Badlands Daily: November 17, 2025 - Ops on Ops, Epstein Fallout & The Informant Question
Description
CannCon and Zak Paine tear into a massive morning of political chaos, media spin, and narrative warfare in this loaded episode of Badlands Daily. They break down USAID-funded media collapse, the absurdity of the Epstein email frenzy, and how every “bombshell” continues to blow back on Democrats instead of Trump. As the hosts walk through Dershowitz clips, Politico narratives, Plaskett’s exposed text messages, and Trump’s pointed Truth Social posts demanding the release of Epstein files, they lay out why the story looks less like a scandal for Trump, and more like a trap sprung on his enemies.
The conversation intensifies with new hit pieces from NPR and Media Matters targeting Badlands hosts, dissecting why establishment media is suddenly panicked about the “Trump-as-informant” theory. CannCon and Zak dive into the mechanics of lawfare, DOJ maneuvers, Pam Bondi’s involvement, SDNY strategy, the unfolding J6 pipe bomber controversy, and the timing of federal investigations hinted at by Cash Patel. With humor, receipts, and sharp analysis, they expose the layers of psyops, midterm setups, and narrative control attempts swirling through the political ecosystem.
