Badlands Media - Badlands Daily: 4/3/26 - Court Wars, Trump Cases, Judicial Power Grab
Episode Date: April 3, 2026CannCon and Chris Paul break down the intensifying legal battles surrounding Trump and the broader implications for executive power. With courts issuing sweeping nationwide injunctions, the hosts ques...tion whether the judiciary has crossed into overt political territory. The discussion highlights how legal actions are framed in the media, often shaping public perception before facts fully emerge. They explore the idea of lawfare, where legal systems are used as political weapons, and how this impacts both governance and public trust. The episode also dives into election-related narratives, examining claims of interference and how legal decisions may influence future elections. Throughout the conversation, deeper concerns emerge about institutional control, the role of unelected power structures, and whether the balance between branches of government is breaking down.

All right, good morning, Badlandia.
Welcome to Badlands Daily.

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. So the big news yesterday, dead wrong on this. I didn't think this was going to happen. I thought it was rumors and speculation. But Pam Bondi is out as Attorney General, President Trump truth, this out. Pam Bondi is a great American patriot and a loyal friend who faithfully served as my attorney general over the past year. Pam did a tremendous job overseeing a massive crackdown in crime across the country with murders plummeting to their lowest level since 1900. We love Pam.
And she will be transitioning to a much needed and important new job in the private sector to be announced at a date and time in the near future.
And our deputy attorney general and a very talented and respected legal mind, Todd Blanche, will step in to serve as acting attorney general.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
Now, I mean, yesterday, Alfa and I were talking about this.
I did not think it was going to happen.
I thought, you know, there's a lot of things that we're not going to be.
privy to that may be taking place behind the scenes, but could this be acknowledgement that
it's not happening? Maybe. There's also another resignation that took place yesterday that was a
little bit insightful. We'll get to that in a minute here, but I could this be acknowledgement
that what's not happening? That I kind of, this person resigned and said basically that you
cannot fix the DOJ from inside of the DOJ. Okay.
And so, you know, again, I don't know if that was something that was deliberate, you know,
if it was timed specifically around Bondi's resignation or what.
But we'll get into that for sure.
Let's play this clip.
Peter Ducey at the White House was apparently talking to President Trump.
And here we go.
Let's play this clip.
Kaylee, I just got off the phone with President Trump.
We have a big scoop.
Pam Bondi will soon leave her job as the end.
attorney general. She is going to get a different job within the administration. It doesn't sound
like there is any bad blood between her and President Trump, but it does seem like they want her to go
and do something else. And in an interim role, she will be replaced by Todd Blanche, who is currently
her deputy at the Justice Department. So it doesn't sound like Blanche is being elevated long term
to the attorney general. There might be somebody else that the president wants to go in there. But
President Trump soon will announce to the entire world that it is the end of Pam Bondi's time as the
Attorney General. He still thinks that she is a great person and that she did a good job. And he still
wants her in the fold because she will still be an important part of the administration,
he tells me, but no longer as the top law enforcement officer of the United States.
That at least for a little while is going to be Todd Blanche.
So did you catch that too?
Which part?
Well, you know, President Trump truths out that she's going to go work in the private sector.
But Peter Ducey reassures twice that during his conversation with Trump, President Trump said she will still have a prominent role in the administration.
And given what we saw, you know, with Christy Nome, with Mike Walls, you know, with a lot of these people, they get removed from a role.
even uh what's her name the um the new york congresswoman what was her name at least so
sphonic wasn't she like task pegged for a role and then when she couldn't get confirmed she
ended up in the u.n somewhere well well yeah the u.n was the role and then he uh withdrew the nomination
for the u.n position and that's where mike waltz got sent off to that's also like where
Nikki Haley was in the first term. And if you think about the UN, it's hard to expect them to have a
major role in like geopolitics in the future. It just seems like these international organizations
are kind of collapsing, crumbling, being replaced. Who knows, maybe that's what the Board of Peace
is. But yeah, I take your point. He's moved some pieces around and he, you know, maybe that's a way
of just escaping the conversation about what the person did to warrant their removal, whether
they messed up in some way, whether there is some controversy that is being kind of suppressed.
And there's all sorts of those theories flying around yesterday that, you know, of course,
this has something to do with Epstein.
And then people freak out about Blanche being put in there because they're not very happy
with Blanche regarding Epstein.
And we've kind of seen these things happen a number of times now.
Well, I'm really curious to see what the role is now because, I mean, Ducey was on the phone, allegedly.
I mean, he says he was with Trump.
I would assume he was.
He's one of Trump's more favorable reporters in the press pool or the ones that he has more, you know, likeness.
He likes them a little bit more than the others.
And so when, when Ducey says that she's going to have another role and then you hear, you know, both Trump and Bondi,
and we'll get into Bondi's statement here in a second.
and both say that she's going to a private role.
I, you know, I think back to a lot of the stuff President Trump did in the beginning of this,
when he had a bunch of these, you know, lawfare law firms capitulate to him
and essentially agree to offer legal services for the administration and, you know,
those kinds of things.
I wonder if it's going to be a role in that form.
I mean, all we can do is speculate at this point.
Sure.
And, you know, just with Peter Deucy's comment, it could just be that he misheard or misunderstood the president.
If he said she's going to still be helping us, he could have taken that to mean in the administration.
Yeah, and so that's actually a good way to jump into her statement because Pam Bondi says some interesting things.
Over the next month, I will be working tirelessly to transition the office to Todd Blanche before moving to an important private sector role that I'm thrilled about and where I'll continue fighting for President Trump and this administration, leading President Trump's historic and highly successful efforts to make America.
safer, more secure has been the honor of a lifetime and easily the most consequential first
year of the DOJ in American history. Since February 2025, we've secured the lowest murder rate
in 125 years and all the stuff we already read right there. But she's acknowledging that,
you know, she's still going to go to the private sector, work for the, work for fighting for the
Trump administration, doesn't directly say work for. Yeah. So, I mean, it's kind of interesting.
we'll sit back and watch and see what happens.
You know, Jeff Sessions, the first attorney general, was out before the two-year mark.
I think he lasted like a year, a little over a year and a half, I want to say.
Bondi just made it over a year.
There is no denying what we're told she did on crime rates.
You know, the D.C. crackdown, you know, Memphis, obviously, some of the other, you know, states that they had these FBI crackdowns on.
maybe that was her job.
Maybe her job was to come in and actually do the crime work.
And now from here, maybe we get the transition.
I don't know.
Yeah, I mean, we can only speculate about those things at this point.
I don't think, you know, my position is that there shouldn't be a body of federal criminal law to be prosecuting in the first place.
And the idea that the federal government is prosecuting civil law seems ridiculous as well.
So I would want the DOJ scaled back, if not.
totally removed that's my preference so to think that there's going to be a
perfect person put in there in regard to that I think that's not going to happen
I was struck yesterday by the fact that there's a paid coordinated messaging
op to support Harmeet Dylan as the next pick for Attorney General I mean that's
an influencer network putting that out there and so you know when people see this
stuff in social media it's not like
That's not an organic kind of from the ground up effort to have this amazing attorney installed.
This is someone who is on that particular team who they are trying to elevate.
And back in 2022 and 2023, Harmeet Dillon was very closely connected to that whole Ron DeSantis online Twitter op.
And I used to at that point, obviously, kind of caused trouble with these people.
And I would attract their bot swarms.
And I would find often that Harmeet Dillon was following some of those weird bot accounts with like two and three hundred followers, which I thought was extremely unusual.
And then I would see people like Thomas Massey following them as well.
And you kind of end up building out this whole network and thinking, okay, all of these guys are aligned in their support for Ron DeSantis.
and they're also following very small random bot and troll accounts that are protecting Ron DeSantis'
online message dissemination.
So something very strange is going on there.
Yeah.
I've heard Lee Zeldon also being kind of pegged as the person.
I mean, if we want to start an influence op, let's like run with somebody like maybe Sidney Powell or, you know,
I'm all for that. I'm all for that. Ed Martin would be another great one. Just, you know,
put them back in there. Matt Gates. I know a lot of people have soured on Matt Gates, but don't
care. So I think he'd be fantastic at the role. Yeah, I mean, I guess we'll see what happens.
The kind of false stories or the propaganda or the gossip, whatever you want to call it,
that's circulating around this is just nuts. Daily Mail putting this out that Pam Bondi begged
Trump not to fire her during dramatic White House shutdown, saying basically that the Daily Mail,
because that's who you run to with a story like this is the Daily Mail.
Bondi responded by pleading for President Trump to give her more time in the role,
but Trump remained firm that her time leading the agency was over.
She was unhappy and tried to change his mind, the source says now.
It goes on to say that President Trump, I guess the reason for this.
was because she leaked the information about Swalwell and Fang Fang and trying to put that report out there.
Funny how that story resurfaces again.
But yeah, it's hard to take anything that has to do with that story seriously.
Yeah, in the meantime, I'm just going to sit back and watch and see what happens.
It was pointed out in the article and also in the chat that Bondi had just gotten back from a trip to Florida
where she was doing a commercial with a football team down here over in Tampa,
not down here where I'm at.
So, yeah, but here's the story that I thought was also pretty interesting.
And I've tried to, I'm trying to get in touch with this guy to figure out if he would like to embellish or, excuse me, elaborate more on this.
Jared Wise, J-Sixer, former FBI turned J-Sixer, turned senior advisor to the working weaponization group.
He put out on X yesterday.
Today I resigned from my position at the US DOJ.
I returned to Washington to fully expose the abuses by the FBI and DOJ against J6 defendants.
But it became clear that this will only happen from outside of government.
So I left and will do so.
So bring it on.
Do so.
Please.
Let's see that.
And this is, you know, just going historically, this was a September 2025 release from Dick Durbin.
Sheldon Whitehouse and of course Adam Schiff urging the removal of WISE when he was hired as the senior advisor to Ed Martin and the weaponization working group.
So when you have Jared Wise on the same day Pam Bondi's fired coming out and saying, well, actually the day after Pam Bondi was fired, Pam Bondi saying I'm going to work in the private sector. I'm going to continue fighting for President Trump.
And then you have a senior advisor to the working weaponization group coming out and saying that you cannot cure the.
this rot, you cannot, you know, remedy this rot from inside. So I'm going to do it on the outside.
Maybe that's where Bondi's heading. I don't know. I want to know more information about that story.
Yeah, it could be. And that's one of the things about the institutions of the federal government.
You know, sometimes people get upset when you say, like, I want that institution abolished because
they think the purpose of this project is to restore faith in our institutions and make them
competent and not corrupt anymore. I don't think that that's the purpose of all this.
Trump has been tearing down our institutions for near 11 years now, certainly reputational,
if not structurally. And it seems that that is the point. And of course that's the point
because that's where the deep state resides. And it's not just that the deep state has infiltrated
the institutions. It's that the institutions are.
the deep state. That is what they are. The institutions were built so that they could be little bastions
of the deep state within the government who can exercise their influence. And because there's so many
of them that can operate in coordination, they can basically take over the government without
any accountability through elections. They can't even be fired by the elected president,
which is one of the things we've seen court battles over the course of the
you know, what is it, 14, 15 months now that this Trump term has been ongoing.
So if you can't be held accountable by the voters through elections and you can't be held
accountable by the executive you're serving under based on the laws that have been set up in
the court precedent that's been established, well, you are the deep state. The institutions are
the deep state. That's exactly what we should want to see removed. And still, people are, you know,
statists who worship the government want to see these institutions restored they like the big marble
columns they like feeling like this government's got everything under control and can solve all their
problems so i don't know we'll see where that goes i'm hoping that these institutions don't exist in a few
years yeah i'm with you i'm with you uh the rot inside of all of these institutions but especially the
doj i mean we see reports all the time about liberal lawyers that are leftovers you know the one that
prosecuted Enrique Atario and the proud boys and also went after was it what's what's her name the the
crap what's her name that um son of a bitch it's escaping me but she was the she was the prosecutor
that went after a lot of the j-sixers and also i think went after like general flint or something like
that one of the prosecutors in that case and she's still working at the doj like you know you look at
all these people and we'll get into there's some more of these stories uh you know of people that are
leftovers um but let's let's jump into this one here so staying on the firings thing the guardian trump
polled advisors about replacing tulsie gabbert as the intel chief so this is the second one there's
there's a there's a it's like chris you know they the the mainstream media they're sharks right
they smell blood in the water.
And when they smell blood in the water, they're all circling and they're just hitting at the blood, you know, the pool of blood hoping that there's something in there and they're going to get something out of it.
I mean, they're calling out Tulsi Gabbard.
They're calling out Cash Patel.
They're calling out Dan Driscoll, like all sorts of these people.
Pam Hagen's on the list.
Pete Hegseth is up there.
All of these people.
I mean, at this point, the people that aren't being called out are the people maybe we should be suspicious of.
But let's jump me this.
I don't know if I go that far.
I'm totally kidding.
Yeah, yeah.
But there is always to me, there is always a reason why they point out certain people.
They try and seed narratives and try and so discord amongst, you know, the MAGA base that, hey, the media is reporting that Trump's unhappy with this person.
So therefore, I should be unhappy with this person.
And, you know, from there, it kind of festeres into, you know, it just, it just spreads like, like a infected wound.
The Guardian says Trump pulled advisors about replacing Tulsi Gabbard privately asking Donald Trump privately asked cabinet members whether he should replace Gabbard, venting frustration that she shielded a former deputy who undercut his rationale for war with Iran, according to two people briefed on the discussions.
And the two people is interesting.
It kind of has a new meaning or context at least to me today, given one of the next stories, well, not next story.
but one of the other stories we're going to cover about canary traps in the administration.
So when you see the media put out these two sources, given the context of today,
I wonder if that's deliberate to protect their source.
You know, it's really just one person.
But to cast doubt, we're going to say it was two people.
So kind of put the administration on their heels if this is a canary trap and say,
we're going to protect our source by making up more sources to provide cover.
You know what I mean?
That makes sense?
Yes.
Yes.
absolutely I am on board with what you're saying it's also possible that there were no sources
whatsoever and that they're just making this up yeah of course we've hashed that one out many many
times you know I started thinking about that today because I mean I write for you know a national
publication and if I ever wrote an article and I was like Trump said this according to sources
I would be blasted who are your sources why are you disclosed but when the guardian or the
Washington Post or the New York Times or anybody else does it they're like oh this must
be true because the New York Times is totally a truthful outfit that would never lie to us.
Yeah, that's yeah. Well, they can't say according to a globalist Intel asset.
So or two on name sources is better than that. According to a long discussion I had with Chad GPT.
All right. All right. So getting back into this, it says asked on Sunday whether you still had confidence in
Gabbard's leadership. Trump said, yeah, sure. I mean, she's a little bit different in her thought
process than me, but that doesn't make somebody not available to serve. Trump has publicly
contradicted Gabbard after she testified to lawmakers that Iran had not decided to build a nuclear
bomb. She's wrong, Trump told reporters. And again, I just highlighted that because Pulsie Gabbert
has been kind of the, you know, the bulwark, so to speak, on keeping, not keeping, but, but
like the anti-Iran war voice in the administration.
One of the things Joe Ken has said is that all 18 of these intelligence agencies said that Iran was not actively seeking out a nuclear bomb.
And you got to wonder if D&I Gabbert is testifying to that and has said, you know, going all the way back to Midnight Hammer, she came out and said, we obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities.
Benjamin Netanyahu said that.
Trump said that.
everybody said that and she doubles down on that congressional hearing hence coming out and saying
none of the 18 intelligence agency said that they had this capability yet or or that they were working on
it so where is that information coming from i don't know to me that's a little bit concerning
yeah and i sent over uh just on the the back of the comments about whether or not their capabilities
had been destroyed uh i would guess that cnn still has this
Yes, they do. I mean, this is this I thought was incredible this morning.
Iran still has significant missile launching capabilities.
I saw that.
Despite weeks of strikes, U.S. intelligence indicates many of Iran's launchers remain.
And so then they go in to quote, unnamed intelligence sources supposedly from within the U.S. intelligence community, who I guess have perfect knowledge.
of this sort of thing. But they were basically making the case that Iran can totally still cause
massive damage with all of their missiles. And I would think that even with very few missiles,
you could probably cause significant damage. But it's just a, I took it as an example of how easily
they have traditionally been able to keep these wars going strictly through stories for as long
as they want. Like this is what convinces the country that there is still a threat,
there and that war should and could be prolonged. And we've kind of been the targets of this,
and I hesitate to call us victims of it, but we have been the targets of this kind of psychological
warfare throughout our entire lives. And here we have it on the front page. Trump has said
a number of times that their capabilities are totally destroyed. And we just have the mainstream
media arguing that he's wrong all the time on the basis of unnamed intelligence officials.
There has been a, so going back to your point there about the intelligence official saying one thing and actions, maybe perhaps suggesting another.
When we go back to the beginning of this thing, you know, on Saturday, February 28th when I was doing my show, I was, I jumped over to RT because I always like to get, you know, especially when it's something like that, I like to get both sides of the stories there.
And RT, you know, had an assessment that was saying that U.S. intelligence was briefing the president that this,
is not a good idea to do this like wait wait this out you know whatever and and president trump
does it anyways now granted those are you know unnamed intelligence sources same like you're saying right
there that are putting out a narrative that contradicts the president because that's what they've done
this entire time every time president trump does something immediately there's going to be sources that
run to these media outlets and say we advise the opposite of what is being done then you know
and i've talked about this the last couple days i got a a message on x from
from a large MAGA account.
I would call them, I mean, it doesn't, he doesn't have the Israeli flag in their bio, but a, you know, they're, there, let's just put it this way.
They're a member of one of the groups that is openly paid by the Israeli lobby.
We'll just leave that.
And they're sending out, you know, podcasts talking about how sending ground troops into Iran would be a bad idea.
And I can't make sense of that in my head because, you know,
you would think that the Israeli lobby would want the U.S. sending ground troops in if the decimation of Iran is the end goal for them.
But again, are they kind of that, you know, that boogeyman that perpetuates the military industrial complex?
And that is the actual underlying goal of the Israel-Iran conflict is to create this construct of a of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a, of a.
a construct of a conflict between the two and never really solve the issue, just kind of lob bombs back and forth at the tune of $3, $4 billion a shot, you know.
Yeah, I think that what you just said is exactly right.
And I mean, this is something I think that we've maybe talked about a couple of times on this show.
I know I've talked about it with John.
The fact that ground forces don't come in or don't go in would mean that we have not secured the enriched uranium, which means that Iran.
could be said to be reconstituting their nuclear program.
And so that's one of those things that even if, even if, as you say, the ground troops there
would kind of substantiate more of a forever war, it would also take away this, this pillar
for their Iran is still a threat narrative by removing the enriched uranium.
So I would suggest that they want to make sure they can keep that for as long as possible.
Yeah, I mean, that's a good point.
And again, people think troops going in there means that, you know, storming the beaches at Normandy per se.
I mean, troops going in there could be J.Sox Special Forces going in there, securing these, you know, could be a contingent of Marines or I think the 80-second Airborne is now in that area.
And to secure this.
And if there is a regime change, if there is a new regime in place and the IRGC is decentralized,
So if they're decentralized, you can create these, you know, conflict zones where, you know, Southeast Iran might not know what northwest Iran is doing and so forth and so on if it's decentralized like that.
And perhaps there's regions that are more sympathetic to U.S. involvement than others and are willing to, you know, before this or immediately after this thing kicked off, Whitkoff came out and told Hannity that the U.S. was offering to give Iranians.
Iranium. They would have to, you know, hand over their uranium and we would give them the
uranium to power their civilian nuclear infrastructure. So, you know, again, I think President
Trump knows what he's doing and watching, you know, people that are in the know, now all
a sudden back U.S. or fight against U.S. troops that it's counterintuitive to me. Yeah.
Last thing here, rapid response 47 says from Stephen Chung, Potus has total confidence in
DNI Gabbard and any insinuation otherwise is totally fake news.
The president has assembled the most talented and impactful cabinet ever.
And they've collectively delivered historic victories on behalf of the American people.
It might be the most impactful and talented cabinet ever, but it tends to lose people pretty quick.
Yeah, I guess we'll see.
I mean, one of the theories that I was positing back in November of 2024 that people got
significantly angry at before was that these were TV characters.
They were all recruited from television.
Trump basically installed the cast of Fox News in the administration.
And now maybe all of that was because the role he saw for these cabinet members was to communicate certain things to the public.
And so that would be an entirely rational and justifiable reason to place these people in their positions.
But the idea was that anything other than these are the best, most talented people to run these organizations was scoffed at.
Well, I think that a year and a half on nearly, we can see that maybe the public communications
aspect was the point and or to be part of, you know, for Pam Bondi, it looks like maybe she got
sent through the ringer on the Epstein thing and that she was kind of just, you know, used as someone
has to deliver this terrible message to the country. It's going to be this lady and now her reputation
is destroyed to whatever degree.
But when their role as the public communications person ends, they don't really have a use
in the administration anymore if they weren't actually hired because they are the best
and most capable people.
And I don't think there is any reason to believe that they are the best and most capable
people.
So to see a bunch of them leave the administration over the next few months would not surprise me at all.
All right.
Before we get into the next round of firings, let's go ahead and hit a sponsor because they're
a lot. Can we call that? Well, you can't call it. What would it be bloody Thursday? Bloody Thursday,

Kids wouldn't be able to understand it.
No, I don't think so.
I do want to talk to you, actually.
I'm excited.
Did you check out the birthright citizenship hearing?
I sure did.
I didn't listen to all of the ACLU side of the argument.
I kind of had, I don't know, an hour and 15 minutes and I haven't gone back to it to finish it.
But yeah, I listened to all of John Sauer's argument and presentation.
The ACLU, the Wang side was the best side, man.
Was it?
There were definitely some funny things in there.
Actually, you know what?
Let me share one of these things with you.
I sent it, I posted it on Substack the other day and sent it to Ash.
but there was, and by the way, I don't mean to commandeer things here.
Oh, you're good, you're good.
Okay.
So I thought this was kind of shocking from Katanji Brown Jackson.
Sometimes they just inadvertently admit what they are, what they're doing.
And I thought this was hilarious.
I already know where you're doing.
I take Justice Alito's point, and I think he actually makes a good one in the sense that it could be that Justice Gray emphasized domicile
to help the public accept the outcome of this case.
You're suggesting that the emphasis on domicile was not a part of the rule,
meaning he wasn't saying you had to be like a foreigner who is doing everything they can
and who can't be naturalized.
But he might have emphasized those facts in this case precisely because Chinese immigrants were unwanted,
precisely because he had to get this out into the public,
and people were going to say, whoa, you're saying these people have to this,
this baby has to be a citizen.
And so one could imagine that it was important from a standpoint of helping people
accept this citizen rule under these circumstances to emphasize that these particular people
in this case were in Justice Alito's first category.
So, sorry, I just was checking the chat for a second and got off track there.
Anyway, she's making the point that this court precedent that they are referring
back to from the 1890s may have been written words in that precedent may have been written terms
might have been used arguments might have been made to make a public relations case to get the
public to accept the thing that the Supreme Court was just about to opine based on reconstruction
amendments that were improperly ratified that inverted the Constitution. The Supreme Court was
making a public relations case on why it was okay for them to overturn the original meaning
of the Constitution relative to domicile. And it's funny because the Supreme Court essentially
relies on all of this statutory law that has burst forth from the Reconstruction Amendments.
And they do all of this based on court precedent. And she is saying that court precedent
can be written for public relations concerns.
And they make semantic arguments about the precedent.
That's all they really argue in these Supreme Court hearings.
It's very rarely directed toward the original intent and meaning of the Constitution,
which is the only thing that should matter.
And they're primarily arguing about interpretations of statutory law based on semantics.
And now Kataji Brown Jackson, an alleged Supreme Court justice,
is stating that the semantics of the court precedent were written specifically for public relations
to convince the public that what the Supreme Court was doing was good. That's crazy.
Yeah, I agree with you. I had a clip here, and this isn't from the hearing. This is Jonathan Turley
making the same point Alpha and I made yesterday. This is bringing up maybe the most
notable comment the whole time. Was it Roberts that said New World, same constitution?
Yes.
Yeah, and, you know, he's 100% right about that.
He is.
Except the Constitution he's referring to isn't the original Constitution.
And that's what makes this stuff so crazy.
The reconstruction inverted the original intent and meaning of the Constitution.
We don't live under the Constitution.
For all intents and purposes, we do not live under the Constitution.
The form of our government is a mockery of.
the Constitution meant to resemble it closely enough that no one is going to ask questions,
but we don't live under the original Constitution. It should actually be what John Roberts is saying,
where all of these cases come up. We're not talking about court precedent. We're not talking about
any of that stuff. We're talking about original intent and whether or not the issue at hands
comports with that original intent and the original meaning of the text. So yeah, we were, you know,
I wrote an article that's on the substack last fall.
called Turtles All the Way Down about how our legal system essentially exists on a foundation of nothing.
And I would encourage people to go back and read that.
I'm your moderator.substack.com.
But yeah, you can strip away these layers and find there's legitimately nothing there.
So let's play this clip here because Turley makes the same point that me and Alpha made yesterday.
You're perfectly correct.
I mean, the fact that we are one of the few countries that,
continues to embrace birthright citizenship is perfectly insane. And it is a great danger to this
government and to this republic. So the question for these justices is not necessarily they agree with
birthright citizenship. I expect the majority does not. But this is what I call my Supreme
Court class a default case. It's when the record is messy. Where do the justices run home to?
And what was really astonishing yesterday is it appeared that we might have nine originalists on the court because the liberal justices started to channel Scalia and to say, oh, you know, we've got to stick with the original intent here.
These are justices when they look at other rights like the Second Amendment, treat that language as barely a speed bump.
And they say, well, we have to look at this living constitution and the problems we're facing today.
Well, the problems we're facing today on birthright citizenship are existential in my view.
But conservatives tend to be, well, conservative.
So when their default is that they don't read much into the language, and they seem to be going back to the precedent here.
So the case Turley's making there is that, you know, you say New World, same constitution.
However, when you look at the Second Amendment, and this is something Alfa and I specifically talked
about they're all about interpreting the second amendment however they want given today's standards same
with the first amendment to an extent you know you often hear especially liberals make the argument
well our founding fathers could never have you know foreseen the the invention of the internet or the
cell phone the cell phone same thing with the second amendment they could never have seen the
invention of the machine gun or the uh you know the nuclear bomb alleged nuclear bomb but what what
what robert says right there is new world same constitution is implying that it doesn't matter
that the world has evolved the constitution a living document evolves as well however there's been no
change to those the bill of rights i'm not talking about the you know the everything after the 10th
amendment but to the bill of rights itself i'm speaking directly to that if if if it's a new world with
a living breathing constitution one that's able to be you know amended amended but they can't because they don't
anything for that and so therefore the interpretation is going back to bruin the bruin where they say
we're going to we're going to analyze the context of the amendments in the founders interpretation
historical context well historical context is plain and simple there was no limit on what you could
own in terms of weaponry you had battleships right people had ships with cannons all down the
side of them that could have went in and blown up a fort if they really wanted to or tried to
So looking at it the way Roberts defined it right there, new world same constitution, we should be allowed to have nuclear weapons.
But they'll use their own judgment there and say, well, a human being, a private citizen could never have a nuclear weapon.
Well, use that same kind of discernment when you're looking at things like birthright citizenship.
Well, the intent was it was for African slaves.
It was for African slaves that were brought over here and had children over here.
so they're not forced to go back or whatever the case might be.
And they become American citizens following.
Anyways, I'll land that there, getting rantey.
No, I think that that's important.
Worth noting with the Jonathan Turley bit that conservative means giving lip service to keeping the status quo in place as the status quo goes away.
So the word conservative is meaningless.
I was struck by how much of the argument the other day,
seemed like it was two pro-government parties arguing about who has the right to declare ownership over new babies that are born in this country.
Now, you know, a lot of this is treated in the public discussion, at least, and you can correct me if you're seeing something else.
But what I see is that a lot of people, it's almost like at the end of the Civil War, the government,
It's bestowed upon these slaves citizenship as like their, as some sort of restitution.
It gave them citizenship.
Well, did we have federal citizenship before that?
Because I thought it was that we were just citizens of the states.
And then we're under that federal umbrella because the states are party to that federal
constitution with a federal government that has very limited delegated responsibilities.
And by that point, of course, those had already been blown way past usurpations right on down the line, which is part of what caused the civil war.
But the birthright citizenship thing, if a child is born and the United States is like, that's my citizen, now it has to pay me tax, that doesn't seem like the right way to go about things.
And that doesn't seem like something that founders who were concerned primarily about personal liberty and not having the constant violation of natural rights projected onto the people of the nation.
That's not something that I think that they would go for.
And I don't know why we would go for it.
We don't actually have to want birthright citizenship.
You know, we can be American patriots.
We can be citizens of our states, which makes us citizens of the.
of the United States generally without wanting to sign ourselves up for this subscription
to the federal government system of laws and in return we give it without choice our money.
It's all it's all very strange.
It's so out of balance at this point that we can't even think about these things
kind of from a foundational first principles perspective without being accused of like
wanting the United States to go away. The United States is an abstract construct of these states
put together. And it's supposed to provide certain securities for the people. And that's why the
United States came into being in the first place. It's not supposed to be our parent and our ruler and the
thing that controls our lives through this elaborate system of rules and all these agencies that
just get to meddle in everything. And again, that's something that was enabled by the
reconstruction. Yep. So what's your take? What do you think's going to happen? Because I was,
I'll be honest and, you know, people might not like this. I don't know that they're going to,
I don't know that Trump's going to win that one. Yeah. And I don't think that, I don't think that
that's a problem for for Donald Trump or for the Trump administration. I think big picture,
what's going on with a lot of this litigation is that important constitutional issues are being
forced into the mainstream and in hopes that they will be addressed. I don't think that this problem
is fixable until the reconstruction amendments are overturned and we are back to the original constitution.
And I really believe that that's possible. I really believe that it's something that we should be
aiming for. And, you know, the normie out there is going to say, you want to reverse slavery. No,
I'm saying that we still have slavery and that the original constitution was supposed to be the
barrier between us and slavery and the overthrow of that constitution is what has further instilled
slavery. And I would make the same argument for the civil rights era and the civil rights
acts. So yeah, I'm not pro-slavery. I'm saying that we already have slavery. We have a slave trade
that imports foreign slaves. And then we are also tax slaves registered with government numbers.
I mean, it's it's like maddening that, uh, that this stuff has become so twisted.
I'm with you.
I'm with you.
So well said, but you'll see, I imagine if that happens.
Imagine if this does not get overturned.
It's upheld under the 14th amendment.
And the next follow up there is to appeal the relevancy, the legitimacy of the 14th
amendment and every subsequent amendment.
Uh, I could see the mainstream media.
They're trying to put black.
people back into plantations.
Women, they don't want the women to vote and all that other stuff.
It'll be one not not doing any of those things.
I'm saying abolishing all those amendments.
I'm more interested in the 16th and 17th and some other ones.
But maybe that's how Trump gets his third term.
If you abolish the 20, uh, the 25th, no, the 22nd.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I would just, I would just suggest that these are already a nullity because they're
anti-constitutional. And it is the responsibility of the people to force the government to recognize
them as such. And we're not concerned with that because we're too busy about, worried with,
we're too worried about, sorry, voting in elections and trying to win elections so that we can then
demand that people with little ours next to their name fix these problems for us, knowing that they
never will and that we have a uniburton. All right. Let's, let's go ahead and jump into our
next story here. We'll get back to some of the firings now. CBS News, Heggseth Ose, Army Chief of Staff, General Randy George.
Secretary Pete Hegeseth has asked Army Chief of Staff, Randy George, to step down and take immediate retirement.
One of the sources said Heggseth wants someone in that role who will implement President Trump and Hegsseth's vision for the Army.
So when you read that right there, Chris, you're like, oh, this guy must have been pushing back against President Trump.
You know, he's President Trump's guy, Pete Hegseth's guy, and he was pushing back and they don't like him so they just replace him.
Not exactly.
Two other army officers were removed from their role, General Dave Hodney, who led the Army's transformation training command and Major General William Green, who headed the Army's chaplain corps.
George previously served, this is going back to the chief of staff.
George previously served as the senior military assistant to Boyd Austin from 2021 to 2022.
The Army Chief of Staff typically serves a four-year term.
George was nominated for the position by Donald Trump.
No, Joe Biden and confirmed in 2023.
So that probably should have been what you led with when you say that, you know,
Trump wants to implement, he wants somebody there that's going to implement his vision for the Army.
Sure.
He's the elected president.
He's going to have wildly different views and agendas and goals than the previous administration.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Hashtag tag cog.
I want to know if Randy George was serving as sec-deaf when Lloyd Austin disappeared.
Yeah.
Oh, oh, you mean, okay, I see what you're saying.
Oh, yeah.
Do you remember that Lloyd Austin just like went off the map unexplained for
cancer treatment?
Cancer treatment.
No, that's fine.
Everybody.
Yeah, yeah.
When they give the explanation after the fact, I assume that they are lying.
they are like well don't be silly bro that's when they changed him out and now the real lloyd austin's
you got a 2.0 in there could be they changed him out i don't know man does he have like really
defined and chiseled features and a scruffy beard now because that's what they do with all the
with all the 2.0s the jd vanses and chip roy's and thomas massies of the world for the for the rest of my
For the rest of my life, the only image I will ever have of Lloyd Austin is him doing an inspection of troops with the, it was like the Korean Marines or whatever in their dress uniforms.
And he's got the mask and the face shield.
I'm all in on the COVID propaganda.
That is definitely the picture of Lloyd Austin.
That's the greatest picture ever.
Now, keep in mind just for those out there that don't know this.
Lloyd Austin literally had to have a waiver in order to serve a secdef because he was a defense contractor prior to becoming the secretary of defense.
They always want to say he was a general.
He was a general.
Yeah.
And then he went to the private sector.
And then he gets brought on as whatever.
So going back to President Trump, November 2021, when he announced he was running again.
One of the things he said closing that door between the private sector and.
public service. So general Christopher Laniv,
formerly Hegss's military aide will be the acting army chief of staff. He previously
serves as a commanding general of the army's 82nd airborne from 2022 to
2023. So on that note, I want to get into this story from the New York Post because
this story is kind of interesting. New York Post, the bizarre reason Hegsseth's right-hand man
is spreading damaging rumors about the secretary of war.
And so it says here that like there's this story with this guy, Ricky Berea,
where he told colleagues last year that him and Hegseth dawned disguises and went out on it like a bender.
I'm not kidding.
It says secretary of war,
Hegseth, top aide, Ricky Berea,
told colleagues last year that he and his boss dawned disguises and went out drinking together a juicy bit of gossip widely believed to be a lie and recklessly planted to sniff out leakers apparently they had three bottles of mccallins whiskey which that could be the leak so no i saw it reported i can't remember who i saw it might have been brianne morello i think on x that had a summary and it said that you know he apparently drank three the two of them drank three bottles of mccallins that's a nice thing
evening. That's a great evening. I mean, well, it's got to be throughout the whole evening.
And hopefully you're sharing it with more people because three bottles and McCallons between
two people that not only is that a lot of money, that's a hell of a hang over the next day.
Yeah, yeah. But those little those those seven 50s you could do it. I can't do that. I'm not,
I'm a wine drinker. I can't do liquor, man. Cannot do liquor. I wouldn't want to do that either,
although in in my earlier days I may have. I'll sip an old fashion, but that's about it.
One, maybe two, and then I'm done, cut off.
But so my point is, is like, we don't get many details on the stories that were told, but I wonder if that's the facet.
So when you tell these canary traps, you can tell a story to one person and that goes out, you know, everywhere.
And then you know who the leaker was or you tell the same story to 12 different people, but you just add a little nuanced detail in there.
Something juicy enough, like a McCallens, and I don't know what McCallens go for.
I know it's a relatively expensive whiskey.
You throw in three bottles of McCallens to one person,
and then a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue to another person.
And then, you know, maybe, what's the other one?
Whistle Pig to another.
You know, you throw that out there, and then you know,
that's not the whole takeaway from this.
It says two sources said that Berea told them separately in 2025
that he and Hague says slip past security detail
when they were staying at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Pentagon City.
So let's jump down here to the bottom.
And apparently there's some controversy around this Berea guy.
He is a Biden leftover.
Oh, he is a Biden leftover.
Holdover.
It says here, the New York Times reported last week that Berea last summer had a quote-unquote heated exchange with Army secretary Dan Driscoll, a friend and former law school classmate of Vance's over Driscoll's selection of Major General Antoinette Gant for a promotion to command of the military district of Washington.
him. Berea told Driscoll that Trump would not want to stand next to a black woman at events.
The Times reported drawing an outraged response from the army chief who told Berea, quote,
the president is not a racist or sexist, end quote.
Driscoll elevated the dispute to the White House and Gantt got the promotion.
The White House last year blocked Berea from officially becoming head says chief of staff due to concerns about his ideological alignment with the administration.
Trump ultimately relented to Hegeseth, who insisted Berea was essential and allowed his former elevation as chief of staff in December.
So Berea gets into this thing with Driscoll.
Who knows if Berea actually said what he said.
Who knows if Driscoll actually said what he said?
But it was interesting to me that Driscoll is now among those people that's being considered as being fired.
And it says here the Trump administration is weighing firing several high profile cabinet members, the Atlantic reported.
So is the leak operation Berea going to the Atlantic or was it Driscoll perhaps, maybe going to the Atlantic?
It says FBI director Cash Patel, Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez de Remmer are all reportedly up for consideration.
It's interesting that the Atlantic got that story.
The Atlantic, of course, their editor is Jeffrey Goldberg, who was the man included in the group chat during the Signalgate thing with Pete Heggseth.
So they wouldn't be the sort of outlet you would expect to be getting inside information about the Trump administration unless it was someone within the Trump administration intentionally attempting to damage the administration.
So I don't know, very strange.
But it could be the trap that you're.
discussing could be a number of other scenarios. I just think it's odd that it's them.
Yeah, I'm with you. It is strange, but it's also strange that you have this canary trap story
from the New York Post at the same time that buried all the way at the bottom, if you make it all
the way down there, that the New York Times is reporting that the Atlantic reported, that
Jay Post also reported that Dan Driscoll is one of the guys on the chopping block. So is it a
successful canary trap? Is Burrea actually a disruptor? He is a Democrat holdover.
from the Biden administration has long sought to be a high-powered Democrat politician in Florida.
So who knows, there's a lot of rot still in the bureaucracy that surrounds this administration.

Rumble for making this disruptive technology. All right. Let's go ahead and get back into
the news. We are seeing some movement very welcomeedly, the welcomeedly on the health
care fraud in California. And a Foxwood's alert, we're just learning that this morning federal law
enforcement conducting raids across Southern California targeting alleged health care fraudsters.
William LaGanesse has more from Covina, California, that's just east of L.A.
You've been on this story for a while. What happened?
Good morning, Dana. Yeah, this is the first takedown for the new White House Fraud Task Force.
They arrested two owners of two hospices here in greater Los Angeles.
They're accused of collectively stealing about $16 million from town.
You notice what you see right there, Chris?
Yeah, yeah, IRS.
Oh.
And FBI, although the FBI looks like in military gear, is that army?
Yeah, they wear the militarization, man, they wear these army fatigues now because they want to, you know, I don't know.
I mean, that IRS label is just so blatant and their faces are blocked out.
I mean, this is, let's just continue.
I'll only be annoying.
And this money was intended, right, for compassionate end of life care.
for the terminally ill.
Here's some video we shot earlier today of the FBI,
making those arrests of a husband and wife.
He had doctor, she a nurse,
co-owners of the St. Francis pallet of care.
All right, we can end that there
because I actually have the DOJ reports
and I think it does a better job at laying this story out than that.
I just thought the IRS thing was interesting.
I know where you're going to go,
and I'm with you, that the IRS should not exist.
Neither should federal income tax.
Sure.
I'm with you on that.
I also remember though the Biden administration 80,000 IRS criminal investigation agents that were on boarded.
And, you know, if if we are to believe that there was, you know, some semblance of continuity of government installed in the last regime,
is there a possibility that this is something that was put in so that it's already in place when you go after the Medicaid, Medicare fraud and all the other fraud that we're seeing now.
the resources are going to need to be up there.
J.D. Vance has been tasked with this.
And I said the day that he signed that executive order or the proposal,
whatever you want to call it, assigning J.D. Vance to this.
This is his make or break moment.
And so this, like I do actually think that we will see something out of this.
And boom, a week later, we've already got, you know, a couple, a few arrests, eight arrested.
I'll let you comment before we get into the DOJ report.
Yeah, I mean, I'm happy to see where this goes.
this feels like something that has been scripted for a long time to happen now and the fact that J.D. Vance is being put out in front of it. I don't think is much of a surprise. And, you know, the thing about that is when you get that kind of assignment, it doesn't always turn out great. I mean, you think about Kamala Harris being. Yeah. You think about Kamala Harris being appointed borders are, you know, you give them this very specific job. If Trump knows that all of this is a scripted info.
up that he has nothing to do it and we're just watching a uniparty right uh television show about how
republicans are finally going to stop all this fraud that they have overseen for decades um
it could be that jd vance just gets saddled with the failure to solve this problem
could well you think well you think it's going to be a failure i hope it's not well i mean
there there are multiple levels to this thing you know what i mean if so in general
if you have the Great Reset and the narrative that pushes the Great Reset, you can't just push that one side of things the entire time because people will be against it.
So what you do is you set up a controlled opposition that pushes different aspects and pushes back against the Great Reset narrative.
And in the conflict there, everybody remains attached to these kind of underlying foundational claims of the need for the Great Reset.
Part of the need for the Great Reset is exposing how terrible everything is and bottoming that system out so people beg for the new system.
And so you've got these two competing central narratives that are both pushing the Great Reset.
Now, Trump's outside of that.
And both of those narratives are anti-Trump ultimately because they're both pro-system.
And so, you know, the Unip Party right side of that, the pushback to the Great Reset, Trump can't oppose that whole thing because, principally, a lot of it is not.
not stuff that we actually do oppose.
It doesn't mean that he's not then trying to thwart the narrative effect of some of that stuff.
So if I'm right about that, then that side of things would be to kind of elevate this new cast of
characters that would carry the new, the newly branded, newly minted Republican movement
forward after Trump leaves.
And so I think that he's kind of heading off that stuff a lot of the time.
And so in that sense, I could see this stuff, ultimately not getting what people want to get out of it.
And I think our solution is going to come somewhere else, which is not saying we're not going to get the solution.
Interesting.
Well, I mean, that was something that me and Ash were talking about on Wednesday that, you know, we get all the foot soldiers, right?
And at some point, like, think about in the private life, you know, and I'm going to draw this similar comparison here in a second as well.
But I was watching a like a Facebook reel or something the other day.
And it's this guy that does like these like videos where he takes a video and and just from a male, an alpha male like full blown alpha male perspective criticizes it.
And it's this this kid that's handicapped and he can't speak and he's in high school or whatever.
And he comes up to another kid and holds out a card and he's asking the kid like, will you come to my birthday party?
And the kid is like, you know, the cool kid in class.
And he's like, get the F out of here and starts belittling this.
guy and the video is I'm not going to hold the kid that belittled this this this you know handicapped person
accountable I want to hold his parents accountable where you know and think of the same thing here
with the with the fraud where you have you know the foot soldiers that are out there pushing this fraud
there's never anybody above that that's held accountable eventually when the kids do something wrong
time and time again you punish the kid you know a couple times sure but eventually you have to look at
what is enabling this what is allowing this to happen and is it something in the household is it
a fundamental breakdown in the household itself. So what you're saying is that we're going to get that
low level thing here, but it's not actually going to do anything to resolve the system.
Well, when I see coordinated messaging ops around these sorts of events, and that is
absolutely what's happening. We had a coordinated messaging up for Minnesota fraud. Now we have
a coordinated, uh,
messaging up for California fraud. And so when I see that, I assume that that is part of, uh,
that level of scripting.
that i was discussing and that we are going to get a limited hangout where some of those people
directly responsible um for the nuts and bolts of the fraud are held accountable and then nobody up
the scale is held accountable we're told we're going to be given one big example of how they've
gotten some major fraud and uh we'll have that take down everybody will be like oh they saw
the fraud the same way that we think everybody's been deported because we saw um planes being
stuffed with Latin gangsters and we were told that they were flown down to Sikot, you know.
And so we think that the deportation thing has been solved.
All of these examples are coordinated messaging ops.
You can see the photo shoots that coincide with them, the press events that coincide with them.
These are schematic propaganda public relations campaigns.
And so, no, I don't think that we're going to get our ultimate solutions from these things.
That's not blackpilling.
That's saying that the enemy still operates and we need to be aware of the enemy's operations.
And in the chat, I think it was Little Peachy, noted, you know, Mike Pence on the COVID task force.
Mike Pence ran COVID.
How did COVID do?
Well, not very well.
Who's responsible for that?
And then, of course, we have coordinated messaging ops to blame all of that on Donald Trump.
So, yeah, I mean, I don't know.
I wish I could be rah-rah about this stuff and be like, oh, J.D. Vance is going to get him.
JD Vance is a fraud, you know, like he's not even a real person.
He's a construct that is absolutely the Uniparty right version of Barack Obama.
He's about to release a book that tells us, oh, he's back to being Catholic.
What do we see in the mainstream press yesterday?
Well, J.D. Vance's owner, Peter Thiel, owns that Hallow app, and he owns a media outlet called Evie.
Evie yesterday wrote, ran for the second time in four years.
They also ran it in 22 when J.D. Vance was Peter Thiel's funded Senate.
You know, he funded his Senate campaign.
He was Teal's candidate so that he could be a senator back in 2022.
Now we get Catholic Church is New York's hottest new club.
And we got the same story from the Washington Post.
So there's clearly a coordinated messaging up going on there.
And, you know, we could spend an hour.
we're talking about I hadn't seen those reports on tours of this yeah I can I can pull them up right now
this is the ed magazine thing this is from uh hold on me there's the link here it is
they had an article by with this same headline in 2022 it's not going to let me get through the
I'm not going to give them my email.
But New York City's hottest new club is Catholic Mass.
And then the Washington Post had the same story essentially yesterday.
And I could find that too.
Yeah, why Catholicism is drawing in Gen Z men was the headline of their article.
And the same premise.
Like this is where you can go for your spiritual fulfillment and also to meet pretty girls.
and then we have pizza parties before and after or we go to a bar and everybody talks about how Catholic they are.
It's like very, it's like kind of hijacking the Catholic aesthetic.
Yeah, what's that?
That's exactly why I left the Catholic Church.
Because it was, what?
Because it was because it was.
Because it was and did nothing at all to fix that corruption and just now it seems like they're incentivizing it again, like sexualizing the church.
What?
Yeah.
Well, you know, they need to get the moral cover.
And of course, Peter Thiel is, he has, I don't know if it's accurate to call it a dispensational eschatology, but all of his anti-Christ bullshit has to be grounded in something.
And I think that they're probably looking to attach that to the promotion of the Catholic aesthetic right now.
Man, that's crazy.
All right, let's get back into this DOJ story.
I want to just run through.
We'll go through the first one.
They actually list out a whole bunch of indictments, separate indictments.
These aren't altogether.
It says in a coordination with the vice president's task force to eliminate fraud,
eight defendants, including three nurses, a chiropractor and a psychologist,
have been arrested on federal charges that they scheme to defraud the nation's health care system out of $50 million by running sham hospice care facilities that built Medicare by.
using people without terminal illnesses as beneficiaries.
Lolita Baronea Menard, 65, according to court documents, owned and operated Topanga Hospice Care from
July 2023, April 2025, and used the company to submit more than $9 million in fraudulent
hospice claims to Medicare. The beneficiaries were not terminally ill. Numerous beneficiaries had common
addresses and most and several live far from the facility like how many red flags do you need before
this is picked up on you don't have a terminal illness you don't go in hospice you live far away
you don't go in hospice or to that hospice you uh have the same address as numerous other beneficiaries
that's like mail-in voting when are we going to get this shit right i would suggest that we are
that the people who are have installed this system have no incentive to fix the system.
Yeah, I mean, the idea that this is just being discovered is preposterous.
This is how the system operates.
If you are the people operating this system and you want to restore public faith in your
ability to operate that system, you're going to locate some very minor figures in isolated
incidents of fraud, say that there's not a systemic problem.
You've cured the isolated problems and you move on and I think that that's what's happened
That's that's exactly the point I was making is no no no no not not not to you today on Wednesday and I got so much pushback just checking out the chat and you know I'm getting pushback on this and I'm like look I will gladly if one of these
people here these doctors whatever was coordinating with somebody in in a in a government office and you know pushing them in that direction I will gladly let that person
to a year in prison and wash them free of it.
If you give me the person that enabled it.
If you give me the person,
because that person probably has a web of many,
many more people and that person will lead to somebody higher up.
And like you said,
this is systemic fraud throughout the entire system.
And until we get to the root of it,
to the head of the system,
you're not going to fix anything.
And in three years when President Trump moves on
or seven years when he moves on,
it's all going to come right back in.
We're going to be back in the fucking mind drone of, of, you know, the, let's fight about abortion.
Let's fight about gun rights.
And it's like, guys, Medicare is getting bled dry and we can't afford health care.
We always talk about that.
Let's talk about why we can't afford health care.
That's Democrat's favorite talking point.
We need to make health care affordable.
Then get the fucking fraud out of it.
And maybe it'll be affordable.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, you know, this is why I focus on talking about long term.
solutions and not wanting to just go back into where we have been after potentially
successfully leaving. That's why it's important to solve our conditioning problems, our programming
problems, our belief problems so that we can operate in some rational sense in relationship
to our government because we're not there right now. We believe that the system is something other
than it is. The system is set up and designed specifically to make this money flow.
so that the agenda can be implemented the way they want it to be implemented worldwide.
That's what the system's for.
This isn't this isn't someone coming up with a clever criminal scheme to rob the system.
This is how the system is set up. This is how it's meant to work.
Yeah. Why do you think so many of these politicians want socialized medicine?
Because exactly that point because there's no accountability.
to the federal government, right?
The federal government does not ever hold anybody accountable
for these types of things at scale.
Granted, they give us the low hanging fruit every once in a while.
They give you the foot soldier every once in a while,
so you feel good about it,
but they don't do anything else to top that off.
And the reason they want it socialized is because first and foremost
and most important, we're all slaves to the federal government.
We all, not all of us, but most of us pay taxes.
They can raise those taxes.
We'll be grudgingly do it while bemoaning it and bitching about it.
And we're gonna vote hard.
to get better politicians in there that have more fiscal responsibility but never can happen period
can't happen uh and the reason they don't want it in the private sector is because that fraud ceases
it doesn't cease to exist but there's checks and balances there's measures to make sure that they're
doing something about it because private corporations in a you know in a in a in a in a utopian
capitalist society are beholden to their shareholders to their you know the stakeholders in that
business. They're not beholden to the Federal Reserve. They don't just go out there and print money
whenever they run a deficit like the federal government does. And unfortunately, now it's gotten to the
point where, you know, going back to the tarp and everything we saw in 2008 in the shutdown where the
government's like, oh, you're too big to fail. So we're going to come in and give you money,
taking over essentially, you know, that public-private partnership right there.
Basically, a long way of ranting that they want the government doing all of these things because
it will create an oligarchical society with the benefactors of that.
And meanwhile, we're sitting here rooting on these little low-life people that are getting arrested
and going to prison for three or four years with a nest egg somewhere in an offshore
account that when they get out, they're like, oh, well, I did three years, but guess what,
I've got $20 million for the rest of my life.
It's a pretty good trade.
Pretty good trade.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And at the end of the limited hangout, we'll be told that the, you know, the person who's
being thrust on us as our next ruler is responsible for achieving these great victories for America.
And sorry, I'm not going to get on board with that. Never happens. So let me get, we talked this one out
a lot. So I'm just going to skim through this very quickly. It tells an example about a beneficiary couple
that they promised them that they sign up. Everything would be free and they received $300 per month.
The money was delivered in an envelope in cash. Like, are you kidding me? That didn't raise red flags to you
when when somebody shows up and they're like here's an envelope with $600 cash for the next six months you get this every every single month and you're like oh this is this is totally safe um so panga hospice the company we're talking about had a non-death discharge rate of approximately 85 percent three five times the national average of 17.2 percent you go into hospice because you're going to die unfortunately right you don't go in there because there's an 85 percent chance that you're going to come out alive
It goes on to talk about this one here, a husband and wife that was a psychologist and a registered nurse making 5.2 million.
But what was interesting to me, Chris, is you scroll down here and they have all these cases that they brought and we get into chiropractors.
Careful, Jay.
Careful.
Jay treated.
Four defendants with South Bay ties, one of them, a licensed chiropractor, was charged in a two-count information with conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud in connection with a $19 million scheme.
to defraud a labor union's health plan.
It says they fraudulently submitted $19 million in claims to the international longshore and warehouse union Pacific Maritime Association.
Okay.
Every case for the rest of here is a chiropractor submitting fraud claims to the ILWPMA, which is that same union.
So you see here, Gregory Cartmel, 62 of Idaho.
licensed chiropractor for count indictment for submitting 9.14 million in fraudulent claims for chiropractic services and receiving 6.43 million in payment from the union's health plan. Here's another one. Sonia Griffin arrested on a five count indictment for charging for health care fraud, submitting five million in fraudulent claims to the ILWUPMA, the international longshore worker, whatever, union. Same thing.
through Bewell Holistic Center.
Here's another one.
Is this one?
I think this one is as well.
Maybe it wasn't.
Might have stopped there.
Oh, this is a lawful permanent resident of South Korea.
I mean, yeah, this one was not.
This one was selling visas and green card applications.
And yeah, that one goes into U.S. customs.
But the point is, is how does a union being defrauded like this?
That can't be by accent.
Like maybe I'm hoping there's an investigation into the ILWPMA, how they're allowing this to happen and defrauding their, because that's what's happening, right? If you're going and defrauding a union, the union is turning around and making up for that fraud, which they may or may not know is fraud by charging more union dues, right? And so they're they're taxing their own. It's basically a micro government, so to speak. I don't know. I'm getting ranti. I'll leave that there.
Yeah, I mean, but that's their health care plan though, right?
So the costs, I think, would be passed on to the health insurance company.
And then the union would be facilitating that in that model.
I'm not sure.
The health care company would increase premiums, which then is going to increase union dues and what you pay back.
So it's a money laundering cycle where the health care company and the union themselves are the benefactors.
And we're the slaves that they keep raising the price on to cover the cost of the money.
this fraud. Right. And then you have to wonder if this model can be exported to other unions.
It's literally our federal government, what they do with Medicare and Medicaid. So if it works at the
very, very tippy top, of course it can work on all the way down. Yep. I can't wait to see this
get exposed. I think we're going to see some big things. All right. Asawa Vana, all shows are why we
vote now. So let's go ahead and jump into this story from Democracy docket. Trump, DOJ,
sues Idaho as even red states resist voter data demands says the DOJ sued Wednesday after states
refused to hand over their registration data Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane recently declined
to provide the unredacted copy to the state it's not Phil McCracken it's not Phil McCracken
it's Phil McGracken it's Phil McGrane isn't it yeah yeah no I got you I got you I got you I got you
Say it again.
Sorry, I was drinking water.
I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.
You can, you can, you can fill the crack in later.
DOJ has sued at least 30 states and the district of Columbia in its efforts to obtain
unredacted voter rolls.
About 17 red states have entered into formal or informal agreements.
So I, I just wanted to get into the actual complaint itself.
So we can get away from democracy docket.
And we'll talk a lot more about this on why we've.
vote tonight as well as democracy docket's lawsuit mark elias has sued trump over the executive order
that he just put out and we'll go through that and unpack that as well tonight but so here
in the complaint number one is his title three of the civil rights act this is 52 USC 2071 says
that it's they have to retain retain and preserve quote all records and papers which come into their
possession relating to any application registration payment of a poll tax
or other requisite to voting in such election.
So obviously the key here is the application and registration.
Now, Mark Elias, ironically, in the lawsuit that he filed to challenge Fulton County,
was saying that 52 USC 2071 only refers to voter registration.
It does not refer to ballot images and the physical paper ballots because it says here
that it's only that they have to retain any application, registration,
payment of poll tax, et cetera.
It doesn't say ballot images.
So now the DOJ is going, I mean, they should literally take Mark Elias' own amicus brief
and put it into their complaint because he makes the case for the DOJ being able to get access to these roles.
So it says here, likewise, it likewise, Title III grants the attorney general, the sweeping power to obtain these records,
quote any record or paper required by section 301 of this title to be retained and preserved shall upon
demand in writing by the attorney general and her representative directed to the person having custody
possession or control of such record or paper may be available for inspection reproduction and copying
at the principal office of such custodian at the AG or representative so in other words all the
a g has to do is write them and say hey we want to look at these records under HAVA under the civil
Rights Act of 1964, 1960, and you have to, that's our right under the statute.
Further, and lastly, it says if the custodian to whom the written demand is made refuses to comply,
the Civil Rights Act requires, quote, a special statutory proceeding in which the courts
play a limited, albeit vital role, end quote, in assisting the Attorney General's
investigative power. The Attorney General or her representative may request a
court to issue an order directing the office of election to produce the demanded records akin to,
quote, a traditional order to show cause or produce an aid of an order of an administrative agency.
In other words, the judge, all that the judge in this case can do is look at it and say,
are these records subject to the Civil Rights Act? Yes. Did the Attorney General write for these
records to obtain these records for review. Yes. So I was playing around with chat GPT last night when I was
reading this or maybe it was this morning. I don't remember. And I asked it, I was asking it about this,
lawsuit. I put the lawsuit in there and wanted to have a discussion with it. And I said,
think of it this way. Like if if the DOJ, the federal government wants to audit a state's voter
roles and there's a law in place that says they have the right to do this from time to time.
How is that any different from the IRS coming in?
So Hava says the states have to maintain the voter rolls.
And that's the argument that they're making in this response here.
They're saying it's the state's duty to maintain the voter rolls.
But Hava does give the federal government oversight from time to time, specifically the attorney
general to enforce the laws, right, to effectuate the laws.
And so how is that any different than us as taxpayers paying our taxes?
We're entrusted with that authority as sovereign citizens as you know,
taxpayers sovereign citizens.
I know you smirked at that.
I saw that.
How is that any different than the IRS coming in and saying,
well, from time to time we can audit you and now we're going to audit you.
So open up your books.
We want to see everything that you've done and make sure that everything you're doing is on the up and up.
It's no different.
But we're going to fight this in federal court.
So yeah.
By the way, just to mention.
And the reason the IRS can do that is because of the 14th Amendment, because of the reconstruction that gave the federal government not only the quote unquote right, but it's not right.
But the duty to do whatever it needed to and involve itself in whatever personal and business transactions it needed to involve itself in to make sure that there's no slavery happening anywhere.
And again, I would give them an F on their execution of that role.
That's nuts, man.
All right, let's go ahead.
I think we have another sponsor to hit here.
Yeah, let's go ahead and hit another sponsor.
And then we'll bring in the rest of the show here.
Sorry, guys.
I should have been ready for this.

quick newsome spends 20 million dollars on consultants and struggling doge inspired plan to cut
waste it says Gavin newsom has paid 20 million to a consulting firm that employs a former
cabinet secretary to eliminate wasteful spending. Go figure. California contracted with one of the
world's largest consulting firms, Boston Consulting Group, for up to $20 million, in an effort to
cut $2 billion in spending from the departments of corrections, corrections, and rehabilitation,
social services, and health care services by 2028, 2029. This brings about the group hired former
Newsom cabinet secretary and department of finance director Anna Maddo Santos and is now expected to only find
810 million so they spent 20 million dollars by the way I saw that Boston consulting group and uh
it clicked in my head because last week when we were talking I had ghost on my on my show on my
channel and uh you know who worked for Boston consulting group once upon a time.
Benjamin Netanyahu
No kidding
Yeah I didn't know that
Him and Mitt Romney worked for them together
When Netanyahu was at MIT
And Romney was at Harvard
And yeah
They worked for that group
It was the late 70s
When all the Islamophobia
Started kicking up
As he's going on these shows
At the behest of Boston Consulting Group
Yeah
Wow
That is very full
fascinating. Like the conversation Ghost and I had last week was was great. But yeah, I just don't know
where to even go with that. You know, Gavin Newsom, who has railed on the Doge efforts and everything else
now has de facto his own Doge operating in there. He's spending $20 million on it and comes up
woefully short, whatever. The Gavin thing is just comedy to me at this point. I mean,
Gavin Newsom shut down California. He essentially with his COVID policies in 20,
2020 ended my 15 year career.
So I've got absolutely no love for that guy, but he does seem to be well under control.
And operating a pretty hilarious comms op.
I don't know what the ultimate purpose will be.
But man, the Gavin Newsom Press Office Twitter thing is just the most ridiculous.
It's worse.
It's weirder than the Kamala HQ.
Remember those accounts that were operating for Biden and Kamala?
Yep.
There's something else going on there, you know, that's it.
All right.
So real quick, we're going to open up the phone lines here in a minute.
So we'll take a few calls and then we'll probably end up leaving a little bit early today.
I do want to bring up this story right here from China Daily, IRGC commander, senior IRGC commander killed in war with U.S.
Commander of the Fataheen unit of the IRGC, Mohammed Ali Fatah Liza, Liza,
was killed on Wednesday apparently this guy was like I guess like one of the
supreme propagandists in the Iranian military aren't they all but this is the
big story that I wanted to get to I did you see this story from the New York Times
right here Israel's message to a broad swath of Lebanon Shiites must go I saw you
forwarded this to the chat last night yeah right right yes okay go ahead
Holy shit.
Like if I, you know, I should have started this article and just changed like all the the names in here.
Right.
I got you.
You get what I'm saying here?
Let me read this to you.
In private calls to local leaders across southern Lebanon, Israeli military officials have assured several Christian and Drew's communities that they could remain in the evacuation zone.
They have pressed them, however, to force out any.
Lebanese from neighboring Shiite Muslim communities who have sought refuge among them.
According to local Christians, according to local Christian, Drew's and Shiite leaders who spoke
to the New York Times, I'm sure it was on anonymity.
So, you know, if this is true, this is very concerning, but could be total propaganda,
to be fair.
It says local leaders took the message as a clear signal.
Israel is trying to force out one group in the South.
Shiites who are the form, who are from the same sect as,
Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant group that Israel is trying to vanquish.
Mr. Nasser and his relatives fled their farm where they, excuse me, let me try this again.
Mr. Nasser, Ali Nasser, a Shiite from one of the border villages, Mr. Nasser and his relatives
fled their farm when the war broke out and sought refuge in Ramesh, a predominantly Christian
town with the evacuation area.
About two weeks later, municipal leaders informed them that they needed to leave at one.
quote the town received and hosted us we are grateful for that mr nasser said of ramesh but he said local leaders told him the pressure from israel to make them leave was too great i'm at a loss he said israel's defense minister israel cats said in a statement that lebanese who had fled their homes in the south quote will be completely prohibited end quote from returning quote until the safety and security of northern israeli residence is insured end quote
He previously specified that Shiites would not be allowed to return and likened Israel's strategy in Lebanon to that in Gaza.
How about to Hitler's in that of Germany?
Yeah, it's like the first scene of inglorious bastards.
Yeah, where they're hiding on, yeah, and he's drinking the milk and then they're hiding.
Dude.
What the fuck?
Yeah, it's like the whole thing is turned around or something.
It's like we got a false history or whatever.
It's like, you know, history doesn't repeat itself.
It often rhymes, you know, some Mark Twain up in here.
But I mean, we're literally, I would suggest it just repeats itself because a lot of it is just narrative.
And they're telling us the same stories over and over again because they want the same emotional impacts.
And they want to cover up what they're doing in the same way because their system doesn't really change.
How could somebody possibly read that story right there and be like, this is good?
Like, this is good.
invading a sovereign nation and telling a faction that's lived there forever get the fuck out of here
i i mean we are we are one we're pretty close to seeing the the the the lebanese and frank
popping up here i mean at some point dude holy shit man and frank there's some fiction in that story
too have you ever have you ever uh kind of gone in and done the research on how that whole thing came
to be? No, I have not. It's very interesting. I would encourage everybody out there to inquire of
the machine. And I don't know how good people are researching. People have different skills on this
stuff. But to find out whether or not there was actually a diary that was comprehensively written by
one real person. All right. I think we can open up the phone lines from there. While we're doing that,
I will point out this. Oh, let me put the number up there. We'll take a few calls.
Please, if you do call in, just have your whatever you're listening to in the background, have that muted.
And we're going to try and keep it to maybe a minute or two.
561, 87, 1367.
I'll put that up there and I will hit the open button right there.
And there we go.
So let me pull this story up here just real quick.
I don't know if you saw this.
Have you ever heard of the band Harm's Way, Chris?
I don't think that I have
All right
Hardcore rock star
Bo Luters of Harms Way
Dead at 39 hours after
Heartbreaking Final Post
So he also apparently held
Like he's like kind of like a punk rock
But like hardcore like punk rock
If you put him together
See a little misfit symbol right there
So he put out this really weird post
Let me pick this up
And I'm going to put you on hold
Call from
Oh boy
Elf boy, I'm going to put you on hold for just one second, okay?
Okay.
All right.
So, yeah, so this story, he hosted like a really popular podcast, but the concerning thing is look at this.
This was his last post right here.
He says, oh, wait, it just muted me.
It didn't mute him.
Hold on.
How is it doing that?
It says, now you can see what I mean.
Protecting my family and me, what can I do?
It makes my stomach turn, but living here, you got to learn.
You got to fight back when someone tries to take your life from you.
Kind of interesting, very cryptic.
But I just thought I was not familiar with Harm's way, but I thought that was interesting.
All right.
Elf Boy, you there?
Yes, sir.
All right.
What's going on, brother?
Good to hear from you.
Good to hear from you, too.
Well, I wanted to comment about the fraud going on.
Sure.
I did the health care, in-home health care, exactly what these people are doing that are defrauding people.
And, you know, every 60 days we had to go through a state audit.
We didn't verify our client lists.
We had to verify our caregivers.
And we had to verify every minute that we spent in these people's homes.
So I don't understand how these states are getting away with these 60 day audits.
If they don't have anything to prove, you know what I mean?
They have no clients.
They have no caregivers.
They have no nothing.
So it's not just the people running the companies, there's case managers involved.
There has to be because they're the ones that approve the hours.
The auditors themselves have to be involved because they've got to approve everything.
And I think it's just more than just one or two people that should be going down with this.
Because like I said, I mean, when they audit, I mean, it was hectic.
They come in and they verify everything.
You know what I mean?
So I think when it all comes down, there's going to be a lot of people getting arrested,
not just a governor and, you know, these business owners and air quotes.
Do you know, let me just want to.
Hang on, let me ask you, do you know is that just a requirement in your state or is that a federal requirement for each state to do these audits?
Well, these audits are federal.
So I would imagine it across the board.
So if you're, if you're comfortable, will you tell us what state you're in?
You don't have to, but just if you know what state?
What's that?
You're in what state?
Washington state.
Washington state.
Okay.
That's interesting.
So, yeah, again, this is going back to what I was saying.
There's got to be some sort of either conspiracy, complicity.
Like, they've got to, there's got to be.
Or they're just woefully terrible at their job, which also could be.
They could just be lazy people.
They're getting paid enough to get by and they don't give shit.
These hours for people to come into your home.
One, you have to be qualified disabled.
Two, you've got to have a case manager that says,
okay, yeah, Mr. and so-and-so is not able to care for themselves or take a bath or
clean their house or whatever.
And then you got to hire the company.
So, you know, there's got to be just more than one or two people.
Your auditors have to be involved because, you know, they sign up on the auditor.
Everything checks out.
Thanks.
You know, and like the companies I worked for, I worked for three different companies up here
at one time.
And every time we had an audit, anytime you called in the office, the office people were like crazy because they're like, oh my God, you know, da-da-da, call us back or, you know, these audits that they do up here, I know, aren't easy.
They're not just like come in, count the people and go.
It's they go through everything with a fine-tooth comb.
That's interesting.
Yeah, because that's why I don't understand how it all went down in Minnesota.
because I'm sure the daycare is pretty much the same way.
You know, I mean, come on.
The state's just going to hand us money.
You know what I mean?
Without, you know, literally X-ray and everything?
You know what I mean?
Do you know specifically what agency came in to conduct these audits?
I don't.
All I know is they were from Olympia, which is our capital.
Can you maybe perhaps find that out?
Because that would be an executive agency, and that would be something that would be
open to open records requests and so you would be able to get you know obviously redacted but you'd
be able to get some details of what they looked for in some of these companies that were
fraudulent and so then you can find out was there a laxed uh you know kind of laxed um requirements
for the audits on on these companies that were defrauding the government and which you know from
there i'm sure they're on this i would hope you know we've been saying this you're articulating it and
giving more detail on it, but this is something that I think everybody understands,
that this is not just low-level people that came up with this genius idea to defraud the government.
There has to be coordination all the way up to the top on this.
Yeah, there's like a, yeah, like I said, there's, there's not just one or two people involved.
It's got to go through several different hands.
And I will definitely move some phone calls and see what I can find out.
Well, you know my email, right?
You.
What's that?
at cancon at canconnet elf boy thanks for the call brother appreciate it yes sir have a great weekend
you too god bless all right so that that that's fascinating it's it is a federal requirement but
is it executed at the state level or is it executed by the federal government i'm not sure but
all right good call from elf boy good if you wanted to make a system appear legitimate while
using it to launder and commit fraud, you would have really strict enforcement on companies,
on some of the companies and then have others that are just allowed to skate.
So that's interesting.
I would think that this would all be well within the sort of framework that they could build for this sort of thing.
I almost forgot, Chris.
It's a Friday, first Friday of March or of 8th.
April, excuse me, U.S. economy added higher than expected 178,000 jobs last month.
Crushed.
Interesting.
Doing so great with these totally real numbers.
Yes.
Which is, I mean, to be fair, it is an increase over what we've seen recently.
Unemployment did drop from 4.4 to 4.3%.
Imagine having such detail on jobs that you can estimate it to the 10th of a percentage point.
but we can't clean up the voter rolls
we can't audit the fraud
like all the bullshit
maybe we should hire the Bureau of Labor
and Statistics to do all of those
other jobs
maybe we should hire them
they'd be they'd be far more
efficient than apparently
or they just make numbers up like crazy
could be that
all right we will give it another minute here
maybe we can get into rants while we're waiting
we have a couple rants here
Jester 3334.
Every time I hear about the 82nd Airborne being deployed for these operations,
I immediately think about the fourth Siyah Group
because they're both based out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Fort Bragg's a big place.
It's huge.
Yeah, they are together, but that'd be like saying because 1-8 is based out of Camp Lejeune
and second Marine Raiders are based out of their
well actually they're not based out of there they're out of uh cherry point not cherry point what's the one down south
anyways it's a huge base so i mean you know it is what it is uh thank you jester appreciate it denise ann
the gates of hell will not prevail against jesus christ catholic church i refuse to let them turn
me away from jesus the devil attacks good i will fight with my last breath for him and his church
I wish I had the
the wherewithal that
Denise has to do that.
I do believe that the Catholic church was the
original church instituted by Christ
himself, but I also
believe that humans have
corrupted it beyond anything
we could ever imagine.
All right, let's go ahead and we'll shut that down.
Only elf boy calling in, man.
Maybe I've got to give like some notice before the show.

remember how we did this last time.
