On this episode of Badlands Daily, hosts CannCon and Ashe in America unpack a flurry of breaking news, from judicial corruption to international instability. They begin with a rundown of recent Trump posts and what they signal about the ongoing political war, highlighting Trump’s nod to Biden’s legal troubles and a warning shot aimed at lawfare operatives. CannCon and Ashe dive into recent revelations about Judge Merchan’s daughter and her firm’s ties to Democratic fundraising, raising serious concerns about conflicts of interest in the Trump trial.

The conversation then shifts to the absurdity of Michael Cohen’s testimony, with the hosts exposing glaring contradictions and timeline issues. They draw attention to the media's synchronized distraction campaign, including the left's attempts to revive COVID fears and shift public attention toward Middle East unrest. Updates on Julian Assange’s legal battle, Europe’s energy dependence, and signals of military instability in the Pacific round out the global segment.

Finally, they reflect on a key theme: Trump’s controlled messaging, the orchestrated panic among legacy media, and how Americans can discern signal from noise in an information war. Packed with intel, context, and sharp commentary, this episode captures the sense of urgency and hope behind the scenes of the 2024 fallout.
