Badlands Daily: April 21, 2025 – Papal Power Plays, Supreme Court Shenanigans, and the Ammo-Packed Border Plot

04/21/25 • 104 min

CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine team up for a thunderous Monday edition of Badlands Daily, tackling everything from papal death conspiracies to political subversion wrapped in robes and robes of court drama. They kick off with a fiery breakdown of the death of Pope Francis, just after meeting JD Vance, and draw suspicious parallels between the Vatican shake-up and Klaus Schwab stepping down from the World Economic Forum... both at age 88. Coincidence, or coded message?

The hosts dig deep into a jaw-dropping Supreme Court ruling that halted the deportation of gang-linked migrants in the dead of night, triggering blistering dissents from Justices Alito and Thomas. CannCon and Zak speculate this may be more than judicial overreach, it could be the tip of a larger iceberg involving secret interrogations in El Salvador, foreign subversion, and an unraveling immigration narrative.

Also on deck: a judge in New Mexico caught harboring a gang-affiliated illegal immigrant with firearms, 180,000 rounds of ammo found in a van driven by two Mexican nationals, and the twisted irony of Biden’s Easter Photoshop fail. From Trump's savage holiday Truths to the implosion of Jamie Raskin’s globalist dreams and Kamala’s polling plunge, this episode delivers chaos, comedy, and clarity in classic Badlands fashion.

RattlerGator Report: April 21, 2025 – Supreme Setups, Trump’s Trap Playbook, and the End of the Globalist Illusion

In this freewheeling and unfiltered episode of the RattlerGator Report, J.B. White powers through technical chaos and a dying laptop battery to deliver a masterclass in pattern recognition and narrative warfare. From the opening moments, JB frames the episode as an improvised spiritual and geopolitical jam session, ripping into Supreme Court rulings, the Trump team’s long-game strategy, and the deep-rooted corruption infecting America’s legal and medical establishments.

He dissects the recent SCOTUS decision with surgical insight, warning that the majority’s stance may not be what it seems. Could Alito and Thomas’s dissent be part of a deeper setup designed to bait corrupt actors into exposing themselves? JB thinks so, and he connects the dots to a larger Trumpian playbook built on chaos, traps, and narrative asymmetry.

The episode covers China’s economic bluff, India’s rising strategic value, JD Vance’s unexpected Vatican visit, General Flynn’s call for accountability, and the illusion of BRICS as a serious rival to U.S. dominance. JB also champions Trump’s use of stablecoins and BitBonds to sidestep globalist financial control, predicts a major inflection point by June 2026, and calls for unwavering support of Trump’s appointed team.

From the Pope’s untimely death to legal profession rot and the collapse of COVID-era illusions, JB lays it all bare, raw, righteous, and ready for battle.

The Daily Herold: April 21, 2025 – SCOTUS Showdown, Vatican Vacancies, and Trump’s Economic Takedown

Jon Herold returns from a brief but much-needed mental reset with a jam-packed episode of The Daily Herold, diving into a whirlwind of legal, political, and financial chaos. He opens with the biggest bombshell of the weekend: the Supreme Court’s unprecedented 1 a.m. order halting deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. Herold and legal analyst Ashe in America sound the alarm on what may be a full-blown constitutional crisis, as the ACLU pressures SCOTUS to intervene directly in immigration enforcement. If the court grants their latest request, Ashe warns, it may officially cross the line into illegitimacy.

From there, Herold unpacks the suspiciously timed death of Pope Francis just one day after meeting JD Vance, jokes about papal politics aside. He pairs that with Klaus Schwab’s long-teased resignation from the WEF and speculates about a possible global narrative shift. He also covers major moves inside Trump’s national security team, particularly the return of deep-state slayer Derek Harvey to the NSC, and hints that Ezra Cohen-Watnick may be next.

Meanwhile, Trump’s financial shake-up is in full swing: Powell may be on the way out, the dollar is dropping, gold and Bitcoin are soaring, and Trump’s tariff-fueled export strategy is triggering controlled economic chaos by design. Plus: RFK assassination files go public, the DOJ quietly edits Biden transcripts, and an OnlyFans congress scandal gets weirder.

Constitutional collisions, papal power games, and 250,000 rounds of political ammo...Jon is back and firing on all cylinders.
