On this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America open with the shocking fallout from the DC National Guard ambush, tracking new details about the suspect’s CIA-linked Afghan Special Forces past and the unexplained inconsistencies surrounding his motives, background, and timeline. They dig into Alyssa Slotkin’s inflammatory rhetoric, the Seditious Six, and the broader implications of foreign-trained operatives embedded across the U.S. The conversation expands into Biden’s disastrous Afghan withdrawal, the flood of unvetted migrants, and Trump’s forceful response — including his order for a rigorous re-examination of green cards from countries of concern and his fiery Thanksgiving message promising a permanent immigration pause. From cartel-linked drug routes to geopolitical shifts in Ukraine peace negotiations and the China-Taiwan dynamic, the hosts connect how global power struggles, intelligence operations, and domestic instability are colliding in real time.
