Badlands Daily: 4/13/26 - Ukraine Plot, Amnesty Fight, Iran Escalation

Zak Paine and Ghost fill in on Badlands Daily and cover a packed Monday show that moves from GART reflections into deep state intrigue, domestic political scandal, and rising geopolitical tension. They break down newly released material tied to the 2019 Ukraine impeachment, arguing it exposes coordinated intelligence community misconduct and renewed questions around Eric Ciaramella, Adam Schiff, Vindman, and Tulsi Gabbard’s document release.

The conversation then turns to Eric Swalwell’s campaign collapse, the Dignity Act fight over immigration amnesty, and a wider warning about controlled opposition inside the GOP. In the final stretch, they tackle Trump’s Iran strategy, NATO’s failures, and escalating conflict in Lebanon, including concern over attacks on Christian sites.
