Badlands Daily: 12/2/25 – Tariffs, SNAP Fraud, Media Meltdowns, and the New Geopolitical Chessboard

CannCon and Ghost break down Trump’s surging tariff revenue and what it means for taxes, trade, and the global balance of power. They dig into explosive SNAP fraud data showing thousands of liquor and smoke shops approved for EBT under Biden, exposing how the system has been weaponized and why accountability is nonexistent. The hosts torch the media meltdown over Trump’s new “media bias monitor,” react to DOJ overreach and lawmakers’ seized phone records, and call out the “seditious six” pushing dangerous messaging to the military. The episode wraps with fast-moving geopolitics, from Venezuela and cartel corruption to Ukraine’s reckless drone strikes near Turkey, showing how global narratives are shifting in real time.
