Badlands Daily: September 15, 2025 – Assassination Fallout, FBI Turmoil, and The Battle for TPUSA

CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine unpack the continuing shockwaves of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, drawing parallels to the tumultuous 1960s and questioning whether history is repeating itself. They break down Utah Governor Spencer Cox’s press conferences, conflicting reports about suspect Tyler Robinson, and the FBI’s credibility crisis under Cash Patel. From Discord chats and rifles wrapped in towels to oddities about body armor and bullet wounds, the hosts examine the unanswered questions fueling conspiracy theories.

They also dig into the political battle over Charlie Kirk’s legacy, the push by some to elevate Ben Shapiro, and Steve Bannon’s endorsement of Erica Kirk as the rightful heir to TPUSA’s mission. Beyond the assassination, the show covers Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Memphis, Hunter Biden’s legal battles, and new doubts about Trump’s supposed signature in Epstein’s “birthday book.” With skepticism, sharp analysis, and plenty of fire, this episode captures a movement wrestling with grief, distrust, and the fight to control the narrative.
