Badlands Daily: April 16, 2025 – Tish James Under Fire, Smurfing Exposed, and the Sanctuary Cities Crackdown Begins

CannCon and Ashe in America hit the ground running in this high-octane episode of Badlands Daily, covering everything from massive voter fraud operations to elite-level legal boomerangs. First up: Letitia James. The New York Attorney General who came after Trump is now facing criminal referral herself, over alleged mortgage fraud, falsified records, and some eyebrow-raising residency claims. Ashe and CannCon dig into the legal implications and political irony, with plenty of trolling along the way.

They also blow the lid off the smurfing racket, laundered campaign donations disguised as grassroots contributions, and the shady $100 million funneling through the 1630 Fund. From weaponized ballot initiatives to ranked-choice voting manipulation, the crew exposes how the Uniparty quietly rewrites state constitutions behind closed doors.

Shifting gears, they torch the Left’s attempt to martyr an MS-13-linked illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador, as Chris Van Hollen grandstands on foreign soil. Ashe breaks down the real legal inconsistencies behind his asylum claim, while CannCon points out the media’s selective outrage over due process.

Plus: the Pentagon’s leaker problem, Musk’s silent purge of tech traitors, Zeldin’s EPA takedown, and Trump’s strategic moves to clean the Social Security database, which just might double as a covert voter roll cleanup op. This episode is packed, sharp, and not to be missed.
