Episode Details

Jon Herold spends most of hump day addressing what he sees as a recurring pattern of election season "struggle sessions," where some in the Q community accuse Badlands hosts, and shipwreck in particular, of being traitors for questioning whether voting fixes a system they believe is fraudulent. He reads his own viral morning post in full, walks through a pointed rebuttal from a critic line by line, and argues that demanding ideological conformity around voting contradicts the Founding Fathers' actual example of declaring a corrupt system illegitimate rather than working within it. He also announces a new upcoming Badlands show called "Life in the Singularity" hosted by Matt McDonagh, launching October 1st. Other quick hits include a hacking group claiming to have breached FBI personnel data, a lawsuit alleging embezzlement at a firm managing Trump's social accounts, and Zelensky signaling openness to direct talks with Putin. Sponsor reads and a preview of tonight's Power Hour round out a fiery, opinionated Wednesday show.
