Trump lands in North Carolina to make one very clear pitch: pretend I'm on the ballot, because Michael Whatley basically is. The rally leans hard into crime, walking through the brutal murder of Ukrainian refugee Irina Zaretska and Governor Roy Cooper's early release of 3,500 inmates, before comparing it to the infamous Willie Horton ad that sank Dukakis decades ago. From there it's a full sweep of economic bragging rights, record stock market highs, a proposed $5,000 "Trump dividend," no tax on tips and Social Security, plus a candid Iran update covering their sunken navy and a Strait of Hormuz blockade. Congressional candidates Laurie Buck and Jennifer Balcomb get their moment too, alongside plenty of Hurricane Helene recovery talk and some classic crowd banter, including a "front row Joes" shoutout. Heavy on crime and border messaging, with the signature mix of policy wins and unscripted riffing throughout.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul kick off with midterm convention takeaways before Herold recaps some heated online fights he got into this week over the tariff dividend proposal. From there they dig into Joe DiGenova stepping away from the RICO grand conspiracy case in Florida, a development the guys clearly think deserves more attention than it's getting. There's also a stretch on the AI race and what they see as an operation forming around it, plus the usual mailbag style rundown of superchats and viewer comments covering everything from debt policy pushback to a North Dakota State football shoutout. An Aaron Rodgers clip closes things out if time allows, giving the episode a lighter final note after a fairly dense couple of hours.

President Xi Jinping becomes the first Chinese leader ever to make a second formal state visit to America, and the White House pulls out all the stops for it, national anthems, full honor guard, and a genuinely warm arrival ceremony. Trump reflects on his years long friendship with Xi, the new Board of Trade created during his Beijing visit, and a shared World War II history that gave the Marines their "gung ho" motto. Xi responds with his own vision for a steady, cooperative relationship, touching on AI development, counternarcotics cooperation, increased direct flights, and a rather charming announcement: two new pandas headed to Zoo Atlanta. Expect plenty of diplomatic warmth, talk of trade balance and superintelligence, and a shared nod to the 250th anniversary of American independence. Less policy fireworks, more ceremonial handshake energy, with genuine substance tucked between the pleasantries.

CannCon and Ashe open Ash Wednesday with a Senator Chris Murphy clip arguing that regulating the Internet and fixing loneliness is the way to inoculate voters against Donald Trump, which the hosts find both revealing and a little rich given what Badlands events do every year. That leads into a candid exchange about whether elections are really the mechanism of consent. The bulk of the show works through yesterday's UN General Assembly, from the Greenland and Denmark Arctic security agreement and two new military bases to pointed remarks on Iran, the Western hemisphere, and a globalist push around AI that the hosts promise to unpack further. Along the way there is JD Vance on fraudulent Obamacare enrollments, a Minnesota Senate candidate's campaign video raising eyebrows, and the usual sponsor breaks and chat banter.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid are back together after a busy week apart, and they have a lot to unpack. They start with a string of odd weekend occurrences, from air traffic control outages to unusual reports in the skies, before shifting into a big discussion about Trump TV and why the guys think that move was far more significant than most people realize. They also break down the United Nations talks, hints of an Iran deal on the horizon, and new export restriction moves tied to domestic oil and gas. There is a segment digging into John Brennan and questions swirling around subpoenas and timing that line up with older predictions, plus talk of Trump signing a Greenland security deal and a surprising referendum push from parts of the United Kingdom. Expect plenty of banter, community shoutouts, and the guys catching up after Gart.
