Badlands Daily: 6/23/26 - DEA Let Fentanyl Flow, Pulte Fires Away, Colombia Psyop

CannCon and Ghost open the final show before GART week in Deadwood with a Tuesday packed with stories that connect in ways most people are not seeing. An AP investigation with a named whistleblower reveals the DEA knowingly allowed 74,000 fentanyl pills to flood New Mexico between 2023 and 2025 to catch bigger fish while running the "one pill can kill" public campaign at the same time. Bill Pulte walks into ODNI and CNN immediately runs a smear piece while Letitia James attacks his qualifications despite simultaneously backing Jay Clayton, who has identical gaps in intelligence experience. Ghost and CannCon apply the white hat versus black hat framework and explain why neither applies: incentive-based leverage is how this operation actually works. A federal judge blocks the SAVE database cross-referencing Social Security and citizenship data, and CannCon asks the only relevant question: who issues your Social Security number and who determines citizenship status? In geopolitics, Ghost delivers a layered breakdown of Colombia's contested election, tracing the Alex Saab connection to De La Espriella, the Smartmatic globalist pivot of 2014, and why Hispanic neocon Republicans are backing a Maduro ally while publicly opposing Maduro. A viral JD Vance Qatar slight gets debunked with the full video.
