CannCon and Ashe in America break down Trump’s fiery UN speech, from stalled escalators and busted teleprompters to his takedown of the globalist migration agenda, climate change scams, and European energy dependence on Russia. The hosts spotlight his call to end biological and nuclear weapons, defend Christianity, and put child traffickers on notice. They’re joined by Jason Fick, who details his legal battle against Big Tech censorship and the misuse of Section 230, explaining how decades of bad precedent created a weaponized system against free speech. From foreign actors threatening New York’s cell networks to the Secret Service’s UN security lapses, the episode pulls no punches in exposing both incompetence and intentional sabotage on the global stage.

The Daily Herold: September 24, 2025 – Free Speech, Paper Tigers, and UN Games

Jon Herold dives into a busy Wednesday show, starting with YouTube’s half-hearted admission of censorship and why celebrating their limited reinstatements is nothing more than gaslighting. He then unpacks Trump’s dramatic pivot on Ukraine, calling Russia a “paper tiger” while hinting at deeper game theory behind the rhetoric—sparking even a bizarre Kremlin response claiming Russia is a “real bear.” From Trump’s jabs at NATO and the UN to speculation about leaving both altogether, the episode digs into the global stage, defense stocks, and the new F47 fighter jet.
Jon also covers Jimmy Kimmel’s emotional apology over Charlie Kirk, the Dallas ICE facility shooting with “anti-ICE” bullets, Secret Service failures at the UN, and a major FOIA release of Detroit’s 2020 election records. With sharp commentary on shutdown standoffs, antitrust corruption, and home sales data, Herold ties the day’s headlines into the bigger battle over truth, control, and sovereignty.

The hosts examine the manipulation of information, the silencing of dissent, and the weaponization of fear, connecting today’s policies to deeper agendas designed to weaken sovereignty and individual rights. With blunt honesty and a call to action, this episode urges listeners to wake up, push back, and defend freedom before it slips away.
 

Badlands Story Hour Ep 135: The Manchurian Candidate

Chris Paul and Burning Bright take a deep dive into the 1962 classic The Manchurian Candidate, exploring its eerie relevance more than sixty years later. From predictive programming and narrative disarmament to MKUltra-style conditioning, they unravel how the film foreshadowed political assassinations, mass brainwashing, and the manipulation of public perception. The hosts connect Frank Sinatra’s role, Angela Lansbury’s chilling performance, and the film’s layered realities to modern psyops, false flags, and consensus formation in the information war. Along the way, they unpack concepts like intuition versus narrative, social incentive structures, and how propaganda conditions entire societies just as effectively as a programmed assassin. With sharp cultural insight and plenty of first-principles analysis, this episode challenges listeners to see through the storylines crafted for control and to resist the conditioning designed to keep us compliant.

Brad & Abbey Live Ep. 163: Make America Great Again

Brad and Abbey Zerbo celebrate a milestone as Codex 9/11 nears one million views, thanking their audience and announcing a special upcoming thank-you stream. From there, the episode dives into the heart of MAGA, with Brad breaking down how Trump’s policies, tax cuts, manufacturing incentives, and trade deals, are designed to raise the quality of life for everyday Americans. He frames MAGA not just as a slogan but as a universal invitation for citizens to live comfortably, pursue passions, and reclaim the American Dream. Abbey debuts her powerful new anthem “Make America Great Again,” sparking discussion about faith, freedom, and the cultural revival needed to counter ideological subversion. The pair reflect on the Charlie Kirk memorial, the role of Christianity in American life, and the importance of returning to foundational principles rooted in the Bible and the Constitution. With humor, heart, and conviction, this episode blends politics, faith, and music into a call for unity and renewal.

Badlands Book Club - Book 3 - The Fourth Turning: Chapter 7, Part 2

CannCon and Ashe in America continue their deep dive into The Fourth Turning by Strauss and Howe, unpacking the seismic cultural shifts of the Awakening era. From the GI Generation’s confidence after WWII to the Silent Generation’s contradictions and the Boomers’ rebellious rise, this discussion draws striking parallels to today’s upheavals. They trace how Vietnam, Watergate, civil rights battles, and shifting family dynamics set the stage for generational conflict and cultural realignment, while also exploring how children of the 1960s and 70s were shaped by fractured homes, Hollywood’s anti-child narratives, and a society growing hostile to traditional structures. With humor, historical insight, and a sharp eye on how these cycles echo into the present, CannCon and Ashe help listeners see the patterns that repeat, and why understanding them matters now more than ever.

Geopolitics with Ghost Ep. 41: Venezuela, Brazil, and the UN Meltdown - September 23, 2025

In this episode, Ghost dives headfirst into the chaos shaking global politics. From Venezuela’s drug cartels and looming U.S. military action to Brazil’s corrupt judiciary and Trump’s surprising embrace of Lula at the UN, the geopolitical web is laid bare. Ghost exposes Israel’s long game of blackmail through the PROMIS software and how Mossad leveraged it for global control, contrasting it with Epstein’s honeypot operations.
The episode also unpacks Trump’s fiery UN speech, calling out the organization’s waste, corruption, and cowardice while mocking its marble-less halls. Listeners get deep analysis on the sanctions against Brazilian justice Alexandre de Moraes, Trump’s tariffs, Maduro’s power plays, and the dangerous games being played with Palestine’s recognition. Ghost ties it all together with insight into the emerging North-South transportation corridor, Kazakhstan’s $4 billion rail deal, and how these shifts signal the dawn of a new golden age of trade and power.

He then welcomes former congressman and economist Dave Brat for a deep dive into grassroots politics, the spiritual war in academia, and how faith and education shape economic strength. Their conversation touches on Brat’s upset victory over Eric Cantor, the weakness of today’s conservatives, the role of Christianity in economic growth, and whether school choice and fair elections can truly fix a broken system.
Later, Jon breaks down Trump’s fiery UN appearance, Kamala Harris’s rhetoric, Google’s partial retreat on censorship, and the Tylenol–autism controversy fueling Trump’s new autism action plan.
