The Liberty Den Ep. 141: Gaza Riviera, Surgeon General Smackdowns, and Vatican Vibes

In this spirited roundtable episode of The Liberty Den, a colorful cast of Badlands Media hosts reunites for a wide-ranging, off-the-rails Friday night. The crew dives headfirst into geopolitical fireworks, dissecting reports of Trump’s upcoming recognition of a Palestinian state and a possible Saudi nuclear deal, moves that could reshape the Middle East and silence critics who long accused him of being controlled by Israel. Ghost breaks down the historical promise Trump made to Mahmoud Abbas in 2017 and why this move would be the ultimate dealmaker’s full-circle moment.
The conversation shifts to domestic chaos, including the viral backlash against Dr. Casey Means, Trump’s new pick for Surgeon General. Ash and the crew tear apart the credential-obsessed critics, arguing that rejecting allopathic doctrine is a badge of honor, not a disqualifier. Meanwhile, the hosts joke about a potential "GART Gaza" summit and debate the merits (and dangers) of Badlands-themed cruise events.
Later, they tackle Vatican politics, celebrity-worship culture in D.C., and the corrupt foundations of modern religion. A passionate discussion unfolds about Trump’s strategic manipulations, how people misinterpret his endorsements, and why emotional intelligence, not blind loyalty, is key to understanding his moves.
From dark humor and brutal honesty to spiritual reflection and political fire, this is Liberty Den at its finest, equal parts late-night comedy, geopolitical warfare, and grassroots therapy.

The Daily Herold: May 9, 2025 – Trump’s Middle East Pivot, Kushner’s Return, and O’Keefe’s Faceplant

On this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold kicks things off with an in-depth segment featuring Ghost of Patrick Henry to unpack the geopolitical power plays redefining the Middle East. From Trump’s surprising snub of Israel and the sidelining of Netanyahu, to renewed talks with Iran and a potentially historic Saudi nuclear deal, the duo digs deep into the motives and strategies behind Trump’s emerging peace-through-strength doctrine. Ghost connects the dots on Jared Kushner’s quiet return, Ron Dermer’s desperation visit to D.C., and why a Trump-Putin handshake in Riyadh could flip the entire global narrative.
Back on the homefront, Jon recaps the shakeup at DOJ, where Judge Jeanine Pirro replaces Ed Martin as interim U.S. Attorney for D.C., a move likely designed to expose more RINO obstruction in the Senate. Meanwhile, Martin slides into a powerful new triple-threat role leading pardons, investigating government weaponization, and serving as Associate Deputy AG.
The episode also takes aim at James O’Keefe’s overhyped Epstein “exposé,” calling out the clickbait tactics and flimsy accusations against Pam Bondi as a reckless distraction. Jon defends Dr. Casey Means, Trump’s pick for Surgeon General, applauding her credentials as a fearless disruptor and dismantling the absurd arguments about her inactive license.
Rounding out the show are sharp takes on Jasmine Crockett’s projection-fueled rant, Letitia James’ federal probe, the firing of FEMA’s acting director, and a liberal meltdown over overpriced tacos. Herold weaves it all together with narrative warfare analysis and a reminder that chaos is just the prelude to clarity.

Spellbreakers Ep. 117: Saving Oregon, Seven Brides, and the Spirit of America

In the first-ever Friday night edition of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump kicks off the weekend with a deeply personal and freewheeling exploration of nostalgia, geography, politics, and classic Americana. Broadcasting solo, Matt uses the episode as a canvas to reminisce on his college days in Oregon, share reflections on his life as a physicist and AI researcher at Arizona State, and explore the cultural and political shifts unfolding in both Oregon and America at large.
With the state of Oregon as a central character, Matt takes listeners on a tour of the Willamette Valley, recounts the strange symbolism of Oregon’s state capitol, and advocates for unity over secession in the face of eastern Oregon’s push to join Idaho. He blends this civic reflection with commentary on Trump’s evolving relationship with Israel, race and free speech in America, and the importance of cultural memory.
In a highlight moment, Matt dives into a musical tribute to Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, analyzing its symbolism, romantic energy, and portrayal of mid-century American ideals. He even plays the film’s opening number, “Bless Your Beautiful Hide,” as part of his broader campaign to remind listeners of the joy and courage in American storytelling.
Backed by sponsors BlockTrust IRA and Safe Streets, and peppered with audience shoutouts, movie trivia, and TCM reverence, this episode feels like an intimate fireside chat, equal parts homespun history, media commentary, and heartland revivalism.
Spellbreakers Friday nights have arrived, and Matt’s determined to make them count.

Why We Vote Ep. 124: Inside the ActBlue Smurfing Scandal with The Protagonist and Tino Bambino

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Why We Vote, hosts CannCon and Ashe in America are joined by special guests Kayla (The Protagonist) and Tino Bambino for an in-depth investigation into political money laundering, digital identity theft, and the systemic manipulation of U.S. elections. The duo shares their firsthand experience working on a nationwide citizen journalist operation initially launched under the O’Keefe Media Group, uncovering how elderly Americans, many unaware, are having their identities hijacked to funnel millions through platforms like ActBlue.
Tino recounts his fieldwork confronting a supposed top donor in Colorado, revealing a woman living in a retirement home who had no idea over $200,000 was attributed to her name. Kayla outlines the scale and method of the fraud, from addictive Facebook donation prompts to absurd levels of micro-transactions used to fabricate donor data. Together, they explain how this scheme, dubbed "smurfing", violates multiple federal statutes, yet continues unchecked.
But the bombshells don’t stop there. The guests drop insight on WinRed’s similar tactics, the bipartisan nature of political laundering, and how NGOs are complicit in exploiting migrant crises for cash and influence. From fake grassroots narratives to taxpayer-funded digital pipelines, this episode exposes the tangled web of corruption fueling America’s controlled opposition, and why citizen journalism might be our last line of defense.
Packed with footage, field reports, and a healthy dose of righteous outrage, this episode is a must-watch for anyone who still believes your vote, and your name, should belong to you.

Badlands Live: May 9, 2025 – White House Press Briefing

In this high-energy press briefing-style livestream, the Trump administration lays out a sweeping agenda that reasserts American strength on the world stage and resets domestic policy priorities. The livestream opens with the announcement of President Trump’s upcoming historic return to the Middle East, his first since launching the Abraham Accords, emphasizing peace through strength, economic collaboration, and cultural exchange. Simultaneously, a new $5 billion trade deal with the UK marks a triumph in agricultural exports and aircraft sales, while Secretary Scott Bessen heads to Switzerland for high-stakes trade talks with China.
The White House also unveils a bold new self-deportation initiative incentivizing illegal immigrants to use the CBP Home app to return voluntarily, reducing enforcement costs by 70%. Meanwhile, First Lady Melania Trump secures $25 million in funding to support youth aging out of foster care, continuing her BE BEST legacy.
In a flurry of press questions, Trump’s meme coin raises ethical questions, Marco Rubio is confirmed to be heading national security negotiations, and Judge Janine Pirro is named interim U.S. Attorney for D.C., following Ed Martin’s reassignment. Meanwhile, a proposed 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine garners mixed international responses, and a controversial U.S.-led aid distribution plan in Gaza sparks debate.
The administration doesn’t hold back on domestic shifts either, firing the Librarian of Congress over DEI and inappropriate content, proposing the renaming of the Persian Gulf, and celebrating bipartisan outrage as California walks back its decriminalization of child prostitution.
From federal restructuring and bold foreign policy to crypto, censorship, and the collapse of the regime narrative, this isn’t just a political update. It’s a signal that the era of Clown World may finally be ending.

Badlands Daily: May 9, 2025 – Popes, Pardons, and Political Power Plays

In this fast-paced Friday edition of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Chris Paul cover a tidal wave of headlines that span global geopolitics, U.S. legal drama, and institutional hypocrisy. The show opens with a breakdown of Pope Leo XIV’s historic election, the first American Pope, and dives deep into his past controversies, ideological leanings, and unexpected prediction by Steve Bannon. Trump’s muted reaction and the pope’s alignment with globalist views raise eyebrows, especially amid past abuse cover-up allegations from his time in Peru.
The conversation shifts stateside to Victory Day in Russia, where Trump’s absence contrasts starkly with the parade of BRICS-aligned world leaders in Moscow, while tensions with Ukraine flare amid drone strikes. Back at home, the hosts unpack the bait-and-switch surrounding Ed Martin’s removal as U.S. Attorney for D.C., revealing Thom Tillis as the scapegoat and Judge Jeanine Pirro as the flashy replacement. Yet Trump’s strategic redeployment of Martin as pardon attorney and director of the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group hints at long-game maneuvers against the regime.
The duo tackles a storm of stories: RFK Jr.’s controversial Surgeon General pick, the FBI’s criminal probe into Letitia James, the staggering failure to locate 95,000 migrant children, California Democrats walking back their decriminalization of child prostitution, John Fetterman’s bizarre mental spiral, and Biden’s humiliating cognitive flops on The View. They also question James O’Keefe’s underwhelming Epstein exposé and discuss how institutional rot infects everything from the courts to Congress to the FBI.
With brutal honesty and dark humor, CannCon and Chris Paul cut through the narrative clutter to expose the controlled ops, power plays, and fake facades holding the current system together.

The RattlerGator Report: May 9, 2025 – Pope Leo, Premium Markets, and Project DeWeaponization

In this wide-ranging and fiercely personal edition of The RattlerGator Report, J.B. White reflects on the historic selection of Pope Leo XIV, an American, and considers what his papacy might signal for global Catholicism, American identity, and institutional healing. With his signature Southern charm and unapologetic candor, J.B. also dives into a critical analysis of global trade, explaining why the United States should, and now does, charge a premium for access to its markets, citing Trump’s 25% tariff floor as a necessary reset.
The episode then pivots to one of J.B.’s central themes: Project DeWeaponization. With fiery passion, he explores how language, specifically racialized slang, can be reclaimed and redefined to undermine divisive narratives. Tom Tillis becomes the week’s prime example of what J.B. deems a “n****a ass cracker,” as he rails against establishment sabotage and praises Trump’s strategic patience and preparation in unleashing Ed Martin and Judge Jeanine to dismantle institutional corruption.
From rants about Angela Merkel and raw milk pilgrimages to poetic musings on America’s unique cultural landscape, this episode embodies everything RattlerGator stands for: fierce truth-telling, spiritual grounding, and a mission to expose enemy combatants, foreign and domestic. As J.B. says, “There can only be one...and we are that one.”

Rugpull Radio Ep 119: Special Guest Top Gun Navy Fighter Pilot George Bodine @Jethroe111 Maverick Money: Bitcoin at Mach Speed

In Rug Pull Radio Ep. 119, GMoney hosts a powerhouse interview with George, aka Jethro111, a former Navy fighter pilot and Top Gun-trained adversary turned bitcoin evangelist and artist. In a blend of raw grit and deep wisdom, George shares his bitcoin origin story, shaped by decades of real-world experience from mining to military service. He unpacks the courage needed to break free from fiat slavery, offering insights on historical financial crises, the war on sovereignty, and why boomers (bless their hearts) might just need to get out of the way.
This episode soars through macroeconomic collapse, the ethics of taxation, the strategic role of hash rate in national defense, and the philosophical dimensions of digital freedom. George makes the case for bitcoin as both weapon and refuge, while GMoney presses into Jason Lowery’s “power projection” thesis and the evolving role of NFTs, counterparty assets, and second-layer Bitcoin governance.
From mining bitcoin in his studio to flying above the fiat storm, George is the embodiment of "be the signal." Peppered with clips of Michael Saylor and Trump, the episode also recaps clown-world headlines, from central bank meltdowns to the rise of Pepe NFTs, and signals the acceleration of Bitcoin’s takeover of capital markets, policy, and cultural consciousness. Expect sharp rants, high-octane banter, and unapologetic truth bombs as Rug Pull Radio continues its mission to awaken the digital lions.

SITREP Ep. 115: Ed Martin, Meth-Pipe Raccoons, and the Epstein File Feint

In this explosive episode of SITREP, hosts CannCon and Alpha Warrior kick things off fired up and ready to dissect everything from political betrayals to raccoons smoking meth pipes. The duo dives into the viral story of a high school senior fatally shot during a TikTok prank gone wrong, debating the legal and moral complexities surrounding gun ownership, self-defense laws, and police response. The conversation escalates with a heated, nuanced clash over a controversial police shooting video, unpacking the intersection of constitutional rights, training, and tactical judgment.
But the real fire comes when they tear into James O’Keefe’s latest drop. Alpha and CannCon dismantle the so-called “explosive” footage, exposing it as an emotion-baiting nothingburger designed to undermine Trump allies like Pam Bondi. They argue O’Keefe’s claims of Epstein-related revelations lack any legal substance and serve more to stir outrage than to inform. The episode closes with a reminder not to get distracted by manufactured drama while real government subversion, like Thom Tillis torpedoing Ed Martin’s appointment, continues in plain sight.
This is SITREP unfiltered: a gritty, no-holds-barred conversation on justice, media manipulation, and the fight to preserve truth in a post-truth world.

Quite Frankly Ep. 6: Vatican Power Plays, Trump’s Trade Game & America’s Political Theater

In this high-energy sixth episode of Quite Frankly, host Frankie Val takes listeners on a whirlwind tour through geopolitics, Catholic intrigue, and the collapsing credibility of the media and political establishment. He kicks off with personal stories from Liberation Day and family life before diving into an illuminating conversation with nutritionist Jay Gulanello and rancher Eric Perner on the life-saving potential of regenerative agriculture.
Frankie then brings in polling expert Rich Barris for a deep-dive conversation that spans the papal election of Leo XIV, the weaponization of immigration by the Catholic Church, the captured U.S. Senate, and Trump's under-the-radar victories, like the UK trade deal and a seismic political grovel by new Canadian PM Mark Carney. The duo discusses GOP corruption, the rise of populism, the deep state's entrenchment, and why Trump’s executive orders may be laying the groundwork for dismantling the bloated federal bureaucracy.
The episode peaks with a gripping theological and political breakdown with Timothy Gordon, analyzing the selection of the new pope, Francis’ court-packing strategy, the Lavender Mafia’s influence, and whether the Vatican is being manipulated to fall in line with globalist aims. From Fatima to Windswept House to the legacy of Pope John Paul I, it’s a firehose of Catholic lore, conspiracy, and sobering reality.
Add in some wild sidebars on UFOs, secret societies, and prophetic Marian visions, and you’ve got a two-hour tour de force of unapologetic conversation, cultural reflection, and critical analysis you won’t hear anywhere else. This is Quite Frankly at full throttle.
