Badlands Daily: 8/13/26 - SPLC's RICO Bombshell, Canary Trap Vindicated & Kornacki's Meltdown

CannCon and Alpha Warrior dig deep into a genuinely stunning federal case against the Southern Poverty Law Center, walking through allegations of a secretive internal unit literally named after the CIA that ran informants, funneled donor money to people inside hate groups, and even broke into a target's headquarters to copy documents before sneaking them back. They connect the dots to a broader RICO strategy that could unravel a whole network of NGOs. From there Alpha gets to say I told you so as a prior prediction about a high ranking military firing tied to the Air Force One canary trap story turns out to be spot on. They also revisit Wisconsin's ongoing election chaos with fresh Steve Kornacki meltdown clips and a Ron Johnson update on the Fauci saga. A dense, energetic Wednesday show.
