Badlands Daily: June 4, 2025 – Judge Merchan’s Moves, Trump’s Momentum & a Broken System on Display

In this June 4th edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Chris Paul walk through the latest developments in the Trump trial aftermath, focusing on Judge Merchan’s questionable decisions, including the sudden sealing of juror names, and how these moves reveal the deeper dysfunction of a weaponized justice system. They explore the media’s shifting tone as public support for Trump continues to rise, particularly among minority voters, and how that momentum is being met with desperation from regime actors.

The hosts also examine the bizarre contradictions within the Biden campaign’s messaging and fundraising efforts, pointing to signs of a campaign running on fumes. From Trump’s strategically timed posts to the public’s growing disillusionment with government institutions, CannCon and Chris highlight the unraveling trust in the system as a whole.

With sharp analysis and grounded skepticism, the duo tie together legal chaos, media failures, and cultural shifts, asking whether this engineered breakdown is part of a much bigger awakening.
