Badlands Media - Badlands Book Club: Stolen Elections Finale

Episode Date: April 22, 2026

CannCon, Ashe in America, and Colonel Towner Watkins wrap up Ralph Pizzullo's Stolen Elections and they are not holding back. The crew digs into the book's most explosive update yet: CIA collusion in election theft, Chinese components baked into voting machines, and a fake ID scheme tied to mail-in ballot fraud. Virginia's sneaky redistricting ballot language gets called out for the psychological manipulation it is. J. Alex Halderman gets the controlled opposition treatment he deserves. And Olivetti's shadowy ties to IBM, JPMorgan, Operation Gladio, and the mafia add a whole new layer to the Smartmatic origin story. The verdict? Decentralize elections, prosecute the Americans involved, and maybe burn the book on the way out. Next up: Creature from Jekyll Island. You voted. We move on.

The Badlands, what are the Badlands? Explain those Badlands. That's a hell of their name. Hey and good afternoon, good evening, something along those lines to everybody out there. Welcome to Badlands Book Club, and we are going to finish this book and put it to bed. Once and for all, whether we get there or not today is the last day. We are calling it. Ash called it, actually. So it's happening. I'm throwing her under. We totally had a decision-making process. And that throw-away conned that.

No, I'm not. No take-backs, Brian. The decision-making process was Ash said, we're finishing this book today. And I said, we have 32 pages to go. And she's like, we're finishing it today. And I said, okay. That was. And her agreed with me.

Well, okay, the women. She outranks me. So she knows that she can flip her out. And I seconded Ash's. That's right. Proposal. She can It's the right decision.

Okay. But yeah. Did we decide are we doing a creature from Jekyll Island next? I thought we were doing license to lie next. Oh. But we can do we can do creature. We're talking about it offline and we still have to reach out to the author and see if the whistle boys want to come on the show and hash this out.

We don't know if that'll happen or not, but I will make that call. It would be great if it did. Well, they're going to be really pissed off. because I don't know if you saw this, but the National Intelligence Council has refuted their claims. No. Kind of. I mean. Yeah, I can't believe it.

Look at this section right here, starting right here. Read that. Make it. You got to make it bigger. That's what she said. We assess that adversaries could also make false claims about their ability to manipulate U.S. election infrastructure as part of a broader effort to undermine confidence in U.S. democratic processes. Much of the voting public probably knows little about the process of administering U.S. elections, not our audience, which could allow false narratives to gain traction.

Government efforts to investigate and publicly invalidate such claims could take weeks or months providing time for concerns about election security to spread. Disproving claims would also be impossible if adversaries evaded U.S. intelligence collection. Weeks or months, you say. Yeah, so, you know, that's saying. that the adversaries would say that they rigged our elections. So like in this case, I guess Venezuela would have to come out outright and say, we write rigged your elections. What does it, what does the intelligence community have to say about intelligence community assets claiming foreign adversaries rigged our elections? I mean, I think they just said it in that statement,

didn't they? Well, it's the inverse. It's, it's the foreign country saying that they rigged our elections. And then it would be so difficult for them to disprove or prove. I would argue that if the intelligence assets that we are talking about are working on behalf of globalism and the expansion of globalism than they are foreign adversaries. Okay. I could get behind that. I could get behind that. Yeah, so somebody in the chat, hold on.

I didn't have it pulled up, but I saw it. J. Teeter Brun said, what books is next for the Badlands Book Club? And, uh, hmm. The schedule for this show says starting 318. Is that true? What? It doesn't? It says

Oh, it says it was I mean, gangsters still. Yeah, that was that was March 18th of last year, like of 2025. Yeah,

it's stolen elections. I'm looking at it right now. So we actually, we can put up a poll, Ash. Oh yeah. You want to do that? Poll the audience.

Yeah, put up a on it. And so we're looking at, I say, licensed to lie by Sidney Powell. And Ash says, creature from Jekyll Island, which is all about the creation of the Federal Reserve. So either one would be fantastic.

It's been two decades since I read Creature from Jekyll Island, and I do not remember, like, I didn't have the same context that I have now. So that would be fantastic, too. You weren't wearing your gladio glasses back then. I did not have gladio glasses. I did not have any glasses. I still don't have glasses technically, but my gladios sunglasses, which are around here somewhere. I think they're downstairs, actually.

So we will put up that poll and you guys will see in the chat it will pop up and you will be able to type a number in the chat corresponding to the choice that you would like. There you go. One is licensed to lie. Two is the creature from Jekyll Island. And while we are letting all that happen, let's go ahead and hit our sponsors.

No. So you didn't, did you see what they're doing in Virginia? No. So you know how they're voting for the, for the redistricting? Did you see how it's worded on the ballot? No. Look at this. This is how it reads on the ballot.

Question, should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections? What? What does that mean? What is fairness? Exactly. How many new congressional districts? How do they get to decide that? Isn't that the, isn't it capped? Well, no, they're gerrymandering. They're redistricting. But who who determines what's restoring fairness? Well, the actual keyword to me was temporary. Well, that, yeah. Have you ever seen the government do anything temporarily?

No. There's multiple aspects of that statement that sound unconstitutional. Yes. Me and Ghost talked about it this morning and the temporarily was something we brought up, but the restore fairness to me is the worst because that is discriminating against a no vote. So if you vote, no, you don't want fairness in your elections. Yeah. It's a psychological wording.

of a referendum to achieve a particular outcome. And not only this, wait till you hear this, the quote unquote fairness that they want to restore, if their district lines are put in, Virginia becomes a 10 Democrat seat state to one Republican state in a state that Kamala Harris won 51% to 46%. So almost a 50-50 state and restoring fairness means 10%. Democrat seats and one Republican seat. So the people of Virginia, I have a question for you. I don't know if we have any in the chat, as Bunny here. So here in Colorado, if you're doing a ballot measure, right, there's the title committee it has to go through and that usually takes two or three rounds because of

the specific unique titling that has to be done on different types of bills, single issue, all these kinds of things. Are there no parameters to ballot measures in the state of Virginia where you can put, we're going to temporarily add new Congress people so that we can be more fair before the 2030 census? Like what is that? How does that get through to the point where it's on the ballot? How does that wording that?

I live in the communist country of Colorado where they exploit everything they can and they can't do this. Well, so they're not adding new congressional districts. They're just redistricting them temporarily to adopt. Stopped new congressional districts just means realign them. Yes. They only have 11. They're only going to have 11.

But right now it's pretty fairly split. And this would make it 10 to 1. It's 6 to 5 right now, which is in line with 51 to 46. It's close to the same. And storing fairness means 10 to 1. I don't understand how anybody in the GOP allowed that to pass with that language. my position stands that that ballot wording would never have gotten through the already super relaxed process in the communist country of Colorado. Virginia should be horrified and very embarrassed.

Yes, I agree. I agree. Okay. So let's let's get into the book here. And if we're just joining us, we're voting on which book we're doing next because we have more people now and we don't have their votes. I don't think. So if you're if you're just joining us, one, if you're, you want us to do Sydney Powell's license to lie next to two if you want us to do the creature from Jekyll Island drop your number in the rumble chat okay Brian go ahead all right so we are on uh ralph

bozullos stolen elections sixth update on page 247 and uh we're just gonna we're just gonna read until the show's over and then we're going to throw the book away and uh so did we do the fifth update where they talked about okay so i just wanted to add a comment there um because they're talking about doing things in the 2024 election to shield it. Who was in charge of the government in 2024? Joe Biden. Okay. All right. Go ahead. Oh, wait. We know we are on the fifth update. Excuse me. You're correct. We're on the fifth update. I was hoping that you were going to miss that. We were just going to jump ahead a little bit. Well, that's the only comment I have on it. It wasn't information. but they make the insinuation that they guide to government officials and somehow shielded the election interference while the entire government was being ran by the Biden administration.

So it seems a little. Yeah, the only two notes that I mentioned was right under that part where they said that they stopped fraud because of the poor performance. So 246, with the help of other cybersecurity experts, the engineers were able to stop the illegal altering of election results by shutting down the servers and the criminal cartel that the criminal cartel was using in Serbia and other countries, thus preserving the integrity of the 2024 election. How did they shut that down? How did they get that type of access? And how do we know that that access has never been used before? Like if they're able to figure out how to do that, like doing fraud to stop fraud to stop fraud, you know what I'm saying? Like that doesn't make sense.

Like fraud all the way down. Exactly. It's fraud all the way down. And then at the bottom of that page, third paragraph from the bottom, we actually got a link to actual quote unquote evidence. Did you go there? No, I did not. This is the intelligence. Senate link you're talking about?

It's just a link to the actual legislation. It's not actually even like. Oh, so we're just link. Wow. Yeah. Okay. All right.

So, six update. Sources. So now, in case anybody is keeping score, the reputable sources in this book are Brian Lupo and the Senate Intelligence Committee. Yes.

Of 2015. Yes. You want to start reading? Six update is that we're at? Sure. On Monday, July 21st, 2025, a draft office of national intelligence ODNI report to be sent to the president on election fraud was forwarded to the Department of Justice for review. An officer at the end at the DOJ who had previously seen the whistleblower's findings sent the draft back to the ODNI and explained that the draft ODNI report had omitted Dominion voting systems role in the election theft and instead, focused solely on the role of the company Smartmatic and global election theft.

The individual at DOJ was well aware of Martin and Gary's findings regarding election theft and easily saw through a blatant effort of senior ODNI staff to make one last stand to protect Dominion in their insidious role in election manipulation and theft in the United States. Now this is this next paragraph. Remember a couple shows ago or maybe it was last show? I was like, I have the word the F bomb and the comment. this is the next paragraph. Yes, me too.

Should I read my comment first before I read the paragraph? No. No, okay. What is also clear is that the ODNA whitewash was designed to hide CIA involvement and collusion in election theft. Multiple members of the Venezuelan regime slash cartel who have for almost two decades directed election theft as a political weapon against the United States

have also been working simultaneously as clandestine reporting sources. of the CIA and to this day maintain clandestine contact with the US top intelligence agency. My comment in the one fucking paragraph in the entire addendum chapter and the book. So we got. Key takeaway, most important paragraph of the whole book, probably the one that I would agree with. the one paragraph in the book. Well, and so, Ash, you know from the conversation that I had that, you know, that you know that we had initially agreed that it was the CIA that was doing this, right?

And then like literally five minutes later in this conversation, I said, well, you know, we agree it's the CIA and I thought you should have. I didn't say it was the CIA. and I was you literally just not only in the book do you say it was CIA but you told me just a minute ago that it was CIA. No, I never said it was CIA. I'm like yeah, yeah, you did. Yeah, you did. And yeah, he did on page 248 in the second full paragraph.

He absolutely does. Yeah. Yeah. Well, but there's a caveat there. It's the CIA working with the Venezuelan regime. meaning Maduro. The rogue CIA. Yeah.

Which again is ridiculous on its face because the CIA in election interference has never need to work with a rogue adversary to rig elections around the world. They've rigged multiple elections over, I mean, it's well over 50. that they've interfered with, if not bought senators, bought votes, whatever, in various different ways. So even when they get to the truth, it's not the entire truth.

They're trying to roll out Maria Acuna Matata again right now. They just launched in Spain. We don't know yet, but I would assume, you know, some sort of intelligence apparatus. So on Sunday night, I was on the narrative with Beebe and him and I were talking back and forth. And we kind of came, I feel like, and I don't want to speak for him, but I feel like we came to this general consensus that the CIA was operating in Venezuela during the second Trump term here. And that Trump was operating counter to the CIA and was calling the CIA out while at the same time shoving it back. in their face by, you know, kind of giving them the removal of Maduro, even though we most of us believe Maduro was extracted, not captured. And putting Rodriguez in place is the smack back at the

CIA. And, you know, some of the evidence to that was the first Trump announcing that the CIA is operating in Venezuela. You know, that's something unheard of that a president comes out while while ongoing operations are going on. And he announces that they're operating in a country. Then on top of that, he also, you know, when there was the attack on the beachhead, President Trump comes out and says, you know, the CIA or the Navy SEALs were targeting locations and the CIA was blowing them up, which is, you know, counter to how that should actually work. CIA should be targeting and the SEALs should be blowing shit up. And so now we saw they just rolled out Machado in Spain and Ghosts showed it on Badlands Daily this morning. I was talking about it and I showed Eric Daughtry's post and how dumb his take was on this. And Ghost is like, oh, watch this.

And he just pulled up like a whole thread of, not thread, but a whole series of all of these posts saying the same exact fucking thing. Holy fucking shit. Look at Maria Carina Machado in Venezuela. 350,000 people out there to see her. And there was like 20 of them in a row. Same exact post. All of them with MAGA in the title. Like there's an op going on to get Machado installed in Venezuela.

Yeah, well, that's that was the, I mean, I think we three generally agree that that's part of like that's part of the same operation as this book being rush released at the timing that it was, right? That's there, there is a, there is a push to undermine what Trump is doing. I mean, as I understand it, Deli Rodriguez is a great friend of the United States of America and Venezuela is one of our greatest allies now. So suck it, globalists. Yep. All right. So on to the seventh update. Earlier this year, a very brave member of the U.S. DOJ seized all voting machines in a certain jurisdiction in the United States and turned them over to experts in the intelligence community for a close forensic inspection of the machines for foreign made parts and software.

I don't know what they're talking about there. I have not heard anything about the DOJ seizing all voting machines in a jurisdiction. Now we, unless they're talking Panama. It was Puerto Rico. Yeah. That's what I was going to say unless. I wrote Panama, but I meant to write Puerto Rico. Yeah, unless they're talking about Puerto Rico.

And in that case, well, it was, I mean, the FBI, I guess you could put under the DOJ umbrella, but they didn't seize them. They were given them. Yeah, but that's been lied about by everybody. I know. Puerto Rico handed them the machines and said, come look at these. Yeah. So, okay. As a result of this action and other findings, the OD&I produced this recent assessment. Foreign involvement in supply chain compromise Chinese components and voting equipment. Investigations have revealed that U.S. election equipment supply chains are deeply intertwined with foreign, especially Chinese manufacturers.

This is true across all major vendors and machine types in a House administration committee hearing on election security, the CEOs of the top three voting machine companies, Dominion, election, ESNS, and Hardin, or Civic, all conceded under oath that their machines included components made in China. They explained that certain electronic parts, chips, touch screens, etc., have no U.S. made alternatives, and thus must be sourced from China or other countries. That is bonkers. This admission is raised bipartisan alarm on Capitol Hill as it creates a supply chain vulnerability, whereby the CCP or other adversaries through subcontractors could potentially insert malware

or exploitable backdoors during the manufacturing process. Hello, CIA. Yes, we're talking about critical infrastructure. I don't care if China's the only one making it, then find another way. We would, if this was- You're talking about all of our electronics. This isn't new, Brian. No, no, no.

You've known this forever. If we had, if our nuclear, and I brought this up on my podcast, I did today on that on that report that the and I see just released if our nuclear capabilities our nuclear weapon capabilities had China components that would never happen am I am I right or am I wrong on that I mean it's probably a better question for Colonel Smith well unfortunately there are so let me just tell you a real short story in the 1980s when I was at Los Angeles Air Force Base and acquisition for space and missiles and all of that kind of stuff.

They did the space piece, the launch vehicles. You had to literally, everything had to be U.S. sourced, everything, period. One of the sole source battery suppliers for, I think it was the Titan launch vehicle, went out of business. It was the only source of batteries for that vehicle. We had to go to France. It took months and months and months and months and like four waivers in order to buy a battery from a NATO country. The fact, and we do know that we got steel for certain aircraft from China.

It came out in Trump's first administration that we were compromising navy vessels with foreign made components from China. So the entire supply chain has been sabotaged by the United States officials knowingly. So while I don't have any concrete evidence that are munition systems to include the nuclear piece of that is outsourced, I would say it almost has to be because all of the laptops and everything has Chinese components on it. That's the point. Yes. There's almost no way now to secure our supply chains in the current setting, which is why we need paper ballots. Yeah. Paper's not Chinese.

Beyond, so set aside an election, critical infrastructure more broadly, this is why, you know, U.S. chip manufacturing is important. It's why bringing the technical industries back home and training our people in America to be able to and get. That's why President Trump is accelerating in that. And that is, you know, everybody hates it, but that's part of the H-1B, you know, that he was pursuing early on, is that there is going to have to be some crossover if we're going to ignite that industry at the same time that we're training the U.S. population to be able to engage in it. But it's important to bring those things back home. But to your point, and Curle made the point I was going to make, all of these systems, whether we're talking about the batteries to run whatever systems or the, you know, the steel for the planes or the ships or whatever,

all of these systems, whether it's a ship or a plane or whatever, they're using computers. And we don't have that supply chain in America. It can't be done. As of current right now, it can't be done. We're working towards getting it there, but it can't be done. So, Brian, it's like your outrage seemed, you know, outsized for, what we know what we've known for a long time i i still would want to hear from somebody with some

insider knowledge because i just feel like there's a way that that wouldn't happen now now that's shun smith about it i will i will i will i'll ask them but that's not to say other critical infrastructure doesn't have it but my point is is that um and this is this is more in context with reading the national intelligence uh assessment today um the whole thing is like oh yeah this is easily penetrated and i'm like what what like what like what like You're acknowledging this. By the way, you censored us for a year or two years or three years for saying something like this. And the national intelligence community has been saying that for since before the election in January of 2012.

Safe is the most secure. So safe. So scary. I just want to hear of the theorists or losers. I just want to draw back the attention. This is the CIA telling us that the CCP has the potential for exploitable backdoors. There's not a single entity capability that is allowed to be patent that the CIA is to because if they can't, and this is true of all encrypted type capability,

there has been multiple patents for encryption that the CIA cannot hack, and every single one of them has been classified so that the manufacturer or the patent holder, cannot manufacture them because there's not a backdoor to them. And there's multiple examples of that. So I think it's lappable in a book basically written for the CIA to talk about CCP's capability of embedding back doors. Just kind of irony for me. Listen here, if anybody's going to be going in these back doors, it's going to be me.

Correct. All right. That's a Dave Chappelle. black white supremacist reference except he uses another word in there that i'm not going to say in 2019 a detailed analysis by a security firm in terros further quantifies the risk in one widely used u.s voting machine model 20 percent of the hardware and software components were traced to suppliers in china about 59 percent of components had origins in either china or russia these components include critical items like semiconductors and touch screen assemblies the failure subversion of

which could disrupt or manipulate the device's operation. In some cases, Chinese firms were supplying parts to intermediate suppliers, creating an opaque military tier supply chain. In effect, it is all but certain that every digital voting machine in the United States contains some Chinese manufactured electronics or code. I mean, like every computer in the United States. In my margin here, I have, this is the actual supply chain, not a finding about the supply chain. Yeah, right. I mean, Mark Cook. And the reason I'm irritated by this is everybody knows this. Not just in the context of elections.

Everybody in the technology industries knows about the supply chain for U.S. electronics. It is something that every single company bakes into their continuity plans. You know, disaster recovery and business continuity and what are we going to do if our supply chain is disrupted? These are not, this is not breaking fucking news that China runs the technology supply chain. But it, you know, the seventh update here is all, it's like how many pages? It's, this is holy. And that was nowhere else. We're going to get to the end, Brian.

We're going to skip this. This is an update. This is an update. This is a last minute update to the entire text. And we've known it for decades. Yeah. Yeah. Breaking.

You want to read the Chinese plot to manufacture votes? Do we? On 251? Yeah, might as well. You want me to read it? Sure. Chinese plot to manufacture vote. Oh, this is actually, this is decent because every, any one of these things, if true, gets us to treason against the Americans that are involved, which is what we're really looking for, is the Americans that are involved in election fraud that are knowingly and willingly engaging in the plot for election fraud.

If any one of these foreign intelligence and interference operations are true, we're at treason and the associated penalties. Beyond hardware vulnerabilities, we must confront direct interference attempts by foreign governments. Recent public disclosures leave no doubt that foreign adversaries have been actively targeting U.S. elections. Chinese plot to manufacture votes. In June 2025, a bombshell report surfaced from declassified FBI memoranda to Congress, exposing a 2020 scheme by the People's Republic of China. A confidential FBI source warned in mid-2020 that CCP, who, with shipping large quantities of fake U.S. driver's licenses into the country

intending to use them to fabricate tens of thousands of fraudulent mail-in votes for then-candidate Joe Biden. The scheme apparently aimed to exploit the expansion of mail-in ballots during the pandemic. Critically, this wasn't mere talk. U.S. Customs and Border Protection intercepted 19,88 fake IDs in a single July 2020 shipment, all destined for addresses and swing states in the Midwest. The fake licenses were sophisticated enough to fool standard ID checks. Had they been paired with counterfeit mail ballots, thousands of illegal votes could have been cast without easy detection.

The FBI deemed the report serious enough to circulate the U.S. to U.S. intelligence agencies on August 24, 2020, before it was mysteriously recalled pending a source re-interview and even marked for destruction of copies. This incident underscores China's willingness to directly subvers. our election processes in this case by exploiting male voting vulnerabilities and lacks voter identification. I thought this book was published in June of 2025, but that's kind of funny because it is in the update section.

It's like they're getting ready to hit publish. And then it's like, oh, crap, breaking news. We've got to include this breaking news that just happened. Yeah, I was reading the John Solomon report today. and I think he said it was March of 2025. So makes sense. So let me just ask a question. In order for a fake ID to be able to use for mail-in voting,

wouldn't it have to match somebody that's on the voter rolls? I'm glad you asked that because that brings me to the National Intelligence Counter Report, where it says here, voter registration databases are easily manipulatable. And not only that, they gaslight you. They gaslight themselves and say that adversaries could alter data to potentially prevent individual voters or groups of voters from voting, causing delays on election day or forcing voters to use provisional ballots. Adversaries could also use the registration data, which in some cases is also available publicly for purchase,

to tailor other interference or influence efforts. They could also add voters, however they want. And when we go back to the Doge, Social Security Administration database, 450 million people in that database, they could add whoever they want to it, and then dump them whenever they want to it. And we found out about the Connick hacks and everything else like that, or not hacks, but the conic situation.

Vulnerability doors, open doors. And yeah, and all of this, like this is actually a good addition to this book, adding that in there. To Ash's point, it requires people here to advocate for mail-in voting. Otherwise, this is not even possible. Well, I mean, the COVID-19, yes, the advocating. That's my whole point. So, yeah, the expansion of mail-in voting is what makes this a vulnerability.

Also, are there 19,888, Venezuelans that are going to use those IDs? right this is being this is being executed but maybe there's a Venezuelan or you know a handful of them involved in the plotting of how they're going to do this but the execution of this treason requires the knowing and willing participation of Americans maybe not every person was knowingly I bet they were all willingly but I think a lot of them were knowingly well and not only that I mean we've you you and I, Ash, have covered the NGOs and everything and the get out the vote efforts and just sign people up at in quantity, like mass quantity. And that's the whole point in that. It's not to, it's not to get. So, so like this, this is like a drop in the bucket of the fraud that entails

mail and voting. The mail and voting fraud is domestic, mainly domestic. Yes. Yeah. One of the topics that we've gotten more shit for than any other is that Michelle Obama is when we all, vote, which brings together all of the leftist GOTV NGOs and Scott Pressler's early vote action, no difference. Exactly the same thing, exactly the same problem. This is the we need to fight more like the left. Well, no, actually, because you're embracing the fraud and legitimizing the fraudulent tactics that are destroying the republic.

Yep. Exactly. Russia. Russia. I think we could skip that. Skip Russia. And just call out the fact that, um, Russia and China being the communist that they are,

are the ones that get called out for special recognition, not all of the other people that, yeah, so. Absolutely. Is there anything that anybody has highlighted in this? No, no. Down under, I don't even know what I, oh, Halderman. That's the next page, bottom of the next page, on the outdated software.

unpatched systems. Yeah, go ahead and let's, well, I'll read that. Outdated software and unpatched system. Many voting machines and election management systems run on antiquated software that no longer receive security updates. Security researchers have repeatedly demonstrated exploits on these systems in laboratory settings, notably a 96-page security audit by professor, Jay Alex Halterman, which was kept under court seal for two years and released in 2023, documented numerous critical vulnerabilities in the Dominion ICX ballot marking device, used in Georgia and other states. These included the ability to infect machines with malware that can spread from machine to

machine and alter votes all without detection. Georgia's secretary of state initially dismissed the findings as hypothetical, but security, cyber security experts roundly criticized that stance as, quote, the height of irresponsibility, end quote. The vulnerabilities are real and failing to fix them, quote, in perils the 2024 elections. This example highlights a broader point. Known security holes, whether in voting machines, firmware, tabulated, software or election night reporting systems often go unaddressed for years due to bureaucratic or

legal inertia every election that passes without patches is an election where adversaries have an opportunity to exploit those weaknesses why is so do we have Chinese and Russians in our bureaucratic and legal inertia no that wasn't my takeaway from that my takeaway from that was why do the Venezuelan need to exploit the patches when they design the software with the back doors and the source code they put the source code in there oh wait wait wait wait wait wait they didn't and so there are other actors outside actors that are doing this like NGOs and other groups yes yeah my biggest takeaway is that j a halterman is a hack and uh he and i was looking on your soundboard to see if you had that video of him talking about malware um but yeah he in in the wake of

the 2016 election. He was the election integrity's biggest advocate. We have Kill Chain the film. We have him doing Ted style talks, talking about the vulnerabilities. He's, you know, the darling of DefCon. Right. And then the 2020 election happened. And J. Alex Holderman, with all of that election denialing credibility, was brought out to say, well, actually, all of those vulnerabilities and the malware threat and all of those things aren't really a problem anymore because we do risk limiting audits. And we have a paper ballot. We have some sort of paper record in the majority of jurisdictions. So everything's fine now, guys, and we can totally trust it.

He is a hack. He is a political hack. And what an absolute disappointment because he actually did some work and some good work in the wake of 2016. Yeah. The main thing they said with Halterman, and this was a slight of, you know, a slight of tongue, slip of hand was he would go out and say, yes, I look. at the machine from Georgia in the 2020 election. I did my 90-6-page report, but I didn't find any evidence of fraud. And, you know, that's, that is a truthful statement. Why? Because he got the

machine before the 2020 election. So that machine wasn't used in the 2020 election. So of course there doesn't mean it wasn't used for fraud, Brian. Well, yeah, I guess. I'm, I'm sorry. I'm on team. We caught them all in 2016. So. Well, that wasn't used in 2016 in Georgia. These machines were new in 2019. It hadn't been used yet. So when, when Halderman says that, it's a factual statement.

It's a factual statement, but nobody thinks about that statement. We didn't look for, I didn't find any signs of fraud because you didn't look, because you didn't have a machine that was used in a, in a general election. So, okay,

keep going. So he's one of those guys that just says whatever's convenient to the Democrat talking point. He's one of those guys that signs on as a state's witness for the governor of Michigan. and then audits his report twice at the behest of the governor. Edits. Edits his report twice after each meeting with his client, edits his findings of his

independent audit. He's the expert that agrees with the system. Yeah. Well, you know, he's disparaged the system. No, he disparaged the system in 2016 when Trump won. It was fine in 2020 when he lost. So at the Mike Lindell trial when Halderman was on the stand, one of the most cringeworthy parts of the whole thing was when he was talking about his relationship with the plaintiff in the case, a man named, well, Eddie Coomer in part of this book, but Eric Coomer in the trial. And they talked about how the attorney and Halderman went back and forth about how he and Eric Coomer are both.

election integrity expert witnesses who have testified both on the same side of a case and on opposite sides of the case. And that's why Halterman is super credible because he was testifying on Eric Coomers side of the case. But it's not a conflict because they're both experts. And he's testified opposed to him on cases in the past. And that's how, uh, yeah, that was building his credibility for the jury. He testified opposed to him in Georgia. opposed to them. I think that's the example they gave, yeah. For the dominious update in Georgia.

So controlled opposition. Yeah. Now, reminder, that that elections expert, Eric Coomer, who is speaking as an expert on elections, was the vice president of product strategy and security for an elections company that was the sub, you know, that is the subject of legal disputes. He's slightly biased, I would say. And just to be fair, if you asked Alderman right now, should we vote on a voting machines he would say not these ones no he would say all these machines are

vulnerable now again he still does the there's no widespread fraud there's no evidence of fraud we're pretty close to the midterms i think he's i think he's going to prop up the machines if we asked him today perhaps or you ask him you ask him in you know late november december then yes he'll be on he'll be on your message again because political hack he's been pretty consistent on that i got to him that. He's been pretty consistent. On being a political hack? No, on being against the machines. I do think he's a political hack, but he has been consistent on being against the machine. No, no, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, because he has, he has, he has been consistently saying that there are vulnerabilities, but the, the, the risk profile and tolerance of that is where he changes his mind based on the political moment. And that's important. Because if sometimes they're too

vulnerable for risk limiting audits and paper ballots to overcome, then all the time they're too vulnerable for risk limiting audits and paper ballots to overcome. Yeah. Okay, read the centralized vote tabulation and reporting. What page are you on? 256. Oh, nice. Most states aggregate County results on a centralized state system on election night. These state systems, often web portals or data feeds, have been targets of cyber probing. Even if the systems themselves are not breached, hacking the associated communication, for example, a false media website or a spoofed results page, could inject disinformation. The reliance on a central hub means a single successful attack or malfunction can throw an entire state's results into question. We saw a hint of

risk in the 2020 Iowa caucus app failure. While not malicious, the single point of failure caused massive confusion. A hostile actor could seek to similarly disrupt official reporting systems. Robust contingency planning and backup reporting methods are needed. And while many states have them, not all do. How do you know whether it's malicious or not? It's never malicious in the court of law. It's always a human error and a whoopsie.

Sorry, we didn't mean. to steal democracy. Read where it says under vote administering systems vulnerable to localized elections on the right. We assess that systems designed to tabulate votes, transmit vote amounts, or display election results probably are vulnerable to localized exploitation, but would be difficult to manipulate at scale. For example, hackers have repeatedly demonstrated that some voting machines are easy to compromise. Keep going.

Direct recording electronic machines, which were, record and process votes digitally and store tabulation data in removable memory are particularly vulnerable to cyber operations, especially machines with no paper backup. See, if you add a paper backup, it makes the problem go away. That's Halderman's work right there. These machines, however, are used far less than other more secure types of voting machines. Adversaries who obtain physical access to voting machines could alter how they function, manipulate the data in them or install malware according to U.S. state and academic investigations. At the 2019 DefCon Cybersecurity Conference, hackers demonstrated the ability to compromise more than 100

voting machines, all of which have been certified for use in at least one U.S. voting jurisdiction. All right. And then this one right here, voting machine preparation. Voting machines configured at a central location are vulnerable to insider threats. No, that can't happen, Brian. How dare you? Election officials are so threatened. You can't actually question them because that's scary. Malware introduced into the voting machines during this phase might affect multiple jurisdictions,

but also would be detectable during the pre-election testing, would it? And what was the part I just read? Had you read centralized vote tabulation and reportings? Hmm. I mean, it's all right there. It's all right there. That's the solution, though, right? That's the Mark Elias pageantry of democracy.

We have to get rid of local elections and keep them all centralized in the hands of the state. No federal involvement, no local certification. The local election workers work for the state now, not the county, abandoning representation and racing towards freaking tyranny. I read that this morning. When I was reading that report, I was like, oh, my goodness, every jurisdiction now is their tabulators are centralized. They're all programmed at a central location and then they get distributed out. And many of them, not all of them. I mean, there's some small towns where they don't do that.

But yeah. And even without that centralization, they still send them out the USB cards. It's not like their, you know, their machines already loaded and all that stuff. So, all right. We have got to decentralize elections. It is the number one. Decentralization is the never you can say, which is it. What do we have to do, the voter rolls?

Are we dealing with the ballots? We're talking about paper? What are we doing? Decentralize. You have got to get back to the local communities owning and running their elections. Your vote is counted where it's cast. You and your community run your elections. It's bonkers that we are allowing this public, private scam to overthrow our nation.

And people are cheering for it. It's very sad. Oh, hey, I think I found where they cite me, actually. The bottom of 260. I love how fast you're jumping ahead. Yes. I think, I think, well, they don't cite my name in there, but they just cite the Make Election Secure Act, which is what I wrote about, which is what they. And who is, Colonel Reynolds, right, is an advocate for that. He's been an advocate for this book, I think, as well recently.

I have not seen that, but I wouldn't surprise me. I mean. Well, they're citing his work in it. I think that, you know, he's probably going to advocate. Well, that's not his work. That's Pete Sessions that wrote that bill. He's the one that, that, that, that, that, that, that I was talking to about it when I decided to write that. Is there anything else? So we're just to go through. Let's just go through the headers of what they say the biggest problems are. Okay.

So I'm going to go back to the beginning and just read through the headers. Outdated software and unpatched systems, wireless modems and internet connectivity, physical security and chain of custody gaps, centralized vote tabulation and reporting insufficient audits and testing D&I assessment on longstanding vulnerabilities finding findings transparency and public trust issues noncompliance with federal election laws violating suggesting that they're violating the uniform election day deadline for ballots

that's before the Supreme Court right now actually non-citizen voting and registration verification of citizenship. That's a save act is intended to fight that. Maintenance of accurate voter rolls, also the Save Act. This is schizophrenic. You've got like problem statements, a little bit of solutions. Now we're doing the risk analysis. Like what is impact on national stability and continuity of government? Continuity of government. You want to read this bit? Sure. Oh, am I reading it? Do you want to read this bit?

The confluence of foreign infiltration, cyber vulnerability, non-legal non-enforcement, enforcement, and transparency failures in U.S. election infrastructure poses a severe threat to national security. This threat operates on multiple levels. Direct manipulation of outcomes, number one. In the worst case scenario, adversaries could alter the results of an election by exploiting the weakness described. A determined nation state with advanced cyber capabilities like China or Russia might target a few, critical counties and swing states for instance attacking ballot scanners or tabulators with malware to shift vote tallies by a small percentage of inject or injecting forged ballots into the mail

the mail stream given the often narrow margins of our in our polarized electorate such interference could literally tip the balance of a presidential election installation of compromised hardware with hidden kill switches or logic bombs is another factor Logic bombs. I love it. They haven't defined any of these terms either. It's just this is being thrown in after the fact this is it's crazy these post book update things like how is the CIA involvement and collusion in election theft a post book update? I thought that was the premise of the whole that was full disclosure. That's pretty much

where I stopped paying attention. I've, kind of flip through the pages. I've written a couple things down here and there, but that, that was, that was the last straw for me and I'm super finished. Imagine a scenario where election day, 2026, dozens of vote counting machines in key areas suddenly malfunction or produce corrupted data due to foreign triggered payload, causing chaos, and delaying results for days. This is not beyond the realm of possibility. It is precisely, it is precisely what our adversaries have been researching, research, an undetermined election outcome would create a constitutional crisis, a lack of accepted authority, and possibly civil unrest.

That actually, hold on, that actually happened. That actually happened and it wasn't foreign influence. What were we referring to? The fact that we waited days for the end of an election. Oh, yeah, yeah. That had nothing to a foreign influence. All of them since. So it may be not the presidential, maybe not the top of the ticket.

election but it is a known like it's an accepted thing now that it used to be big big news if it was taking you know weeks to call a race that was like how is this a problem we have to fix this problem there's reforms that need to be made blah blah blah now it's just something we accept that it takes there's a house district district race down here that i think it was like December or early january before that thing was called because of the hand counts that they were doing and that was I just love the fact that they said it's not beyond the real possibilities. It happened. Yeah.

And then they censored the shit out of us so we would stop talking about it and so nobody would even think that we were talking about. On you. All shows are why we vote now. Yeah. All right. That's enough of that chapter. Subversion without detection. Delegitimizing democracy.

I don't know why I said it on that, but it was hilarious. Psychological impact. So sciops. civil unrest and fissures oh they actually mentioned colonel reynolds and will huff in this chapter but this is exactly what they're um egging on if you go back and you read this and you want to know what the cia's interference and elections do it they directly

manipulate the outcome subversion without detection delegitimize democracy and urge on civil unrest. This is the CIA's playbook. Holy shit. Like the whole rest of this relies on my reporting. Like this whole back end.

In their defense, you've covered every election story that there is. This is true. Yeah. Today when I was reading that thing, I'm like, I got to do a show on this because I can't write about it. It would be a 10,000.

word paper if I wrote everything that I was thinking. So yeah, if you've read my Mesa Act report that I wrote back in April of last year, this is pretty much the rest of this book. And it's probably based on stuff they wrote and what Colonel Reynolds has talked about. So it's probably good stuff. And I think we can put this thing to bed. All right. Here's their best practices at the state level.

pre-printed paper ballots for all voters pre-printed paper poll books hand-marked paper ballots hand-count audits of all races smaller how about it we just can't count all races smaller precincts limiting ballot commingling that's a Brian Lupo

and Sean Smith suggestion short early voting period no mailing of ballots without specific requests mandatory voter identification and eligibility verification, strict chain of custody protocols, enhanced voter list maintenance, transparency to the max. It's where they talk about where they're counting them? Because it's weird to me that we have, we're going smaller, we're going smaller precinct,

but chain of custody protocols in terms of, are we still driving ballots all over the state to count them? Are we counting them where they're cast? I don't know. They don't say. Strict chain of custody protocols, enhanced voterless maintenance, transparency to the max. For real, for real.

Training and security culture. Physical ballot security enforce cutoff dates. Tabulation and timing protocols they lay out. And then federal oversight and enforcement. And then public communication and confidence building. Let's read this. Finally, the president and DNI should communicate these actions clearly to the American people. A prime time address could be considered explaining the threats found.

For example, revealing to the extent possible the Chinese fake ID plot and the voting machine vulnerabilities, the declassified portions, to make the case that securing elections is a non-negotiable priority. By being transparent about the problems and the robust solutions being enacted, the public can be, reassured that their government is taking election security seriously. Do you guys think that's true? Do you think if they came out and they were like, listen guys, the government, so the Trump administration came out and Tulsi was there and they're like, listen guys, we found a bunch of vulnerabilities in our elections. We're going to need to, you know, implement a radical transformation to hand count, hand paper, hand, you know, paper everything. Analog elections, right? Take us back to

analog elections. Do you think that the public would be assured that their government is taking election security seriously? What percentage? I think that the majority of Americans would believe that that's a step in the right direction. Yes. Do I believe that there is a portion that would do exactly back here what the CIA has done? always in creating the opposition forces and the civil unrest. Absolutely. Yeah. I mean,

I think that the factions about the election are so entrenched at this point that the Trump administration coming out and saying, hey, we found election fraud. Here's what we're going to do. I think that the, like you said, that there's a majority of the country.

that would appreciate the measures. I think that the process through which this is being communicated emphasize that these measures are pro-democracy. They're not partisan. The goal is that every lawful vote is counted and no lawful vote dilutes the results. By executing the above recommendations, President Trump can legally implement strong election security.

I think that if you want public confidence in our elections again, the Americans are gonna have to be prosecuted. The Americans that start, So you don't, it's not, mistakes were made on all sides. Listen, it was Venezuela, guys. We just figured it out. We cracked the nut. Don't worry, we deposed Maduro.

Everything's fine now. But here's the recommendations for our new election system. It's going to be great. It's going to work fantastic. Let's just move on. Nope. There needs to be prosecutions. There must be accountability.

And there must be, what did they say, transparency to the max? That how they phrase that, there must be transparency to the max. And that includes the operations of the CIA. as it pertains to U.S. elections. I'm sad they didn't take my separating the elections thing. I want to show you something real quick, Ash. Have you seen this article yet? Yes.

I wrote, so I wrote, so there was the Southern Parliamentary Law Center this morning was talking about they were, you know, believed that they were under federal investigation and the Justice Department hadn't commented yet. Right as the show was starting, I think it was Claire Kat was like, they just indicted the SPLC. And I was like, oh, and I messaged Burning Bright, and I said, well, I'm going to update this article. SPLC is a non-profit entity that purports to fight white supremacy and racial hatred by reporting on extremist groups and conducting research to inform law enforcement within the goal of dismantling these groups, says Todd Blanche. The SPLC was not dismantling these groups. It was instead manufacturing the extremism. It purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred.

Colonel Towner, who does that sound like? The CIA. Every CIA USAID National Endowment Funded Operation Ever. If you're feeding the hungry, you're starving the shit out of people. Nonprofit 501C3, Southern Poverty Law Center. I know. Also a source of... I'm sure it has the CIA embedded.

They also said that... Oh, no, I was supporting your point, not disputing it. They actually said that they were infiltrating those movements, which is... is 100% FBI and CIA in the past. Yeah, that's core to what the allegation. So the earlier Southern Poverty Law Center reported allegation.

I'm just going to pull up my write up on it. And they said, the Southern Poverty Law Center said it's under a Justice Department criminal investigation tied to its past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups. There's a whole bunch of other paragraph in there, but I cut to the end.

The SPLC confirmed it previously paid informants to monitor extremist activity and share findings with federal and local law enforcement saying the program was kept confidential to protect sources and prevent violence so they've already admitted to the acting question they're just going to say they're going to want to say but we did it for a good reason who's that sound they were just monitoring them yeah yeah yeah that is no intel pro that's patcon that's everything that is been done domestically by the FBI with CIA embeds and internationally 100% CIA. It's almost like racism in this country is extremely over exaggerated.

Almost. Yeah, the Southern Poverty Law Center is a big one, though, because it is certainly for the Biden administration and for the, you know, Obama tenure, it has been a authoritative source for lawmakers. So they are using and citing the Southern Poverty Law Center for making and passing, for the premise that we need this new law, right? We need new anti-discrimination laws because look, the SPLC says that has been done. Now, it might not have been done in Alabama, right? But it's being done that they are there or has been done that they are considered an authoritative source and something to rely upon to actually change the law that's going to govern people. So that's a big problem. And also, it's a prime example of the unaccountable, non-governmental organizations that are actually acting as arms of the government and the kind of leftist lawfare machine that seeks to, you know, they're using institutions.

And the NGOs are a key kind of connected to do for it to use the institutions to actually try. transform us, you know, put the final death nail in the Republic and have us be this whatever global communist fever dream we're heading towards. Sorry, I apologize for my use of communism. Colonel, it's just my favorite one. All right. So let's hash this out. Do we want to invite them on next week or do we want to give it a week to cool off and

put everything? Oh, I say we invite them on next week and then we start the new book the following week. Also, if you have not yet voted in the poll, this is your last chance. You have like probably five minutes to vote in the poll. So do you want us to do Sidney Powell's license to lie next or the creature from Jekyll Island next? One for license to lie. Two for Jekyll Island. And you have a few minutes left while we talk.

Well, we could talk about some soft disclosure. Speaking of SLPC, I am a Kung Fu master. Where do you not respect me? You want to fight me? I will fight you to your death. Do you want to tame the mane that is your ugly beard? Do you want your beard to feel silky smooth? You want to make it illustrious like my Kung Fu beard? Then you need.

Soft disclosure. Beard oil, soft disclosure.com. Promocode that learns. A soft disclosure on your beard, mini lady come to you. What people don't know is when the many lady come to you, they make your dragon grow. That's what you're saying when they do that.

They make your dragon grow. All right, soft disclosure.com, promo code by runs. That might be the most racist ad we have. So well played after the SPLC. Yeah, that's what I was going. No, I know. I know. It was great.

How was that racist? How is that disparage? How is that putting down a culture and saying that we're superior to them? We were appreciating the kung fu culture. As his beard was falling off. Well, I mean, you know, Alpha can't grow a beard because, you know, he's a soy boy. He does have a, it's, that's not a beard. This is a beard.

Alpha has peach fuzz. He has a five o'clock. shadow. Like he would barely get told to go back to the barracks and shave if he had that in the Marine Corps. Nice. So I just wanted to, I wrote an article because I was intrigued by the fact that part of this whole series when we were talking about that Libietta, Oliviaetti, whatever, the Italian company where supposedly Smartmatic originally got their machines from. There was just something that didn't sit right with me on that. So I wanted to share something.

I wrote an article about this. Sure. Both of the two people that created that company back in the 1960s died under mysterious circumstances. The founder and the engineer. 1960 is when Operation Gladiol was most prevalent in, you know, 70s, 80s. So this is weird that they died under mysterious circumstances like they were targeted. And what I didn't know is that there was American companies. Number one, General Electric.

And number two, IBM. Now, keep in mind, IBM is implicated in a lot of Operation Gladiote. They created the Snow White and Seven Dwarst for Operation Condor to track all this. dissidents and stuff, well known for hackable capability. We'll just say that. They came in and bought the company. I didn't know that. I know. In 1960? Yes, after the two mysterious deaths. And their financier was J.P. Morgan Bank. Oh. So, um, If you move forward, they talk about a whole lot of what was done to the company during the time that it was under American ownership. And so then you move forward and you have this whole mafia phase where they're using Olivetti for casino operations.

and all kinds and we all know that every machine that's in a is not only programmable but rigged. Yep, 51.49. So if you then follow this trail, you find out that these are the machines. And oh, by the way, they also were intimately involved in ATMs and banking in Italy, which was money laundering. all of the drug money for the Golden Triangle at the time, both through the Vatican Bank and through like Bank Ambrosia, Brossiani, whatever that bank was. So, yeah, so casino operators, slot machines, and then Smartmatic goes over there and buys those machines.

Every one of them compromised. That was, what year was that that they bought those? Well, it had to have been around 2004 when they first incorporated in the U.S. Interesting. So is the implication there that that Smartmatic could have actually had CIA influence before they even got bought out by SGO Corp? So I would say how embedded the CIA was in Italy. in every way.

Both with the mafia, their banking, yes, I could say that whatever machine we bought from this company was vulnerable from the get-go and not from Venezuela. Ash, do you still have the whistleblower transcripts? Oh, I think so. Because there was something weird about, we did that show on why we vote where we read them. There was something weird about the Olavetti buyout where it was like...

Is it your accent? Well, that was very weird. Besides that, thank you so much for... No, that's not it. There was something weird about the Olavetti, and I can't remember... I just wanted y'all to know that because of how in-depth you are about the whole machine piece. any equipment that was bought from that company is deeply compromised. Yeah, I can't find it.

I should get my shit together better than this. No, you know what the problem is. The problem is. I moved everything to an external hard drive. That's my problem is I don't have that plugged in right now. And I think that's where they are. The election The electoral vote.

All right, I can't find it. But let me see if I could find it. Let me just look at one thing real quick. And then if I can't find it, we'll just land this bird here. So one thing logistically, next Tuesday is the day that we are set to switch this showtime to Thursdays following the Daily Herald. Yes. So the new book is going to be Thursdays following the Daily Herald. Also, Brian, we need to talk about launching why we vote in the new slot next week

because next week is my wedding anniversary on Tuesday. We can either pass it or skip it or pre-record it or whatever. We'll figure it out. Or we just keep it on Friday next week and then change it the following week. That can work. That can work. Yeah. So, but Tuesday, we won't be here because we'll be on Thursday following the day,

Herald, 2 o'clock p.m. Eastern time on Thursdays is the new showtime for Badlands Book Club, and that will start next week with either Ralph Pizzolo, Gary Bernson, and Martin Rodeal coming on to discuss their book or with us starting a new book, which appears to be the creature from Jekyll Island. So if you don't like that choice, jump in the rumble chat and drop your number one. one because that's what it's going to be if you don't fix the rule. I'm going on record saying that it's going to be the new book. Just. I'm going to put a one in there.

No, I'm just saying. Three times, Brian. You're. It doesn't. What are you? Venezuelan. It doesn't go up with each one, does it? I don't think so.

No, it doesn't go up with each one. You only get one vote per. I'm going to start banning you. If you put a two in the chat, I'm going to start muting you for five minutes. You can't mute Jade Teeterbrun too. My homie. I'm going to mute you. All right.

McModern, you have to put the number without a comment. If you put the number next to a comment, it doesn't count in the poll. Yeah, yeah, you have to put it by itself. McModern. You got to put it by itself. That might actually bring it to a tie. That's going to bring it to a tie. Maybe.

That's going to bring it to a tie. No, it's going to be 46. 49. Let's see. Let's see if it gets one more one. Come on. Give me the one. And he gets one more one. McModern gives us a one. Let's see what happens. See what happens. Oh, not yet. So Jerry 99 over on YouTube, what's up YouTube? Please hit the like button over there. Make sure you're following the channel. Gave us a two. I think that should count. Nope. You're on YouTube. That's commie tube. Election censorship has no value in my world. Commitube. It's only Commitude right now.

When I'm going to do my show, YouTube's great again. Fat Chance. You are a sellout, fat chance. You are a sellout. All these election rigors. All these people engaging in voter fraud, trying to vote. Oh, one person, one vote dropped a one. And we've got ones coming in, Brian. Yes, one's coming in. Keep the ones coming. All right. I don't think we have any. Oh, we're 50-50 now. Oh. Come on. Sydney Powell.

license to lie. If we end it right now, then you and I get to decide. No, we're not. 4852 still. Mine says 5050. What mine says. On the screen, Brian, look on the screen. I am.

It says 4852. What? On the screen, oh, now it does. It just flip. Here, you're front running us somehow on the pole. Oh, great. Mega Costa. You probably are.

You probably are manipulating the poll. Fat chance is just. Everybody needs to vote harder. That's what fat chance is doing voting harder voting harder yeah it's just all right guys I'm I'm conceding victory I'm calling my opponent to concede ash creature from Jekyll Island thank you so much I'd like to thank all the people in the chat that put the number two because that's what got us over the finish line ha ha that's my Howard Dean

yeah all right so the creature from Jack Island is the next book that we will be doing here on Badlands Book Club, which will be at 2 p.m. Eastern time on Badlands Media on Thursdays. Thursdays 2 p.m. Be there, B. Square. Colonel, this could be potentially the last time we get to do this together. Thank you so much for joining us for this book. It was right up your alley. You had a tall. Y'all both owe me dinner. Yes, yes. We don't make good. We promise.

and I'm coming over to play golf on the golf course in Air Force space. I don't believe you are ever going to come here, but the door is always open. I am coming to play golf. You told me that golf course is beautiful, so I'm coming over. It is. I'm coming over there.
