Badlands Media - Badlands Daily: 6/5/26 - Pratt Getting Robbed, Hunter Cooperating Theory, June Calendar

Episode Date: June 5, 2026

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week with a Friday that ranges from California vote counting to the Ukraine end game. Spencer Pratt's 25,000 vote lead over Karen Bass is evaporating in late mail-in counting, and Chris Paul maps the epistemological trap: the same people who watched this happen in 2022 are going to accept the outcome because by the time it is announced, attention has moved on. CannCon flags the 40% primary turnout surge in LA that cannot be explained by anyone running except Pratt, and notes that Los Angeles is the only county in the United States still using Smartmatic. The GOP civil war produces three separate betrayals in one week: Ukraine aid and Russia sanctions pass the House in defiance of Trump, six senators vote to block the White House ballroom, and Collins, Murkowski, Tillis, and McConnell block the SAVE Act. Chris Paul makes the case that none of it matters because Trump does not need congress for anything he is actually doing. CannCon walks through the June calendar: Section 702 lapsing June 12, SpaceX IPO, disclosure day, Trump UFC, G7, a DC rally on June 24, and Supreme Court decisions all overlapping with an active protest movement. The Hunter Biden cooperating witness theory gets its most complete treatment yet.

All right. Good morning, Badlandia. Welcome to Badlands Daily. Another trip around the weekly calendar or something like that. So it's Friday, which means we got Chris Paul joining us today. How you doing, brother? We've gone all the way around the weekly calendar. We tend to do that. Whenever we bump heads, that's usually what's going on at that time. So here we are again on Friday. And yeah, how you doing, brother? Another week in the books. Yeah, well, yeah, I mean, I guess, sure. We're still counting votes out in California. Yes, we are. How's that?

Now there's Spencer Pratton not to win. Yep. Yeah, and I wonder if they'll do the same thing with Hilton, although he seems to be more obviously supported by the parties mainstream, and Trump endorsed him. so you would expect that he already knows that's going to work out. The Spencer Pratt thing, he kind of just kept his hands off it. He was asked about it one time.

And he said, yeah, I mean, I think he's a Trump fan. And that's like where he left it. So yeah, it's very interesting to see what's going to happen. I talked to some people who, to a friend of mine who knows him rather well a few weeks ago. And I was like, hey, man, your elections are fake. Is he going to talk about fake elections? And he's like, well, you know, I know about the like the, illegal aliens and stuff voting, but I hope that we'll be able to like overcome that.

I was like, no, man. I was like, it's a lot worse than that. It's way worse than that. If let's just take these people all at their word and say he doesn't know, right? He doesn't understand because person like you, person like me has never talked to him about these things. And he just kind of has the impression of politics as they exist on social media, on Twitter and Instagram in Los Angeles, which is entirely possible.

Like most of the people in that scene know politics that way. I talked to some of my old friends just this week about some of that. And like this is not a statement of judgment. It's politics stuff is not the center of their lives at all. But they are still years behind on understanding a lot of this stuff and what it means. So maybe this is a wake up call and I hope it is. The interesting thing about this going on in California right now. I mean, clearly Spencer Pratt has struck a nerve in Los Angeles.

Right. And he's reflecting something very real. Like it's not like he's bringing it to their attention. Like this is this is a kind of back and forth thing. And the people there are waiting for someone to be the voice of that. cause i tried to do that in 2020 and uh was uh severely punished by thousands of people so he so spencer pratt is going to the core of the problems in in los angeles you know he's not sitting there talking about abortion or transgender surgeries or you know all the the stuff they want us fighting over

he's like bro you're going to get your coffee and you're walking over heroin addicts that are passed out in the street and taking dukies right in the middle of the road. And like this is a real problem. And we've been throwing money at it for years now, for decades. And nothing's getting better. It's time to change something. And people that's resonating with people. And now they're going to try and pull the wool over our eyes and tell us that not only

did Karen Bass beat that messaging when she's been part of the problem this whole time, But another one that was a city councilwoman shared the vote with Karen Bass. I mean, I would assume anybody voting for Rahman would be more politically aligned with Karen Bass than with Spencer Pratt. Maybe. Yeah. But you're saying that they're going to take more share than Spencer Pratt does by himself. And it's just like, come on, guys. And then you add into that, Chris, and I've said this all along, Los Angeles, the only county in the United States that uses Smartmatic.

and this brings back the whole 2020 narrative again and throws that back into the spotlight. Yeah, and I wonder if that's mostly in a story layer and it's just going to be used to push the save act. And if that's the case, that'll be very disappointing, although I hope that we can make something of people beginning to discover what this problem actually looks like and that they can't just simply vote their way out of it. The other thing of note, and I was spending some time yesterday digging on this and looking at past voter turnout and the rest of it, they're expecting almost eight to nine million quote unquote voters to cast their quote unquote votes in the governor's race. And that is exceptionally high. Nine million votes is about two more than two million more than participated in the primaries during the midter. cycle in 2022 and the cycle before that, the voter turnout since 2020, as you know, we might imagine 2020 was the highest turnout ever. And now turnout has decreased generally turnout in the

general election in 2024, reported turnout, I should say, decreased from 2020 to 2024. The midterm participation had decreased. And now we have a huge unexplainable increase in the governor's race. So that many more people showed up. Who energized those people to come out? Was it Steve Hilton? And if it was Steve Hilton, how was it not Spencer Pratt? Right. And if and the the turnout in this primary is equivalent, the expected voter turnout for the LA mayor race in this primary. And I know that, you know, you could argue it's not quite a primary since if you get over 50%, you just win outright. But I mean, for all intensive purposes, this is the process.

It is always just a primary in the runoff is at the general election cycle. But they had around 900,000, I think it was 922,000 for the general election cycle in the mayoral race in 2022, Karen Bass versus Rick Caruso. And they've, they've equaled those numbers, nearly. They expect about 900,000 votes in the. mayoral race for the primary. And so again, if it increases by that much, it was like 600 and something in the primary last year or sorry, in 2022, 900 plus for the general. So now we're having general election turnout in the primary, a substantial increase on the primary turnout from 2022. I hope this is not getting too convoluted, but it's like a 40% turnout increase. And we're

being told that that's not Spencer Pratt, who activated that. So these numbers, just don't make sense in any way and uh this is what california elections look like and i'm i'm a person who lived in california and watched this i participated in the 2020 election in california i studied these things very closely and because i saw it happen in so many ways and so many nonsensical uh outcomes be reported like that's what gives you insight into the rest of the country and says well why would they be running a different system in the other blue states and for that matter Why would they be running a different system in the other red states? And so it's really just a matter of understanding that these elections really are rigged from the beginning and then determining what it means that they're reporting these outcomes within the scope of fake elections.

Yep. And the worst part is is that everybody knows it. Everybody can see it. Everybody's talking about it. And they're just like, we don't care. We don't care. We're going to keep counting for six weeks after the election. You know, Rahman came out.

And now, you know, I said, I said yes. She already gave a concession speech. Technically, she didn't give a concession speech. She just went out there and was like, we gave it our all. We gave it everything we got, crying and all emotional, but never actually conceded. So now when they count votes for another, you know, five or six more days and they're like, oh, look, Rahman just overtook Pratt. There we go.

Rahman overtook Pratt. Oh, crap. I forgot to put us on YouTube. I'm getting the yelled at. But, yeah, you know, she's back on it. on she's uh she's overtaken pratt now and it's just like yeah this is people about reject the system man ramen has overtaken pratt now i didn't no no no no no they're saying she's going oh you're that yeah yeah yeah she has when they report that when they report that like uh like i think i saw

polymath now pratt's like eight percent to move on polymark polymath polymath polymath polymath polymath on i'm confusing one of our listeners with a a bet a betting site uh um um Yeah, anyways. Yeah, man. If that happens, hopefully that'll be the wake-up call. But I think that the reason why they delay these things is because the attention gradually wanes and people start, people over time kind of settle into the fact, yes, we know we're getting screwed. They're going to announce that Spencer Pratt is not in the runoff. And I don't know that this is going to happen. But I'm saying this is what they've historically done.

And by that time, everybody's kind of the response, the acceptance of that outcome is baked into the cake. People can't get passionate about it and defend it. And so they just shut up and move on. And then they still give their power away in these elections because they believe that's the only thing that can happen in the system. And we've been making this case for a long time. You can't get out of the system this way. Like this is an inescapable problem. And if they reported that we escaped the problem, it would only be.

only be because they believe that they can ride out four years of this person in office, while the rest of the administrative state just pushes forward. And that's it. So it's just storytelling the entire time. Yep. Even Chris, even Tim Poole is talking about the fraud out in California. Wow. Wow.

It only took six years. I know, right? I mean, I was on his show and he didn't let me say damn thing about it. Well, he did kind of a little bit and then was like, oh, you don't know what you're talking about or something along those. I don't even remember so stupid. But yeah, he put out a post the other day like YouTube is now taking down three of my videos about election fraud in California. And it's like, welcome to the club, bro.

2021 call that wants its censorship back. Like, uh, man, that's going to make him stop talking about it just like it did before. Exactly. And he's going to say, well, I can't afford to lose my platform. Maybe, maybe. I mean, we'll see. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see.

The SAVE Act thing is going to provide a lot of cover for these people to do. talk about these things and then posture as though they are prepared to fix the problem. And I don't, I mean, we talked about this months ago and I said this when Mark Wayne Mullen was taken out of the Senate. I was like Trump is submarining the SAVE Act and he was out there doing it doing it again yesterday, supporting it in a way that it can never pass. And he's doing that on a number of these issues. And I wish people would just recognize what he is doing rather than cherry pick the statements that he makes in support of it. Like his, he made a statement yesterday in support of the SAVE Act.

And attached to that statement was an endorsement for Lindsay Graham in an election he knows to be rigged. And of course, transgender mutilization of children. Utilization, again, it's not a real word. And yeah, no men in women's sports, no transgender utilization for everyone. And but also the SAVACT. It's so crazy.

All right, let's get into it. smash that thumbs up if you have not done so yet and i want to start out chris i want to start out talking about the the war that's being waged not in iran not in ukraine between trump and the gop and i've got several more indicators man i'm telling you i'm telling you it's full it's in full swing totally from the hill house this was uh two days ago house passes resolution to end iran war challenging trump again this is not going to go away

anywhere because ultimately this lands on Trump's desk to sign her veto. And in order to super override that veto, you'd have to find 60 senators that could agree on something. They can't agree on whether or not to brush their teeth in the morning. So it's not going anywhere. But again, just, you know, the writing on the wall. Here's another story from the Hill. Fixed GOP senators vote to block Trump's White House ballroom.

Again, you can't block the ballroom. You have nothing to do with the ballroom. Nothing. But anyways, six GOP senators voted with Dems to block the construction of the White House ballroom unless Congress authorizes the project. They really want to feel important, Chris. They're sick and tired of naming post offices and highways. They want to now authorize the construction of the big beautiful ballroom. The amendment would also would have given Congress sole authority.

to construct a new ballroom and barred any federal funds or private donations from being used without congressional approval. The amendment needed 60 votes. It failed 52 to 47. It says, and then it goes on to name the GOP senators that voted against it. It says, Collins, Husted, and Sullivan are facing tough re-elections of the list. You have Susan Collins, John Husted, Jerry Moran, Lisa Murkowski, Dan Sullivan. And of course, horse Tom Tillis. Husted is trailing former Senator Sherrod Brown in the Ohio Senate race. Platner, Graham Platner, is leading Susan Collins, 48 to 43 in Maine. And Mary Poltola is leading Sullivan in the Alaska Senate race.

So, I mean, they're already laying foundation right there that these GOPers, these Republicans, the saviors of the GOP, the saviors of our union. We have to have all the Republicans, guys, are. somehow going to lose in Alaska and what was the other one Alaska and there's and don't they have ranked choice voting in Alaska they do so that would be the path to showing us how that election result was achieved but I mean what's even the point of taking Lisa Murkowski out of office and replacing over the Democrat it's easier to tell the stories this way because she votes pro regime every time. And whether there's some layer behind that that we are unaware of or not,

the result is the same. There was a New York Times article. I don't know if you saw it. I sent it in our Badlands chat earlier this morning. But it mentioned, and I'll just pull this up quick, we don't have to go all the way through it because I think John and I probably will tomorrow night. But, oh, did you already have it? Yeah, there you go.

So it talks about how. First off, we talked last week about how the big, beautiful bill provided for all the funding Trump needs for the rest of his term. We had played the video clip of Trump saying that himself. And then right here, the Senate is said to be passing, you can see it right there in the first paragraph, Trump's immigration crackdown. Here we are. This bill is going to fund Trump's immigration crackdown through the remainder of his term.

then multiple times in this article they mentioned how the effort by democrats is for optics the effort by republicans is for optics they can't actually affect any of these issues you know they're going to stop congress i laughed while you were reading that congress taking sole authority of trump's ability to build the ballroom the ballroom's already being built you know they're going to stop the anti-weaponization fund well the courts already said he can't do it and trump and blanche have repeated, yeah, we're just not going to do it. We just respect the courts. So they've already done the things that the Senate says it is doing. Trump doesn't actually need the illegitimate Congress for anything. They are trying to justify the realness and legitimacy of their body. They're

trying to justify the need for congressional Republicans on the on the cusp of these midterms. Trump said last week, he doesn't care about the midterms. terms. You know, it's it's one of those things where once you accept what this actually is, all of the rest of the machinations make perfect sense through that lens. And if you are unwilling to accept what this actually is, because you are clinging to the way that we've always known politics, the way it has always been programmed for us to believe it is, the way it's still programmed for a lot of people to believe it is, if you're still clinging to that, none of this stuff makes sense.

It's just one party fighting the other party and somehow Trump is fully on board with the Republicans, but they're always failing him and still he needs them so much because finally one day they won't fail him. None of it makes any sense that way. This makes perfect sense. Like it's time to just adjust the viewpoint and understand what we're dealing with here because it's totally understandable. And Trump is still defeating that thing. It's not blackpilling. It's just like this is what it is. Attack it the right way or it's never going to work.

The, you know, the entirety of the illegitimacy, I mean, obviously it boils down to fake elections, but, you know, I've been thinking a lot about, you know, how this all got put together and how we're in the situation that we're in. And you bring up great points that, you know, Congress can't do anything that would legitimize their role as the legislative branch of our government. And the reason for that is not because, well, I mean, they are illegitimate. However, they could still do. do these things. If they could get themselves together, they could do these things and we would be, we have bureaucratic agencies out there that will enforce those rules and enforce those laws and we would be held accountable for doing that. However, they have a buffer and that buffer is that filibuster. And what the filibuster does, and again, I'm not making an argument for or against the filibuster here. I think I personally have always thought the filibuster is fundamentally retarded because, we are a constitutional republic and those as our representatives, which I don't think they've been representatives for quite a long time. But as our representatives, they are supposed to be able to effectuate things based on the majority of the country and who put them in the places that they're supposed to be. By putting that filibuster in there, you're essentially saying that the country not only has to be a majority in favor of this, they have to be 60% instead of 51%. And that gives them that buffer. Sometimes you'll get to 56%, 57 percent or 57 senators, rather, you know,

maybe 53, which we're at right now. Sometimes it'll be 50 50 with the Senate president breaking the tie. And they're all like, oh, the president's, the Senate president's breaking the tie. It doesn't matter. You're never going to get to that 60 percent. And as long as we're as polarized as we are now with the bipartisan, you know, complex in this country, the tribalism in this country, the other side's just going to oppose that. They're going to filibuster and they're going to keep it going. The only thing. That doesn't require that filibusters, the reconciliation bills, the budget bills, right? Passing spending money?

Yeah, we're all about spending money because the Federal Reserve. We're all about spending money. But anything else, you've got that 60 vote threshold. And because of fake elections, you will never get over that. You'll root to get over 50%. But in reality, you need to be rooting for that 60%. And like President Trump said at the Al Wilson dinner, we're probably 75, 25. And if we had three and fair elections, we would be able to effectuate everything in

Trump's agenda like that. Well, that's true. Just very quick. Yes, but also they could just do in the scenario where I accept that the Congress has a legitimate ability to pass legislation in the first place. And I do not accept that. But in that scenario, they could simply do away with the filibuster and with the majorities pass all of Trump's agenda.

And then if we lost the majorities, the other party could come back in and reverse those things. and that's how it's supposed to work. The filibuster gives them all the narrative defense they need. They say we can't reach this, we can't reach the level of support necessary to pass this legislation. So we're going to do it in reconciliation. Well, what's the basis of the reconciliation? Budget for ICE and Border Patrol, which Trump has said countless times he has all of from the big, beautiful bill.

So they're just proposing a spending measure because that's the one. thing that they actually can do, as you just mentioned, and then they have unlimited amendments onto reconciliation. So they just pile all of this stuff on there for the optics and the rest of it because they are trying to present themselves as a functional and legitimate body. They're not going to be able to do that. And Trump's not letting them do that. They're not getting any of this stuff fast. And it's funny because like people like Jake Sherman, who like he's the punch bowl news guy who's there every day in the Capitol telling us what the Congress and the Senate are doing. It's just constantly pointing, constantly pointing out how Trump has made it even harder for them to pass the legislation.

They have framed Trump as wanting. But Trump doesn't care about any of this stuff because he's already doing it. And again, you got to remember the Uniparty. These people are not actually battling against each other in the first place. They're working together to push an agenda forward. And, you know, the machinations of the filibuster and the rest of it. That's just all an explanatory layer for what is already baked into the cake. And they know it.

What would be the purpose? How could they tell the country that everyone went out and voted for either of these parties when neither of them do anything? I'm with you 100%. But all of that is meant to maintain that status quo. The whole thing is meant to maintain the status quo. And you mean the status quo by that, you mean the perception of legitimacy of the government? Yes, I agree with that.

The unipartisan, unipartisan of a bipartisan ship, you know, and all that's, or a two, you know, two party system. Right. That is divisive on each side, keeps the money funneling in for elections and for campaigns and keeps us at each other's throats over abortion and gun rights and

all the other shit that we argue over. Yes, the entire thing is designed to maintain that. And, you know, they gave us, you know, the filibuster has been around forever it's been it goes back to the 1800s but it wasn't until almost immediately after the creature from jekyll island that cloture to end the filibuster came about like here's that carrot dangling in front your eyes every once in a while something so important that we need to be able to break the filibuster

or we need to be able to take away the you know the president's authority to to override a veto the whole the whole system chris and i'm with you the only thing i'm not with you on is uh you know they can still pass bills. And if they somehow manage to get their shit together and pass one, we are going to be held to whatever standard that bill says. Well, that's potentially the case. But it's important to remember that we can be told they have passed legislation. And then we can watch deep state administrative state bureaucracies

carry out the terms of that legislation. While all of that still remains in a layer of illegitimacy, that does not comport to the Constitution and does not require Trump to go along with it, though he will because he cannot be seen to be violating that government's illusion of legitimacy. He's not the one who's going to put that forward. That's something that we need to understand on our own. But I would just separate the parts of the government at this point with Trump in particular, with the backing of the military and the rest of it.

this is even separating Trump from the executive branch because most of the executive branch is literally the institution of the deep state that and the Congress I would totally agree are working in conjunction to officialize and legitimize the entire thing but that alone does not make it so yeah well I mean most of most of that authority has been delegated to the bureaucrats anyways exactly administrative state has you know been issuing laws rules in the form of laws with criminal sanctions for quite some time and it's exponentially growing more and more. And even then they'd look at, you know, decisions like Loperbrite and, you know, Chevron deference. And they're like, yeah, we don't care about that.

You know, I talk about this, me and Alpha and I think maybe you, but me and Alpha talked about this a couple of weeks ago. Like, I haven't seen anything from the Bruin case. Like where, where's all this brewing shit that we were supposed to get? Bruin was supposed to be. Hey, second amendment interpreted in the context of our founding fathers and. and you know our early founding of this country we haven't gotten shit from that not anything i mean you know what you know what you just made me think of trump is now having the big rally on june 24th he already dropped a will be wild on uh his announcement post of it last week but that's

maybe going to be the uh so we have the 12th next week that's disclosure day the disclosure day the Disclosure Today movie, the SpaceX IPO, and potentially the end of FISA, the World Cup starts a day before that. Two days later, we have Trump UFC, and then he flies to France for the G7. And then on the 24th, we have this big rally in D.C. a la January 6th. We already have the protest movement active because the ice stuff in New Jersey and the rest of it. We're getting a rerun on that. And then we're going to have the Supreme Court decisions. kind of right in that block. It happens usually that last week or two of June. And so I would expect

that there's going to be a bunch of overlap in some of these really significant events where the people's optics, where the optics of the people's kind of collective opinion are going to be on display as supporting Trump while we have the big push for the backlash from the color revolutionists and the protectors of the system. Yep. Black Hat Destroyer says passing any bill in the law by an illegitimate Congress make those laws illegitimate. I agree. Now go out there and break those laws and try and tell the cop that it's illegitimate.

Whatever federal agent comes to arrest you, try and tell them that's my point. My point isn't that the laws are legitimate. My point is that their enforcement mechanism is legitimate because we can't do anything to stop it. Like the argument, the battle that you would have to take to do that. I mean, the juice won't be worth to squeeze. I think that you're right in a direct confrontation with the government that way. And I totally accept your point, and that is all valid and probably a very realistic interpretation of what would happen. What I am suggesting is that people actually recognize that to be the real circumstance, rather than just, yes, the government is going along as usual.

I know there's some problems with some rigged elections and the parties can't seem to agree. and we got this crazy person in the White House, exactly how it is consistently fed to them, and then they regurgitate it out onto social media, and then it's fed back to them in just this never-ending loop. Realizing the illegitimacy en masse makes it impossible for them to pull off the narrative effort required to get people to accept them as legitimate. Right now, they are able to pull that off because everyone just accepts it.

If people no longer accepted it, they couldn't be passing all these ridiculous laws and people saying, oh, yeah, they can rule me that way, sure. Now, if everybody knows that it's legitimate, its ability to execute on that layer that you're describing drops to zero over the long term. By that same token, the federal government should have next to no interaction with our daily lives. That's right. Yes. As sovereign, as individual citizens, you could use sovereign if you want. Some people get triggered by that word. Most people love that word. But as individuals, the federal government should have next to no bearing on your day-to-day life.

And, you know, then you look at certain entities. And this is where the libertarian enemy comes out. The DEA, the, obviously the ATF, the FBI, you know, these entities that do get involved in your lives. Again, ATF, hey, shall not. be infringed and let's create this bureaucratic administrative institution that can make sure that they can infringe all over that right but anyways john and i talked about this um a couple weeks ago you mentioned some of these law enforcement agencies that is a de facto violation of posse commentators that is a standing army it is the federal government and we don't treat that way because

oh we say oh it's a police force it's not an army it's a police force and they are enforcing federal law not even really enforcing federal law they're enforcing unconstitutional violations of federal law that persist on the back of the improperly ratified at best 14th amendment so you know we are so many layers deep in this all of that shit is so trump could call all of this a nullity and then the system melts down immediately and we get like major uh elements of chaos and I think that that's what he is largely attempting to avoid. That does not mean that the people can't gradually come to these understandings and demands not to be subjected to a system like that anymore.

Let's keep going. I'm sure this conversation will continue throughout the show. I think that's a mutual sentiment that we all have. I think most of us listening here, especially. Here's another continuation of the war that's being waged, the covert war, four Senate Republicans just joined Democrats to block one of President Trump's key legislative priorities in a setback for the White House. Collins, Murkowski, Tillis, and McConnell broke with the party to help stop the Save America Act from advancing in the Senate. There's another one.

Here's another one right here. I want to play this clip here. This is CNN interviewing Tom Tillis about A.G. Blanche and whether or not Tillis is going to confirm him. Senator, tell us, you on this weaponization fund, are you, if this does not get added to the bill, could you support passage? No, I'm not going to, I'm not going to vote to get off. I voted to get on it with the goal of potentially getting an amendment done or supporting some other members amendment. So why is this so important to get this, to target the weaponization fund here? It's because the president has kept this option open? Well, even the AG has said that it's done. So I don't know why we just thought.

don't codify it so Democrats are not raising the speculation that it come come back at some point. If the AG has said that, then why not codify it? It doesn't seem to make false purposes with the admin and it takes that argument away from the D, the Democrats. That's a win-win, in my opinion. How do you feel about how do you feel about how about how about Todd Blanche? You know, could he get through the committee? Would you have your support? Could he get through the floor? Well, I think, I actually believe that getting this issue off the table improves Todd's chances of getting through judiciary and getting through the floor. If this is still out there, can you imagine what the Democrats are going to do to that man during a

confirmation hearing? But just to be clear. Can you imagine how that could? Then let him do it to him. I'm sure Todd Blanche is a big boy. I'm sure he can handle himself. Let the, let the Democrats do that. And then we'll actually find out about this weaponization fund. And we'll find out, like, let him speak for it. Why are you? Why is Tom Tillis so afraid of? this. I think we're going to get the answer with the back half of this. Potentially influence a couple of our members. We take this off the table. Todd's chances of becoming confirmed as the AG go up, I believe it matters. But if it's not,

but if it's not off the table, could you support if the, the Webinization Fund is not completely off the table? If you don't codify it into law, could you support Todd Blanche as Attorney General? We're looking at it. I haven't made a decision yet that the key for Todd or anybody going through Judiciary Committee has been pretty tight on January the 6th. They better not have said for one minute that the people that that beat up police officers like these right down here were righteous people. You come even close to saying that. You don't have a chair of getting my vote in judicial. These people have January 6 derangement syndrome. I mean, look, Tom Tillis has always had that. We've known that for a while. But the weaponization fund,

the anti-weaponization fund is tied directly into January 6th. I mean, there's other, you know, encompassed actions that that get thrown into that but go ahead i'll let you i'm not even i don't even i'm not on board with the idea that that is primarily about january 6th even i mean the weaponization was was widespread across all kinds of uh issues and i would suggest that censorship and the rest of that is is probably just as much a part of that what do you i i don't know no no i'm with you i think it's it goes well beyond just j6 that's that's the focus that they're being is like they're like how am i going to go back to my constituents and tell them that we're giving 1.776 million dollars to j sixers that storm the capital and again you know i said

this before they don't want any of this stuff being on the record they don't want people to see that yes the weaponization went well beyond just j6 i mean we know this our listeners know this because we've lived and breathed it for the last breathed it for the last six years and we've we've we've covered Mark Howk and the Face Act. We've covered what's his name? Doug Mackey. We've covered Alpha, Ash, our own, you know, our own people here at Badlands that have been victims of this weaponization. You know, the DOJ went after Alpha over a tweet. The DOJ entered an amicus brief in Ash's case over voter intimidation. You know, like we've lived it. Most normies out there have no idea how bad it actually got. And so they look at this and they're like, well, you know, one of

1.776 billion, that's a lot of money. Well, it's a settlement, first and foremost. So it could be 10 times worse. It could be 10 billion or whatever Trump was seeking in the lawsuit. First and foremost. But second, they don't want any of this information out there. And then, like, here's the craziest part to me is Trump goes out there and says, weaponization bill, right?

I want the anti-weaponization fund. Then he turns around. They're like, no, we're not going to do this under no circumstances. We're going to fight you tooth and nail, blah, blah, blah. And then Trump is like, they're screaming at A.G. Blanche. They had this big fallout in the hearing and the meeting that they had. And they're like, Ted Cruz is out there saying it was the worst I've ever seen in Congress, in the Senate and all this stuff. And then what does Trump do?

Trump's like, I'm going to make him permanent AG. Like he just like, he just reaches out and smacks him across the face. And he's like, I'm going to make him. And what does he do in, like, this is the art of the deal guy, right? This is the deal maker. he could have said well i'll take the anti-weaponization fund away if you give me blanche nope blanche says it's probably d-o-a he's named you know the the permanent selection and trump's like oh no the anti-weaponization it's still on the table it's still on the table we're

we're going to talk about it they just don't know what to do with him he's throwing everything that they've got that he he's throwing everything at him and they're doing everything they can to stop them tom till us well the anti-weaponization fund if that's still on the table if we don't codify that that it can't be passed then then we're not going to deal it well if if they if we do codify that then j6 if he said anything about j6 ever then i'm not gonna like just keep kicking the can down the road keep moving that overton window bro why isn't tom tillis trying to codify the rest of the uh trump agenda and the rest of the things that trump wants i mean about the save act with 87% approval or whatever it is you know yeah they're just not

doing anything except uh attempting to take credit for the the right angle on a series of stories, which sometimes means that they're taking competing positions. It's all nonsensical. I mean, this is, in my estimation, just the discombobulator being used against the Senate and the House on some level. And I mean, that's just generally the comm strategy. And Burning Bright, I'm actually going to be on a narrative with Burning Bright on Sunday. And we're going to go through some of this presentation I put together like six months ago about the discombobulator and the, the like overall trump com strategy and uh i'll try to make this case a little bit better there kind of have more time to do that but yeah i think that he's just confusing the situation for

these people and they are inadvertently exposing the fact that they don't actually have power and and here here's the thing like keep in line because we see the same names over and over again right murkowski collins tillis mccannel uh you know we'll see we'll see pretty much the same names over and over again now those people yes they have t ds or whatever the case might be okay but they're speaking on behalf because nobody in that nobody in the in the gop is pushing back against them right nobody is coming out and crushing them in in the public sphere and they so what they are is they are just the the sacrificial lambs so to speak right they're the they're the people that have to fall on the sword Tillis is out. He's not, he's not running again. So he has nothing to fear.

Murkowski is up in Alaska and with ranked choice voting, she doesn't have much to fear up there, you know, in a wildly rigged election. You remember 2020, a lot of people forget this. Alaska was one also one of those states that kept counting for several days after. And we didn't know, you know, Alaska went four or five days before, you know, they got in. And I think it was kill chain. It might have been, it might have been hacking democracy. At the very end, they play the guy that's like, oh, I was in Alaska's elections. I was, I was in the system. I could have done whatever I wanted to do.

I couldn't run it. And yeah. So again, these are people that just go out there and they disrupt deliberately. So it looks like all the other 46 senators or 49 senators or whatever it is are in line with Trump. But in reality, they all want to maintain that status quo. And so they kind of just ignore those four people that are thwarting Trump's. agenda. And so, so again, I, I still think that there's a, a big time war being raised, you know, in, in, in the Senate right now and in the House as well. Here's another another example right

here, Chris, CNN, House approves Ukraine aid and Russian sanctions to define Trump and GOP leaders. Like, how can people not see that this is what's going on? Now, this one, I think, is much more sinister. I was talking about this with the new newly revealed Hunter Biden. The new Hunter Biden 3.0 or 7.0. 7 years. More than a dozen GOP lawmakers defied their own leadership and President Trump by voting to approve a major bill to deliver billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine imposing steep sanctions on Russia. The vote was 226 to 195 to approve the package.

18 Republicans voted to pass the bill. The measure includes strict sanctions on Russian leaders and institutions, including top banks, oil and mining companies. 500% tariffs on all Russian goods, but tariffs are taxes on the people. 500% tariffs on all Russian goods imported to the U.S. and a ban on Russian crude oil from being imported into the U.S. I don't know how many Russian goods were getting or oil from Russia, but I can't imagine it's very high. I'm not sure the number. I can't. I mean, it sounds purely symbolic, although I think it'd be fantastic if we could trade with Russia. I think I think Donald Trump would approve of that.

I think there's at least some reason to believe that they've already settled on that. Yeah. Also, new military support for Ukraine, including authorizing $8 billion for arms sales and an extension of a Biden-era military lend lease program is included. It's not clear if there are enough votes in the Senate, though, to reach the 60 vote threshold. Again, it's DOA. These are purely symbolic moves. But it shows how contentious it is in Congress. And I think I think that's by plan. Yeah.

You know, the Republicans that joined with the Democrats in voting for this Ukraine package, Kevin Kiley out of California in California is like. Independent. He's an independent. Yeah. Yeah. He used to be Republican. and was Trump endorsed and he was like super based and red-pilled throughout the very deadly pandemic. He was trying to take Gavin Newsom to court to get some of the restrictions loose and never was successful in doing that.

And he used that to elevate himself to a congressional role was at some point, sometimes Trump kind of guy. And now he's just a guy that votes to the Democrats in California. then we had, wait, hold on, this was from the, oh yeah, Brian Fitzpatrick, the representative from Pennsylvania who's married to, I think it's Jackie Heinrich or somebody in the media, and then Don Bacon and Nebraska. And all of these people are anti-Trump people. They were trying to get the discharge petition through the house for a year. And then it finally worked last month.

And so this is they finally passed a Ukraine aid package from a year ago. I mean, all this stuff is just ridiculous. It's just signaling. Well, so the interesting thing about this package being passed is the, the updates we're getting on the war over there. And let me play these two clips here. This was President Trump yesterday. I got two clips from this. The first one's Peter Ducey.

President Zelensky wrote a letter to President Putin. He wants the two of them to meet to hash out the end of the war in Ukraine because he thinks you are too busy with the war in Iran. Is he right? Well, I don't know. I'm glad that they're maybe talking about meeting. I think we had a lot to do with it. I know exactly what you are doing. But I think it would be great of them, they should get it done.

I know exactly what you're doing. and then we followed up with this question almost right after here. Thank you. Mr. President, President Putin said today that he was willing to make compromises that you requested to end the war with Ukraine if Ukraine was willing to make similar compromises. What were the compromises that you asked? Well, I'd rather not say because Peter asked me, I think it was meant as a little wise guy question, but I'm not sure.

I'm very responsible when that happens. It's going to happen. They're going to make both make compromises. I suggested those compromises. And we've had a lot to do with it. We'd love to see they're two very good people. They're two very, I mean, incredible countries, beautiful countries. They've got us up. Last month, they had 25,000 people killed soldiers, mostly soldiers, some people, but mostly soldiers.

And it's been averaging probably almost 25,000 people every month of soldiers killed. I've been very strong on the fact that they've got to get that over with. But they do. I want them each to make certain compromises. I think they're going to do that. All right. So the interesting thing about that, Chris, is that Zelensky did write Putin a letter. And it's public.

You can read it. And so at first, when I heard that, I was like, hey, so hold on. we just pass an $8 billion that's dead on arrival, but it's moving through our Congress, an $8 billion funding package, which Zelensky has been begging for for quite some time now. And he's going out there now and negotiating with Putin. He's trying to sit down with Putin, something he's been avidly against this entire time, Zelensky himself, because he knows that settling this war is ultimately his demise. And then I read the letter.

And there's no like Putin's going to look at this and laugh his ass off. Like he's like, oh yeah, we're, we're kicking your ass. You're, you're losing six to one for the troops that we're losing. And you're not making any progress. And your people are pissed at you and your prices are through the roof. And we're doing great over here. But we still don't like seeing people die, but we're doing great over here. And I read that and I was like, this is a joke.

This is like, Zelensky, you are not a serious person. And so that's why he wrote that letter because he's got the U.S. Congress, at least right now, backing him. It's not going to go anywhere. But the potential for it to go somewhere is the leverage that he has. It's the first little bit of leverage that he's had in this war and he pounced on it. You know, he took that opportunity. And he recounted all of the exact same arguments against Russia that we've been hearing from the mainstream media for, what is it, four and a half years now or i mean i guess you could also say much longer but yeah none of that stuff

is true i i think back about zelensky i mean you said he's not a serious person i don't know if it's the uh the dick shaking dance that he does that uh that that that tips you off to something like that that ghost yeah yeah remember the ghost of keve remember when they had you to perform in the subway remember Remember when he walked Biden through the town square and the rocket alone? Sirens go off. Yeah. I mean, it's just been so ridiculous the entire time. And I mean, Trump said he was going to stop all this in the first day in office.

And he's just continued to let it play out. Most people don't know. If you asked somebody, hey, is the Ukraine-Russia war still going? They'd be like, yes. And then if you were like, well, how do you know that? And most people would be like, well, actually, I have no idea. I just haven't heard that it ended. And that's really where we are with this.

It has to make you wonder why we are so invested in some of these things. The most unsurious thing that we ever got from him was his his wardrobe was by far to me. Like it screamed to me as, you know, as a combat veteran, as a combat veteran, he reminded me of the boot marine that just got out of basic training, out of boot camp and was going out on boot leave. And everywhere he went, he's wearing either like an affliction or a grunt style or a 5-11 tactical. He's wearing the cargo pants, like the long cargo pants with the pockets. And, you know, he's got a tourniquet in all of his pockets. And he's, you know, and he's, that's what Zelensky has looked like for the last five years going to all these meetings, all of drab suits and never a tie.

But he'd wear like the long sleeve shirt with the, you know, it was just. So pathetic. So pathetic. And so, you know, I've never taken him seriously. But now what I think is interesting, Chris, and I was talking about this, I would love to get your take on this. We talked yesterday because, you know, a lot of the Hunter Biden stuff is coming back up with, you know, 7.0 now making its way into the X sphere. I think a lot of us have always kind of had the idea that Hunter might be cooperating in some form or fashion. President Trump has said numerous times now that Hunter's pardon was the only pardon that's legitimate. It's the only pardon that's legit. And now with Hunter coming out there, he calls himself now the MAGA whisperer. I know it's tongue in cheek, but he's called him stuff the MAGA whisper. We'll get into all this.

The war in Ukraine, like until that is over, Hunter Biden's ineffective. Like he can't, there's nothing that they can do. With that pardon, he can testify. He can be compelled to testify. about everything and he can't he can't lie he can't lie about it and so you know you look at things like the the blue star strategies uh expose that john did a while back i've written about it quite a bit as well um when you look at those things these are like solid solid uh crimes that have been committed coercion foreign interference you know foreign agents you know that kind of

thing by our elected officials, mainly his dad and Barack Obama, you know, when, when he says, you know, oh, I call, call him, you know, when, when he says that famous, you know, the son of a bitch was fired about Victor Shokin. Hunter can't testify about any of that stuff until the Ukraine war's over because, you know, and I don't know, maybe I'm just, and that's why they're so desperate to keep this thing going as long as possible. That's, that's kind of my working theory. Yeah, that could be right. There, a woman in my chat this morning reminded me of this here video that I just shared. Oh no, did he remember?

Did I? Can you not hear me right now? I can hear you, but you're not moving. A woman in your chat reminded you of the video that I shared into the stream yard, pop this up. I think that this is the right one. I found it that I knew. Harris and I were joined by members of our COVID-19 team, response team. Dr. Tony Fauci, our chief COVID medical advisor, Javier Bucera.

Excuse me, our nominee for Secretary of Health. So just so you know my life, as we're waiting to do this, I just agreed to. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, she's going to be the director for the Centers for Disease Control Prevention. Do you remember that? I do. The cut in? Yep. Dr. Biden is saying that he accepted a plea deal?

Yes. Yeah. I know that that's officially debunked, but there it is. I mean, that happened while Joe Biden was speaking from, I guess that's the. Oval Office or some room in the executive quarters of the White House. So is that real? Hard to know what that means, but there are at least some decent reasons to believe something like that is possible or even likely.

I agree with you. I think that we've talked about this number of times over the years. It makes a lot of sense. So we shall see. It's going to be very interesting. But again, I think it hinges on the war in Ukraine ending because there's a lot of people in Ukraine that are going to be complicit in this, that are going to be needed to testify or at least, you know, they'll be indicted.

Again, I don't think you can go over there and compel that in any way. But I don't know. We'll see. Let's go ahead and jump in. Actually, you know what? We're going to go back because we kind of went over to Ukraine for a minute there. So let's get back into the U.S. But before we do that, let's get a word from our sponsor, Soft

Disclosure, promo code, softdisclosure.com, promo code lotion raider. A long, long time ago, the raider went into a dangerous cave. Because he was on an adventure. Or like he smelled like an adventure. But the cave was protected by spiders and lizards. No, it was snakes. Snakes, why did it have to be snakes? Whatever it was, the raider wasn't scared of it because it was ghost.

The lotion raider. Then he found the golden field. Ghost had exactly one second to switch it. Or the whole case explode. All right. Softdisclosure.com promo code lotion raider. And then let's go ahead and talk a little bit here about crypto. Because I love to talk about crypto.

You hear a lot about crypto. I love to talk about crypto. I think you like to talk about crypto. I mean, we know G likes to talk about crypto. But here's the part that most people miss. Crypto was created so you could actually own and control your own money. After the 2008 financial crisis, Bitcoin was designed as an alternative to banks. So instead of a bank holding your money, delaying transfers or limiting access, you are in control.

And if you've ever had to wait for a transfer to clear, you've felt that problem. Now fast forward to today, everyone's heard of crypto, but getting started still feels a little complicated. That's exactly why I use Rumble wallet. It takes all that complexity and makes it simple. Choose what you want, Bitcoin, dollar-backed stable coins, or even digital gold backed by real gold. No complicated setup. It connects with moon pay so you can use your credit card, debit card, or bank, and be up and running in minutes.

Once you're set, you can even support your favorite Rumble creators like me directly. So do this now. Scan the QR code or click the link in the description and download Rumble wallet. From there, you can set up your wallet, tap by, and boom, you're in the game. in just a few minutes you can go from hearing about crypto to actually owning some all right thank you to rumble wallet uh you know chris this is pretty epic i think this is a boop right here man i'm no kidding no i'm totally kidding but uh the lotion raider the very end you know we got ghost passing out at the very end from's passing out man Man, the the clips that they have where they say he's falling asleep are so dumb.

Like I look at them and I'm like, he's absolutely not falling asleep. He's like hanging out and staring down the bottom of his eyes. Economy, a community, a family. And for too long. It's so stupid. Like two seconds where he closes his eyes, how about like? He's just like, he's just. listening to a voice behind him and staring down like at his desk. I don't even I don't

understand how good well I do understand of course people take this stuff seriously if you hate Trump and you see something like this. Do you want to think Trump is old and out of it because you've been saying that for 10 years then fine this is evidence of that I mean that's where we are now I think he's in the perfect position I messaged uh rise attire and said you guys need to make a ghost boop video or post get ghost and and trump just side by side like that because he's kind of in the same position it's it's it's reminiscent of it yeah it's so stupid they the ted loo or ted lu did you see that the ted loo marco rubio clip from the other day i did see that yeah ted lew's like yeah your boss was falling asleep he's like are you fucking serious yeah

me and alpha covered it yesterday and immediately like the first thing we we said was i mean We're Marines, dude. We are experts at falling asleep in the most weird positions you could ever imagine. And when you fall asleep like that, man, your body goes, first, your jaw drops. Your jaw, no matter what, you can't sleep with your mouth closed. Like an upward position. Your muscles relaxes. Your jaw drops. Also, your neck relaxes and you go like this. And as soon as you get to a certain point, you catch yourself and you pop back up. We call it bobbing for rooster. We had to be a little more PG-13 for Badlands daily.

But in the Marine Corps, bobbing for rooster, you can replace rooster with the proper word there. Yeah. Trump has never done that. Like Trump has never, you know, he's had his head down and it looks, appears his eyes are closed. And then he looks up and looks around. He's definitely not sleeping then. So, yeah, I would say he just looks relaxed. I was about to say when I'm relaxed and I want to think about something, like if somebody's saying something and I, you know,

and I'm thinking hard about it. I'll close my eyes. I feel like you channel more energy to your brain. I don't know. He also goes for like 20 hours a day. So yeah, just being able to zen out while someone else behind you is talking and you already know what that person is saying. Like I. It's funny because giving any justification for the normal behavior we see is can easily be refrained.

by the people who believe this shit as us just like saying ridiculous things to stick up for Trump. Because of course, Biden was always falling asleep. And we pointed that out. So now we're being hypocrites. You know how this whole thing works. All right. So let's jump back in. I've been talking a lot about my Pulte theory.

And just to be clear, I got pushback today from some individuals over the Arizona claims and people saying, you know, oh, they're serial, they're pathological liars. Guys, nobody's debunked their stuff, right? And I'm not saying I believe it, but I know for certain, for certain that there, there is some validity to those claims. And just highlighting those people like, dude, I got meltdowns yesterday from a post I made on X about that. And you need to read this article.

Okay, so I'm not going to read your article. I put it in chat, GPT and says, does this debunk the? claim. No, it's all personal attacks against their credibility. And I was like, okay, so you're attacking their credibility. That's fine. That's fine. You should always look at somebody's credibility. You should always look at that and consider it. But you also need to weigh the claims being made. And going back to the 2020 election stuff, there's been a lot of hit pieces about the people that have done some of the investigatory work into the 2020 election in Georgia. There's been claims made against them and most of those claims that are made in the mainstream media, I've had conversations

about those claims and I know more about the nuance behind those claims. So that's my point, is, you know, I think Pulte is there for a reason and, and I think it has to do with, with Trump's efforts with the Sinaloa cartel and all that stuff. But check this clip out. Go ahead. Yeah, I just want to say, you know, a lot of the discrediting that happened back then and people can say whatever they want about the characters, whatever. A lot of the discrediting, if I recall, was based on claims made in lawsuits against those people. And that's just not a solid basis to pretend that you know what's going on with a person. Fake claims, false claims, exaggerated claims, distorted claims, biased claims. That's what's in lawsuits. You know, that's not an unusual

thing for unsubstantiated claims to be made in lawsuits. And then the court will test those claims and we can have another conversation about the courts. But the point is, they're not facts. It's not facts just because it's printed in a lawsuit and it shouldn't be treated that way. And then the other thing about it is, regardless of the specific story or the specific characters telling that story, the story they told does not sound far-fetched. That is an entirely plausible way that our government is manipulated and corrupted and threatened to do what the system needs it to do. because you have the cartels to be to be the heavy, to be the enforcer, to be the threat over people's lives if they don't comply. And so to dismiss that whole thing based on the specifics

of these characters or the specific claims they make, man, that is a crazy thing to do. And so, yeah, that whole debunking of that shit, that never made sense to me. To be fair, they're not discrediting the claims outside the scope of those individuals, specific claims. They're saying there's still legitimacy to the story as a whole, which I, you know, it is what it is. It's tomato tomato. I mean, you're, you know, if you're going to be like, oh, well, that's totally true, but don't mention that person when you mention the totally true thing. It's like, what? What? Yeah. What does it matter whether how somebody arrives at the truth? It's the fact that you arrive at that truth. Well, that person has a really shady pass. So don't use them as a vector to get to that truth.

Okay. You know, the other funny thing is you said that people kind of piled on you on Twitter. There is in that information environment where there is the censorship and the algorithmic manipulation, people have an epistemology that I believe to be completely retarded. They believe that you're not allowed to say your opinion in public unless you can substantiate it with the sorts of proof and evidence that they will accept. And that is, that's brain dead stuff. I mean, the idea that like they have to accept your rationale or a claim before you

are allowed to state that claim publicly, that's just nonsense. And the fact that we actually proceed that way and have proceeded that way for two decades at least, that's just craziness. And I know that that's conditioned into us through our schooling and the rest of it, but it's absolutely bonkers. Yeah. Well, I'll mention something offline. But let's play this clip here. Let's play this clip here of President Trump talking about Pulte. Colte. As the acting director of national intelligence, there's been a little bit of a pushback from some Senate Republicans. Why do you think, Mr. President, he's the best person for the job? Well, he's very smart. He's a person who's got high integrity. He's a person.

a phenomenal job at Fannie Mae Freddie Mac. You probably have a trillion dollars in value there. When he took over, it was much less. And I guess I'm responsible for that too, because everybody wanted me to sell it in my first term for 10% of what it's worth right now. If I would have sold it, we would have lost $900 billion. We would have lost, I mean, think of it,

it's probably worth a trillion dollars. And I was offered, every people want me to sell it at $100 billion. a very small percentage of what it's worth now. And he built it up a lot, did a great job. And it's an acting position. It's not a problem. He's not going to be permanent because, you know,

I don't think he'd want to be permanent. But he's a very smart guy, and he may find out some things about the rigged elections, et cetera, et cetera. I think you'd like to do it. I'd like to. I think he wants to do it very much, got a lot of energy. But he'll be very good. Again, it's not a permanent position.

We're looking at, we're interviewing. people right now but it's somebody just to take it over for a little while. It's necessary in your name to the necessary national security experience to take on that well I do and I think he does actually because he's smart because a lot of national security I look I would I wasn't greatly experienced in national security and I think I've done a really great job with it a lot of people would say that I've ended eight wars and soon to be a night I hope that works out too. So yesterday before, I don't know when this press conference exactly took place,

but yesterday when Alfa and I covered the Pulte thing, this was exactly our take, both me and Alpha. He is going in the election in a different way. I'm going in it in a different way, but both having to do with the mortgage, you know, Pulte's experience is FHFA. And we also went after, you know, when they say, well, Pulte doesn't have any experience in this well neither did trump that was a point we made yesterday as well and that was the benefit of it you know the keating bill keating was asking rubio in his hearing well you know have you ever heard

in the terms of national security is strictly in the context of national security have you ever heard the name bill pulte and rubio's like no and rubio should have said and strictly in the terms of politics i never heard the name donald trump either strictly in the context of politics and look where he's at right now you know but he didn't say that which was kind of weird i thought he missed an opportunity. But Trump's saying, you know, Trump is basically saying right here, you might find out some stuff about rigged elections. I'm giving him the keys. I used this analogy last night and sit-rept. It's like prom night. And your son wants to go out and impress his date. And so you're like, here, here's the keys to the Ferrari or here's the keys to the Corvette or

whatever the case you have. Go out and have a good time tonight. So can I keep it? Can I keep it forever? No, just for tonight. But go out and you do what you got to do. Get it done. Right. That's what Trump did. He's given him the keys to the Ferrari and saying go take it out for a test drive. Let me know what you. Let me let me know what you think when you get back. And I and and and while remaining at FHFA, I think. Now that Trump has mentioned election rigging, I think we're on it. I think this is where it's going. That's a good call. I'm anxious to see. Although we also did have some of that same disclosure with Tulsi Gabbard and then a bunch of people expect Tulsi Gabbard to do that before she leaves at the end of the month. So Trump saying that

Palti will do that. I don't know if that's an indication of something, but. So two things. DNI was involved in specifically, well, three, technically, Puerto Rico, Georgia, and and Maricopa. And, you know, Tulsi did that press conference, what was it probably three or four months ago in Arizona, where we're all like, oh, this is going to be great, right? And the only thing that I got out of that press conference was that it was in an undisclosed

location and the media had to you know be bust in there and they couldn't know where they were going and you know all it kind of reminded me of the pit right that's what it reminded me of and that was what they did out in maricopa Tulsi gives absolutely nothing but she's in this this undisclosed facility operating out of it has a team there with her whatever the case might be Pulte could be working you know on the the the Maricopa aspects of or the Arizona as a whole aspects of the mortgage, the Sinaloa cartel. Trump has also just waged war in the Sinaloa cartel. That's expediting exponentially.

Expediting, it's moving along exponentially right now. We've got the two, the former finance and securities administrator for Sinaloa that just turned himself in in San Diego. We got another one that turned himself in in in Maricopa, in Arizona. But the other thing is in Georgia, you know, I know firsthand that there was a, well, it's secondhand, but I've seen the documents that there was a foreign national that worked in elections and received a house or not received, but has a mortgage through a Chinese company. And so, you know, again, this is a guy that's going out there buying $130,000 worth

the cars, you know, a $300,000 home, and he's making $35,000 a year. That doesn't make sense. And he's paying for the car's cash. Doesn't make sense. So I think we're going to see some movement on that. And I think they understand that because they're freaking the bleep out about it. Yeah. I think you should continue to pursue that line of reasoning with the Pulte moving from the mortgage fraud and FHFA to focusing more hourly on the cartel and using the intelligence community insight that he would have in the new role to pursue that.

sounds i mean it sounds rational to me well it seems like i mean you can look at the the mortgage aspect and be like okay this this doesn't make sense like there's something missing here i don't have you know this is classified or there might be more to this i need to have those types of resources and so trump gave him those resources trump didn't say here's somebody at d n i that's going to be your liaison that you're going to work with he said here's dn i he just said here's the whole thing you know what to do go in there be a bull in a china shop rec house get what you need and get out i i i think it's it's it's on the wall man makes sense to me uh next up in the this is from andrew de s dario uh desiderio next up in the voter rama senator warner's amendment

to bar a senate confirmed leader of a federal agency or department from serving simultaneously as acting director of national intelligence Oh, targeting Trump's Bill Pulte as acting OD and I. They're, I mean, that's how that's how bad it is, that they're trying to now pass an amendment in a bill to keep him out from being able to do his thing. Mark Warner. Where's he from, Mark Warner? Virginia. Virginia. Yeah, old school. He's been on the Senate Intelligence Committee forever. But isn't Pulte already once confirmed by the Senate?

It's amazing. And who else did he move? Go ahead. No, the bill is to say that you can't be in charge of a federal agency and acting DNI. That's, yeah, I mean, but literally he is right now. Exactly, exactly. And Trump just said he's not going to be there forever. So by the time they were able to get that bill, you know, pass of the amendment in that bill, even if they were able to get it pass and effectuated and all that, he'll be gone by then. Yeah.

It's just funny that they're so scared of a guy that. the Senate has already confirmed for another role. Yep. Oh, well. So here's President Trump again talking about the Save America Act. And again, I think he's telling us, and I'm with you guys now a little bit more. I've always entertained the idea. I'll always entertain ideas, but that Trump deliberately wants to save America Act to fail. And I think he says something here that's very interesting about that. So you have all voters of my show photo ID identification, all voters must show a little thing called proof of citizenship. Would you say that's 991,

Mr. Pennsylvania? I would say that's maybe 100 to zero. I would think so. But they say it's 80, 20. It's not 80. 20. And we've never found the one person. There's another one. And you have no mail in ballots, but we want to be liberal, as they say, or we'll say we want to be progressive. So it's no mail-in-balance. You see that to what's happening in California. They're rigging the election. Now, maybe we caught them, and maybe they won't be able to get away with it. They tried with me.

They did it successfully the second time, the third time. We made it too big to rig. Too many votes. They couldn't do it. They can only go. They sort of gave up at about 9 or 7, where they got slaughtered with the votes that but no mail-in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel. So we're being very progressive.

And we just don't want cheating in our elections. And you see it happening in California. Those numbers are coming down rapidly. They found a lot of mail-in ballots last night, shockingly. So we don't want that. Then we added best of, this is best of Trump. No men and women's sports. No transgender mutilization surgery for our children.

I would say that's pretty close to 99 to what all sounds. No men in women's sports. I would say that's pretty good. We had the quarterback, Jackson is the quarterback for the giants. He's a big strong guy. And I said, all right. So he goes on to bring Jackson Dart into this. And to me, you know, saying this is the Trump boost right here, you know,

adding and adding those two things to. it and he says those are 99 to 1 they're they're not 99 to 1 those those are the foundational principles of the democratic party right now with men and women sports and and transgender for everyone he says it all the time that's their whole ideology transgender for everyone transgender for everyone and then he's like oh we're going to pass this bill that's 99 to 1 transgender for everyone no you're not you know that you've acknowledged that that's part of your campaign speech going into the the 2024 election there's no way that you adding that and putting your name on that part of it there's no way you intended for the safe america act to get passed and he's saying it right there yeah so

the same america act's been around or the save act now it's the safe america act with those extra provisions but it's been around since the fall of 2024 i mean what are we talking about here we're We're still going through, we are in the midst of a primary cycle where people are going and pretending to vote in these fake elections under the system that is rigged and must be changed and that he's publicizing every day as rigged. It must be changed. He just said to Miranda Devine two nights ago that 2024 was rigged as well. And I don't know how much more proof people need to be honest. Yeah, I've got that clip as well because we haven't played that yet. So yeah, we'll keep moving. You're going to love the clip that I just loaded in. The L.A. County Sheriff's Department is dying in ballots from vote centers across the region. You can see the crossers landing right now.

We're standing in the park in the L.A. County Registards Barlet Clause. They land right here in the middle. And then you see workers. They're standing by to put those ballots. take them inside. They're picking up ballots from eight cities including Lancaster, Santa Clarita, Palmdale, Lakewood, Santa Monica, Van Nuys, Plymona, and Torrance. Once they arrive, the ballots are securely transferred inside where election workers are receiving and processing millions of ballots. While most ballots are transported by vehicle, election officials use helicopters to bring in

ballots from some of the county's farthest vote centers. The county's farthest vote centers are like 20 or 30 miles away, okay? And LA traffic is bad, but that's the middle of the night. And as bad as LA traffic is, they have five lane freeways that cut all across the city. All of this is a show.

Helicopters bringing in ballots. And aren't they only supposed to be counting ballots that were mailed in and arrived late? What is this? So here's another. consideration here that's the LA County Sheriff's Office that is bringing those ballots in the LA County Sheriff I think is on those ballots you are you talking about office is election oh is it I think he I haven't on that ballot I was

playing around with this because I had the same clip up and I was playing around with it and I was like I think the LA County Sheriff is up for election on in this election and if he's not either way you know what is the chain of custody on these ballots do they have a Republican and a Democrat poll observer on that helicopter you know I can't imagine you know if you're carrying ballots and and it's enough to to justify a bird that takes you know cost 750 an hour to fly or whatever case might be I can't imagine that you have enough room on there for the lawful lawfully

mandated observers to be on on board and all sorts of other things. Well, they, I mean, it's just going off on a helicopter. Yeah, sure. And helicopters never, you can't do as little switcheroo or anything like that in the helicopter. No, that could never happen that nobody would do that. The machine says that, uh, LA County Sheriff was on the June 2nd ballot. And the race includes incumbent sheriff Robert Luna and seven challengers,

including former sheriff Alex Villeneueva, who was. or via Nueva. I don't know how he says it. But who was the sheriff, I believe, in 2020. Yeah. So, I mean, you've literally got somebody that's on the ballot, his department. Now, airlifting ballots from across the city. It's only 20 or 30 miles at night, like Chris said, traffic. I mean, yeah, it's not the best traffic, but, you know, you've seen the videos. We've seen OJ back in 93 driving on the highway out there.

You don't need a helicopter to go from Santa Clarita to downtown Los Angeles. or South LA or wherever they're doing this. I think they do it down like halfway to Orange County or something. I had that, I did have that clip pulled up. We're into the California segment now. So President Trump, there's big cheating in the Democrats, by the Democrats in California. Votes are all tied up.

May not be in for weeks under investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in L.A. Why the vote counting delay, President D.J.T. Another one he put out the smore. No, last night. Watch California, everybody. Our election processes is bad or worse than any third world country. The biggest difference is they count their votes much faster.

They don't wait seven days to tell you who won, rigging the election during each and every one of them. Americans are ashamed of what is happening, President Donald J. Trump. Yeah, I mean, Americans should be ashamed of what's happening. And when they find out what's happening, I hope that shame does not prevent them from winding back, their new understanding through the past six years and applying what they now know to all of that, which intersects how they treated people, how they think of their government, the politicians they support, the way they think of Donald Trump and his supporters, man, it is a deep hole that people are going to have some difficulty climbing out of, but it nonetheless must be

climbed out of. This is the state of things. Wasn't Villanueva like a really base sheriff? I remember him that way. I mean, I haven't paid attention to that guy since the summer of 2020. But he was, again, you know, and looking back on the very deadly pandemic, like a lot of the people who were pushing back on it are clearly controlled opposition at this point. So I wouldn't know what bucket to drop him in. But yes, he was, there was some pushback. Dog just knocked my rifle case off my, my Ottoman thing. He's getting squirly.

Yeah. He was laying on it last night. It was open because I forgot to put it away after I put my rifle back in the safe. And he was laying in the case. Like he just flopped down on it. So he's not the only one getting involved. Benny Johnson's out there getting involved, Chris. You know what's up, guys?

We're outside of a very important place here in California. You'll see it's just home to a Port-a-John and a giant empty parking lot. But inside of this empty parking lot is something really important in the state of California. you can see here we have registered voters 26 registered voters for this exact location 100 sunset avenue in Venice 26 registered voters right here I mean he's like acting like that's like some crazy discovery who Chris who's that cartoon character that has like the big blonde hair and he's a huge jack guy with tiny little legs and And he wears a black shirt. He looks just like Benny Johnson here. Like he was in person form. Was that one, was that from one of those animated movies?

He, was it like the Incredibles or something like that? No, it wasn't the Incredibles. It was, I can't remember. Somebody in the chat will get it. And then I'll pull it up. And Johnny Bravo. Johnny Bravo.

Here, let me pull it up. I'm, I'm pretty sure that this is. Benny Johnson right here. Chad is crushing the Johnny Bravo. They are certain. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's definitely Johnny Bravo.

There he is. All right. So there we've got Johnny Bravo. And we've got Benny Johnson. He's totally doing the Johnny Bravo, man. Totally doing the Johnny Bravo. There it is. Right there.

Johnny Bravo. Johnny Bravo. Johnny Bravo. All right. right um by the way it's like this the most how long have we been saying that there's people registered at open lots i mean you go back to liz harris you know some of the work that ash did out in colorado you go back to audit the vote pa we've been saying this for six fucking years dude and you think 26 registered at a lot try like 6 000 at a corner of a highway uh you know

or 1200 it's not 6 000 i'm being a little dramatic but 1200 still a lot um yeah dude like welcome welcome to the show benny welcome to the show yeah i mean limited hangout to promote save back seems like these these people are going to be like when all of this comes out they're going to be like oh we've been ahead of this for for months like it's crazy months years dude years oh president trump with miranda divine epic epic clip right here She is all in on it. She is all in on it. There's a lot of problems inside. Look, we had a rigged election.

We can't have a rigged election. You know, we can be nice about it. We can be politically correct. Oh, I don't want to say. I used to say that a year and a half ago, the election was rigged, and the cameras would literally turn off. Yeah. And the anchor would say,

sir, you're not allowed to say that, you're not. Now nobody ever turns off the camera because it's been proven to be rigged. Look at what happened in Georgia. Look at all the stuff that we found out. It was a rigged. election. He got, Biden lost in a landslide. Yeah. And it's, you know, to think that this could happen. Now, because of that, we have Russia, Ukraine. That would have never happened with me. Because of that, we had opened border with 25 million, in many cases, criminal, not all. And sentional deaths.

Everything. Yeah. He was a worst president. And we were left at all over the world as a country. We're not left at anymore. We have the hottest country anywhere in the world. So how do we successful country anywhere. So someone has to be punished for that. So how do you do that? Well, I don't need to punish the moral. Yeah, I know. I'd rather not get into it, but are you confident? I don't want to talk about it. Yeah. Let's see what happens. The election was rigged. We know who rigged the election. We know it. We know everything now. You know, we have information that nobody thought was possible, but when you get to office, all of a sudden, people start giving you things. You know, it was a great

i'll tell you 2024 was a great election there was a lot there's a lot of rigging going on there too because you know what i wonder the landslide but there were areas that were just rigged i could see it so that in other words rigged against me yeah of course i mean divine seems like she's he's nodding along she's agreeing i don't know she's also she's also pushing him uh she's steering him into the limited hangout version of what's wrong with our elections. And that's the part that is grading as far as I'm concerned. And, you know, people get frustrated at that because they think that any information in this direction is good for people to hear. That is not true. This is the sort of information that tells the average disconnected consumer of political information

that the problem is something that they've already understood. It's baked into the cake. It's not a big deal. These are things that we kind of know about. They influence things, but not that much. That's what this effort is leading people to believe. And that is the understanding that keeps the election system in place as it is and just rides this thing out to the end until people forget and move on.

And they embrace something like the Save Act or a new election system and say to themselves, the problem is fixed. I can tune back out now and I'll be told that everything works fine for many election cycles or even generations of people putting their faith back into the integrity of a system that is incapable of integrity. Given all that, Chris, beneficiary of a stolen election, Chris Mays, Attorney General out in Arizona, to me the most obvious. You know, she was the most obvious. She was the most obvious. beneficiary of a stolen election when she beat Abe Hammaday by 217 votes or whatever the case was

and everybody focused on Kerry Lake in the 11,000, whatever that number 14,000. I don't remember off the top of my head. But everything that they brought up in the Carrie Lake trial with Kurt Olson and Brian Blam, everything that they argued in that case also applied to the Abe Hamaday, Chris May's race, because they were on the same ballot, same exact ballot, and they proved thousands of ballots in the Kerry Lake race were illegitimate. And that never, they never like nobody was ever like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you guys didn't quite get to the threshold of the governor's race with Carrie Lake, but you got there

for the attorney general who was only 217 votes, you know, and never got there. So now Chris Mays is rehashing the prosecution against the 18th. electors and others in Arizona after the Supreme Court said, no, you can't do this because you failed to read the applicable law to the grand jury before you, you know, presented your case. You failed to read the, the law on certifying elections to them. And so rather than be like, all right, you know what, let bygones be bygones, water under the bridge. Chris Mays is reconvening the grand jury to present the case again. that's that's desperation is there any desperation is there any desperation is there any way any of this further and the supreme court eventually has to deal with this no the Arizona Supreme court did but the right it's the state supreme or the the US Supreme court

likely yeah they wouldn't take that up and and the the Arizona Supreme court their decision was that you would have to represent this so she's just accepting that so maize would be the one that would appeal it further And she's not going to appeal it further because she's just saying I'll just reconvene the grand jury. And so Asso of anah is over. All shows her why we vote now. Let's get into this clip here, Scott Bessent talking with Representative Larson, which is absolutely hilarious when this Democrat does not know what the hell he's talking about. And then has an epiphany of holy shit. Let's talk about common sense. Are you in favor of eliminating the gas tax?

We have moved to... Are you in favor of eliminating the gas tax? Are you able to answer that or is that not answer? Are you in favor? His response is beautiful. Is beautiful. Are you in favor? It's because you can't answer the question.

I'm not interrupt that I can, Congressman. Well, I'm waiting for your answer. We have moved. We have asked Congress to move to eliminate the gas tax. That is through statute. You have moved that. So you're in favor of eliminating the gas tax. We have asked for that.

So we can join bipartisanly today because you're in favor it to eliminate the gas tax. Again, the White House is asked for it, sir. They have? Why isn't it before the committee for a vote? I don't run the agenda. Here that we're in favor of something that we can work on bipartisanly. that will help relieve people who need it the most.

Forgive me, but people in my district aren't doing cartwheels over this economy. He thought he had like this gotcha. He did everything. He interrupts him as he's answering it. Oh, that's because you can't answer the question. It's because you can't ask. Sir, we've been trying to do that this whole time. You guys are not doing it.

Wait, wait, what? It's us? It's you and you and me. And then he gives the game away and just says, we're trying to do something bipartisanly to, and what he's suggesting is that they're going to help alleviate the bogeyman of the affordability crisis, which is not to say that things aren't expensive, okay?

But worldwide, there is a public relations campaign to project the image of an affordability crisis caused Donald Trump's decisions around the world. And so we are supposed to blame Trump for that. And that's going to be a major part of the midterm story cycle. That's what he's suggesting right here. We're looking for a way that both parties can achieve a victory over the White House for our midterm narrative. And that's what all this stuff is.

And he's just saying it. Yep. Here's another one. Here's another one. This is Brooke Rawlins arguing with another. And this is something, again, we've been saying this for years, that these dog and pony shows, these hearings are utterly retarded. They're nothing more than, you know, getting your clickbait, getting your segments, your sound bites and all that stuff. And, I mean, the problem is, is you actually have an administration now that has people that are, that understand the problem and they're doing something about it.

And they can't fire back. So like when Larsen says there, well, are you in favor of eliminating the gas tax? No shit. Sherlock, we've proposed that already. So now you've got Brooke Rawlins talking about SNAP benefits in Minnesota. According to USDA. Your state is saying we only have 1.6% fraud rate, which we all know is an absolute joke. I'll say it again.

The USDA's own data found 1.6%. I don't know. I don't think I don't think you understand the difference between areas. error rates and fraud rates. I honestly don't. It is one of the lowest program, the lowest fraud rate in any program in America is the SNAP program. The lowest fraud rate of any program in America is the SNAP program? One, you can't be serious when you say that. Your own data says 1.60.

Again, that's because the state's, your state has told us that number. And you won't allow us to confirm it. You, you've bragged on TV that it's a great thing. that you kicked four million people off now. The ability to work, the righteousness of work is not. Reclaiming my time, 700,000 kids. We should be proud. That's the goal of these welfare programs.

Look, Madam Secretary, I'm asking you these questions, because these issues, this committee, it's all personal to me. You're not asking questions for an answer. You're asking questions to make a little statement. I would like to actually have a real conversation. Madam Secretary, Mr. Chair, she talked over half of my time here.

So look, when. So she's saying 1.6 fraud rate. Brooke Rollins is saying, yeah, because your data says that we want to audit the data. We're not just trusting what you're giving us because I think it's pretty clear at this point in time that there are officials in Minnesota that are complicit in this fraud. And Rollins is saying we're not just going to trust the data you're giving us. So yes, that 1.6 is your data. Don't use that to put, you know, to discredit the things that I'm saying. I think it's fantastic watching this and just watching the the pageantry, the childlike pageantry of Mr. Mr. Chair, she spoke over me the whole time.

God, these people are so fucking insufferable. Yeah. I mean, they're trying to make internet content. Oh, man. All right. So where are we going to go next? We probably got a couple more stories we can get through. SPLC, there's a superseding indictment that has now come down.

Justice Department says it has obtained superseding indictment against SPLC, Southern Poverty Law Center with new details on donor funds. The Justice Department says the superseding indictment was returned by a grand jury in the Middle District of Alabama, alleges $4.1 million worth of tax exempt funds were used to pay informants inside the extremist organizations who engaged in activities, including recruiting new members and purchasing materials for cross-burnings and Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods. so they're arming their their quote unquote enemies. The Justice Department's allegations that the SPLC made these payments without disclosing the practice to donors and by defrauding banks. Quote, this apparent superseding indictment attempts to shore up the flaws in the initial charges, but it changes nothing, says SPLC's lawyer, Abbe Loll in a statement. There's Abbey again, old Abbe, old Abe, old Abbe.

The SPLC did not lie to its donors. it did not mislead banks it did business with and its informant program prevented violence and saved lives did you tell the banks or your donor did you tell your donors that you were using their donations to buy crosses and and and and robes for the kkk was that was that part of like the donor form like your funds will be allocated to the kkk and neo-nazis for swastikas and and other shit well people donate to them so that they were will solve racism and if they tell those people that they are solving racism and that this is what they need to do it, which is the argument Abby Loll is making, it's difficult, I think, to legally argue

with that. Are they not allowed to do this? I mean, I know that it's dishonest and it's hypocritical and it is, it gives you like a framing for how these things work, for how the NGO system actually creates the problems that it claims to be solving so that it can launder and waste money, and you could call it taxpayer money, but it's really just money that is printed and then assigned to the taxpayer. Is that illegal or is it just something that we all should know and then make sure

that this organization never gets money ever again? I mean, I'm not convinced that that is illegal or that it even should be illegal. The fact that people get hoodwinked by this shit eventually has to be the fault of those getting hoodwined. Because it's not like we have to get hoodwinked by this stuff. It hinges on misleading versus outright fraud, whether they lied about it or whether it was misleading.

And it goes on to talk about that. And the new superseding indictment takes away the phrase misleading their donors. Again, I'm with you. I don't know if they'll rise to the point, if they'll be able to get to the point where they believe that the donors, like they told the donors, this is not what was happening. Because that's ultimately what you would have to be telling the donors is we're doing this, this and this with the money. And if you did use something as broad as we're ending racism, sure, you can make the argument. The only way we could end racism is by getting into these organizations and pushing them in a certain direction. And, you know, but ultimately, I think that goal is the expose that a lot of these organizations, I mean, Charlottesville, you know, almost entirely funded now by the SPLC.

you know when you see that like and and then we see like one of the most racist things that happened the fine people on both sides hoax that came out from charlottesville that was what was used to promulgate the idea that america is fundamentally racist just look at what happened in charlottesville also that was the spielc that funded that and orchestrated almost the entire thing there you know and you go back to the i'm sure we'll find out about patriot front and you know the the organizations remember the um the rallies that they did in dc where they had you know the dudes in the blue shirts with the khakis and the guys standing around and the fed picture where the guys are all looking with their aviators on like all of this shit right is going to come

back on them and so yeah you're that's a good point you know maybe the the object of this is not to get convictions but rather to just disparage the organization so much that people see what it really is i i just think in the macro picture the point we have to take away from this stuff because because the details are on some level, ultimately unknowable. We cannot expect the system to punish itself. But what we can do is understand on a widespread basis, what is actually going on and extract our power back from that system on the federal level,

the NGO level and the rest of it, as much as we can and redirect that energy toward the local level, where we might actually have some effect in the day-to-day-day level, lives of ourselves or families or friends or communities, et cetera. And then if we are able to do that successfully, maybe we can build back up to effectiveness on the state level and then at that point determine whether we need the federal structure at all. And I'm not, I'm going to say I'm not convinced that we do need it. The way that that would have to operate to prevent destabilizing society

is to have that gradually taper off over time. I'm not suggesting we just end the federal government in a day and let the system figure itself out, although I would suggest that I think we can do that probably a lot faster and a lot better than people think that we can. I don't think it would just be an immediate collapse because people don't want it to collapse. And when the situation changes, people will adapt and they will adapt more quickly depending on how severe and threatening the situation becomes. All right. We got a few more minutes. we covered this yesterday because it was broken, breaking. It's also broken.

John Bolton received, reaches plea deal over mishandling of sensitive national security information. He will ultimately plead. He was charged with 18 counts. He'll plead to one, meaning 17 counts that he won't plead to. I'm sure there's a calm there somewhere. Two and a half million dollars in fines. Me and Alpha yesterday, you know, we're saying that the fact that he,

likely won't do any jail time, but has to pay those fines probably means that he's cooperating. I don't know if I'm as on board with that as I was yesterday. Jump down here in this article, and it talks about, you know, a retired Air Force officer, three years in prison for the same thing, another FBI analyst, four years in prison for the same thing. But then you get down to, and Jack Tashara, the Air National Guard guy that got 15 years, for posting it on social media but then you get down here to the bigwigs and the very important people and bolton actually got kind of stiffed compared to some of these guys nsa advisor sandy burger was only fined 50 000 after pleading guilty to smuggling classified documents out of the national archives

by stuffing them in his pants and socks before hiding them under a construction trailer only to later cut some of them up with a pair of scissors uh david petraeus pleading guilty CIA director at the time pleaded guilty in 2015 to one counter retaining classified information that he used to share in his diary he was fined 40 000 to 100 000 i don't know why they don't have a definitive number and given two years of probation now maybe petraeus was cooperating in in some former fashion with with a case at the time but i don't know if i'm as bullish on petraeus or a bolton you know becoming a state's witness or if this is just more of the status quo and I don't mean to black pill on that, but I'm just going to tell you guys the truth on it.

I don't think that that's blackpilling. It's possible that that's not what he's in this position to do. But I will just say Steve Bannon kind of seems like he has his finger on the false of some of this stuff, at least where it's going story wise. And he did say yesterday that he thinks that's what Bolton's future is. So we'll see that he's going to be a state's witness. Yeah. That he's going to flip that he's going to like roll on some people or whatever. I agree. And the thing that still gives me hope in this is that you have an administration that these people have been weaponized against. And that's President Trump, right? He's got a chip on his shoulder. We're not going to sugarcoat it. He's got a chip on his shoulder. When Petraeus and Berger did that, there wasn't any chip on the shoulder. It's like somebody accidentally stumbled upon this, kind of like Joe Biden's documents in his garage. They stumbled upon this. It got out into the public and they had to do something. something to justify it. Bolton is a guy that basically was insubordinate to President Trump, you know, is acknowledged orchestrating coups across the globe. And, and there, there, there is a desire

to extend this investigation beyond Bolton. And so I do think that that's the one thing that gives me hope in this, is that there's a huge difference between the tone between Petraeus Berger and Bolton and where we're at right now. So I don't want people to get, I'm a little bit, I took a foot off that rug. I was fully on the rug and I took the foot off and still, I'm still like, and my weights mainly on the foot that's still on the rug. Okay. Well, that's cool.

You just have to say, hey, maybe it's the floor. Maybe it's the rug. It's impossible to know. Um, what else do we have here? Uh, I think that might be it. Oh, we got to get to the Hunter Biden thing. Just real quick briefly. What the fuck? This is Hunter Biden saying this. WTF timeline are we on? Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I'll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R, we all want the same things. We're being divided on purpose by the Epstein elite oligarch class. Because as long as we're at each other's throats, they get fat and rich off our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they're done. Love your neighbors, be yourself, radical honesty. No fucking.

given no fuck's taken everything else is just noise but still fuck jake brim brick tamland tapper on any timeline basin red pill hunter biden it's funny that hunter biden is reflecting the same slogans as uh thomas massey marjorie taylor green and rocana it's almost like there'd be a he he he's vowing to be the populist leader indeed yeah and he's got the he's got the the the the back story right of the addict who struggled and like they're they're grooming him he's being groomed didn't he marry his current wife after like six days i i think ship was talking about this the other day um that hunter has a very unique uh uh track record of getting involved with women very quickly that end up handling him

ultimately. I don't know. The MAGA whisper strikes again. He puts on post, and this is President Trump yesterday. He's on social media now, and he has suggested maybe joking hell of that he could run for president in 2008. How would he do, Hunter Biden, in a 2028 Democratic Well, you would think that, you know, passes something to do with winning an election, and I would say as best is not the greatest. Where's Hunter? Remember my where's Hunter it became the number one shirt anywhere in the world for about three weeks. I'm not going to say, Brad. I'm sure, you know, hey, if the guy from Maine can do well,

I guess Hunter could do well too, because the guy from Maine is a basket case. And I would say worse than him is the one from Texas. That looks like Alfred E. Newman. I would say that if he can do well, maybe Hunter can do well. I'm not sure. It would be pretty close as far as I'm. And then President Trump truth this out. I think this was this morning.

Last night, late last night. Hunter Biden sitting down drawing the greatest president with a very nice, a very nice pencil drawing of President Donald Trump. Did you see this post that Hunter put out? I mean, you're totally right. He is trying to appeal. Things most Americans agree on.

Groceries cost too much. tariffs suck and make no sense i disagree strongly with that congress and presidents shouldn't trade stocks i agree with that the debt is a mess 100 percent the border should be secure but legal immigration is good i'm 50 50 i the border should be secure i don't think a legal legal immigration is necessarily good but i think that there needs to be a way for it to happen uh endless wars are stupid especially ones that nobody wants to have and have never been explained agreed americans are exhausted agreed I actually like the AI one. AI is like my new best friend that also might want to try and take my job,

my ability to think for myself and my humanity in the process, yo, like I love you, but W2F, but I still love you. I actually like that assessment on AI. Diversity is actually awesome. The opposite is boring AF. Don't agree with that at all. Canadians are super fucking cool. Don't agree with that at all.

I do like a lot of Canadians, but I don't think they're super fucking cool. I mean, maybe in the literal sense, because it's way colder in Canada than it is in Florida. So maybe in that sense. Mexicans are chill. I mean, they do smoke a lot of cannabis. And so I can get behind that. Putin isn't a good guy looking out for America's best interest. Rocky Foreign Miracle are great movies.

At least the latter half is true. Good neighbor. All right, we can end there. Basically, you see what I'm getting at. He's trying to lay out the populace. He's making the play there. He's making the play. Yeah, he sounds like an Instagram influencer, you know, is writing his posts.

Yep. Or AI, which is also not his friend, but is his friend. All right, a couple rants here. Emerald Dragon morning gents. Cancon just wanted to send a quick condolences from my family to yours, my friend. Thank you so much, brother. I appreciate that. Doc from Amish PA can't listen live.
