Badlands Daily: Feb. 4, 2025 - USAID Shutdown, Tariff Warfare & The Deep State’s Meltdown

The hits just keep coming, and today on Badlands Daily, CannCon and GhostofBPH break down the absolute carnage unfolding in D.C. as Trump and his band of efficiency autists continue dismantling the deep state in real time. USAID is dead, and the swamp creatures are losing their minds—cue the fake tears from Chuck Schumer and Ilhan Omar as they pretend defunding money-laundering NGOs is actually about feeding children.

Meanwhile, Mexico arrests a top cartel leader, Trudeau bends the knee on border security, and El Salvador offers to take America’s violent criminals off our hands—for a small fee. Oh, and the FBI? They’re in full panic mode as mass firings and investigations expose the rot at every level.

Also on deck: Trump’s Sovereign Wealth Fund power move, China threatening to sue over tariffs (LOL), and Elon Musk casually confirming that Doge is running D.C. on a 120-hour workweek while bureaucrats cry over their 40-hour shifts.

It’s all happening, and we’re here for every glorious second of it. Buckle up!
