Badlands Daily: Feb. 24, 2025 - Kash Patel’s FBI Purge, ATF on the Chopping Block & Trump’s War on Fake News

CannCon and Absolute1776 break down the latest FBI power shift as Kash Patel gets to work cleaning house, sending 1,500 staffers out of D.C. and back into the field. Meanwhile, he’s also been tapped to lead the ATF, setting off speculation that Trump might be planning to dismantle it entirely. Gun rights groups are cheering, left-wing activists are panicking, and the 2A community is watching closely.

Meanwhile, Trump takes a wrecking ball to fake news, calling out MSNBC’s tanking ratings as Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, and now Lester Holt get the boot. The media’s propaganda machine is imploding, and the firings aren’t stopping there.

Also in this episode: Biden’s border policies collapse as migrant shelters shut down, Trump pulls $80 million in funding from NYC’s illegal alien hotels, and the DOJ goes after Medicare fraud at UnitedHealth. Plus, Elon Musk’s ultimatum to federal employees: prove you’re working or consider yourself resigned. The Deep State is scrambling, the winning continues!
