Badlands Daily: 8/10/26 - Air Force One's Canary Trap, Senate Recess & DSA's Radical Platform

CannCon and Zak Paine open with a follow up on the Air Force One missile capability story, connecting it to a possible canary trap and predicting some accountability is coming for whoever leaked it. From there they play a clip of President Trump weighing in on John Thune's future as Senate Majority Leader before turning their frustration toward the Senate voting to leave for a 40 day recess without resolving the Attorney General confirmation fight, leaving Trump without the recess appointment option he needed. Marsha Blackburn's Tennessee governor primary run gets a look too. The back half is a deep dive into the national DSA platform itself, walking through eyebrow raising planks like defunding the Department of Defense, abolishing the Senate, and granting blanket amnesty, positions the hosts expect to hear a lot more about heading into the fall. A busy Monday show.
