Badlands Media

CannCon and Ashe open with a run of immigration stories, from a fiery ICE protest in Manhattan to a viral grandmother arrest story that looks far less sympathetic once the full record comes out, plus a controversial farm worker amnesty bill splitting the GOP. From there they dig into New York's mayor tangled up in an awkward Iran and Israel mixup while trying to leverage an international court aga...

Jon Herold fights through a frustrating stream glitch (audio fine, no video on Rumble) while covering a lighter Tuesday news day dominated by Iran war fallout. He digs into reporting that intelligence community leaks are undermining Trump's negotiating position, a Politico piece describing the conflict as a "quagmire" ahead of the midterms, and a personal anecdote about a normie conservative broth...

Jon Herold and Zak Paine hand the mic over to the listeners for a proper call in show, and the results are exactly as unpredictable as you'd hope. Callers phone in with everything from unexplainable personal experiences to full blown theories they've been sitting on for weeks, and Jon and Zak do their best to referee, question, and occasionally roast the submissions in real time. One caller opens...

Ghost welcomes War Hamster Brady back to the Badlands for a deep dive into a name most people have never heard but probably should: Yevgeny Primakov. Political mentor to both Putin and Lavrov, Primakov drafted a doctrine in the 1990s that Brady argues is basically the blueprint for everything unfolding on the world stage right now. The two trace it all back to the fall of the Soviet Union, that fa...

Matthew Ehret closes out his five week Occult Tesla series with the big finale: Tesla versus Einstein, and it is not the underdog story you were told in school. Using Tesla's own poem mocking Einstein as "a long haired crank," Ehret unpacks why Tesla clung to a flat, Newtonian universe while Planck, Einstein, and Riemann were busy proving space itself curves. From there the show pulls back the cur...

Ashe, Christy, and Jackie roll in running on almost no sleep and a lot of caffeine, but they still bring the goods. After a quick sponsor run and a brisket cook video that will make you hungry before lunch, the ladies log into the mainframe for a genuinely useful iPhone trick worth stealing. Then things get weird in the best way. Fresh off a record breaking Badlander meetup, Ashe recaps a deep div...

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid open with a debrief from the Denver airport meetup, then dive into the mechanics of who actually controls America's communications. Cue a General Flynn clip on the FCC, ham radio, and the government's standing plan to take over telecom networks in a national emergency, which the guys connect to Trump meeting the FCC chief and their long running case that an election int...

The X Chromes have once again left the Y Chromes unsupervised, and CannCon fills in for a no-show to join the crew for a session that opens with a genuinely unhinged detour into frat-house medical trivia before anyone finds their footing. CannCon then shares the tragic saga of his $230 sneakers, popped on a gravel shortcut to the movies, which spirals into a running bit about whether federal agenc...

Jon Herold opens a quiet Monday by connecting the newly declassified China election documents to older intelligence community history, walking through 2016 era presidential daily briefings on Russia to argue the same pattern of suppression and fabrication runs through every major hoax of the Trump era. He digs into a batch of Trump Truth Social posts, including a firm defense of Netanyahu against...

CannCon and Zak Paine open with the Monday morning after President Trump's election speech, sifting through weekend meltdowns from DC insiders and giving credit where due to Senator Mark Warner for handing them a stack of instantly fact checked soundbites. From there they dig deep into a wild Michigan case involving a voter registration company caught fabricating thousands of applications for gift...

Burning Bright brings on Matt Ehret for a deep dive into a topic he admits he is still untangling himself, the City of London and its recurring role in narratives circulating across the truth community. The two work through last week's Trump address on election fraud and the Department of Justice's fresh disclosures, then pivot into where the real threads of interference may lead, from Anglo Venet...

Jonathan Drake picks up right where the outrage over Justice Joseph Story left off, then zooms out to a bigger question: is justice actually real, or just a comforting story we tell ourselves? Using Spooner's chapter two "if then" logic (plus a detour through gravity, unicorns, C.S. Lewis, and the Godhead), Jon makes the case that justice is as natural as light or tides, not something invented by...

Is the economy good or bad? Dr. Peter C. Earle, PhD economist and senior director of research at the American Institute for Economic Research, has a better question: good for whom? In this episode, Jon Herold sits down with Earle to unpack why a single headline never captures how millions of households actually experience the same economy. They dig into the indicators worth watching (inflation, Tr...

The disclosure finally happened, and Jon Herold and Chris Paul spend the first Saturday show since it dropped combing through Tulsi Gabbard's newly declassified election documents. They walk through the actual findings, not just the speech that previewed them, arguing the presentation undersold what's really in the paperwork. Expect a mix of graphics, substack article references, and plenty of rec...

Cam Cooksey is back from a month of travels (Deadwood, the Lupos for the 4th, then Clearwater Beach) and still on island time, sunburned and peeling, but ready for a good time. He kicks off with a fun first: paying for a Steak 'n Shake 1776 meal with Bitcoin Lightning, then eases into a warm, patriotic celebration of America's 250th. Expect Cam's signature positive spin on the news. He covers Trum...

Friday night kicks off with the usual audio gremlins (wrong microphones, apologies all around) before the crew digs into the week's biggest story: President Trump's speech touching on election fraud, a possible national emergency declaration on election integrity, and why he name checked China and Venezuela while notably skipping other suspects. Expect a deep dive into competing theories about who...

Host Matt Trump kicks off a strangely "off" day (a suspected credit card scam, a dead remote camera, and possibly six aligning planets) before diving into his real fascination: the World Cup as a shadow play about race. Fresh off the Gart conference and armed with a running screen share, he walks through how different national teams embody wildly different racial philosophies, from France's "imper...

GMoney welcomes Jeff Booth (author of The Price of Tomorrow) back to the show for a conversation that takes direct aim at one accusation Bitcoiners hear constantly: that a deflationary, abundant future is just socialism wearing an orange hat. Booth flips the frame entirely, arguing the real hypocrisy belongs to the folks defending a system that has never actually been a free market. Expect a first...

Jordan and Nate open with a genuinely wild AI experiment: Nate ran his genetic data through an AI tool and got a full cognition, energy, and hormone report back. From there they dive deep into psychedelic therapy, celebrating RFK Jr.'s new HHS VA partnership researching psychedelics for veterans while flagging real concerns. Big Pharma is already circling, with Eli Lilly dropping billions to paten...

Ghost breaks out the maps for a deep dive on the revival of the long dormant Kirkuk to Banias oil pipeline running from Iraq to Syria, tracing its roots all the way back to 1952 and explaining why it makes far more strategic sense than Netanyahu's old dream of piping oil straight to Israel. From there the show pivots to some genuinely juicy palace intrigue: why Netanyahu has spent two weeks trying...

Ashe in America and Ghost dig into Season 4, Episode 7 of The Chosen, "The Last Sign," and it might be the most emotionally loaded hour of the season. Jesus finally performs the miracle the whole season has been building toward, and the hosts explore why the writers chose to center this episode on pain rather than triumph. Expect commentary on the raising of Lazarus, the significance of the Bible'...

Jon Herold spends "Post Disclosure Day" digging through the freshly declassified documents behind Trump's primetime speech, arguing the paperwork itself is far more damning than how Trump actually described it on stage. He walks through claims that China stole 220 million voter files, worked with Venezuela style tactics to manipulate machines, produced fraudulent driver's licenses for ineligible v...

CannCon and Chris Paul dive straight into the morning after Trump's primetime election speech, breaking down which pre show rumors actually panned out and which turned out to be red herrings. The bulk of the show walks through the declassified documents at the center of it all, from claims that China compromised well over 200 million voter registration records to renewed questions about Venezuela,...

CannCon and Ashe in America kick off the night with an hour of pure pregame chaos, a homemade election bingo card, a themed cocktail menu (yes, there's a shot named after a voting system testing lab), and some very cagey teasing about what Trump is about to announce. Then the speech itself hits, and it is a big one: declassified documents, a claimed 220 million compromised voter files, allegations...

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dive into David Fincher's 1997 mind bender, and it turns out one of them had somehow dodged this one entirely until now. They trace the eerie line from The Game to The Truman Show to The Matrix, unpacking why the late 90s were absolutely dripping with existential dread, and how a movie about total control over one man's reality hits very differently with "post info wa...
