chain, while Chris riffs on constellations, constitutions, and why some...

Jon Herold digs deep into newly declassified documents revealing that the FBI's "Round river" operation buried corruption reporting from 14 confidential human sources on Joe Biden while formally labeling officials like Bill Barr and Mike Pompeo as Russian disinformation conduits. He ties this fresh evidence back to Hunter Biden's laptop emails and the Blue Star Strategies contract timeline to argu...

Eleven defendants, over a thousand sham marriages, and tens of millions of dollars, DOJ pulls back the curtain on what officials call one of the largest marriage fraud prosecutions in U.S. history. The Attorney General walks through a decade long scheme pairing Chinese nationals with paid American citizens in fake weddings, complete with staged photos, prenups, and a whole cottage industry of recr...

CannCon and Ashe bring on voting systems expert Clay Parikh for an urgent breakdown of a wild overnight development in Wisconsin, where five out of nine election USB drives reportedly downloaded audit logs instead of actual vote totals, delaying results and prompting officials to call it simple human error. Clay walks through the technical documentation and explains why that explanation does not h...

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid come in energized this week, breaking down why a national emergency around election integrity looks more likely by the day and what that could mean heading into the midterms. They dig into Todd Blanche officially stepping into the Attorney General role, why that confirmation unlocks new subpoena power, and how new investigations into California and Minnesota ballot acti...

CannCon and Ashe in America bill this one as the second Bad Mood Hour, and fair warning, you may leave a little triggered. This time the focus shifts away from machines and mail-in ballots to the thing nobody talks about enough: voter registration itself. Their guest is Kim Brooks of theGANerds, back after a couple of years and armed with receipts. She lays out what she calls Georgia's DART databa...

Jon Herold digs deep into Andrew McCabe's own memoir to fill in the timeline on how Sessions told him he'd be acting FBI director just a day before McCabe's team opened its investigation into Sessions, then pairs that with old Trump tweets questioning Sessions' recusal to build out his running theory on the weaponized intelligence community. He also breaks down newly released Fauci text messages s...

CannCon runs solo again for the midweek show and opens with a look at big pharma donations flowing to senators who were not even up for reelection at the time, before playing an RFK Jr clip on the search for an environmental trigger behind rising childhood chronic illness. The centerpiece of the show is a deep dive back into Pfizer's own pregnancy and lactation safety data, walked through with the...

Jon Herold and Zak Paine open with a genuinely wild New York Times report about President Trump getting smuggled out of Turkey in a catering cart after the NATO summit, and the guys pick apart why a story like that ever got leaked in the first place, let alone confirmed. From there, things go full science fiction as Zak walks through the claims of a credentialed CERN insider who says the Large Had...

Ashe in America flies solo this week (CannCon is out with a bad back) but keeps the momentum going from last episode's deep dive into the Democracy Communications Collaborative's election playbook. He picks up right where they left off, working through how the electorate gets sorted into eight distinct "audience wedges" and what messaging is designed to move each group toward a very specific idea...

Matthew Ehret picked a provocative episode title on purpose, and then spends the hour arguing against the very narrative it seems to promise. Joined by researcher Mike King, contributor to Ehret's book Black Sun Rising, the two dig into why the popular "evil Jews run everything" trope is, in their view, itself a limited hangout, a partial truth used to steer people away from older, deeper power st...

Michelle of Tamarac Garden joins Ashe, Christy, and Jackie for a back to school episode that is equal parts practical and playful. Before getting into the good stuff, the ladies debate whether stale Peeps are a delicacy or a crime, trade stories about husbands who turn into dramatic patients the moment they get hurt, and share a genuinely useful phone trick for stopping notifications from ruining...

Jon Herold kicks off Monday digging into newly declassified documents showing the FBI opened an investigation into Jeff Sessions, codenamed "March Toll," the day after James Comey was fired, arguing the timing exposes a deliberate effort to prolong the Russia collusion narrative. He tracks down old McCabe congressional testimony while building out his own timeline connecting the Sessions probe to...

CannCon and Zak Paine open with a follow up on the Air Force One missile capability story, connecting it to a possible canary trap and predicting some accountability is coming for whoever leaked it. From there they play a clip of President Trump weighing in on John Thune's future as Senate Majority Leader before turning their frustration toward the Senate voting to leave for a 40 day recess withou...

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid are back after a weekend of cursed tech, fried computers, and a power outage that hit mid sentence while Josh broke down a Minnesota cyber incident. Over the target, maybe. The main event is the timing they say they called: Todd Blanche confirmed as Attorney General on the very same day General Flynn posts "the storm has arrived," followed hours later by Trump. The guys...

Burning Bright welcomes back his favorite geopolitical sparring partner, Ghost, for a session he warmly promises will "waterboard you informationally and narratively." Consider yourself warned, and comfortable. The theme tonight is the final boss. Who exactly is the Sovereign Alliance fighting, and why do so many in the truth community keep rubber-banding back to their old Fox News framing the mom...

Jonathan Drake closes out chapter two of Spooner's Science of Justice, wrapping sections six through eight in one sitting. He builds the case that if justice is natural, it has to be immutable and universal, the same standard for everyone, everywhere, whether we are talking about ancient Rome or your neighborhood today. Expect a memorable analogy about contractors using different measuring systems...

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open by dissecting a pair of Trump social posts, one clearly joking about a 2028 run, one that reads a lot more serious, and have some fun picking apart what happens when a "just kidding" post gets followed by one that isn't. There's also a JD Vance endorsement clip that gets the full comedic breakdown treatment before things turn more substantive. The middle stretch cove...

Cam Cooksey opens episode 62 unsure what day it is (Jackie's out of town, so of course), then settles into a calm, big-picture read of the week's Truth Social posts. A rainstorm, a flying door, and a briefly missing cat provide the comic relief midway through. The through line is war and peace. Cam unpacks Trump's "Trump 2028, just kidding" post, an AI photo of Trump with Patton and MacArthur, and...

The crew opens with a heavy one, the Lindsay Clancy case and the murky territory of postpartum psychosis, before pivoting into a genuinely raw conversation about feeling burned by Dan Bongino after years of promised Epstein accountability that never materialized. From there it's straight into a spicy, on the record moment where hosts declare they want APAC and any foreign flag influence out of Ame...

Host Matt Trump powers through a technically cursed evening (broken mic cord, dead camera, "wading through mud" all week) to deliver part three of his summer abroad walking tour as the self-styled Rick Steves of Badlands. After a detour on reactivating a decade-old Facebook account and how he tries to explain his politics to liberal friends, he crosses the Thames to the Tower of London and its Nor...
