Badlands Daily: Feb. 14, 2025 – Musk Raids the IRS, Trump’s Trade War, and the Bureaucrats’ Breakdown

CannCon and Chris Paul break down the deep state’s latest legal temper tantrum as 14 state attorneys general sue Elon Musk, claiming his oversight of the federal bureaucracy is unconstitutional. The same people who had no problem with shadowy government agencies running unchecked for decades are suddenly very concerned about "authority." Meanwhile, USAID employees are panicking as another judge tries and fails to protect their taxpayer-funded slush funds, with billions in foreign aid drying up overnight.
On the world stage, Trump just flipped the trade table with his reciprocal tariff policy, meaning the U.S. will now charge the same rates on imports as other countries charge on American goods. The EU, India, and China are already reeling as they realize their days of taking advantage of America’s open markets are over. Meanwhile, the meltdown over Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) hits new levels of absurdity, with the IRS next in line for a full audit and mass layoffs already underway at the Small Business Administration and Department of Education.
With Trump cutting the deep state’s financial pipeline, exposing regulatory overreach, and taking a wrecking ball to globalist trade deals, the swamp is running out of lifelines.

The Brief: Feb. 14, 2025 – The Deep State vs. Doge and Trump’s Next Power Move

Patrick Gunnels breaks down the latest deep state meltdown as 14 states sue Elon Musk, claiming his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is unconstitutional. Apparently, cutting government waste, firing useless bureaucrats, and exposing corruption is just too much for these blue-state attorneys general to handle. Meanwhile, the mainstream media is losing it over Trump’s call with Putin, trying to spin it as some grand betrayal of Europe, when in reality, the U.S. is finally forcing the EU to stand on its own two feet.
Back in D.C., the swamp is panicking as CISA just got gutted, with 17 election security officials placed on leave. The same agency that swore the 2020 election was the most secure in history is suddenly scrambling to justify its existence. Meanwhile, the DOJ is purging corrupt prosecutors, and Trump just announced a massive energy deal with India, sending U.S. oil and gas exports soaring while cutting into China’s influence.
With the deep state flailing, Trump making massive power moves, and the bureaucratic machine getting a long-overdue reality check, it’s clear that the old system is falling apart. The only question now is...who’s next on the chopping block?

RattlerGator Report: Feb. 14, 2025 – Big Daddy Trump Runs the World

J.B. White breaks down the latest global chess moves as Trump flexes his geopolitical muscle, proving once again that he’s the only one driving the train. J.D. Vance just put Russia on notice, threatening sanctions and military action if Putin doesn’t play ball on ending the Ukraine war. Meanwhile, Zelensky, far from being abandoned, seems to be working with Trump, setting the stage for negotiations that could reshape Eastern Europe. The media still can’t process that Trump is operating on a Sun Tzu-level battle plan, flipping the deep state’s own strategies against them in real time.
Back in the U.S., Trump’s economic wrecking ball is in full swing, and the bureaucrats are terrified. Government slush funds are drying up, lawfare is hitting roadblocks in the courts, and the judiciary is being forced to confront its own corruption. Meanwhile, Elon Musk is helping dismantle the administrative state, and leftists are scrambling to explain why a guy who just fired half of D.C. is still more transparent than the entire government.
With Trump forcing Europe to step up, Poland emerging as a key ally, and NATO’s future looking shakier than ever, the global order is shifting at lightning speed. The deep state can screech all they want about “autocracy,” but the reality is simple...Trump isn’t just playing the game. He’s rewriting the rules.

Rugpull Radio Ep 109: Trump, the Fiat Collapse, and the Politics of Crisis in a Bitcoin World

GMoney breaks down the latest chaos in the financial world and why all signs point to a major shift ahead. With Trump and Musk slashing the bloated federal workforce, the deep state’s funding pipelines are being cut off in real time. The government is the largest employer in the U.S., and mass layoffs are already underway. Is a financial crisis being strategically engineered?
Looking back at 2020, Trump printed trillions during COVID, effectively merging the Fed and Treasury under his control. Now, with gold hoarding skyrocketing, interest payments on federal debt hitting record highs, and the Fed quietly bending the knee, something big is brewing. Could a “white swan event” be the pretext Trump needs to take down Wall Street’s corruption, reset the monetary system, and shift to a Bitcoin-backed economy?
Meanwhile, Texas is launching its own stock exchange, Ron DeSantis is pushing to abolish property taxes, and GameStop’s CEO just met with Michael Saylor, because, of course, Bitcoin is at the center of it all. With the deep state panicking, inflation boiling, and liquidity vanishing, the question isn’t if a major shift is coming...it’s when.

SITREP Ep. 106: Trump’s Deep State Knockout and the End of NATO?

CannCon, Alpha Warrior, and Colonel Towner-Watkins break down the absolute beatdown Trump and Musk are delivering to the deep state, with USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy getting their funding cut off at the knees. The regime change slush funds are drying up, and the globalists are panicking as their covert operations get exposed for the world to see. Meanwhile, the mainstream media is desperately trying to spin Trump’s foreign policy moves as reckless, but the reality is he’s dismantling the same war machine that’s been running the world for decades.
As the EU suddenly scrambles to boost its military spending, NATO’s future is looking shakier than ever. With Trump and Putin expected to meet in Saudi Arabia, questions are swirling about whether we’re witnessing the final days of NATO as we know it. The deep state has lost control of the money, the narrative, and now possibly the entire global order.
The guys also dive into the history of CIA-backed regime change, how intelligence agencies have used unions and media outlets as cover for covert operations, and why everything happening now has been decades in the making. With geopolitical shake-ups happening in real time, SITREP is here to break it all down.

Taking It Back Ep. 90: Gold, Crypto Scams, and the Deep State's Next Panic

Frankie Val, Adel Nero, and Zak Paine break down the latest chaos in the financial world, from rumors of the U.S. Treasury buying up gold to the absolute disaster of the 8chan crypto rug pull. CodeMonkey’s hyped-up countdown turned out to be just another Solana meme coin, and within days, it tanked faster than a Biden approval rating.

The guys also dig into the IRS audit bombshell, with Trump and Musk’s government efficiency team exposing just how bloated and corrupt the system really is.

And if that wasn’t enough, rumors are flying that Ron Paul could be tapped to shake up the Federal Reserve, because nothing would make the swamp panic more than a man who's been calling out their grift for decades.
With financial markets shifting, political narratives crumbling, and the deep state running out of lifelines, it's clear the next phase of the fight is here.

Jon Herold breaks down the latest geopolitical shake-ups as Trump and Putin prepare for a high-stakes meeting in Saudi Arabia, signaling that the Ukraine war may finally be coming to an end. Trump’s demand for $500 billion in rare earth minerals as part of the deal is sending shockwaves through Kyiv, while the establishment media struggles to spin it as anything other than a power move. Meanwhile, in Gaza, Trump is forcing the Arab world to step up with a plan of their own, proving once again that he’s playing chess while everyone else is still figuring out checkers.
Back in D.C., the deep state is in full meltdown mode. The judiciary is scrambling to block Trump’s spending freezes, USAID’s money laundering pipeline is drying up, and activist judges are desperately trying to keep the administrative state intact. But Trump isn’t waiting around...he’s already begun the federal firing spree, with probationary employees at the Department of Education and Small Business Administration getting their walking papers.
As Doge continues to expose government corruption, Trump is making it clear that the days of endless slush funds and unchecked bureaucratic power are over. The swamp is running out of moves, and The Daily Herold is here for every second of it.

Badlands Daily: Feb. 13, 2025 – Deep State Freakout, Google’s Woke Purge, and Trump’s Play for Ukraine

CannCon and Patrick Gunnels break down the absolute firehose of news as the deep state scrambles to keep up with Trump’s relentless purge. Google just erased Pride Month, Black History Month, and other diversity initiatives from its calendar, sending leftists into full meltdown mode, except it turns out Biden’s administration made the decision months ago. Meanwhile, panic is setting in for Democrats as a new poll shows Trump’s support among black men skyrocketing to 42%, shattering their electoral math.
Over at the DOJ, activist judges are trying to block Trump’s latest executive orders, but Trump isn’t backing down. Impeachment articles are being drafted against corrupt judges, and the battle over the federal bureaucracy is heating up. Meanwhile, Pam Bondi just announced legal action against New York for prioritizing illegal migrants over American citizens, and the left is losing their minds.
On the world stage, Trump is flipping the script on Ukraine. Instead of giving them endless taxpayer dollars for nothing, he’s demanding $500 billion in rare earth minerals in return. Zelensky may not have a choice. With the deep state’s money flow drying up and global elites in full panic mode, the boomerang is hitting hard.

The Brief: Feb. 13, 2025 – D.C. Lawyers, Deep State Panic, and Musk’s Firing Spree

Ashe in America unpacks the absolute chaos brewing in the swamp as Google searches for "criminal defense lawyer" skyrocket in Washington, D.C. Turns out, a whole lot of people are suddenly very concerned about legal exposure with Trump back in the White House. Meanwhile, flights to non-extradition countries are also trending, probably just a coincidence.
Over at the White House, the Rumble revolution is in full swing as the administration ditches legacy media gatekeepers and brings the fight for free speech to the people. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant is heading to Ukraine, and Trump just confirmed that the U.S. is securing mineral rights in exchange for all the aid Biden funneled through Kyiv. Russia, of course, has some thoughts on that, claiming most of those resources are actually in territories that have already joined Russia.
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) wasted no time after Trump’s latest executive order, firing hundreds of Small Business Administration employees before the ink was even dry. The deep state and corporate media are feigning outrage, but the American people seem to have just one response: good.
With Trump and Putin expected to meet in Saudi Arabia, neocons panicking about peace, and the global order shifting before our eyes, the swamp is running out of moves.
