Badlands Media - Badlands Daily: 3/31/26 - Trade War Signals, Middle East Escalation, and Color Revolution Narrative
Episode Date: March 31, 2026CannCon and Ghost focus heavily on geopolitics, breaking down President Trump’s push to rebalance global trade and what they describe as coordinated “color revolution” tactics being used to dest...abilize public perception and society. The discussion centers on how economic pressure and trade policy are being framed, alongside claims of organized efforts to manipulate narratives domestically and abroad. They dive deep into the Middle East, analyzing escalating tensions involving Israel and Iran, including theories around collapsing military pressure on Israel, the Strait of Hormuz, and shifting alliances impacting global energy and stability. The hosts explore competing interpretations of Trump’s messaging, questioning whether events are unfolding organically or as part of a controlled geopolitical strategy. Additional discussion includes a Department of War press conference, media framing of international conflict, and broader questions about whether current global events are being accelerated toward a forced resolution. Throughout the episode, CannCon and Ghost emphasize identifying coordinated messaging, understanding narrative manipulation, and tracking how economic and military signals intersect.

All right, good morning, Badlandia.
Welcome to Badlands Daily.
It really feels like the cat's a laser pointer.
It's like you've led the cat up to the top of the building
and now you're leading it over the edge.
President Trump is rebalancing trade around the world
and making things more fair for the American people.
I think that any time the deep state can like overcapitalize
and whatever situation they have they're going to.
But the rest of it is a very well-organized
and well-funded color revolution operation
of the type they run all over the world again and again and again to destabilize entire society.
All right, good morning, Badlandia.
Welcome to Badlands Day.
Today is Tuesday, got the one and only ghost of base Patrick Henry.
Liding in here. Gordon, how you doing, brother?
I'm good, Brian. How are you?
You know, I'm living my best life.
Another day above ground, so I cannot complain.
It would do no good if I did anyway.
so here we are sorry i was just quarantining my dog so they don't start barking like sitting next to me
i have to do the same thing if my cattle dog is not in the room with me he will bark at every single
object that moves in front of my house and so i i know the pain i know the pain yeah yeah yeah for sure
but uh man a lot of crazy stuff happened in the news wrong yeah there's a lot of a lot of stuff
going on out there we're going to unpack all of it today if obviously put a lot of emphasis
on the geopolitics today since we've got ghost here the uh the department of war did a press conference
this morning i got to catch most of that i got a a little clip here that we'll play from that uh
but before we do all that guys if you have not done so yet please smash that thumbs up button
helps us out tremendously and uh let's also go ahead and talk about our first sponsor the show
this episode is brought to you by native path antarctic krill oil omega 3
trees plus asaxism-thanthin.
I can never say that word.
Astazanthin for heart, joints, and memories.
73 miles off the coast of Antarctica waters.
In water so clean, virtually untouched by human pollution, lives a tiny organism that researchers
believe may be one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory nutrients ever discovered.
It's called krill.
And today's sponsors figured out how to get it to your door.
If you've been taking fish oil for heart, joint, or memory support, here's
something you need to know. Research shows that fish oil is 50% less absorbable than krill oil because
fish oils omega-3s are in triglyceride form, where krills are in phospholipid form, which is the same
format that your cell walls are made of. That means krill oil gets into your cells immediately.
In head-to-head studies, krill oil outperformed fish oil at improving cholesterol, reducing inflammation,
and easing joint pain, often at lower doses. Native Path Antarctic
krill oil is sourced from pristine antarctic waters contains the powerful antioxidant
and astazanthin and uh it comes in a tiny little soft gel capsule no fishy burps learn more and
grab your badlands special discount plus free shipping at get krill dot com slash badlands that's
get k r i l dot com slash badlands i got to try me some of that
that stuff right there because I take I used to take omega threes and the fish thing really bothered
me so I stopped so if we can get the omega three benefits without the fish oil I am all I was
all in uh I pre-recorded the choice yesterday with ash um and said the same thing like when I was a kid
my mom used to make us take the fish oil things and yeah the fishy burps are very real so that's a
that's a that's a great ad read to a to a to a to a
address that. Absolutely. All right. And then let's talk about some soft disclosure.
Every Easter, one brave bunny takes on a very important mission, spreading Easter joy,
and apparently dropping most of it. And sometimes there's goat-related complications.
Skin care is so good even the goats might want it because Easter is really about the greatest victory ever.
hope, renewal, and a promise kept.
And every soft disclosure purchase support six small American businesses working together.
Use code grace for 15% off.
Soft disclosure, good for your skin, and apparently approved by goals.
It's a great ad.
Softdisclosure.com promo code badlands.
Our marketing team just keeps killing it, man.
They do.
They absolutely do.
All right. So let's jump into the first story. So yesterday we reported Artemis 2, the pilots or the astronauts, I should say, have had arrived in Florida.
And today we get confirmation that they are a go with zero technical issues reported ahead of Wednesday's historic moon launch.
That would be tomorrow. Four astronauts will fly around the moon for the first time since 1972.
lift off is set for April Fool's Day.
And this is not an April Fool's joke.
Or isn't.
So we're going back to the moon first time in 54 years, Ghost.
54 years.
I mean, since then, like, just think of all the technological advances we've had as a society since 1972.
Just, like, seriously, put that in front of mind here.
172 we still had the phones that had those cranks right and you had to pay like a dollar 50 for long distance calls well it wasn't a dollar 50 but you know 10 cents a minute whatever for long distance calls and we still had one eight well we didn't even have one 800 collect back then but uh you know where you'd be like given the message real quick like please state your name mom it's me come pick me up you remember those you did that when i was a kid at the swimming pool it's like let call home hey mom i'm ready to get picked up can give me oh yeah for sure.
I still think we had to collect calls because Pink Floyd has a what's that dirty woman song?
Ooh, need a dirty woman at the end.
He's like calling collect from America.
And he's like, they're not here.
But just think of all the advances.
I like that.
Yeah, just think of all the advances though.
I mean, we now have cell phones that have more computing power than the entire first moon shuttle.
But here we go, finally, 54 years going back.
I love it.
Yeah, I don't have anything else on that. I don't know what time the launch is, but if it, if it is during Badlands Daily tomorrow, we will definitely pull that up the live stream for that.
Jayham Stoneface, gifted five subs. Appreciate that. Thank you so much. We don't see those at the end. So if I see them in, oh, and Smaid corrected me. That was Roger Waters, not Pink Floyd. So thank you for that, correcting me on that. Okay. Any other comment on the moon mission on April Fool's day?
Well, I think there's a common theory among like the truth community that we never went to the moon and that like the moon landing was was faked in a hoax, which I think there's a lot of evidence to support the idea that the footage that was shown to the world in 1969 was done in like a Hollywood studio. I think there's a lot of compelling evidence to support that. Now, does that mean we've never gone to the moon? I don't think so. And does that mean that we went to the moon once?
and we've never been able to go back because we don't have the right technology,
or did we go to the moon and we've been there ever since?
And they've told us that we haven't been able to go back
because they've classified all the technology
and they don't want us to know that we're up there doing things.
I mean, I basically entertain everything between that
and the idea that space is fake and the moon is fake.
I entertain all the different theories because I think all of them,
it would just be wise to entertain everything.
Now, do I give the same weight to every single theory,
know, but I just, I look at all the different possibilities.
And the fact that we're going back to the moon now, I mean, I just think back to all of the
things that General Quas has said, particularly last year at Deadwood, when he got up and
said, you know, the two things we should be looking for are, is news about space and energy
when it comes to like the sovereign alliance and international cooperation, that kind of stuff.
You know, and so I just wonder are Russia, China, and America are going to be teaming up for moon stuff?
It seems like that's where this is all headed.
And maybe even Iran will be in there, maybe even Saudi Arabia and Mexico and Colombia and Venezuela.
And it's like, we're going to put everyone in a fun little rocket.
We're all going to go to the moon together like a David Bowie music video.
It's going to be like Maduro, Kim Jong-un, like all.
Like all the friends are going to be there.
Ground control to major time.
And when we arrive, like that's where the witsec people are.
Everyone who's been killed off and been sent away to the island is waiting for us right there on the dark side of the moon.
So I'm, I jest there at the end.
But I'm serious that I think that this is probably where this is all headed.
I think the golden age and all of it is going to be a new epoch in human existence.
And that's going to require not the desolution or the evolution beyond nation states, but rather the idea that nation states are going to be far more cooperative and are going to kind of put aside kinetic warfare.
I think there will be other forms of conflict.
But kinetic warfare, I think, is going to be more and more phased out because it's just not a – it's a cost-prohibitive exercise.
And we're learning that right now with Iran.
I mean, that is something that is even the pro-Trump MAGA analysts or understand that this is a very cost prohibitive war because they have very cheap drones that they can send over.
And we have to send up very expensive missiles that take a long time to build to block to knock out each one.
And that's just not, it's cost prohibitive.
It's the same issue we ran into, by the way, in Ukraine against Russia.
Yeah, that's a great point.
And just real quick before I address that, because me and Alpha had a conversation similar to this, probably about.
five or six months ago. It was Pink Floyd. I don't know why I trusted Smae 60. Smey 60,
your fact checking has been revoked. Your authorities have been revoked. Kind of kidding.
You know, it is actually Pink Floyd. And I should have known this because the two songs we just
mentioned, Bowie and Pink Floyd's Young Lust, I played on my live stream, my premium
live stream gaming on Sunday and was rocking out to both of those songs because I love those two
songs and they're both relative to this story well the pink floyd not the dark side of the moon
is but yeah so it is pink floyd now to your point there about you know kinetic war being prohibitive
me and alpha talked about this with the a i race and everything else that we're seeing um
what what does that look like in the future of kinetic warfare and like you said you're
you're making these uh you know patriot and iron dome missiles to intercept uh you know
drones essentially that it like Rubio said when this whole war first kicked off we're making six or seven a month they're making thousands and you can't eat at that level and so I don't know if you saw did you see the story from Associated Press today about the Germans saying Ukraine builds their drones out of Legos no no they're saying that no they can't actually be saying that I I shit you not dude I've got this story pulled up but I'll just I'll just tease it's the best
timeline. We are living of all the possible timelines. This is by far the best one.
Ukrainians try German for jibes about Lego drones made by housewives. Yeah.
And the Ukrainians are accusing the Germans of doing this. No, no. The Germans are
accusing the Ukrainians of doing it. Holy shit. This is so funny. Because you know, like,
you know, the Ukrainians are now in the Middle East trying to sell that stuff to all the Arabs.
They're like, hey, they're like, hey, we have to fit because where this is going. I mean, if you just game this out,
from a game theory standpoint.
Where this is going is that the way you deal with these drones,
these drone attacks and frankly these missiles maybe is by building drones of your own.
And then a drone flies up and meets the drone and they both blow up in the sky.
Right.
And eventually you're just going to have drone sworens against drone swarms,
just running into each other in the sky and blowing up.
And basically what you're watching is just the world's most expensive fireworks display
with no like damage done at the end and nothing accomplished.
And that's what's going to make the whole thing cost prohibitive.
And for the practical standpoint, you're going to be like, all right, we're at a stalemate now.
So what do we do now?
Well, I guess now we need to figure something else out.
And that's where I think we evolve out of, again, it doesn't mean there's not going to be violence.
There's not going to be conflict in the world.
But I'm just saying from the nation state level, the highest levels, you're not going to get another World War II of like conventional trench warfare, you know, trench warfare from World War I or the kind of combat, you know, small squad combat that we saw in World War II.
I think we're going to it's going to be something different. There'll be other forms of conflict.
But yeah, I think that's where it's headed.
That was the point being Alpha made on that show when we were talking about AI on the battlefield is that when you take out the value of human life in warfare and you take out the cost of losing U.S. soldiers, Russian soldiers, Iranian soldiers, Jewish soldiers, you know, Israeli soldiers.
When you take that equation off the board, you take away the human connection that people have to war.
and then it just becomes a cash cow for the military industrial complex at that point.
And if you don't observe, you know, the value of the money that we're spending on these things, right?
This war has already cost us $20 billion.
They're saying, costs us $20 billion.
It costs the Israelis only six.
But, you know, when you have to start factoring in the financial cost, you know, I don't want to say more than the human cost because obviously human life is, you know, more valuable than any amount of money.
But human life is being taken off that chessboard, right?
it's being taken off of the, you know, off the battlefield.
And the more and more that's taken off, the more and more we become desensitized to war.
And we're like, okay, this is no big deal.
We're just going to watch, like you said, the fireworks show.
And that's going to perpetuate the military industrial complex for the foreseeable future,
unless we reel that in somehow.
And I think what Trump has done with the tariffs and financial and economic sanctions
and economic leverage has been kind of the pivot to the next phase of,
warfare you know whatever you want to call it six seventh gen warfare uh being more economic than
it is you know kinetic hands-on boots on the ground yeah well it's a great point and so let's just
game this out like let's just finish the game theory so how do you then disincentivize the military
industrial complex from doing what you're describing which is basically just
constant cash flow into their coffers from us the taxpayers uh and then they build drones
they blow the drones up and they're make they're they're personally getting super rich and then just goes on
on and on and on forever and ever.
How do you stop that?
Well, here's how you stop it, in my opinion.
This is just one possible solution.
First of all, you get rid of the tax system,
so you're no longer extracting energy from the people, right?
And you shift to a tariff-based system where these corporations,
the same ones that are building these drones and making the defense contractors,
the military industrial complex, are paying a premium for selling this stuff to the U.S.
government and maybe even other governments because they're all going to do the tariff system,
too, or they have been.
Then, right, you, you, we get our arms around this whole government spending situation and we cap it.
We say, all right, here's your budget, period, paragraph, you're done.
That's all you're getting.
You're not getting more money every time a war happens or whatever.
This is it.
Make it work.
Okay.
Then you introduce new technologies.
Like, hey, we're going to the moon.
Hey, we're going to space.
Hey, we're like, look at what China and Russia are building like space battleships.
They're making, they're making all kinds of this technology that Jim McQuast, I think, has been teasing to us.
You know, the stuff he's been talking about on Sean Ryan's show and his show and all of our shows.
Russia and China are already producing that.
They're already working on that.
So are you going to keep spending money making drones to go blow them up in the sky against Iran?
Or do you going to go compete with Russia and China and make the new technology that is going to take us to the next epoch of human existence, the golden age?
And I think all of them, all the incentive, again, we're just incentive-based creatures.
The incentive and the economy of efficiency is going to shift to that and it's going to flip to that because they're not getting more like additional money to go make drones anymore.
We're capping it.
That's what I think the game theory would suggest.
And again, the net effect is then, you know, just like with the airplane, just like with the iPhone, just like with every other like leap in technology we've seen, the military kind of leads the way like because they're doing it for national security purposes, et cetera.
And then there's a rising tide lifts all ships where the technology becomes available commercially to the rest of us.
And that's going to make cheaper energy.
That's going to make food production more affordable and widespread.
And again, standard of living goes up not just for Americans, but hopefully for the world.
And everyone benefits.
I like the theory.
I like the theory.
We could hash that out a lot more.
But we got to get into some news.
Maybe that's a that's a that's a whole other show in and of itself.
We'll get we'll get ghost on another another episode of our show of my show.
We did last week and it was fantastic.
That was awesome.
That was a fun conversation.
Yeah.
And I think two weeks from now, it's the week after Gart, I'm going to be on General Quas show on Space Revolution.
So that'll be a fun.
I really look forward to that conversation.
Excellent.
All right.
Let's go ahead and jump into this story here because this one's been getting a lot of clickbait headlines.
And I'll tell you what, I had to do my due dilly.
on this story and I did it and it's it's fascinating what I found so Daily Mail put this out bullet used to
kill Charlie Kirk did not match rifle allegedly used by suspect Tyler Robinson new court filing claims
that headline is utterly categorically false that is not what the court filing claimed it says the
bullet that killed conservative commentator Charlie Kirk may not it's funny how they go from did not in all
capitals to may not what a click bait i mean it's daily mail right they they they get the they get
the broad surface level of facts correct and then they put their own british spin on it so you know
take that take them with a grain of salt but also they they get you in the right direction sometimes
sometimes so it says the the bullet that killed conservative commentator charlie kirk may not match
the rifle used by suspected killer tyler robinson a bombshell new court filing states
Robinson is facing capital murder charges potential death sentence.
But his defense attorneys now argue that the Bureau of ATF was, quote, unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the allegedly to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson.
So when I saw this headline, immediately I'm like, duh, right?
Anybody with half a brain that watched the shooting.
And I've broken this down many times and, you know, I put this out there.
And the op on this is crazy ghost.
So I put a post up yesterday on Cana Coa the Great.
He had a post up about this.
And I put something up in response saying, you know, that I don't believe this the case and whatever.
And I basically said the same thing I said on my my post on my, uh, ex account.
I got railed in his comments.
You're retarded.
You don't know how gun ballistics and blah, blah, blah, quote unquote marine and like all this shit.
I'm like, bro, you know, I've lived and breathed.
firearms for almost 20 years now. Now, I'm not educated in college or anything on it, but I've
done ballistic report. I did forget that. I don't care about those kind of credentials. I care about
field experience. And it's like, do you have the 10,000 hour rule? Like, you're an expert when you
have spent 10,000 hours doing it. And that's you. Yeah. 10,000 hours, yeah, I would say I probably have
that. But just looking at the evidence that's been presented, right, the 30 odd six that was stopped by a
five inch neck with an adamantium spine, you know, vibranium, whatever you want to call.
Charlie Kirk's magic spine, the magic bullet.
No exit wounds.
It's fragmented.
Okay, if it fragments, it should disperse into different directions, which would mean there's a
path, you know, it's going to take the path to least resistance.
It's going to get an exit wound.
We didn't get an exit wound.
So if you don't have an exit wound, you can reconstruct bullets.
Now, it's not always definitive when you reconstruct a bullet, but you should be able to get,
I haven't even seen, this is crazy.
I haven't even seen an official report that it was a 30 odd six round that was recovered.
Like that hit me yesterday and I went scouring.
I, you know, I signed up for the Utah court docket so I can read all the
the filings and all that.
And I can't find anything where it definitively says it was a 30 odd six round.
But, but I'm not going to report on that because again, it very well could be out there.
I'm not saying such a report doesn't exist.
I'm just saying I haven't seen it yet.
There's a allegedly a four page ATF report on the bullet that I have not been able to.
to obtain yet. So here is what the actual document says. Let me open this right here, what the court
filing is good to have. Yeah. So it says here reading from this paragraph regarding the firearm
evidence, the defense has been provided with an ATF summary report, which indicates that the ATF was
unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson.
And now that just means that they can't definitively say the striations and the lands and grooves on this bullet match the rifling and the, you know, the rifle that whatever it was, I think they said it was a Mouser.
I can't remember the or they originally said it was a Mouser.
Then they said it was a Remington 700.
I believe I'm going off the top of my head.
Either way, they can't match it.
That doesn't mean that it's not the bullet as the Daily Mail says.
It says the state also indicated that the FBI is in the process of conducting.
a second comparative bullet analysis as well as a bullet led analysis and that these analyses are not
yet complete so is this good for you know tyler robinson's defense absolutely but is it
bullet did not because the bullet did not match let him go he's he's he's free to go you have no evidence
at that point that that he did this but saying that the bullet you know doesn't they can't definitively
say whether it does or does not match is is good for him but it's not the you know kind of the
deal it's not it's not the silver bullet in his defense not the magic bullet on pun intended uh yeah
so uh i heard i heard zach last night on um basis conspiracies give and he's he has a fair
amount of knowledge when it comes to firearms um he was he was describing this kind of analysis
is kind of junk science and saying that this is that the courts are shifting away from this
I've seen other people give similar analysis.
I don't have enough knowledge base in that realm,
the forensic science realm of it,
to be able to competently say one way or the other.
I've heard that before.
I've certainly heard that before
that some of the analysis that makes its way in the court
isn't necessarily like as foolproof science
as is presented by the quote unquote experts.
That's its own discussion.
I, again, just tend to focus more on like the human behavior
when it comes to all my analysis, most of my analysis.
And so I look at what are the people saying?
What are the people involved?
The character's saying.
And right now, like, there's just this full court press to, like, address this development
and, like, shift the goalposts and move the goalposts by all these people who, some of whom might be operatives, right, acting on behalf of, like, interested parties.
Some of whom, I think, are just people who have, like, influencers who have been caught up in the, like, in the whole, like, in the current and basically have adopted.
to this position that they feel like they need need to defend because they don't want to lose
face, lose credibility, right? They're in a take bunker, basically. But what they're saying now is
they're saying that, well, this isn't full proof like you said. And they're right, but what you're
saying is right as well. This is a significant, significant blow to the prosecution. This is a very
significant blow. It's circumstantial evidence. It doesn't prove definitively that he didn't do it. But
When you take the full context of the evidence that we have publicly and look at it, it's like, damn, this is beyond a reasonable doubt.
I'm not seeing that.
Not from what is publicly available.
And what Jack Posobic and Andrew Colvette and all those people who claim to be Charlie Kirk's friends have said is that they've seen the evidence.
They've seen the prosecutor, which is bullshit.
No, they haven't.
Nobody's seen that.
If they have seen it, then the prosecutor screwed up because they shouldn't be running around showing that to everyone.
That's going to screw up the trial.
that's a good segue into the next part of this goes i did read the the entire filing so this was a motion
to vacate or continue the preliminary hearing and so a prelimin hearing is essentially an evidentiary hearing
the state comes in presents their evidence the defense comes in presents their evidence and the judge
decides whether or not this is going to go uh to trial and you know again going back to what we've said
this whole time, you know, the bullet, right? And a lot of people are saying, well, 30 odd
sixes can easily just, you know, hit the spine and go down into the body. It's very, very, very,
very unlikely that that happened. And, you know, people, last night when I was posting this,
people are saying, well, why don't you post, why don't you post your research and post a video
stores? Source. There has this happened. There are hundreds of YouTube videos. TRP says,
frangible even frangible ammo i posted a video yesterday where they took five different types of
frangible ammo 100 yards out shot uh ham bone you know ham neck um uh with the cinder block behind it
put a a good size leg bone i don't know which bone specifically it was in front of it and we're
able to penetrate through the bone through the the the the the ham neck and the cinder block with
frangible ammo that's the softest ammo that's literally designed to fragment as soon as it
hit something and it's still the you know 2,800 to 3,000 feet per second 180 grain bullet
160 grain bullet it will penetrate six inches like nothing it will take your spine which is held
together by I don't know the medical cartilage cartilage essentially there's an actual medical there's
tinnitus there's cartilage there's meat but I mean it's not it's not titanium it's going to blow it right
It hit soft tissue.
It hit like the softest tissue there is, right?
I mean, God.
So then you also take into consideration the guy that was filming above Charlie Kirk that you hear the audible gunshot.
And as he pans to Charlie Kirk, you see the black figure halfway across the rooftop in less than two seconds, less than two seconds from the shot.
Now remember, they told us he disassembled the rifle after he shot it.
That he disassembled it.
And that's why you don't see this big, long-ass rifle when he's jumping off the building.
because he disassembled it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A master, a master school trained United States Marine Corps sniper, one of the hardest
programs in all of, well, it's, you know, one of the hardest programs in all of the military,
could not pull that shot off, disassemble a rifle and be up and running halfway across the roof in two seconds.
It just seems physically.
It seems physically impossible.
And yeah.
And again, this goes back to the human behavior.
Like these guys, Jack Basso.
Andrew Colvett, all of like the TPUSA people have been coming out and shaming people and screaming
at them and bullying them and saying, don't you dare even consider any alternative theory.
It's this guy.
We know it's him.
He confessed to it.
Like we had, by the way, the sheriff who took in the confession resigned yesterday.
I don't know if you saw that, but the guy who like brought Tyler Robinson in and got him to
confess.
Yeah, he resigned.
So, I mean, that's pretty damning.
Like, we're like, okay.
well maybe we should go maybe we should go talk to that guy um yeah i mean dude this is uh the the the
prosecution's falling apart like we're in real time and it's again the burden of the burden of
proof is not on tyler robinson to prove his innocence the burden of proof is on the state to prove
that he did it beyond a reasonable doubt and again i just don't see it like unless there's some
secret evidence they haven't shown us yet from what's publicly available there's there are way
too many holes in the theories to to say definitively that this kid did it and
and that he didn't have any accomplices or he's not being framed or whatever there's all these
different alternatives that aren't being considered and i go back to like joe kent what he told
tucker carlson and others that he was blocked that the counterterrorism team was blocked um that they
had social media posts days before charlie kirk was killed of people openly saying that charlie kirk
was going to be killed and that they like clearly had advanced knowledge that charler kirk was
going to be killed and they weren't allowed to run any of those down they were they were they were
locked and told, nope, we have our guy. Don't run any of those down. What the fuck?
Yeah. So that to the point you made earlier about, you know, all these influencers online saying,
we've seen the evidence and there's tons of it. The defense hasn't even seen the evidence.
Just let that, let that settle. So either it's prosecutorial misconduct by sharing evidence with
podcasters without sharing it with Tyler Robinson's own defense. Or you haven't seen Jack shit.
And that's why Andrew Colvett, which me and Ash played last Wednesday, him coming out and
they don't let Joe Kent testify.
You want this guy to get off?
He did it.
Why would you?
Why would you want this guy to get off?
He said that.
He said he did it.
Why would you,
why would you want Joe Kent to testify when there's got there's buckets of evidence
that this kid did it and you're going to,
you're going to try and get this guy off.
Yeah.
We have due process in this country.
You have the right to present a complete defense.
And if that means a government official testifying to the inadequacies of the report,
which he was, you know, firsthand knowledge to.
the investigation, I should say, the inadequacies of the investigation, checking out those foreign ties.
And again, I'm not making any claims here.
You know, everybody's, who's real? I'm not making any claims here.
I'm just looking at what we know and it does not lead to beyond a reasonable doubt whatsoever.
But listen to this ghost.
And again, this is a 69 page filing, 28 pages of documents and then you have testimony that you can read as well.
I have not read the testimony yet.
I've only read the 28 pages.
And they write here, for instance, at the March 12th,
2026 meeting, the state indicated that it intended to introduce the autopsy
report into evidence without any supporting expert testimony.
The autopsy report completed on September 16th, 2025 was not produced to the defense
until November 13th, 2025.
The autopsy photographs taken on September 10th, 2025 were not produced to the defense until
March 18th,
2026.
That's 12 days ago,
13 days ago,
that they finally got something
photographs that they took
six months ago.
And they're trying to go to a preliminary
evidentiary hearing whether or not this case
proceeds.
They have very little in this case,
I think,
and they're doing everything they can
to try and, you know,
kind of do the runaround on these public defenders,
hoping that they're not going to, you know,
pick this up and,
And, you know, Tyler Robinson, it seems like they're doing their job based on this report.
They talk about the DNA samples they found in that the DNA samples were all were, were minute, you know, very small traces of DNA.
But there were five DNA samples found, not just Tyler Robinson's.
There were five other DNA samples.
And the process that they go through calling that into question saying it's not admissible in court, it's very interesting what's going on with this case.
Yeah.
And like these quote unquote friends of Charlie Kirk who I mean their behavior is very, very strange.
Like I mean, they're running around basically saying don't look here.
Don't look. It's like you remember the pictures of the guys in Philadelphia who were putting the
the boards up on the windows at the election office, like at the election headquarters when people
were trying to look in to see what they were doing and they were like blocking their view.
That's what those guys are doing right now. And it's very suspicious. It's like they don't seem actually
interested in figuring out who killed their buddy. They seem very interested in making sure that
this guy goes down for it, regardless of whether or not he's actually guilty. And by the way,
everything they're doing when you combine that with what you just read, I think that's a pretty
compelling, like, argument that this whole thing has been, there's a ton of prosecutorial misconduct
happening. And basically, the jury pool is cooked. And how can this kid get a fair trial now? You know,
I mean, he might get off on a technicality now because of what these guys are doing. Because they're
basically going out there and prosecuting him in the court of public opinion and trying to convince
the entire public that he's guilty before the trial even happens oh and by the way they're not even
giving his defense team the evidence that they have so the defense team can at least come up with
their own counter narrative or they're or you start to formulate their defense uh yeah this feels
like this kid is getting railroaded uh regardless of how guilty he is and to your point it's a
due process question so if you really if you really think this kid did it and you really want to see him go down
it. You're basically doing everything you can to make sure he gets off on a technicality.
Yep. Also, it was the TCF center in Detroit that they were doing the pizza boxes. But,
but you, you got the main point across there. Um, yeah. So again, I, you know, I, I just want to
see a fair trial for this, for this kid. I want to see, you know, and that's something that
that anybody in his camp that truly cared about Charlie Kirk should want to see. They want to see
the right person locked up for this. And it's very, very interesting how they're coming out and saying,
don't look here. We've seen the evidence. Trust us. You know, and, uh, yeah. Yeah, I don't know.
And again, I've stayed off this subject because it's just because it's a lot of us become a
side show. A lot of it just become like a distraction thing. I think it's an important thing. I want to know
who killed Charlie Kirk because it's a very important thing for our country to understand in order
to move on and heal and like have catharsis.
But the whole argument about it before the trial has just become like its own little
shiny object.
I had my own theories the days after.
I even held off from like sharing them because I just didn't want to, I wanted to let
things play out a little bit.
I just want to be responsible with like, you know, being too quick to share my gut instinct.
But man, my gut instinct more and more is just looking, looking, uh, yeah, looking spot on.
is this feels like a cover up for sure.
So I stayed away from this case for the most part.
Yeah.
You know,
what we could see video evidence.
Y'all did forensic like bullet stuff.
Like,
yeah,
yeah,
like the whole Candace Taylor or Candace Owens.
Candace Taylor.
Who's?
Oh,
that's the Georgia.
I had Georgia on my mind.
The whole Candace Owens thing,
she ran for Congress.
I don't know why that popped up.
But the whole Candace Owens things,
like I've stayed away from all that shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And people are like,
oh, you watch too much Candace Owens.
I was like, dude,
I haven't watched Candace Owens in years.
Dude, yeah, I mean, the hour before Charlie was shot,
Matt Ehren and I did a whole show of breaking history.
We were just railing on Candace because she had just come out and said that maybe the entire American Revolution was a sciop.
And it was really being run by occultists.
And she learned that she came to this conclusion after speaking to a Catholic bishop in London,
a place that is like Anglican, like Anglican church, like not necessarily Catholic, but London of all places.
And also reading this book that she posted now in five minutes of research I went and looked it up in the guys own Wikipedia
Who wrote this book a lifelong relationship with him I six where he's basically been working in my fix his entire life and it's like okay
So in my six guy writes a book saying that the entire American Revolution was a sci op and all the founding fathers were Satanists and now canis is running with that so I was railing her now with that said a lot of the stuff she's put out some of the stuff she's put out that I've seen I haven't like really followed it closely is compelling like these text messages are compelling
But again, I want to see it all play out in a court of law where all the evidence is thoroughly vetted.
And it's like, so I don't have to sit there and do that myself.
I'm going to let, like, let's let due process play out.
These friends of Charlie Kirk, though, are basically making sure that that doesn't happen because this thing isn't even going to get to that point because it's going to be thrown out on technicality because they're mudding the water's too much.
Yeah.
And last thing before we move on, there's also, and I haven't read these yet, so I don't know if the judge has even ruled on them.
but they're also trying to keep media out of all of the hearings and trials for Tyler Robinson as well.
So they want this to essentially a state court, which is typically live streamed, viewable, watchable.
They want it to be a federal court where nobody can see how the sausage is made.
All right, let's jump into this story from the LA Times.
Marine Corporal accused of stealing, reselling weapons and ammo from Camp Pendleton.
This is a really strange story.
Corporal Andrew Paul Amarias amadias is accused of using his position as an ammo tech specialist at the SOI West School of Infantry West at the San Diego base to access and steal military property, including at least one javelin missile system, military-grade ammunition, and other weapons-related material between February of 2022 and November of 2025.
Those dates are really interesting.
He transported the stolen weapons and ammunition to his home state of Arizona, where he sold them to a network of co-conspirators and then resold the equipment to other.
Where are the arrests of the co-conspirators?
This sounds like an operation here where he's the supply guy.
He and then the co-conspirators are middlemen, knowingly engaging in the reselling of military grade equipment.
Even some of the rounds that he was stealing, the M855 rounds,
they're not technically supposed to be, you know, selling the military issued ones.
But the javelins for sure, you know, you cannot sell javelins.
I think you have to have like a class 10 or something to be able to sell explosives.
And even then, I don't think a javelin, which is one of the most sophisticated, you know,
single, single shooter weapons that we have.
And I'll get into that in a second here.
The court documents include text messages sent between Amarias and his unnamed
co-conspirators, quote, just got some jabs and some other ones, Amarillas wrote in August,
according to the criminal complaint. I have two launchers that I think you'd like if you want to
take a look tomorrow. And quote, the text messages also indicate photos, including one of a javelin
missile system whose serial number matched one that he had signed out from the school of infantry
west. Javelin missile systems are portable anti-tank weapons, also designed to destroy
low-flying helicopters and other fortifications.
Prosecutors say in one instance,
Amadillas offered 30 cans of ammunition,
about 25,000 rounds to a co-conspirator over a roughly two-week period.
Investigators say he stole 66 cans of M855 rifle ammunition,
about a third of which has been recovered.
He's currently being held without bail.
So the strange thing, first and foremost,
you don't simply check out a weapon system like a javelin and there's no accountability for that the marine
corps everywhere you go in the marine corps you do it's called an edl where where you literally sit
there and read serial numbers off of all of your serialized gear your rifle your NVGs your peck 15
on the end of your rifle the the the ACOG that you have on top your your scope basically you're
reading that uh if you have you know radios com gear
grenade well not so much grenades because you just tell them that you have grenades they're not
serialized but it's really strange that this guy was able to sign out a javelin this is a you know an
eighty thousand dollar rocket system that you're able to sign out and just drive off base with it
nobody cares we had NVGs go missing one time i told colonel tanner this on x yesterday we had a
pair of NVGs right little monocular uh pvs 14 NVs i think they're pvs 14s that went missing
we were on base for 12 hours while we they went through everybody's room looking for these
they were this close to locking down the entire base because they went missing this was camp
lejeune they don't do that i guess apparently at so i and camp pendleton where at so i they have
stricter uh requirements because you're dealing with junior marines that don't have mOS
assignments yet they're they're fresh to the they're not even in the fleet yet technically
They're fresh out of boot camp and they're still training.
So the restrictions on that are significantly more robust than in the fleet.
You would think, again, I'm speaking from my recollection from 15 years ago.
The other thing is how significant this is, that javelins go missing like this and that it can happen like that.
The javelin is an incredibly sophisticated system.
It uses what's called a clue that you mounted on your shoulder.
big wide tube and you take the clue and it basically takes a picture of what you're aiming at
and it assesses, analyzes and assesses that picture. And then when you, you know, fire the
system, it launches this rocket straight up into the air. And then as the rocket's coming down,
it uses that picture and identifies your target and hits your target. And it's so sophisticated
that you can have two M1 Abrams side by side, take a picture of one of them and it'll hit
that one, I don't know, maybe nine times out of ten. It'll hit the,
specific tank that you took a picture of so this can be used for aircraft it can be used for we
when i was in afghanistan i think we shot like over 25 javelins uh which a lot of uh you know
to go their whole career without shooting a single one our guy got to shoot like 19 or 20 of them
um and we you told me that when you came on the book of trump like that your toe the toe gunner
it's like he had like a massive like uh his kill his kill this was very long and all you
All he had to do was just come out and shoot the javelin,
then he goes back in his tent.
It's like that scene in Troy where Achilles comes out and, like, kills the guy and then goes back to his tent, right?
That's what he used to do.
He used to come out.
He'd be wearing boots and yutes.
He'd put on his flack jacket, his Kevlar.
He'd go up to Sabre Post.
He'd take the clue, put the clue in, get it warmed up, take the shot and then go back and go to sleep.
That's all he did all deployment.
We'll shoot javelins and saber rounds, saber missiles, toe missiles.
That's all he did.
But anyways, the point is, is this significant.
I mean, the ammo itself is very concerning.
Where's this stuff going?
Who are the co-conspirators in this case?
Right.
There's clearly a middleman that he is stealing these items for, handing them off to them,
and then they're selling them on the market somewhere.
And like, where are the arrests for those people?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm so glad you took it there because that's exactly where I was going with it,
is that that's what it feels like.
It feels like this is, I saw Colonel Tanner Watkins post, not this too.
This feels like an Operation Gladiow thing.
This feels like a regime change thing where where does ISIS get all those weapons?
Because, you know, like ISIS has javelin.
Like they have these missile systems that they shouldn't have.
Where are they getting them from?
Well, you know, 10 years ago, the explanation was, well, they got him from Gaddafi's armory, right?
They got them because all these weapons got stolen from Gaddafi's army, the largest private army in the world, which is why he was targeted.
One of the reasons he was targeted.
But 15 years later, we're 15.
years later and we're still working with the missile like they still have the weapon systems that came
out of the armory bullshit so where are they getting where is isis in africa getting operating
uh... fighting uh... burkina faso and fighting in the congo like where are they getting all these
weapons systems from i don't know if they have javelins they have other stuff
they have they have ukrainian drones like we know that so where are they getting this stuff
from somebody's stealing it and somebody's giving it to them um and by the way uh let's share my screen
uh this happened on friday jo kent gave an interview to mint press news where he disclosed
formally that the u.s was working directly with isis and al qaeda in syria on israel's behalf
to topple bashar Assad this was like under obama um which is something that we have speculated
for years right just you just using like the obvious data that's out there and just basic logic exercises
But now we have one of the highest formal intelligence officials in the Trump administration formally disclosing that.
Like formally saying, yes, this is what happened.
This is, in my opinion, the closest thing we're going to get to like actual disclosure of this.
Like maybe one day documents will come out like declassified.
I don't know if those would be any more compelling than Joe Kent saying this right here.
But the timing of this on Friday he does this and then this guy gets arrested, whatever Monday for doing it.
I don't know, man.
I see overlap.
And it wouldn't surprise me if we're going to learn that al-Qaeda and ISIS were using
the weapon systems that were being stolen in this exact kind of situation and then given
to them.
Because remember, the Pentagon has never passed an audit.
Like they can't account for anything.
So they don't know where any of their stuff is, right?
So here was the interesting thing about this article to me, Ghost.
Where does it in orange where it says that he started selling the systems between
February of 2022 and November of 2025. Those two dates are significant.
All right. February 2020 is when the Ukraine-Russia war kicked off. And we started handing things
over at the cyclic rate, thick-like rate, to Ukraine. Now, I don't understand why
SOI West, you know, a regiment that's training Marines that's not, you know, it's not like,
why would it be passing through there if that's the case is this guy you know a fall guy for
something bigger you know more systems that that ended up going rogue and and disappearing i don't know
maybe he might have been doing this who knows but then november 2025 is when it ended and that's
when trump was reelected oh well actually no that's a year after never mind so scratch that
but it's it's weird that this all kicks off in november 2025 i think 2025 is is that when
we officially stopped funding Ukraine?
2025.
I'm not sure if we even have officially stopped funding Ukraine.
My understanding is that a lot of these funding bills were like over time.
It's like, oh, they're not getting all this money today, but they're going to get it, you know,
incrementally over months or years.
So, I mean, for all we know, we're cutting them checks today.
But that could be that could be stuff that Congress passed a year ago, right?
Yeah, we paused it in early 2025.
It doesn't say a specific date here.
Okay.
So it's just, I mean, this is, this is what happens when, when you have, you know, just massive amounts of money, weaponry and everything else being sent over to Ukraine.
Now, here's what could have happened.
Here's what could have happened.
Those weapons in SOI, you know, they're not getting the best, right?
In fact, when I was in SOI, we shot AT4s.
We didn't even get to shoot the AT4.
We got to shoot the 9mm aiming round.
So with the AT4, you shoot a 9mm.
9 millimeter first and you see where it hits.
And that's how you know that your AT4 is going to hit that.
You aim for that spot because the ballistics are similar in terms of velocity and
everything else.
And so we never even got to shoot the AT4.
We just got to shoot the 9mm around.
I shot AT4s in Afghanistan, but never in SOI.
So SOI is getting kind of the leftovers.
So I wonder if perhaps the leftovers from SOI, you know, kind of the worn down old equipment,
was being taken from SOI and sent over to Ukraine.
And that's how this guy was able to finagle these systems away, you know, somehow in the in the chaos of of, you know, going through all their weapon systems.
They were able to push these off to the side and make them kind of disappear.
I don't know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I mean, again, I'm asking from a position of ignorance because I'm not a veteran.
But I know I've I've heard you tell stories, alpha tell stories, others tell stories and then just on speculation.
I mean, there is there is like a commingling.
there is like an integration to some level between the U.S. military and the intelligence community,
like the CIA, right?
I mean, like when you are deployed, you have a guy walking around and that is not one of,
not an enlisted soldier.
He's probably presumably CIA, right?
He may not walk around with a name tag saying I'm CIA, but he's embedded, right?
Yeah.
And just a quick correction.
I said AT4, Misfit 556 correct me, small, not an AT4.
Okay.
I actually have a, this is a small tube right here.
So this is what actually goes on the back of the small.
And thank you for correcting me.
All right, we can put that back.
But so there we go.
Okay.
But is that an accurate, is that an accurate statement that when you're deployed,
you have a guy, you have gosh me, intelligence community who are not enlisted,
who are not soldiers embedded with you at some point, sometimes?
No, walking around like in region, like whatever.
I mean, there's an integration to some level, not saying that
they're like in the chain of command,
but they would have access to facilities that have,
or to personnel that have,
that has an armory that has weapons that has,
I mean,
they could be coordinating all this stuff.
They could be,
uh,
like,
you know,
ostensibly injecting themselves and being like,
all right,
soldier,
go gather this stuff and bring it to us,
right?
I mean,
so we did,
we did have intel attached to us,
um,
military intel,
like guys that donned uniforms,
like war,
Marine Corps uniforms,
Marine Corps uniforms,
Marine intel.
Could they have been CIA? Yes, absolutely. Could they have been some sort of intelligence,
DIA, work, and whatever? Absolutely. There's no question. We did have a couple intel guys that would
rotate through our base that would stay in the C. The COC and kind of monitor everything,
you know, give intelligence briefings to our captain and that kind of thing. As far as like CIA
attaching the units, that's more like special forces, joint special operations kind of thing.
didn't really do that much with us at all that we know of again we had intel guys that would go out with us but they were military intelligence and uh yeah not openly cia so all right let's uh jump into this story i want to kind of go through quick because i want to give gordon uh as much time as he needs today new york post mass exodus from los angeles from los angeles from los angeles county recorded the largest population drop of any in the nation between july twenty twenty four and july twenty twenty five
according to a newly released U.S. Census Bureau estimate.
Roughly 54,000 residents left the county during that one-year period,
marking a continuation of a steady slide for the nation's most populous county.
Riverside and San Bernardino counties together gained more than 21,000 residents
over that same period.
Las Vegas gained a influx of 20,000.
Across California population declines are becoming more widespread in a sharp drop in immigration
is playing a role.
Who would have thought?
A sharp drop in immigration playing a role in California's population dwindling.
San Diego's county's population fell by more than 5,000 residents in 2025.
Reversing gains from the prior year.
Census estimates show foreign arrivals in San Diego plunged by roughly 65% year over year.
So from 2024 to 2025, 65% of their foreign arrivals plummeted.
It's almost like closing the board.
border, you know, stop the influx of people arriving at these cities in California.
One of the steepest declines in more than a decade.
Nationwide, the Census Bureau found immigration slowed in the vast majority of U.S.
counties last year of more than 2,000 counties that experienced growth the year before,
80% saw that growth weakened or reverse in 2025.
California has been partially hit hard with all 58 counties recording declines in
foreign immigration and 30 counties lost population overall, a sharp increase from 18 counties
the prior year. And then lastly, a shrinking population, especially among working age residents,
can translate into worker shortages, rising cost, and slower economic growth. What a load of
garbage that is. Business owners in construction and service sectors report increasing difficulty
finding workers, a trend they attribute in part to the decline in immigrant labor. No,
They should attribute to paying shit ass wages, driving up costs of everything and not wanting to pay for, you know, fair wages.
Otherwise, that's why, you know, you have immigration, uh, excuse me, immigration, uh, unemployment rates, you know, skyrocketing.
And I'm not talking about the 4.3% that we see every time with the BLS.
I'm talking about the people that have left the workforce, people that have found, you know, other ways whether it's getting paid under the table, drug dealing, you know, illicit, you know, jobs.
when you see this immigration cut start to happen especially in California that's going to start
not incentivizing but requiring companies to start hiring American citizens to start doing these jobs
and guess what if you're not competitive you're not going to find the work there's no more immigrant
labor slave labor coming over from across the border that's going to fill these positions for you
you're you're done paying people five dollars an hour to stand on a roof and re-roof a building for
you or you know to to assemble a building for you and I know you deal uh kind of
generally with that but I'll I'll land it there for you yeah I mean it's um no I
think you make I think you make good points and that goes are all good salient points and
yeah I don't really have anything bad I mean there's it's not like it's just
common sense stuff like if you if you if you take away the the source of their slave
labor their migrant labor then they're gonna have to you know adjust and and
improvise, adapt and overcome if they want to sustain their business.
Now, this is interesting that the California things come out as just the news is putting out an old
story. This is an old story. This is from, you know, several years ago. James Calmer says
biased census miscalculated in the 2020 costing Republicans multiple house seats. Now, James
Calmer, House Oversight Committee chair, is saying that the census made estimations instead of doing
a physical count during the COVID-19 pandemic and estimated higher in Democrat areas like major
cities and underestimated in the suburban areas that are known to be more Republican.
Colmer said California, New York and Rhode Island should have lost more House seats than they did
and that Florida and Texas should have gained at least one new member of Congress because
of the exodus during the pandemic.
Now, I think Florida gained two, Texas gained two.
So is he saying one more?
I'm not sure.
but the other big question with the census,
and this is one that's just broadly addressed in this article,
is illegals being counted in the census.
And that has to go away for 2030 when they do the census then.
But again, we've got that lap there, that overlap of 2029 and 2030,
where we're not going to have, maybe not going to have President Trump in office.
we're not going to have, you know, maybe we have a conservative president for those two years.
But if we don't, they're just going to open the floodgates again.
Mark my words.
If President Trump is not president in 2029 and it's not a, you know, staunchly vetted MAGA equivalent in that position,
they're just going to open the borders.
They're going to flood these countries again so that when they run the 2030 census under intense scrutiny,
they have that migrant population to bolster those numbers in their strongholds, California, New York, Illinois, counties and states like that.
Yeah, and add to that, of course, that the conflict is, there's a domino effect happening here.
The conflict is unfolding across the Middle East, right?
You now have a pretty big war happening in southern Lebanon.
There's fighting in Syria.
There's reportedly fighting in Gaza and the West Bank.
and all of those conditions create more migrants, like all of them,
especially when you have NGOs on the ground with a bus waiting in a plane ticket and saying,
hey, this way, this way, this way, right?
And all it takes is getting them to the EU.
Once they get to the EU, it's much easier to get them to the United States.
Again, because they have ways of doing it.
I mean, they have back channels.
They have ways of getting people there.
They can do it by the book.
They can do it through human trafficking.
but, you know, if they want the people there, they can get them there.
And again, the wars are what drive the desire for people to leave where they've lived for
thousands of years or hundreds of years or whatever, right?
So again, that's the engine.
That's the engine.
It's a right-wing, left-wing conspiracy that is a uniparty, 1,000% happening.
Uniparty conspiracy.
Yep.
Absolutely.
All right, before we move on, let's go ahead and hit a sponsor.

It reminds me on Natasha Bertrand's Hunter Biden laptop Russian or former spies say Russian laptop is Russian disinfo or whatever.
Yeah, that story.
All right, let's get into Eric Swalwell, freaking out on CNN when it gets called out about the DHS funding saying, you know, basically you guys are doing this all just for show because ICE is already funded.
So what the fuck are you doing?
You're causing these massive lines at the airports.
What are you doing?
Do you disagree with what I laid out there that ICE has enough money, that there is enough money without the money that Democrats are objecting to?
Because what are what?
That's why I don't want to get more money.
Okay.
But if they have enough, then how is it?
it not just symbolic? Because at this point you have a lot of people who are paying the price,
right? A lot of attention has been paid to TSA. They, of course, are now getting paid because of the
executive order, but it's not just them, right? Civilians in the Coast Guard, they are going
without, many of them in California. How long should they be prepared to work without a paycheck?
It's not symbolic to a six-year-old boy named Joseph in my district. A couple weeks ago,
he and his family were arrested and deported, and he's deaf, and he goes to a school for the
deaf and ice wouldn't even allow him to take his assistive hearing devices with him.
They sent him to Columbia within days. My staff flew to Columbia took the assistive living devices.
So for Californians, you know, this is, this is.
All right. Just pause right there. That's absolute garbage when you do that.
Oh, well, you know, this one person out of 330 million people in America, they took him away with his
family. Was he here illegally? Yes, he was. They took him away with his family and they took away his
assistive hearing devices. They didn't let him go.
with those were they taxpayer funded because i mean technically the government can't let him go with
those uh but we saved the boy and we flew down to columbia and brought him his assistive hearing
devices look my heart goes out for the kid you know it's got to be absolutely tragic being
you know deaf at that age i i couldn't imagine it but this is a complete emotional ploy right here
it's it's emotional blackmail it is absolutely emotional blackmail well you know we're we're doing
this because of joseph right that one little little
boy in Columbia now.
Shut up.
Shut up, Eric.
Anyways, we'll keep going.
Anything but symbolic.
It's real.
It's present.
And I cannot sanction what they're doing,
co-sign on what they're doing,
even symbolically give them more support because these are people scared for their
lives.
And the solution was right in front of us.
Do with the Senate to don't give them any more money,
but fund everyone else like TSA.
We can do that right now in House Representatives,
Speaker Johnson's show.
And how long do you think folks should expect this shutdown to continue?
It can end right now, you know, Brianna.
The president, if he says he's paying TSA, who the hell knows?
He doesn't even seem to believe in Congress anymore.
He's in defiance of the Republican leader in the Senate.
Let me rephrase it.
How long are Democrats prepared?
How long are Democrats prepared to hold the line on where they are if there isn't a change from Republicans?
I will continue to support paying TSA.
I cannot support more public executions or deporting more little children like the six-year-old in my district who was sent without his hearing devices to Columbia.
I'm not in for that.
And most Americans aren't you?
Okay, again, another emotional blackmail hashtag hat tip to Overton News for for that link right there.
Here's the thing and we'll talk more about this in just a moment, but Congress is a very specific duty when it comes to the Department of Homeland Security, right?
They have the oversight over these bureaucratic agencies.
So you do one of two things.
You either fund them, which is, you know, part of their obligation is Congress, not obligation, but their duty is Congress to determine.
and whether or not they deserve funding or abolish them.
If you don't like ICE, abolish it.
Propose doing that.
Oh, we don't have the votes.
Yeah, you don't have the votes.
You know why you don't have the votes?
Because you lost a fucking election.
Okay, so get in line.
When you have these people in the TSA lines, and again, I'm not a fan of DHS whatsoever,
but it's the system that we've got right now.
And to leave it upended like this, you are destroying travel plans, you know,
obligations that many Americans have.
We played yesterday in your neck of the woods up in Maryland, a line going outside into the parking lot of an airport in Maryland.
That's nuts, man.
So one of two things, either get in line and fund it, shut up.
It's already funded anyways.
You're doing this purely to cause and inflict pain on Americans.
ICE has $100 billion in their coffers.
They're not going anywhere.
So you're doing this specifically despite Americans.
Fuck you, man.
Yeah, I mean, and again, like I have a specific.
view that a lot of people think I'm a crackpot and that's fine.
But I think that there are a lot of different systems of systems that are being targeted right now.
The banking system is one of them.
I have sauce to support that assertion that banks are being taken down.
The assets are being frozen or seized.
We saw Credit Suisse, one of the biggest banks in the world, the biggest bank in Switzerland,
collapsed in 2022.
And then we're forced buyout by UBS that the government of Switzerland forced in 2023.
And there's still an investigation happening right now by the Senate to understand exactly what the UA, what the Credit Suisse Bank possesses in terms of these secret accounts.
Again, being driven largely by Jewish lobbyists who are concerned that they have Nazi gold and Nazi cash.
That's really what has driven it.
But now it sounds like these investigators have found other things, too, that are like drug cartel stuff, human trafficking stuff, whatever.
But when it comes to this, I think Congress is being exposed.
I think Congress is being fully exposed for the frauds that they are.
I think the Republican Party is absolutely useless.
It's why I don't support it.
It's why I don't get excited for the things that they do.
I don't really pay a lot of attention to it because I think a lot of it is just performative nonsense and, like, shiny object distraction.
Again, I think I asked last week or the week before, what have they accomplished?
from the past 12 months.
And I think the one thing you came up with was the Lincoln Riley Act.
That's it.
They haven't done anything else.
And so while I agree with what you're saying, and I think that, yeah, this is all, like, emotional blackmail.
I think the whole thing is being exposed as a fraud.
I mean, the pictures of Lindsay Graham and Disney World right now, like the people on vacation.
Yeah, they're all on vacation right now, like, enjoying their lives while they're getting paid, what, $5,000 a week?
I think it is. Like they make like what two 240,000 dollars a year or something like that.
That's $5,000 a week of my math is right.
Yeah. And they're basically just on vacation and join their lives while the average
American is struggling to pay its bills. And now we're looking at gas going up.
And they're not funding the TSA so people can't even get on a plane and fly.
This is a disaster. The whole thing is a disaster. TSA is a disaster.
That shouldn't even exist because of Patriot Act, but that's a different discussion.
So I think all there are a lot of conversations that I think this is generating that are good that we need to be discussing.
All the things that is listed out are different debates and conversations.
But at the end of the day, I think that Congress is being exposed.
I think that a lot of the hacks and frauds in the MAGA movement and the even within the Trump administration are being being exposed.
And it's all good.
Like we should be leaning into it because friction is good.
Friction drives discussion and conflict and conflict.
resolution. Yeah, so this is the story that Ghost was talking about. Lindsay Graham caught, well, not
caught, but seen and photographed in Disney World. It says Lindsey Graham said he was doing business in
Florida and just made a short pit stop at Disney World. But based on his new photo, he was a full-blown
tourist while thousands of federal workers go unpaid. Lindsay Graham is strolling in the tangled
area of Magic Kingdom on Friday carrying a bubble wand. As for the bubble wand, as for the bubble
wand it says an eyewitness tells us he was holding it for a little girl while she was in the bathroom
that's kind of creepy feel like we need some explanation on that because i don't think he has any kids
he has no children and he's and no wife that's really weird yeah it says as for the bubble one was holding it
for a little girl while she was in the bathroom graham told tm z he was at a meeting friday with trump
officials in south florida and he went to orlando afterwards to meet up with some friends i voted seven times to
fully fund the government.
Call a Democrat.
Well, we just found out last week that you can pass the funding bill with a simple majority
in the House.
Excuse me, in the Senate, not even a simple majority with five, five.
Remember, they passed that first bill that they sent to the House, five people,
a voice vote with five people.
Now, they said in this last vote, Chris Coon stayed behind because they did a pro forma session
yesterday. Well, let me, let me get in that. Um, and then I'll, I'll get ready to hand it over to you. I think I got, oh, well, I'm going to do the heckseth stuff too before you hand out. I'm going way off because I do have to cover this real quick. So yesterday we talked about Swalwell, Cash Patel disclosing the decade long or decade, decade ago investigation into Swalwell and Fang Fang. Washington Post, Eric Swalwell sends cease and desist letter to FBI director. If I, if you had to guess Ghost,
Two guesses what attorney is working for Swalwell.
Take two guesses.
Rod Rosenstein?
No.
Think more mainstream defending Democrats.
Oh, Mark Elias?
You're so close, Norm Eisen.
Ah, okay.
Attorneys for Swalwell demanded FBI director Cash Patel refrained from releasing a decade
investigative files involving the congressman's purported ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence
operative.
The congressman called for the FBI to agree.
within three days not to release the files adding that any further action to release them could
prompt him to take legal action swalwell's attorney said there was no justification for releasing the
files especially since the congressman had assisted the fbi in its investigation fatu fuck all the way off
we don't have any we so so the fbi investigated it i cooperated it with with it it was also under
a favorable regime right the chris ray fbi don't see don't look at anything
here ignore all of this okay no no actually it wasn't under chris ray it was under uh comie wasn't it
10 years ago yeah it would have been under comie even more favorable mhm
quote congressman has never been accused of wrongdoing in that matter and your attempt to release the
file as a transparent attempt to smear him and undermine his campaign for governor of california the
letter said your actions threatened to expose you others at the fbi and the fbi itself to significant
legal liability. Swallow's attorney, Sean Hacker and Norm Eisen, wrote in Monday's letter that releasing
the Swallow documents would violate several laws, including the Federal Privacy Act of 1974. It would
violate the First Amendment, they added, since it would amount to targeting Swalwell for his outspoken views about
President Trump. They also warned against running afoul of the longstanding Justice Department
norm that agents should refrain from taking any public investigatory steps against a political
candidate in the 60 days before an election. And I just want to remind you guys that they literally
threatened Trump with that with Jack Smith in 2024. Oh, we could put Trump on trial in the run-up to
the 2024 election. We can do that. That's perfectly legal. Anyways, it's kind of insane ghost that you have
an undisclosed report, an FBI report, public information, right? It's our FBI. We fund it. We fund it.
The work product is our work product.
It is our representatives that are being investigated to think that the people of California
don't deserve to know what was in that report about Eric Swalwell banging a Chinese spy
while he's on the House Permanent Select the House Select Permanent Intelligence Committee is absolutely insane
that they shouldn't know what was going on there.
And what's worse is the resistance to it.
If you were found no wrongdoing, let the report out there.
You should be encouraging people to read it and saying, see, I was sleeping with a Chinese spy and I still kept my little mouth shut.
But I don't think that's what the report would say.
Yeah, I mean, people who are honest aren't afraid of the truth.
They aren't afraid of scrutiny and they aren't afraid of, especially if they're already like this, he's already in scandal.
He's already been accused of like sleeping with a Chinese spy.
So if he wasn't like if there's, if he's innocent to your point, it's like he should want the whole thing adjudicated and like to be exonerated.
it if he wasn't doing anything wrong, even if it is embarrassing.
It's already embarrassing.
So we're kind of past that point.
You might as well embrace the embarrassment and, you know, exonerate yourself and just
allow the whole thing.
Again, if he was innocent, he would be eager for people to like understand the full scope
of it.
But when people are dishonest and they're doing something, they know they're doing something
wrong, they're going to, you know, want to distract you and cover up scrutiny.
Yep.
Jersey brand logo says,
kind of, holy pedophile.
And I think that's referring to the TMZ, Lindsay Graham.
The only reason I say kind of is because, I mean,
I have friends that have, you know, young kids that, that like if we were all out,
they'd be like, hey, can you hold this?
And I'd be like, sure, I'd hold it or whatever.
So I, you know, I don't want to, I don't want to go and make those kind of act.
It's still creepy.
There's nobody else around him in that photo.
Like he's not like with other people talking.
He appears to be by himself in that photo.
Well, there's like three days. Apparently there's like he was there for multiple days and there's pictures of him like track like people. I think there's somebody there like tracking him basically like taking pictures for TMZ or whatever. And there's no there's no evidence that he was there like that there's other people in every single picture. Like he's out at dinner. I mean, he does appear to be out at dinner with other people. But it's like is he there with like a friend's family and like, oh, okay, I'm just holding this from my friend's kid. I mean, that's a reasonable explanation. But I haven't seen, not that I've looked into it super.
depth, but I haven't seen evidence that that's what that is.
That he's, now, it probably is.
I mean, frankly, but the optics of this are so goofy and just like embarrassing for, for
Lindsey Graham, especially in this moment, like, where he's like, he is the, he is the face of the
Iran war, basically in Congress.
He's been the one out there bumping his chest being like, we got to do this no matter
what.
And now there's a picture of him at Disney World holding like a pink, like, princess wand.
Like, I don't know.
There's something about this that feels like a human.
humiliation ritual. I don't want to go to the full like, oh, this is all scripted and
be like he's being forced to do this. Maybe. I like, I prefer the game theory explanation of
everything, but that basically we are watching a soap opera that Trump is cast very brilliantly
where he has put all these people in place unwittingly. It's like not to their knowledge,
inside of the government and outside of the government, when you look at figures like Tucker
Carlson, Joe Kent, whatever. And this whole thing is just playing.
playing out there's an orchestra that's playing now and trump's the conductor and uh people are
basically as acting in their own best interest and their own incentive structures and the net effect
the net outcome is this is the humiliation of the establishment the humiliation of the
uniparty and the exposure of its uh criminality yeah all right so uh real quick i just want to
cover this very surface level bill malusian the senate has held a quick pro forma session and adjourned
until thursday gop did not introduce the house bill the house
passed DHS funding bill via unanimous consent.
But if they did, Senator Chris Coons was here and told us he planned to object and kill it.
Mike Lee put on X that the Senate just completed the pro forma session.
No attempt was made to pass the funding bill.
And then he says this is the Senate's second recess since the DHS shutdown.
The Senate shouldn't have taken the last one.
Couldn't have taken the last one right after the impasse began either,
but it certainly shouldn't be taken this one, a two-week recess 40 days into the crisis.
This is insane and inhumane.
The Senate should fully convene immediately and debate funding proposals until DHS is fully funded.
14 days.
They're going on recess while we're going on recess.
We all want to go travel see our families, right?
Easter's coming up.
We've got Gart.
This will take it, you know, almost to Labor Day, Memorial Day.
Excuse me, Labor Day.
I mean, these are all things we want to do, but no, not for you guys.
they're going to skip lines except on Delta
hat tip to Delta major hat tip to Delta
in fact maybe that's what we should start doing
is calling out all
the airlines to revoke any
privileges that Congress and their staff
have in moving through TSA
lines and then as something
you know Zach brought up yesterday
we pay a fee
for TSA when we buy tickets
where the fuck is that money going
hmm
yeah
good question
yeah let's
jump into the geopolitics here and and we could go over this story real quick just because I thought it was
you know we brought it up a second ago from the AP not a second ago in the beginning of the show
Ukrainians chai german defense boss for jibes about Lego drones made by housewives senior
officials in Kiev are taking a swipe at the head of the German defense giant Ryan
Mattel uh whose unflattering comments about Ukraine drone technology and the role of women in
the war against Russia ignited a social media backlash
The chairman and CEO, Armin Pappager, likened Ukraine's development of cutting-edge drone expertise as like playing with Legos and said the drones are being built by Ukrainian housewives.
They have 3D printers in the kitchen and they produce parts for the drones.
He said in a comment to the Atlantic magazine, this is not innovation.
Zelensky, who is offering his country's advanced drone tech to Gulf countries amid the Iran war, described Pappager's comments as strange.
If every Ukrainian housewife can really produce drones, then every Ukrainian housewife could also be the CEO of Rhine Mattal.
There you go. That's the real story here. That's real story. And look, this just lends itself to what I was just saying. This is humiliation ritual right here. Because is this story true or is it not true? I mean, I don't know. I can't possibly verify that, but it doesn't really matter. The net effect of this story is this is humiliating for the military industrial complex.
We're paying billions, if not trillions of dollars to the defense contractors to protect us, right?
Like to provide national security to us.
And the official narrative now is that housewives in Ukraine are using 3D printers to make drones out of Legos that are now being deployed against Israel in the Arab Gulf states to great effect.
I mean, we're going to go over that in a minute.
This is whatever is happening is being done very effectively.
And it you know this whole thing is super goofy and I agree with that take that any housewife in Ukraine can be the CEO of, you know, Northrop Gremlin or, you know, Raytheon.
Rosie the Riveter.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, but seriously, why do we need these massive corporations if we can just get housewives in America to make our weapon systems for us?
probably more effective too a lot cheaper for sure yep um all right so let's uh real quick so president
trump truth this out yesterday there's no volume here but this is a huge huge massive explosion
uh believed to be in iran you see all sorts of little tail-offs there yeah that's how you know
it's totally real and not i i well it could be so so here's the
thing and we'll play you see like little things going off they they're claiming it was an ammo
depot and we'll get into that here in just a second so i watched uh secretary of war heggseth's
brief this morning and uh this is what he had to say about this and i thought this was interesting
the video the president posted last night of esfahan an ammo depot struck by u.s bombers you
see you don't get to see many of those videos because as a reminder iran has still shut off the
internet to 99.9% of its population. But if Iran is wise, they will cut a deal.
President Trump doesn't bluff and he does not back down. You can ask Khomeini about that.
The new Iranian regime should know that by now. This new regime, because regime change has
occurred, should be wiser than the last. President Trump will make a deal he is willing.
And the terms of the deal are known to them.
If Iran is not willing, then the United States War Department will continue with even more intensity.
So regime change has occurred.
President Trump is willing to make a deal.
How many should heed that advice?
A lot of little Easter eggs in that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there are.
And there are a few other clips that I think are that I just saw that I think are worth playing.
Do you have Trump on Air Force One?
No, no, I don't think I have that one.
I mean, I have a lot of clips of Trump and Air Force One from this week,
but I don't know which specific one you're referring to this one where he's talking about Iran and, uh,
oh, here we'll put we'll play this.
Yes, I think I have this one.
It's the one I'm thinking of, but go ahead and play it.
All right.
Putting loose on the ground.
Would you do that without going to conference?
I just have lots of voters.
We have tremendous.
numbers of ships over there. We don't need them long because of the power.
Look, I would say we're just like we're ahead of schedule on the ballroom.
We're going to knock out 158 ships their entire Navy, which we did. We knocked out their entire
airport. Most of their missiles, that's why you see missile attacks, but they're down to
their sputtering. And we have a group, it's really a new regime. It's a group of people,
people that we just truly...
part of these kind of issues? We think he made me with nobody's heard about him. He's, uh, he may be alive,
but he's obviously very seriously in trouble. He's seriously wouldn't. You had offered that 50 point
plans we want. They came back on the 15 points. They gave us most of the points. Why wouldn't they?
Sound like they made some concessions. If you never find out. Well, they're agreeing with us on
15 things and for the most part. They're serious. They gave us all these books. When I talked about
days ago a present they said they gave me a present but i didn't think i was it was eight that must do it's
ten massive boat for the present they gave us 20 bucks ago that sucks i i love that on the 10th day of iran
war my 10 yeah yeah it's great and um and by the way those boats were all pakistani flagged
so these are these are these are Pakistani tankers uh that were allowed through um pakistan has
is offered to be the site of like a meeting between Iran and the US.
I saw that the Pakistani ambassador, the ambassador to Pakistan, or maybe he's the Pakistani ambassador
to Iran, or maybe he's the pack.
I think he's the Pakistani ambassador to the US because he was Pakistani.
Was on Brett Baer last night and was, he said, you know, it's really hard to negotiate with
the Iranians because we just don't know who to talk to because there doesn't really seem to be
anybody in charge. It's almost like they don't have like a head of state or like a head of government.
Keep that in mind as we move forward. But yeah, Pakistan's important and all this. It's worth noting
that the prime minister of Pakistan loves Trump. Remember he started crying in al-Shabaab last year,
September when Trump went there and they signed the big peace deal. It was the big formal meeting
that Netanyahu wasn't allowed to attend. And the one person who Trump, like all the European people got up
Trump was like, I don't know why all y'all are up here.
Like, y'all aren't even like part of this.
And the one guy he allowed to get up and speak was the Pakistani prime minister.
He started crying being like,
President Trump is the only person who can do this and is the most important person
to be making world peace right now.
He's like, I just love him so much.
And Trump talks about how much he loves the Pakistani prime minister.
So, you know, this stuff is, it's fun for me to like watch it.
But anyway, I'm getting off on a tangent.
All right, before I handed over full range to you real quick,
I do want to hit our final sponsor of the show.
And let's go ahead and talk here.
Have you guys ever watched the news or big game and thought,
I know how this is going to play out.
This guy right here.
This guy does that all the time.
I know how this is going to play out.
Instead of just tweeting about it,
you can actually put those predictions to work on Kalshi.
Kalshi is a federally regulated exchange where you trade on real world events,
not stocks.
Think questions like will inflation be higher or lower next month?
Will the Fed cut rates?
Or will your team make the playoffs?
Each market is simply a yes or no contract price between one and 99 cents.
And if you're right, it settles at a dollar.
That price is basically the crowd's probability of something happening.
So if yes is trading at 75 cents, the market is saying there's about a 75% chance that it happens.
You can use it to hedge to speculate or to put some skin in the game on what you already follow every single day.
And right now they've got a special offer.
Trade $10, get $10.
Just go to calshy.com slash rumble, deposit and place your first $10 in trades.
And CalShe will give you an extra $10 to use on the platform.
So if you've got to take, don't just post it, trade it.
Go to calshy.com slash rumble to get started today.
That's k-a-l-s-h-i.com slash rumble.
And on that note goes, the floor is yours.
Okay, let's start with Hegsef, because I think I haven't had a chance to watch the full briefing, and I will.
But I have seen a few clips.
So if you want to share my screen, he is reiterating what Trump is not willing.
He is reiterating what Trump is saying, what said on the plane.
The new Iranian regime should know that by now.
This new regime, because regime change has occurred, should be wiser than the last.
President Trump will make a deal he is willing.
And the terms of the deal are known to them.
If Iran is not willing, then the United States War Department will continue with even more intensity.
Okay.
So he's reiterating what Trump said.
He said that there's regime changes happen.
Okay, take that for whatever it is, whatever that means.
Then I want to go to this other clip where he says,
where is it right here i think this is right okay so trump said yesterday that that the opening up
a strait of hor moose actually wasn't really our problem and wasn't really our concern he's kind
of been communicating that in different ways for a while now here's he said scythe parroting that
and i think dan kane also said the same thing to address this thread of iran it's not just our
problem set going forward even though we have done the lion's share of preparation to ensure that that
straight will be will be open which is an outcome uh the the president's been very clear on as far as russia
and china to address this threat of iran yeah so he said that uh it was trump at 6 p.m yesterday and then his uh
his admin this morning saying the same thing um and then the last one i'll play of him is
this one this is an important one to keep in mind the president's been very clear on
as far as russia and china we know exactly what they're doing uh what they are or are not doing
We don't have to air publicly what all of that is.
But where necessary, we're addressing it, we're mitigating it, or we're confronting it head on.
I don't know.
Okay, so the question was, what are y'all doing about Russia and China helping Iran, which is what seems to be very clear and obvious?
And that was his response.
Now, this other clip that's going viral this morning is this one.
This is Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, probably the most respected diplomat in the world.
talking about this.
We can say that we are in the middle of reshaping of the world order
that will hopefully lead to the formation of a stable and fair multibular world.
But right now this restructuring looks more like disruption in all spheres.
And the power, the fight for power across the world is
fears and political scientists in Russia and in the world point at a whole number of manifestations
that indicate the very challenging history of today's situation.
Okay, so first HECF makes it clear that like we're very aware of what China and Russia are doing.
China and Russia have not sent their navies to the trade of Hormuz. They are not there to
to stand in direct opposition of President Trump.
They are helping Iran, though.
That's been a very clear narrative since the very beginning.
And then you have Sergei Lavrov come out and say,
we are in the middle of reshaping the world right now.
It looks like disruption, but this is actually the emergence of the multipolar world.
It's messy.
It's chaotic.
But that's what we're doing right now.
And again, this is Iran's like top ally, basically, right?
their top military ally who is ostensibly suffering in a number of ways from this war because they're losing,
potentially they're losing credibility when it comes to their power projection against the West,
the power projection against the U.S.
Their ability to protect their partners from U.S. adventurism when it comes to the military industrial complex.
And that matters when you look at all the other countries and they're willing us to sign up for the multipolar world.
order and this thing that China and Russia really have been pushing for years now.
But what's happening here, I have a whole theory that I'll lay out next, but I want to play
this clip because I've been talking about Iranian devolution for a while now, like a month
or two now.
And I haven't heard anybody else talk about it until now.
And it was on Bannon Show yesterday, this former CIA analyst, Sam Thadis,
Listen to what he says.
I'm going to play like two minutes of this.
Sam Fattis, the search for President Trump is applying the hammer constantly, but also trying to negotiate.
When you shatter, as we have, there's no doubt.
CENTCOM has shattered the regime's elite in the communications and they've cut off the internet.
You have different factions.
And you've got guys in Pakistan talking about one thing.
The Turks are talking about another.
The Saudis are talking about another.
And President Trump's trying to deal with that.
And find out who in Tehran can actually negotiate with.
Walk me through how you think this process is going.
And how can our intelligence services help the president?
Yeah.
I don't think it's going particularly well, Steve.
And I think issues.
I mean, one is what you just talked about, which is we've been gone heavy on
decapitating these guys and killing everybody.
at a senior level who puts his head up.
So there's, first of all, the question of who wants to put his head up.
And even if they trust us, maybe, do they trust the Israelis?
Because the Israelis so far have shown that the president says one thing,
and then they go out and do whatever the hell they want.
Then there's, of course, the part where they have moved to a completely decentralized command
structure, which is how they're continuing to function,
the 31 different commands that just are authorized to continue to fight on.
their own in other words we cut off the head sort of so but now you want them to act as a unified
entity the last factor i would throw out is why do they want to negotiate right now okay so again
this is the only person i've heard point this out like i haven't heard anybody else use those
exact words that they possessing well well outside of iran like the iranian people
the iran officials have the iran officials have held press conferences they were holding
press conferences in August. Al-Lavarjani publicly said we're doing this.
Well, no, Peschki, and since the war said that we have no control over,
over, you know, everything now has been decentralized and we don't have control over this.
They're doing their own things and, you know, as kind of a way to continue this operation
going. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I just mentioned that the Pakistani ambassador was on Brett
there last night and he said, he said, we don't even really know who talked to. It's hard to talk to
these guys because who's in charge, right? Which is, and so when
Amphata says 31, there's 31 leaders now.
That's a reference to the 31 governors.
There's 31 different districts in Iran, just like we have 50 states.
Each one as a governor.
And in August of last year, after the end of the 12-day war, which was ended by President
Trump, it was started by Israel, ended by Trump when he came out and said, it's over.
Operation Midnight Hammer, done.
And then Netanyahu sent more planes.
Maybe he didn't believe Trump.
And then Trump said, Netanyahu doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.
Send those planes back right now.
And him and Netanyahu had a tense narrative moment.
And then that, of course, was a pause.
We heard Joe Kent tell Tucker that they knew he was in the DNI at that point.
They knew in the Trump administration that the Israelis were coming back in the next six months and saying,
we're ready for round two.
We're going again.
But that gave Iran the chance to do devolution, devolved their government, devolved their military.
They removed the Ayatollah from the chain of command, meaning the Ayatollah doesn't matter anymore.
So again, is the Itole gay? Is he even real? Is he even alive? I mean, it doesn't matter because he doesn't have any power. And then they tore down the entire infrastructure, the hierarchy of the IRGC, their intel and their military chain of command. Because as Ali Largiani explained, he said, we're concerned that Mossad has infiltrated us and that we can't trust people. So we're tearing the whole thing down and we're going to rebuild it from
scratch. But for now, we have this thing called the defense counsel, which was put in the
Constitution back in the 80s during the Iraq War, the Iraq-Iran War, and we're finally
implementing it. And now all the governors, they now have all the authority to move forward. They
can engage in bilateral trade deals. They can engage in bartering, like whatever they have to do.
Because the three reasons they gave again was they were worried that there was going to be
a decapitation event, that all the leadership was going to be killed. That was the whole reason
they put it in the Constitution back during the Iraq War. They were worried the Sunami
who saying was going to kill everybody in the leadership.
The second reason is that they were worried that Mossad had infiltrated their,
and that they needed to tear that whole thing down,
which is, again, I think Soleimani was Mossad.
And then three, they said they were worried about the West hyperinflating the Rial, their currency.
And so they wanted to give the governors the ability to maneuver around that and navigate
around a potential hyper currency or hyperinflation situation, which did happen in December to January.
And Scott Besson admitted, yeah, that was us.
We did that on purpose.
So again, that all happens.
We then get the riots of New Year's around New Year's after Maduro gets arrested.
And then that all gets thwarted.
It all gets thwarted by these security services.
They cut off the heads of these people, like figuratively, maybe literally, who knows?
But they were all like Mossad CIA.
That was Pompeo saying.
it was the Israelis saying it. Mark Levin, they were like, yeah, these are all like Mossad guys
who were leading this thing. That gets thwarted, which is why there's not going to be a regime
change. Like, there's not going to be a color revolution now. Like, there's not going to be an
uprising against the government by the people because that was all thwarted. And now we have
this warfare, this conflict between Iran and really it's against Israel. And Israel is getting
rocked right now. I've been covering on my shows for the past week that all of the rhetoric that's
being put out by local politicians who are going on television, like in tears, because their towns
are being destroyed by Hezbollah. When the IDF is can't fight them, you saw Zemir, the IDF chief
of staff, come out and say that the IDF was about to collapse. I don't know if you and Zach
covered that yesterday, but they were like on the brink of collapse because they're being stretched
too thin and too dependent on the reservists. They don't have enough full-time soldiers in their army,
and they're being deployed now to Lebanon. Lebanon is now formally being annexed as a buffer zone,
which means that they're expelling all Lebanese people from everything south of the Latani River,
and they're saying that any structure is going to be destroyed because they're worried that Hezbo is going to use it as a defensive fortification.
So they're going to destroy every single building in southern Lebanon and expel all people north of the Latani River,
and it's going to be a buffer zone between Israel and Lebanon.
But that just means the Israeli settlers come in and build their chancy towns.
immediately. So we've seen this story before. So again, like the empire is growing, the Israeli
empire is growing. Iran is pummeling them with missiles now. That is not even being mentioned by
President Trump. President Trump is totally ignoring that situation. And my theory, generally speaking,
is that a war is being waged not only against Israel, but also against the banking system,
which is in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the UAE. The UAE is being bombed as well, by the way.
And Bannon has now been coming out for the past couple of days and saying, we need to seize all the assets of all these people who have their, all these criminals, including the Iranians, who have their assets hidden in Dubai.
Because Dubai and Abu Dhabi are like the Switzerland of the Middle East.
It's where people keep all their assets.
It's like a big banon calls the Pirates Cove of the Middle East.
It's where all the criminals and the crooks keep their stuff.
And by the way, you know who else said that?
Gustavo Petro, when he said, we need to go after the banker.
is the cities he've listed he's he named Miami he named Madrid and he named Dubai he said those are the
three places that you're going to find these cartels these cartel banks is Dubai so um
ban in saying there's like a trillion dollars worth of assets that they that need to be seized by the way
a month ago uh there was a story about this where the UAE actually said they're considering
doing that they're actually going to go after these assets and they're probably
are going to seize them. So that seems to be what's happening. And I think that Iran is the proxy
that is waging this war on behalf of Trump. That sounds insane to a lot of people. I think a lot of people
look at it and like there's just no way that's what's happening. Like of all the things that are
happening, there's no way that that's the explanation. And my response to that is that's exactly
why that is the best strategy is because it's the least likely. It's a strategy that nobody would
expect. And if you were to, I mean, there's an infinite number of ways that this thing could be
actually playing out and happening. But if you were to just consolidate it to a hundred,
a hundred different possible explanations for what we're watching, 50 of them are,
Trump and Israel are actually taking on Iran. That's like the surface level optics are what they
are. And then 50 of them, of these possible explanations, are Trump and Iran working together
against whoever it is, whether it's the bankers in Dubai or Israel or the deep state or
whatever it is. Basically, what everyone's doing is they're discounting 50%, like half of the
explanations and saying there's no way it's any of those. It's got to be one of these. And even the
analyst, the earnest MAGA analyst coming on to like Bannon Show and people who I think really
do truly support President Trump, their analysis is that President Trump has made a mistake.
And there's been a miscalculation. There's been a trick has been played on Trump. He has trusted
to the wrong people. He's jumped into something without understanding it. We now need to back
pedal out of this thing because this is going downhill really, really quickly. And I just don't
for a second believe that. I don't for a second believe that President Trump has been fooled or
he's been tricked or he's been misled or he's, this is political miscalculation or any of that.
But I do agree with the analysis that surface level. It looks that way. It looks that like
the price of oil is going up. It looks like it's going to go a lot higher soon.
Optically, President Trump is seeking a off ramp.
He's talking about how the Strait of Hormuzza isn't even really a priority for us.
Maybe we'll just walk away entirely and let somebody else deal with it.
And meanwhile, Israel is being pummeled by missiles and nobody's talking about that.
So again, just trying to wrap my head around what is the most plausible explanation for what we're actually watching.
the idea that on some level, President Trump is working with China and Russia and by extension,
Iran to reshape the world, as Lavrov just said, and this is going to cause disruption,
this is going to cause chaos, and this is going to cause confusion.
And you know which entities are going to be the most freaked out by this and the most panic-stricken
and the most like, oh my God, I can't believe this is happening.
The MSM, the establishment, the bankers, like all the people who are now screaming like red light,
red light, red light, those are the people who are basically going to suffer the most of the
most in a disruptive reshaping of the world. And so I'm encouraged by what I'm seeing as like
scary as some of it appears. I don't think that the official narrative we're being told is actually
what's happening. It's got to be something different. And I also don't believe that President
Trump has been fooled, misled, tricked, or made a mistake. And when he comes out and he says stuff
like he spoke at the Saudi Investment Forum, the FII in Miami on Friday the second time of the year he's
spoken there. This is like the PIF and MBS hosting an investment forum, like the World Economic
Forum kind of for investors in Miami. And Trump got up and like his opening statement was,
you can ask me whatever you want. We can talk about sex. You want to talk about sex. I talk about sex.
Like literally it's what he said. I'm quoting him word for word. That's what he said. And then he said,
you know, I never like I bet you that MBS never thought he would be kissing my ass the way he is.
He thought I was going to come in and just be like every other president and just be a loser. And like,
you know, he'd be like, yeah, whatever, we're not going to do like, whatever. We'll sell you oil, but we're not going to. He's kissing my ass now. He never thought how like great I would be to him. And everyone's like, oh my God, Trump is like belittling the Saudi crown prince. This guy who's going to invest trillions of dollars in the U.S. economy. Trump only speaks about that, speaks that way about the crown prince is if they are like bros. That's the way that you would speak to your marine buddies. That's the way that we talk to each other at Badlands. You don't talk that way about someone who you're like a business acquaintance with. And Trump is smart enough to know.
know that. You only speak that way about someone if they're like a dear friend that you can
rib like that in public and they're not going to take it the wrong way. They're not going to be
like personally insulted and say, you know what? I'm not investing trillions of dollars in your
economy anymore because you just personally insulted me and by extension my entire kingdom.
But again, I think there is so much like chaos and disruption like narratively that Trump is
laying out there, confusion he's sewing where nobody can really get their arms around.
what is actually happening.
They can only guess and they can only predict.
And the one thing that I haven't seen anybody consider
is the idea that Trump's actually working with Iran
in some capacity and is allowing them basically
to pummel certain places in the Middle East,
namely Israel, but also parts of the UAE, et cetera.
And I'll land it, well, I don't know if I'm going to land it here,
but I'll land this rant here.
Let's go back to the press release of May 15, 2018.
was one week after May 8th, 2018, was when President Trump formally pulled out of the
Obama nuclear deal, right?
The Iran nuclear deal.
So one week later, U.S. Department of Treasury press release, Treasury targets Iran's
central bank governor and Iraqi bank moving millions of dollars for the IRGC Cuds force.
That's Soleimani's team.
And if you scroll down here, it says right here, today's action cuts off Iran's use of a critical banking network and follows last Thursday's disruption of an IRGQF associated currency exchange network procuring millions of dollars through the UAE.
This is 2018, calling out the UAE and saying the UAE says both actions seek to stifle Iran's ability to abuse the U.S. and regional financial systems.
And so what they're accusing this guy, Saif, who was the governor of this bank of doing, is laundering hundreds of billions of millions of dollars through these banks in Iraq and the UAE.
And I went and looked it up.
And these actions are basically happening in such a way that the people running the UAE wouldn't be able to stop it.
This is all happening like this is advanced money laundering.
So it's not like the UAE like NVZ and these guys who are running the UAE are like in on it necessarily.
these are corporate banks these are like independent institutions some of them are
Islamic banks by the way operating under Islamic Sharia law where they don't they
don't have usury they don't do it like interest but they have other other rules that
normal banks don't follow so there this is a very complicated sticky
situation but if you look at this can con May 18th you then jump forward to you then
jump forward to August 6th.
And this is from Reuters, Iran arrests,
I think I pulled up the wrong one, this one, August 12th,
2018, Iran arrests six, this is three months later,
Iran arrests 67 people for suspected financial crimes.
One of the people arrested, by the way,
was the vice president of the central bank.
That was the nephew of the current foreign minister,
Arakchi.
He is later sentenced to eight years in prison.
They're accused of,
laundering dollars, specifically $160 billion U.S. cash and 20 billion euros cash.
And here is the subsequent reporting October 2021, former Iranian central bank chief sentenced to 10 years on corruption charges.
Now this is Saif.
And so there's, I went and looked.
There's no official announcement of this guy being arrested.
But I went and looked at the details.
And apparently in Iran, you don't have to have a formal announcement.
of arrest. In fact, they said because this was a high-ranking official, they would have kept that part quiet. But when he gets sentenced to 10 years in prison for mismanagement of dollars, and here's the report, state TV said Saif and one of his deputies, Ahmad Arakchi, who was sentenced to eight years in jail, had provided, quote, illegal conditions for the mismanagement of about 160 million USD and 20 million euros. I'm sorry, I think I said billion, but I'm saying million. Billion was a misstatement. Because remember, what did the
Obama do as part of the deal. He sent $40 million U.S. right? And then 40 million, it was four,
I'm sorry, 400 million dollars U.S. and 40 million euros under the cover of darkness. That was what
the report was. And then Trump comes out and sanctions Saif, the governor, and says, this guy is no good.
This guy is laundering money. Two months later, July, they remove him from that position. He's no longer
of the governor of the bank.
A month later, his vice president and 67 underlings and like traders and stuff
and financiers and Iran get rounded up for doing this stuff, the exact same thing that Trump
is accusing him doing.
And then two years later, three years later, we get an official report that Saif,
Arakchi, and a number of other people have been sentenced to like 8, 10, 12, 13 years in prison
depending on who you're looking at for the exact same thing that Trump was accusing him
doing before any of this happened.
This to me feels like coordination.
This to me feels like the Trump administration and Iran were working together to bring down a network that Obama had sent hundreds of millions of dollars to that were then being laundered through Iraqi banks and UAE banks.
And we're ultimately landing probably, I mean, according to Trump, he's saying this, in terrorist organization bank accounts.
So the Obama administration gives money to the central bank of Iran.
The central bank of Iran gives it to bankers in the Middle East.
the bankers in the Middle East give it to the terrorists, right?
We have now funded terrorism directly.
And then we accuse Iran of being the number one state funder of terrorism.
But wait a minute, if that cash came from U.S. banks in Maryland and Virginia,
that's what Trump just said like a month ago.
He said that Obama emptied out every single bank in Virginia and Maryland to pay that,
to send that money under the cover of darkness.
That means we funded terrorism.
And by the way, Joe Kent just did an interview on Friday where he said that,
we were directly like the U.S., the CIA was directly working with Assad, with al-Qaeda and ISIS to take down Assad.
So it's like all the signals are lining up that Trump and Iran were working together to take down this network that included U.S. officials, Iranian officials, terrorist organizations.
And that was during the first Trump administration.
Now what we're watching, it doesn't make sense to me.
If that's true, it doesn't make sense to me that now they're like fighting a war against one another.
That doesn't make any sense.
And it also doesn't make sense that Trump was misled and doing this.
And now he's made a huge mistake and this is going to cost his whole legacy.
And it's all over.
Don't buy that either.
So the alternative theory is that he is still working with these people against the same financiers that they were going after in this operation, which include UAE banks.
But also a side effect of this or maybe the main intended effect is Israel just getting pummeled and the IDF collapsing as Netanyahu is trying to build.
build out the greater Israel Empire.
And then his military force is collapsing underneath him.
And the whole thing, I think, just comes to a grinding halt.
And we're probably going to see, in my opinion, Israel had to surrender to Iran in order to
mitigate all this.
To me, that ends this entire story.
And that basically brings peace to the Middle East.
I don't know what ends up happening with Israel.
I don't know what ends up happening with Iran.
I don't know what ends up happening with the region.
but the story has been run out.
The plot line has been brought to full resolution at that point.
And we can't then go back and restart the Greater Israel Project,
which I think was going to happen in 2026 or 2036 or 2046.
In 20 years from now, you're not going to have President Trump.
You're not going to have Putin.
You're not going to have Xi.
So you might as well warp speed this thing.
Bring it all the way up to right now and force it to happen in a very condensed timetable
under control conditions where all the players involved are actually speaking to one another behind the scenes.
And a lot of this stuff you're seeing is just performative like soap opera, WrestleMania stuff.
Did you see Trump's two truth social posts from this morning?
I did not.
Hold on.
See.
All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because of Estrada Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you.
Number one, buy from the U.S. We have plenty. Number two, build up some delayed courage, go to the street and just take it.
You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself. The USA won't be there to help you anymore.
Just like you weren't there for us. Iran has been essentially decimated. The hard part is done.
Go get your own oil, President DJT.
Okay, so again, hold on, that's not it. That's not it. All right, let's see it.
Hold on. This one's very interesting.
country of france wouldn't let planes headed to israel loaded up with military supplies fly over
french territory france has been very unhelpful with respect to the butcher of iran who has been
successfully eliminated the u.s.a will remember president dj t now the france one's interesting
because the butcher of iran is referring to ibrahim rasei yeah and he's been dead since
that's a really really interesting point that is a really interesting point and by the way
netting yahoo is calling now for he's like hey in order to like eliminate the need for the trade of
or moose why don't we just all run our pipelines to haifa right all the pipelines in the middle
east just come to haifa and then we can just unload the oil in israel and that can back
Israel can basically become the world supplier of oil that would shift the entire persian gulf
oil industry to israel right
And then they could have refineries and they yeah, that would make Israel the superpower of the Middle East, by the way.
That's what he wants to happen.
So that's what I think his endgame is.
At the same time, the president of Syria is offering, was in Europe yesterday offering the exact same thing.
He's like, hey, right.
Like we already have most of the pipelines from Iraq coming to us.
Why don't we just bring all the pipelines from the Persian Gulf to Syria?
And then we can become your, your steward of, you know, the center of, of, of, um,
of oil in the Middle East for the Mediterranean, at least,
at least for Europe.
Yes, that's an interesting competition that's happening right there.
But I go back to the metaphor that Firmot Kwasse is used at the very beginning of all this at that Gart.
Or he said that geopolitics is the playground where the children all meet.
And I think that is such a spot-on way of looking at it,
that all these children are very unique and they all have their own personalities
and they're just trying to figure out how to get along.
But if you have like a small kid who has an older brother,
brother who's very strong that nobody wants to mess with and that kid and that older brother's mom is
making him protect the kid at all costs if anyone messes with him after years and years and years
that kid that little kid is going to walk around and own the playground and start bullying everybody
else and that little kid becomes the bully uh to the extent that maybe the other kids in the
playground don't even want to play with the older brother anymore because he's ostracized just like
the little brother is how would the older brother mitigate that i mean i would think that a potential
ploy could be going to one of these other kids that are that's getting bullied and being
like, hey, I can't help you fight my little brother and I can't step aside because my mom's
going to get mad at me if I do.
How about this?
Next time he picks on you, you stand up to him.
I'll intervene.
You knock me out.
I'll go down and then you teach my little brother a lesson.
And that way I can tell my mom that I stood up from my little brother.
I got knocked out and then you give him a nice little ass whoopin.
And maybe he'll stop messing with you after that because that's really how kids resolve problems.
If one kid becomes a bully, sooner or later, he's going to bully the wrong kid and he's going to get punched in the mouth.
So that's kind of how I see this happening because Trump can't come out and say Israel is a problem because if he does, the Christian Zionists will crucify it.
Like the Christian Zionists will, their heads will explode, right?
And maybe even the Israeli diaspora might even bring down the banking system, bring down the financial system.
I mean, there are all kinds of things that I think these people could do to us.
the Israel lobby could do to us, could do to President Trump maybe personally, that you would have to be a little more deceptive in how you go about this.
And so President Trump coming out and acting like he is Israel's champion while Israel is getting the shit kicked out of it by Iran.
That's, I think, a pretty compelling way to look at it.
So check this out.
In addition to literally, you know, calling out France, and I don't know what that was, talking about the butcher of Iran, right?
You see being dead, you know, in what was it, 2022 when his helicopter was?
went down, 23, whatever the case might be. But then the, you know, going after the UK saying,
hey, defend it yourself, we're not going to be there to protect you anymore. We're, you know,
essentially sounds like he's saying NATO's on the fritz. This he posted after, after he posted that
shot at the UK, Malani and I are pleased to announce that their majesties, the king and queen of the
UK will visit the United States for a historic state visit April 27th and the 30th, which will include
a beautiful banquet dinner at the White House on the evening of April 28th.
The momentous occasion will be even more special this year as we commemorate the 250th
anniversary of our great country.
I look forward to spending time with the king whom I greatly respect it will be terrific.
So he takes shots at the UK.
We're not going to be there for you anymore.
Go down to the straight, defend it yourself, get your own oil or buy it from us.
And oh, by the way, welcome to the state dinner that you're going to be at in next month or
this month.
Yeah.
Well, the other thing is Pete Heggseth was.
I did see a clip where P. Heggseth was like NATO is useless.
Like NATO is not helping us like like F NATO basically.
I think that I think that there's a lot of side effects that are going to come out of this.
One of them is NATO being basically dissolved.
I could also see a situation where Trump and Putin speak and Putin is like, look, I'll deal with Iran.
They're my guys.
Let me deal with them.
You deal with Ukraine though because Ukraine is like those are your guys.
Well, this would be the realigning of the multipolar world like Lavrov said in the in the video earlier.
European Union, EU, NATO, or you know, NATO countries, because outside of the United States,
figure it out on your own, man.
You guys, that's your region.
You guys figure it out.
You can buy oil from us or you can get it from the straight of Hormuz, but if you want it from
the straight of Hormuz, you better get your ass down there and take it because we're not going to do it for you anymore.
Or don't figure it out, you know, don't figure it out and keep getting your ass kicked
and keep getting punched the little mouth.
Like keep going to the playground and running your mouth.
And guess what's going to happen?
You're going to get punched in the face.
And that's not our problem, actually, if you get punched.
punched in the face because you're being a little jackass. I will say this and Ghost and I
talked about this before the show. I got a strange message on X. I'm not going to say who it was.
Huge account. We're talking four or five million plus followers that basically was saying,
hey, President Trump, and this is a full-blown 7,000 shekels per post-aligned account,
like full-blown Israeli flags and everything else in their account. And they sent a
a DM, it's not like I'm special or anything.
They probably send it to a whole bunch of people saying,
you know,
President Trump now is looking at sending troops into Iran,
which should be a wet dream for the, you know, pro-Israel crowd, right?
Trump's sending troops into Iran.
Yes, that's what we've been wanting this whole time.
And he's like, it's a horrible idea and this will be so bad and everything else.
And now I'm kind of sitting back.
I was telling ghosts.
I'm like, man, I got to kind of reassess whether or not sending troops into Iran is a good thing.
Did you see what Araghi said yesterday or over the weekend on NBC?
About what being ready for troops on the ground?
Yeah, they asked him.
Are you ready?
And he's like, yeah.
And the guy's like, wait, what?
He's like, are you afraid that the US is going to send troops in?
He's like, no.
He's like, you're not afraid?
And he's like, no, we've been ready for this for a long time, blah, blah, blah.
And then he's like, so just to be clear, you're not afraid of US military troops on the ground.
He's like, no, but what I mean by that is it's not a continuation of the war.
And I'm like, that's an escalation of the war.
of the war unless there's another reason for the troops to go in there is it to secure facilities
and you know as the changeover occurs so that iran can actually get their new government in place i
don't know i don't know yeah but yeah but now that you have one of these huge accounts incredibly
pro-zionist regime telling me that ground troops going into iran is a horrible idea it's like that
that is counterintuitive to their entire 100 percent 100 and again when i mentioned earlier the
50 different possibilities and I'm just using 50 as a number but the infinite number of possibilities
that could be that could be trump and iran working together what does it actually look like one of
those possibilities is that is that there's a bad twin evil twin in iran that needs to be dealt with
and maybe it's being dealt with right now right maybe it's two different bad guys being like
pricked into bombing the shit out of each other for a net positive for the world it could be that
too uh that specific situation that you described to me as i said to you before the show
I view that as the enemy, even like Mossad, understanding that the wedge issue to separate Trump from the base is to exploit this idea that Trump is basically a fool who has wandered into something he doesn't understand and is making political miscalculation after political miscalculation and that they're going to exploit that even to the detriment of the Israeli war effort. And they're going to say Trump's an idiot. Trump should have never done this. Trump shouldn't be doing this. Trump shouldn't be sending boots on. I mean, I agree. Boots on the ground in Iran sounds terrible. It sounds like a rack.
2.0 all over again.
Absolutely.
Could be what you're saying.
I'm like I'm not against that possibility.
But I would not put it past Mossad to basically be like this toll war was a disaster.
Trump should have never done it.
I can't believe he did it.
Especially if you go back to Trump's first take on it, which was I for maybe I forced Israel into this.
Maybe I took the lead, pushed them into the end of the, into the, you know, the fighting cage.
I've been locked the door and I locked him in there with a with an animal that is.
just ripping them apart right now and they're like i can't believe trump could do this what an idiot
why did he force us into this war that's a possibility yeah all right stay tuned guys you're doing

Yeah, I mean, Trump literally said the military is building an enormous complex underneath this thing.
Yeah. It's a beautiful monument.
Until a lawsuit filed.
It's a beautiful monument. I mean, it looks like the pantheon. I mean, it's a beautiful, uh, uh,
it's a, it's a, uh, yeah, it's a beautiful monument. And, um, but Trump said there's a massive military complex going in underneath.
And yeah, I mean, that's probably has something to do with, uh, uh,
but the generation warfare, I would assume.
Remember when Obama left the White House and then rented or bought a home in D.C.
and had like millions of pounds of wires and fiber optics and everything put into it all under secrecy?
Trump's just like, I'm going to do it right under the White House when I leave.
I'm going to my little command center right under the White House.
All right. Simple Sam 1779.
You need to add to your analysis that he might be an idiot.
I don't know.
I mean, I mean, okay, but I've been studying this guy every day for the past 11 years.
I've been studying him closely.
And while he's human, so he's not perfect.
I mean, of course.
He is, even his enemies describe him as like a political genius.
Even the people on the MSM recognize that Trump is a political genius.
Love him or hate him, he has been able to read the tea leaves and has his finger on the pulse of what the country actually thinks.
and if your assertion is that he just has been he's been this good up until now but now has just done the one thing that he's always said would be a massive mistake which is a big war with Iran that could lead to World War III I just don't think he was misled into that I'm open to alternative explanations but the idea that he just like is an idiot and was tricked him to doing this just doesn't track with everything else that that I've that I've discerned so the problem is goes is you get emotional reactions like that and I'm not
saying that Simple Sam is not is having an emotional reaction but the the general consensus when I
see people reacting like that is it's nothing more than an emotional reaction and they don't actually
have the intelligence to think about strategy to think about the big picture and I'm again I'm not
saying Simple Sam is is in this boat but that's what I've gathered from people when I talk to them about
this like you bring up the the Donroe doctrine the national security assessment that they put out
you bring up what Putin and Lavrov just said right there.
They have no conception of these things.
And you cannot form a logical, valid opinion about what's actually going on unless you have the context of these things.
And they don't have that context.
And so without that context, you can't form a logical opinion about it.
But he's right, though, that, like, objectively, we should maintain, like, all possibilities.
Sure.
But how much weight do you put on it?
I mean, I put, like, the smallest fraction of a percent.
on that being like the likely explanation doesn't mean i mean i'm not going to say it's 100%
possible but it just seems extremely unlikely and these other alternative ideas just explain
everything much more cleanly than you know he's just stumbling into this and this is the end of
trump the end of maga the end of the populist uh revolt against the deep state i just don't believe
that for a second agreed and then simple sam says so trump starts the fight chickens out and then
needs others to clean up his mess clearly it's election fraud that will cost the geopia no
November and not this.
