Badlands Media

CannCon and Ghost kick off this high-voltage episode with a newly declassified FBI intel suggests China may have manufactured fake U.S. driver’s licenses in a scheme to produce fraudulent mail-in ballots in the 2020 election. The hosts unpack the deep implications, connecting it to long-silenced whistleblowers and the broader collapse of trust in American institutions.

From there, the show shifts into geopolitical overdrive. Gordon dives into Israel’s precision strikes on Iran, Netanyahu’s escalating rhetoric, and the high-stakes dynamics at play between Trump, Putin, and the Israeli opposition. They dissect Netanyahu’s attempt to drag Trump into war, the unraveling of the Israeli narrative, and the implications of Starlink lighting up over Iran.

Also on deck: Mike Lindell’s $2.3 million defamation verdict, suspicious contradictions in the Minnesota “hit list” shooting case, CNN’s collapse, and a growing MAGA civil war over foreign entanglements.

With sharp humor, hard-hitting facts, and unapologetic takes, this episode is a fiery fusion of breaking news and big-picture strategy.
