CannCon and Ashe in America tackle Chapter 8 of The Fourth Turning, diving into the unraveling era of 1984–2005 and the rise of America’s culture wars. They explore how Reagan’s “Morning in America” optimism masked deep societal fragmentation, from Apple’s 1984 Super Bowl ad to the rise of niche identities and the collapse of shared civic trust. The conversation tracks how Americans shifted from collective institutions to personal fulfillment, spawning tribalism, declining faith in government, and the birth of a politics of meaning. From the O.J. Simpson trial to the Oklahoma City bombing, the chapter reveals how conspiracy theories, cultural clashes, and moral polarization redefined the era. CannCon and Ashe break down the generational archetypes, Silent, Boomer, Gen X, Millennial, and how each played a role in America’s unraveling, setting the stage for the crises to come. With sharp insight and humor, they connect Strauss and Howe’s theory to today’s chaos, asking what lessons the unraveling holds for the storm ahead.

In this episode of Badlands Book Club, Ashe in America and CannCon tackle Chapter 7 of Overruled, where Gorsuch and Nitze dissect the blurred lines between Congress, the executive branch, and the ever-expanding regulatory state. Ashe breaks down how Congress has increasingly outsourced lawmaking to unelected bureaucrats, creating an alphabet soup of agencies that operate outside traditional checks and balances. CannCon raises the question of accountability, especially as courts defer to agency interpretations in the absence of clear laws. They explore how political cowardice and convenience have allowed regulatory bodies to become the de facto lawmakers of the land, with little regard for voter input or constitutional limits. With personal anecdotes, sharp legal observations, and timely parallels to current political dynamics, Ashe and CannCon spotlight how the separation of powers has eroded, and what it will take to rein it back in.

In this episode of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America explore Chapter 6 of Overruled by Justice Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze, delving into the tension between ordered liberty and oppressive regulation. They highlight stories of ordinary Americans, foster parents sidelined over faith, hair braiders and eyebrow threaders crushed by arbitrary licensing laws, and recovering addicts devastated by pandemic isolation. The reading underscores how overreaching rules, from cosmetology mandates to emergency COVID edicts, systematically erode community bonds and self-reliance. The hosts reflect on the paradox of laws meant to protect freedom but increasingly used to control dissent, shut down small businesses, and undermine civic trust. Drawing connections to modern ideological warfare and the deliberate centralization of authority, they share frustrations and cautionary lessons. The conversation closes with a call to reclaim sovereignty by resisting demoralization, defending the right to associate, and standing firm against bureaucratic overreach.

In this episode, Ashe in America and CannCon continue their deep dive into Overruled, focusing exclusively on Chapter 5, “The Forgotten Americans.” The reading unpacks how America’s sprawling regulatory state punishes the poor, religious minorities, and small businesses while favoring entrenched corporate interests. Listeners hear the story of Amish families in Minnesota forced into years of litigation over septic system mandates that violated their faith, and the monks of St. Joseph Abbey, who battled Louisiana regulators just to sell handmade caskets. The discussion draws striking parallels to today’s economic landscape, where overregulation crushes small farmers and fishermen, fueling consolidation and dependency. Ashe and CannCon reflect on James Madison’s warnings about endless laws eroding liberty and fairness, and explore how COVID-19 policies accelerated these dynamics, destroying thousands of small businesses while enriching mega-corporations. They close by brainstorming the next book selection and encouraging the audience to suggest titles, all while sharing plenty of banter about the absurdities of modern compliance culture and the unintended consequences of bureaucratic control.

In this episode of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America tackle Chapter 4 of Overruled by Justice Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze, titled “Sword of Damocles.” The hosts dive into the story of racing legend Bobby Unser, who survived a deadly snowstorm only to be charged as a federal criminal for straying onto protected land. They explore how this case, and dozens like it, illustrate the explosive growth of federal criminal law, the erosion of mens rea standards, and the weaponization of vague regulations. Ashe and CannCon highlight shocking examples of ordinary Americans criminalized for minor infractions, from orchid collectors to schoolchildren charged over harmless pranks. The conversation also touches on the Supreme Court’s weakening of the rule of lenity, the explosion of plea bargains replacing jury trials, and the unchecked power of bureaucracies to write laws ordinary citizens can’t even locate, let alone understand. Drawing parallels to the January 6 prosecutions, they warn about a justice system that has become an engine of coercion rather than accountability. This is a sobering, detailed look at the hidden architecture of modern tyranny, one regulation at a time.

CannCon and Ashe in America dig into Chapter 3 of Overruled by Justice Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze, titled “Bureaucracy Unbound.” From absurd federal overreach involving magician rabbits and Hemingway’s six-toed cats to the unchecked power of unelected regulators, this chapter is a scathing critique of the modern administrative state. The hosts unpack Gorsuch’s legal insights and historical context, highlighting how agencies now blur the lines between legislative, executive, and judicial powers.

In Episode 10 of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America tackle Chapters 17 and 18 of Government Gangsters by Kash Patel, delivering one of the most explosive episodes to date. The discussion centers on January 6th, from Kash’s firsthand account inside the Pentagon to the legal gymnastics used to sustain the insurrection narrative. The hosts highlight Trump’s pre-event authorization of up to 20,000 National Guard troops, Muriel Bowser’s signed rejection of federal support, and how Pelosi’s team refused help—all while later demanding tanks and blaming Trump for the breach. They dig into the Justice Manual’s pivotal role in DOJ weaponization, the unconstitutional detainment of J6 protesters, and the shameless show trial tactics of the January 6th Committee. With analysis of political prisoners, Ray Epps, Raytheon-funded riots, and the AutoPen pardon scandal, this episode is a masterclass in exposing narrative warfare. Ashe and CannCon close with reflections on the broader implications for the America First movement and what's next in the unraveling of deep state protection schemes. A must-watch for anyone serious about justice, truth, and restoring constitutional accountability.

In Episode 9 of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America dive into Chapters 15 and 16 of Kash Patel’s Government Gangsters, which deliver a blistering exposé of corruption, insubordination, and globalist entrenchment inside the Department of Defense. Patel recounts his time as Chief of Staff at the DoD under Trump, detailing how a hostile bureaucracy, a corrupt officer class, and unconstitutional overreach by figures like General Mark Milley subverted the president’s chain of command and sabotaged efforts to end America’s forever wars. The episode covers Trump’s conditions-based withdrawal from Afghanistan, the strategic importance of Bagram Airfield, and Biden’s catastrophic reversal that led to chaos, death, and disgrace. CannCon and Ashe unpack Patel’s firsthand account of how Milley illegally positioned himself as operational authority and even warned China, an act they unequivocally call treason. Ashe draws connections between Patel’s reform blueprint and Trump’s current moves to dismantle globalist influence inside the military and reestablish civilian control. The duo also tackles the revolving door between the Pentagon and defense contractors, exposes the wasteful corruption of military procurement, and calls for abolishing offices like Net Assessment, which secretly funded Russiagate architect Stefan Halper. Packed with raw emotion, military insight, and real-time geopolitical parallels to Trump’s recent Middle East diplomacy, this episode underscores the stakes of 2025.

In Episode 8 of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America dive deep into Chapters 13 and 14 of Kash Patel’s Government Gangsters, exposing the entrenched rot of the intelligence community and the Department of Defense. The episode begins with a fiery discussion on the importance of Ed Martin’s confirmation as U.S. Attorney for D.C., a critical position that could redefine the future of high-profile prosecutions, and highlights how entrenched bureaucratic rules are designed to stall reform and protect regime loyalists. As they move into Patel’s account of his time at ODNI and the DoD, CannCon and Ashe explore how bloated staffing, classification abuse, and agency rivalry prevent transparency and obstruct presidential authority. They examine the centralization of intelligence under ODNI and the dangerous “stovepiping” that keeps key information siloed. Kash’s recommendations, streamlining personnel, establishing accountability, and overhauling classification systems, spark further debate about whether General Flynn could soon be leading those reforms. In Chapter 14, the spotlight shifts to the Pentagon, where Kash reveals the incestuous relationship between senior military brass and defense contractors. From generals lobbying for wars they later profit from, to Trump’s battles with Secretary Esper, and the eventual appointment of Chris Miller, this chapter outlines how Trump’s final 72 days were spent racing to dismantle the Defense Industrial Complex. A must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the real war behind the wars.

In Episode 7 of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America dive into Chapters 12 & 13 of Government Gangsters by Kash Patel, exploring the deep state's calculated takedown of General Michael Flynn. They walk through the unjust prosecution, overclassification tactics, and blatant corruption that plagued the early days of Trump’s first term. From FBI entrapment and Lisa Page’s doctored 302s to Flynn’s forced guilty plea under threats to his family, this chapter exposes the raw abuse of power within the intelligence community. CannCon and Ashe also reflect on their personal experiences with redacted records and government obfuscation, offering firsthand insight into how classification is often weaponized to protect the corrupt rather than national security. They break down the broader implications of unchecked intelligence agencies, highlight Kash Patel’s pivotal role in declassification, and emphasize the need for severe accountability across DOJ, FBI, and ODNI. Packed with outrage, black humor, and real-world context, this episode is both a sobering reminder of past injustices and a hopeful glimpse at what could be different in Trump’s second term. Whether you're new to the Flynn saga or revisiting it with fresh eyes, this is a must-listen installment that pulls no punches.

In this riveting installment of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America dig into Chapters 10 and 11 of Government Gangsters by Kash Patel, peeling back the curtain on one of the Trump administration’s most iconic military wins, the raid that eliminated ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, and the bureaucratic sabotage that constantly threatened to derail victories like it. Chapter 10, “The Good,” showcases the bold operation in Syria, from Patel’s behind-the-scenes work to the last-minute tension with Russia and the iconic “level that thing” moment ordered by Trump. The hosts analyze the raid’s execution, the shady absences of Gina Haspel, and Mark Esper’s bizarre uninvited arrival. They spotlight how President Trump empowered decisive action while dodging a minefield of leakers, bad actors, and intelligence community obstruction. Chapter 11, “The Bad,” contrasts this success with deep state slow-walking, stonewalling, and silent insubordination. From Trump’s push for declassification to Patel’s battles with Coats, Haspel, and Esper, the chapter reads like a playbook on how the administrative state resisted Trump at every turn, and how Patel fought back with grit and tactical precision. From real-time analysis to poignant reflections on Trump’s leadership style, Melania’s surprising behind-the-scenes role, and the intelligence community’s ongoing duplicity, this episode delivers insight, fire, and fierce optimism for what comes next.

In this no-holds-barred installment of Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America dive headfirst into Chapters 8 and 9 of Government Gangsters by Kash Patel, unpacking one of the most explosive blueprints for deep state destruction ever put to print. From dismantling the FBI’s corrupt Washington command structure to exposing the FISA Court’s Kafkaesque abuses, this episode is packed with firepower. Ashe and Cann explore Patel’s proposed reforms for congressional oversight, special counsel restructuring, and decentralizing FBI power to prevent political capture. They dig into Patel’s takedown of DOJ jurisdiction shopping and the weaponization of the General Counsel’s office, all while tying in real-time moves in D.C., including Ed Martin’s nomination and Dan Bongino’s cryptic call for patience. But the heat doesn’t stop there. Chapter 9 jumps into Patel’s firsthand account of the first Trump impeachment, blowing up the media narrative with facts, sworn testimony, and stunning insight into how the deep state used projection, lies, and backchannel gossip to smear a president, and implicate Patel himself. It’s not just history...it’s a playbook, and the Badlands crew lays it all bare. Part history lesson, part strategy session, this episode makes one thing clear: we’re not just reading a book, we’re watching a regime collapse in real time.

In this explosive installment of the Badlands Book Club, CannCon and Ashe in America tackle Chapters 6 & 7 of Government Gangsters by Kash Patel, two of the most shocking and revealing chapters yet. From the weaponization of the FBI against Trump to the inner workings of the Russiagate cover-up, they lay out the corruption that poisoned America’s most powerful institutions. Ashe and CannCon break down how the Nunes memo landed like a bombshell, exposing the FBI’s coordinated campaign of lies, and how Adam Schiff and friends responded with media smears, personal attacks, and targeted disinformation. They also dive deep into the infamous Mar-a-Lago raid, unpacking how the same Deep State players from Russiagate resurfaced to protect their secrets and bury the truth. The crew explores how declassified documents were buried, how the raid was used to seize the Crossfire Hurricane files, and why all roads lead back to the Obama-era intelligence infrastructure. With powerful sidebars on election strategy, midterm timing, and the constitutional authority of the presidency, Ashe and CannCon connect Patel’s revelations to the bigger picture: how this all ends, and why the American people must win. Part history lesson, part strategy session, this episode makes one thing clear: we’re not just reading a book, we’re watching a regime collapse in real time.

CannCon and Ashe in America return for Chapters 4 & 5 of Government Gangsters by Kash Patel, and this one’s a scorcher. With Russiagate back in the headlines, the timing couldn’t be better as the duo unpacks “Objective Medusa”, Kash’s inside account of how the deep state weaponized the FBI to take down Trump. From Stzrok and Page’s infamous “insurance policy” to Michael Sussmann’s $8 thumb drive of fabricated Alpha Bank claims, every page is loaded with corruption, cover-ups, and circular reporting loops involving Fusion GPS, Bruce Ohr, and the Clinton campaign. Along the way, Ashe and CannCon drop fresh commentary on SignalGate, classified document games, and the media’s role in manufacturing the lie, and they draw parallels to their own lived experience battling lawfare and government obstruction. Equal parts fury and fun, this episode is a blistering read-along you won’t want to miss.

Ashe in America and CannCon crack open Chapters 2 and 3 of Government Gangsters, uncovering shocking connections between the Benghazi cover-up, selective prosecutions, and the real roots of the deep state’s grip on justice. From Kash Patel’s courtroom showdowns and DOJ sabotage to the weaponization of the judiciary and the truth behind SignalGate, this episode hits harder than a redacted Special Forces op. Throw in a few spicy sidebars on failed upward mobility, the FBI’s greatest hits, and Epstein theories, and you’ve got a book club like no other.
