Badlands Media - Badlands Daily: 3/23/26 - Border Policy Breakdown, NGO Influence, and the System Behind Mass Migration

Episode Date: March 23, 2026

In this March 23 episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Zak Paine examine the systems and incentives driving mass migration and ongoing border challenges. The hosts focus on how current border policy is being implemented in practice, breaking down the roles of government agencies and outside organizations involved in processing and relocating migrants. CannCon and Zak discuss the influence of NGOs and how their involvement shapes both the scale and structure of migration flows. The conversation explores how funding mechanisms, logistical coordination, and policy decisions intersect to create a system that appears to operate beyond simple enforcement or deterrence. The episode also highlights the disconnect between public messaging and on the ground realities, with the hosts emphasizing the importance of understanding the full network of actors involved. Throughout the discussion, they frame the border situation as a system driven by incentives, coordination, and policy design rather than isolated decisions.

That's a hell of a... 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 narrative. All right, good morning, Badlandia. Welcome to Badlands. Haley joined on this lovely Monday morning by the one and only Red Pill 78, Zach Payne, himself. What happened? Brian, I'm so happy to be here and is a beautiful Monday morning. I haven't even looked at the news.

So I'm waiting. I'm waiting to hear what craziness has occurred in the last 24 hours. Oh, man, there's all sorts. There's actually a lot to talk about on so many different fronts. Apparently, Zach, I don't know if you caught this, but apparently our commercial aircraft can plow through fire trucks. Thick, thick, thick, concrete eye beams with no problem. them, but at 24 miles an hour, a fire truck will obliterate it.

Yeah, I remember, you know, questioning the accepted laws of physics back in 2001, just amazed at the resiliency of American aircraft technology at that time. I did. I saw that yesterday, and I thought that it was pretty staggering, the amount of damage that was done at such a low speed. I mean, I didn't see what happened to the fire truck. I would imagine it was, you know, maybe got pushed a little bit, but I mean, was it virtually unscathed? That's a great question.

That is a fantastic question. Yeah, I got no answer to that, but we will get to the story here in just a second. I do want to, real quick, I've been not putting this off deliberately, but it comes up and it accidentally been missing this. But we had a badlands boost last week from carrying the fire seven. that said what a time to be alive it's even affecting the children my 22 year old daughter went behind my back to get the covid jab my more conservative daughter comes home from school talking about israel lizard people rockefellers and the epstein files oh what a roller coaster that is i imagine your thanksgiving must be absolutely fantastic you know i've um i've got i've got a

young daughter myself she was born in in 2001 okay so know she'll be 25 this year and well actually i've got two daughters i mean because you know i've got a daughter because i married lisa and then i've got my daughter uh that i've had my whole life but they both have the same what's that your whole life or her whole life well i mean her whole life yes that is a more accurate statement to make but they both have the same name they were both born in the same year they were born within one month of each other and they are both you know they're they're similar and dissimilar in very particular ways. My daughter grew up her whole life hearing me talk about this stuff.

And I think that when she got to a certain point, it made her rebel, like the exact opposite of like what parents, what kids normally do. Like kids normally rebel against their parents, but usually parents are not telling them about lizard people and how Barack Hussein Obama was a CIA cut out and how the elections were stolen. And so my daughter rebelled away from that for a period of time. And then I almost brought her around with President Trump, but she's still caught in the trap of like left wing thinking. Although I do notice every single time that we speak that she's just moving a little bit closer to the center. And then as such, I mean, she's moving to the right. That's the only thing I can hope for.

Absolutely. Absolutely. I mean, my other daughter is totally loves Trump. Well, that's always good to hear. Again, these make for fascinating dinner conversations, because I've got in my household probably about 70% aligned with President Trump. And then, you know, a couple individuals that are, you know, more moderate, you know, not, I don't want to say moderate because President Trump himself is moderate, but more on the left and then just a couple that are flaming left. And so that always makes like you bring up politics at our dinner table on one of the holidays. And it, you never know. where it's going to end up. Who's going to storm out of the house first? What usually it's either my sister or my brother. Well, the ones in my family, my dad's side of the family is basically totally right. My mom's side of the family has a contingency that is very, very far left. I was just talking with her about this yesterday.

Her sister during President Trump's first administration, she was just the most virulently TDS, anti-any-anything-related to Trump. Trump person and she made sure to tell everybody about it. She was very, very vocal. And then it was hilarious to see the switch flip in 2020. And suddenly she came to the table wanting peace and unity and for everybody to just, you know, move on with their lives. And don't you think we've had enough of going at each other?

And, and then as soon as President Trump comes back, she flips once again back to her old behavior, doesn't want to have a conversation, just. really, really upset about everything. When they have the power, they all want peace. But when they don't have the, when they have the peace, they all want the power. That's right. And peace involves your submission. Yeah, real quick, we did have one more, uh, RumbleRamp from Sea Meadows on Friday.

How exactly does California plan to get the mountain lines to use their bridge rather than cross anywhere other than the manmade bridge? These people are retarded. They are. Did you see this story last week? this this bridge in california they spent like a hundred and twenty million dollars on a bridge that is literally just vegetation and stuff from mountain lions to cross over a 10 lane highway so if if you look at we me and chris were talking about this on friday if you look at the

zoomed out view of like where the bridge is and everything they're literally dumping these mountain lions from one side of you know the wilderness into residential communities oh wow so i am aware of that and i am aware of the cost mostly my interest comes in in terms of the massive waste and lack of planning that goes into it so there is actually a need for wildlife crossings on freeways and highways it's just that they normally cost maybe five to 10 million dollars at most and that is full completion right there now these have been built successfully there there's a a uh a highway that basically like you know split the east and and the West and that has created a place for all type of wildlife to be able to cross over and uh in

terms of like the financial cost wildlife accidents can cause up to eight billion dollars in damage a year okay from the just you know damage to people's vehicles and you know infrastructure there's all kinds of stuff that comes along with it so small amount of cost to get a much bigger payback over time And it's just that in California, you can't do anything that isn't totally Fubbard. $120 million for one of these crossings and for it to go into a residential area, that doesn't make any sense at all. And in the areas where I've seen them successfully implemented, it's allowing wildlife to cross from one wild zone into another zone. And then at the same time, and they're built with intention. So, I mean, you can see the areas on highways where you tend to have moose accidents or you tend to have deer crossings or, you know, a bear crossings, all of these things.

And yeah, it really is a shame, unfortunately. You know that $120 million went straight into a bunch of people's pockets. Amen. All right. Let's jump into our sponsors.

jump into the news and the big story over the weekend robert muller has gone on to meet his maker President Donald Trump, truthing out, Robert Mueller just died. Good. I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people. President Donald J. Trump. Savage, bro. I mean, I couldn't have said it any better myself.

I mean, you think about how many people Robert Mueller directly, their lives that he's wrecked. And there's a reason that he became the FBI director just days before 9-11. took place. And of course, he was also instrumental in helping Hillary Clinton, helping Hillary Clinton to essentially give away our strategic uranium reserves. I mean, the list of sins that you could pin on Robert Mueller's, Robert Mueller's lapel is long. And I was going to say, I don't know that he directly met his maker, but he certainly met something in the afterlife. Well, he met somebody. Yeah. He met somebody. Um, but yeah, so let's go ahead.

We got this clip here, Scott Besson. They're trying to have that gotcha moment with Scott Besson. And you know, I've seen a lot of people on X, you know, saying, oh, Besson really stuck it to him. I don't know that he did. I, you know, I think he did a decent job, but I think he could have gone a lot deeper on this. Check this out. American citizen, someone who's a bronze star purple heart recipient and who served in

Vietnam. Kristen, I was with the president in the green room at Davos and there was a video playing of the what may have been an illegal raid on his home at morlargo they are going through his wife's wardrobe and i watched the look in his eye and i think that neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and to his family but to the question of of the president's post i mean robert muller didn't order that raid is it appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of any american citizen again i think that given what has been done to president Trump and his family, it is impossible for either of us to understand what he has been through.

So you don't think that there's anything wrong with the post, say, good Robert Mueller's day? Again, I think that we should all have a little empathy for what has been done to him and his family. So the reason, Zach here that I say that that fall short is because, you know, like Welker mentions there, Mueller didn't really technically have anything to do with the raid on Mara Lago, technically. Now, granted, there's a lot of evidence and stuff that was introduced by, you know, Mueller and cohorts of Mueller, you know, co-conspirators that led to that. But there's been so much more, and you alluded to a lot of it before we got going there, 9-11, right? Coming in as 9-11, obviously the spies who lie, you know, going after President Trump, and literally subverting his entire first term to where he's playing defense. against these Russia, Russia, Russia claims.

I mean, this was literally an act of subversion, not just against the president, but against the entire American population. And knowingly, by the way, you know, we're finding out now that all of this, you know, was a deliberate plan. I think we've all known this, but a lot of the others are finding out now the, you know, the intention of this plan, the planning and execution of it behind the scenes with people like Mueller and Brennan and Clapper and the Clintons. And so, you know, I don't in this particular case.

And normally I'd be the guy that's like, don't celebrate other people dying. It's not, you know, it's not a very good thing to do. In this case, I have no problem with it whatsoever. No, I don't have any problem with it either. And for me, you know, Kristen Welker is splitting hairs. Okay. I mean, the ongoing criminal conspiracy to destroy Donald Trump included Robert Mueller and many other people. And Robert Mueller may have been, you know, a part in the first term, but there's a reason that RICO cases do not have a statute of limitations because they extend far beyond the overt actions that take place, you know, in the year before they are actually brought before a grand jury.

Five, ten, fifteen years prior to that, not uncommon to see, especially amongst criminal networks such as the one that attempted to destroy President Trump and to, some degree is still ongoing to this day. So, you know, I'm personally not a huge fan of celebrating the death of anybody either. But I think President Trump is being honest and I have to be honest with you. That's the reason I love President Trump because he's not going to sugarcoat something. He's not going to come forward and do some maudlin tweet about, you know, what a hero Robert Mueller was because he'd be lying. Robert Mueller wasn't a hero.

Robert Mueller was, in my opinion, a traitor to his nation. And he was a man who used the power that was bestowed upon him to destroy many people, not only Donald Trump, but plenty of others. You know, there was a guy that was under investigation by the Mueller team who ended up killing himself. He did nothing at all, but he committed suicide. All right, I'd say that blood is on Robert Mueller's hands directly, whether or not he called for the raid on Mar-a-Lago. Is there anybody here who doubts if Robert Mueller thought that he could have raided Mar-a-Lago, that he wouldn't have done it? I don't think so. That's a fantastic point.

You know, the direct implications of his actions on American citizens. That's a really good point there. So Robert Mueller, Mueller, Mueller, Mueller, I've always said Mueller. Potato, potato. Exactly. He's dead anyways. Nevada, Nevada. Nevada.

I mean, and if I do pronounce. his name incorrectly, it's a sign of disrespect. I don't care. I simply don't care. All right. So let's jump into this clip here. Todd Blanche sat down with Katie Miller and was pressed on prosecutions. Why there's no prosecutions in the DOJ. What's going on with this and check this clip out. Why haven't we arrested? Clapper. Comey. Brennan. So many traders to our country. Why haven't we done more to hold people accountable? I think that, well, first of all, we, I'm not going to talk about any ongoing investigations, and I can't, but I think the Attorney General and myself, Director Patel,

are focused on nothing more than accountability. These are people who waged witch hunts against President Trump for only political purposes. Yet, I'm sure they're all guilty of committing various crimes, which I know you can't comment on, so we'll give you a pass. But don't you agree that we should hold people accountable who do these types of things? I think there's nothing more important in the Department of Justice and accountability. Yes, I agree with that. So, you know, a couple interesting things, but one thing that's really fascinating,

and that's the overall scope of that interview with Blanche sitting down with Stephen Miller's wife. And it's not, you know, it's, to me, that's a big deal. that Blanche, you know, had had the, you know, the balls to go and sit down for that interview. Miller, you know, I haven't listened to the whole interview, but Katie Miller apparently pressed him on a whole bunch of theories around, not just the Epstein files, but, you know, other things as well. So definitely it's only an hour long. So definitely a podcast I'll have to go back and watch maybe some point this afternoon or this evening. Yeah. But Blanche says, you know, these are ongoing investigations.

I'm not going to talk about them. And this is something that I think a lot of us at Badlands have have kind of expressed this that, you know, we all want the instant gratification, the instant satisfaction of like everybody's round up all at once and sent to Gitmo and executions and everything else. And it's like, guys, relax. Justice is not. It's a very slow process, especially when you're putting something as complicated as what we're witnessing together. We saw, you know, call me, they already tried to indict him once. That was unsuccessful. Now they've subpoenaed him and I mean, hundred. I think I think it's like 140 people. Yeah, somewhere. Yeah, around there, yeah. Yeah, go ahead. I'll give it to you. You know, I just, I, I feel the same way.

And when, and this is something that I have attempted to get across to the audience for years. This is not an investigation that can, that can be done lightly or sloppily. And we are talking about a vast network of criminals that, it encompasses far more than simply the United States of America. I absolutely understand that instant gratification. You want to see a perp walk. But I think Todd Blanche was very telling there in that interview. Just because we haven't seen those people go down or be indicted doesn't mean that we are not going to see those people indicted.

And given the vast nature and scope of their criminal activity, investigations, when done correctly, number one, do not leak. And number two, they take time because it needs to be bulletproof. And if there was no investigation, then Todd Blanche could have said, well, we haven't been able to attribute any criminal activity directly to the people that you want to see arrested. but he very slyly said, I'm not going to talk about ongoing investigations. And he told us, she asked about accountability. And he said the Department of Justice is focused entirely on bringing accountability. Now, I know accountability looks different to every single person, but in a general sense for the United States of America to bring accountability, that includes the indictment, the prosecution, and the imprisonment of those. people who have committed crimes against our nation. It's not simply crimes against Donald Trump,

but that right there is the predicate to get people under oath, have them testify, and investigate their activities. Listen to their communications. FISA goes both ways. And this is right now probably the only time in history that I am comfortable allowing FISA to be re-opted, basically, for another period of time because there's no way that I want FISA to go away in the middle of this most important investigation in the history of our country. So, you know, I, I, if there wasn't a true investigation seeking accountability, then we wouldn't have 130, 140 people having been subpoenaed in Florida. And, you know, on the James Comey Eastern District of Virginia case, which encompasses Letitia James, because the judge put them together and dismissed them together, the DOJ is

currently in the process of appealing that case. And we're very close. I mean, their arguments are sound. There is no language in the text that says the Department of Justice and the Attorney General only gets to appoint one interim U.S. attorney or that the Department of Justice doesn't have the power to, you know, run things in the way that they want to run things. You've got somebody you want in that job barring the Senate actually confirming someone. You've got to have somebody in that job. And what's really unfortunate is that the fact that this hasn't been established in a legal sense up until this point has left vast swathes of the United States of America without U.S. attorneys. And even if they have interim U.S. attorneys, I think that the Department of Justice is aware that any indictments that they bring are going to be immediately challenged and they're going to waste time. It's going to give people opportunity that they need to perhaps destroy evidence or come up with ways that they can collude as co-conspirates.

And so we're kind of in a holding pattern. We're in a standstill. But the one place that we don't have to worry about that is Florida. And that's where the grand conspiracy, grand jury, multiple are taking place currently. And specifically Fort Pierce, Florida in Judge Eileen Cannon's courtroom. And, you know, for those of you who aren't familiar with Florida, Fort Pierce is a very, very conservative district. It's a very rural. rural area, a lot of farms, you know, that kind of thing. And Fort Pierce is a great place to have this. So the jury pool you want. It's a jury pool that you absolutely would prefer. And, you know, normally I would say, well, you know, you should have a jury of your peers. Screw that shit, man. They put that to bed with the J6 prosecutions where they wouldn't let a single J6 defendant

leave the D.C. circuit to find a jury of their peers. So, you know, all these same people, when they have the same. methodology pushed back on them, you know, by, call it weaponizing, call it whatever you want. I mean, there is, there is, you know, basis, legal basis for them to, you know, have the, the grand jury in Fort Pierce, well, in that district, you know, Fort Pierce is encompassing West Palm Beach and everything else. Granted that that's where the raids on Marlago took place. A lot of the conspiring against him took place.

So again, yeah, I'm here for it. This is the key part right here. jury and being in Cannon's courtroom is a big deal. Now, I believe, and you correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe just because the grand jury takes place in Cannon's courtroom doesn't mean the trial. Oh, no, no. She's got the whole thing. Oh, she does. Okay. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's in, it's in her courtroom and that's where it's going to, uh, it's, it's, the whole thing is going to take place. And that's why James Clapper or, excuse me, John Brennan was so worried about having Eileen Cannon see this case because she's already seen the government, the deep state's

actions firsthand with the original special counsel investigation from Jack Smith down there in Florida. So she knows what the deep state will do. Motifish says that, you know, Zach, the system is protecting the perps. We can't rely on it for the solution. As unfortunate as it is, this system is the system under which the U.S. government operates. and we don't have any choice. However, we can use the system against itself. Now, the system is not some monolithic force.

What you have are pockets of extreme corruption. That's what you see up there in the District of Columbia, and it's why I always advocate for the abolishment of the D.C. district court, because your jury pool is overwhelmingly deep state. Your judges are all deep state. The U.S. attorneys that end up coming in and working at the, at the office there many of them are deep state not all of them and that's the thing it is not some monolithic force although oftentimes because of the power that it wields it appears that

way but the government the deep state these uh pockets of resistance they're made of people and unfortunately a lot of people are bad but not all people are bad so if this is not what we the only thing we can do is allow this justice to run its course And if that doesn't work, then I am open to ideas about what comes next. But I would hazard a guess and say that President Trump and his team, they were working on this plan to bring these people to justice for the entirety of his first term in office, for the four years of the shadow term. And as soon as they came back to Washington, D.C. And I see the changes that were made in D.C., the programs that were cut, the agencies that were, you know, essentially. clipped of their balls. And I think that there's a reason why President Trump and his people have

done it the way that they've done it because they understand the worst parts of this deep state machine. Okay. And they understand who was trustworthy, who wasn't. And even if they had people who were trustworthy, you know, the agencies themselves oftentimes have become so entrenched with those corrupt actions. It becomes very difficult. You know, I mean, the things that we've achieved thus far are setting us up for long-term success. And I do truly believe that we're going to see what needs to be done. Yep. I think we'll see it before the midterms too. I think that will be not the October surprise, but it will be, I think we'll see some of these indictments and purple walks before the midterms just to, you know, bolster the base and reinforce the, uh, the election. So yeah. And don't,

don't ever allow yourself to believe that President Trump is not the, greatest director of all time okay i mean that man knows how to command a scene all right he knows how to he knows how to put central casting to work and put these actors in place and president trump knows how to work the media okay like he is definitely doing everything that he's doing to give maximum visibility and effect so i i think that you're right i think that we would see something grand happening before then. All right. Let's just real quick, you know, we talked about Mueller and the, you know, the posts from President Trump. We got another passing away. And this one, I'm not going to say anything totally disparaging, but only fans founder Leonid Ravinsky has died

of cancer at the age of 43, reported by Election Wizard here on X. Interesting. So many people recently dying at such young ages. We just saw the, what was it, the actor from, what the hell was the TV show from our childhood that he was on? Escape my mind. But, you know, again, not anything great to say

about this guy, Revinsky, that died. I think Onlyfansk is a paramount part to the denigration of our society. You know, in basically teaching women that you can just sell your body online for 10 bucks a month and get your way. I don't know. Just not a highlight that I would want in my portfolio that I founded only fans.

But rest in peace. Well, I can't disagree with anything you've said. And I think that he has been single-handedly responsible for turning out millions and millions of young people, turning them into essentially hoarse on the internet. And I think a lot of those people are going to regret it when they grow up. And that's the last thing you want your kids coming across when they're searching for their mother on the internet. And it's going to be impossible for it not to happen.

It's really sad. Yeah. Folks in the chat pointing out James Vanderbeek, we definitely report on that. That's another one of those mysteries. but as far as I can see, I think L-34 was the first one that got it. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The dude from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That guy was on Buffy?

No, no, not that guy. Another guy that died. I think his name. I see the chat saying Xander Brendan. I think that might have been him. Oh, was that the vampire with a blonde hair? Yeah, let me see. No, no, no, no.

On Buffy the Vampire Slater, the TV show. Yeah, yeah. There was a vampire with blonde hair on Buffy and he went on to do a, okay, so that's him. Okay, so that's him. Okay. I didn't know that he had died. Is that recent? Yeah, it was over the weekend.

Well, yeah, James, you know, Leonid, I would imagine he was probably taking the advice of science. James Vanderbeek, not one of those people. He was an outspoken opponent of unnecessary shots in the arm. But I could see, I could see Ravinsky or whatever his name is being a recipient. Yeah. All right. Let's hit one more story briefly. We didn't, this story came up last week, kind of in a different location, but it's worth mentioning now. So NASA confirms meteor over Houston. A meteorite crashed through a Houston woman's roof in Houston this afternoon. NASA says the meteor was roughly three feet in diameter and weighed a ton. Granted, it's just a shard of the meteorite that

Crash the house, obviously a three foot meteor, you know, coming in at what, 35, 40,000 miles an hour would do some significant damage to a home. This one looks like a little rock that just kind of got stuck. But we're getting all this footage here. So you got this baseball game here. We used to going down in the background. But this, what I want to tie this into is a story we had last week that we didn't get to. And this has been, this phenomenon has been happening all of. over the United States for the last, you know, week or so.

This was Ohio and Pennsylvania. You got the one coming out in Ohio there. This one here in Pennsylvania. Although it could be the same one, I guess. Sure. Different perspectives. Either way, I can't help but I can't help but think about Greenland. I'm familiar with the concept in the script, but I've never seen the movie.

Oh, my goodness. You have it. It's so good. It's it's total, you know, beer. Popcorn fair. It's a really good movie. Part two, not so much, but I would highly recommend at least one. And then you'll definitely want to see part two.

But yeah, there it is. So we've got meteorites in Texas, meteorites in Pennsylvania. And I believe the same one, of course, seen in Ohio as well. So it's put on my conspiracy theory hat for a second. can't help but think of how similar that is to what we're seeing in the Middle East, the imagery that, you know, it looks exactly the same. A lot of these ballistic missiles that were being, we're being told or shot at Israel, Iran, all these other places, the ones that don't get intercepted kind of look just like that. And, you know, if there was some conspiracy to keep people from knowing that a Greenland type event was occurring intercontinental ballistic missiles would be a very uh way to cover that up it's pretty creative yeah it's very creative guys we're purely having a little bit of fun with that segment right

wouldn't that be nuts if we just get the red the the air horns going off all over the country take shelter it's all coming to an end you've got wild you've also got paradise another uh tv show that came out recently about you know pocket apocalyptic phenomenon that would cause the earth to destroy. And that one not caused at least directly by a meteor. It's like a massive explosion that takes place in the Arctic. Okay. Could have been caused by a meteor.

They don't clarify that. But it ultimately sends like tidal waves throughout the earth like six miles tall tidal waves. And just completely rearranged the earth. I saw the first season and I saw the first episode of the second season, but I haven't kept watching. I intend to, but I just haven't had time. Second season is very disappointing.

Not that it's not good, but it just abruptly ends. And you're like, what the hell? Unless it's still going. I don't know. Were they releasing those week by week? I believe they are, yeah. Oh, then maybe it's not done. Okay, okay.

So let me backtrack. So far, season two is pretty good. Okay. All right. Let's keep moving. So DHS, we got the DHS shutdowns, the TSA, getting dramatically affected. Let's play this clip here, New England, and then we'll get to Atlanta.

Atlanta is bonkers. I don't know if you've seen that video yet. 35 TSA agents have quit across New England since the partial government shutdown began. As you mentioned, it has union leaders concerned. It's a typical day at Logan. Travelers rushing to make their flight relieved to find minimal lines waiting for them in security. Yesterday we had two leave Boston and one leave. Bradley. But union leaders say that could soon change. JFGE, JFGE-E-27 President Mike Gazzagian, says 35 New England TSA agents have quit in recent

days, 25 here in Boston, and all tied to the ongoing partial government shutdown. They felt that it was going to be a secure, stable employment situation, and it turned out not to be. And two, they essentially ran out of money. And do you sort of see that next paycheck as sort of the cliff? I believe that that would be the cliff that we're all afraid of. going over. It is that 35 TSA agents have quit. All right.

So we'll land that there. So that's in New England, which, you know, is going to cause quite a headache. If you lose 25 or 35 TSA agents, it's going to put a lot of burden on the other agents. I mean, these, these guys, again, again, keep in mind that I firmly believe DHS is wildly unconstitutional. I believe that, you know, needs to be broken up. But in the meantime, you can't just rip that band-aid off all at once and not have a plan to treat the wound, so to speak. And right now, that seems what's happening. This was Atlanta.

I mean, this, I don't even know what to make of this. So this is the line for security at Atlanta. Security checkpoints. They're saying, In New England, excuse me, in Atlanta, they're saying three hours, get there three hours early for domestic flights. If you have checked bags, add time to that. International flights four hours early. And this is over the weekend.

It's only going to get worse as the shutdown continues there. Dude, I'm glad that I don't have to fly through Atlanta. When I go to Nashville for Guard, I made sure to get a direct flight. but I have to fly out of Jacksonville and I haven't seen well you know I mean I've had actually really good experiences at Jacksonville like Daytona is the dream okay like if you just want to get on a plane and get out of there that's awesome but it's rare that you're going to get a direct flight out of Daytona you're probably going to have to go someplace and there were it was connections in either Atlanta or in Charlottesville and both of those airports are horrendous

even when TSA is working. So I didn't want to do that. But, you know, I'll tell you what would, well, you said that you can't do this without having a plan. Ryan, this is the plan. Okay. I mean, they knew exactly what was going to happen if they defunded DHS, thereby defunding TSA.

And they know that the pressure and the inconvenience that is going to put on the American people by creating the situation that they have. And ultimately, I think that they were hoping that people would just blame it on Trump, you know, that they would blame it on the current ruling party. And I think that it's exactly the opposite. I mean, people understand that the reason we're in the situation we are is because it's the Democrats that refuse to bring the funding because they're fighting over essentially allowing illegal aliens to vote. That messaging has been dramatically more successful with America. And, you know, I think that if anything, you know, maybe,

maybe we could just do away with all this by putting the TSA back in the hands of the airports. You know, I mean, like, because it worked for many, many years. And if it wasn't for a false flag operation that created this, this agency, basically, back in 2001, then we could still be in that situation. And the TSA would continue to operate as they always normally had. I mean, if anything, airport security has gotten worse since TSA became a federal, a part of the federal government. And yeah, I'd like to, I'd like to do away with that. Elon Musk put out on X.

I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during the funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country. Ironically and hilariously, Jordan Sather responds, I identify as a TSA agent. Jordan, you might have committed a felony there. Just kidding. So President Trump puts this out on truth social regarding the shutdown. Says the radical left Democrats have hurt so many people with their vicious and uncaring ways. What they have done to the Department of Homeland Security are fantastic TSA officers. And most importantly, the great people of our country is an absolute disgrace.

If the Democrats do not allow for just and proper security at our airports and elsewhere throughout our country, ICE will do the job far better than ever done before. The fascist Democrats will never protect America, but the Republicans will. Just like the radical left allowed millions of criminals to pour into our country through the ridiculous and dangerous open border policy. The Republicans closed it all down. And now we have the strongest borders in America, American history. Likewise, I look forward to moving ICE in on Monday and have already told them, get ready. No more waiting, no more games.

President Donald J. Trump. Axios puts this out in response inside Dem's new gambit to win the DHS shutdown fight. And that is like, to me, that is a cringe headline. You know, talk about Americans. You know, I don't want to use the term suffering, but I think they are. Sure. About Americans that are missing flights to go to funerals or to go to, you know, you know, really important familial, familial events and things like that.

And Democrats are out here like, oh, yeah, we're weaponizing this. Yeah. This is our new gambit to win the shutdown fight. And it's all a narrative to them. That's all they really care about is the narrative. Who's to blame? So let me see if we can do something totally fake that nobody is going to get behind. But as long as we can use that and portray it to our voter base, that it is something that we did.

And Republicans said, no, they're the bad guys. That's all that this means to them. And to be fair, I'm sure the GOP. does the same exact thing but on its face i mean the mandate is clear president trump has the mandate the republican congress has the mandate the republican house and senate have the mandate and the democrats are standing you know as as as you know block they're stymieing every single thing that president trump is trying to do the save america act dhs funding uh because of ice you know those kinds of things before i get in this article you want to comment on on the trump truth or anything no i think

think it's interesting that he called them fascists i like i like that throw it right back at them uh from axios house democrats are launching a hail merry push to effectively end the department of homeland security's new now month long shutdown by funding all of its sub agencies except ice and custom borders protection cbp now the funny thing about it is they're already funded yeah they hope their planned discharge petition will at the very least defect blame on to Republicans. I mean, Axios gets it. Axios gets it. Everything I said right there.

This is nothing more than a narrative battle for Democrats to take the weight off of their shoulders, replace it on and place it on the Republicans' shoulders. Quote, it's not forcing any change, said Representative Don Byer from Virginia. In the meantime, we're making people hurt the long lines that can't make us more popular. Excuse me. The long lines that can't make us more popular. We're on the right side on ice, but not on the rest. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced that Democrats will file a discharge petition on a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard, and other non-immigration DHS agencies.

Discharge petitions can be used to force votes on legislation, opposed or ignored by the majority party leadership. If one is signed by 218 members, it forces a vote. Okay. So let's unpack what they just said right there. Democrats will file a discharge petition to fund TSA, FEMA, Coast Guard, and other non-immigration agencies. Outside of immigration, I mean, and the Coast Guard, I think that DHS is Homeland Security, right? Homeland Security. What would that mean securing the homeland? How is the border not the number one, you know, the number one bullet point on that list? And they're like, yeah, we're not going to fund DHS for only for non-immigrant related policies. This is a continuation of the Biden administration. Go ahead. I'm sorry.

No, you're absolutely correct. I mean, a nation without borders is no nation at all. Exactly. So, you know, immigration is a huge part of that. I doubt that they'll be successful. I think that it makes no sense to do it piecemeal like that. But from what I understand, President Trump has offered some concessions to Democrats to get this done. talk about that uh we i think we talked about that on friday we read that but yeah some of the concessions and most of the concessions that trump uh outlined in that truth post were already policy right it's fugazi it's like it's like okay sure we'll make them require their name tapes you know and clear badge and identifying and all that and it's like they already do that you know

they're not allowed to go into uh you know protected areas like schools and things like that They already do that unless it's an emergency, but we're not going to put masks on them, which is what they really want. They want to demask these ice agents so that their faces, their mug shots get not mug shots like in that context, but their mugs could be put out there on their antifa spheres and their, you know, no kings protest fears. And so these people can have their families, you know, intimidated and threatened and try and ultimately win the battle through threats and coercion rather than, you know, it is what it is. And continuing that propaganda, you got Dick Blumenthal here, Senator Blumenthal.

Ice agents at airports will only aggravate delays and lines as people are waiting three hours right now because of your shutdown, Dick. Disrupting checks, interrogating travelers, dragging parents from children, detaining citizens, brutalizing families, shooting and even killing. Wow. Wow. He went full retard. He did go full retard. Do I have the full retard clip on here? I think I do.

I should have that. Oh, how do I not have the never go full retard? I got it. I'm going to have to clip that out. All right. Anyways. Yeah, he went full retard there, 100%. It's been, I think Alex Preti was shot and killed in January, the end of January.

Yeah. So it's been what, February, March, we're almost through March. I think it's almost to the day. I think, yeah, it's almost two months to the day. without ice killing a single person, whether justified or not, and, you know, the arguments can be made, and I would stand on the arguments being justified for both Freddie and good. Me too. And, and here you are, Dick Blumenthal now saying that their ICE is going to start killing people in airports. Well, if anybody brings a gun to an airport, they already run the risk of getting killed by any armed officer that may be there.

And it's happened before. So this is not going to do anything except alleviate the strain that has been created as a result of this fight. Dick Blumenthal knows that. He also knows that undoubtedly there are illegals that are currently flying and trying to escape the watchful eye of immigration enforcement. So this, I think, is a win. And go ahead and spin whatever narrative you want, Dick. Tell us again what it was like fighting in the jungles of Vietnam. And we'll continue to hear about it.

So when you when you said earlier that this is the plan, the plans in place, do you think part of that involved ICE being involved in monitoring airports for illegals coming and going? I mean, I don't know if the administration had planned on this. I certainly I think that the Democrats had sought to create havoc and put pain on the un-American people because they don't have to go through TSA. I mean, they've got private jets. I mean, they just hop on a plane and they go wherever they. they need to go. Their plan was to punish the American people, not only because they thought it would be politically expedient for them, but they also hate the people who support President Trump and support this agenda. I think that it could very possibly have been a plan to make sure

that ICE eventually got into the airports because, you know, I mean, you take a look at what was happening in Minnesota. I mean, the amount of cash that is going through Minnesota and going back to Somalia and nations in Africa is more than all of the cash that goes through every other airport in the United States. So certainly getting them into the Minneapolis airport, I think that that was likely part of the plan. All right. And we got some more news on immigration and the fraud here in just a moment. But we are going to hit a sponsor real quick here. But before we do that, let me get this. There we go. All right, guys.

Shout out to Rumble for making this disruptive technology. and you know that that is a huge deal uh because we don't get the advertising dollars like the mainstream media we ain't got no big pharma in our back pocket we ain't got no big uh what else do they rely on what do they rely on now for advertising they're getting their asses kicked uh i mean i don't know i i don't watch any ads um i you know as far as i knew big pharma

was like the largest advertiser on television um you know probably maybe political advertisements or yeah yeah yeah maybe that's why campaign or junk food junk food yeah campaigns start up like two years in advance now yeah man that's nuts man like you watch you watch the news now and i i don't watch a lot of mainstream news but every once in a while i do and when you get a commercial it seems like every freaking ad and you know i mentioned paradise earlier and i'm watching paradise and the version that we have has ads so we have to watch like a minute and a half of ads and I keep seeing this new ad and this is kind of news because well it's not really news but it's it's for g lp1 pills and they've now you know taken the shots so you no longer have to

take these shots and they're they're giving it to you in pill form to make it easier there's no longer the deterrent of if you're afraid of needles or whatever you just take the pill and you're going to lose all this weight and all this other stuff they forget to tell you that you know of course there's one of the side effects is the deterioration of bone density muscle density and all these things. Well, you can offset that by working out and keeping a strict healthy diet and all this other stuff. Do you know why these people are taking GOP ones? Because they're fucking lazy and they got overweight. You think now all of a sudden they're like getting skinny and they're going to go to the gym? No, the whole reason they're overweight is because they don't go to the gym.

Well, I mean, there's other circumstances, of course. But broadly, this is the easy pill. And so they start taking that. Their muscles start deteriorating. They don't go to the gym. They're not eating healthy because they have the miracle drug that's going to make them lose weight. Meanwhile, it's killing your bones, killing your muscles. Man, what a time to be alive. It is insane. Oh, just absolutely crazy right there. Okay, let's go ahead and get into our next story.

Let me see. All right, there we go. Got that. And then real quick, Mark, Mark Quain Mullins. Mark Wayne. Chris came up with that designation. the day we were talking about that it's like his parents when they were naming him like the dad the mom wanted mark the dad wanted wayne and the doctor's like i got an idea just hear me out

and of course mark comes first because because the mom definitely wayne mark doesn't sound as good as mark no so uh mark mullins confirmation survives key test vote as department of homeland security remained shut down uh mark wayne mullin survived the key test vote on sunday on his way to becoming the chief still has one more vote to go and likely will not be confirmed until monday evening sunday's vote passed 54 to 37 which was largely along party lines save for senators martin heinrich from new mexico and john fetterman from pennsylvania that's only 91 that means that that means that uh 91 that means at least nine senators refrain from voting abstained from voting very interesting i i did hear something um who was i think i was listening to john when he was doing the uh

interview with uh congressman errington i believe and they were talking about how tom tillis missed the vote on the save america act and and errington said no no it's not he didn't miss it out of like spite or anything like that they legitimately had like he was because he was on the same flight as him. He said their flight was delayed like three hours because of this TSA thing. So I'm wondering perhaps if it was a flight, you know, hold up or travel issues or something like that, especially considering that, you know,

these senators tend to go home on weekends now and because they get little stipends to go back home and travel and all that stuff. All right. We'll land that there. Moving on to the fraud I alluded to earlier. You got five more DOJ press release, five more plead guilty in Minnesota's feeding our futures fraud scheme. It says that the five pled guilty to wire fraud for their respective roles and the sprawling feeding our futures fraud scheme.

Prosecutors have now obtained 63 convictions scheme-wide, representing the largest number of convictions and a single fraud investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in recent memory. All five defendants were charged in the United States v. Mohamed at all. This group purported to run food program sites in Minneapolis and its suburbs as well as food distribution entity, as well as food distribution entities, I would imagine. The group worked together to steal and then launder $14.6 million in federal child nutrition program money that was meant to feed hungry children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, we don't need to get into the details of the feeding our futures because we've talked about that quite a bit here. But there's a lot of things, Zach, that I'm pretty pissed about with this. And we're getting all these, you know, the pawns is like what I like to call them, the foot soldiers.

None of this Minnesota feeding our futures fraud or any of the other fraud that's been exposed over the last, you know, several years, but it's only come front and center since the Nick Shirley Somali daycare video, really. There's nobody outside of the foot soldiers that's being held account. for this right well I'm assuming that you're talking about people inside Minnesota state government that simply just allowed this stuff to happen yeah I think that that's obviously something that needs to be a part of this but I we also do have investigations currently on going into Tim Walls and Keith Ellison so I I think that we'll get there it's just a little bit more difficult because you're going to have to show you're going to have to show more than simply incompetence or you know or a desire

to not appear racist right because that's that's not technically a crime although in my book if your stupidity results in criminal actions allowed to take place it's not a defense that should be something that you should you should be able to be indicted for but those people falsified records that's a time. That's only recently come out. You did have one person who was responsible for approving a grant, who then left Minnesota state government and then went to work for the very organization that she approved the grant for. If that's not criminal intent, then I don't know what is. I mean, she got paid a lot more money by going and working for them. You do have, at least in Maine, you have a Somali politician who is directly connected to one of these fraudulent organizations

whose CEO is currently on the run. He's in Africa somewhere, indicted and will not come back. She has stepped down from her position. She declined to seek re-election in the midst of a re-election campaign. So I would imagine that she's probably going to be feeling the wrath here pretty soon as well. But Ilhan Omar is another one. She was directly. responsible for writing the language of the bill which led to this fraud being possible in the first place. But even before then, there was a massive problem in Minnesota state government with these people being able to siphon off millions upon millions of dollars. She just kind of solidified it and expanded it. So much like the beginning of the show, just because we haven't seen it yet,

doesn't mean it's not going to happen. I think that every single one of these people who have been indicted and taken a plea so far or have gone to trial. You know, I don't necessarily know that they were answering to anybody else above them. You know, these people owned their own 501c3s. They operated their own companies. You do have Amy Block, who was like the head of the Feeding Our Future scam. You know, in her instance, the reason she and her organization were able to secure that money is because they sued the state government of Minnesota basically called them racist.

You know, in that instance, the people who are higher than her, certainly they were negligent, but I don't know how far that investigation is gone to get those people in state government. I think it needs to, but we just haven't seen that. I think my issue here, Zach, is more with, and again, I think you're right. I think that this is something that, you know, the accountability is absolutely falls upon the pawns in this the foot soldiers that were you know that were actually doing the crimes and committing the fraud however you know one of the things we've learned over the past few weeks maybe months is uh the whistleblowers that have been coming forward and and saying that we brought this to

the department of education in minnesota we brought this to the department of health in minnesota we brought this to governor tim walls and we were retaliated against that's a legal yeah exactly I'm old enough to remember Trump's first impeachment when they rolled out the whistleblower that nobody could tell who it was. These people have their names out there. These people are putting their names to their claims, whereas we went after President Trump and impeached him with this mysterious whistleblower. We can't disclose him. And Vindamondman was protecting him. And Adam Schiff was protecting him.

And all these other senators and congressmen are protecting the whistleblowers. And they use that to impeach a president. But we can't use the test. of these state employees and these whistleblowers that came out actively at the time and said that we are being retaliated against for saying that you should not be approving these loans. This company is fraudulent. This is putting up red flags everywhere. This is, I mean, granted, this could be going on. But when you have something like retaliation against a whistleblower, that is a crime that would allow you, you know, some sort of subpoena. You allow, you know, warrants to. to obtain, you know, data and other things that could from there build upon the case moving forward. Now, again, I'm not an attorney nor my law enforcement, so could be completely wrong about the process that it's going through or it could actually already be going on and we just don't know about it. But, you know, and maybe that's why Congress brought Ellison and Tim Walls in,

get them on the record and see if you can add perjury to the, you know, to the indictments that could be forthcoming or coming down the pipe. Certainly, certainly. So Green Ozone says, I have such faith in Minnesota and their judges. Well, it's a good thing that the judges are not the ones deciding the guilt or innocence of these people. And it's why we've been so successful up until this point. It's the U.S. attorneys who are doing the investigations, bringing the evidence to bear against these people. And they have made deals.

they've admitted to their guilt because the alternative is a lengthy and expensive trial process where they're not going to have the money to pay for their legal defense because they've only got money that they've stolen. And the people of Minnesota are the ones who are sitting on these jury pools and they're the ones who have been ripped off. So the ones that have gone to trial, those ones have been found guilty by a unanimous jury verdict. Now, there is one case, a man and his wife, one of these Somali scams.

in Hennepin County where the judge, there was actually like three different judges who basically gave these people a pass. And in that instance, they were not allowed to, first of all, they fought, and then they were able to get away with the crimes they committed. And I would have to imagine that those judges that basically dismissed their charges, those judges may likely be completely compromised. But it was not dismissed with prejudice. So it does. mean that it can't be brought again in perhaps a slightly different venue. Yes. All right. Let's go ahead and jump into. We got another story here from the Senate, well, it's not a story report from the Center for Immigration Studies,

non-citizen use of welfare by region and country of birth. The report uses the current population survey annual social and economic supplement to examine welfare use for households headed by non-citizens in the U.S. by country and region of birth. Non-citizens in the CPS in that database are primarily lawful permanent residents and illegal immigrants among the findings. This is kind of, I don't want to say shocking, but it's probably shocking to, you know, the normy mind out there. We've been talking about a lot of this widespread, you know, immigration welfare recipient for quite some time. But here it is. of households headed by non-citizens, 47%, almost half, use one or more traditional welfare programs.

This rises to 54% when eligibility for payments from the earned income tax credit or the additional child tax credit are added. The figure for U.S.-born households is 28% and 31% respectively. So granted the, you know, per capita or excuse me, overall total, there's far more U.S. citizens on welfare than not permanent residents and illegal aliens, right? Lawful permanent residents that are still not citizens. Yeah. They're going to be far more citizens. But still, the percentage is, is kind of shocking. Major anti-poverty programs include welfare, include traditional welfare.

such as SSI, SNAP, WIC, TANF, free and subsidized school meals, Medicaid, and public slash subsidized housing. Restrictions on non-citizen access to welfare have only, have been only a modest impact on overall use rates, primarily because non-citizens can receive benefits on behalf of U.S.-born children. Hashtag SCOTUS anchor babies. That birthright citizenship, that decision, that case is already been heard right we're just waiting on the decision no i well gosh you know i don't i can't remember if they yeah they did make the arguments yes yes so we're just waiting on the decision from scotas i believe uh maybe fact check me on that i know it has it has it i know it's on the docket at the very least i can't remember if we've heard the arguments not or yet i i i seem to like if

if we had heard the arguments i think i would have had some bullet points stored in my my head okay um Yeah, they are currently reviewing the challenge to President Trump's executive order right now. Oh, no, no, wait a second. No, April 1st is when they're going to actually hear the arguments. They've been evaluating it up until this point. They were deciding whether or not they were even going to take it on. Okay, that makes sense. Because I was going to say, normally I've got a couple bullet points stored in my brain for stuff like that.

And I got nothing on that other than it's on the docket. So anyways, the bar does not apply to all. non-citizens or all programs nor does it apply to non-citizen children in some cases most legal immigrants have lived here long enough to qualify for welfare uh excuse me and lastly some states provide welfare to otherwise ineligible immigrants on their own which is part of the reason why they're fighting so hard to keep um uh usda from investigating snap recipients and doing an audit on their roles and you know finding out how many people actually are receiving these benefits that are not eligible to receive them um top spending top sending countries with non-citizen households that

are most likely to use traditional welfare afghanistan 87 percent i i'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that's from uh joe biden's withdrawal you know bringing uh hundreds of thousands of them over here. Dominican Republic 78%, Guatemala, 77%, Honduras, 75%, and Mexico, 67%. And at least the last three there, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico, I would go on a limb and say, probably from Joe Biden's open border,

because they have a land bridge right into the United States. Lowest for non-citizens in terms of welfare use, Korea, 30%, the United Kingdom, 25%, Canada, 21%, and India, 16%, which is kind of interesting to me, Zach, because one of the things, you know, the narratives we saw roll out, you know, during and right after President Trump's election, was the H-1B visas and these people that are coming over here from countries like India, countries like Korea. You know, I don't know so much about Canada, but maybe the UK.

And in reality, when you look at the numbers overall, the biggest drain on the welfare system and the taxpayer of the United States would be from the countries, you know, of course, that have had been able to take advantage of the wide open border over the last five years, not the India. So it's almost like they're trying to deflect the attention. Now, granted, you can have your gripes about H-1Bs. I do. You know, I think that we need to cancel all that shit. We got plenty of Americans here that can fill those roles. But in terms of the burden on the taxpayer, it's not those countries that are taking advantage. No, the burden is in the other direction because they come here and get all the good jobs that's true yeah that is absolutely true

but uh you know again the the jobs to me that's second to um the welfare abuse because that every single taxpayer it well it does but think about how many americans might not need to be on welfare if they would be able to work in the in the industry in which they're trained you know i mean And every single foreign-born citizen that comes here and takes an opportunity from an American citizen pushes those people closer to poverty. I saw a fact over the weekend. I'm sure that many people here, well, I don't know. I'm not going to say that. But I mean, plenty of people.

They're growing up and their parents are like, we want you to become a doctor. We want you to become a lawyer, okay? because those are good jobs. They're high-paying jobs. You're always going to have work as a doctor or a lawyer. Well, when you go to medical school, you've got to come out and then you've got to get a residency at an American hospital. I never considered the fact that every single medical school graduate wouldn't have a spot for residency with a number of hospitals that we have here in the United States. But apparently there's lots of them because we are importing all of these medical

students from like Pakistan and other nations. Why are we importing foreign doctors when we can't even place American born medical students in American medical institutions? Like what is that about? Well, you know, I mean, obviously it's the same argument that we've had on so many of these other things. There's there is perhaps a need for immigration in terms of employment, but it's only necessary after American citizens have already exhausted every opportunity presented to them. If there is a need for it, then those people should only be brought here and given those opportunities after we've already taken care of every single person who is a natural born American citizen. Yeah, just real quick to clarify when you started that, you had said,

if these H-1B weren't coming over here, perhaps we wouldn't have the American citizens on the welfare. My concern was an American citizens on welfare. We haven't even gotten to that bridge yet, and I think we do eventually need to get to that place. But right now in terms of illegal immigrants and lawful American permanent residents, green card holders essentially, that should not be entitled to welfare and subsidies that are receiving them, that is a higher concern for me than the H-1B visas at this time. Now, granted, that doesn't mean it's any, it's not a big concern, but it's like I would, I'm more concerned about the thing that affects every single American that's paying taxes as opposed to, you know, the people that are coming over here. And again, you brought up the right argument in that sphere, American citizens that qualify for those jobs versus foreign born H-B visas that are qualified for those jobs and why we're taking the H-1Bs over the American-born. And I think that, you know, mainly has to do with corporations realizing they can pay. them far less, treat them far worse, and not have to deal with the American citizen. So I just wanted to make that clarification. Oh, of course.

Under no circumstances, should a person come to the United States of America for any reason and qualify for a free ride? There should not be a scenario where we create a permanent welfare class, whether that is somebody coming from another country or even American citizens. entitlement programs are in place for a reason, ostensibly, to help people in times of need. But it should not become a way of life. And there never, ever, ever should have been a situation where we allowed all of these people to come here and just get set up permanently.

And perhaps we would be in a better situation economically for all Americans if there wasn't this mass expenditure of American taxpayer dollars and funding. that are going to people who are not citizens of the United States. Like, yeah, I agree with you that, you know, that is, you know, just as big. But I think we have, like, overall a problem with immigration and the way in which it's implemented. And it leads to a series of sort of branches on that problem tree. All right. So, yeah, I just want to, we'll, you know, move on from that story.

Get into this one here. We alluded to this at the beginning of the show. New York Post two pilots dead, 41 people hospitalized after Air Canada plane hits a fire truck when landing at LaGuardia, causing airport closures. And here's some images. Breonna Morello put this out on X. We'll just play this from... Oh, they're Canadian. Yeah. An Air Canada Express regional jet hit a fire truck on the runway at New York's LaGuardia Airport on Sunday, killing the pilot and co-pilot. That's according to authorities and reports by NBC News. use. Now, let's just go back and look. Now, according to the radar, this plane was traveling at 24 miles per hour.

This wasn't 150, 80, 24 miles an hour. That's just a school zone in most places. And look at the damage that that did. It's insane. I want to know why there was a fire truck on the runway to begin with. That's a great question. But it also, I mean, you got to start asking the question when you look at this. Now, granted, I mean, we've been asking this question for a long time, but you got to pose in the normy mind, how is there this much damage to the plane from a 24 mile an hour crash with a movable object, a fire truck, and we're to believe that the 767s, which are actually 737s, you know, according to the research done in. Codex. How are they able to penetrate all the way to the middle of the building and take down the towers when, you know, it's, it's absolutely insane to me.

So this is LaGuardia is, that's Los Angeles or is that New York? That's New York. Okay. All right. So the, well, obviously the Canadian, well, I guess we don't know that the Canadians spoke English, but do we know who was driving the fire truck? No, we don't. We don't. There is, um, there is, uh, like, let me see if I could find the comms real quick that. Yeah, I was going to ask that would be. I had it pulled up. Let me see if I could get the, the air traffic control. You could hear him, you know, saying, uh, hey, truck, what are you doing? What are you doing? Don't go across there. Don't go across there. And, uh, no, that's not it. Uh, tell you what. Let me, let me see if we can find that.

real quick and we'll play a we'll play a soft disclosure ad right here get you some of that beard oil now that I'm alone at the close up do you see how awesome my beard looks right now I use the beard oil every single day first thing comes out feeling all silky smooth I take the dropper and I manually apply the oil directly to my mustache nice and oh man I love it and then I do drops all throughout the hair and then I just rub it all in and then I top it off with the tallow stick on the face. I feel like I have to grow a beer just to try this beer oil. It's amazing. It's all from soft disclosure.com and the best part about it is you'll be supporting Badlands

Media, Annie from Willowen Farms and basically three of Annie's neighbors. So that's five total American companies that you'd be supporting with one purchase. I have been using the Soft Disclosure, scentless beard oil. every day after the shower. It looks unkempt, but it feels silky smooth. I want to look a little wild and unapproachable, but for the woman I trust,

she'll be like, oh, it's actually kind of soft. He is approachable after all. Otherwise, stay away. And soft disclosure will help you too with that, if that's the very specific vibe you're going for. That is very specific, yes. You guys are supporting American businesses when you do that. It's absolutely incredible and you get a great, great product.

All right, soft disclosure.com promo code, Badlands. Got to love that beard oil. All right. I did find the audio. Here it is. The Vorti Tower requesting to cross for a Delta. Truck one in company cross for Delta. Truck one and company crossing for at Delta.

Frontier 4195 to stop there please. Go on stop stop stop stop truck one stop Stop truck one stop 2.203 go around runway heading 2000 Just 646 a C collide with vehicle a hold position I know he can't move vehicle service fine to you now Is the runway close? So 2603 go around runway heading 2000

All right in 2000 go around 02603 Your tower Truck 3 2 runway 4 is closed correct all right so you heard it there truck they gave him clearance to cross and then i guess they called on it sounded at first like he was calling on the flight that was on the ground to stop and then changed that to the truck to stop which the truck should always stop the plane should always have the right away uh you know on on an airport yeah but yeah that you dude like that's got to be horrifying being on delta 2603 having to yeah yeah yeah

Yeah, so apparently the pilots didn't die right away. They were horribly injured and then passed away at the hospital later. So I would say that that's the fault of air traffic control because, I mean, it did sound like he basically told the fire truck to go and then told them to stop once they were on the runway, which obviously doesn't make any sense. I mean, it's the air traffic control's job to know exactly where those airplanes are. And if anything has to go across that runway, whether or not that's going to be safe. It sounds like there was like a split second in between the time that he said go and then obviously realized that we were about to have a mass casualty event. Yeah, it's got to be pretty scary. So I'm sure we'll get more details on who was driving the truck and everything else.

But in the meantime, let's go ahead and jump into this story here from the Hill. Senate GOP plows forward on Save America Act amidstress. from the right. The Senate did debate it. This was written before because this is the weekend show. It covers the weekend. The Senate debated and voted, did not vote, but the Senate is planning to debate and vote on the Save America Act throughout the weekend. As Senate conservatives warned that a failure to make significant progress on President Trump's number one legislative priority could result in Republican voters sitting out the election in November, narrative seating 101. The Senate vote on Saturday, voted on Saturday on an amendment sponsored by Tommy Tupperville to bar transgender athletes from participating in women's sports. That amendment was shot down. Senator Mike Lee said, quote, if we don't get it done or at least do everything we possibly can to try and get it passed,

I think there's a very significant risk that our own base doesn't show up for us in November. not a fan of of saying that publicly you know that if we this bill is going to be extremely difficult to pass we've known this all along it more likely than not that it won't pass because we have feckless leaders like john thune however you know giving the election fraud narrative the the shielding that well they didn't show up because we didn't pass the save america act the republican base didn't show up because we didn't get that done for them is giving ammunition to the narrative when they if if and when they do steal the midterms in 2026 if we don't get something you know qualitative done by then um and curious to get your take before we jump on to the next

well i mean i don't think he's wrong i think there's a lot of people who think elections are totally faking gay and if they don't fix elections then what's the what's the point right you know i mean there's a lot of people who feel that way and um you know there are ways that they could get it past. I mean, John Thune could cancel the Easter recess and then show up to vote. And if they've got a simple majority of 51, then they could go ahead and get it passed. And we'd go ahead and have it on the books. And that would be a tremendous assist in making people believe that our elections are not faking gay. That would be an excellent thing to do. Yeah. It's cancel Easter recess, make everybody come back. Hold the vote on Easter Sunday, right? What a day, what a day to hold that vote on

on the resurrection day, right? That would be a fantastic little bit of symbolism right there. Reviving the country on Easter Sunday of all days. Let's do it. And, you know, and John Kennedy has suggested doing it through reconciliation. I think there's an argument to be made that this would affect the budget overall because, of course, you wouldn't have to buy electronic voting machines. You could ensure that, you know, elections are on one day require, or you would also make sure that

There would likely be a slowdown in contested elections because you would have very simple and easy to check information. You just got paper ballots. You go ahead and check the paper ballots. And you don't have mass mail-in ballots. So you don't have to worry about the expenditure on that. So, you know, it's possible. But who knows at this point? I don't think that John Thune has the, I don't think he has the desire to get it through.

There's certainly creative ways that they could do it. I agree 100% about John Thune not wanting to get it through. And there's a reason for that. Again, beneficiaries of that system. Let me go ahead and pull this up real quick. And I don't know where this stands. But Murkowski from Alaska tried to introduce an amendment that would withhold responsibility like if you were born before December 31st, 1960, you would not be accountable to this bill.

It would not. No. Why to you? No. No. I mean, part of the problem is that we got voters from the 1800s in Michigan. All right. So no.

Absolutely not. Well, not only that, that is the demographic specifically, the ones that are living and potentially fake or dead. Yeah. That is the, the, the, the, the, almost the entirety of what they've been using for the act blue and wind red smurfing yeah is all people over that age 65 and older and you know by murkowski saying that they they they should not be accountable to this bill they should be exempt from having to comply with this bill is basically saying

hey our cash cow that we've been laundering u.s taxpayer money through without them knowing we want to make sure that they don't have to go in and get any new identification so perhaps they'd be removed from the voter rolls because there is a good potential it's very difficult to find out that some of these senior citizens that have had the money laundering through the act blue smurfing and and and win red smurfing um could very well be people that don't exist at all oh i yeah i think there's a lot of them you know but um yeah it uh it's it's it's pretty ridiculous i mean i lisa merkowsky knows that there's a bunch of people in that particular demographic that age group which are fake voters and they're on the voter rolls and she doesn't want that to stop all right we got one more story on

voting because assu of the nah all shows are why we vote now uh los angeles times riverside county sheriff chad bianco uh seizes more than half a million ballots riverside county sheriff has seized more than 650 000 ballots from last november's election and is investigating whether they were fraudulently counted quote this excuse me this investigation is simple. Physical ballots, physically count the ballots and compare that result with the vote totals recorded. Bianco said in a news conference, the unusual probe drew a sharp rebuke from California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who said in a statement Friday that this is, quote, unprecedented in both scope and scale and appears, quote, not to be based on facts or evidence.

Banta saying, quote, there's no indication anywhere in the United States of why. spread voter fraud counts recounts hand counts audits and court cases all support this Bianco's department on February 26 seized about one thousand boxes of ballot materials from Riverside County related to the November election for Prop 50 which is the one that redrew California's congressional districts and brought 50 more five more seats 50 more seats five more seats for House Democrats. Investigators are looking into allegations by a local citizen group that, quote, did their own audit, end quote, and found that the county's tally was falsely inflated by more than 45,000 votes. Prop 50 passed in Riverside with a 56% of the vote, a margin of more than 82,000

ballots. Now, okay, they're claiming 45,000 were fraudulent. Well, they won by 82,000. Yeah, but they shaved boats off of all of these counties throughout that's that's how one of the ways in which they do it yeah and so um again the meltdown from from from these officials especially the attorney general without like nobody can look at this and and like how is that not something just glaringly obvious to people the obfuscation that you get from elected officials that don't want the matter in which they were elected investigated in any way shape or form even when it's an elected official who's on a future ballot he's on the ballot for governor chad bianco they don't want anybody looking at any of these uh these ballots it's just got to be

obvious at this point i think it is i think it's obvious to the vast majority of americans the only reason to not look is because if you look you may find something and every time a politician tells me something is absolute certainty i believe the exact opposite Amen. Amen. Here's Eric Swalwell saying the only way Maga knows how to win is by cheating. Swalwell, of course, is running against Bianco in the primaries. Bianco's, and I hope I'm saying his name right, Bianco says, quote, I think Eric Swalwell read the story wrong. We were the ones investigating the 45,000 vote discrepancy. Your attorney general is the one trying to block it. I love that. Throw that back in their face. The only way they know how to win is cheating as they're investigating whether or not there was cheating. Make that makes sense.

Yeah. Projection. Yeah. I do think the numbers in California, just to highlight this, so California does a jungle primary, meaning everybody gets to go into the initial part of the primary. And then only the top two contenders move on to the general election. And it doesn't matter what party they're in. And right now, you've got Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco winning at 17 and 16% respectively.

Katie Porter, who's a disgrace of a candidate, is tied with Swalwell, another disgrace of a candidate. And then moving down the line, I mean, the only neck, Tom Steyer's kind of a stayer's a recognizable name. Javier Bichara, a former, was he NIH director? Yeah, I believe. No, I think, what was he? HHS? Yeah, HHS, yeah. Bichera is going to have some problems here, man.

He's going to have some fraud claims resulting from the former chief of staff, Gavin News. some former chief of staff that was laundering COVID funds in California. Bashara gets named in that in those indictments. Yeah. Yeah, he was the 25th secretary of HHS. HHS. HHS. Okay.

All right. So let's get into a little bit of geopolitics. I don't want to go too crazy because we do have a ghost on tomorrow to to, to unwrap all this. But President Trump, truthing out over the weekend. If Iran doesn't fully open without threat, the straight of Hormuz, within 48. hours from this exact point in time the united states of america will hit and obliterate their various power plants starting with the biggest one first and iran in response to this says the iraerate

well this is al jazeera posting their response the iran military has outlined a potential response to president trump's threats to attack the country's power plants uh saying that uh the strait of hor moves will be completely closed and will not reopen until our damage power plants are rebuilt all power plants in the energy and information technology infrastructure of israel will be widely targeted all similar companies in the region that have american shareholders will be completely destroyed and power plants in the regional countries hosting u.s bases will be considered legitimate targets now that uh hold on one second here so that the other threat that they've made is to destroy the underground cables that basically a

for like a huge percentage of American oh excuse me global connectivity for the internet they attack those I think they were saying like 30% of countries would be shut off from the internet wow global internet global yeah but still I mean that is huge like the amount of of insanity that that would cause in global markets would just it would be absolutely crippling so it's gonna be curious to see how all that plays out well I from what I understand understand there was an Iranian power plant that was hit over the weekend and President Trump just earlier this morning said that he is holding off on any additional strikes for five days because they're actively in negotiations with Iran on this issue. So I've got the post.

I had not heard about the strike. If you could maybe find that while I. Yeah, yeah, right. I've seen a number of different people sharing this, but there, I just. shared it with you and then I'm also sharing President Trump speaking this morning about halting any additional strikes. Okay, let me read President Trump's message first. This is I'm pleased to report that the United States of America and the country of Iran have had over the last two days very good and productive conversations regarding a complete

and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East based on the tenor and tone of these in-depth, detailed and constructive conversations, which will continue throughout the week. I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meetings and discussions. Thank you for your attention to this matter, DJT. And let's see, I see you sent me that what do we got here? Is it shared on the screen? Oh, yeah, I would, I, is that you sharing that for my screen or you're, no, that's your screen. U.S. Air Force targeted Iranian electric grid and power plants after Trump's deadline passed.

Tehran has gone complete into complete darkness. Those are definitely transformers going. Yeah, I was about to say the blue light. The blue light is definitely transformers going. off yeah now i also heard that iran hit the demona nuclear power plant um but i don't think that it was like enough to take it direct yeah it was it was like a portion of the facility basically like some outer building but not like the actual reactor or anything yeah so there there's a lot more you know going on with this story and again we'll get more into the the specific like nitty gritty of this

conflict tomorrow with um with uh with with ghost but we do have you know this this new story this new narrative so iran allegedly hit diego garcia or or around again yeah in proximity of diego garcia which it's not lost on me that diego garcia has been in the news a lot over the last two months with britain coming out and saying we're going to hand it back over to what's the country's name it's i mean it's whatever country those that island is Yeah, yeah. It's a really weird country that I've never even heard of and had to look up to see if it was even a real country. But anyways, so Diego Garcia has been in the news.

It's a notorious CIA base. A lot of covert shit goes on there. MH370. MH, yeah, a lot of speculation on, did MH370 passengers go there or the plane itself? Yeah. Of course, you know, we've got B1Bs and B2s that are stationed there and base there. And Britain just willfully gives it away. And President Trump was absolutely pissed about that.

And now we get this attack. Check this clip out as the fearmongering ramps up. There's an attack on a British overseas territory. This is a direct attack upon the United Kingdom and upon British military personnel. And there should be a very strong, ferocious response, actually, to the terrorist regime in Tehran. and the UK should join the US in striking against the Iranian dictatorship. I think what could be done very swiftly is for the UK to use nuclear submarines against the Iranian regime. I'm not using nuclear weapons, but launching missile strikes against Iranian military insolations defense facilities, missile facilities inside Iran.

and the UK should directly join US and Israeli military action against the Iranian regime. This is a direct attack upon UK territory and upon British military personnel. There has to be a military response from the United Kingdom. Let's see an end to the wishy-washy appeasement that Kiyosarmer is advancing. This is a moment when Britain has to stand tall on the world stage, strike against those who are attacking the United Kingdom and its territory. and this is a moment for real leadership. Unfortunately, we happen to have the worst prime. Okay, so we can land that there, but you see, you know, the drumming up of the fearmonger,

of the narrative around it, here's another continuation of it. Although this guy's much more, this guy's much more kind of relaxed about it and subtle. He makes it sound like, well, you know, let's let's let run due process on the on the situation here. Okay, we learned this overnight that Iran now has missiles that are capable of reaching certainly London and indeed they have most of Europe. What do we make of this? Look, the IDF, the Israelis have said this because Iran struck Diego Garcia last night, which is about 3,800 kilometres from Iran, which is about more or less the distance from London. So technically can do this. I would pick up something most immediately. I think it was

a government minister who was on that clip before saying that, you know, if Iran targets Britain directly, Well, Iran's been targeting Britain directly for a long time. Don't forget the IRGC assassins have tried to kill people on British soil. So I was quite disappointed in his comments. Look, I think we shouldn't get too alarmed. There's a big difference from the potential to do it, from them actually doing it. We should also point out that there was no real damage to the base. We hope that if it comes to it, that there are missile defense systems in place.

That said, the government can't really take out the bins properly. So you know. All right. So he's he's being in bins is trash in great Britain. So that's funny. So again, the hunger is kind of drumming up, right? You got the first guy that's like war, bomb them.

Great Britain needs to get in the war. And the other guy's like, well, you know, if it's true, we need to get in the war. But hey, let's let's keep our cool for just a moment here. We did get Mark Routé, uh, who calls, you know, Trump, daddy Trump. Uh, this was his response. We did see that Iran fired two missiles at Diego Garcia. That's that island in the Indian Ocean, which houses a U.S., U.K., joint base. That was 4,000 kilometers from Iranian territory.

Furthest Iran has ever gone. You just heard Ambassador Waltz say there might be a difference there in how Israel and the U.S. assess that capability Iran has in terms of what they fired. But Israel says these were intercontinental ballistic missiles that could hit Berlin, Paris, and Rome. Does NATO share that Israeli assessment? We cannot confirm that at a moment, so we're looking into that. But if this... So NATO can't confirm it.

Israel's already full-blown. It was ICBMs. Nobody else has any confirmation of this, whether or not it's actually ICBMs from Iran. Iran has denied it. Iran said it wasn't us. You know, again, I hate to, you know, jump the gun on this, but the calls immediately. the propaganda immediately to try and continue this war like the IDF putting out this image right here this is pure this is pure fear mongering right here look if Diego Garcia is right here they can

hit you in in in Great Britain you guys need to join the war they've never had a golf of Tonkin or you know USS Liberty in order to try and you know kind of bait a foreign country into a war on on their behalf. I just take you with a grain of salt, let everything kind of run its course. President Trump just told us that he's in negotiations. He's in negotiations with the Iranians to try and come to a complete end to this. And all of a sudden we get the Diego Garcia. They've got 4,000 kilometer intercontinental ballistic missiles from the IDF. Take just goose frava for a minute. I think that if this was Iran, I mean, why wouldn't they just admit it i mean that would be a deterrent to people continuing to attack them i also

think that european leaders are a bunch of pussies and they don't get involved in any military conflict until they smell the end in sight so i don't think that we're very far away from this being completely um you know smoothed over i think that we're probably pretty close to the end i uh i i tend to agree with you on that um again i don't know No, we haven't, I haven't had the opportunity to talk with you yet about the Joe Kent claim that Israel forced our hand into this. I think, you know, we've hashed that out many, many times on Badlands Daily. I've made my arguments on sit rep. I don't know if you had a take on that or not, but this is kind of similar.

I'll land this right here, but this is kind of similar. Trump's negotiating, potential for negotiations to come to fruition, you know, something good to come of it. And then all of a sudden we get, you know, some escalation in the war. So, yeah. So I think that the one thing that that the one thing that influences President Trump to take action of this type is ultimately the reduction of human lives being lost. And it all depends on what your perspective is on, you know, on, you know, influencing. I think that President Trump's actions ultimately, and he said this already, you know, like this was going to happen. And so our intervention was an effort to alleviate more deaths than necessary. Now, other people might look at it like Joe Kent apparently saying, you know, that, oh, no, Israel forced us.

I don't think anybody is forcing President Trump to do anything at all. I think that it's all a series of calculated decisions based upon potential outcomes. And President Trump, up until this point, has shown time and time again that he wants to make sure that as few people die as possible. And there's only so much influence that we can exert on a nation like Israel or any other nation out there in the world. And President Trump's actions thus far have been pushing the entirety of the world as close to peace as we can. possibly get. And in order to get there, there are definitely going to have to be concessions that are made by a variety of different countries. And if we can bring Iran into the Trump world order, then I think that is a good thing for everybody. So I don't think, and I'm going to be very brief,

because I'm sure our audience has heard this from me many times. But I don't think that, that, you know, Israel, like, came to the U.S. and is like, you must attack with us. I think when, when, when, When Trump says that there was an imminent threat, I think what that imminent threat was, was Israel attacking, you know, maybe prematurely, but going in without necessarily informing the United States. Sure. We're just nuking Iran altogether. Well, the United States had to react right away. Right. And the reason for that is because if Israel attacks Iran by themselves, they don't have, I don't believe they have the capability of taking out all of.

the retaliatory, you know, forces that Iran would be able to utilize against them and against us. And it would absolutely be against the United States. If Israel were to attack Iran, the United States would absolutely get the fall out from that just because of our relationship with them up until this point. So when they attack, the United States is like, oh, shit, they're going in. If we don't rush in with them right now and take out the targets that we've identified, they're going to retaliate. against us and we're going to then be really forced into the war at war. Right. To me was the imminent attack.

I think Israel absolutely saw the negotiations that were being made between Whitkoff, Kushner, Aragchi, you know, the Iranians, and I think they jumped the gun. That's just my take. We're seeing it, you know, Joe Kent comes out and says the same thing. The very next day, President Trump says, Israel attacked Port Sars all by themselves without our knowing. And now you've got this, you know, as President Trump is literally saying we're in negotiations with the Iranians, we get the Diego Garcia attack. And now all of a sudden, Great Britain is getting pushed into the war, not saying that they're in it yet, but they're getting pushed. All of it.

It's the same playbook every single time. Every time there's some sort of negotiation with Iran, something happens that is either directly attributable to or you can broadly speculate that it was the IDF and the Israelis that did. it and it's it continues on and on and on absolutely yeah i think joe kent coming out and saying that was president trump saying it publicly without being able to him say it publicly i think kent is absolutely an op in this just my take pure speculation right on all right uh one last story before we get out of here just because i love seeing this i i love the show but i the guy is just a liberal douchebag I think his name's Alan Richson. Yeah.

Did you see this video? I haven't seen this video, but I've seen Reacher. So according to Daily Beast, he, and it looks like based on the video, he and his kids were riding like bikes, motorcycles, like street bikes, up and down the neighborhood. And I guess one of the neighbors came out and said like, hey, knock it off. What the hell are you doing? And Jack Reacher was having none of it. Check this out. Holy jeez he's a big dude now what happened before the punches were thrown though bingo that's always the question yeah now that being said like you just said reacher is a fucking matt richson is a huge guy now I'm sure for a show jack reacher he's you know put on some pounds and he's bigger than he always is maybe but dude to take like three shots including one to the head that guy and he didn't go to

the hospital. Good on him, but you want to see some kind of justice. The guy has no idea how to handle a street bike. Watch, watch when he tries to pick up his bike. That's funny. Dude just got his ass whooped, but still, I don't know who's riding the dirt bike. So there it is. That is a mountain of a man to take three shots like that from. he's also a flaming leftist flaming leftist so um all right let's jump into some rumble rants here kitsko good to see you kits go andrew weissman is still around and he was running the investigation of special counsel that he is uh i'm sure he's going to have a world of hurt at some point if he hasn't been subpoenaed already exactly uh kits go regarding the meteorites i

think about Atlas 31 being pushed away from Earth and we are being hit with the shards. Zach, you know anything about that? I know three eye Atlas. Yeah, I mean, it was this long meteorite that they were trying to convince people was an alien spacecraft for a while. Yeah, I don't know too much about it just because, I mean, I came by Earth and then it went and zoomed around us and went the other way. But there's, there's meteorites hurtling through space all the time. It's not unusual for things to come through the atmosphere. Didn't we didn't we just, um, didn't we just come out like a three weeks ago and say that we

Armageddoned a meteorite? Yeah, we did. Yeah, yeah. So maybe that has something to do with it. I mean, maybe that wasn't such a great idea that now we're going to have these three and a three foot shard that weighs one ton. I mean, three feet like that, right? Yeah. You can't see the screen.

Three feet. I mean, that's crazy to think something that small would weigh a ton. They're very dense, very dense things. All right. CNS, well, thank you, Kitsko,

appreciate the rant. CNS 1000. How about if all of Homeland Security flew under a wing of the military? I think that's probably where most of it should go. Yeah. Yeah, we've talked about that a lot. ICE could be within the U.S.

military. Ice and custom CBP. CBP could go under military and Coast Guard, you know, kind of dual, split it up, customs and border protection. Customs going with the Coast Guard, border protection going with the U.S. Army. FEMA National Guard. DHS would go to, or HSI would go to DIA. Yeah, I mean, there's, it should be a military branch, not and accountable under military regulations rather than civilian infrastructure. naturally nicky have you ever watched doctor who or excuse me let me say have you ever

each doctor who and i'm only saying that because i happen to catch this in the chat where naturally nicky's like i finally found out how to rant and i have a typo we get what you're saying appreciate the rant uh this episode is what ozempic makes me think of the fats just walk away oh gosh let me play this real quick just because this looks like it could be pretty epic Oh, it's four minutes. Guys, killing me with the four minute clip. If you speaking, it's gone by 10 past 1 in the morning. What makes you say that?

All right, we can't do it. We can't do a 10 minute, a four minute clip. But thank you for the rant. I'll watch it between Y Crumbs. Maybe we'll play it on Y Cromes. Flying Storm at Steve Kraw. Alpha Warrior Sheriff lives there. Alpha Warrior Sheriff, he lives there.

Maybe Alpha can go talk to him to get more information for the show. and invite sheriff on the show. Yeah. Yeah, that's where Alpha was a, I think he started there in Riverside, Cathedral City. I think is where Alpha started. So yeah. Thank you, Flying Storm.

I'll reach out to him, talk to him about that. Actually, I'll talk to him in an hour. Simple Sam, 1779. Why are you so excited about no mail and ballots? You always talk about that in red states. People live really far away from society, so I don't think a farmer in Idaho prefers the male. That's retarded.

Don't you think? Okay, so here's the thing. There could be stipulations that, you know, if you live more than 20 miles or 10 miles from a polling place, then sure, you could be eligible, but there's a process you have to go through. I'm not saying we're against mail-in ballots. I am avidly 100% uncategorically against universal mail-in ballots. I am also categorically against universal mail-in ballots. I am, however, also against mail-in balloting in most of the instances where they make an argument for it right now. I would suggest to you that before the whole COVID pandemic, farmers in Idaho had absolutely no problem going in and voting at their local county polling precinct.

Because we're not talking about like a hundred miles or something like that. Okay, every single state is made up of counties, all right? And there are enough counties that give people access to go in and vote, all right? So no, I don't think that that's a valid argument at all. If for some reason somebody needs to vote by mail-in ballot, I think that it would have to be because maybe they have something unavoidable. They have to be out of the country. If they are military, then that would be UOCAVA that's completely separate from the mail-in ballots. and even UOCAVA has a whole bunch of problems.

We talked about that on a number of occasions. But no, I think that people had no problems going in and voting. And in years past, we were even more spread out than we are today. I mean, society is far denser now than it ever was in years past when people had no problem going in and casting a ballot. Yeah, I don't know. And I don't know any single farmers in Idaho who have ever reached out and suggested, you know, that they need to vote by mail. I mean, everything else that they would need to do away from their farm involves driving. They're going to go to a grocery store. If they're going to go get gas, if they're going to go

to the DMV, if they're going to go get their car worked on, they're driving the exact same distance as they would drive to go cast a ballot on election day. So no, I don't think that that's a valid argument. Agreed. And again, I'm open to the idea of debating the issue. But again, the main focus, the main source of fraud, or at least the vector that kind of initiates the whole thing is universal mail-in ballots, introducing millions upon millions of ballots into the system without anybody explicitly requesting them is one of the main drivers of fraud. Correct. As you chop away at that more and more, you start to realize that without that system, you know, there are circumstances for mail-in ballots that Zach alluded to.

I'll land that there. Flying Storm, why we vote is number one on all platforms. Why we vote is number two on everybody's schedule. Why we vote is number three on the ballot box. Okay. I appreciate the kind words. I don't know. That's kind of like an incomplete thought.

If you want to clarify a little bit more. But I appreciate it. It seems like why we vote. It's his favorite show. It's your favorite show. And that is a, I take that to heart because it's my favorite show. And it's a very important show.

And we just did an interview with Peter Tickton. It got a little spicy. And I'll leave that at that. I'll have to check it out. That is all I'll say about that. All right. So let's see. We could talk about Gart 11 coming up in what, like three weeks now?

Three weeks? Okay. Wood crazy. Idaho here. You aren't driving very far to vote. Exactly. Well, I mean, there are, there are, you know, parts that it's a big state. And I'm sure there's farms that are far away from removed from anybody.

Most of it that be in their own land. But you made the great point. Every other part of your life, you have to take it. You have to travel a little bit. So, you know, maybe, maybe for those people, make them eligible for early voting or a ballot that you cast. And it has to be sealed somehow until election day and opened in front of observers. I don't know. Matt, you, you start making, you start making exceptions.

and you get to mass mail and voting. Exactly. And that's exactly where we are. And that's exactly why we have problems with the fraud that we do. It's one of the big problems. All right. And in every state where they automatically print a mail in ballot and just send it to everyone, that is each and every one an opportunity for fraud.

Exactly. All right. We'll go ahead and land this here. Zach, as always, what do you have coming up? So I've got my show at 5 p.m. And then tonight at 10.30, we are. Oh my God, Cisco, I hope you didn't piss. We have the completion of our show about Andrew Breitbart's murder.
