Badlands Media - Badlands Daily: 3/11/26 - Maricopa Election Evidence, Hidden FBI Investigations, and the Expanding Probe

Episode Date: March 11, 2026

In this March 11 episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Ashe in America begin with light morning banter before diving into a growing discussion about election investigations tied to Maricopa County, Arizona. The hosts react to reports that the FBI is in possession of election materials connected to the county and explore what that could mean as multiple investigations continue to unfold. The conversation expands into the discovery of previously hidden FBI investigations tied to President Trump, including a case reportedly uncovered within restricted FBI systems. CannCon and Ashe discuss how internal whistleblowers and investigators are now surfacing documents that had allegedly been buried within the bureau’s internal databases. They also examine claims that congressional investigators and federal authorities may be coordinating on a broader review of election administration in multiple states. The discussion focuses on whether Arizona represents only the beginning of a multi phase effort to investigate election procedures across the country.

out of the Badlands, explain those Badlands. That's a hell of a name. We're seeing the spell wear off, the hypnosis wear off. It's just a creation that exists in the minds of people who are still addicted to the Central America. All right, good morning Badlandia. Welcome to Badlands daily. Today is Ash Wednesday. I'm making it sick.

I'm doing it's pretty much winter's over and we didn't really have one we got like two snow storms the whole winter and now it's starting to warm up although it's may snow on Sunday but then the following Friday it's supposed to be 80 so we're in bipolar Colorado spring now which is nice oh we actually have a cold front that's going to come through next week which 75 something like that 74 is the high yeah and It's a. Christy told me the other day. She's like, well, I guess there goes our summer. Or there goes our winter.

Um, I have, uh, my biggest kind of selling point of these patches is that the adhesive on these patches does not irritate your skin. It's the only patch product that I've ever used that did not make, you know, make it feel like there was something, something flesh eating into my skin. These things are, are nice and gentle and calm. So good stuff. Okay. Yeah, I use their stuff. Uh, they sent me a couple patches when I had my back pain like a year and a half. go or so. And yeah, it, it helped out a lot. I had nerve pain and, and I kept it on there.

Everything they say is correct. It doesn't fall off or anything. You just put it on there and completely forget about it. Good stuff. Yeah, and I totally sworn off patches before I found frequency, frequency apps because of the, it's like, I don't know if it's just me thing where it's like allergies or something, like an actual reaction to any sort of adhesive. Happens a little bit with Band-Aids too, but not with frequency apps. There's the, whatever they use for their adhesive. Like Brian said, it doesn't fall off, but also it's not like super chemically or anything like that. It doesn't hurt.

You won't interrupt the show. helps us out tremendously. And let's go ahead and jump in. We're going to start, I'm calling a little bit of an audible here. We're going to start off first with some Iran coverage. We had a phone call with President Putin, Trump and President Putin yesterday.

And let's start off first with Lindsay. No, it was Tuesday, I think. He revealed it yesterday, I should have said. That they had a phone call? Did they have another phone call? because they revealed that they had a phone call on Monday. No, they revealed it yesterday because we talked about it yesterday briefly. But now we're getting it.

It was in our brief Tuesday morning, which was written on Monday. Maybe it was Monday. But we'll get into that because it's part of the oil situation. And Trump just absolutely crushing the propaganda that's coming out of like the CNNs of the world. But you'll see. But first, let's play this clip here. Lindsay Graham, saying that you got to, send your kids off to die for this cause.

To our allies step up, get our air bases out of Spain, they're not reliable, move all those airplanes to a country that would let us use them when we're threatened by a regime like Iran. To our friends in Spain, man, you have lost your way. I don't want to do business with you anymore. I want our air bases out of Spain into a country that will let us use them. To our Arab friends, I've tried to help you construct a new mid-east. You need to up your game here.

I can't go to South Carolina and say we're fighting and you won't publicly fight. What you're doing behind the scenes, that has to stop. The double dealing of the Arab world when it comes to this stuff needs to in. I go back to South Carolina. I'm asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the Mideast. What I want you to do in the Mideast to our friends and Saudi Arabia in other places, step forward and say this is my fight too. I join America.

I'm publicly involved in bringing this regime down. If you don't, you're making a great mistake and you're going to cut off the ability to have a better relationship with the United States. I say this as a friend. So you can't go to South Carolina and ask the parents there to send their sons and daughters off to fight unless the rest of the world is going to get behind him. Who does he think he is going out there and saying, hey, Spain, I don't want to do business. You're a senator, dude. You're not the president of the United States. Now, granted, he is, you know, echoing the same sentiment that President Trump said last week regarding Spain, like we're not going to do business with you. But who does Lindsey Graham think

is going out there and talking like that. Just anybody that listens to this guy, I mean. Yeah, I think when when ghost talks about bloodlust, that's kind of what you see on Lindsey Graham's face. And you know, as the mother of military age sons, I find this incredibly offensive. I don't know if you're going to pull in some of the other. I got one.

Yeah, he's he's been running his mouth a lot this week. saying things that are pissing off every faction of American. And rightfully so because he, like, I wonder what the op is. I wonder what the op is for trotting out Lindsey Graham and giving him any sort of authority to speak on behalf of the administration and certainly any sort of authority to negotiate with world leaders. Who does this guy think he is is the right question? But the reality of Brian is that he can only do this if Trump lets him.

Well, yes, I agree with that. Trump keeps him on a very tight leash, it seems. I mean, he's, you know, rolled him out at several of the speaking events throughout the campaign to booze, you know, humiliation ritual. I don't know what you want to call it. He goes out and golfs with him. Who knows what kind of discussions they have while they're on the golf course. You know, you got to think that that's kind of a clandestine operation conducted by President Trump. Who knows?

Maybe Lindsey Graham's playing a role. I mean, people point to, I think he was. the Kavanaugh hearing where Graham is talking about military tribunals for treason and everything else. And yeah, that's one thing that he said in his last, you know, eight years or maybe even his entire career, uh, that you're actually like, okay, okay, I can get behind that. But the rest of everything he said, he's just another, like you said, bloodlusting war monger who says, uh, if you're not, you know, if you're, he's, he's, I, I've shared this over the weekend. He's the same guy that came out and said, you know, I stand with Israel. If you don't stand with

Israel, I'm not standing with you, you know, referring to anti-Semites, which, let's face it, anything, if you, if you criticize the Israeli government, you are an anti-Semite. So that term is a watered definition. What's the definition of anti-Semitism? Everything that's not. It is, according to the rabbis and the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, it is the hate that that is ever changing and evolves over time and we know it when we see it. Well, that's convenient. That's convenient because we never actually be 100% certain that we're outside of the boundaries of the anti-Semitism designation unless we check out of the conversation entirely and don't have a position or forward an argument whatsoever which is what they want they want to shut down any dissent any debate over whether or

not this nation is able to do whatever it wants in the region and with with america backing it up without question and if you ask questions about that you're full of hate that's what we're told that is using the name of the lord for your own kingdom and for really unbiblical ungodly stuff diabolical um let's go ahead and play this clip this is an older one but just to show you the the bloodlust remember i played the clip of him at the state of the union when trump started talking about nato paying their fair share and how much money he's he's pumping into the military and all that and lindsay Graham's just sitting back there licking his lips just looking like oh you just wait to see what comes in the next two weeks the next two weeks meaning what we're going to blow the hell out of these

people this regime is in a death row now it is going to be on its knees it's going to fall and when it falls we're going to have peace like no other time we're going to have prosperity unlike anyone could ever imagine people it's ironic lindsay graham talking about blowing the hell out of people and having them on their knees but you know it is what it is um he he uh i wonder brian if what they're doing is kind of the uh 1984 two minutes of hate thing because when he's on when he's on the screen i want to rage and scream and throw stuff and i wonder if that's the intention that is a fascinating that is a very interesting idea right there the two minutes of rage hate hey that is that's quite interesting it's effective whether it's unintended or not that is the that's what's

happening and it's effective walberg says can we fire lindsaym at iran i support that message so um i thought that this clip here we're going to play dick blumenthal uh talking about the briefing that he just got and how he was on iran and how he was uh kept in the dark and and and this was kind of interesting to me after the conversation we had with ghost yesterday so ghost was saying you know we've essentially kind of created a vacuum in iran for the the CIA we've removed a lot of their proxies we've removed a lot of their ability if you look you know over the last year what trump has done with uh you know USAID national endowment Institute for peace and all of these institutions that were funding these color revolutions, they are, in fact, creating a vacuum. And, you know, when you go into

his speech yesterday or his press conference yesterday, when he was asked about how many staying in power or his son staying in power and him president Trump saying, well, we think now that it probably is going to be someone internal. And he invokes Iraq and some of the, you know, previous regime, Syria, and how we go in there without a real plan on putting in somebody that can control that country. and be an effective leader of that country and creates a vacuum that allows things like ISIS and ISIL and Al-Qaeda and all these other organizations to rise up, which, as Gordon said, are mainly CIA-backed. And again, a lot of people don't understand when you say they're CIA-backed, they're CIA-backed and funded and guided in a direction. Ultimately, they do their own thing. Yes, they are, you know, radical Islamists and everything else like that.

But they are pushed in the directions that the seat, well, yeah, allegedly. They're pushed in the direction that the CIA wants them to go. And so they're, they're Islamic terrorists with a leash around their neck, you know, pull them back when you have to. Did you just unironically use the term ISIL? Yeah, I think I did say ISIL. Well, I remember when ISIS was ISIL for a little while?

No, only Obama. Only Obama called it ISIL. A couple people. A couple people. All right. So here's Blumenthal talking about his briefing. I emerged from this briefing. as dissatisfied and angry, frankly, as I have from any past briefing in my 15 years in the Senate.

I am left with more questions than answers, especially about the cost of the war. Oh, we care about the cost of war? Yes, now we do. Yes, now we do. been unanswered and I will demand answers because the American people deserve to know. And I guess I am most concerned about the threat to American lives of potentially deploying our sons and daughters on the ground in Iran. We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground on the ground.

in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. And there is also, as disturbingly as anything else, the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives. Literally, Russia seems to be aiding our enemy, actively. and intensively with intelligence and perhaps with other means and china also may be assisting iran do you see the the irony in that russia might be aiding our enemy with intelligence and and you know funding as he's wearing a ukraine american flag on his lapel like dude do you not see the hypocrisy in what you're saying right here first and foremost there's no

proof and we'll get into the phone call here in a second. But the United States has given billions openly, like openly given billions to Ukraine in order to fight the Ruskis. And Blumenthal is now bitching about the same thing happening in the proxy war that we're engaged in. Yeah, I mean, he opens his remarks by saying that he's the most dissatisfied he's ever been in all of his, his exchanges in these hearings, echoing the sentiment most likely of every woman he's ever touched in his life.

But I think that looking at the, so the pen, the double pin thing to me is, treason. I don't think you equate, I think you equate the United States of American flag. You put it in the same size, same level and attach it to another pin. They do that with the Israel pin as well. You get the American pen attached to the Israel pin, American pen attached to the Ukraine pin. It's despicable and disgusting. And I think when we see it, we should call those people out to their faces.

He, most, the biggest takeaway I have, though, Brian, is that he seems scared. He, he's, and we're talking, so he's got, we're reading the really stupid CIA rewrite book right now. And it's kind of choose your own bad guy in there, right? You've got all of the bad guys. We just got Iran, Russia, China, right, all in one thing, which gives them the plausible deniability to wage war on multiple fronts. It's what they want. They don't want the checks and balances. They don't want the oversight.

The words coming out of his mouth appear to be, you know, national defense and we, strategic imperative type of questions from a defense standpoint. But the delivery, the tone in his voice, the shaking of his body, the look on his face, he seems scared. I agree. You know, I don't know necessarily why. I mean, I think there's obviously there's something going on that none of us are privy to. I know Alpha has touched on some theories. Gordon's touched on some theories.

When you look at the oil situation that's taking place over there, you're seeing a realignment. We're going to get into a story here in a second where Putin is coming to be the hero of the EU potentially. It hasn't happened yet, but yeah, there's something going on there. Blumenthal who has never been one to shy away from military spending. He's been a proponent of Middle East action in the past significantly. I think Gordon was saying yesterday that he was one of the conspirators that that essentially created the vacuum for ISIS to, to, you know, come out of the, the. Yeah, he's the kind of guy that was probably saying ISIL, right? You said there was a few people saying I, he was, he was one of those.

He probably was. He probably was. I don't want to misspeak on that. I'll leave that to Gordon, but I'm pretty sure he's talked about Blumenthal's involvement in that. But let's see as Dick. Let's just remember that. I think that's the third sexual reference we've made so far in this show between Lindsay Graham.

It's really gross when you look at what we're talking about. Well, then stop putting that in our minds. What are you doing? Triggered people turn their brains on, Brian. Not in that direction. Not in that direction. I know you've got some sort of a weird infatuation with Dick Blumenthal, but. You know what, actually while I was watching that, his face looks different to me.

I don't know if anybody else sees that. Like it looks like, I don't know, maybe he's a little bit more swollen or something, but he looks, he looks different. Botox. Oh, it could be. The lower lip. Look at the lower lip. That's that's Botox, baby. Come on, Dick.

You're supposed to do the upper lip. That's the pumping. These people don't want to change, man. They don't want to get old. They don't want to get old. The adrenochrome is running out. I don't know. So here's President Trump at his press conference yesterday.

the day before talking about Putin and this will segue into the oil segment. Do you approve of Iran's new Supreme Leader? And secondly, can you tell us more about your call with Russian President Vladimir Putin today? What did you discuss? Yes, I had a very good call with President Putin. We had a lot of people on the line from our side, from his side. We were talking about Ukraine, which is just a never-ending fight. And when, look, there's tremendous hatred between President Putin and President Zelensky. They can't seem to get it together. But I think it was a positive call on that subject.

And we obviously talked then about the Middle East. And he wants to be helpful. I said, you could be more helpful by getting the Ukraine-Russia war over with. That would be more helpful. But we had a very good talk. And he wants to be very constructive. Yeah. Do you? So a couple of interesting things. First, qualifying the or or characterizing the relationship between Putin and Zelensky as they hate each other. It's kind of interesting. I mean, I think we all would understand that there's no love loss between Zelensky and Putin. But that was kind of interesting. But then, you know, kind of doing. The pream of off of that, that I find that I'm offended on behalf of Putin because it's kind of a false equivalency and there's no equivalency there. I see.

the dynamic is you know there's Putin and then there's this little nat that keeps crying to everybody to give them money. Well to be fair when I'm out you know in the in the woods or whatever and you get swarmed by a or swarm of gnats right you hate those gnats I mean you don't even a thought other than to flick them away but you ultimately hate them right you're like you're so annoying get the hell away from me and you swat them away. So it's kind of the same I think that's a a equal comparison there. Remember when people like Dick Blumenthal tried to convince us that Zelensky was a hero? Hmm.

Oh yeah. Ben Stiller was doing that just this week. I mean, well, he wasn't doing it this week. It resurfaced this week as he's telling us that don't use my tropic thunder clips, which never go full retard by the way. He did. He did. He did the meme. He did the meme.

On his own movie. On his own movie. On his own movie. War is not a movie as he's literally telling you to take. take away a movie that is about a movie being made during an actual war. Ironic. But yeah, so the other thing that was kind of interesting is the tit for tat between, you know, end the Ukraine war, we'll end the Iranian war.

But also Trump is saying that him and Putin, Putin's offering assistance if they need it. Like, hey, what can we do to help end this war? Not, hey, we're giving them intelligence. We're funding them to attack you. We haven't heard other than the first day or two. We haven't heard of any Iranian attacks on U.S. assets. I mean, there's been, you know, some propaganda out there about whether or not Iran's hitting Israel or not or some of the Saudi state, the air, excuse me, Saudi, some of the Arab nations. But we haven't really heard anything about them hitting the United States.

We had the first attack where we had seven service members, you know, tragically killed. But it hasn't been anything since then. So kind of interesting. Now, let's use that. we're going to stand the oil for a second here and actually got a really good question yesterday during i think it was yesterday my timeline's all jacked up today i thought st patrick's day was on sunday and it's on tuesday but i believe this was yesterday uh jordan conradsen asking uh secretary of war pete heggseth and and uh chairman of the joint chiefs dan kane a question he goes with

hegseth asking about the oil fields that were being struck and uh interesting response from from from Heggseth on this. Thank you. Jordan Conradson, Gayway Pundit. Axios reported citing U.S. and Israeli sources that U.S. was not happy with strikes on 30 fuel depots in Iran. While this is anonymous sourcing, you know, it seems kind of congruent with what President Trump said yesterday that there's certain spots they don't want to hit relating to energy

infrastructure that would take a long time to be filled. And whether this reporting is true or not, what's your message to Americans, those who supported the president and those who aren't really in favor of this war who worry that Israel might be taking advantage of the US's backing? And then for Mr. Chairman, for you,

I wanted to ask, when you say that we're moving inland, what capabilities does Iran have to shoot down jets over their land? And would that trigger some kind of rescue operation could risk a figure ground operation. Well, I would just state by saying Israel's been a really strong partner in this effort, where they have different objectives, they pursued them. Ultimately, we've stayed focused on ours.

But what Iran has felt is the power of the world's two most powerful air forces. In that particular case, that wasn't our, those weren't our strikes or that objective, or that wasn't our, necessarily our objective. But the president has made it clear to those concerns, that we're not getting pulled in any direction. We're leading. The president is leading. He's determining where we want to go,

what the outcome will be, what the end state is, with a very keen eye. And I understand those concerns, because I've heard from a lot of people who went through, I went through 20 years of those wars myself, worried about getting dragged in, worried about mission creep, worried about nation building or democracy expansion.

That's never the perspective the president has pursued on this. just because previous presidents so okay we can land that there and and i can summarize restate his question because i got lost in his question it was a little rambly yeah so he's basically asking hey israel is striking these oil fields in iran are we backing this and heggseth says no that's their own objective we're not the ones backing uh the attacks on these oil fields that is Israel acting on their own he says it very much more um non-confrontationally you know you know not not so he's not even passive aggressive and how he says it he's just saying hey

israel has their objectives we have ours you know we're doing our thing they're doing their thing we were not really there's no cross-pollination here or minimal cross-pollination of ideas and you know i thought that was interesting because we saw the the footage yesterday we ghost and i played it on on on daily and ghost-plated on his geopolitics segment as well um that is something that is like you know it takes some time to rebuild these these oil fields and these refineries and everything else like that attacking those is not uh is not the brightest move and so you know immediately when i saw that i yesterday i was like this doesn't seem like something that we should be doing attacking oil fields and now we get confirmation from pete heggseth who's you know a friend to israel and all this let's

be real here, saying that they did it on their own. And, you know, again, is that more evidence that there is some sort of a gap in communication between the United States and Israel and how this war or a special operation, whatever you want to call it, is being conducted? Yeah, I mean, I think you can speculate on that. I'm not sure he gave us enough, Hegseth, gave us enough to make that. a definitive statement. I mean, I think, okay, you're talking about me.

The U.S. and Israel, the U.S. and that there's daylight between them on this thing. I think they can, I think it serves their purposes and certainly in the U.S. with how divisive the issue is. I think it serves the purposes to say that they're, they're pursuing their objectives and we're pursuing our objectives and when we have the same objectives, we're pursuing them together. but we're doing our own things when we need to. I think that that is, that's a story that services the division and kind of helps create the ability for distance if necessary.

When it comes to the actuals, I would be really surprised if there's daylight between them. So you think that Israel came to the U.S. before they struck the oil refinery or the oil fields? I don't know if the refineries or fields. Do you think they came to the U.S. and said, hey, we're going to do this? Yes. Oh man, see I don't I don't think so I think that was a I think that was an action to try and provoke Russia or China to enter this Okay, well then what what do you make of the US response then? What do you mean going along with them?

I think we've gone along with them the whole way there are our allies in this we've gone along with them the whole way Now the public what's being said in the public is totally different in a situation like this from what's said behind closed doors You know Trump does this I thought we were talking about behind close doors you don't think that is came and did and and approach the u.s right i don't think so you think they're acting unilaterally and the u.s is responding to their stimulus yeah i don't think i don't think we're that weak but you know oh i there's a lot there's a lot of people that think that trump is owned by the jews i'm not one of them no no no i don't think at all that but i'm saying what what is said publicly is different from what goes on behind the scenes but we're not talking about

what's said publicly we're talking about what we think is happening behind the scenes but there's been I mean, there hasn't been any escalation of the refineries. Another one hasn't been hit since then. They haven't hit another one yet. In fact, we're going to talk about the mines here in a second that Iran is laying out, which also, I believe, is propaganda. But yeah, I don't think that, I don't think that we were aware that they were going to be doing that. I just, I don't know.

It doesn't make sense to me. I mean, could be. Could be. Again, this is all just pure speculation on our part because we don't know the behind closed doors meetings and stuff that go on there. but so in response to that sorry moscow times put this out on on monday russia ready to supply oil and gas to europe if it asks putin says i had this story i mentioned it briefly yesterday we didn't get into it uh it says russia would supply oil and gas to european buyers provided such cooperation

was quote unquote long term and did not put political pressure on moscow Putin said moscow would continue to supply oil to its quote unquote reliable partners in asia as well as EU members, Hungary and Slovakia, if European companies and European buyers suddenly decide to reorient themselves and provide us with long-term sustainable cooperation devoid of political pressures, and go ahead, we've never refused, Putin said. It says the EU banned maritime imports of Russian crude in 2022.

That's in response to the Ukraine war, while Russia's pipeline exports to Hungary and Slovakia have been effectively halted since January, to damage to the Drusba oil pipeline via Ukraine, Putin's comments came hours after Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban urged the EU to suspend the sanctions on Russian oil and gas to counter prices sent soaring by the war in the Middle East. You know, the Russia deal with Hungary and Slovakia is kind of a nuanced sovereign alliance proof right there. You know, you have Orban in Hungary and what's a

What's his name? The guy that got shot. What the heck is his name? Why is it escaping? What's the guy that got shot? The prime minister of Slovakia. Yeah. He has the really weird name that it looks like Cedric or something.

Anyways, the one that got, they tried to assassinate him, the journalist, the quote unquote journalist. But they've been the ones that have been dealing with Russia still and they're all, Fizo. There it is. FEC, no, it's spelled FICO, but it has that little curly cue on the bottom of the and I'm told it's a Z, so it's FITZ. I knew that.

May 15th, 2024, injured in an assassination attempt. Yeah, that guy. They're big time, you know, Trump aligned in this right here. And they're also the only two EU countries that are dealing with Russia in terms of oil. So anyways, I just thought that that was interesting, pushing Putin or Putin pushing, hey, we'll supply you with oil. as this war continues, prices go above $100 a barrel, whatever the case might be. Then we got this story from Natasha Bertrand, of all people. Oh, she's your favorite.

My favorite writer of all times, the 51 Intel spies who lie. Iranian, it is Russian disinformation, the famous quote. Look at her out still publishing news articles like she has credibility. Yeah, yeah. Iran begins laying minds in the, the Strait of Hormuz sources say written 14 at well updated 14 hours ago it was written yesterday and so president trump yesterday at 407 p.m addresses this and he says quote if iran has put out any mines in the Hormuz strait and we have no reports of them doing so there's a shot at

bertrand's reporting right there we want them removed immediately if for any reason minds were placed and they are not removed forthwith the military consequences of of Iran will be at a level never seen before. If on the other hand, they remove what may have been placed, it will be a giant step in the right direction. Additionally, we are using the same technology and missile capabilities deployed against drug traffickers to permanently eliminate any boat or ship

attempting to mine the Hormuz Strait. They will be dealt with quickly and violently. Beware, President Donald J. Trump. That was at 407 p.m. At 4.20 p.m., 13 minutes later, he says, I'm pleased to report that within the last few hours, we have hit and completely destroyed 10 inactive mine laying boats and or ships with more to follow. Yeah. Do I know how they did it?

With that guy right there? Yeah. EOD Mike Marco Rubio. I'm surprised you didn't go with the dolphins that you guys were talking about. Oh, I love the dolphins. I don't want. Yeah. Yeah.

that i mean that is true we've spy dolphins the russians have the best one allegedly i think i you know i know we've had the dolphins for a long time not the miami dolphins but the the ship dolphins the the the mine seeking dolphins i'm having the i mean dolphins for a long time too you have you have probably longer than the ship dolphins than the mine dollph probably i think so but like i don't even know how that would work so so if these ships are are out there laying mines in the Hormuz straight and we need our mine sweeping dolphins. We have like a ship with a Shamu sea world tank on it. And we just bring them over and we just drop them into the water and we're like, okay, go do your things.

And then they, you blow the whistle and they come back to the ship and it would be so sad if something happened to a mine sweeping dolphin though. That would be that would be a that would be a rough. Christy just texted me. Is she listening? No, I thought she might be because she was talking about the mind sweeping dolphins. Well, we weren't talking about mind sweeping dolphins on alphas. We were talking about spy dolphins and spy birds.

Because they use birds as spies, too. And cats. Yeah, but the mind sweeping dolphins definitely came up. Way cool. Definitely came up. Yeah. Spy dolphins. All right. So in response to the destruction of an oil field in Iran,

the mine sweeping dolphins in the street of war moves. Love it. Natasha Bertrand's Are there dolphins native to the straight of hormones? I highly doubt it. Body of water. Maybe.

Google that. Like Muslim dolphins swimming around. All right, I'm looking at it up. Keep going. I could just see a dolphin with a turban. Anyways, I had one too. In response to all of that, President Trump also put this out.

America is returning to real energy dominance. Today I'm proud to announce the America first refining. is opening the first new U.S. oil refinery in 50 years in Brownsville, Texas, a historic $300 billion deal, the biggest in U.S. history, a massive win for American workers, energy, and the great people of South Texas. Thank you to our partners in India and their largest privately held energy company reliance for their tremendous investment is because of our America First Agenda, streamlining permits, and lowering taxes that have attracted billions of dollars in deals coming back to our nation. A new refinery at the Port of Brownsville will fuel

U.S. markets, strengthen our national security, boost American energy production, deliver billions of dollars in economic impact, and will be the cleanest refinery in the world. It will power global exports and bring thousands of long overdue jobs and growth to a region that deserves it. This is what energy dominance looks like America first always there are Indo-Pacific bottle-nosed dolphins that are native to the region wow they look they look just like our bottle-nosed dolphins do you remember that video game maybe a little bit shorter snout do you remember that game echo the dolphin no such a propaganda video game you're like this dolphin that has to go clean up pollution in the ocean This was like the 1990s video game.

The internet was still dial up and you can only connect. And yeah. All right. So we're done with the Iran stories, I believe for today. That was the big thing. The straight of Hormuz and the minds that President Trump just, you know,

well, you can't give the slap. You guys know what I'm talking about to Natasha Bertrand because missing parts. But, you know, President Trump kind of put that to bed real quick. 13 minutes, 13 minutes to destroy Iran.

10 inactive mine sweeping ships. So let's get into this story here, the Lawfare, CBS News. DOJ's Ed Martin faces ethics charges from disciplinary office over threatening letter to Georgetown University. The deep state really hates it when you threaten their deep state university institutions. And you cannot do that. Martin last year sent a threatening letter, threatening letter to the Georgetown University Law Center that raised.

questions about its diversity and inclusion policies while he was serving as the interim U.S. attorney in D.C. in the February 17th, Keck letter to the law school, Martin told university officials that a whistleblower claimed Georgetown was teaching DEI and asked them about the practice. Without waiting for a response, he told the school he was imposing sanctions by instructing his office staff not to employ any students from the school as fellows, interns, or employees at the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C. Now, Martin may have said it's because of the DEI. I think it's because of the CIA ties to that university,

but that's just me personally. If you want to keep the deep state out of D.C., you've got to stop employing recruits from deep state schools. Your next paragraph kind of supports your position there. Yeah. The other thing real quick that I do want to highlight is it does say without waiting for a response and I tried to look at the timeline here and there is no timeline. Like how long did Ed Martin wait?

Did he wait a day? Did he wait an hour, a month, a week? You know, it doesn't say how long he waited before he said, okay, well, we're just going to sanction you guys. So reading on, it says the school's now former dean, William Traynor, told Martin that his letter represented, quote, an attack on the university's mission as a Jesuit and Catholic institution, end quote. in filings made by the DC Court of Appeals Board on Professional Responsibility, Disciplinary Counsel, Hamilton Phil Fox, the third of the DC Bar.

Does that name sound familiar, Ash? I don't know how you get Phil out of Hamilton. Hamilton Phil Fox, excuse me. No, I know, but Phil is in quotations, meaning that's his nickname. That's the name he goes by his Phil. How do you get Phil from Hamilton? Oh, I don't know. You made me think I misspoke.

No, you didn't. I'm attacking his name, not your pronoun. of his name. All right. I don't know. I don't know where you get Phil from. I don't know why it's why is it familiar. He's the, he's the, I guess, prosecutor, I guess, or counsel that went after Jeff Clark.

Oh. I did not know that. Yeah. He's the one that argued against, I remember, how can you forget that name? Hamilton, Phil Fox, the third. So distinguished because he has the third. That means he's got a generation that's worth passing the name down. not just the bloodline but the name as well i think i think it means that he's always in the shadow

and never quite good enough but that could be it too that could be it too you're living in the shadow of the o g of the first and second disciplinary counsel hamilton phil fox the third of the dc bar alleged that martin's conduct as a government official violated the first and fifth amendments by making demands that the law school change what it teaches students and how it teaches them. Quote, acting in his official capacity and speaking on behalf of the government, he used coercion to punish or suppress a disfavored viewpoint, the teaching and promotion of DEI, the filing says. He demanded that the Georgetown law relinquish its free speech and religious rights in order to obtain a benefit, employment opportunities for its students. End quote.

I'm wondering how much funding the federal government puts into Georgetown, how much they get on the federal government. I would imagine it's quite substantial, but I would also imagine that a lot of it comes through NGOs as pass-throughs to Georgetown, but I digress. Yeah, but that's that's an important point is that when the, you know, the aid kind of grift was exposed through Doge and then ostensibly systemic changes put in. place and i and i think that there i think we see evidence that there were changes put in place to this because everyone's begging us for money now right like these all of these um you know news sites that were previously considered to be news sites were exactly you know apparently existing on u.s funding um democracy docket and mark elias that guy is is begging for money every time he speaks the e i i sac the ms isaq all of these people are

Now their number one job is fundraising so that they can stay in business. That's new. That's a change. These entities were not begging us for money before they had money. And so I think that's one of the most notable things in this sort of domain. So yeah, not terribly surprising to see, but it's confirming the hell out of my biases. I think even Politico now has a paywall on some of their articles. And Politico was infamously the one that was like exposed as having the $8 million payoff that they were getting for their access to their, you know, government exclusive content or whatever it was like the, the subscriptions.

That's what it was. And, you know, they were paying the government was paying them $8 million. So government officials could read Politico. Okay. Speaking of ugly and offensive grifters, do you have that Mark Elias video I sent you? I do send it in telegram. Let's keep going with this. In a statement, the Justice Department accused the D.C.

Barr of being a partisan organization. Absolutely. The D.C. bars attempt to target and punish those serving President Trump while refusing to investigate or act against actual ethical violations that were committed by Biden and Obama attorneys is a clear indication of this partisan organization's agenda. I mean, there's a lot more than just that. but good starting point for the DOJ in their statement.

The complaint against Martin also noted that when the Office of Disciplinary Council initially received a complaint against him, Martin refused to engage, good call, good call, and instead sent an ex parte letter to the chief judge and the senior judges of the D.C. Court of Appeals. Quote, in that letter, he stated that he would not be responding to the disciplinary counsel's inquiry, complained about the disciplinary counsel's uneven behavior and requested a face-to-face meeting with all of you, the judges on the appellate court, to discuss this matter and find a way forward. Because of his communications with the judge and a request to dismiss the case, Martin is now also facing charges of improperly communicating ex parte with a judge during a proceeding and engaging in conduct that seriously interferes with the administration of judge. justice. Martin has since been stripped of his title presiding over the Justice Department's weaponization working group, but remains on staff as its pardon attorney. I wonder if the last part I included that because I wonder if this filing, if there were whispers of this filing coming

down and that's why they removed him from the weaponization working group because everything on its face appeared as though Ed Martin like Todd Blanche came out and did it, right? And everybody was like what's Todd Blanche doing? And then Martin puts out the video the excuse me, the picture of him and Blanche. And he's like, everything's great. And they've got their arm around each other. Like everything's fine here. And, you know, again, I think his work right now as a pardon attorney is more important getting to the bottom of the auto pen and all of that, you know, debacle is one of the most important things. Because it's kind of the gate right now to get to the further investigations and prosecutions. But yeah, I wonder if they had some foreknowledge of this coming down. I don't know. I think that if it weren't for conservative influencers, there wouldn't be any scandal around the Ed Martin, Todd Blanche thing. That was a story that got a bunch of cycles and a bunch of clicks and probably made a bunch of people revenue, but was disputed by everyone involved in it.

True. Well, so the lawfare persists, and that was kind of my takeaway from this. article when I saw that this morning. I was like, oh, here we go. Lawfare still raging on. Because that was, you know, that was where they got John Eastman, where they got it, they went after Jeff Clark, Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, like all of those lawyers that did the 2020 work. A lot of them have gone through either the D.C., you know, disciplinary action board or, or whatever their local jurisdictional board was. And it's continuing. Here we go. Real quick, I do want to take a second here we're going to hit a sponsor and then we will get back into the news so let me get this pulled up here bear with me for two seconds and there we go guys they can cancel your accounts

Here we go. Exclusive. This is from Tennessee Star. Jack Smith subpoenaed phone records of former Kansas Attorney General who led outside challenge to the 2020 election results. This is Phil Klein that we're talking about here. And we'll get into Phil Klein's story on why I believe they targeted him. but a new document obtained by the Tennessee Star reveals that former Kansas Attorney General Phil Klein was among the 430 individuals or organizations subpoenaed by Jack Smith as part of the Arctic Frost probe, revealing for the first time that legal experts and organizations who sought to contest the results from outside the White House were included in Smith's investigation. Records reveal the special prosecutor's office contacted the telecommunications communications company on August 1st, 2023.

to inform them of their obligation to produce Klein's records to comply with a grand jury subpoena. The subpoena sought subscriber information, names, addresses, records for inbound and outbound calls, text messages, and voicemails, as well as the means and source of payment to Verizon, which the document specified included credit card or bank accounts that Klein used to pay his phone bill. this is the first time, Ash, I think, that I've seen text messages and voicemails included. We were told that all the senators and everybody else was toll records. It wasn't the contents of what they were discussing, but just who they were talking to, when they were talking to, and for how long. But nothing about the content.

This is the first I've heard of text message and voicemails. Yeah, that's a bit. It definitely escalates it. I guess in my head, it always was just everything. Yeah. I don't I think privacy is a myth. I think that the, um, the monitoring apparatus of the government can basically get whatever they want. And when they do grand jury subpoenas kind of stuff, it's to cover their asses. Like if you go back to the Samantha power on masking thing, like does anybody think that they waited for the unmasking to know what was in those communications? I've always kind of thought that the unmasking was the paperwork to back up what they already did. Yep. Reading on here. Oops, sorry.

Reading on, it said it also sought any other phone numbers associated with Klein's account, as well as the IP addresses that he used to access the internet with his Verizon connected devices. The order was, of course, signed by the U.S. District Court Judge James Bosberg. Bosberg prohibited Verizon from informing Klein. Disgusting. That's such, it's insane. It's the this is why I followed the Ed Martin with this because the DOJ statement on this that there's an uneven application of the law here is glaring in this situation right here. But is it, Brian, isn't a judge's primary objective to safeguard justice and to safeguard the process to call balls and strikes in the process and to ultimately because of the the constitution of the United States.

United States to which he swears an oath protecting the rights of the accused is one of their most profound, if not their most profound responsibility. Boasberg did the opposite. He's been, he was during the Merrick Garland, you know, time of things, he was operating as an arm of the Department of Justice, not as an independent arbiter of justice. Exactly. And I want to, I want to expand on that thought in just a second, but let me get through this real quick. Disclosure will result in destruction of or tampering with evidence intimidation of potential witness is in serious jeopardy to the investigation. This letter was signed by U.S. former DOJ attorney who left his position in January of 2025. Of course he did.

Smith's team sought Klein's records from October 1st, 2020 through January 31st, 2021, which is the narrowest window, narrower window than the others. Klein, of course, led the Amistad Project of the Thomas Moore Society during that period. Klein was also the first to accuse meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg of using the CTCL to fund a shadow campaign that, quote, illegally inflated turnout in key Democratic swing states, end quote, ahead of the 2020 election. Now, there's something else, and to your point right there about, you know, a judge's job to protect the accused and protect, you know, the integrity of a case. what what crime did Phil Klein what crime did they articulate to Boseberg that Phil Klein could have committed and that's the thing you don't see any crime articulated right did he write a memo that proposed a legal theory because that memo yeah did he draft a memo because you know that I don't that'll do

the reason that the judge in my opinion the reason that that our justice system is structured the way that it is and that we need our judges to be independent arbiters is is that prosecutors are like surgeons right they're always going to want to cut they're always going to want to go hard at the problem with the solution that they know how to bring which is prosecution to the fullest extent of the law and when the evidence and the prosecutorial theories and the discretion use prosecutorial discretion is used for political purposes or for you know perverted senses of justice and well we uh you know in the case of Tina Peters I was debating my DA who you know is obviously a prosecutor um a couple

weeks ago of last Friday actually debating uh the DA about Tina Peters and whether or not the judge and the prosecutor allowing the prosecutor to present her intent to the jury and not defend against that is that disqualifying? Does that bias the jury to the rest of the charges? You've now given her an intent. She's not allowed to defend against it. Doesn't that impact every single count in the indictment? My opinion is yes, you've biased the jury. It's done. You can't unring that bell with the jury once you've told them what her intent is and the judge allows it to stand. That's basically a found fact at that point. And if she's not allowed to defend against that, that being a found fact before the finder of fact, the jury, then you've corrupted the process.

And I brought this point up to the prosecutor, Brian, and his answer was basically, yeah, but we all knew she was really, really guilty, so it's fine. Like we have to protect the process. We have to protect the outcome of the jury trial. So don't pay attention to the fact that her rights were violated. Now, a prosecutor is always going to view it that way, because that's their job. That's their orientation in the in the process a defense attorney is always going to kind of you know view it with the right from the framing of the rights of the accused the judge is supposed to be the guy protecting the process and making sure that the biases of both sides the offensive and the defensive side of this thing that justice is served in that exchange so when you have somebody like bowsburg or

matthew barrett out in mesa county when you have somebody that is putting their thumb on the scale and deciding that their opinion of how this justice thing should go because we just know they're really, really guilty. We know, you know what, that draft memo proves that they're a threat to democracy. So we need to take them out and the process be damned. The rights be damned. The principles be damned. No, I'm sorry. That's, yeah, it's a violation of their oath. And I feel like I'm using the word treason too much. But damn it if it doesn't apply here as well. My question is, where did this debate with the DA take place? on the radio of drive time radio is Ryan Ryan

Shuling live program there in this yeah yeah I'll send it to you oh please do no no yeah well I'm really not happy with it because when he came so I pushed back on him quoted the judge to him and basically said you can't do that he came back and restated that her intent we all know what her intent was so she didn't need to defend it and then the radio close shut me off and I wasn't allowed to respond

I'm not super happy about it. I'll send it to you. Please do. You wouldn't have been able to cut me off. I'd have been screaming. I was actually in the studio for that. So I went to the Iheart radio studios for that. And so it was like, I couldn't have just kept going.

That wouldn't have been appropriate. Why? He was right next to you. I would have been like, excuse me. The DA was on the phone. I know. He was there. That was conversation continued all day long.

But the host that cut you off was. there right yeah yeah i'd have been like dude you're not gonna cut me give me a solid shut the fuck up ash face like rivaling yours which is hard to do well mine's ineffective his is more effective so i need to study his then um all right so getting back to the phil klein thing and we went off on a little tangent there but that's okay because they're always fun um do you know at that time what was going on with Phil Klein and I thought that this was very interesting. You know who that guy is at the podium? No. That is Jesse Morgan. Oh, truck driver guy? Truck driver Jesse Morgan. And who is that to Jesse Morgan's right, our left? Phil Klein. Yeah. Phil Klein was the guy that brought Jesse Morgan

forward in that same time frame. And I'm wondering exactly. Exactly. Exactly text messages and voice. because everybody talks via text message. If you gave me an option, if you said, hey, you can either listen to phone conversations or you can get text messages of unwitting, unknowing people, not people. Like if somebody's mischievously doing something, I would take the phone call every day because there's no record of it unless they record it. But if you're talking about people that are just going to buy to get by and doing going about their daily lives, I'll take the text messages every day, every single time. And so that's a pretty big deal. uh if they are we're actually getting texts and voicemails that's that's very concerning that's a little bit more than toll records like we were told so um all right let's go ahead and jump into uh this do you want to play the elias clip now yeah is that a good section because i'm going to play the john solos are why we vote now i know i know i know i swap of that i sawovna people are going think we're like talking like swahili language or something like that and that we're incredibly racist and who cares that was not so you want to set this up uh yeah mark

elias is freaking out again and um it's delightful that's a great set of mark a lia lias's lips are moving so he's freaking out so he's wiggin all the way out right now anything with his lips moving wigging out look i think you put it really well in the introduction that the 2020 six midterm elections are all around us. The attacks on democracy are all around us. And my fear is that people are not focused on these things until way too close to election day. I mean, as you point out, we've now had two counties

have their ballots seized, one by SEPA and one by search warrant. We have the Department of Justice in court trying to get access to the most sensitive data on voters that states keep in 30 states. At least a dozen Republican-controlled states have turned that data over voluntarily. Okay, good. Brian, is it the most sensitive data that states keep like, you know, I got into, I got into an argument with some retard on X over this because they're like, you know, because I said they're like, don't candidates. Somebody asked, don't candidates get the voter rolls. And I said, I believe they get like names and addresses. And the DOJ is asking for names, addresses. The last four of your social security, which by the way, they gave to you, the federal government gave you your social security number. So they already have it. Just just, just throwing that.

out there they already know your social security number uh and some guys like you believe you don't even know what the doj is is seeking and i'm like this guy's new here he doesn't know that if i load a question like that i know the answer to it at least with relative certainty and uh of course they bowed out of the conversation after that yeah all they're asking for is name address and and last four of your social yeah and they sell this information the states and they and enter into contractual exchanges where they exchange this data for other things. But when it comes to the federal government verifying the veracity and accuracy of the voter roles, it's the most sensitive data that states keep and how dare the federal government

asked for it. He's off his rocker. He gets so much, it gets better though. Losing his proverbial shit. So good. You have Congress having enacted a version of the SAVE Act, which would be a catastrophe for voters. you have the president insisting that that doesn't go far enough and needs to also include

provisions that do away with all voting by mail and that he'll shut down all congressional business. He has said he will issue an executive order if Congress doesn't do this. I mean, we are on a fast-moving train towards an absolute collision point for democracy between the President of the United States and the rule of law and free and fair elections. I said this in the run-up to the 2020 election, and I know Nicole you and have been sounding the alarm as well but we need everyone now to recognize that that collision is not going to wait until november it's going to start to take place before that yeah what i cannot for the life of me i i do too i definitely but going back to the save act like why are the leftist

dirps melting down so hard over the save act and i'm not talking about schumer like i expect him he's got to he's got to show a solid front in, you know, defiance of the SAVE Act passing. But like, why is everybody else freaking out about this thing when it is dead on arrival? There is no way that the SAVE Act is going to pass under the current rules in the Senate. It's just not going to happen. I think because 83% of the country wants it. And because none.

So dead on the rival in the Senate is going to be a problem for the Senate in the, you know, how much of a problem. problem? I don't know because the only way to hold them accountable is through elections and elections are fake and they're fighting to make them real. But the SAVE Act is pivotal and critical because it solves the fake voters problem. And none of it works without the fake voters. You need the inflated voter rolls. This is why we're so hard on Scott Pressler, aside from the fact that, you know, the nonsense that comes out of his mouth. But he pads the voter rolls the same way Michelle Obama and when we all vote, is when we her her umbrella organization includes all of the get out the vote entities so when when you consider the threat the actual threat to the mechanisms

of fake elections the the SAVE Act is a is a massive threat and then you have Clay Higgins it's clay right and say the wrong name rich Higgins was in the gym yesterday when you said that I just thank you for correcting me because I just would have kept going with it just going rich Higgins has been for a few years now. Not alive, no. No, he, Clay Higgins has introduced the Mail and Ballot Integrity Act, meaning that they can't, so the fake voters taken care of,

patting the voter rolls, a whole bunch of identities that may or may not be real people or, you know, that were real people, but they're dead, or that aren't, that are real people, but they're not lawful voters. That's the state of the voter rolls. And one of the big problems in the system at its more advanced stages like here in Colorado is that the fake voter rules then get unfettered mail-in ballots, right? Everybody on the list gets a mail-in ballot. And so all the fake ones, too.

All the fake voters get mail-in ballots too. So those two pieces of legislation go right to the heart of fake voters, fake ballots. And then when we look at what's happening in Georgia and Maricopa and ostensibly Michigan, next and eventually coming home here to Colorado. I hope. I think we get the kind of Rocky Mountain Showdown final stage here at Dominion's headquarters, but that's my Hopium talking. Then we get to fake counts. And when we when we solve fake voters, fake ballots, fake counts, we've solved for election integrity. We've solved a lot of election integrity. That just means that just means the war is the war is continuous, right? Yeah, I mean, I think if we really solve those things and that includes

mass popular awakening to it, we can't have. real elections until we're honest about how fake they are but assuming that we get to that point then i think we can have real elections i agree i agree i was going to i was going to expand on that because i thought you were going to stop at fake uh fake voters and then you you expanded on that so there we all right let's keep going here i feel like it's it's also a roller derby right where like like punches are being thrown and elbows are being shoved into ribs now i mean why why does the fbi have election material from america up county because you're Brooks. They have election material from Kermarok County for two reasons. A ground jury subpoena.

I was just about to say they have one reason. The only answer is they went to a grand jury. They got a subpoena from the grand jury and they went and took the records in accordance with due process of the law. Yeah. That's the only answer that is that is viable here. Yeah. We'll need to internalize that both of these things are true. Okay. Number one, Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. And he is on a indicative campaign to go after anyone who says that he lost it. Right. So they are getting the data in Fulton County and in Nicarpa County. Both of those are grand jury subpoenas, by the way.

The outcome of the 2020 election and to criminally prosecute anyone who possibly can who has told the truth. That is one reason. But there is a second reason that is independently important. And that is it is a dry run for 2026. every time they engage in these tactics. This is they learn for a second. Okay, everybody pay attention.

Pay attention to what he says because he takes what we have been saying and kind of inverts it a little bit, but I also think it's true. All right. The logistics of seizing ballots. And that's no small thing. I mean, in Fulton County, remember they went and got a search warrant. And then it turns out their search warrant was wrong because it targeted the wrong facility or the wrong place. Well, in the process of fixing that, they learned something about how

you seize ballots in Fulton County. When you saw the Director of National Intelligence Tulsa Gabbard on an evidence truck, it was alarming because Tulsi Gabbard is the Director of National Intelligence on an evidence truck. But what you saw were boxes of ballots, and they learned a lot about how many trucks you need to get all the ballots, how the boxes need to be stacked. Are they pre-boxed in the facility or do you need to bring boxes? And the same thing is happening here. So it is both a way of realifying people over the 2020 election and being vindictive there. But it is also critically a dry run for what they hope, what they expect to be prepared for and want to be prepared for in 2026.

Is he implying that D&I Gabbard is going to steal the ballots like in a heist? So I think he's making it a mission because what he says is every time they do. one of these things they learn more about what we're doing. Now he phrases it a little bit differently. Oh, they learn more about how to seize ballots. Well, I'm pretty sure the FBI doesn't need to get more information about how to seize stuff. It's a big part of what they do, right? And why is that information valuable? Oh my gosh, if the boxes, they're learning that we keep ballots and boxes in this way and we batch them this way and we organize them this way. And this is really dangerous because they're doing a dry run that to me is very encouraging for you know the midterms TM uh because it's what we've

what we have said can be if you if you turn that whole thing on its head every time they hold a fake election we learn more about how they do it every time they hold a fake election and they rig it we learn more about how they do it and they've had to change their tactics right from 2020 to 2022 they couldn't do the same couldn't stop counting on in 2022 because that was so outrageous in 2020 so what did they do well they had the 18 20 inch ballot issue and we had drawer three and they moved things off and we learn more about how they do it all of these things are coming out at the same time in the run up to the um 2026 election he seems very afraid that a bunch of stuff is going to get seized in the wake of the 2026

election. I hope so, but I'm not that I don't need that to be excited about what he's saying. I'm excited about what he's saying because he's basically proving us right. He's been on a freak out mode. And just to correct the record, I got to correct the record. The 1920 inch ballot thing is false. It was actually the Sequoia Edge AVC voting machines that were in America County. And Venezuela designed the software for the poll books that were manufactured in America, American companies in America, but by Venezuelans. Sitting in a glass room in Venezuela, rigging our elections. And for those that don't know, we're talking about the Ralph Pizzoulo book,

stolen elections riddled with errors, one of the worst books I've ever read in my entire life, most factually inaccurate books I've ever read my entire life. Last night claimed that Maricopa County was using the Sequoia Edge AV-C voting systems in 2020 and 2022 in Maricopa County. And that is why they had the major issues in 2022 during Kerry Lake's election, ignoring the court case that went on that proved it was the 19 inch ballot configuration setting on the Lexmark, not Lexa Pro, but Lexmark printers. So yeah, that was a joke that we were making there. Yeah, I mean, you need Lexa Pro to navigate this story, but it was the Lexmark.

want to you want to know where that came from actually when i was when i went to the va one time they tried i've never taken an sr i in my life but they tried to prescribe me lexa pro and topa max and i put the two words together lexa mark max oh got it topa mark or whatever anyways uh but yeah that's that's the tangent i went off on but yeah mark elias is in full-blown freak out mode and and and for good reason for good reason he's terrified they're gonna learn how they do it. That's effectively what he's saying. And I am really enjoying this version of Mark Elias. He is giving us content for days and he is making me feel way better about where we're going with election integrity. Yeah. And he's also freaking out about actual processes of the law

being followed and misattributing them to Trump's vendetta somehow, a grand jury subpoena that shares the same exact vendetta as President Trump, I guess, or maybe just people actually give a shit about our elections. You know, I'm trying to think if it's better to go to the voter roll story first and the Save Act, or if it's, because he touched on both. Let's play this clip here, John Solomon, talking about a story that's going to be coming down the pipeline, but the most interesting thing is the phase two of five comment you'll see here in a second, and we'll talk about that. The next 10 days, Steve, we're going to have a lot more. We are going to be able to get for the first time. I've been able to start processing these documents,

a large body of evidence that's in the intelligence community that raises concerns about foreign interference in our election. That'll probably be the end of this week or early next week. The documents are explosive. They're really remarkable. And what's most remarkable is that all this has been cat a seep from the American people, possibly President Trump in some cases, until recently, of course, when his team told them. I think there's a lot there. And then in between those two things, we're going to reveal another code named FBI investigation that targeted President Trump, one you've never heard of before, one that may be among the most troubling. We have crossfire hurricane, of course.

We've got plasmic echo, and we have the third one that targeted the January 6th investigation, Arctic Frost. Have you ever heard a plasmic echo? I just caught that. What is plasmic echo? I'm looking it up real quick for the machines run down. Plasmic Echo was the FBI's code name for its criminal investigation and President Donald Trump's handling a classified national defense documents began in 2020 and focus on possible violations of espionage act and obstruction of justice related to the retention of sensitive material. So it's like Arctic Frost with a different name.

Who's the target? Trump. And his allies. supporters or just Trump? I don't I don't know. It says an FBI summary date of February 22nd, 2024, confirm the case ID Plasmic Echo, mishandling of classified or national defense information.

Court filings revealed that a close associate urged Trump to return all materials warning, don't give them a noble reason to indict you because they will. I don't know. I don't know. First time I've heard that, so I just thought that was interesting. All right, let's keep going. Mag says you must be using. Mag says you must be using perplexity because she looked at

I definitely got the same answer and was reading along with you. Were you using perplexity for your son? I'm using that was Google Brave. Oh. Or not Google Brave, but Brave, which is Google platform. All the AIs are starting to sound like each other. Oh yeah. I mean,

I don't do the paid perplexity anymore so I get the basic searches on it. I just use GROC, chat, GBT, and perplexity, all three at the same time and compare the answers. That's what I do too. It's really deeply troubling. It's troubling to the FBI. It's troubling to the intelligence community. It seems to involve speech delimiters.

In other words, if you said something or you spoke a certain way about a certain issue, you potentially were deemed a national security threat to the United States and you were put under an assessment in potentially criminal investigation. So I learned of this operation because I was targeted in 2022. I had to cooperate with the Justice Department. When the Justice Department and I talk, they realized that their entire theory of the case, was ludicrous. But as a result of that, I've been on a two and a half three year mission to get these documents, to get the truth out about what happened. Recently, FBI agents working for Cash Patel found this operation, found the skiff that it was hiding, hot, found the code word name for it, found the prohibited access file. So one of the things that Chris Rays people did is they would start these political investigations targeting Trump

or even someone else, they would keep it off the books. Most people could not see it in the FBI Sentinel system. This one was one of those well hidden as a result of some senior leadership that worked around Cash Patel. You know, there were people that were in this era that knew what was going on. In some cases, maybe even been required to work on certain things. They knew what was going on and they've been guiding Cash Patel to these records and helping him find these records in the labyrinth of secrecy that Chris Ray's FBI created.

So these senior executives are really helping uncover some really jaw-dropping stuff. And I think in the next couple of days, people will see that as well. So the focus in this grand jury subpoena that went in the last few days to Maricopa County seized many gigabytes of election data is the 2024 election, which is interesting because President Trump won there. But there is a discovery that was made by congressional observers. year the House administration committee sends observers one Democrat one Republican to various voting centers one of the teams the Republican Democrats team that went to Maricopa County observed

something very disturbing they took pictures they wrote a long report congressman Abe Hamaday hinted at this in an oversight letter recently the information in that report was so troubling to the FBI and when coupled to the things that the Arizona Senate found in 2020 that were raised as concerns and the things that Hamaday and Kerry Lake raised in 2022, they were able to get a grand jury subpoena from a federal grand jury and execute the transmission of a large amount of voter data. They're going to go through that data looking for some of the telltale signs that were in this congressional report. I hope in the next couple days to make that congressional report public so everybody can see what it was that observers on Brian Stiles House administration committee saw

Brian Stahl himself acknowledged that they were working with federal authorities on this specific Arizona matter. So you got Congress working with the FBI. And I think this is phase two of about a five phase look at states, particularly blue states or blue areas of states where elections are not administered the way the law says they're supposed to be. And as a result, the FBI may come in and prosecute people because it is a federal felony if you don't follow your state's laws. We don't. Okay. So we can kind of land that there. So broadly, you know, I think John Solomon kind of is the political wind, right?

He's like he's like the barometer of how the investigations are going. What's going to come out? He's kind of the prophecy, so to speak. He kind of lays out what's going to be coming out. Is it going to be something big? I don't know. I've reached out to some people that I know with, you know, close connections and haven't heard anything about anything big coming out in the coming

days but the thing that I thought was really interesting he said there at the end was this is phase two of what he believes to be a five phase process and phase one I would imagine and he's talking about maricopa being phase two I would imagine Fulton county was phase one phase two would be uh mericopa phase three you know we kind of I think it was maybe you and I or it might have been Zach that asked me to predict what I think the next state would be and I said I think it's going to be Michigan. You and I were talking about it on text. Maybe that's. Yeah, I don't think we did that on the air. Okay. Well, either way, I think the third state, phase three, so to speak, will be Michigan and then

followed by either Colorado or perhaps Pennsylvania. I think there's a lot coming out with Griswold right now. I think she's the low hanging fruit in my opinion. The bio is we have to go through the process of Georgia, Maricopa, Michigan, Pennsylvania. Wisconsin and then Colorado because Colorado is the election fraud test kitchen. Yeah, but everybody says that though. Well, actually Holly's Holly at altitude said it. She was she was the one that that made it and with the domestic headquarters the um so Colorado domestic headquarters for Dominion voting systems is the the pilot program and development state for risk limiting on

It is the, when they call it the gold standard of elections, what they're referring to is kind of what Halderman describes as the paper record undergirding the system that gets you, you have a paper record combined with risk limiting audit. So we mitigate all of the issues with the machines, all the things that they talked about before 2020, the Democrats talked about in kill chain and in court records and then the curling case, these vulnerabilities, these issues with elections, they're mitigated when you adopt the system that Colorado uses. And they all say that. They all put up Colorado as the exemplar for how we mitigate these problems, which is why I think it's going to be the last one. Could be. That would make sense.

And again, I think I still think Griswold is the lowest hanging fruit of all of the cases out there with the BIOS password story. It's the lowest something. Yeah. All right. So let's just do this. Town. Jenna needs to go to prison. but here's the problem.

If Jonestown, Jenna goes to prison, the rest of those guys are going to walk. And she's the puppet. She's not an elections expert. She's not that smart. When you ask her about how elections are run, she will just repeat some clickbaity kind of talking point. Like two sets of passwords? There's two sets of passwords. Yeah, but you leaked one of one of those sets of passwords.

And you didn't tell the clerks and you lied to them about it. And yeah, but there's two sets of passwords. That's what you're getting with Jenna Griswold. The real conspirators that actually did what they did here, did the password thing, all of that, those people are going to walk because Jenna Griswell will be scapegoated. I'll still be happy when she goes to prison, but it's not enough for sure. That's a good point. That's a good point. She's the fall guy.

She is definitely the fall guy. And none of these elected officials in those positions have any idea what they're doing. Raffinsberger in Georgia has no clue what he's doing. I design. That's right. It's so they have to rely on the experts. The experts are the NGO. association outside of the chain of command can't be considered acting as an arm of the government

don't have any oversight don't have any open records responsibilities they're the experts that everybody in government defers to and they have zero oversight there it's it's maddening if you think too hard about it which is why you know people don't want you to think too hard about it which is why brian and i are inconvenient yep um all right we got another shows for why we vote now got another sponsor to take care of here. And then we're going to get into California and their ballot initiative signature drive. Yeah, it's kind of interesting. Wait a little you see this clip here. Before we do that, though, let's go ahead and hit this sponsor. It's a new era for America First International Assistance. President Trump has been clear. America won't hesitate to act and we won't

write blank checks. From now on, U.S. assistance will be strategic, accountable, and tied to results that make America safer and more secure. Stronger borders, tougher enforcement, and real cooperation to stop illegal immigration and keep deadly drugs out of our communities. America First assistance will stabilize fragile regions before crisis reach our shores, strengthen key partners and support Americans, farmers, manufacturers, and workers. 80% of Trump voters support such an international assistance. And to Beijing, if you're using aid to buy influence and control, the game is changing.

America will lead with strength, with purpose, and with conditions that put our security first. All right. And let's jump into this clip here. This is a group that's allegedly, allegedly, fundraiser, or excuse me, trying to garner signatures for ballot initiatives sponsored by an organization called Building a Better California. And let's go ahead and play this clip here. Hey, hey, what's the line for? Uh, for sign a petition. You get 25 bucks to sign a petition. They get 25 bucks?

Five bucks. Okay. Did you have to have your ID? Um, I'm not sure. Okay. So we can fast forward to who? I am? I don't know.

Tell. What name do you got? What name is that? The problem. Jeffrey Crocker. We'll be here on it. You only time two of them so far. Yeah.

Gribling. He signed two of. Oh. I'm sorry, two of them. Yeah, I know. I know. It's going to get $5 soon? Yeah.

And what is it? Just sign it. Yeah. You ready, ma'am? First name is going to be Carol. Last name is Sanderson. This is the address right here. This is the city of the beach.

Who is it called? Oh, okay. Remember, first name is okay. She telling her what name to sign? Yes. Yes. How? So they're giving out $5.

They've got a long ass line. Absolutely it's illegal. You have a long ass line of like homeless people and you know, down and out people in line to get their five bucks. They go up there. They're telling you the name, the address and everything else that we're going to be signing for. And then you sign the name.

And when we say it's fake, we get yelled at. It's fake in every level. It's fake where they draw the districts. It's fake when they get measures on the ballot. It's fake when they get candidates on the ballot. It's fake when they do the voting. It's fake when they count it. It's fake when they shut it down afterwards.

Are those people going to go to prison? Is it because do you do you have the statute? No, I'm going off the top of my head. Because every count, right? Every single signature should be a separate. count under that statutory violation of paying people for their signatures on a petition. If we're using the Tina Peters standard of justice, every name should be an additional statutory violation. And I wonder how many of them forms of felony. Yeah. So Laura Powell puts this

out on X. The video appears to show signature gathers for ballot initiative sponsored by building a better California recently formed political group bankrolled by prominent tech billionaires. It is illegal to offer money or anything of value in exchange for a person's signature on initiative petition. It's also illegal to knowingly cause fake signatures to be added. Campaigns typically hire independent signature gathering agencies to collect petitions and wouldn't be responsible for rogue actions by individual circulators or the agency. In 2018, the LA district attorney charged nine people with felonies for paying homeless residents with $1 bills and cigarettes to forge signatures on ballot measure

petitions and vote. voter registration forms. A spokesperson for building a better California, Abby Lunardi, told me via email that they were aware of the video and have contacted the signature gathering agency to reject any petitions from the circulator in the video. What are the odds that you think they actually reject any of those ballot signatures? I don't. But if it was for a ballot petition that the state didn't want, they'd reject a bunch of them. Well, so I looked up the building better. It says Building Better California is primarily funded by prominent tech billionaires in 2026. In January 2026, it was established with $35 million raised, including $20 million from Google co-founder, Sergey Brin, contributors from former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, venture capitalist Michael Moritz, and others cryptocurrency investor Chris Larson, Peter Thiel, John Doer, Tony Zhu, Max Levchen, Patrick Colison, and Stuart Resnick of Wonderful Company.

So a bunch of billionaires funding this operation. You know, what they bring up, the point they bring up about, you know, they outsource the signature gathering, plausible deniability. You know, I'm giving it to you. You go ahead and do whatever you got to do. Results matter. We can't be held accountable for these rogue actors. It's like the CIA.

That's got to change, man. That's got to change. That video right there. When the woman, like the $5 thing, yeah, that's concerning. That's very concerning. They don't actually get a transfer of money on video. but showing her and saying you are Carol Sanderson and here's your address and make sure you sign Carol. Holy shit.

Yeah. That's wild. Shit. Every signature is a felony. Two. Two felonies. For the ones that are fake that are not that person that you know that you listed two separate statutory violations. Yeah.

For every single one. Compound it. But throw those, you, you, you threaten those ladies with the appropriate prison time for all of those statutory violations, I bet they might flip and they can roll it all up. All right. So I'm going to take a, we're going to start wrapping up here. I am going to actually, you know what? Let's take a quick pause before we get into this next story. Because this is a personal privilege story for me. This is my, my moment of personal privilege here. But before we do that, let's get a word from Tiny Bright. Legend says on St Patrick's Day, a beard without oil is just a chin with ambition. But a beard with soft disclosure beard oil, that's true treasure. Spiced vanilla, naked, smooth as a leprechaun's getaway plan. Soft enough to impress your barber, bold enough to confuse a baby goat.

And this bore bristle brush tames your beard like it holds the crown coin. Every bottle is American made, which means when you buy soft disclosure, you're supposed to be a bit of a bit of a bit of a small-disclosure, you're supposed to be able to be able to be a big goat. Disclosure, you're supporting six American small businesses. That's not luck. That's capitalism with cheekbones. And while you're at it, try our mint green deodorant, because even legends need fresh pits. Soft disclosure, go for gold. Visit softdisclosure.com and use promo code tiny bright for 15% off.

He's saying it's not been evaluated by the FDA. So good. So good. We got to tell us in the chat what merch, which part of that you want, the merch. Do you want him running from the bear on like a shirt or a mug or just like the face or like what do you what do you want to see? We will make that happen for you. Oh, that's awesome. All right guys. So again, soft disclosure.com promo code tiny bright and let's go ahead and jump into this. It's not really a story. It's a it's something that's going around the internet and this is going to backfire royally in the quote unquote Democrats. I hate the Democrat Republican fights. But. This is one of them. So this was put out on X.

A Comprehance, there's an ongoing battle right now because apparently I don't even know the source of the information, but apparently it came out that the Department of War is spending like $6 million or $7 million a month to buy steak and lobster for our active duty troops. And they're serving it at the chow halls, forward deployed, and all this stuff. I don't know why this story is getting so much attention right now, but this guy here, Luther Abel, put out a list of all the influencers and leftist people that are making a comparison of this to snap fraud. This is like their comeback to snap fraud. Like you guys caught us in Minnesota with the Somali daycare fraud and all the snap violations and everything else. Well, we're going to get you with steak and lobster for our troops. Okay, that's not going to work out too well.

Molly Jong Fas, some of the frivolous September purchases made under Secretary Pete Heggseth stewardship include $98,000 Steinway Grand Piano for the Air Force Chief of Staff's Home, a $5.3 million for Apple devices such as the new iPad, and an astronomical number amount of shellfish, including, where did I leave off, including $2 million for Alaskan king crab, $6.9 million worth of lobster tail. Lobster tail is apparently a favorite of Hegset's Pentagon. The department spent more than 7.4 million on luxury items, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. Some more of the examples we got out here, Jamel Hill. But Snap recipients are the real problem. That's her response to that. What a dumb bitch.

Like that the people that are fighting for America get steak and lobster is being drawn in comparison to snap benefit recipients yeah uh medi hasan same thing hey doge pointing at it joseph allen pete heggsett two million crab legs representative jim mcgovern on his official account shared molly jong fast but still no health care for you still not the role of the federal government dumbass yeah so you know i wanted to put this to bed real quick because when i was in the marine corps from 2008 to 2013 we ate steak and lobster too that was not under secretary of war pete hexed that was under barraq obama because is that because you hate snap recipients right no not at all you know so when you're forward deployed when you're forward deployed you you get steak and lobster on friday nights

it's like a friday night treat for the troops and it's limited you know there isn't like it's not like all you can eat or anything it's shitty it's not good food I mean, it's good compared to what we've been eating, but it's like a treat. And I've told the story on sit rep before when we were in Afghanistan in a forward deployed base, a forward operating base, a fob, in the middle of like nothing. It was it was 60 guys on a hill with nothing around us, except, you know, Afghans, drug lords, Taliban, whatever you want to call it. Every day, we were getting in firefights for the first, you know, probably three or four months of our deployment. On November 10th, the Marine Corps birthday, they air dropped us lobster. It was like the coolest thing ever.

Packed on dry ice. Most of the guys were like, I'm not eating that. It came on a bird and I'm like, smelled it, no ammonia. I'm like, it's good to go. And I sat there, I ate like 10 of them, 10 of them, man. First real food I'd eaten in three months. That was under Barack Obama. I don't like Barack Obama one bit.

Never even crossed my mind to criticize him for giving steak and lobster to forward deployed troops. okay. It's because you don't want people to have health care. And SNAP recipients. Yeah. Here's the other thing. And a lot of people don't know this. And these retards that are freaking out about this don't know this.

We pay for that in the military. It's not free. Just like SNAP recipients, right? Oh, wait. No, they don't pay for that. No, they don't. Because if you're receiving you're not in the taxable threshold. So no, they don't.

pay for it at all we pay for that let me let me break this down for you your e3 right now lance corporal in the marine corps makes 22 000 377 per month 2,377 per month that's about 600 dollars per week okay think about that in a job that's 24-7 now granted we only show up to work on certain days but we can be called in at any time we can be called in for duty we miss holidays because we got to stand duty we get deployed We go to training ops in the field for a week at a time. We don't get extra pay for going to the field. We do get combat pay and stuff when you're deployed.

But we're making $600 a week as an E3, which is the majority of our troops are at that level. Or the one of the largest rank structures up to E3. We pay for that. There's what's called basic allowance for subsistence that comes out of our checks, BAS. And that is what funds the Chow Halls, the mess hall, and all of that stuff so these fucking retards that are out here comparing steak and lobster to snap and health care what a bad look man yeah should be there's a lot of stupid people so there are people that will think that Jamel Hill is

making a good point but I stand by my largely involuntary response that she's a dumb bitch Jamel Hill you fucking retard and I I hate putting the swear word and the R word together, but she's definitely... It's like compounding the insult. It makes it better. I will never consider a retard and insult. Anybody that considers retard and insult to mentally handicapped people do not understand. I didn't say to mentally handicapped.

No, no, no, no, that's the argument that's made. And I've laid this out many, many times. If you call, if you, to say you can't use retard because it disparages mentally handicapped people is disparaging mentally handicapped people because retard means that you are stopping yourself from something that you are capable of doing. And I will stand by that until the day I die. Jamel Hill is retarded. Agreed.

Okay. And just real quick to people in the chat, when you are deployed, you're not paying BAS. So when you're deployed, you're not paying for that food. It's when you're not deployed, which has been where we've been for most of the time. But yeah, if you're in garrison, you're paying BAS, basic allowance for subsistence. Yeah, grumpy old man says, wait, you have to pay for your meals. Really? Yeah, that was my response exactly. I'm like, hang on a second.

What? Yep. So the $2 million that they're complaining about the line item ostensibly in Pete Hags' budget is actually accounted for in the money that you guys pay as part of your package. Yeah. Mom of two said BAS amount for enlisted members, including E3, receive a monthly tax free allowance of $460 for food and drink. And if you are enlisted in the barracks and you live in the barracks, that 460 is automatically deducted from your paycheck. If you live out in town, it is not.

So I was married, so I lived out in town. I didn't have to eat in the barracks, although I ate at the chow halls. You know what my chow hall was called in the Marine Corps? Like the actual name of my chow hall in 2010 at First Battalion 8th Marines, the Jim Crow Chow Hall. Nice. I thought that was always so funny. Do they still call it that? I think it is still called the Jim Croke.

Yeah. Well, the Democrats will try to keep that and it's their legacy. All right. So I don't know. We do have a few rants. So let's go ahead and jump into these. There we go. All right.

Makes sense to me. Done with Iran. The school that was hit had no kids. It was on the IRGC base was full of ammo. and the principal, lock the doors. I am not touching that schoolgirls story until there is absolute clarity on it because there is just pure propaganda

from both sides getting poured on that story. So I'm not touching that. It's also the premise of what turned sergeant, I think Sergeant Brody in the show Homeland is the cover up of a bombing on a school. And I just watched that show actually one of my friends who's in DHS was watching the show at the same time as we were talking about that and the kind of bombings and whatnot.

But I thought it was interesting that that came up in this story. You know how we were talking about having Jack Ryan. It's like Venezuela and Iran and Syria and it's like wow, this is ripped from the right now headlines. Homeland is kind of like that too. Choose your own too's your own bad guy. It's almost like CIA has their thumb on Hollywood in some former fashion. I mean, Homeland Claire Daines told who was it? Colbert, I think, yeah, that they were consulting with the CIA for it. Yep. Yep. Yeah, the only reason I'm not touching that story is because everything surrounding it is just inconclusive as all hell. And they're taking this pixelated picture and they're like, hey, we got this little picture and because of this, we can tell it was a Tomahawk. And then you're also like, well, it could have been a 55 as well. So who knows, who knows?

But that's important too, Brian, to point out where we don't know and everything is based on speculation because there's very few outlets that will take that position. Whatever the position coming out of, you know, whether it's the Jamel Hill types of the world or the Pete Haguesef types of the world, whichever side of that divide you're on, you know, the majority of folks are going to grab whatever the headline is and forward it as though it's a fact. And as you said, we don't really have any facts on this case yet. All right. Makes sense to me. He says to expand just a bit. Ozzy man did actual journalism and found metadata anomalies around the incident. I talked with Grock about it and the metadata times slash timestamps are indeed manipulated.

What is this about Ozzy man? I think on that the first part was the bombing, no. The principal, yeah, I think she's talking about the school. Oh, I skipped over one. Okay. You did, but that was, you read the second part, I think, of the first part. That worked, actually. I thought you did that on purpose.

Interesting. I'll have to check that out. Ozzy, man. I'll look that up. Aussie Mick says, good morning, y'all. I actually work with the Ukrainian, supposedly ex-military over there. He absolutely hates Russia. He flips the F out.

If someone says he's Russian, he's a colossal prick. Thank you. Both. I cannot be for the life of me. can't imagine a Western European Western Ukrainian as off battalion aligned ex-military member being a prick. I can't for the life of me imagine that. Sorry. I mean, I would I would just call him Russian all the time. Total sarcasm. A buddy of mine that I serve with. I know that's shocking to everyone, but I would literally just call him Russian all the time. A buddy of my, yeah, yeah, so would I.

A buddy of mine I served with and the Marines went over to Ukraine and did like militia work over there. and it's really funny like seeing him talk about it because I know what a shitbag he was in the Marine Corps and like like he makes all these war stories. I'm like you never did any of that stuff. I know because I was there like that kind of stuff. And so he comes back and he's talking about all the shit he saw in Ukraine. I was like, oh, just like in Afghanistan when you did nothing because like you were such a shitbag that we put you off on the side. Yeah. Yeah, that didn't happen.

But he's a he's a complete prick about a lot of this stuff. So, Quilting Queen 17, happy hump day. Today I'm not discombobulated. I'm Twitter pated. Love you guys. It would be ex-cated.

Families are served steak and lobster on Christmas Day on the docked sub 1972. It's a tradition in the military. Like Jamel Hill, you look seriously retarded saying this.

This is not new. It's not new. It's not a gotcha against SNAP recipients, okay? You know, funding our military or health care, Jim McGovern. I mean, that was just a, I saw this and I was like, this is a joke, right? And then like I think Christina Wong posted something about it. And, you know, let me see if I could find it real quick. She actually posted a pretty cool. Yeah, so undercover brother said civilian perception, maybe wildly off. reality and that that's exactly it like when you get your steak and lobster that's what it looks

like it's microwave lobster it's not even like boiled and then whatever and it's a steak that's maybe maybe medium well but usually well and you're eating it with a plastic fork a plastic knife you get a sugar packet salt and pepper if you're lucky and uh christina wong said not going to lie definitely would so there we go uh yeah this that's a really bad look for them going after that and jim mcgoverned All they have are bad looks, Brian.
