In this high-energy episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America unpack a torrent of explosive headlines. They start with the Houthis’ missile and drone strike on a Greek cargo ship in the Red Sea, analyzing whether the timing was meant to provoke a wider conflict just as Netanyahu met with Trump. The discussion moves to Trump’s comments on sending more defensive weapons to Ukraine and Putin’s unusual public deference when taking Trump’s call mid-event.

The hosts then dismantle the DOJ’s claim there was no Epstein client list and no credible blackmail evidence, pointing out contradictions and gaps in the official narrative. They examine the bizarre missing minute of prison footage and debate whether Ghislaine Maxwell is quietly cooperating behind the scenes. On the domestic front, they cover ICE sweeps in Los Angeles that set off citywide meltdowns, including dramatic demands for federal agents to leave. Rounding out the show are chilling details about coordinated attacks on ICE and Border Patrol, signs that violence could escalate as Democrats float ideas about civil disobedience and even martyrdom. With sharp humor and relentless skepticism, this episode challenges the official stories from every angle.
