CannCon and Ashe in America take on a packed news day in this sharp and often hilarious edition of Badlands Daily. From the legal battles over Trump-appointed prosecutors to a former Army sergeant’s treasonous attempt to sell secrets to China, they unpack how corruption and incompetence continue to collide in Washington. The hosts dive into the rise of “democratic socialism,” exposing how corporate power and government collusion have replaced true capitalism in America. They tackle Congress’s reversal of Trump’s Brazil tariffs, DOJ investigations into Trump allies under “Operation Arctic Frost,” and the suspiciously garbled FBI documents raising questions about AI and declassification. The conversation heats up around Amazon’s massive AI layoffs, universal basic income, and the government shutdown threatening SNAP benefits, revealing how dependency and control go hand-in-hand. Equal parts humor and hard truth, this episode cuts through media spin to show how faith, freedom, and discernment are the real countermeasures to globalist chaos.
