Badlands Daily: 12/5/25 – J6 Pipe Bomber Caught(?), Hegseth Exonerated, Drug Boat Blown Up, Texas Map Upheld

CannCon and Chris Paul tackle a whirlwind of breaking stories, beginning with Congress’s sudden panic over AI “deepfake” election interference, a narrative they argue is designed to pre-blame Trump and justify new censorship powers. They pivot to Alabama’s border revolt, where the state vows to defend its sovereignty while DHS plays political games with illegal-immigration numbers and asylum fraud. From there, they break down the media’s bizarre framing of J6, the federal government’s collapsing credibility, and Kamala Harris’s strange, overly theatrical public appearances. The hosts also examine Trump’s mounting pressure campaigns, the manufactured panic over tariffs, and new polling exposing how thoroughly the public has rejected legacy-media narratives. With sharp analysis, humor, and Chris Paul’s signature pattern recognition, this episode cuts through misinformation to explain what’s actually happening and why the establishment seems increasingly desperate.
