Badlands Daily: May 12, 2025 – Pharma Bombshell, ICE Facility Mayhem, and Trump’s Peace Blitz

In this jam-packed episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine recap an explosive weekend of geopolitical maneuvers, domestic drama, and policy bombshells. Kicking off with Trump’s massive executive order to slash prescription drug prices, the hosts break down how “most favored nation” pricing could collapse Big Pharma’s profit model and reshape U.S. healthcare forever.

But the chaos doesn’t stop there, things heat up as they cover a Democrat-led insurrection at an ICE detention facility, complete with congressmembers pushing past federal officers and body-slamming staff. They compare the media's silence to the J6 hysteria, exposing blatant double standards and growing left-wing desperation.

The duo dives into global updates, from Trump’s peace push in Ukraine and a historic India-Pakistan ceasefire to renewed Iran nuclear talks and Saudi Arabia’s potential civil nuclear deal. They explore the possible recognition of a Palestinian state and what that could mean for Netanyahu and the Abraham Accords. Add in Macron’s suspected coke spoon, Zelensky’s backwards pants, and a vanished witness in the Diddy trial, and you’ve got an episode that’s part war room, part wild ride.

From collapsing narratives to rising coalitions, this is the show that tracks the real-time shift of power from the global elite to the people, with just the right dose of humor and side-eye.
