Badlands Daily: October 22, 2025 – Brennan’s Lies, Trump’s $230M Claim & the Ballot Hole Blunder

CannCon and Ashe in America return to Badlands Daily with a packed rundown of breaking stories, political absurdities, and sharp analysis you won’t hear anywhere else. They open with John Brennan’s criminal referral for lying to Congress, linking it back to Russiagate, Comey, and the long trail of deep-state deception. From there, they break down President Trump’s unprecedented $230 million claim against the DOJ for wrongful investigations, framing it as another major step in the broader justice narrative. Ashe brings in insight on Tulsi Gabbard’s Weaponization Working Group and the growing accountability movement, while CannCon dissects the arrest of a State Department advisor accused of hoarding classified documents. The pair also tackle DHS’s new $10 billion self-deportation initiative, migrant gang threats, and Argentina’s $20 billion stabilization deal, complete with a deep dive into the American beef industry. Wrapping up with Virginia’s “ballot hole” controversy, Trump’s Putin summit rumors, and a dose of Badlands humor, this episode captures the perfect blend of wit, news, and no-nonsense commentary.
