Badlands Media - Badlands Daily: 5/14/26 - CIA Spied on Trump's Own Investigators, Cartel Ops Exposed

Episode Date: May 14, 2026

CannCon and Alpha Warrior bring the Thursday energy with a show that is almost entirely CIA. Senate Homeland Security Committee holds an open hearing with CIA whistleblower James Erdman, and not a single Democrat shows up. Erdman confirms that Fauci personally injected himself into the intelligence community's COVID origin review, that CIA analysts concluded lab leak was the most likely explanation as of August 12, 2021, and that the conclusion reversed five days later for reasons the CIA refuses to document. The single most alarming admission from the hearing: the CIA illegally monitored the computers and phone calls of ODNI's DIG investigators while they were executing work explicitly authorized by President Trump, and fired a contractor the day after he met with DIG. Alpha and CannCon lay out why the public hearing is preparation for a Fauci indictment and why the auto pen pardon is the central legal battlefield ahead. Anna Paulina Luna reports the CIA removed 40 boxes of JFK and MKULTRA files from ODNI while the DIG was being wound down. CNN drops an exclusive that the CIA has been conducting targeted assassinations of Sinaloa cartel operatives inside Mexico using car bombs, and CannCon and Alpha question whether the CIA is clearing the field for a competing cartel.

Badlands daily. It's Thursday. Got the one and only Alpha Warrior joining me. How you doing, brother? I'm good, man. A little bit of a sore throat. Got my little one's bug.

Oh, no. Oh, no. I don't know. Got to take extra mushrooms today, baby. All right, well, just don't talk. That goes kind of mushroom. Siley, if you know what I mean. Oh, man.

All right. So Alpha is not going to talk this whole entire show. He's just going to nod in agreement. The show will go much smoother. I'm not even capable of that. And you know, you know, what we're talking about today. You know, every, everybody in the chat knows what we're going to bring up today. The CIA?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm confused because I don't, I don't think, uh, you're on the same page as me here. Oh, we are. No, I don't think you are. All right, guys. Welcome to the show. Let's go ahead and get into it.

And Alpha just alluded to it right there. And let's talk about our friends over at Pet Club.

I saw you guys had the founders of Pet Club. on DefCon again, had to give Alpha a jab there because he said that he has to, he's always on time now that he takes his mushrooms, he says, which is categorically false as all of the Badlands community knows.

You've been on time, but you were taking, you were taking the pet club even when you were late, homie. But it is like 7 a.m. over there. So I give you the benefit of the doubt. You're the only one. Never been. I feel like you're like on a different timeline. No, I'm not. Jay Connor 2020 said, thanks Alpha for turning me on to Pet Club. Has made a huge difference in my dog.

God bless you, brother, and God bless Pet Club. You know what? It's awesome when those messages come through. As a matter of fact, one, I'll look for it later. But remember, folks, it works for you too. Like, you know, save your pets. take care of your pets, but it works for us. Right?

Works for us. Dan Kankan sees, you know, you guys don't see it because the intro's going, but I'm boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, right as the show starting. All right, guys.

I love their hot, their hot honey stuff that they have like the, you know, Oh my, it's so good, man.

So I never had something there that I don't like. But the favorite is still the barbecue sauce, man. I turned out onto the barbecue sauce a while ago. All right. Before we get into the news, I don't often get to see the YouTube chat because it's, it scrolls by. And I've got, you know, my, my board's all mixed up. But I do, this is probably one of the best comments ever. Smack that light like button like Katie Porter.

smacking her husband with a scalding hot pan of mashed potatoes. Oh, what are we going to do with you Californians out there? Dude, that lady's. Look, listen, I'd rather keep Newsom, bro. I would take Newsom.

At least Newsom, like, has a little bit of a charisma to him. Katie Porter is just awful. Like, she is just awful. You remember the movie? She devil?

Yeah. That, right there, bro. right there she devil all right guys smash that thumbs up if you have not done so already and uh the big news coming out of yesterday was this hearing that took place in the senate uh in the senate what was it the department of the homeland security committee um with ron johnson none of the democrats decided to show up not a single democrat showed up for the for the subcommittee hearing uh they had a CIA officer, agent, whatever you want to call him. What's his name, Erdman? Erdman, I believe. This is

the second time, James Erdman. And he was before the Senate, Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. And a lot has come out on this story since the hearing yesterday. And nobody has touched on what I think was the biggest takeaway from the whole hearing. We'll get into that towards the end here. But let's go ahead and jump into this just the news. Fauci infected intelligence community in COVID origin probe, but it was consensual, according to a whistleblower. Again, this is like rehashing stuff that we've been screaming for years, even going back to the, you know, five days from Fauci shifting the narrative from lab leak to origin, natural origins, all within the course of five days back in August of 2021.

But a lot of controversy has come out of this hearing. It says the intelligence community, quote unquote, happily pursued the then-NIAID director consulting with Fauci's quote, conflicted list of curated subject matter experts to settle on a natural origin explanation for COVID-19, according to senior operations officer James Erdman. Last month, Erdman finished his joint duty assignment with the ODNI's director, Directors and Initiatives Group and that we're going to refer that to that as dig. You'll hear that throughout the this segment. Dig.

The director's initiative group. It's a group that was formed under ODNI as part of Trump's executive order, I believe. Yeah, it was established by Gabbert a year ago to restore trust and accountability to the intelligence community, which are oxymorons. But the CIA also reportedly, and this is up for debate, reportedly seized. 40 boxes of files undergoing OD&D classification related to the Kennedy assassination and CIA mind control project MK Ultra when Dig ceased its work. According to Erdman, the CIA's Freedom of Information Act page on MK Ultra disappeared between August 9th and August 21st of last year, according to archives, yet it still appears in the Google search results. Una Panuna Banka, I mean, Anna Polina Luna, who chairs the task force on declassification of federal secrets, scheduled. a hearing on MK Ultra for yesterday, May 13th, but then announced its postponement the day before citing

quote unquote legitimate hesitance to testify by three out of the four witnesses. Now jumping down here to some of the substance of the hearing, while it's a good sign that the CIA gave Erdman a desk since his recent departure from Gabbard's task force, Erdman asked Johnson to, quote unquote, hold off before publicizing more detailed allegations that he gave. gave to Congress. Like, did you watch any of this hearing yesterday at all? Alfa. Okay. The whole thing was a shit show. And again, I'm torn on what to believe, you know, anytime you have a CIA guy coming forward, you always have to take it, you know, with a grain of salt. Because as much as we can, you know, believe every single thing that he's

putting out there, he is still in the CIA. And the main mission of the CIA is deception. Go ahead. Here's what I'll say. And I don't know him directly. I have not had a conversation with him directly. But I have had conversations with two people that, two separate people that know him directly. So have I. And one of them is probably the same person.

And known him at length. And he is for quite some time in providing them information, not just that information that's been helping with the, the Vax injured. like significant, you know, help over there. So for what it, for what it is, there's that. Yes. And I was going to add before I play one of my next clips that I do tend, you know, this guy,

he seems credible. But again, you even with people vouching, you still have to take that consideration that this guy is still in the CIA. And, you know, that the CIA is more often than not, when when something's public, they're not necessarily always being great shooters. Now, he could be. I align with you on that 100%. Okay, fair. Okay.

That's fair. So it says Paul and Johnson, meaning Rand Paul and Ron Johnson, with Erdman's support, called for a new church committee. I would be all for that, by the way. I would love to see a rehash of the 1976 church committee, even though, you know, that thing was a dog and pony show, but we did get some good things out of it. A real one. A real one, yeah, yeah.

Well, the real one is classified. We will never know, you know, the reports and the closed door stuff that went on in that church committee. And Johnson and Paul said that they can't even get that, that those reports. Like they can't even get access to the real church committee stuff. Didn't they say that during the hearing? I'm pretty sure I don't remember. I'm pretty sure that they did. Yeah, it says the CIA doesn't give Johnson squat in response to his subpoenas.

The senator said, also pleading with the mainstream media to belatedly report his subcommittee's findings about the Biden administration's intentional burying of the COVID vaccine injuries as of March of 2021. Committee Democrats no-showed the hearing with their complete absence, notably noted by a shocked Johnson and Senator Bernie Moreno. Now, here's where it gets interesting. CIA science analyst, quote unquote, repeatedly concluded a lab leak was most likely the intelligence communities buried. softened or withheld. That conclusion from Congress, Paul said in his opening statement. Instead of a quote unquote small circle of scientists, federal research grantees, and intelligence community advisors, including the ODNI's biological sciences expert group, moved among agencies and briefings to coordinate the natural origin narrative while falsely portraying

their findings as the result of independent research. The BSEG advisors, included Ralph Barrick, the North Carolina virologist University of North Carolina, who collaborated with the Chinese virologist Xi Zhang Li to conduct the gain of function research that may have unleashed COVID. Both also collaborated with Peter Dasak of EcoHealth Alliance with Fauci used as a pass-through, with Fauci used to pass-through funding to Zhang Li's Wuhan Institute of Virology. So real quick, just to unpack that. That's interesting, again, that, you know, Barrick, Dasak, Fauci, all these people are coming up. We saw last week, we covered it here on Daily, but last week they had Paul Thacker on, I think his substack is the misinformation chronicle, put out a report about all of this, Dr. Munster, was it Munster?

You know, well, there's an expose taking place right now. New York Post actually put the article up about Morins, Dr. Morins, that's who I'm thinking of. being indicted for, you know, some of the stuff that was going on overseas. They allude to Dasak and Fauci as being the co-conspirators mentioned in that indictment, talking about eco-health. And then Ralph Barrett comes up at the end of that article and they talk about Ralph Barrett just got, he just retired or he's leaving the University of North Carolina, convenient timing.

And, you know, whether or not that has anything to do with what's about to come down on all of this. I don't know. But all of this COVID stuff, you know, all the kind of conspiracy theories from five years ago is now getting all balled into, you know, two weeks of exposés, public exposés. I mean, if you've been listening to alternative media, you know all this stuff because we were right about it the whole time. And well, I think that's the part that's important because if you think about it, and I wouldn't say all, but I would say at least somewhere between half to three quarters of the information that we've been talking about over the last, you know, four. seven years, you know, in this situation is because, you know, people just didn't stumble upon things. Some situations, yes, but it was information that was coming from sources, from, from good people

that were intertwined in all these different groups. And so that's what the purpose was. It was to get ahead of it into our communities with the understanding that at some point, there's going to be a formal disclosure of this process, which is good because it had been indicates people that had that position already put it out so people can be like oh i remember you know can con and alpha or plug whatever name in talking about this stuff and then whether people do it consciously or subconsciously then you start to think about what are the other things these people i've talked about that we're probably going to recognize and and i think the timing

of this stuff is that that's part of that equation well you know one of the conversations about Erdman that, you know, the implications from the conversation was that, you know, this type of, well, let me, let me save this for when we talk about the clip here, because I want to get into, this isn't exclusive to just the COVID story, the CIA, the intelligence community's involvement in these reports and whatnot. And we'll get to that here in a second. But the article goes on to talk about the lab leak that we just talked about, the August 2021, where, you know, Fauci changed his mind five days. later and Erdman says that they have no idea why that changed because the CIA won't provide any documentation as to why there was the change from lab leak to natural origin. I think we all know why, but on the official record, they're not providing anything. The intelligence community's fear of the American public learning that their taxpayer dollars may have played a role in COVID's emergence was quote unquote part of the calculus for the suppression of the lab leak changes. And then Erdman talks about changes after the September 11th terrorist attacks that quote unquote muddled the boundaries between scientists, the military and the intelligence community. The system is quote deliberately opaque and excessively redundant. End quote, with an infrastructure seemingly intended to worsen bureaucratic bloat.

There was no oversight monitoring how this web of relationships influenced research, policy, and public health in any holistic way for more than 20 years, he says. So go ahead. No, no, no. Oh, I thought you took a breath. I was changing tabs and I thought I heard that, but I could have been wrong. So let's play this clip here. We got some clips to play, but I do want to play this clip of Rand Paul from his questioning. She approved the research that went on to Wuhan and it might not be in his interest for the conclusion to be that it came from a lab that he had funded, that there might be a conflict.

Did any everybody ever bring up that he might not be an objective? witness. That was one example of an email. No one laid it out quite that clearly. You're piecing it together. We were piecing it together from multiple emails, from multiple agencies, multiple documents. It was it was more subtle than that. Nobody said this is happening. And unfortunately, I think they probably should have. It was all it was all out there. But your conclusion is that changing from the scientific consensus of it being from a lab to a neutral position by the CIA was significantly influenced by Anthony Fauci? It was significantly influenced by Anthony Fauci's injecting himself into the IC.

And to go to the second part of your question about what happened, particularly during the 90-day study, we have documentation that shows that as of August 12th, the CIA was considering calling this a lab leak, August 12th of 2021. And then that changed on August 17th of 2021. And unfortunately, because the CIA would not provide us documentation that we asked for, we have no idea why that changed. And that's. And they weren't alone because we know the FBI was coming to the same conclusion that was LabLeak,

as well as the FBI. Senator Ernst. All right. So just a clip there, kind of rehashing a lot of the stuff that we already talked about um i do want to get into if you had any comment on that good but no i think he know i'm not a a rann paul fan um no i there there i i get it no i get it but this this was important yeah i can put aside you know how i feel about the dude to be like now there's some i wish you would have pursued a little bit deeper on some situations but but i get it like this i i i

I think he did fairly okay. So, so yeah, the deeper thing. I mean, obviously this was the second time he appeared before this committee. The first time was closed door in the classified setting. This is the clickbait shit. This is all the, you know, I need my five minutes sound bite, right? Like, I mean, some of the, some of the senators that were up there didn't even really ask questions. They just, you know, for five minutes.

It's just to create the conversation in the public opinion. Correct, correct. And with no accountability because they can say whatever they, the hell they want up there. And with the speech and debate clause, it can be pure propaganda. And we have no ramification for it. There's no, nothing that we can do, you know, when we find out that they're not being completely honest or disingenuous or flat out lying. There's no accountability to that. And of course, we're told that elections would be the accountability for that. But we all know that that's not necessarily true either. Not for the, just so the audience understands, not for the person testifying, though.

right he's under oath yeah yeah yeah to be clear okay so let's get into one of the controversies that sparked up yesterday and that is from uh anna paulina luna and i'll do it all right so anna paulina luna real quick before we're sorry are we using this to supplement it or we shifting away from that because i just i did have a question uh i wanted to get your speculation on something regarding his testimony we're staying on erdman but but kind of getting into some of the stuff that's been going on around it. But go ahead.

Okay. Well, let me just ask you this then just because it's more tied to Fauci than I think where you're going right now is I agree with you. You have the classified hearing. You have this one. This one's more to generate the public conversation to get, you know, media start doing headlines. But like you said, we also have the indictment from that senior official. And since then, we've had multiple reports of are they looking into Fauci? is this because this is this is my takeaway listening to the that testimony they are creating the

support in the public opinion or when that indictment comes down here shortly for fouchy people are like oh okay i get it i get it this is why we have this information this way you don't have the the left for the controlled media being like um trump is trying to put this on fouchy trump is trying to alleviate himself from responsibility or that this is a retribution tour people now can say like no like you even have the CIA because remember the vast majority of the public thinks the CIA is a good thing they're going to see this as okay there is a reason to indict Fauci so what this is all going to culminate in and and I think Fauci might be the the litmus you know the test case for all of this is the the autopen pardons that's what this is all going to boil down to

And while we're seeing this Fauci expose, you know, Tulsi Gabbard yesterday, it was reported that D&I is looking into the bio labs, right? Again, something we've talked about for a long time, not just the Chinese bio labs. All the way back to Metabioda and all that, man. Exactly. Black and Vech. We rehashed it yesterday. I went and found all my archives of all the contracts for the biolabs that we have in. Ukraine, you know, for the embassy pages where they were talking about, I posted this yesterday,

where they back in 2022, one of the active projects, one of four listed active projects. I'm sure there's more is hanta virus research. And here we have hanta virus, you know, emerging into the mainstream. And I think they're that, you know, this expose, again, it goes far beyond just Fauci and they're taking all of it and encompassing it together. And with with the pardons, one of the things I've always said is the, the idea of a pre-expoise, preemptive pardon in and itself is absurd. You can't, you can't possibly. And there's multiple ways I think they'll be able to approach this when they

challenge the auto pen pardons. Ken is a preemptive pardon lawful. Can you preemptively pardon somebody for a crime that you don't even know the extent to which it, you know, the damage that it did? Like, can you say we find out that, you know, Fauci is 100% responsible for this 100% knew that this vaccine was going to kill millions of people. Can you pardon him for that preemptively before you know the extent of that crime? I think absolutely not.

Unfortunately, yes, as so long as the crimes that it leads into, don't fall out outside the scope of what a pardon is empowered with. And again, that still leaves room for subjective. because I know people bring up like treason and sedition and you're right, but you have to prove that this was that. And I think there's an argument to be made of that because remember, you had government officials that were doing that and this could, you could create the argument against speculation, but you could create the argument that this was a way to take out government officials,

to take out the military. I think there's a, there's a whole array of arrows to make it treason and sedition. But something else to remember, too. is these bio labs weren't in the United States. The origin was not in the United States. And if Trump now has relationships where these countries where it did happen, let's say Xi and China,

let's just say Zelenskyy, whoever else takes control in Ukraine, those places can have charges that involve the people responsible for that. And a U.S. pardon does not cover crimes for other countries. But can we, would we extradite them if they're pardoned in the United States? And that's, that's a great point right there about foreign countries bringing charges. That's, that's a really valid point. Just real quick to clarify a couple things. First and foremost, preemptive pardons has only been used once in our history.

And that was for Richard Nixon after Watergate. And I think what was it? Was it Ford that followed him? Ford replaced Nixon. he preemptively pardoned Nixon after Watergate. Also, you can, in fact, pardon for treason and seditious conspiracy. There's no limit to the presidential pardon powers in terms of what crimes. There's no crime that the president can't pardon you for. Again, I don't, while there's no limit to what they can pardon you for, I don't think you can pardon somebody until there's been a crime articulated.

It's just you can't do that. Even if you say, you know, preemptively, you know, if he would have articulated that I'm, I'm pardoning Fauci for killing people with the vaccine. If he would have said that, then sure. I think you could you could preemptively pardon him from that. I don't think that would be popular. I think that would be the, you know, essentially the death knell of the, of the Democratic Party. If they did something like that, you know, expressed what they're pardoning him for. But I think we're going to see the challenge here.

And I think the whole point is to show you how bad the crimes against humanity, against America, against the globe committed by Fauci were so that when they do indict him, you're not going to be able to scream like, hey, this guy's preemptively pardoned. You can't do this. People are going to be like, you know what? Maybe we need to look into this. And what's the other narrative that we saw put out there earlier this week? I think it was this week.

they're trying to get the the recordings from Joe Biden's 2017 interview with his ghostwriter. And they're trying to get those recordings in order to prove that Joe Biden disclosed classified information to his ghost writer. And if he does that, if he did that in 2017, he wasn't president. He had no declassification powers. He didn't have the plenary declassification power. So unless he can prove that Obama declassified that information, that would be, that would be, that would be a crime. Now, it's past the statute of limitations, but again, the 2020 election, another thing there. You know, if we, if we delegitimize Joe Biden completely, then everything that he

did goes away. Go ahead. I'm sorry, it's, it's, it's only past the statute of limitations if you're looking at it as an individual crime, but if that crime is associated to a criminal enterprise, and if that criminal enterprise is under a RICO investigation statute of limitations hasn't even started to toll yet i just want to remind everybody about that because that is in play right now like i know a lot of people are panicking they didn't get Fauci before the statute of limitations on the perjury and just understand folks it's riko cases are in play that's not speculation we know that toulsi did that with russia russia russia and then following that she announced that there's other RICO cases. Now, we don't know the specifics, but it's kind of easy to make an educated

deduction of what those are. So just understand that ongoing criminal enterprise with the continuing conspiracy doctrine, we can go as far back as they can take, as long as they got the predicate crimes to establish it and the criminal enterprise existed, we can take this all the way back to JFK even farther back. Can you, in the continuation of the conspiracy, would the pardon itself be a continuation of that conspiracy if you can tie the pardon to specifically, you know, something that was formulated between Fauci and Biden or Biden's inner circle. We know Biden wasn't actually doing it. That one's complicated, man. I've written this one on paper just to like map out how it looks. And it all comes down to is, you know, if the office of the presidency for Biden

is not argued that it was illegally obtained, you know, which, you know, fraud eviscerates everything, right? If you can show that, then I think there's an absolute argument that the, that the pardons are null. But if that argument's not made or, or if his power as president is not challenged and then, you know, established, then I think no, then that that portion for the purposes of criminal charges is absent. Now, but here's the thing, though, it doesn't mean that that information can't get used in an investigation. You can still use it to show, hey, look, there are ongoing crimes. We just can't charge for them.

You know, these people were involved. Here's conspiracy. Here's the entire list of criminal activity. But because pardons exist, this window of time, we can't charge for that. But we can use that window of time and criminal conduct to create the nexus to what happened after that presidency. Does that make sense? Yes.

but I think I think you're missing what I'm saying though with the pardons not the the legitimacy of the pardons but whether it's a furtherance of the conspiracy. The pardon itself. Yeah. So if there was some coordination between Fauci, Fauci staff, Fauci's inner circle and Biden's inner circle saying, hey, we need these pardons because, you know, the next administration might uncover this stuff. We need these pardons.

That would be a furtherance of the conspiracy. The fact of the pardon itself would definitely fall into. to the conspiracy. I don't know if there's an actual U.S. statute. There might be if there's an actual statute that says using pardons illegally, there probably is. But for the element of conspiracy, yes. But right. So if you're if if the pardon can do away with the crime, then it would also be a furtherance of that conspiracy because you're working on negating the crime itself by by the pardon. And so therefore, if the pardon's illegitimate, that was a moment in time where you were furthering that conspiracy. You were trying to get yourself out of that conspiracy.

I think you can make a strong argument that that is a further. No, I agree with you. The unfortunate part is that, you know, conspiracy doesn't hold a significant, you know, consequence, unfortunately. In of itself, again, tied to something bigger, changes everything. It moves the statute of limitations. That's the big thing about it. It does. That's the important part.

Well, the other thing, too, just so people, understand is, you know, well, how do you, you know, like, how will you charge Obama if you can't show that he had active participation in these events, right? Just that's an assumption because we all believe he has. But if you can't, once you establish the criminal enterprise, you get to go after everybody. The only way that you can be removed from any ongoing crimes is you have to formally notify the government. I am no longer a part of this criminal enterprise. It's in the law. That's how it's written.

I have never found a case for somebody. has ever done that. And reason being is because now you're acknowledging that you're part of that criminal enterprise. So for everything before that moment when you did it. So outside of that, once you establish these people are a part of it and you establish that it's going, everybody's on the hook until that, until that to the date of that prosecution, everybody's on the well. So my whole point in bringing all that up was I think that you're also seeing, you know, the Robert Her tapes, the 2017 ghostwriter tapes, you know, the, I think it's the heritage Foundation that's trying to obtain these documents.

And Joe Biden has like up until, I think it was like Tuesday to respond whether or not he's going to fight the release of these documents. I don't know if I've seen whether or not he did yet. But, you know, when we see the her tapes and we listen to the her tapes, you can see that this is not a cognitively functional man. Her zone, you know, justification for not bringing charges would nullify those pardons because the guy was, if he can't, if he's not mentally, uh, uh, you know, there enough to stand, uh, trial for, for, for crimes, then he definitely can't dismiss

crimes of somebody else. I agree with. Especially preemptively. I, I, I, 100% agree with you on there. So, so I think I, I think we're setting up to see here Fauci perhaps, uh, being the first person that the, the, the pardons are challenged against, I think. So, um, anything else on that? Are you ready to move on? Yeah, we can go. We're going to stay on Erdman here for a minute. But so, okay, so here's Una-Panuna, and she started a whole shitstorm with this remark here. You also have some news coming out of the CIA that you'd like to share. Yeah, so we were actually just notified that the CIA went in and took documents out of ODI and I, multiple boxes pertaining to the JFK files as well as MK Ultra.

The reason why this is troubling is A, there was an executive order that the president had directed the full declassification of JFK, but then also to the MKLT file. The CIA famously has said that, you know, all documents were released and other documents had been destroyed. So these are allegedly those documents that apparently never existed. And so very troubling. I did just talk to Chairman Comer and we are sending in the next hour or so a preservation of documents requests to the CIA. I have calls into the White House to the director of the CIA himself. And so obviously, as this develops, we'll keep everyone up to date.

But strange times we're living in. You also have some... Oh, we're sending the CIA, a preservation list of documents. That's what the CIA says to that. A preservation list of documents. You guys only preserve 15% of the MK Ultra documents the first time that there was a preservation letter sent. You destroyed like 50,000 documents on MK Ultra. But you're totally going to back it up this time because Una Panuna says that you need to,

to now well um you good thing is though is the second you write and serve that letter and they do destroy it now you have concrete charges for destruction of evidence yeah good luck charging the CIA I agree with you but you you got to have all the ammo built up so at least you're ready for it when it comes so Annapolina luna's um comments there uh on news nation led to just a complete complete and total shit show. Jesse Waters put this now deleted. He deleted it this morning, but I've still got it because I had it in prep for my show. So as long as I don't hit that refresh button, I've still got it. And so he put this out breaking the CIA just raided Tulsi Gabbard's office. Holy smokes. Olivia Coleman, D&I spokeswoman, says, this is false. The CIA did not

raid the office. Now, do you see, and I've inquired with Coleman. about this to see if we can get just clarification on this but listen to what we heard what una puna says we can listen to it again and uh hold on news coming out of the CIA that you'd like to share yeah so we were actually just notified that the CIA went in and took documents out of OD and I multiple boxes pertaining to the JFK files as well okay so she doesn't say raid but that's like saying saying Alpha, his ethnicity is from a country very just to the south of America, specifically California. It's a country just south of there.

And they're like, you called Alpha Mexican. No, I didn't. I just told you where he defined the word without using the word. And she says she put out a post and sorry for that horrible analogy, but she put out a post saying, I didn't find anywhere where I said raid. Well, you didn't explicitly say raid. You said they went into ODIA, went into ODI and took boxes out of O'DNI's possession.

That's a raid. That's a seizure, raid, whatever you want to call it. Am I wrong? You're not wrong. I just want you to remember that argument for later on in the show. Okay. Well, I, you're going to- Everybody remember that argument that he just formed

that I agree with for later on the show. What I found very interesting on this. Well, oh, no, no, no. That's the now deleted. I have the original. Oh, okay. The part that I found interesting is you had, Ezra got a whole, he got ahead of APL hours, hours ahead of her,

where he said, hey, this information is coming out and it's false. It's not, it's fake. And he still. Fake news. Yeah, fake news. that's what but he's referencing this story specifically and then she still comes out and delivers it that way and i found that to me that was odd so there was something already circulating because i was trying to find out what what is ezra referencing because i couldn't find a post prior to his that talked

about it so i'm assuming this is this was back channels that he was trying to get ahead of that he knew was going to you know make its way to the public sphere and she still put this out so You know, when she says we were notified, I'm just curious to how this even originated. Well, she says here, this is her statement this morning, I believe. I'm noticing a few large accounts stating falsely that I claim there was a raid on Tulsi Gabbard's office by the CIA. This is completely false. Now, that's where I have a problem saying it's completely false because it's not completely false. It's false semantically, yes, it's false.

but you did say that the CIA went into DNI and took documents boxes out of their possession. You know, and that's why I asked, let me see if I could find it real quick. And I don't want to refresh. So that's why I asked Coleman here. I said it wasn't rated fine, but did CIA seize documents that were under the possession of ODNI or was Erdman lying? And, you know, and the reason for that is because now we're seeing kind of this this like information or good i haven't seen her response this morning that you pointed to but the one that she put later on yesterday was that and because i don't think i don't know if she apologized or

but she she acknowledges the mistake and says but i was referencing something that already happened so there was a situation where and if you go to her page you'll probably find it um if not i know it's in my bookmarks i'll go through my bookmarks um so there was a situation where the CIA did this we just don't know when and under what circumstances so she doesn't come out and say it didn't happen she just says hey i was referencing something that had already happened this this wasn't like breaking just happened i just let me find it for you so i can i can read it to you specifically i just put the link uh to to that response in the chat because if we can get enough you know likes perhaps we can actually get an answer on this because i i do think this is

pretty significant one way or the other. And still, this pales in comparison, guys, I believe, to one of the admissions that Erdman or one of the things that Erdman claimed that nobody is talking about. But go ahead. Oh, you know what? I thought this was pretty funny. So John Kirikow was on that Jesse Waters clip.

And I love this little segment right here. This is crazy. This is something out of a movie. the CIA was experimenting with LSD on willing and unwilling participants during the Cold War for intelligence operations and to exploit people. And it didn't go well a lot of the time. And they threw it all in a wastebasket, right? Like, it never really worked.

Is that why they don't want anybody to know about it? I think they don't want people to know any more than what we know about, for example. dosing innocent citizens of San Francisco, California, or a small village in France and putting LSD in the yeast at the only bakery in the village just to see if everybody in the village would go nuts, which they did, of course, or coming up with a program in San Francisco to hire prostitutes to dose Johns and see if they would cough up their innermost secrets. So I thought that was kind of funny, the limited hangout of M.K. Ultra and what we know from the 15% of documents or even less who knows how many documents but again you know

the the jesse waters having kirakow on there to talk about this and put this out there and unapunha talking about mk ultra and the jfk files we've already kind of went through the the the ringer on the jfk files earlier in in this uh second or third term whichever you want however you want to classify it when you see like is mk ultra going to be the next you know shiny object for you know, these fake, these huge fake MAGA accounts to start. We want the MK Ultra files, release the MK Ultra files, which once again, Alpha, a continued pattern here. We've been talking about MK Ultra for years, you know, before Badlands even existed. I mean, our, and I'm not just saying you and me, I'm saying in general, you know,

our kind of faction of the media here, you know, I know Jordan has done a ton on it. Zach has done a ton on it. I've talked about it many, many times when we read lifting the six years ago. Are is that going to be the next shiny object where everybody like you know, it's like the Drake meme like Epstein files JFK assassination MLK assassination MLK assassination mk ultra that's the new one you know you know what I'm getting at? I do I do know what you're getting at. I'm trying to look for something specific.

Well first before I get sidetrack because you're going to squirrel me right now. I found the post. Let me read it for you. She posted this six yesterday at 6. 33 my time so 933 Eastern. Now, don't bring up the one I sent you yet. That's that's one that literally just happened about an hour or two ago. So this one's from 9.33 p.m. Eastern.

He puts clarification. Took documents that the ODNI has jurisdiction over. Also, this did not happen today and was not a raid. However, it did take place and we were just being made aware of it based off reporting, etc. Now you can go. So that was yesterday, 9.33 p.m. now you can go to the one that I sent you and this one's interesting. Yeah, I mean, this is kind of this along the same lines.

Go ahead if you want to read it. So hold on my camera. All right, there we go. All right. There you go. This is false. I never claimed a quote unquote raid was made. Show me one clip where I say that.

OD and I did confirm docs were taken that were under their jurisdiction. I mean, that's a raid, dude. Or a seizure. Okay. Different kind of whatever. That is a problem. Also, this is directly based off whistleblower testimony and OD&I. I don't know what low-level staffers you were talking to, but this was directly confirmed,

hence the preservation of documents letter from the oversight signed by the chairman. Also, isn't ironic that you have such a wild out of context claims about me and yet a few months ago, you crashed a meeting in my office that you were uninvited to that I was hosting and I let you stay. Yeah, must be so bad that you show up to my office to chill. And that was not the first time you came in. You sound sour grapes. And this is in response to who? Nick Sorter.

Ah. Interesting. Interesting. You're seeing some pushback there. Yeah, I don't know, man. This is kind of strange. But do you have anything more on that or you want to get into what I thought was the most? To your question of, is this the next thing?

And I was trying to find the specific posts. And I can't. I'll look for it later. But this goes back to the boards. How do you legally introduce something? and I this is how this is you get you get these people whether it's the congressman or someone that's a part of these agencies to become a whistleblower or to make a red but this is how you get the information we all been talking about for years this is how you legally bring it into the conversation and so again got out shout out to 17 out there who told us that this is exactly how this would unfold um I do want to give a shout out speaking of shoutouts to St. Massel for gifting 10 subscriptions before that disappears.

I think it actually just disappeared. So thank you for that. Mad Mr. Fox, Alpha, you have no ground to stand on. I'm reading rants, by the way, as they come in now. And then I think somebody's calling you a Fed. I think that's what it's a link to. I have no idea. I just want to know what argument that I have no ground.

to stand. I don't, I don't know what it's in reference to, but, uh, your base, you're, you, you've been a fed, I guess, since November 2012 when you first signed on to X, apparently. I don't know. Sounds kind of stupid. Um, I mean, let me see. That would mean, that would, I mean, I mean, technically it's possible. I mean, I was in law enforcement at that time. So, you know, I could have, I could have got picked up by, you know, a task force. Yeah. You did, Borgman. I mean, theoretically, you know, Alba could be a bad. So this is the segment of Erdman's testimony. By the way, it was notable that you have Colonel Long over his right shoulder in the background throughout this entire hearing. You know, she was a huge, she still is a huge outspoken. I think we have, we have on sit rep tonight, we're going to be talking about this as well.

I don't think I texted you that yet. but uh so this is where no not colonel town or no but our no colonel town or not colonel long i was i was gonna say you know she we had her on sit rep yes we did but i i'll i'll text you i interviewed her as well when i was at uh an event in alabama with clay uh that he invited me to that's the one where i ended up having to give like a 30 minute speech while i was filibustering uh while james o'keef was getting all his like stuff together they're like hey can you go up there and talk and i was like oh shit i wasn't prepared to talk and so i went up there and gave like a 30 minute speech just completely off cuff.

It was very strange. But yeah, so check this out here. This is the 40 boxes, the ODNI raid and all that stuff. When the dig ceased operations, the CIA also took back 40 boxes of JFK files and MK Ultra files being processed for declassification by D&I Gabbard. Okay. So now it turns out what he actually said was when digs, ceased to exist, they took back, meaning they were originally theirs, possibly, these files that D&I

Gabbard was in the process of declassifying. So again, I don't know. This is good, like, this is all semantical bullshit to me and trying to make something as, you know, the Anna Paulina's MK Ultra hearing kind of fell apart. This to me, well, it's falling apart. I hope it happens. I really do. I hope we get more exposure on mk ultra but for right now it's on hold this to me alpha was the the craziest part and it's you know it's not anything like shocking but the fact that it's not shocking should be concerning but listen to this admission here the CIA illegally monitored the computer and phone usage of dig personnel their investigations and contact with whistleblowers these were Americans being spied upon illegally while executing duties directed by the president and under the authority

of the director national intelligence. One CIA contractor assisting with the dig's investigation into the events that transpired between 2022 and 2023 was fired by the CIA one day after meeting with the dig. So to me, that's the most concerning part right there. So while the dig is doing their authorized and ordered work from not just D&I Gabbard, but explicitly from President Trump, you want to talk about tradition and treason? Yes. The CIA is spying on them and monitoring their computers and listening in on their

whistleblower complaints and all that. Like let's go back to let's go back to Trump's first impeachment with Charmella. And the, you know, the whistleblower in that case, and we can't disclose that whistle. The CIA is spying on COVID whistleblowers in a president authorized organization. And again, this is not surprising. This is just concerning. And like you said, sedition. This is, you know, wow, man.

The other complication that it's going to create is if you're talking about a conversation Tulsa Gabbard's having with a future whistleblower. Or, you know, maybe they weren't a whistleblower at the time, but a future whistleblower. What's the classification of that conversation? Because if that security clearance is rated at her and you have a CIA official that's, you know, listening in and spying on that, and he doesn't have that security classification. Like, I understand there's a lot of complications that are created here. That this is going to get messy. But this, all this stuff reminded me of, do you remember what Trump offered the CIA last year? No. He offered to buy them out.

No, I don't remember that. Yeah, it was, I want to say if I'll look it up for you right now. If you go to the next couple of stories, because everybody was talking about it and it fizzled out so fast. But he offered the CIA, he offered the CIA to buy them out and they rejected it. And I was just like, why aren't they like pursuing this? Why isn't he kind of explaining out why he's making the offer to to buy them out? It's almost like he was giving us a heads up that I'm going to get rid of the CIA. I'm trying to buy them out.

I'm making a, you know, a pretty offer for them. So I'll look for it while you're doing that. I don't understand again, you know, as soon as I heard that I was listening yesterday and, you know, I do other things while I'm listening in the background. And I heard that and I was like, hold on, hold on. Did he just say that? And I rewound it. And I played it again. And I was like, the CIA was spying on dig, D&I, complete.

So CIA is subordinate to DNI. DNI is above all of the intelligence. It is the MACDADDADD, right? It shouldn't exist, but it's the MACDADDATI. It has oversight over all of the intelligence agencies. So for one of those agencies to be spying on their superior is crazy. Then you factor in the fact that this dig was authorized by President Trump, authorized by Tulsi Gabbard.

And the CIA feels like they have the authority to to trump that, literally. I thought that that was so crazy. And when you think about it, if they're willing to do it on, you know, COVID and on something like that, where does it end, right? How much influence do they have over, you know, our election investigations? And, you know, this is kind of what I was alluding to earlier in the show when I said that, you know, there's people out there saying, dude, we were totally interfered with. You know, there's been, and, and they're not always the smartest person in the room.

You got to remember the CIA folks. They're not always the smartest person in the room or on the line, so to speak, even if they're not known to be there, known to be there. So, yeah, anyways. So, listen, I agree with you. I mean, there's probably an argument made to where maybe there's a portion of military intelligence that could have that kind of, of power, but not, I would definitely say outside the military, not even remotely a chance when you're talking about the CIA. And even with the military, I mean,

that would definitely be like, I hope it would have a lot of hesitation. But at least in that aspect, it would make sense to me. Not with the CIA, the FBI, or any other agency. And that aspect can make zero sense. The buyout was on February 4th of 2025. The short and skinny of it, President Trump and newly appointed CIA,

director John Ratcliffe offered buyout packages to the entire CIA workforce on Tuesday of February 25. The offer allowed agency employees to voluntarily quit their jobs in exchange for approximately eight months of pay and benefits. This was, you know, that that was going on. And it was like, you know, the fact is he didn't, he didn't target the NSA or any of these other ones. He went straight to the CIA to make this offer. And on town, yeah, I found that, they rejected it. But I found it very interesting that he was showing, hey, out of all the, out of all the intelligence agencies we have, if there's one that I'm going to eliminate and shrink, it's going to be the CIA. Like he made that public by making that offer to them.

Yeah, I do remember that now. I, for some reason, my brain was thinking of like he's just going to buy the entire CIA, like, as a whole. That was the part, wasn't that part of the federal worker buyout program? and he extended it and he explicitly, I think it did extend all the intelligence, but he explicitly called out the CIA and said, hey, CIA, I'll buy out all of you guys, will buy out all of you, the federal government, not Trump himself. But yeah, that is very, very interesting, very interesting. And we're going to, we got another story coming up.

I do want to, on the CIA, I do want to highlight just one last thing here on the hearing from yesterday, another very, very strange thing. So mid, and again, this is this is why I'm skeptical of this because there was a lot of like kabuki theater possibly like drama. You know, you had Ron Johnson I mentioned holding up, hey, Mr. Erdman, can I share this document? And Johnson's like, this document shocking. It's so like, what?

And then he's like, can I share this? And the guy's like, no, not yet. And it's like, oh, come on, man. You can't wave a document in front of our face and then be like, no, I can't show you. And then halfway through the hearing or towards the end, Senator Johnson's like, oh, yeah, we just got a letter from the, what was it? Does it say specifically? I think it was like the PR director, Director of Public Affairs, Liz Lyons, saying, quote, the committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing, and he's reading this during the hearing. The committee acted in bad faith by subpoenaing an agency officer for testimony today without notifying the CIA, despite having already obtained closed door testimony from the individual previously. The witness testifying today is. not appearing as a whistleblower in pursuit of the truth, but instead in response to the subpoena issued by Chairman Paul. This proceeding amounts to nothing more than dishonest political theater masquerading as a congressional hearing. As the CIA has already assessed, COVID-19 most

likely originated from a lab leak and efforts to undermine that conclusion are disingenuous. So the CIA is big mad that Erdman was there testified. Big mad, bro. Big mad. Okay, so we do have another CIA story that we'll jump into Segway 2. Do you have anything else you want to add on that before we do that? No, I'm good. Okay. Well, then let's real quick pause here, kind of reset briefly. Let's hit that thumbs up. If you have not done so, smash it like Katie Porter's mashed potatoes. I think there was a rant here. Boom digity. Let me pull that up. There it is. Well, let me pull it up on the on the rant thing so I can check it off. Oh, look at this now. When you do the thing, if you have the API, it shows you all the people that got the ads. So that's pretty cool. The boom diggedy, lots of info in the quiet release of MK Docs 12, 2024, and then an NSA archive website.

I'm afraid to go to that on my personal computer, but I will do it. Okay. So let's go ahead and smash that thumbs up like I just asked. and let's play the most epic, sorry Alpha, the most epic soft disclosure ad to date. Today we remember those who gave everything. And memory is never still. No, Gigi, we can't stop for sense.

Do we have to deliver all of the soft disclosure gift card? It goes by Zach Cade. The lotion detector. Fighting over the beer breath. It will never be a better ad than that. That is epic. I want that song to be the intro for Badlands Daily. Like screw, screw Thunderstruck.

Let's just go. I want that intro song. Like, I'm rocking out in the background, Alpha saw it. I could see Alpha Rock. We're rocking out in the background. Moisturize your soul or hydrate your elbows. Man, let's do it. All right, guys.

I was, I thought that shit was epic. And then I saw three alpha so long. Alpha so hung. I saw Officer Hung. make an appearance I'll just say that's bro. Oh man. One,

that thing doesn't have to be edited at all, but I would, if I think we should do an, a remake of it to only add one thing. You know how we put Alpha Sol hung in there? I think it should show all the, the bad land content creator avatars in the front row, like all cheering for them.

We have to hit one more sponsor. Hold that thought, though. Guys, quick question. How much control do you actually have over your money right now?

rumble wallet um i would say put them in the band somebody had made that suggestion like make the badlands band uh he definitely do that as a matter of fact um you should show whoever creates those make make make john um you remember uh gosh the movie that the famous Vegas movie uh had a couple parts to it uh with the dudes and they get drunk for the wedding over yeah hangover um make john the guy that's carrying the the baby thing and put baby in the baby care all right let's get back to seriousness here so we talked about the CIA there the disclosure that's coming out and then we get this story here from CNN exclusive CIA escalates secret war on cartels with deadly operations inside of mexico the story is very interesting coming to us live from Natasha Bertrand, Zachary Cohen, Evan Perez, and Mauricio Torres. So again, anytime I see Natasha Bertrand's name on a story,

I'm immediately skeptical that we're reading pure propaganda. But let's dive into it. This spring, a mysterious explosion, blew up a car carrying an alleged cartel operative in broad daylight on one of Mexico's busiest highways just outside of its capital city. Francisco Beltran was killed instantly. Video and pictures of the attack on March 28th show a quick burst of flames with the car continuing to roll forward, drifting off the highway.

That's an important note right there. Known as El Paiin Beltran was accused of being a mid-level member of the Sinaloa cartel. Mexican authorities had maintained extreme secrecy around the explosion, but multiple sources tell CNN that the attack was a targeted assassination facilitated by CIA operations officers. An explosive device had been hidden inside the vehicle, the state of Mexico's attorney general told CNN. The Beltran operation was part of an expanded and previously unreported CIA campaign inside of Mexico, spearheaded by the agency's elite and secretive ground branch to dismantle the entrenched cartel networks.

So before we move on, Alpha, do you know why I think the videos and pictures on March 28th and quickly bursting into flames and continuing to roll forward and drifting off the highway? Why that's interesting? Why is that? Well, this was an explosive device hidden inside of the vehicle, meaning it was remote detonated, most likely. Right? Something triggered it. Was it somebody, you know, press the button, so to speak? and they got video and picture of it rolling off the highway happening.

Do you think it was intended that it was going to happen at a specific point where they knew that there would be cameras rolling actively videotaping this and as a message to, you know, other entities? I don't know. It could it could just been, hey, traffic cams happened to catch it, maybe. I don't know. I thought that was interesting. It's definitely plausible.

The hidden inside the vehicle, like, you know. I mean, we see it in the movies, right? We just got John Kierkao saying, this is a movie. It feels like a movie, right? Or Jesse Waters, excuse me, saying this is, this feels like a movie. CIA, you know, make sure you don't start your car, you know, have somebody else start your car or whatever. Yeah. Thank God for remote start.

Yeah, right. Until they figure out how it's actually on the tumbler and the ignition. Because, right, you get in the car when you remote start it, you still, if you have a button, you still have to press the button. or if you have a tumbler still you still have to turn the key and that's what would actually trigger it or just opening the door that would be the easiest yeah opening the door would actually actually be the easiest and also it would ensure that well no because then the door could blast block the blast and throw you back and you could technically survive you got to be inside the car I don't know all right since last what's that then after you close the door there you go that's the best way yeah uh since last year CIA operations inside Mexico have directly participated in deadly attacks on several mostly mid-level cartel members, sources say, saying that the quote-unquote lethality of the operation has sincerely ramped up, quote, it's a significant expansion of the kind of thing the CIA has been willing to do inside of Mexico. The attack on Beltran was brazen, even by the standards of typical

Mexican cartel violence, and Mexican analysts debated in the days afterward whether it could signal a worrying, sophisticated new dimension of cartel on cartel warfare. Interesting. So they're making the case here. Some people are making the case that is the CIA operating on behalf of another cartel? Or is this enmasquerading as we're taking out the Sinaloa cartel? Before I move on, what's your kind of thought on that? So again, definitely plausible. because we know the CIA has done that. Right. It's not like,

they've already done it. So it's just a question, are they doing it here? Man, I don't know. What I will say is we know that there are military operations happening in Mexico to target the cartels. We absolutely know that.

That has been happening since before the operations took place in Iran. And the reason being is because, you know, me and Josh talked about it on one of the shows because everybody said, Iran's next. So we said, no, everybody look at Mexico. That's where it's going to happen. And you saw a training operation that had made the headlines. And it wasn't a training operation when you look at what happened a few days later.

So we know this has been happening. So are you talking to embassy guys that that got killed? Was it? It might have been that because that was around the same time frame. Too late last month, right? No, no, no, no. This was before then. Yeah, this was.

Yeah, this was like this before the, the, I, Iran thing kicked off. But the point being here is there's a whole lot of like, you know, possibilities. Could it be the CIA use, you know, helping a cartel go against another cartel? Absolutely could be. Could it be, you know, the military doing operations. Well, yeah, because we know that's already happening. Could it be the military taking on the CIA under the guys of a cartel versus cartel?

Absolutely. You know, it is, it's, there's, there's, there's, attack on the cartel in Mexico and and that is 100% under the direction of Trump. It says, you know, who's who right now. Right. You know, this reminds me like, you know, that Spider-Man meme. You know, that, yeah. That's, that was my thought on this. I mean, we know that Trump has been vocal about this. We know that, you know, Ratcliffe, you know, goes all the way back to the first administrations. You know, he was OD and I at the end of Trump's administration, you know,

post 2020 stolen election. You know, Cash Patel in his book talks about Ratcliffe and the discussion that Patel had on aboard Air Force One about getting Ratcliffe on board. And I think Cash even says in the book that President Trump tasked him with being the guy to call and offer Ratcliff the job. And, you know, Cash outlines this. So it's, you know, you think that if you are to believe in, you know, in devolution and continuity and all those things that that Ratcliffe.

would be a, you know, a staunch ally of the administration. And so you have to, using that logic, I put a little, a lot more faith in Ratcliffe as the head of the CIA. And so when you see these operations, you know, going back to Venezuela, when, when Trump announced that the CIA is going to be conducting operations in Venezuela, like you don't, that's, we, we haven't seen really precedent for that before. And when we talk about, good. I was going to say in the chat, Steve, Steve Crawl puts two men with guns movie 100% bro. 100% if you guys haven't seen that movie 100%. That's the last scenario that I was talking about.

He nailed it. But the other thing about the Venezuela thing is we covered this here on daily. When we drone struck one of the drug boats that was still docked in Venezuela, the order of of operations was backwards on that. It was the CIA conducting the operation while the Navy seals were on the ground targeting the operation. Like, that's, that's backwards. It should be the CIA conducting the intelligence and the, the, the military conducting the drone strike, but you see it backwards. So to your point there, is this perhaps a conflict that goes beyond just the CIA going after specific cartels?

That's an interesting idea to kind of theorize and look into. To that point with, because I agree with you, it was backward. You know, why is, why is the U.S. Navy conducting the surveillance and CIA making hit. What one could argue is we didn't get very specific information by what do they mean by the CIA. Was it a asset to the CIA? Was it a Venezuelan citizen operating as a contractor for the CIA? Because then at that point, it's, you know, there's that gray area.

Well, this technically wasn't a U.S. you know, hit on this vessel. Like it is it leaves room to to skirt certain legal legal things as far as okay, if you you hit a boat that's attached to a port that's attached to the land of a country, then is that an act of war? Well, if the U.S. Navy didn't technically do it and it was a Venezueless, you know, citizen, actually as a contractor, then again, you get into legal definitions. Not to go off on a tangent, just things to consider regarding that.

And we could have that kind of discussion and, and, you know, just kind of theorize things like this. But again, what if, you know, the strikes that we're seeing, you know, we're trying to conduct operations where we're capturing instead of, you know, instead of eliminate, seek and destroy, we're trying to capture these entities because Trump is at war with the cartel. And if you're at war with the cartel, you want intelligence, you want operatives, you want inform, informants, you want people that are going to roll on the cartel and tell you how things go. And so whenever you have one, what if there's entities within the CIA, which acts completely and totally, in my opinion, independent of the president's orders and wishes, what if they're taking them out? So the Navy is about to go in and raid this beachfront drug port where they're moving stuff out, you know, capture. And the CIA is like, no, we can't risk them being captured. We're going to strike them.

Same with the drug boats. Same with the drug boats. There is a, the drug boats are captured individuals. If you're willing to kill them and strike them with drones, you're willing to kill them and execute them without due process, then you would also be willing to. And we made the argument, you and I have made the argument that these, they'll bail out all the drugs, right? As, as they know they're being pursued, they'll bail the drugs. And then when you catch them, you have nothing to hold them on. But if you're willing to kill them, you would probably be willing to capture them and rendition them, you know, take them on a,

flight and figure out what the hell they know, put them at Gitmo, whatever the case might be. If you're willing to kill them, you'd be willing to do those things as well. And the penalty would be far less if there is a war crime broader or anything along those lines. And I'm not saying that there will be. So you understand what I'm saying? Like killing these drug boats doesn't really make sense when capturing them could yield more intel, could yield more information. And I'm not saying that that's the case in there. No, I get what you're saying theoretically, what it could lead to.

And yes, it can yield you some more intelligence, but it's still going to be limited intelligence because they're not, the cartel doesn't use like their generals to do the transport. You know, it's, these are the expendable fish that they send. So will they be able to give you information on future transports and, and locations and refueling points? Yeah, you'll get that information from them. But I would imagine that the Navy already has that information, you know, all the drop points, the refueling points, the boats. So yes, technically you could get more intel, but I don't think it's intel that is, I don't think it's intelligence they don't already have. Yeah, the drug boats. I mean, that was just an example.

I came up with on my head. And like you said, these are the low level guys. Most of them probably are just like, hey, you want to make an extra 500 bucks. Go run this over there. You know, run this to that island and somebody will meet you and pick it up. So yeah. From a strategic standpoint, when I was looking at like, why, why hit the one on, on shore? You know what I mean?

That's, you know, I was 100% with you because I was just like that, that one, that's the risk, the risk versus reward on that. You know, you're going to. Well, it's in the oil and soil I was just like that. And that's immediately through the red flag for me. I was like, why risk that? Just let it take off. Because obviously you're already monitoring it. In the waters like you did every other one.

So to hit it while it's docked, there had to be a purpose for that. Or like you said, a sabotage, which I 100% agree that is definitely a possibility. Strategically, I mean, we could say that for sit rep because there are some strategic reasons of why you would want to do that. Yeah. Well, again, and we're just speculating here. But let's jump back into this. It says the strategy the sources said is to dismantle the entire cartel networks, not only removing those at the very top, but also identifying vulnerabilities throughout the organization and systematically targeting lower tier players who serve as key cogs in the trafficking. enterprise. Those operations attract little attention outside of Mexico, beyond even the specific

region where they take place, or sometimes even beyond the specific region where they take place, that has typically allowed the CIA's involvement to remain a secret. And again, so the reason that we're getting this information now that they're putting this out, there's a reason for that. This is information that is either meant to, you know, put the CIA in a good light or information. And again, I don't understand why, you know, Bertrand, who's literally the 51 Intel spies who lied, she's the one that that first disseminated that story, why she would be putting out a story like this that would make the war against the cartels look like Trump is doing a really good thing by going after these cartels. So here's the thing.

And I know this is an unpopular opinion. Don't say it. She's my, she's, yeah. No, I'm not going to, I'm not saying her individually. But I know a lot of people think mainstream media is going to go away at the end of this evolution. It's not what I think we're going to see. And I think this is the beginning of it. Mainstream media puts out all kinds of propaganda.

But if you've been monitoring them since about mid last year, you know, the last two thirds of last year to current, mainstream media like CNN, Fox, MSNBC have been putting out accurate and factual. news articles they have now now i'm not telling everybody it's okay to go watch them now now no am i not saying that but what i'm saying is you're going to see sometime after midterms you're going to see the the the smith mont modernization act is going to be repealed and the reason i think that this is going to happen and then i and i actually don't think it's a bad thing is you're going to see mainstream media turn into what it was supposed to be like accurate honest news reporting there's always going to be some bias that's natural and the reason that this is good it's going to force

alt media the world that we operate in to also become more accurate it's going to force alt media to become a little bit more professional with the reporting and the reason that this is good is it creates a balance if mainstream decides to go back to its old roots all media is going to launch. If Alt Media doesn't get with the program and become more professional and provide more receipts, it's going to lose its base back to the, you know, to mainstream. So I think this is going to be something that is going to make the environment, you know, much better. Most of the audience that likes Alt Media is going to stay here. A lot of the, the audience, you know, which is unfortunately the majority that, you know, watches mainstream. They'll continue to do that. But I think

what we're seeing here is I think we're starting to see the unraveling and capture of Main media. We're on the last days of the mockingbird media. I don't know, man. I think it goes back to its old self. I don't think it's any, I don't think it's redeemable. I think there's too much manipulation from intelligence and think tanks that are run by intelligence that put out information as authoritative sources that they're just going to piggyback off it. I do agree that we've seen a little bit more, at least non-bodies. highest, you know, like level reporting. CBS is one that I've noticed a lot.

But again, that could have a lot to do with Trump's lawsuits and, you know, holding them accountable. The 60 minutes thing with Kamala Harris was a big deal. Going after the BBC for the, the J6 story documentary that they put out, that one's going to have a big deal as well. But ultimately, it's until the globalist in the Pretorian Guard, intelligence communities are dismantled or at least held accountable,

And I still, even then, I don't think it goes away. I think it, in fact, I think it's going to expand. Now, you can make an argument for that, there, Alpha, that the, they're starting to realize that the bread and butter of the information war rests in our alternative media. And so they're, they're deviating into the alternative media. They're getting, yeah, this goes all the way back to when Elon made the announcement that he was. was going to purchase X. There was a huge, huge influx of operatives that came into the alt media world because of exactly what you're describing.

Right. And so perhaps my point was that perhaps the move into the alternative media is taking away the resources from the mainstream and they're just kind of going with the facts now. They don't have anybody pushing them into a particular direction. You got to remember they're losing the funding. Oh yeah, big time. You know, USAID got exposed, national endowment for democracy got exposed. Now we find out SPLC, you know, got exposed. That's going to impact them. But I will say this, and I'm not going to say more than this, you know, somebody that has constant conversations with our president is aware and on a mission that they are going to, you know, get that Smith Modernization Act repealed. It's going to happen, folks. And, and, and that is a very good thing. But you wouldn't have to do that if you knew that mainstream media was going to not be around anymore.

And so if you're repealing it, you're repealing it because you know it's not going away. All right. So just a couple more things from this article. Again, I don't know what to make of this, whether it's a legitimate war against the cartels, whether it's the CIA taking out the opposition to make way for their organization, their cartel, the CIA cartel to continue. Who knows? but it does mention here and this is the first i've heard this uh not that these guys were cia but that they were the ground branch uh last month two u.s embassy officials who were also cia operatives were killed

in a car accident in chihuahua they and two additional cia operatives had taken part in a raid on a meth lab earlier that day um all four of those c i operatives were members of the ground branch now i mean i knew that they were cia we knew that the day we read that article i did not know that they were part of this, you know, elite ground branching that that's kind of interesting. But that's all I've got on that. It just, it's, when it's Bertrand, I can't. If it was anybody else besides her writing that, I might be like, okay, this is interesting. But when she writes it, I'm like, this is not full blown.

There's a reason that she's writing something that makes Trump look favorable in his war against the cartels. And I don't know what it is. I'm with you. I'm with, listen, I mean you align on this more than what people are probably interpreting. I'm just offering, you know, other perspectives. And I did see someone in the chat say, you know, Smith, Matt. Oh, Wolf Barney says, unfortunately Smithmont isn't going away. I'm willing to bet you on that one, Wolf.

We can do a bet. If you're up for a bet, Wolf, and we'll make it a fun one, if by the time Trump leaves off, in 2028, assuming he leaves office in 2028, if the Smith-Munt Act is still in existence, then I will buy you your GART ticket for the next GART following his presidency. But if it is repealed in some capacity to where it's gone, then you have to sponsor a Badlander's Gart ticket. So you let me know if you want to take up that that bet wolf. Damn. That is a bold. That's a bold bet right there. All right. Speaking of Gart, we've got Gart Deadwood. Oh, oh, let's do it the right way. We've got Gart Deadwood June 25th through the 28th.

Badlands Media is heading back to Deadwood for the 12th stop on the Great American Restoration Tour, whether you're attending in person or virtually a Gart veteran or a Gart Virgin, Virgin. There's something for everyone. Early bird prices for virtual tickets are available through May 15th. Merch packages are also available for both in person or virtual ticket holders. Get your Gart 12 tickets today at badlandsmedia.tv slash events. And Deadwood is always a good one. There was another rant that came in. Mr. Mad Fox says Alpha. My first rant was referring to Alpha thinks the exclamation tells you're a bot slash outside the U.S. You have the same exclamation.

I'm in Indiana. Where are you? That's, you've misinterpreted that. The exclamation doesn't tell you anything. When there's a shield that's there, that shield tells you that the person is, well, before it was, you got the, it was you're using a VPN. But now if you have that shield, that means that that connection is not coming through US connection. And a lot of times that's very consistent with when you scroll down to the bottom of

thing, you can bring up that image where they use mine. It's nothing private, so I'm not worried about it. If you go to the bottom, a lot of times it'll tell you through what app store that you'll see. As a matter of fact, we even brought a, so up there where it says if you scroll down to or says account based in and then you see the little circle thing that's over there, that little circle thing will tell you, you know, it's whatever the case may be. And a lot of people do photo edits on that's up too. So make sure you go and actually click that icon yourself. You can go to your account or my account and do it. But when you see the shield, the shield is referenced on them that's not US base. Why did I get logged out of X? Here, I'll do it for you. That's really weird.

Like I just got logged out and I have no idea why. Here. I'll share this with you. So people and see. All right. So we got a J6 story that I want to get into here in a second, but go ahead and pull that up while I try and log myself back into X because this is really weird. So when you go to someone's profile, right here where you see the join date, you want to click on it.

It'll populate there as well. It'll highlight. But when you click on that, right here it says account base. And you see mine has a little circle right there. while if you see an account that has a shield like a like a little you know bad shield that that means that is not it that account is not based in the u.s and then if you scroll down watch we can bring it back up one more time you want to double verify it you go down here connected via and you'll see the app store now something that's very interesting too is we have seen accounts where you have the shield here right or i'll say united states here and then down here you'll see connected via the United Kingdom. And, you know, whatever speculation you want to make from that,

me and Colonel kind of joke is that's probably a CIA, MI6, linked account, where you have someone that is opening the account here in the U.S., but is accessing the account in the UK. So you have that. But again, folks, and there were people that did this for the, because they were saying, oh, was it the Secret Service? They're saying, oh, it was an Israel account? But it was Photoshop because people go screenshot people's accounts, take one from another one, put it on there.

So I tell everybody, if you see it, grab the handle, verify it yourself because there are people that are also trying to manipulate that. Okay. Well, that was a very, very long explanation. All right, let's hit a sponsor. Did you see the J6 story that just? Just because that is a very easy, quick way to identify bots. Okay. So I wanted to make sure people understood how to do it.

All right. And I don't know why I got logged out. But let's hit that sponsor and then we'll get right back into the, the end of the news and there we go all right guys have you tried 1775 coffee yet now is your chance the 1775 starter kit just dropped with only a thousand units available you're getting the bold dark roast that hits hard the smooth medium roast and the vitality mushroom coffee for clean energy and laser focus with no crash all single origin small batch toxin free and mold free plus you're also getting the gold spoon clip because freedom isn't scooped with plastic

So I want to get into this story. And this is from, you know, Steve Baker and Joseph Hanneman put this story out on Veritas Regnatt. This is the new outlet that Baker is, did he start this? I think he actually started this in response to the Blaze Media firing and then the lawsuit and everything else. Are you tracking on that? I am. I am not sure, man. I'm not sure.

So I read this this morning. And it's interesting. It's not, it's not like anything crazy explosive, but there was something to the very end that really caught my attention about an infectious problem that we're finding in the U.S. Capitol Police. So it says a whistleblower report references the first concrete evidence that January 6 was on some levels, on some levels, a planned disaster with a goal of sacking chief Steve Sund, elevating then assistant chief, Yogananda Pitman. and deputy chief Sean Gallagher and consolidating the USCP intelligence division and under Democrat control. Don't disagree with anything mentioned there. I'm 100% on board with all of those things. The whistleblower letter written by a senior law enforcement official with firsthand knowledge of the events in the department prior to on and after J6,

alleged that senior capital police leaders conspired with Democrats in Congress to create the conditions for a January 6 disaster. Now, Pittman was apparently, was a parent planned. Her apparent planned elevation to chief was engineered by key Democrat officials in the House and the Senate, according to the whistleblower. Gus Papathanasu, chairman of the U.S. Capitol Police Labor Committee, said, quote, it sounds to me like they planned on stabbing sun in the back and kicking them to the curb. If true, they should all be held accountable. officers and civilians died on J6. More than 100 officers were injured as a result of Pittman and Gallagher's failures on J6,

and they were never held accountable for their incompetence. In fact, they were rewarded for it. The primary evidence of foreknowledge is a phone message allegedly sent by U.S. Capitol Police Sergeant Lawrence J. Cook to his superior deputy chief Gallagher. Sources say that this message had been in the possession of the now defunct J6 select committee. Now that's interesting. We don't get much sauce on the phone call and the message. But the fact that the J6 sham committee had it and didn't disclose it is interesting.

The message was again discovered in December of 2025 by an investigator for the new GOP House Select subcommittee, led by Barry Loudermilk. Stor says just prior to J6, Pittman was not happy about being assigned to handle a rumored threat that an airliner would crash into the U.S. Capitol in retaliation. for the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani. That threat was eventually deemed not credible. Now, Pittman was unhappy about that tasking, but when she felt she had something big to look forward to on January 6th, according to sources, a text message sent from Cook to Gallagher at or prior to 930, stated that Pittman was, quote, excited about taking over for Sund today, end quote.

Sun said, quote, the way I remember it, she was described as being given. kitty. Now, again, they're not giving us the actual conversation. So there could be more to this, but, you know, just saying that Pittman was excited to take over for Sund, that doesn't get there for me. But it is interesting, you know, that these chief son is talking about this, the committee's talking about this saying this is a big deal. We don't know the full contents of this message. And so I'm very curious about that. Cook is now an assistant, Sergeant. at arms for the U.S. House failing upwards. And Gallagher just announced his retirement from the Capitol Police in May. An investigator with the subcommittee confirmed the existence of the

message to Cook that Cook sent to Gallagher saying it's quote unquote nuclear. Again, what's the message? I want to know. Cochram said that the, Cochram's the investigator, by the way, that found it out. Cockerum said that the news outlet or asked the news outlet not to publish the story on the news for two weeks saying that it would jeopardize the subcommittee's efforts to secure transcribed interview witnesses of key witnesses. Cochram declined to release a copy of the evidence but said that he would consider releasing the text from them communique. After several weeks, however, he stopped responding to calls and messages. So that's one of the reasons I want to bring this up. So one of the things that we saw Alpha during

the J6 sham committee was they would release transcripts instead of the actual video. Same with the the Ben-Hur or the Robert Her Ben-Hur, the Robert-Her investigation, right? We got the transcripts of Joe Biden. But the problem with transcripts is first and foremost, they can be doctored. You can take stuff out. You can add stuff in. You can do whatever you want to them. Nothing is like hearing the voice, although even that's going by the wayside.

Did you see X now and manipulate voices? They announced that like Elon announced that this morning. It would not just text though. I know, I know, but, but X, Grock announced it this morning. I know it's been, you could do it for a while. Zach Payne actually didn't sing that song. They, uh, I, frankly so much, don't sing the J, the doctor. Don't root it for me.

Zach sing that song. Don't, don't be that guy. No, uh, right around when the AI first started coming out, they had already had one where there's a select amount of celebrity voices. Now you could tell. it was their voice but you could tell it was altered you know AI but right when they did right when they came out of the gate it was just like there's a matter of time before this gets perfected which that's a whole another conversation on how law enforcement has to adapt to that so does the judicial system and so my point in bringing that up is don't just release the transcripts don't be like the J6 sham committee that we despise and that we hate and that the reason we we implemented this committee and gave it our blessing to do. do this is because we want the truth. If you have this recording, put it out in the public in its original form, don't, don't just give us a transcript. But then they completely ghosted.

I think, you know, I think this is, you know, they completely ghosted them because of the blaze media lawsuits behind the, uh, the CIA of security guard or whatever that case might be. Anyways, the whistleblower letter alleges a conspiracy within the United States Capitol police to withhold key intelligence from chief son and most of the police force, creating a false sense that it was no different than a Make America Great Again rally. It was no different than a normal MAGA rally. We, of course, already know all of this. Pitman repeatedly claimed that she shared intelligence bulletin known as a 21 TD 159 with top capital police commanders and relevant officials in Congress, oversight officials, but that was not true, according to the whistleblower.

The whistleblower said the Senate investigators knew that Pittman never distributed the game changing report, but that she was never called on to correct her original potentially perjured testimony given to Congress. And then the last thing, and this is the key for me, is the, right here. Gallagher retired in April. Earlier it says May, but he probably announced it in April and actually retired in May. Gallagher retired in April less than a year after he was named acting police chief after Paul Mangers retirement. Quote, the Capitol Police Force cannot continue to see problem officers fail upwards, winning promotions instead of demotions commiserate with their actions, said the Labor Committee chief. Now, Gallagher was among a small group of U.S. Capitol

Police officers whose misdeeds led to promotions rather than sanctions or firings. As a captain with the Dignatory Protection Division, Gallagher ran a time card fraud scheme that cost the Capitol Police more than $10,000, according to Internal Affairs documents. Overtime fraud on time cards was a conspiracy among three officers that began in 2010 and was led by Gallagher. The captain forged his supervisor's signature on his overtime submissions. The IA report recommended Gallagher be fired. The memo said the offense, quote, this offense was will be, was willful and frequent occurring on eight occasions. Captain Gallagher misrepresented his times, forged his supervisor's signature on overtime authorization forms and falsified pay certification sheets and forged his supervisor's signature on pay

certification sheets. So again, like, how is this guy rising, not just remaining in the department, but rising to chief. Alpha, you're a cop, man, or you were a cop. Oh, how does that happen? Well, you were, no, I don't mean it like that. I don't mean it like that. Once you want to talk about old is a cop. I mean, it's, I've, I've, I've had, I've had this frustration for quite some time.

You know, I mean, look at the. could chief you know that got rid of me gets fired he gets picked up as another as a chief again in uh another uh agency you know in northern californian thing gets fired for doing the same thing i just it's always funny to me this this is that corruption apparatus this is it does it's not right so that's why the frustration is there but one it subdues whistleblowers because they realize if i go rat this guy out he's already protected by the system So why am I going to jeopardize everything? I mean, look at what happened to sudden.

They fired him literally just a few days before his retirement that really shafted them, right? It's, I mean, it's corruption, man. There's no other explanation for it. That's the way the corruption operates. So is it corruption or is it coercion? Is there leverage that is obtained by knowing this guy's history and getting him off the hook for that? and a progression where they, you know, promote the worst forward so that they have something to hold over their heads. Yeah, I mean, I think that would fall.

I think that falls in with the corruption. Yeah. So, you know, this reminded me of a story I wrote back in 2024 about Michael Bird, who's now a captain or, you know, I don't know if he still is, but was promoted to captain. And this guy has a huge past as exposed by Barry Loudermilk's committee that discharging a firearm at a fleeing vehicle. and then lying about it in his Eternal Affairs report saying that he shot as the car was driving to him when we find out that the way the bullets hit the car, he actually shot as the van was like fleeing him. He left his, he was accused as being a, he accused a police officer at a high school football game of being a racist and a heated encounter. Left his service weapon in a bathroom in the Capitol police, in the Capitol, the U.S. Capitol. That, I mean, that immediately should have been, I mean, in the Marine Corps, you would have.

been dead. You probably would have been killed. But, you know, leaving a gun in a secure environment like that, like a sterile environment where they're screening for guns and you just leave it there. Like, dude, like what happens if somebody goes in that gun in that bathroom finds that gun and, you know, worst case goes and shoot somebody, you know, kills a kid, kills senators and Congress like it's just insane. Then he has three missing referrals to the OPR off an office of personnel records that just flat out disappeared. And again, you can go read that article, but this guy got everything.

I mean, he got like $250,000 from Capitol Police. They started a go fund me for him and raise the money. He got to stay in the dignified or the dignitary suite on Andrews Air Base. So now you see just a reoccurring theme in Capitol Police where these people fail upwards. They get promotions. They get all these benefits. And they have passed that would have gotten any normal person fired instantly. I don't disagree with you.

But it ain't just the Capitol Police. All right. I know it's not. I know it's not. Okay. Couple stories that we can get too quickly before we get out of here since Osawa Vana. All shows are why we vote. Atlantic Journal Constitution.

Kemp calls special session to redraw 2028 maps overhaul the voting process. So he made this call. It's not going to come into effect in 2026 unless we get loud again. Remember, he wasn't going to draw until after the election anyways. Now he's calling a special session for June 17th, I believe. It says, Kemp, yeah, called state lawmakers for a special session on June 17th

to reshape how Georgians vote and to redraw the stakes political maps. The first, redrawing how or reshaping how they vote is, uh, in regards to a looming crisis over Georgia's voting system. Um, Georgia is not allowed to vote by law on the system that they have in place because Georgia law states that you cannot vote on a QR code. It was a law they passed in 2020, I think 2020. Hold on one second. Where does it say? Um, it says, Kemp ruled out changing the maps. Two years. years ago, Republicans passed a law banning the use of QR codes to tally votes, but counties are still legally required to use those same machines and lawmakers never approved money to

replace them statewide. A bipartisan Houseback proposal would have delayed the transition to a new system until 2028 to avoid changing voter systems in the middle of a major election cycle. However, the Senate never took up that measure. And then the redrawing maps would go after this map here, District 2, which is held by, uh, currently held. by Sanford Bishop. No, that's the statement. Stand by. It's currently held by I think it is Sanford Bishop. Sorry, I apologize. I should have had that highlighted there. The big takeaway from that is the voting machines.

And going in and drawing the maps, everybody's going to be cheering for drawing the maps, but you're still voting on an illegal machine in Georgia. In 2024, they passed the law and said you cannot vote on a machine that has a QR code. nobody's allocating funds to correct the problem. The next Secretary of State is likely going to be implementing the new machine with the governor. And the governor, they're trying hard to get Raffinsberger in that position. And they're trying to get hard to get Gabriel Sterling into the Secretary of State position. They're just going to keep kicking the can down the road in Georgia.

The next system they'll probably bring in. If I had to go based on what we're seeing in Texas, I would say they're probably going to bring in Hart inner civic. That's who they're going to make a ploy for. But yeah, we'll land that there. You have anything to add to Georgia election fraud? The one, the getting rid of the gerrymandering is absolutely phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal. Two, because for the states that are still going to use machines, it means that they're going to have to create anomalies of theft that are just outlandish

because the way the numbers game is going to look. So it will make the theft even easier to locate and deal with. But I agree we shouldn't have machines. You know, single day voting, you know, two forms of ID, you know, paper ballots. I'm all on board with that. But this is the, you know, getting rid of the redistricting, you know, for racism, essentially, is a huge one. And it's check the boxes. They need to continue to go off to the machines.

And I think they will. I think Trump is when they I was like this Marriachi music or what you know if if Thune you know refuses to pass the Save Act

it's going to put Trump in a position that is going to challenge a lot of constitutional positions and and that's part of the reason I think a lot of this stuff has to be released and this choke point of

time so that the court of overwhelming opinion supports the move that Trump's going to make that involves our military that a lot of people are not going to be okay with. But he has to, if you guys remember right before the operations in Iran kicked off, Schumer came out, was it Schiff? I always mixed them up. One of them came out and said it was right before the State of the Union and said, it's serious. And President Trump's going to have to convince the American people. It's like one of the few times he's or the only time I can think of we actually look like a legit politician. And I think that argument's what's going to happen here in the next few months. We have to be in a position of the court of public opinion that everybody agrees

Trump doesn't have any choice but to go about it this way. So we had, we had Dr. Andrew Piquette on why we vote on Tuesday and Ash and I. And we, you know, he did a lot uncovering a lot of the duplicate registrations and clones. He calls them clones in the voter rolls. And at the end of the show, I asked him, how impactful would the Save America Act be on, you know, a lot of the research you've found? And, you know, if we do somehow get that across the finish line, you're ultimately going to have to dump the voter rolls as they sit right now.

And you do because it's bad data begin with. You can't clean up bad data, especially when the, the data set is, you know, millions upon millions upon millions, tens of millions of people, you're not going to be able to clean that up, not effectively. Even with AI, I still don't think you'd be able to clean that up. And so you've got to start fresh, right? The problem is, and this is something I haven't read all of the Save America Act. I don't think I have. I might have read it a long time ago. I might have. But either way, the voter rolls change. They're a fluid system. And you can see, tens of thousands of people being added at one moment and taken away at another moment.

And there just needs to be consistency in that process. And there has to be federal oversight on this process. Doesn't mean the federal government has to be able to go in there and make changes. I don't think they should be able to do that. But like, you know, Hermit Dillon and DOJ calling to be able to audit the voter rolls, like that's something that should be done all the time. There should always be independent oversight. And I understand the federal government is not really independent.

But, you know, if you have a bank, you're susceptible to audits, not just from your own auditors, but from outside auditors as well. And the same needs to be done with the voter rolls. And until until there's a formula in place, they'll be manipulated, even if the Save America Act passes. But he was very optimistic that the Save America Act would be a huge step towards cleaning that problem. up. It is a huge step. It's not an, it is not an end all though. No, exactly. Exactly. Yeah, a huge step in the right direction. I won't minimize it either. It's a huge step, but it's not an end all. And if if Trump goes the potential way of, you know, using the military to, to solve the problem that you're talking about is there's a situation where he can make you where you eliminate every voter role that exists. And when you go to vote through whatever capacity, the military does it you register as you vote all right um mr mad mad mr foxes just ask indy boy 12 we met just last year at westfield winery x is wrong and so are you yes that is

my ex so let's just address this real quick because x is not wrong and neither am i but give me one second and we'll bring his up all right go and bring up my screen oh you're killing me bro all right so here's Here's Mad Fox and they made a comment and we can get to that comment in a second. But I go and I said it never fails, LOL and I put account based in and there's that shield I was telling you guys about that has the exclamation mark. And again, like I said earlier, it means that you are not in the United States or you're using a VPN. And so Matt Fox said, go look at it today.

So this was yesterday. You go to Matt Fox's account today and you go to join and that shield's gone. So X wasn't wrong, Matt Fox, and either was I. Sometime between yesterday's and today, you did one of a few things. Turned off the VPN or, you know, maybe you were across the border, came back across the border. But X has updated itself based on something that you've done or... Hang on, hang on, hang on. I'm going to fact check alpha right here because mine has it.

Everybody has it. The circle, the country region, then the California, is based can be impacted by recent travel or temporary relocation the data may not be accurate and can change periodically which is what i just said yeah but that doesn't mean i'm not in the united states no no no no that's not what your says the circle with an exclamation mark is not that everybody has that what i'm saying is bring bring the screen back up so mad fox is not yours mine mad foxes has the same thing yours has the mind has right now the circle with x with the exclamation mark in or the little i not the exclamation mark but the i that that is that is not the

sign i'm talking about what i'm saying is when you go to his account yesterday that is not a circle it's the shield that's that's i'm talking about so that circle what it described is exactly what we're talking about but so what if you temporarily turn on a VPN uh it's it's it's temporarily turning on but there has to be a second action too i'm trying to remember what the guys from X were saying. I think it's, if you turn on a VPN and then you go from Wi-Fi to a phone connection or switch the Wi-Fi off, something with a connection has to happen. So two things have to happen that will trigger it.

All right. So President Trump met with President G yesterday, and they had a formal little meeting. And we'll play about a minute of this and then we'll get out of here. We're not getting out of here. We've got one more story. First of all, that was an honor like few have ever seen before. And I think I was particularly impressed by those children. They were happy.

They were beautiful. The military is obvious. It couldn't be better. But those children were amazing and they represent so much. And I know they represent so much to you. You and I have known each other now for a long time. In fact, the longest relationship of our two children. countries that any president and president has had. And that's to me an honor. We've had a fantastic

relationship. We've gotten along when there were difficulties. We worked it out. I would call you and you would call me. And whenever we had a problem, people don't know. Whenever we had a problem, we worked out very quickly. And we're going to have a fantastic future together. Such respect for China, the job you've done. You're a great leader. I say it to everybody. You're a great leader. Sometimes people don't like me saying it, but I say it anyway because it's true. I only say the truth. And I just want to say, on behalf of all of the great delegation that we have, we have the greatest businessmen, the biggest, and I guess the best in the world. We have amazing people, and they're all with me. Every single one of them, we ask the top 30 in the world, every single one of them said, yes.

And I didn't want the second or the third in the company. I wanted only the top. And they're here today to pay respects to you and to China. And they look forward to trade and doing business. And it's going to be totally reciprocal on our behalf. So I really look very much forward to our discussion. It's a big discussion. There are those that say this is maybe the biggest summit ever.

They can never remember anything like it. It's, I can say in the United States, it's people aren't talking about anything else. but it's an honor to be with you. It's an honor to be your friend and the relationship between China and the USA is going to be better than ever before. Thank you very much. Thank you. I love it.

I love it. Let them cook. Let them cook. I'm curious to see what's going to come out of this. What do you mean? I don't have anything on it. I have no idea what like, so, so anything significant that comes out of this. It'll be

I mean The news is being reported this morning I didn't have a chance to vet it But it's being reported by like Some reliable accounts that They've already hinted to the deals being made Which is you know I think it's going to be mostly a lot of economic stuff

But China's going to have more purchases of LNG from the U.S. The manufacturing that's going to come You know to be U.S. space And that China was saying hey, that whatever the U.S. needs from Iran, Iran needs to give that, which is a big one because we all put that, you know, speculation out there. So I, I, listen, Trump is is helping Xi, that, you know, the whole sovereign alliance to take on the CCP, you know, the, the CCP,

bad. He, sovereign alliance. And I think we're seeing the makeup of that. Very interesting. The Iran thing is what I'm most looking forward to seeing how, you know, how the tone shifts. Not that China has really been too vocal in that conflict in general, but they are, they do stand to lose the most with the, with the sanctions being lifted from Iran. No, it didn't take very long. I think it was within just a few days after the first straight of Remus went down that, you know, China came out and said, hey, we want to be involved in this process with Iran.

Yeah, but they haven't. I mean, what have we really seen much from China? I know Russia has come in and agreed to do mediations in Pakistan, of course. But what is China? I could be not seeing it, but I don't know. All right. So you got 30 seconds. What propaganda bullshit?

30 seconds. We got two minutes, baby. We got two minutes. Oh, no, we really do. I have, dude, I have another show at two. It'll be fast. Go ahead and bring this up on the screen. So, folks.

Oh, get this fuck out of here. This is not Ricky Lake, bro. Oh, hold on. Do you have the documents? Do we have evidence? Yes, we do. Okay. Go ahead, Alpha.

You haven't been following. So fucking retarded, dude. Since you haven't been following the case. I have been following the case. I've followed the people that said she's full of shit. Does she provide evidence of her and Massey in South Africa? Yeah, what does that have to do with anything? Hold on.

What has, what allegation has she said that's full of shit? she's made she's made no criminal allegations against Massey. No. So why are we talking about this? Because she's made ethics. No, no, no. No, here's, no. Why don't you guys want?

No, this is no. So first of all, so first of all, let me remind you what Massey did to our president. Massey and MTG went and brought Epstein quote unquote victims behind them with signs that said Trump is a petal protector. So let's go after the stormy Daniels now, right? And hold on.

Hold on. Let me make my peace. Why don't you let me make my peace? Because nothing I'm going to say is not factual. This is this is gossip, dude. This is consenting adults. Okay, God. This is not gossip.

This is gossip, bro. This is not intellectual thought. Okay. So then all, so then the Epstein case is a hoax. What? Do you have evidence? Hold on. Do you have evidence that,

any Epstein clients committed any crimes? Yes. What evidence? No. Why have you been talking about it? Because there's there's allegations that there's a crime being made. Are you alleged that Thomas Massey? Hold on.

I absolutely am making the allegation. Well, then I'm going to make the argument if you allow me, but you're not allowing me. Here's the argument. Okay. The allegation based off of facts. The first thing is you have this woman, Cynthia West, that comes out and says, I had a relationship with this guy in a very short window after he died. Now, side note, for all the people that do sent for Massey that went after Erica Kirk about not being able to grieve right, that exposed a lot of hypocrisy.

Want to highlight that because they ain't got no problem with Massey going to South Africa two months after his wife of 30 years died. Second, he says that in this relationship that he got her a job with Representative Sparks. You can go to the website and see that she was employed there. again factual so she she did get a job there this was following the relationship with massey she says he took me to south africa he provides evidence of massy and her together in south africa so this cooperates her story so far he says and and this i agree with you consenting adults as far as their their private intimate relationship is but she describes in that intimate relationship he wanted to take it to a threshold she wasn't comfortable with he didn't want to he

makes the allegation that his is his his his his his his verbal abuse as a result of that made her in the relationship why is that allegation important because this is this is the stuff on the ethics part of it that he was arguing against the whole transparency uh epsing transparency act and what he came after trump with this is where the criminal part comes in so so so you want to look at your evidence is allegations from the victim under under that's that's your evidence that's not the evidence was right hold on hold on that's not the evidence i'm saying that's that's the information that supports the story so far that's not evidence of anything criminal this is where you get into the potential allegation of something criminal he says following her leaving that relationship allegation what's that

so all of this is allegation well everything's an allegation the potential of the allegation being true is we we got to see the complaint we got to see there has to be further investigation i'll give that to Massey, he's innocent till proven guilty. The point I'm trying to make is the man that called for transparency, let's be transparent. He files a, she files a complaint regarding her termination. He's saying that her termination was a result of her ending the relationship with Massey and Massey making this call out to Sparks. Now, we've honest, Alpha, Alpha, Alpha, Alpha, stop.

Let me just make this point. I have to stop because of the next program coming up. It's not, I'm not stopping you because I don't want to hear this. And the chat, guys, I have to stop the show at two. It's a thing. We're five minutes over now and you're just beating around potential allocation. I'm not being around because I was about to make the home run point. Hit the home run.

Hit the home run. If she got fired because Massey made the call to Sparts, that's absolutely going to be something that's criminal. Now, people are saying, well, Sparts fired her because of the issues that she had. What she says, and this is in the complaint, is that Sparts was hiring a non-American to fulfill a role And her position was you guys are talking about America first and you want to give this this job to someone who's not American. Now people are also saying no, she was fired because she was fired because she wasn't qualified. And this is what I'll tell people. If you want to say she was fired because she wasn't qualified, then that means Massey used his power to get an unqualified person into a taxpayer role.

That would be criminal. So there, there are, there's enough information here to support an investigation into what's going on. And what I'm saying is nobody wants to talk about that. When the investigation begins, we will absolutely cover it. Until then, you are just buying into political campaign garbage from a total op on both sides against Gallarin and against Massey. And I just, I'm not, we got to get out of here, man. That is just the level of potential allegations. If this, this and this all happen, it's absurd, man.

But we do have to go. We do have to go. We'll see you tonight. 2 p.m. Badlands Book Club Daily Herald coming up in an hour. That's why I have to get out of here. He has to get into the studio. Also, sit rep at 9 p.m. We'll see you guys there.
