Badlands Daily – December 1, 2025: Illegal Remittances, Gang Violence & the Coming Enforcement Showdown

CannCon and Zak Paine return after the holiday break with a packed episode, opening on the heartbreaking Stockton shooting that left four young people dead before diving into the Treasury Department’s new crackdown on illegal remittances sent by migrants working unlawfully in the U.S. They break down how this FinCEN move threatens cartel cash flow, destabilizes sanctuary-state politics, and directly challenges a decades-old system exposed by a newly surfaced 1983 CIA memo. The hosts then turn to Oregon, where the state’s attorney general and governor are threatening to arrest federal agents enforcing immigration law, a constitutional confrontation they say is coming to a head. From there, they explore Operation Allies Welcome failures, Afghan nationals flagged for terror ties, and the deeper implications behind the recent D.C. National Guard attack. The show also highlights Trump’s escalating posture toward transnational cartels and Venezuela, media attempts to undermine anti-cartel strikes, and how the intelligence community is reacting. A fast-moving, sharp breakdown of immigration, national security, and political warfare.

Q After Hours Ep. 7: The Middle East Flashpoint & Controlled Chaos

In this episode of Q After Hours, Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid break down the rapidly escalating situation in the Middle East, focusing on the coordinated U.S. and Israeli strikes across Syria, Iraq, and beyond.

The hosts connect these developments to shifting alliances, Iran’s strategic maneuvers, and the wider global power realignments forming ahead of 2025. They also dive into domestic narratives, from media manipulation to political framing, and analyze how controlled chaos is being used to shape public perception of foreign policy and national security. Blending hard analysis with late-night energy, Alpha and Josh map out the deeper structures behind the headlines and outline the patterns they believe point toward a major turning point.

JB White returns from Thanksgiving energized and full of stories, kicking off the December 1 RattlerGator Report with celebrations over the Gators’ big win and the Jaguars’ renewed momentum. He breaks down the quarterback drama, the rise of Jaden Ball, and his relief at Florida hiring John Sumrall instead of Lane Kiffin, diving into what true program culture requires in the NIL era. From there, JB shifts into broader reflection, sharing his “Back At Ya” theory, his ongoing conversations with Oak, and why he believes recent global developments are confirming the strength of what he calls the “Trump Doctrine.” Reviewing emerging commentary on Ukraine peace negotiations, global financial realignments, and America’s shift toward Bitcoin-backed sovereignty, he argues that Trump’s tariff strategy, decentralization, and crypto-friendly policy posture represent a second American Revolution aimed at dismantling parasitic global systems. After sponsor reads and lively chat interaction, JB closes with thoughts on Venezuela, Cuba, geopolitics, and the stakes of the battles ahead—ending the show with his trademark humor, bluntness, and patriotic conviction.

The Narrative Ep. 48: The Genesis Mission

In this wide-ranging episode, Burning Bright and guest GMoney dive into the explosive connections between Bitcoin, global finance, and the engineered collapse of old power structures. They explore the revelations from Max Keiser’s interview, the theory that El Salvador’s Bitcoin adoption was part of a coordinated sovereign strategy, and why Bitcoin’s architecture mirrors a spiritual awakening as much as an economic one. From there, they break down the crumbling narratives around legacy banking, CBDCs, the IMF, and how elites appear to be intentionally detonating the old fiat system to consolidate control on the way down. GMoney brings in the psychedelic perspective on consciousness shifts, while BB ties it all to the behaviors of the managerial class, the “clown world” psycosphere, and the unmistakable signs of a reality split underway. Together they examine digital identity traps, weaponized crises, and why parallel economies, and parallel minds, may be the only way forward. A dense, philosophical, and highly energetic conversation connecting global finance, culture, spirituality, and the war for human autonomy.

The No Treason Podcast Ep. 9: The Money Masters Behind the Civil War

In Episode 9, Jonathan Drake continues his deep dive into Section 19 of Lysander Spooner’s No Treason, unpacking how the so-called “financiers of tyranny” shaped the events leading to and following the Civil War. Drake walks listeners through Spooner’s argument that the real power in America was not the government, but the international loan mongers who funded both slavery and the war used to “abolish” it. Using Spooner’s eight key evidentiary points, Drake explores how Northern lenders institutionalized slavery, how the South sought to escape its financial bondage, why the North fought to maintain economic dominance, not moral principle, and how the aftermath cemented centralized control over all Americans. Through this lens, the Civil War becomes not a noble crusade, but a calculated consolidation of power that still defines our political reality. Drake ties Spooner’s analysis to modern patterns of manipulation, showing how the same playbook persists today.

Devolution Power Hour Ep. 411: Venezuela, Narrative Warfare, and the Auto-Pen Fallout

In this episode, Jon Herold and Chris Paul dig into a packed week of geopolitical and domestic chaos, starting with Venezuela’s escalating tensions and how the emerging “foreign election interference” narrative is being weaponized across media, influencers, and political factions. The hosts break down the coordinated push to frame Venezuela as the central culprit behind global election manipulation, why the timing feels engineered, and how this narrative intersects with Trump’s recent moves, including National Guard deployments and immigration shutdowns. They revisit the auto-pen scandal, discussing Trump’s latest declaration that unsigned Biden documents are void, and explain how this fits into the larger battle for legitimacy in the post-2020 landscape. With side quests into CIA power structures, influencer psyops, National Guard incidents, and the unraveling of lawfare indictments, Jon and Chris connect the dots on how narrative warfare, not machines alone, is shaping the information battlespace ahead.

Flow Ep. 29: Rewriting Your Story & Breaking Cycles

In this reflective episode of Flow, Cam Cooksey opens with gratitude and Thanksgiving energy before diving into a powerful monologue on breaking the narratives that keep people stuck. He talks about learning to recognize old stories we tell ourselves, about failure, identity, childhood, relationships, and self-worth, and how those inherited scripts shape what we believe we deserve. Cam walks through the moment he realized he’d been living inside a version of his life that wasn’t fully his and how rewriting that story begins with awareness, curiosity, and honesty about the patterns we repeat. He explores victimhood cycles, the traps of perfectionism, the fear of disappointing others, and the courage it takes to choose a different path even when the old one feels familiar. With his signature mix of humor, vulnerability, and encouragement, Cam challenges listeners to step into authorship of their own lives and make small, intentional changes that build momentum toward a more aligned self. It’s a grounded, introspective episode about breaking cycles, creating space for growth, and choosing the story you actually want to live.

On this Thanksgiving-week episode of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump dives into the true early life of George Washington, using the upcoming film Young Washington as a launching point for a deep historical journey. After opening with holiday reflections, parade observations, and shifting cultural symbolism, Matt explores the origins of Thanksgiving through Washington’s own proclamations before moving into a sweeping lesson on colonial America. He traces Washington’s family roots along the Potomac, the rise of Virginia’s planter class, the formation of the Ohio Company, and Washington’s three expeditions into the Ohio Country that helped ignite the French and Indian War. Through maps, anecdotes, and vivid descriptions of Washington’s encounters with the French, the Iroquois, and the brutal frontier, Matt unpacks how a 21-year-old Washington—ambitious, flawed, and untested—played a direct role in sparking a global conflict. He follows this thread to the fall of Fort Necessity, Braddock’s disastrous campaign, Washington’s improbable survival, and the eventual British victory that set the stage for the Revolution. Blending humor, personal stories, and meticulous research, Matt brings to life the young man who would become America’s founding giant.
