Badlands Daily: June 23, 2025 – Trump’s Iran Strike, Narrative Fallout & Controlled Collapse

On this episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak Paine dive into the geopolitical and narrative shockwave triggered by President Trump’s confirmed military strike on Iranian targets. The hosts explore the media’s bizarre silence, the political scrambling across party lines, and the strategic timing of the operation, which followed Trump’s call for a 2020 election special prosecutor.

They dissect reactions from Trump allies and critics alike, noting how some in MAGA are struggling to reconcile the strike with their expectations. CannCon and Zak argue that the operation reveals not just Trump’s geopolitical control, but also his mastery of optics in a collapsing information environment.

The duo also touches on Hunter Biden’s legal drama, the Bidens’ increasing irrelevance, and how every piece of regime theater now serves to prop up a crumbling system. With commentary on spiritual discernment, movement fatigue, and why this moment matters more than most realize, this episode delivers hard-hitting clarity for anyone trying to make sense of the storm.
