Badlands Daily: 12/12/25 – Border Battles, Judicial Roadblocks & the Cracks in the Global Narrative

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week by breaking down a sprawling news cycle that exposes the growing tension between federal authority, activist judges, and collapsing global narratives. They start with DHS touting thousands of illegal-alien arrests in Los Angeles before a federal judge moves to block Trump’s National Guard deployment, sparking a deeper discussion on constitutional authority, invasion definitions, and state defiance. The conversation moves through Supreme Court battles over the administrative state, birthright citizenship, and the broader implications of courts prioritizing “practical concerns” over constitutional law. Internationally, they dissect Venezuela’s escalating drama, Maria Corina Machado’s controversial escape to Norway, accusations of NGO-driven human trafficking, and the long-running CIA entanglements in Latin America. The hosts also connect NATO’s renewed World War rhetoric, Ukraine’s nuclear-risk allegations, renewed biolab scrutiny, vaccine narrative reversals, and Trump’s moves on marijuana policy into one overarching theme: the old information spell is breaking. A dense, high-signal episode tying lawfare, geopolitics, propaganda, and power into a single, unraveling thread.
 

Rugpull Radio 139: Special Guest Grant Cardone Based Billionaire bridging Real Estate to Build a Bitcoin Empire

GMoney is joined by entrepreneur and investor Grant Cardone for a wide-ranging, no-nonsense conversation that cuts straight through Bitcoin tribalism, Wall Street narratives, and traditional investing dogma. Grant walks through his personal journey from real estate dominance to Bitcoin adoption, explaining why he views Bitcoin not as a replacement for real assets, but as a powerful addition to them. He breaks down how inflation, money printing, and taxation actually impact everyday people, why he prefers voluntary systems like tariffs over income taxes, and how combining cash-flowing real estate with Bitcoin creates long-term resilience. The two dive into tokenization, institutional adoption, banking hypocrisy, and why most people misunderstand both Bitcoin and sales psychology. Along the way, Grant shares hard-earned lessons from 2008, his conservative approach to risk, and why optimism, action, and building real value matter more than fear-driven narratives. A candid, often hilarious episode packed with perspective from someone putting serious capital behind his convictions.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior push through head colds to deliver a jam-packed breakdown of the escalating global realignment as Trump’s new National Security Strategy sends shockwaves through Europe and beyond.

They analyze Byrne’s involvement across multiple fronts, Mesa County, Lindell’s PCAP saga, the Iran “double agent” narrative, and his pressure campaign on Trump, and explore whether his role functioned as infiltration, misdirection, or something even more complex. From there, Jon and BB tie Byrne’s revelation into broader information-war dynamics, including planted narratives, controlled opposition, and demoralization tactics aimed at fracturing the movement. The hosts also field live-chat reactions, discuss the psychology of belief in high-stakes information environments, and highlight the importance of discernment as 2025’s narrative battles accelerate.
