Badlands Media - Badlands Daily: 5/20/26 - Raffensperger Out, Massey Falls, Ranked Choice Threat Rises

Episode Date: May 20, 2026

CannCon and Ashe in America open Wednesday with a show packed with Georgia and Kentucky primary fallout. Brad Raffensperger, Gabriel Sterling, and Chris Carr all fail to make the runoff in the Georgia governor's race, which Ashe frames as three people who are going to need the time back to prepare their criminal defense. Ed Galleran defeats Thomas Massey in Kentucky with $15 million from AIPAC and a victory party of roughly 30 people. CannCon reads Massey's full legislative record dating back to Trump's inauguration and challenges anyone to explain which bill on that list they disagree with. Ashe makes the principled point that emotional investment in any of these races is exactly how people get rug-pulled. Multiple primaries going to runoffs are already producing calls for ranked choice voting from both DSA and libertarian factions, and Ashe breaks down why it is the next layer of election opacity being added to an already unverifiable system. The Maritime Cybersecurity Act would bar Chinese components from ports and grid infrastructure, which CannCon and Ashe point out explicitly does not include voting machines despite election systems being defined as critical infrastructure. Trump endorses Ken Paxton for Texas Senate and primaries Cornyn. South Carolina passes a new 7-0 congressional map.

And let's go ahead and jump into the news. The big news out of the day. Thomas Massey is out. Ed Galeraine or however you say his name, Galeraine, Galeran, uh, 54.4% of the vote in a

massive turnout. 104,000 votes, 104,000 votes in a district primary race. It's 20,000 more than 2020 and almost 60,000 more double, double. It's actually exactly double. 52,000, doubled the 2020, I think it was 2020 race. Might have been the 2018 race. I'm not sure. But yeah, huge turnout, apparently, allegedly, reportedly, reportedly. Um, where, oh man, where did I have that next clip? Oh, well, we'll just jump into Harry Enton talking about why. Oh, I love Harry Anton. He's my favorite person on CNN more than Scott Jennings because Scott Jennings just says the things we want to hear in reality.

He's kind of a neocon, but he says some really cool things. I like Caitlin Collins. She's like a more based version of Scott Pressler. She's like a female version of Ben Shapiro in terms of. appearance. I can't I can't unsee that man. Have you ever seen that meme? No, I've just seen her compared to looks wise to Scott Pressler. Okay. I could see that one too. I could see that one too. All right, check this out. Surprise. I wasn't surprised. I wasn't surprised at all because the bottom line is this.

Donald Trump is the general of the Republican Party and the Republican primary voters are his soldiers. And if you look at Thomas Massey, you can see it very clearly. You'll look in 2020, 2020, 2022, 2024 he was getting 75% upwards of 81% of the primary vote in 2020 and today he gets less than 50% of the vote that's the story that is incredible because you look at it so consistent time after time after time and then wow look at tonight donald trump thank you yeah so i mean important to remind everyone thomas massey was the original desantis simp he is the the one that when and desantis decided he was running for office thomas massey was all in immediately so i've been skeptical of him ever since then you know that was a i feel like i feel like president

trump probably has too i think the whole desantis thing was controlled do you think this is controlled i mean as we talked about before the show elections are fake so all the outrage all the emotional capital all the people like i have you know friends with a bunch of um local colorado content creators here and we're in this group chat together and they dooming out last night i'm eating a handful of black pals because thomas he is the best guy in the entire world it's like he's a politician guys like let's roll it back calm now take a breath and also elections are fake yeah well yes for sure for sure um you know i said it i said at gart nashville that trump is taking the axe to the Democratic Party and he's doing it in broad daylight act blue SPLC you know he's he's doing it in

in front of everybody but when Trump said you know we're going to take the power back from the small group of people have been controlling Washington DC for a little you know so long I'm taking the power back and giving it to the people do you think he meant like I'm giving it to the Republican party no Donald Trump meant I'm taking all this power that you the people are supposed to have I'm going to take it away from the Democrats because they're the only ones that have ever it and we're going to give it to the Republican Party. No, that's not what he said. And so he's overtly fracturing the GOP. And I don't know how people don't see this. That's why I'm not worked up about it. I haven't covered this, this primary hardly at all. I mean, I am a fan of Massey. That's no secret.

But like, as far as this primary, it didn't bother me one way or the other. You know, I think it's kind of stupid. But like watching the meltdown last night from X accounts and the victory lap and the meltdown is exactly what the point of this was supposed to do. It is supposed to be a genuine fracture in the Republican Party, in my opinion, in my opinion. Yeah, I think I think that's right. I would add to that and say that I think that Trump is a unique character in that he can take a sledgehammer to both parties. So the Republican Party, you know, there is a long time civil war happening inside

of the Republican Party between kind of the America first ideals and can we get back to the Constitution and can we actually prioritize and maybe attempt to reclaim the Republic versus this is the system we have we have to fight like the left we have to do the things money money money money is the only metric that matters that's the thing that just makes me see red these days because that's the number one message here and you know our our governor seat is up this time so it's not just it's not just the midterms and the Congress and whatnot. It's the executive branch of the state of Colorado and people are losing their damn minds. And its money is the is the number one metric.

However, Trump is also, you know, you mentioned he's taking a sledgehammer to the Democrat Party. I think he did that predominantly in his first term, which gave rise to kind of the Mundani-led DSA activists. What I've been really surprised by, to be honest, is that the, for the first time here, the Democrats had a competitive primary. So we've talked a lot about crossover voters and open primaries leading to crossover voters and Democrats coming in and messing with the Republican primary. I think that's going to be less of it. I thought that was going to be less of an impact this time around because the Democrats

were competitive. They've got all these DSA candidates challenging the incumbents. And the Democrat voters are going to want to make sure that their side of that split, you know, is the one that's representative. So you're going to have less crossover voting. And this is my theory, right? Less crossover voting into the Republican primary. Except when President Trump pardon Tina Peters, Jared Polis is now aligned with President

Trump. And that whole civil war inside the Democrat Party has just gone away. And they're all aligned against Jared Polis. They're trying to impeach him, trying to recall him. You know, you're done. We're never going to talk to you again. and all of these things. And so I'm disappointed,

but I'm now convinced that the whole thing was K-FAP to begin, that the Civil War in the Democrat Party was K-FAP. The Civil War in the Republican Party is not. It is a battle of ideas that manifests as a bunch of personality wars, but underlying it is a real difference in who we want to be as conservative right of center, as if that's a real spectrum. you know, organized people in the state of Colorado and nationally, I think.

I think it's reflected nationally and certainly reflected in this Massey situation. But Brian is repeating the talking points of APAC and we should talk about that. Oh, did somebody in the chat say that or are you just bringing it up? That's how I brought it all the way back around. You're unveiling my experiment. Well, you're withholding information for me about last night's show, so I'm in a hijacker's show. You're prematurely unveiling my experiment here. So I saw this this morning.

I put this post out. Ed Gowleran's victory in Kentucky and Clay Fuller's win in Georgia ensures that two outspoken pro-Israel voices are positioned to fill seats previously held by outspoken detractors, Thomas Massey and Marjorie Taylor-Green. To which my first response was cry harder and tell me when you bend over to pray to the east. Is it an Iran-Islamic that drills your ass or a Catholic priest because it's what you grew up in? Followed by. That's really something. That comment. He's a little all over the place, but also manages to, I think, accuse you of sexual assault from a priest?

I don't know. Another comment here. Oh, my God. Israel, Israel, Israel. Dude, stop. Tucker, big, mad. Sheree Reeve, Shire Reeve seems to have gotten and says, thanks. APAC, Alpha is really giddy about this abomination of political theater.

I literally just copy and paste it, APA, wherever you want to call it. I literally just copy and paste it their, their posts. And that's, that's the point there is that the factions are drawn so hard that common sense is completely left people. Common sense is completely gone now. Yeah, it's all reactive and emotional. And that was, that was the, like I have, I, like you haven't really paid. attention to the primary that was happening in other states have kind of got kind of a lot going on

in my own state and then more broadly here and but but the emotional reaction to your you know preferred player getting benched is it's it's it's disheartening because i thought we'd come farther than that the amount of people including some badlanders who um you know are so invested in the outcomes of fake elections that they turn their brains off and have whiplash emotional reactions and attack messengers and you know spin all the way out on the internet it's like um we aim higher guys have have greater goals than getting you know the then having your team win in the rigged contest yeah i think i mean i think we've generally checked out of that system in terms of the cheerleading uh that's why you know it's it's a

campaign cycle we could have ran on badlands we could have ran ads for for campaigns and made tons of money you know i i you know back in the day when i used to to listen to you know some of those other channels they would talk about how great election cycles are because they make so much money off of PACs and political ad campaigns and all this stuff. And we don't participate in it at all. We hardly ever talk about, you know, specific campaigns. Now, Georgia's going to be an exemption here because, and we've talked about it, because there is an opposition to our movement, the election integrity movement,

that was running for, you know, higher office. And that was something that is an issue. Like, if it's dealing with the integrity of the election, I will jump in on that and point out those inadequacies. but like sitting here arguing about oh he's pro life he's pro gun he's pro this pro that it's like so retarded so fundamentally retarded uh especially when the elections themselves can be you know manipulated at whim like if you have we read it in the book one of the few things that was in my opinion completely factual in the stolen elections book was if you have enough money you can win the election period period which is why one of the other things well

in terms of buying the election. So if you have enough money, you can buy the election is a different statement than if you have enough money, you can win the election. Fair enough. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Semantics, but I, I, are you all correct? No, do you want to do this because we can do it?

The underlying, the underlying premise is that money. No, I know, but I think we need to make the distinction for the audience. The, the, the, the, the, the, the dispute, the reason I'm having the, the face that I had when you said that is that we're living that here, right? Well, these other candidates can't raise money. That means they can't win. Why? Because, well, you need to buy ads on the TV. You need to have, you know, buses and wrap cars and get your signs out there and all these things and all of those things cost money. And if your campaign can't raise, you know, millions of dollars, then you can't win. That's what we have been told. That is a statement that services money laundering

through campaigns and makes it so that people part with they're there's these these are the people that are they're running to be able to steal your tax dollars right to steal from you through taxation and they're convincing you to give them your money freely to help them win the seat to help so that they can steal your resources through taxation and what we know brian because we've been covering this for years is that campaign big especially big money campaigns are money laundering they are money laundering through act blue and win red it's a very bipartisan affair and so i reject that entire premise that you have to be able to outraise everybody else in order to win and i think that there are examples of where that's not true i think we're going to see that become um i think we're

going to have an example here in the colorado primary because the guy that has outraised on the republican side all of the democrats certainly appears to be smurfing and i don't think he's going to win the the primary. So we'll see, right? My prediction he doesn't win the primary. We'll come back and see if the whole big money campaign is, is done. Being able to buy the election is a different problem entirely. It's also a portfolio of crime. And I feel like we shouldn't legitimize that. You know, I'm sure people by now, you know, when you talk about smurfing and buying the campaigns, I'm sure people by now have seen the Ed Gowleron victory party with like 30, 25, 30 people there, maybe tops. Oh, you haven't seen this? I didn't pay attention to this story at all. Whenever I see, you know, everybody having an emotional reaction on the internet, I generally check out and wait.

Let me see. All right. Let me see if I can just pull it up real quick. Here's his, here's his victory party. Maybe 30 people, maybe. And that's being very, very. Who raised the most money? He did, right? He did.

Because it was Adelson and everybody, right? I mean, that is being 35 people, 30 people is being very generous, very generous. Very generous. What's your point? There is none. There is none. The point is all of it's a facade. I mean, the entire system is broken until we take, you know, overturned Citizens United,

take PAC money out. Like, you know, the IPAC tracker that's always up there, you know, and it shows that Gowarin got $15 million from IPAC, or APAC, whatever you want to call it. I call it IPAC. I know you call it IPAC, and I think it's because you want to remove the America part of it, but I actually think it's really important to keep the America part of it because those people are arguably traders. I mean, A-I, whether it can be A-PAC or it can be I-PAC.

The A can turn the I- You're going to silent A. So you're making America silent, Brian? You're making it your, your, your, you're- In IPACs? In AI-PAC, it is silent. The America is absolutely silent in IPAC. Disagree. Disagree.

I think that the America is the whole point. All right. Well, so I wanted to get into this and because I was telling Ash this morning, So last night, I engaged a little bit. Again, you can go back and look through my history on X. I have not posted once about this race. Not once. I think I shared one post.

Yeah, I think I shared one single post. I didn't, I didn't even let Alpha. People were saying I was censoring him because he brought up the Cynthia West like sex scandal. He brought it up at 205 into the show. And you know, at two hours, the show's done. The show's got to shut down. And he's like, no, no, we got to talk about this. And he just runs on about like this whole.

gossip it's like TMZ and so I shut him down on that but it was at like two minutes and 10 seconds or two hours in 10 minutes so I just want to go through because people were saying Thomas Massey's never passed a single bill in Congress well he did pass the Epstein Transparency Act with Rokana but you're right other than that and that is not that's not a flex like saying somebody does not pass a bill in Congress when we believe the Congress to be wholly captured and illegitimate is not a flex. You have to have 218 other people that get on board with you to pass a bill. And so if they don't want to pass a bill that's going to hold accountability to them,

they're not going to get on board with that. And so, you know, let's just go through some of the legislation here that's he's either, he's either written as the initial, you know, as the initial drafter or he's been a co-sponsor of to amend the FARA foreign registration to clarify the definition of foreign principle to ensure transparency and lobbying on behalf of foreign interest. to amend the Internal Revenue Code to provide an exclusion from gross income of gain from sale of qualified farm to qualified family members. So you can't charge a tax on selling your farm to your own family. To prepare a household cost impact analysis before publishing a proposed and final rule.

In other words, we're going to do something in the bureaucratic state. We're going to tell you exactly how it's going to impact you. That's a great one. Not that we should believe them and what they tell us because all of their metrics. are bullshit. But it's at least getting towards total transparency. Yeah. To ensure that all searches that significantly impinge on the privacy or security of a person require a warrant based on probable cause and to provide a right of action for violations

of the Fourth Amendment's. So in other words, if your Fourth Amendment right is infringed upon, we can hold you accountable. To prohibit federal interference with the interstate traffic of unpasteurized milk and milk products that are packaged for direct human consumption, which is, by the way is illegal in Florida as you guys found out on alphas make sandwiches to prohibit federal funding of state firearm ownership databases directing the committee on ethics to publicly release records of the committee's review of violations of alleged sexual harassment to delay the implementation of amendments made by such act to the hemp production provisions i put that one for myself to prohibit

no knock warrants to exempt certain income or of active or reserve service members from tax in other words make our veterans and or not our veterans but our active duty service members not have to pay federal income tax to exempt uh to exclude all military retirement and related benefits from federal income tax to repeal the smith month modernization act of 2013 and prohibit domestic propagandization by the federal government to prohibit the united states from being provided to foreign governments or organizations that subsidize or promote abortion in other words no federal funding to foreign countries that openly promote abortion. I mean, he voted against all federal funding. So to repeal the gun-free school

zones act, and that's not schools, that's school zones, meaning within X amount of feet of a school, et cetera, et cetera, to prohibit the award of federal education funds to educational institutions that do not allow for religious exemptions to vaccination requirements, to amend the Public Health Services Act to end the liability shield for vaccine manufacturers, to prohibit weather modification within the United States. I mean, if I told you guys that this was Lindsay Graham, you'd be like he's the most base motherfucker in the world. To withdrawing approval of the agreement establishing the world trade organization

to provide true audit of gold by the United States in more than 65 years. You skipped the one he passed, which was the Epstein, was the only one that had a status of past. Right, because I already mentioned that one. To amend the Internal Revenue Code to remove Scyte, silencers from the definition of firearms. We talked about this like two weeks ago. Silencers are literally defined as firearms.

Like they're guns. They're literally guns. To remove short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and certain other weapons from the National Firearms Act. To require a candidate to designate a principal campaign committee to include information with respect to whether the candidate is a citizen of any country other than the United States. Huge.

That's something that should be disclosed before they are allowed to run. Congress won't even get it out of committee. That one is still in the introductory phase. To abolish the board of governors of the Federal Reserve System and Federal Reserve Banks to repeal the Federal Reserve Act to amend SNAP, so it doesn't include the purchase of soda, to reduce the minimum age to obtain a handgun from 21 to 18, to terminate the membership of the United States and the United Nations, to prohibit. prohibit federal law from making the manufacturer of COVID-19 vaccines immune from suit or liability or limiting the liability of such a manufacturer to repeal the portable fuel container safety act of 2020. We all hate gas cans now.

They got like all these contraptions. You never know how to use a gas can anymore. Pull up on this, then pull this tab out and twist it three quarters of a degree and then you can pour the gasoline. That was totally a joke, guys. To abolish USAID to amend the internal revenue code to repeal the Include. of gross income on of social security benefits i mean you you pay into the system through tax your whole entire life and then they're going to tax what was paid for with taxes um proposing an amendment to the constitution to provide that representatives shall be apportioned counting only the

number of persons of each state who are actual citizens again to us abolish us a iD to determine the department of education to implement equal protection under the 14th amendment for the rights of to life of each born and pre-born human person to enforce the rights protected by the second and 14th amendment to prohibit abortion in cases where a fetal heartbeat is detectable proposing an amendment to the constitution to require that the supreme court of the united states be composed of nine justices to prohibit taxpayer-funded abortions i mean okay stop stop right there no no no pull it back up pull it back up everything that you just mentioned has been in the second trump administration i was watching the date

as we were scrolling down and you just stopped at 121, 2025. What was his record prior to the second Trump administration? Because it sure sounds like immediately upon President Trump's inauguration, Thomas Massey began introducing co-signing, co-sponsoring bills that would codify his agenda, the president's agenda, as he said it to us on the campaign trail and as is reflected in his executive orders. And this is a big part of, I think, why, you know, we get to KFAB on this. Because the agenda that President Trump campaigned upon is not a, is not indicative of the agenda being spoken by the critics of Thomas Massey. It's more indicative of the legislation that Thomas Massey has been a part of that you just read through since the inauguration of this second Trump administration.

But what was Thomas Massey's policy orientation prior to the second Trump administration? So I didn't go that far back. I will for the, you know, the next show that we're on together. I'll go further back for you. But that's been his consistent basis the whole time. You know, when he says he's a constitutionalist and people freak out about that and then, well, he votes no against this, this is this. Yeah, he votes no against continuing resolutions that we've had since 1997.

He voted yes on the debt ceiling bill, which was not a spending bill. There was no money allocated. All it was was a debt. that ceiling raise to pay obligations the United States had already made. And it included a 1% spending cut across the board, which is more than we've ever gotten before. And he justified that. He said, I only voted for this because of the 1% spending cut. And if I voted no on this and it didn't pass, they would have renegotiated where the spending

cut was taken out. And they would have given, you know, other pork to these people. Because that's all they do. They vote to benefit themselves, either themselves, their corporate donors, their mega donors they vote for that so it is what it is i mean look this was one of the biggest ops i think that was run on on people uh i think a lot of people in maga felt hook line and sinker for this um and i think this is deliberate i think Donald trump did this deliberately so you know no no ill will towards don't what end like what do you what do you think is

happening there destroy the republican party destroy yeah i mean that's the goal right and i know that's going to trigger a lot of people because people are like, okay, all right, Trump won and, you know, we have the branches. So that must mean that the Republican Party is going to be the party that, you know, dominates and we need to restore it. We need to fix it. I don't think so. I think it's a uniparty, and I think that the two parties are the vehicle, the unaccountable vehicle for the expansion of globalism and the destruction of the republic that we've seen going back, you know, going back to the civil war. more recently going back to the end of the Second World War. And as we've talked about a lot, I think we're watching the end stage of that regime.

I think the invisible enemy is the globalist regime and we're fighting it. Hold on. Hold on. New case. Thomas Massey did not vote against the SAVE Act. What are you like guys in the age of AI, you can look this up in two seconds. Newk, come on, man. Go ahead.

She interrupted me to yell at it. a commenter? Yes, I did. Legislation by an illegitimate body following a fake election. This is how, like, dumb people are getting over this. Yeah, it's real dumb. Go ahead. I'm sorry. No, I'm good. Let's just go. Yeah, we need to move on from this.

I just want to just show you guys how quick and easy this is. You can type in Google. Well, this is brave, but you can type in, did Thomas Massey vote against the Save Act? And you could spell it right, too. Let's spell it right. Thomas Massey did not vote against the Save America Act itself. He voted in favor of its final passage. I mean, come on, guys.

Like, are we falling for ops that quick? I think you need to close the chat, Brian. You're much too triggered today. Well, no, I'm not, I'm not triggered at all. I'm not triggered. Well, that triggers me. Roll it back, everybody. Clip it.

It was that one thing because Nukes my boy, and I still love you, Nuke. But you guys got to stop five. falling for these. All right, let's get off of Thomas Massey because I don't give a shit and neither does the chat. Everybody wants to move on. Here's the big one. And let's get into the actual one that matters right here.

Georgia governor primary results. Bert Jones, Rick Jackson, going to a runoff and guess who's not? Brad Ruffisberger is not. Brad Raffisberger is out. And I think this is really good for him because he's going to need the time back. Running for governor is a big commitment. right? It's like a full time job. He already has a job as secretary of state, but he already also already has a second job in that he's going to need that time back to prepare his criminal defense ostensibly. Well, who else didn't make it, Ash?

Sterling, right? No, Chris Carr. Chris Carr did not make it. The attorney general ran against the secretary of state. Neither one of them is moving on. And to your point that you just made right there, neither is this guy running for secretary of state. Vernon Jones and Tim Fleming headed to a runoff. Dana Barrett, who is probably one of the worst people in the whole entire Democrat Party of Georgia, is also running to, is heading to a runoff. Keisha Lance Bottoms is going to be the competition. Let me pull this back up. Sorry.

Keisha Lance Bottoms, the former Fulton County Mayor is going to be running against either Burt Jones or Rick Jackson. You know what I'm really concerned? about Ash is like every race is going to a runoff and this is going to lead to calls for rank choice voting. It already is. I know. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I know we're hearing that. I saw a thing. DSA really pushing that here in Colorado. They're very concerned because the governor's race. No, it's the I think the AG race with Jenna Griswold at the top of the ticket. everybody hates her now, right? So like she's running. It looks like she's going to win because, you know, she runs her own election and elections are fake.

But the DSA is like, we have too many candidates in this primary. You guys need to consolidate and no consolidation is happening. This is crazy. I can't believe you guys are going to let Jenna Griswold win the primary. We need ranked choice voting so that this problem will take care of itself. Like let's bring in automation technology such that we can just eliminate the voice and role of the voters. We don't need to negotiate. We don't need to horse trade and have candidates, you know, and the parties is a big part of this. But we don't need to do any of that. We just need to bring in another progressive technology solution for elections, shove a new cog in that election machine graphic that Holly created that we show periodically. That's the answer.

The range choice voting and, you know, jungle primaries and all of that. That's a big push that I think we're going to see after this cycle. We're going to be getting the progressive elections activists. And it's not just so here's the thing. It's not just Democrats. So the DSA is the loudest voice on this in my ecosystem, right? In my environment here, the, the DSA is the largest voice. But the libertarians are on board with them.

And of course, there are progressives in both wings of the unit party that have been pushing for ring choice voting in jungle primaries and that. progressive evolution of elections, they've been pushing that for that for years. And it's starting to get a foothold here, which is just maddening. I mean, you cannot rank choice voting means you will never be able to verify an election. And rank choice voting leads to the worst people imaginable, people like Lisa Murkowski. Oskie, yeah, becoming the nominees. And, you know, it's we're on we're on some sort of path.

What could be more, what could be worse than voting on a black box proprietary machine, voting on a black box proprietary machine with a complicated system that is going to delegate your vote into your second and third vote and give them weight against other people's first vote. It's, it's such an absurd system. Democracy via algorithm. Yes, pretty much. An algorithm that nobody can figure out. Nobody can comprehend.

And not for nothing. It's the same problem we have now, right? It's just a different technology. This is the first, the first, like, real debate discussion I ever had with G Money was the blockchain voting debate that we did July 4th, 20203. So you, me, Holly, and G Money. And the, you know, kind of the orientation that I have towards the blockchain voting is the same orientation that I have towards rank choice voting or any progressive vendor-led solution to election. is that it's the set you're you're still dealing with public private partnerships you're still dealing with proprietary code and proprietary software so it doesn't matter if the platform the underlying platform is now different right it's oh well it was regular technology cloud-based technology and now it's blockchain technology and now it's you know brain choice voting the the the underlying problem is still the same in that you are relying upon third-party vendors to provide the platform for your democracy, and you're not allowed to check, and you're not allowed to evaluate the code. You know, Clay Parake has been on why we vote several times.

He's, you know, minimized by the Atlantic, but he's a big player for us, not a bit player, but a big player to us here at Badlands. But he has openly testified about how there are parts within the voting system testing lab approach to testing voting systems where you are gate kept from going behind certain doors and looking in certain rooms inside of the code. And so that is that we'll get more of that. It'll just be more complex.

And oh, by the way, nobody understands these concepts in a way where they can actually articulate and debate them. They like the promise that they're being told. People like the promise of ranked choice voting because the problem statement is politics is all discombobulated and dysfunctional. we need to do something about this. Let's shove a technology at it. And it's a bad idea. The only people who like rank choice voting are the people who are running the elections and the people who are the beneficiaries of said elections.

And again, I think it was CSB-C-S-USB-GEOCM in the chat said, not everybody can understand, but it's not nobody. Correct. I was being very facetious with that comment or sarcastic with that comment. Nobody. We can't look at it's hard enough to audit elections as they sit right now, especially because there's no transparency or very limited transparency in the election itself. Imagine how much more difficult it's going to be when they give you all of the ballots and they say, okay, now figure out how if this person didn't win, this person's next three votes count for 30% and 20% and 10%. And now factor that into the top, it's a nasty, nasty thing.

So you're saying that you said that it was nobody. Nobody can count tabulate the votes. And what's your, what's your correction? Some people probably can. Only a Sith that deals in absolute. Jesus, you took control on my soundboard. All right. One last thing on, uh,

pointing out his absolute statement. So I can't play that. Yeah, yeah. It was being sarcastic. Uh, Steve Bannick, I don't get her. Suck on that, Rachel, Matt. there was a lot of concern. There was a lot of concern about Georgia Supreme Court electing two Democrats and that did not happen. Again, why are we,

why are we putting reds and blues next to judges and justices? I don't know, but fair enough. Because Brian, it's time to turn your brain off and put your jersey on. Pick aside. I know, I know. I know the tribalism must go on. So here's the correction I wanted to make. So yesterday we said that Raffensberger's rule about the Secretary of State bunker that they're going to be counting ballots on was overturned. It is not overturned. Kevin put this out on X. The order permitting the state election board to access the bunker has been vacated by the judge. The secretary of state claim that he was not informed of this morning's hearing, which is weird because he issued a statement last night about the lawsuit, which sought the injunction. So ask yourselves, why would the Secretary of State a candidate running for office?

go to such great great lengths to prevent oversight by the board who possesses the duty by the legislature to ensure free and fair elections. All possible answers are not good and everyone sees it. It's analogous to scanning ballots at the state farm arena on election night without observers present. There's a reason that even the appearance of impropriety must be avoided. Why do people like me dare to question George's elections? A better question is, why would anyone trust them? I love Kevin. Pull it back up for a sec?

You sure? Yes. There is a reason that even the appearance of impropriety must be avoided. That reason is public trust. And that is a long held and well-founded position in matters of public trust, specifically, and I've talked about this before, specifically in the capital markets. For the people that work in audit that are signing the attestation, that these are the books, yes, you can trade in these companies and have confidence that what these companies are

telling you is true about their financial situation, about what's happening with the business, because we independent arbiters of public trust have gone in and we've looked, and we're giving you the pinky promise that everything is cool. All of those people have to avoid the appearance of impropriety at all costs because the appearance of impropriety is as bad as impropriate itself when it comes to matters of public trust. That is a principle. that absolutely should be more important to elections than it is to capital markets, right? But it's, it's, elections are the consent, the manner in which we give our consent to be governed. However, that principle is absent from all things election related.

Nobody cares about impropriety, let alone the appearance of impropriety. And that is why people don't trust elections. And they can't, Tim Burchett was on John yesterday. We talked about it on why we vote last night. I'm still mad about it. I'm still annoyed that you're going to blame voters and call them lazy because they don't trust your bullshit system anymore. When you guys, you don't avoid the appearance of impropriety, you embrace it and then you mock us when we call it out. I mean, he did say elections are, there's a lot of fraud.

I think there's a little bit of fraud going on, but honestly, I think them voters are lazy, apathy and laziness and, you know, know we just got to get out and vote nobody trusts you anymore i mean that was that was the epitome of vote harder we got to overcome the fraud yeah i'm so i'm still pissed about it that guy's supposed to be like the most base guy we have right oh you talked about aliens and talking about all sorts of things can we talk to him about the fact that he's the beneficiary of a fake election and therefore illegitimate because that's the conversation we should be having every time we see these fucking people face to face he did say he doesn't know why americans still pay taxes and he doubled down on it even after John dug into it and prodded harder.

He doubled down and said, yeah, I'm with you, but you'll go to jail because that's the law. And dad gum it, Brian. All right. I, I like Bichet. I mean, he's one of the few guys that I actually like. So President Trump, why do you like any of them? Why you know, you know that elections are fake, Brian. You know it better than most.

That doesn't mean that that somebody doesn't sneak in every once in a while. Holy shit. All right. We should move on. Oh man. If you didn't watch why we vote last night, you'll see. So Trump, the highly respected attorney general of Texas, Ken Paxton, an America first patriot and someone who has always been extremely loyal to me in our amazing MAGA movement is running for the United States Senate to represent a place I love and one big three times with a 6.4 million.

votes in 2024 the most votes in the history of the state by far i know ken and we will see him tested at the highest and most difficult levels and he is a winner and then he kind of goes on later on to say john corning's a good man and i worked well with him but he was not supportive of me when times were tough and despite having the most successful economy in the history of our country during my first term and with all the many other things that i accomplished secure border military dominance space force all time stock markets 401k records and so much more which are considered by many legendary john was very late in backing me and what turned out to be a historic run for the republican nomination and then the presidency itself both of which were landslide victories and we can land that there

ken paxton got to back him in a fake election that's that's scary man i i still think i still think you're going to see uh i still think you're going to see texas turn purple this year Yeah. They've been saying it. Right. I mean, that's going to be great. It's going to be awesome to watch us just swing back and forth between the different wings of the unit party. Yep.

Exactly. Exactly. Archie Jones says this is my address as R.C. Jones says, unfortunately we have to accept our system. Ash. No. No, we don't. No, we don't. Disagree with.

No. And then, you know, I said, no, we have to change it. And she said, yes, I believe we are inch by inch. That's the problem in my opinion is the inch by inch is the well, you know, know we have to we have to legitimize and support the system while we're trying to reform it and begging the beneficiaries of the of the system to fix it and make it legitimate if you realize what you're advocating for you like it should hopefully you know light bulb moment of why are we begging the beneficiaries of fake elections to make them real when them being fake benefits them the

most fair question no yeah i i'm with you 99.9% just dad gum it ran i don't want to go 100% uh so john cornin's melting down over that i work closely with president trump through both of his terms and voted with him more than 99 of the time he's consistently called me a friend in this race it's now time for texas republican voters to decide if they want a strong nominee to help our GOP candidates down ballot and defeat Tala Rico in November or weak nominee who jeopardizes everything we care about. I trust the Republican voters of Texas. And more in the gerrymandering or ungerimandering as I call it. South Carolina passes a new 7-0 Republic map in the House must now go to the Senate in South Carolina.

Adam Morgan representative saying of the South Carolina Freedom Caucus, the chair, saying, let's get it passed so that we can have more of those red seats. Yay. Yay. You want to see a story that I got rugged on reading this morning? Yeah, just really quickly, A.O. B2 says, I don't know if this is a compliment at our Badlands meetup. Some people thought that Ash was an attorney. I have to like correct any time that that comes up because that's something that they can throw me in jail for. And I've never said it.

I've never claimed to be an attorney. I'm not an attorney. I have one more cases in court, though, than Jenna Griswold or Kamala Harris. Also, Ash is smarter than 99% of attorneys because 99% of attorneys are fundamentally retorted. Well, I don't know that I would go that far, but they are conditioned and programmed by the system and by the bar. And I am not, yeah. That's fair. That is, that is absolutely fair. That is absolutely fair. So I got rugged on this, I got rugged on this article here. Senators call for nationwide campaign to identify Chinese components and critical U.S.

infrastructure. I was like, fuck yeah. Election systems are critical infrastructure, right? Why is that a thing we need to call for? I know, right? It's so stupid. Senator Rick Scott says, quote, what would happen if they shut down our electrical grid tomorrow? What would happen if they shut down our ports tomorrow?

If we're buying Chinese products or we're allowing their infrastructure to be part of ours, they're going to have the ability to do that. I'm like, yeah, have you seen the, you know, the claims about Chinese components in, in our voting systems? I mean, it's, it's there. It's undeniable. He submitted this bill alongside New Jersey Democrat Senator Andy Kim, the Maritime Cybersecurity Act, it's called, and there is the rug.

It will require the U.S. Department of Homeland Security conduct yearly assessments on the vulnerabilities in the U.S. maritime transportation and commerce infrastructure. So when they said critical infrastructure, U.S. critical infrastructure, they were talking about a very specific segment of U.S. critical infrastructure. Hashtag not all infrastructure. Not all infrastructure. I was excited. I was like, holy shit, they're going to delegitimize all of the voting machines across this country. And then they're like, no, no, no, it's only in our boats and ports because they can be hacked.

Our election machines, they can't be hacked. They can't possibly be hacked. No, because elections are so important, Brian. And that really is where the message goes. Because I, you know, I locally here, I debate a lot of people on this issue. And it really comes down to the argument comes down to, well, elections are so important that they couldn't be rigged. I got rugs so hard on this. If it was rigged, Ash, we would have audits and safeguards in place to ensure that the public trusted that it wasn't rig.

Wait, are you ensuring that it wasn't rigged? No, no, no, just to ensure that the public trusts that it wasn't rigged. Oh, so you're not actually verifying whether or not it was rigged. You're just going through steps in a computer system to tell us that it's not rigged. Because the story about free and fair and gold standard elections, that story is just so important that questioning that story is actually a threat to democracy. Even if the story is fake, you can't, you can't question it because questioning it is a threat to democracy. And democracy is like, you know, well, it's. It's a cult, but it's the most important thing that we, that we have.

And so you can't question it. And if you do, we're going to punish you with the full weight and power of the government. Yes. That's how you know elections are real. If you watch why we vote when we were doing the Atlantic article and, you know, at one point while we're reading that article, I literally stopped and told Ash, like if you read this article and took off all preconceived ideas about our elections, if you didn't take the side of the Democrats or the Republican, well, not Republicans, of us that elections are fake. If you, if you took away all of those and you just read this article, no idea, any of the context, no names, specific names mentioned in it of candidates or anything like that,

and you read that article, you were like, holy shit, well, why, why aren't we doing that? They're like, well, you know, they just told you to trust the authoritative sources. Chad Bianco just wants to count the ballots to see if their information is correct. No, no, no, you can't do that. You can't just simply count them to determine whether or not what they're saying, alleging is correct or not. It's like, why not? Yeah. You know, and that's the, that's the thing. It is whenever they talk about our elections, they always say people need to have trust in the elections. No, no, we, we absolutely should distrust our elections and verify them to the

fullest extent possible. Great. 100% agree. I 100% agree with you. And the, that is another, only a Sith deals in absolute. That is another dodge of like, you know, we've talked about this for years, but how the whenever they're asked about the security of elections, they'll make some broads. And I'm talking they is like, you know, people like Jenna Griswold or Gabe Sterling or Brad Raffensberger, right? When when they're asked about trust in elections security, trust in election security specifically, they will make some sort of broad statement about how we have the gold standard or how elections can be trusted about how, you know, all these things. And then they will pivot and talk about access. Because access is the.

most important metric accuracy is secondary to access and that's provable i think by by you know the past several years that we've been covering elections when you when you look at you know 94.1 percent registered voter turnout in 2020 and then we're told by people like scott presler well we just have to register more voters so we can beat the left like no actually um we know we know we We need real elections. We need to prioritize the accuracy of elections. We need people to be able to see, be able to check that elections are accurate. And you can say, well, how can we do that? You know, there's 300 million people that are, you know, involved and there's, you know, 100, whatever of them that vote. You can't, like, make it so that everybody can validate that. Well, you can, actually, if you decentralize. If you decentralize elections and elections are for all levels, for for local, state, and federal, if elections are a community affair where at the precinct level, you and your precinct are organized and you have some sort of like jury process where election day workers are chosen and you are, average precinct size for folks is 2,000 voters.

So you can verify the election. This is, you know, you think about Michelle Longspier in DeKalb County. It was that fraud, and I say fraud. Oh, this is a mistake and human error and whatever was determined because of the local reporting about the precinct. There was no votes for her. Well, hang on a second. I voted for myself. Right?

Like there was, so the way that you centralization creates complexity and complexity and breeds and hides corruption. The way that you combat that is to decentralize and put the power back in the hands of the people. We can't do this. I'm actually going to a hand counting training on Friday with the local mountain. state's bad bad lander group we're all doing hand counting training on friday and um that's that's what it's going to take it's going to take decentralization it's going to take the people artsy joan had come back so well how are we change it if it's not inch by inch i think we change it radically and i think we change it by the people taking it back but we've got to have solutions and people can't

have got to stop waiting for a savior um there was something i was going to add to that i can't remember oh do you know speaking of michel long spears do you know the only county that brad raffensburg one in Georgia. DeKalb? DeKalb County. Nice. The only county that he won was DeKalb. I think every other county he was in third. Okay. So everybody in DeKalb, check your precinct results. Just again, with the whole, you know, kind of dialogue that we just had there about our elections, let's read on. The Maritime Cybersecurity Act will require the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to conduct to conduct yearly assessments on the vulnerabilities in the U.S. maritime transportation and commerce infrastructure quote we've got to make sure our elections is safe oh no wait our grid is

safe we've got to make sure everything about this election is safe nope not elections again we know that they've already you know had a variety of ways that they've hacked into our elections is nope into our port system again like this is critical infrastructure let's make it across the board if it's critical infrastructure we should not have any foreign components inside of it how do we make sure we get everybody together to make sure that we don't have china assets in our grid in our infrastructure. Well, you ban technology when it's unnecessary. And in elections, it's unnecessary.

So we can land that at that. Agreed. And let's go ahead and- All shows are why we vote now. Yeah. Well, we're actually gonna turn this into all shows our Badlands Book Club where we're covering the creature from Jekyll Island.

So- Painful endeavor, isn't it? It is. It is. It's like, I know that it knew, from from noon to one and then probably for about 45 minutes afterwards on thursdays i'm going to be pissed off just the expected state of affairs no but it's like kind of a good pissed off though because you know we're getting this out there to people right and and we've had a

good turnout on that show so that's that's a good thing that's a good thing more people need to see that um so and by the way thomas massey tried to repeal the federal reserve act never made it out of committee, of course, of course. I'd date you, Brian. What'd you say? I said he's not going to date you. Oh, I don't, I don't care. Here's your not going to be in the border phone.

Talking about, talking about the China fraud. You know, our nation confronts one of the fastest growing and largest financial threats facing Americans. The industrial scale scam and fraud ecosystem. fueled by China and enabled by corruption, weak governance, and illicit finance in Southeast Asia. In 2024, Americans lost at least $10 billion to these scams. That's $10 billion with a B. These victims are our families, neighbors, and friends, and they are being ripped off by sophisticated criminal networks linked to China. These criminal organizations,

are perpetrating these scams with the scale, discipline, and adaptability of multinational corporations. This morning, the Select Committee relief. All right. So there's a reason I played that, by the way, and I got to adjust my stand here. It's getting a little screwy on me. So President Trump signs a new executive order yesterday. So China, by the way, that $10 billion, you know, like Molinar says right there, that is, we're not talking about, like fraud against the government or whatever. talking about foreign entities literally scamming people, the fishing scams, you know,

getting your your passwords, getting you to pay, you know, and with AI, it's getting nuts. Like my dad was telling me the other day, he got a phone call from one of my brothers on the phone. Hey, dad, I need you to bail me out of jail. Can you send, you know, $500 to this account and it will get me out of prison. I got locked up. And it was fake. I've had, you know, messages where, you know, people will ask me on, on like social media, like DM me and be like, hey, can I borrow a hundred bucks, man?

I hate to do this. And I'm like, how can I insure it's you? And he's like, and they call you as soon as you say, like, are you, are you good? And they, you know, they'll call you and it'll be like a face time. And it's only like three seconds, but they're like, yeah, man, it's me. And then it hangs up. And so you think that this is a legit thing and you send them money and boom, it's a scam.

So again, no, no, I didn't. I would never, I would never do that. This is where, you know, the philosophy of Chris Paul is, is really, um, know, could this micro interaction level is where you should really hold withhold belief. I mean, you should withhold belief on a lot of levels, but certainly when you have somebody on the internet calling, calling and asking you for money. Are you ready for the big event? What's the big event?

Telegram XRP people that are always coming in and asking. Then, and also just, you know, public service announcement. Nobody at Badlands is ever going to DM you and ask you to buy crypto. Okay, it's never going to happen. If somebody comes in there, feel free to mess with the account. I do that sometimes. I'll get a fake Burning Bright or a fake Chris Paul asking me to buy a bunch of crypto. And I'll mess with them for a little bit before I block them.

But nobody at Badlands is ever going to reach out to you via your DMs and tell you it's really, really important for you to buy crypto or anything. All right, so President Trump's up executive order here. Restoring integrity to America's financial system. Wait a second. Ghost says I may DM you and ask you for money to be there. And shout out to Ghost, who is back from Epstein Island. We're so glad that he has made it home.

He's back on U.S. soil and we can't wait to hear all about it. Ghost and I will be 11 a.m. tomorrow doing our final season three wrap up of the choice. So everybody tune into that. We already talked about it yesterday. Cuba was invaded by the CIA while Ghost was gone. And he's like, I'm in a little spy. Maduro gets extracted the first time. Cuba has Ratcliffe over there the second time.

He just keep going to the Caribbean, bro. Just keep going to the Caribbean. Ghost of Epstein Island. And they painted the temple, allegedly, according to Ghost, who had eyes on firsthand knowledge. So I'm ghost of based Epstein Island. All right. So from the executive order has long been the policy of the United States to adopt tailored measures to safeguard our financial system from illicit use and promote safe and sound lending and other practices by financial institutions. That has not long been the policy of the United States if you watch the creature from Jekyll Island on Badlands Book Club.

But I'll digress. My administration will not tolerate national security and public safety risk caused by illicit cross-border financial activity, nor will it permit risks. to our financial system posed by the extension of credit or financial services to the inadmissible and removable alien population. So I feel like that's like two birds with one stone there. So you're taking shots at illegals that are using the banking system, but you're also taking shots at cross border transactions

that are illegal. And to me, that could tap into election funding a little bit there, it seems. Yeah. Low dollar cross border fund. transfers have been used to facilitate or commit terrorist financing, narcotics trafficking, human trafficking, and other illegal activities. Financial trend analysis have uncovered hubs of deadly fentanyl-related financial activity in the U.S. related to Mexico-based cartels.

A recent analysis of Chinese money laundering networks identified how foreign passport holders have used United States-based accounts to facilitate the laundering of over $312 billion dollars for criminal organizations with human trafficking highlighted among the activities robust customer identification programs and enhanced due diligence measures are necessary to mitigate these risks. Banks and other financial institutions should also be attentive to the credit risks posed by extension of mortgage and auto loans, credit cards, and other consumer credit to the inadmissible and removable alien population. This is something I didn't even really think about. when I was thinking about, you know, all these deportations and stuff.

Go ahead. You look like you want to say something. No, I just, this is, I haven't read this yet. And it's interesting to me, I did, prior to leaving corporate America, I spent a couple years doing a cloud transformation for a large financial service provider that everybody knows who they are. And a big part of their, you know, the kind of globalist sustainability goals have this, the sustainable development goals, have this, you know, kind of give back mandate.

Right? Like everybody's got to have kind of an empathetic, you know, human behavior change, dealing with poor people, dealing with a certain racial group, dealing with whatever. You've got to have that angle on it. And as Larry thinks, says, we're forcing behavior change through their pension programs. For this financial services organization that I worked for, their big domain was servicing the unbanked and underbanked populations. And it was a lot of creating. money transferring type of solutions, how can people who either they're in trafficking or they're in rural third world areas and they don't have great access to the institutional financial systems? So how can we create a bunch of solutions that where they can, you know, give money back and forth, kind of like the premise of the white paper of Bitcoin, right? Eliminate the need for trusted third party, allow for peer to peer exchange. but within the construct of the, you know, kind of global financial institutions. And this is, you know, just my brain is pinging on some of the messaging and some of the things that happened back back then. That was like 2019, 2019. So it says many of those borrowers face the possibility of the loss of wages due to removal or their employer's decision to comply with immigration law,

lending to aliens without legal work authorization or who faces a substantial loss of wage risk creates a structural, quote unquote, ability to repay deficiency that undermines the safety and soundness of the national banking system. And, you know, one of the concepts in the creature from Jekyll Island is that when the banks have these predatory loans, but these high risk loans that they give out, you know, it's high reward for them, but it's also high risk. But the problem is, that they don't have any risk behind it because if if they if they lose the loan they end up paying it out go ahead because the name of the game is bailout yes because because the failing the failing is part of the goal because then it can restructure and you can just and you pass all of it on to the taxpayers

and uh no you know nobody's the wiser about it because you know it's we got to do it for national security you don't want these banks to fail that would be bad so we we have the name of it's design it is designed to do that yeah and so when you think about all these millions upon millions of of illegals that are here in this country right now that are going about getting credit cards getting auto loans driving cars i mean and granted these aren't you know they're not going to the toyota dealership and buying a brand new car but they're going to the mom and pop dealership that has a high risk bank that is buying up these loans or this taking these loans and putting them out there and you know granted they're usually paying exorbitant interest rates but what happens when all

all these people are deported and it's just like the banks are stuck holding the bill for that. That ends up getting pushed back on us. And so this is, this was a very interesting executive order that, that, you know, President Trump put out. It's, to be honest with you, it's something I hadn't considered when, when thinking about the deportations in this country and how we got to get out in front of this right now. Yeah. So he says, safeguarding against fraud and abuse within 60 days of the day of this order, Secretary of Treasury shall inform a formal advisory to financial institutions. regarding the risk associated with the exploitation of the U.S. financial system by non-work authorized populations and their employers. The advisory shall describe specific red flags

and typologies associated with the following categories of suspicious activities. Number one, evidentiary patterns of payroll tax evasion by employers or labor brokers, including the systematic failure to withhold or remit federal employment taxes for non-work authorized individuals, the utilization of certain foreign identity documents, nominee accounts, shell companies, or complex funnel structures designed to obfuscate the identity of the ultimate beneficial owners or conceal the true nature of payroll disbursements. This one was interesting to me because I think that goes beyond the individual illegal alien and I think this could actually get into some of the money laundering operations that we've talked about with

with Berniger and whatnot on on why we vote you know going through the shell accounts and the and the the pass-throughs that they send all this money back to the united states through um i i think there's a possibility that this is bigger than just the illegal aliens uh the strategic use of unregistered money service businesses third payment party processors and peer to peer platforms to facilitate off the books wage payments intended to bypass the bank secrecy act reporting thresholds That's the one that concerns me. Because a lot of us, you know, do things through Venmo and Zell and everything else like that. And it great.

We all, we all welcome it when it's against the illegals. But what happens when they use that same capability and capacity against us? And they're like, I mean, this is one step shy of banks having to disclose if you make a $600 to payment deposit. Right. Remember when Joe Biden was trying to do that? Yeah. It did do that, I think. Right.

In memo, yeah. Oh, $600. Yeah, that's, I think that became. They were trying to do that in all banks. I don't,

I didn't think that made it through. I thought that got stopped. We'll have to fact check that. I just, you know, it's making the case. Somebody earlier in the chat when I was talking about voting said, Ash is going full G money.

And I said, no, I'm definitely not. I actually believe that elections are important and that we can have real elections. We just have to be honest about them. And G money doesn't think we should have elections at all. He thinks that Bitcoin is.

the answer to anything but where i am most aligned with gmoney is on this issue of we do need a peer-to-peer ability to engage in you know peer-to-peer transfer engage in commerce without the need for a trusted third party i don't think we have that yet not in a scalable way but um i think that's important the other place where i'm putting becoming more aligned with gmoney is this concept of domestication and i and i i go i get a little bit more doomed out during election you and it's been a pattern since 2020 because I want more from the American people. I want the American people to stop the second people, their favorite person announces a run for an office. They turn their brains off.

They put their jersey on. And we sort of all of the progress towards, you know, power back to the people, pauses until we're done with this religious ceremony called elections. You are a blasphemer too. Not only are you, Darth Ash, you're a blasphemer. What religion? So I'm blaspheming the democracy religion. That's fine. I'm fine with that.

Yeah, I'll take it. All right. The last two, let me just read these at three. I didn't have them highlighted, but it'll also raise flags on patterns of repetitive subthreshold cash withdrawals or deposits that correlates with payroll cycles conducted outside of regulated payroll processing systems, also known as, structuring and microstructuring. Financial activity indicative of labor trafficking or forced labor as defined by 18 U.S.C. 1589, where proceeds are commingled with legitimate business revenue

or transferred to foreign jurisdictions, the use of an individual taxpayer identification number to obtain credit products or open depository accounts where the applicant lacks verified lawful immigration status. Although an ITIN facilitates tax compliance, its use in lieu of social security number or valid work authorized visa may be identified as a risk factor requiring enhanced due diligence to ensure the account is not being utilized to facilitate the unlawful employment of unauthorized aliens there you have it yeah we're talking about um i think we're talking about the aliens in the my shroom vibe commercial right oh no we're talking about the the south of the border one Yes. The actual Israelis new case taking shots at me. I'm in a better mood.

Now we're not talking about Massey. No, I just like calling out your inadequacies nuke. That's all. You got a little trigger. No, I'm going to point out factual inaccuracies. And that is one that has been widely disseminated.

And it is widely, absolutely incorrect. So, we lost all discernment, man. Like we get in these functions. It's not just the Massey op. There's been a lot of other ops where people just completely lose discernment and something that is easily verifiable. They just forget to like do any sort of fact check.

Like use your own discretion. And there is that. There is that, you know, headline, the, the impacts of headline news is that people think that they fully understand what's going on from the headline form an immediate, absolute position. and then fight to the death on the internet for that position when oftentimes the underlying facts are completely detached from the headline and people just don't care they they also said uh that massy voted to censure against the censure of ilhan omar that's also absolutely incorrect it was Corey mills Tom McClintock and two others that voted he vote for it or did he upset he voted no he voted for it he voted to censure her there was one other one that was a big one that that was getting spread oh that He was receiving Iranian money because Sam Maruk donated to him. He's Palestinian, by the way. And Massey is openly against the Israeli war in Gaza. So where do you expect Palestinians to put their money?

Like I would expect them to. And he's a Palestinian American, by the way. He's a citizen. Yeah. I mean, the only part of this Massey op that I have really engaged in is the Lauren Bobert part of it because she's my Congress person. And I had her challenger on my show Monday on Culture of Change. folks should go back and watch it. If you missed it, it was a good conversation. She's,

you know, been up against Lauren Bobert twice, done the APO research, done, you know, all of the things. But that, I'm kind of at the point where I think anything involving Lauren Bobert is, you know, it's just this theater of getting us from point A to point B. We've got to have, you know, tactics run. And I can disagree that we should do it this way. I'm not the man in the arena though. So, you know, it's fine. I think it's fine what's going on. I'm just not going to have a super emotional reaction to it. But the one thing about the Lauren Bobert part of this operation that irritated me was just the focus on the sex aspect of it. You know, it was it got real gross. And it was a lot of the, um, yeah, the, the meme team type accounts out there that went super hard in the paint,

pun intended um to uh to to you know to smear her as a whore when there is a lot to criticize about Lauren Bobert and i have been very critical about her for a long time Trump is correct she is a carpet bagger she was unelectable in her own district and the party decided to airdrop her into mine and we had a pretty good competitive primary going and then it was just over because everybody just agreed that Lauren Bobert needs a seat and i always had a problem with that like why why is that a top down thing. This should be bottoms up. The, the, the, the representation of CD4 should be decided by the, by the people inside of CD4. But it wasn't in that instance. And it rarely ever is, if you kind of zoom out and look around. And that was the only real part of this that I engaged

in. Yeah. Sam of the squirrel. Ash 1776. After looking deeper, you are correct. There is a separate $600 rule 1099 K for payment apps. Thank you very much, Sammy. Oh, so it was only for payment apps. Okay. I thought it was. Yeah, I was specifically talking about the Venmo thing. That's what I thought we were talking about.

I thought it was only for banks or I thought it was also for banks. I knew it was for the payment apps. PayPal came out with it and Zell, which is a banking app essentially. It's a Venmo for banks. Isn't Zell like an integrate. It's a platform that's integrated into your banking apps. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

And so, okay. All right. Let's go ahead and take a break here. And hit our sponsor the moment of the show. Everybody's waiting for you guys are all here to watch. Oh my gosh. I'm so excited. Today we remember those who gave everything.

And memory is never still. No, Gigi. We can't stop for snacks. And we have to deliver all of the soft disclosure gift card. He goes by Zach K. The lotion detector. Fighting over the beer, brunt. I am so excited because I got to see

the specs for the upcoming merch that we're going to be unveiling at Gart Deadwood, a new soft disclosure merch. People are going to be very happy. I think. Are your elbows going to be hydrated? Does it come with an automatic hydrator in your elbows? Your soul will be moisturized. It looks like it looks like naturally, Nikki says, I want to see CanConn's camera right now.

I know he's rock now. Yeah, you weren't actually. I was. Not not this time because I was doing something. Straight your elbows. Yeah, I usually rock out pretty hard. I know. So good.

It looks like that was film. It's totally not AI, guys. That was a big, big budget production that we had to do. Flew Zach out to Nevada and had in desert out there in Nevada. In Nevada, yeah. Nevada. That's not how you say that. You want to sell to us?

Build your plant in Alabama. Build your plant in Nevada. Build your plant, whatever the head you want. Brian, playing the selectively, selectively playing the president. Why don't you pull the clip where he talks about you have. How dare you defy the president of the United States? You are anti-Trump.

The president cleaned that up and then told everybody they had to say Nevada. You are anti. No, that was after Israel got a hold of him. Oh, my God. So the pronunciation of Nevada is an operation by the Israelis is what you're saying. I'm totally kidding. Totally kidding. All right.

So let's keep going here. I totally baited that. That's why I wasn't dancing because I was getting that all cute up because Newk said at least I pronounce. When people who live in Nevada tell you you're saying it wrong, you need to listen to them. Brian is so stubborn. If you're going to name yourself after. a with a Spanish derived word and better pronounce it with the Spanish derivative. And by that same token, I call Florida Florida.

No, you don't. Not ever do you. Let's move on. Florida. We're going to run out of time. We've only gotten to like three stories today. All right. So I played the shortened clip of this yesterday, but here was Todd Blanche talking about the

weaponization fund. Oh, hey, we don't need Todd Blanche on 1.75. That's only OCD can. The president is one not true, but two, it's very telling that that's the reaction from Democrats, because it proves the point that that President Trump has been saying for a very long time, which happens to be true, which was for the first time in our nation's history, you had an administration seek to destroy the previous administration, not just President Trump. Anybody that came in contact with him, I've said it before, but you're talking about his gardeners

being put in the grand jury, his secret service details, being put multiple times in the grand jury. That's what the last administration did to try to destroy President Trump. And he has said publicly, and I very much agree with him, that he doesn't want this to ever happen again to anybody. And so how do you go out making sure

it doesn't happen again to anybody? Well, you change the culture, which is what we're doing. You also set up a mechanism where people that did have it weaponized, have this Department of Justice and this federal government weaponized against them, can apply. Does it mean they're going to get money?

No, it doesn't mean they're going to get money. money. It just invites them to apply. And they make a case of some kind to meet some standard, right? Yes. And you know, there's a flaw in the legal system because this legal system was not set up to compensate for what the Democrats and what Biden and what Garland did for four years. It doesn't know how to cope with the fact that hundreds and hundreds of administration officials had their phones taken from them. Members of the Senate had their phone records subpoenaed and weren't told about it. The system isn't set up for that. In answers to questions previously put before you this morning, did you, you took, I assume,

because what the settlement agreement says, you eliminated certain individuals from being qualified to receive benefits from this fund. What's the list of those individuals? Well, the plaintiffs in the underlying lawsuit have agreed to accept an apology. So that's President Trump and his son, sons, I believe. And otherwise, there is no limitation. So whether you're Hunter Biden, or whether you're another individual who believe they were a victim of weaponization, they can all apply to this fund. And again, it doesn't mean the commissioners will agree. It doesn't mean that they're getting $10 million or whatever was just read a few minutes ago. It just means that you can apply.

all right so this $1.7 billion that's going to be out there it's great i mean i'm not a huge fan of taking taxpayer money to pay for a government that's screwed up by violating the law about violating your constitutional rights and all that i think that's punishing the taxpayer broadly but at the same time making that person whole my problem with this and i'll let you go off because you have personal you know personal experience with this and and hopefully you are going to make a claim on this but you know the whole thing is there's no accountability criminally and i think there needs to be criminal accountability for these types of violations otherwise they continue to perpetuate because people just look at it and they're like okay well i'm going to take my chance and do this and if worse comes to

worse comes to worse they're just going to tax that take money from the taxpayer and put it out there and maybe i get a slap on the wrist or something like that before i handed over to you uh too big for bikes as can kan was dead wrong again when you said the delorean was a european car can't believe he didn't know it was an american car company it was absolutely a European car was made in Northern Ireland with a British investment and it's an Italian design. So fact check me on that. The time machine part of it was made by Doc and he was an American and so you're wrong again. I'm not wrong.

It is a Northern Ireland, Ireland car. To the point about the 1776 weaponization fund, I think it can be both. I think that there are going to be instances where the power was abused against people and there is a court outcome, right? I mean, that's the direction I'm going. I plan on, and it could change. My plans could change, right, depending on what happens when the Tenth Circuit decision comes down, which should be any day now. So it's, you know, I'm angsty about it. I have a feeling that it's going to be soon.

We're coming up on Deadwood and Deadwood is at where we learned that we were being, that we had to go back to court because they appealed our victory. And I cried. That was sons of bitches. Where we were. Yeah, I know. It was a whole thing that happened there. But so I think that that's going to happen soon.

And that will impact whatever direction I decide to go with this next. But there's no doubt in my mind that both local state and federal government collaborated in my case to come after us in a way that they knew was baseless and they knew was false. And they literally had nothing to do with us when it comes down to their witnesses. But they all did it. And they redacted certain exculpatory information so that we couldn't have that in court. You have the DOJ specifically coming in at key moments and in my opinion putting their thumb on the scale right before motion for summary judgment,

right after the appellate brief comes down, but then the DOJ person leaves office right after, just make sure last act before leaving the DOJ, got to file this statement of interest saying that Ash's trial needs to be overturned. These are things that I think are reviewable. Now, I think that there is criminal liability for that Are there also for the people praying outside of abortion clinics that got rolled up and had the government weaponized against them also for parents at school board meetings that were tracked and put on lists?

Are all of those things going to result in criminal charges? I don't think so. I think there's going to be maybe they should, but it's, you know, scope schedule resources and maybe, and also there has to be, you have to be able to make the case in a court of law while. protecting the rights of the accused. And if accused is the government, you're on, you're on your heels when you're starting, right? So I think that there is going to be some of this that doesn't have criminal accountability

for what the government did. But I think there are other things that must have criminal accountability for what the government did. I also think we're gonna, and this is, you know, I have no source on this, nothing to back it up, it's just my gut. And looking at how the second Trump administration has worked, I think we're gonna get a level two.

So I think that the weaponization task force, 1776, 1.776 billion dollars going to, you know, people who had the government weaponized against them. That's a top line message. That's, hey, we're doing this thing. How it breaks down, what the process to request, what the conditions are, how you can be a part, you know, make a claim and, you know, potentially get relief on this, I think is data that we have not received yet. And that's going to be your level to messaging. And I think that's where the real substance and meat, we're going to get a lot more information when that happens.

More substance than 1.7 billion? Yeah, the how, Brian, the how of it all. I got you. I'm totally with you on that. Okay. So real quick, let's go over to Michigan where DeLorians were totally not made. They were made in Dunmerry, Northern Ireland. Michigan GOP Senate leader, Nesbit asked DOJ to investigate Governor Whitmer over $20 million grant scandal.

And long story short, Arik Nesbid, who is running the Senate Majority Leader in Michigan, a party leader, Republican Senate leader, is calling for the DOJ to investigate because Dana Nessel has issued 16 felony charges against a Faye Badon, Baydun, who is a big ally and political donor of Gretchen Whitmer for apparently misuse of $20 million in grants for an accelerated business, a business, program. She was paying herself a $550,000 a year salary while they signed on exactly zero businesses in three years. And so, Nesbitts studies, though? Do they do any reports? I'm sure they studied the shit out of that. They studied the shit out of it. We're going to pay you a half a million dollars so that you can tell us what we need to do. And then, you know, next year, We'll go ask money to do that.

But we won't actually use the money to do that. We have to do another study because something has changed and we have to look at it again. And that is the grift, the NGO dance that is done. So again, love to see it. Maybe maybe when if DOJ even gets involved in that. And so the argument Nesbit is making is that, you know, Dana Nessel can't investigate Gretchen Whitmer. They're, you know, two feathers of the same bird.

And that there's going to be two, two feathers, two birds of the same feather. two feathers of the same bird? Sure. Am I wrong on that? Birds of a feather is a saying, isn't it? We need to have Christy. Christy birds of a feather. Two feathers, same bird.

She's texted me right now. That's why my mind's going like crazy. I had to make sure that it wasn't like an emergency. Anytime I see a text from her during a show. So we have this thing going on. They're probably going to be mad at me because I'm going to tell you. But do you realize that you're still in Christy's studio because you have the lavender light behind your flag it's blue and it was purple yesterday yes it is it's actually

it might not come through blue on the screen it's blue and we had this discussion this morning it is not christie's studio it is my studio and the next time she does alphas make sandwiches it's going to be from our dining room watch watch no you don't don't you missed with christie next monday i will be going live actually no i won't because i'll be with your son out in uh are we talking about that yet Nevada. It'll be in Nevada. Nevada. No, we're not. Not yet until it's like all finalized, which I.

Yeah. No, I mean, I'm I think I think you guys are going to have good time. I think it's going to be fun, but we'll talk about that another time when we know we can. Yes. Yeah. All right. So from the Guardian, US Senate votes to advance resolution to curb Trump's I wore ran. Iran war. I wore her. Iran war powers. This is the eighth time they've tried to pass this. They finally got it through because Bill. Cassidy was like F Trump because he primaried me. And so, um, yeah, Murkowski.

He's a back. Maxy. Cassidy. He is. He's a doctor. And he's like, I'm totally a shill for big pharma. But Markowski ran Paul, Susan Collins and Cassidy, uh, voted against the bill or voted to advance the bill.

Excuse me. John Federman the hero to MAGA, a Democrat hero to MAGA. We love our John Federman now. Um, hung in cheek right there, guys, sarcasm. Which one? which fetterman number six not number eight not the current iteration but number six i support fracking fracking is fracking and fracking i support fracking so here's the big takeaway from this bill this is the eight and the guardian goes on the record and saying democrats are like we want

republicans to put themselves on the record that they support this iran war it's never going to pass the house and if it did by some miracle pass the house it's never it's never going to get signed by trump Trump is not going to veto or excuse me. He's not going to sign a bill that restricts him from being able to do something, although that would be epic. Imagine if he did. Imagine if he vetoed it. And it was like, you know what?

You're right. President can't declare war. Giving you guys back the power. Eat a bag in your face. You guys bought it. Probably not going to happen. So it's just like. Be cool if it did though.

It would be. And it would reveal the, the, you know, K-Fabe of it all. And I don't know that they're ready to do that yet. But we so this is now the eighth vote against this and we can't get anything on the save America act like we should have we should have 12 votes by now on the save America act make them vote every single day. Until it. Bring it bring it bring it bring it every single day bring the save America act. But we don't. Okay. We're going through like like quick headline kind of stuff. Raul Castro indictment expected to be announced today in Miami. They're doing a a Miami freedom tower. The justice department is expected to announce the indict.

of Raul Castro, the 94 year old at the Miami Freedom Tower ceremony to honor the victims of brothers to the rescue that were shot down 30 years ago, CIA operation. Raul Castro formally stepped down as the leader of the Cuba Communist Party in 2021, but is still widely seen as one of the most powerful figures in the country. Now, you know, CIA was over there last week, John Radcliffe, talking with Raulito Castro, Raul Lito, his Raul Castro's grandson, and they seem to get along like that. The reporting from that seemed like it was great. They got along, $100 million promised in humanitarian aid. We saw Bessent just extend the Russian sanctions on oil, on the tankers to allow it to get out to needy countries. I think Cuba will end up getting a benefit from that, maybe get some oil over there from Russia.

But this is the Venezuelan model. You know, Trump went in, Maduro out, Delcy Rodriguez second in command thrown in there. Amani is out. Throw in the sun second in command. He's in there. Trump said in Durrell, I don't know that we're going to remove him.

I don't, we'll see what happens. Yeah. And now Cuba, same thing. Raul Castro, give me the sacrifice. You know,

the sacrificial, I don't want to say lamb, but you know, you're sacrificing him. And Raulito will maybe rise to power there. I don't know. We'll see. It does appear to be a pattern.

and it's you know I don't I don't know how we get out of this without Maria Karina Machado and the other globalists that they've that they've been trying real hard to put into these positions that's one of the biggest proofs I think out there so speaking of the Venezuela model this is hilarious New York New York Times this is times this is Israel reporting on it Israel developed plan sought to have a met Amadnejad run I Iran after how many was killed. It says an Iranian and excuse me, an Israeli developed plan called for installing Iran's Holocaust denying former president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the country's new leader. Having Ahmadinejad take power was one of the stages in Israel's envisioned multi-paced plan for the war. The report said, citing U.S.

officials briefed on the plan. Ash, let me know, stop me whenever you see what they're, what the, I love it when you give you tests. Live on the air. When you know what the plan behind installing Ahmadinejad is, let me know, Israel installing him. The Times said a reported strike on Ahmadinejad's residence during the war's opening salvo, originally assumed to target the ex-leader himself, was in fact directed at the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officers enforcing his regime imposed house arrest. Ahmadinejad was consulted about the plan, though the manner of his recruitment remains unknown.

So it's color revolution. Kind of. You're not all the way there yet. The reported scheme to return him to a leadership role is reminiscent of the U.S.'s approach in Venezuela early this year. American troops captured the country's then leader Nicholas Maduro, but the left the, but the U.S. left the regime in Caracas otherwise intact with number two, Delci Rodriguez taking over and cooperating with American requests.

According to the times, U.S. President Donald Trump looked to the Venezuelan operation as a model amadnejad a virulently virulently anti-israel conservative an anti-israel conservative served two four-year terms from 05 to 13 during which he repeatedly denied the holocaust insisted there were no gay people in iran called destroy israel and hinted that the islamic republic could build a nuclear weapon if it chose to do so so is it to it's a it's a fake color revolution intended to be fake to make the other color revolutions that were real look bad i think it is intended to put a leader in there that will you know continue the same narrative that iran's going to get a nuke and we got to blow up iran and destroy iran sure i mean that's the color revolution answer okay okay

if that's what you're going for all of them is to keep the narrative control in place and the the in the region the greatest narrative device that they have is iran yes yes and they hate israel and they'll do everything to destroy Israel. So with Ahmadinejad in place, we've got to keep pushing on them and fighting on them. And so you're literally replacing one dictator with the next dictator that's going to, you know, buy in. It's going to keep the dynamic going. Right. Meanwhile, Israel putting in the most anti-Israel person to keep the narrative power,

the power projection of the Iranian narrative in place is your theory. Yes, basically. I mean, it's, it's crazy that. it doesn't sound crazy, Brian. I mean, it's like the SPLC funding the KKK and neo-Nazis. It's like, you know,

and Versaac could dispute it. They could debunk it, right? But they didn't comment. They declined to comment. Yeah. You want to, you want to feed your opposition because your opposition keeps you relevant.

If there's opposition to something, and this is the cycle that we've been in for all of time, all of time. time, you know, funding both sides, right? And it's, and this is the, it is kind of the same. It's what would have happened if they had put Maria Karina Machado and in Venezuela. It would have been the same controlled opposition dynamic conflicts that we have that keep the region in this very tense conflict, uh, the region, the country, whatever in this very

tense conflict, you know, the Venezuela stories of, oh my gosh, China, right? China is the biggest bad ever and they're like Venezuela's best friends and Iranian drones and oh my gosh the Russians and that narrative continues and it does appear, you know, across the board, across the game board that that narrative is being dismantled, you know, across the globe. If there is a globe. If it's round, it could just be a flat plate. I'm not saying it's flat. I'm not saying we don't know.

Okay. So financial times put this out. I just want to read this one little highlight from here and then we'll wrap the show up. Xi Jinping told Donald Trump that Putin might quote unquote regret the invasion of Ukraine. That's not the big takeaway. That's not the big takeaway. Xi Jinping told Donald Trump during their talks last week that Vladimir Putin might end up regretting his invasion of Ukraine, according to several people familiar with the U.S. assessment of the Beijing summit.

They said the Chinese president made the comments during wide ranging talks that touched on Ukraine and included Trump. suggesting the three leaders should cooperate against the international criminal court financial times getting on board with the sovereign alliance love it okay can we get everybody on board with the fact that the international criminal court is bullshit and has no actual authority yeah i think i mean i think i think i think our national courts are largely bullshit so the global ones are entirely out of the question 100 percent and that I will go sith brian on on that one so okay uh let's only us oops don't say you have to do it if you're gonna you took too long only a sith deals in absolute all right guys that is going to do it for the show today please smash that thumbs up if you have not done so yet today is wednesday so what do we have coming up today we've got uh shipwreck we've got uh space revolution space revolution general cost we've got d p h i think d phh is going to be john and someone else too uh bb is not
