Badlands Daily: May 6, 2025 – Texas Truth Bombs and Targeted Lies

On this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ghost take aim at the day's top headlines, exposing media manipulation and political gamesmanship. They kick things off with the real story behind Texas' border security victory after a federal judge ruled in favor of the state’s right to enforce immigration at the Rio Grande. Then it's onto the Biden admin’s narrative spin regarding the failed Texas shooter and the increasingly obvious push to disarm the public through manufactured gun control stories.

The hosts dissect the media’s role in shaping public opinion, from selective reporting on transgender activism to the framing of recent Middle East updates. The show also highlights an alarming new federal push to track and suppress online dissent under the guise of AI “misinformation” enforcement.

From U.S. political stunts and judicial overreach to international posturing and media gaslighting, CannCon and Ghost blend fact-checking with unapologetic analysis. No topic is off-limits as they sift through propaganda to arm listeners with what they need to know, minus the spin.
