Coups, Drones & Culture Wars – Who's Really In Control?

RANDOM WAYPOINTS PODCAST

In this episode, we cover everything from coup plots and armed drones to Trump’s global trade ambitions and America’s cultural unraveling.

We break down the alleged Quebec militia plot and what it signals for the U.S., the normalization of drone strikes in domestic law enforcement, and the heartbreaking tragedy in Texas. Plus—Trump’s promises on Ukraine, the illusion of democracy, and a head-turning Diddy vs Epstein comparison... for research purposes only.

Co-Hosted by Michael Ladden – global overlander, founder of Drive The Globe, and full-time nomad currently circumnavigating the world in a Stewart & Stevenson overland truck. Michael has traveled to over 70 countries and brings 25+ years of expedition experience to the mic.
