About this listen
In this March 4 episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America open with a lively morning conversation that quickly moves into the bigger geopolitical picture shaping the headlines. The hosts examine President Trump’s efforts to rebalance global trade and what that means for American workers, while also exploring how entrenched power structures react when their leverage starts slipping.
From there, the discussion shifts toward the concept of color revolutions and how intelligence networks historically destabilize societies by exploiting political tensions and media narratives. CannCon and Ashe connect those tactics to the current information environment, asking whether some of today’s domestic turmoil mirrors strategies used abroad.
The episode also digs into polling narratives surrounding Trump’s State of the Union and the reliability of political polling in general. With their usual mix of humor, skepticism, and strategic analysis, the hosts encourage listeners to step back from the emotional headlines and think critically about how narratives are constructed and deployed.
