Badlands Media

CannCon and Zak Paine open with a follow up on the Air Force One missile capability story, connecting it to a possible canary trap and predicting some accountability is coming for whoever leaked it. From there they play a clip of President Trump weighing in on John Thune's future as Senate Majority Leader before turning their frustration toward the Senate voting to leave for a 40 day recess without resolving the Attorney General confirmation fight, leaving Trump without the recess appointment option he needed. Marsha Blackburn's Tennessee governor primary run gets a look too. The back half is a deep dive into the national DSA platform itself, walking through eyebrow raising planks like defunding the Department of Defense, abolishing the Senate, and granting blanket amnesty, positions the hosts expect to hear a lot more about heading into the fall. A busy Monday show.

Alpha Warrior and Josh Reid are back after a weekend of cursed tech, fried computers, and a power outage that hit mid sentence while Josh broke down a Minnesota cyber incident. Over the target, maybe. The main event is the timing they say they called: Todd Blanche confirmed as Attorney General on the very same day General Flynn posts "the storm has arrived," followed hours later by Trump.
The guys connect the dots between Blanche's confirmation and the Brennan transcripts the FBI has reportedly been withholding from Joe de Genova and the grand jury, arguing the confirmation was the go signal for subpoenas, indictments, and a wave of declassification. Expect a read of a Scavino "popcorn" post, a two part "storm" theory where the real chaos is the collision between Trump's side and the opposition, and the usual reminder that POTUS stays neutral for optics. Closes with an original track. Bring popcorn.

Burning Bright welcomes back his favorite geopolitical sparring partner, Ghost, for a session he warmly promises will "waterboard you informationally and narratively." Consider yourself warned, and comfortable.
The theme tonight is the final boss. Who exactly is the Sovereign Alliance fighting, and why do so many in the truth community keep rubber-banding back to their old Fox News framing the moment Trump or Putin says something unexpected? The two dig into cognitive dissonance, the multipolar war, and why being right matters less than shifting the conversation.
Expect a spirited breakdown of the Iran situation: the curiously camera-shy Ayatollah, an old video passed off as current, who is actually signing all these deals, and Trump's "we are low keying it" comments. They also tee up Friday's Mecca agreement and what it means for the region.
Less doom, more pattern recognition, with plenty of dry humor along the way.

Jonathan Drake closes out chapter two of Spooner's Science of Justice, wrapping sections six through eight in one sitting. He builds the case that if justice is natural, it has to be immutable and universal, the same standard for everyone, everywhere, whether we are talking about ancient Rome or your neighborhood today. Expect a memorable analogy about contractors using different measuring systems to build a house, a candid take on why the Anglo Saxon era's civil wars were actually a sign of a healthy system rather than a broken one, and some sharp commentary on why a government without a fixed moral compass is free to rewrite its own rules whenever convenient. Jon also touches on Bitcoin as a defensive tool consistent with natural law, and shares a very relatable Amazon return story. Stick around for smoked meat talk, sponsor shoutouts, and a preview of chapter three's history lesson on how despotism became the norm.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open by dissecting a pair of Trump social posts, one clearly joking about a 2028 run, one that reads a lot more serious, and have some fun picking apart what happens when a "just kidding" post gets followed by one that isn't. There's also a JD Vance endorsement clip that gets the full comedic breakdown treatment before things turn more substantive.
The middle stretch covers a Tucker Carlson style interview where Trump talks AI, data centers, and the power infrastructure being built alongside them, with the guys drawing comparisons to Bitcoin mining setups and wondering aloud what's really being built. That folds into midterm talk and what a Democrat controlled Congress could mean going forward. Add in a Hunter Biden tangent near the end, and it's a episode that bounces between comic relief and genuinely meaty policy discussion.

Cam Cooksey opens episode 62 unsure what day it is (Jackie's out of town, so of course), then settles into a calm, big-picture read of the week's Truth Social posts. A rainstorm, a flying door, and a briefly missing cat provide the comic relief midway through.
The through line is war and peace. Cam unpacks Trump's "Trump 2028, just kidding" post, an AI photo of Trump with Patton and MacArthur, and his own framing that we're deep in a fifth generation psychological world war between sovereigns and globalists. He plays a JFK peace speech, touches General Flynn's posts, and spends real time on the historic Gaza agreement to disarm Hamas, the "Board of Peace," and what a rebuilt, thriving Middle East (his playful "Turbine Towers" riff) could look like with Iran's destabilizing influence squashed.
Faith and responsibility anchor the close, with a hopeful Forrest Frank outro. Keep it flowing.

The crew opens with a heavy one, the Lindsay Clancy case and the murky territory of postpartum psychosis, before pivoting into a genuinely raw conversation about feeling burned by Dan Bongino after years of promised Epstein accountability that never materialized. From there it's straight into a spicy, on the record moment where hosts declare they want APAC and any foreign flag influence out of American politics entirely, followed by a much more nuanced debate about the difference between the Muslim world and the Islamic world, and whether recent media narratives are quietly herding everyone toward an us versus them binary. There's also a Sean Hannity CIA jab, some friendly ribbing about who actually fought who over what, and a big announcement that the Great American Restoration Tour is heading to Las Vegas. Buckle up, this one covers a lot of ground.

Host Matt Trump powers through a technically cursed evening (broken mic cord, dead camera, "wading through mud" all week) to deliver part three of his summer abroad walking tour as the self-styled Rick Steves of Badlands. After a detour on reactivating a decade-old Facebook account and how he tries to explain his politics to liberal friends, he crosses the Thames to the Tower of London and its Norman builders.
The through line is a provocative analogy: the Norman Conquest of 1066, in which a small ruling class dominated England without replacing its people, framed as a template for how he views globalist or "deep state" control of modern America. Expect the White Tower, Traitor's Gate, the scaffold site, a Robin Hood tie-in, a space-alien thought experiment, and a Federal Reserve comparison, all wrapped in his usual history-meets-geopolitics musing. The Romans built the bridge; the Normans, he argues, still run the place.

Jordan and Nate open by roasting mainstream media's hilarious hit pieces on RFK Jr.'s new cooking show (the Washington Post is somehow mad the HHS secretary makes salmon cakes) before playing some genuinely great clips of him going toe to toe with a stone faced Dana Bash on CNN and dropping a bombshell about gain of function research on Fox News. From there they dig deep into the corporate takeover of the supplement world, breaking down why Procter & Gamble just paid billions for Thorne and how mega corps like Nestle and Glanbia are quietly buying up the whole natural products supply chain. The back half covers Kennedy's move to decertify an organ procurement group over disturbing patient safety failures, wildfire smoke survival tips, a nuanced look at Texas's cannabis crackdown, and a candid, funny debate about the peptide craze and whether it is the first step toward a very different kind of future. Equal parts news breakdown and honest conversation between friends.

Trump heads to the State Department to make the case that mining, yes, mining, might be one of the sleeper hits of his second term. Expect big numbers on new mines opening at the fastest pace since the 1950s, billions in fresh investment, the first American rare earth mine in over 70 years, and a genuinely entertaining tangent about chandeliers and Corinthian columns. Rubio, Burgum, and Lutnick each take a turn explaining how tariffs, permitting reforms, and international mineral agreements are rebuilding a supply chain America let slip away for decades. There's a $100 million commitment to mining schools, a solid gold nodule replica handed to Trump mid speech, and a parade of industry executives and university presidents thanking him like he personally reopened their mines. Between the policy substance there's plenty of classic riffing, on coal, on tariffs being his "fifth favorite word," and on how badly Minnesota's governor is running things. A wonky topic delivered with maximum showmanship.
