Badlands Media - Badlands Daily: 9/11/26 - 25 Years After 9/11, Indiana Recount Fight & 4th Circuit Detention Ruling

Episode Date: September 11, 2026

CannCon and Chris Paul open the 25th anniversary of September 11th with personal reflections on where they were that morning, including a sobering account from Chris of how close he had been to the World Trade Center just days before. From there they turn to the fallout over President Trump's five thousand dollar tariff dividend and the meltdown it has caused, followed by an Indiana Supreme Court decision settling a razor thin primary decided by a handful of ballots and a question about clerk signatures nobody seems able to answer consistently. They also unpack a ProPublica piece on Postal Service ballot handling that CannCon calls pure narrative deployment, the Missouri map heading to the general with different districts than the primary, and a Fourth Circuit ruling on mandatory detention with a judge comparison the hosts find genuinely absurd. They close with two clips to send you into the weekend.

The Badlands, one of the Badlands, explain those Badlands. That's a hell of a name. All right. Good morning, Badlandia and welcome to Badlands Daily. You're going to let that play out for a second. All right, it's Friday, September 11th, 25th anniversary. Joined by Chris Paul. Where were you, Chris Paul, when the world stopped turning?

Well, I had actually. just been working in Manhattan and traveling through the World Trade Center across to Jersey City every day for that entire summer up until the beginning of September because I was getting moved to to another location for that company in Connecticut. So I moved out of the city. But yeah, 10 days, 11 days before I was going through the subway traveling from the West Village down you know into uh jersey city that direction and so i was actually uh at my parents house and i remember my mother waking me up in the morning and being like hey a plane just hit the world trade center and so i came down and uh got there in time to see the the second one happen and so yeah that was

that was my nine 11 my college girlfriend her uh her brother two of his best friends uh were killed and the buildings collapsed so yeah wow it was quite a day Yeah, that's, that's, that's, that's, that's pretty crazy. That's fortunate, um, for you, for you. Sure. Um, man. Yeah, that's, that's, that's, you know, I, I've, I've said this many, many times. That's one of, uh, two for sure days that I will never, ever forget exactly where I was at that moment. I said last night, the other one being J 13, um, you know, when, when, when President Trump was, was shot at and shot. Ah, gotcha. Yeah, that's, that one, I will never forget where I was when that happened. But September 11th, of course, you know, had a tremendous

impact on my life. You know, me and Alpha took up arms after that in the name of, you know, the people that were in the mountains that were able to somehow orchestrate a plan to fly two planes into the World Trade Center and then another two planes into other targets reportedly. Yeah, never forget. What was it? thousand nine hundred i used to know this number two thousand is it two thousand nine hundred fifty six that were killed the number that's been posted that i've seen over the course of the last twenty four hours is uh 29 77 29 77 and and then of course uh thousands that have died since then from you know cancers and all sorts of things that they got from the air that they were breathing the

asbestos you know all the other contaminants that were in the air around the the trade center itself Yeah, just a tragic day for our country. September 12th was a hell of a day when everybody woke up and American flags were everywhere. And there was some sort of patriotism that ushered in things like the Patriot Act. You know, because if you're patriotic, you got to have the Patriot Act. Of course. Great thing. You got to support it.

Yeah. You got to give away your rights in order to have it or else, you know, you could be incinerated in a terrorist act. Exactly. You got a growing. I just did the movie The Siege last night. Have you ever seen that? Yes, a long time ago. Yeah, it's like some predictive programming about Muslim terrorism in New York City.

I hadn't even meant to do it. You know, sometimes we try to think about where in the news cycle we are and like what film might line up with that really well and do that for that week. But that wasn't even on my mind in choosing this one. And the timing was incredible. Yeah. And then, of course, we had to spend 20 years in the sandbox, hunting down the people that did this and costing us trillions of dollars. Yeah, that did this.

We only had to look in D.C. turns out. But, you know, yeah, it's a really tragic day. And, you know, if anybody out there that lost a loved one on this day, prayers for you guys today and hopefully we uh hopefully we move on as a country and we we correct the the awfulness that exists today and we will talk about some of that awfulness but first let's talk about our sponsors for today's show guys tired of nicotine pouches that are drier than your text messages meet alp the moist flavor bomb pouches that actually deliver while the other guys tastes like grandma's dusty tea bag alp hits you with the bold flavors and 20 pouches per

It depends on whether or not I'd make it on the weekends. And then I have to drink crappy coffee and nobody likes crappy coffee.

That's right. You know, life is too short to drink crappy coffee. I might start a, maybe I'll start a coffee company called crappy coffee. I don't think that after the commercial you just did for that company, it would do very well. No, it probably wouldn't do very well, but maybe I could, I don't know, sell some coffee. No, loaded gun is legit. It's by far my favorite coffee. I absolutely love the pecan, the bourbon whiskey pecan.

Khan, because everybody will start freaking out over that. All right, let's get into the news. Chris, you ready? I'm always ready. Did you see, I'm going to save it for the Oswa Vanaa section, but did you see Trump's pledge? Yes, we're all going to hell. Yeah. All right, before we get into that, President, well, actually, before we get into any of that, smash that thumbs up.

If you have not done so already, share the show out. It helps us out tremendously here at Badlands as we try and grow. And let's go ahead and jump into the first clip. And we got President Trump with Laura Ingram talking about $5,000. Man, I have never seen people melt down over this more. But check this out. Well, first of all, the money has to be spent in the United States. We can't go out and buy things from Germany or, or frankly, Canada or any other place.

And therefore, it just gets flown right into the system. But much more importantly, we're going to take care of the $40 trillion over a period of time through growth. We're growing at a faster rate than we've ever grown before. You get that more than most others. But they're saying you're buying the election. You want to buy the election. Why not just give the money now? If you have the money, why not give it now?

I'll tell you what, because the Democrats can't do it. Because with them it's negative growth. With us, it's so positive. So we're taking in $21 trillion. Nobody, no country's ever taken in anywhere near that. It's four or five times higher than the next. All because of that beautiful word that you and I love more than most others, tariffs. You got it.

I'm so proud of you. I mean, businesses and you. your biggest thing, but you got it better than most of the people. Well, that's okay. Very good at other things. And you're very good at business, frankly, because you understood tariff better than most people. And you would say, Georgia tariffs, you got it. And all we're doing is, you don't have to pay any tariff at all.

Do you know that we have now 19 medical plants, Eli, Lilly, Merck, Pfizer? They're all building plants in the United States. That's amazing. fantastic. We were taken in 21 trillion. You're not very good of business, but you get tariffs. So you actually are really good of business. What an interesting thing he's doing, though, by giving her credit for things that she doesn't seem to actually believe. Maybe she covered tariffs and was pro tariff on the show at some point. But he's essentially like talking her up while insulting her and complimenting her for understanding what he's doing even though

she doesn't. That's just masterful media manipulation. And he is the best at it. As far as the $5,000 thing goes, that I said this to Burning Bright last night on Story Hour, but it seems to me like he understands what the plans are going to be for when the unit party makes the next move after these midterms, which will be in the direction of impeaching Donald Trump. And you would think that part of the pattern that we've seen is kind of the Republican and Democrat establishments coming together so that they can show the American people that there's something for every American in this combination of these parties. Let's find the reasonable rational Democrats, the reasonable rational Republicans put them all together. We're not going to call it the

Unip Party. We're going to put them all together. And then we're going to bring the American people everything they've ever wanted and get rid of Donald Trump for. them at the same time. And that's going to be their presentation. And I wouldn't be surprised if part of that plan was to give the American people $5,000. So if they go and try to pull this off in early January after the new Congress gets sworn in, all of that credit will already go to Donald Trump. And I think that this kind of stuff is hysterical. And whether it happens or not, I don't care. I mean, we can make the principled arguments on this that like the government shouldn't be handing out money to the people. Like, no shit.

but they also shouldn't be taking our money. You know, so, so does that get evened out at some point? Or do we just go on like they should have been taking our money this entire time? So the 21 trillion that, you know, that's a reference to, I'm assuming it's a reference to all the investments that he's secured in the United States. And so it's not like it's $21 trillion that the federal government all of a sudden has in excess, you know, well, it doesn't even surpass our national debt. So it technically wouldn't even be in excess.

But it's not like they have $21 trillion. cash on hand from all of these investments. That's money that's pouring into the United States and the government is going to get theirs through taxes, through permits and all the other, you know, red tape that these companies are going to have to go through in order to, you know, re-onsure their businesses. But the concept, I mean, the concept of tariffs, so, you know, this is kind of rehash so many different arguments. One of the arguments I'm seeing is that, you know, this is, so me and Ash got into this yesterday and I called it redistribution, but that was just be not, not this being redistribution, but calling the what was it the other day um i did call this redistribution but that's not what i meant

in terms of socialism because this is actually money that if it is dividends if it is dividends this is actually money that is realized by the united states government for you know corporations paying to bring stuff in from out of the country into our country and then taking that and dispersing that back out to the american people and if you go back to pre uh pre federal reserve times when the United States was mainly dependent, these United States was mainly dependent on tariffs for revenue. We didn't need the income tax. And so by Trump going out there and offering this 5,000, this is one of the craziest things. People are like he's bribing people. Well, every fucking politician bribes you. Literally every politician that's saying I'm going to lower your taxes,

that's a bribe. That is a bribe. You know, money, money that you either receive or money that you save and therefore get to keep one way or the other, that's a bribe. That's a bribe. That's a bribe. You know, money that's a bribe. bribe you know and and and and president trump is not going out there and saying if you vote for me you'll get the 5 000 if you vote for the well not for me if you vote for the republicans you'll get the 5 000 it's it's it's absolutely insane now i do love the idea of the tariffs i've always been a a strong supporter of the tariffs uh now the 21 trillion i would like to see more math on that number personally but think about what think about what the 39 trillion going in the other direction is have you seen a lot of math on that no it's congressional legislation

and then fiat dollars created that flow to different parts of the same system and have been for years and just kind of these are just numbers made up out of nothing to explain some circumstance in the world and why we have to uh accept some sort of lifestyle sorry everybody the government has taken all of your money and then spent it on all this dumb shit so now you can't have the lives that you used to have, blah, blah, blah. You know, all of these are narrative layers. The idea that Trump is buying votes is preposterous because elections are fake. So you don't even have to engage with a notion like that.

And anyone proposing that notion is clearly too stupid to understand what's going on so you don't need to listen to them. This stuff, you know, it's totally worth taking it seriously because, as you were doing, we can take, we can analyze what this means under a, principled political system or legal system under our constitutional order and understand whether or not this is the sort of thing that comports to that and then have the principled and moral discussions about whether or not this is the sort of thing that we want in the sort of society that we want. I think all of that is worthwhile as like an intellectual exercise, a way that we can figure out

what it means to be part of this American community. I'm down with all of that. But on the level of seriousness that these people are taking it, they're incorporating all of these flawed ideas into the foundations of their argument. Like, what is the point of arguing about whether or not Trump is trying to buy votes when he knows beyond anyone else that the elections are fake and that he's not running? I mean, it's just nonsense. It's crazy. I don't know how people are still discussing these situations on these terms, except for the fact that the mainstream media and the mainstream political influencers are pushing everything out on these terms and then the social media platforms amplify it all with the algorithms and so everybody's like well this is what the discussion's all

about well let's just reject these discussions because the foundations and premises are already flawed at their base so if we are arguing about our opinions and our emotions about what we're told if what we're told is bullshit then we're wasting our time yeah um this i i've been blown away to be honest with you, some of the reactions online from this on both sides of the spectrum. But I've seen more people, believe it or not, pushing back against the idea, which I'm surprised by because when you get down to the actual, you know, normal everyday American level, I think they look at the 5,000. Like if it happens, I'm absolutely going to take it and I'm going to love it and it's going to

be great. But then they're also like, why are we paying five? like that's a lot of money to be paying out to people. This is one case, you know, we go back to COVID and that was all printed, right? That was part of the CARES Act and, you know, all the other crap that we passed during the quote unquote pandemic, a pandemic. That was, you know, that was the Federal Reserve saying, yeah, let's ramp up those printing machines and let's make all this money and send you guys your checks for $1,200 or $600. I don't even remember how much it was at this point. not realizing that the inflation that you're creating by doing that, the the amount of taxes that you're going to see increased because of that, I did the math on it one time.

And like that $1,200 over the course of paying it back came out to something like, I don't know, taking in the broad, the entirety of the CARES Act and the bills that were passed came out to like $35,000 or $40,000 over the course of your lifetime that you're going to have to pay back for that $1,200 or $2,400. or whatever it was. It was absolutely insane. This again is perhaps, I don't know. If there's a way that we can go back to a tariff system, I'd rather him come out and say, hey, if we can pay you every single grown American $5,000, we can certainly cut your taxes down to a bare minimum. And I would be much more inclined to accept that idea. And I think more Americans would be like, wait, wait. I can either have $5,000 now or I can have a significant reduction in my taxes for years to come. I would think that we would take the significant reduction. Well, perhaps, but if one of these situations is better for the American people and the other one is better

for the federal government and the banks, we're not actually going to get a choice. So, yeah. Yeah, unfortunately, I don't see any of this ever coming to fruition. You know, I've, who knows what's going to happen with it. But I just even, even if the GOP wins, I don't see this ever being fulfilled. Also at the same time, I mean, you got to wonder, why aren't we having the conversation and saying, hey, if President Trump can can make this offer, maybe we need to reconsider those IEPA tariffs that the Supreme Court said the president doesn't have the authority to do. maybe Congress needs to come together and take a look at these and say, hey, maybe this is something that's good for the nation. But again, we've been saying that since day one. Ghost has been all over the tariffs.

Well, tariffs present a way for countries to use leverage without involving the military. So I think that that alone is the justification for them. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's a huge weapon that President Trump has. has has you know thrown around in the second term especially but you know going back and hold on where we get my train of thought back on this shit i just completely lost it ghost uh rub the i just completely lost it all right let's get into another another little payback that we're going to get here president trump announcing a rebate on obamacare today i'm very

thrilled to make an important announcement on the cost of health care affecting hardworking families all across the United States. Our administration has discovered that under Sleepy Joe Biden, American households buying health insurance through the Obamacare Exchange, which is a disaster, and the health care.gov were massively overcharged, to put it mildly. They were forced to pay excessive fees totaling at least $500 million. The last administration knew about this, and they studied it, but they kept the money. They just kept it. They never let anyone know.

Our administration is doing the right thing and giving the money back to the people who were wrongly ripped off. Nearly one million hard work in Americans in 30 states will soon be getting refunds of $500, each with a check sent to their home address. In many cases, these refunds will cover the entire spike in your insurance caused by Democrats who solely work to protect big insurance companies. The big insurance companies own the Democrats. Congress must now quickly pass the great health care plan.

It's called the Great Healthcare Plan. The cost of health care for all Americans is coming down under my plan. We will stop all payments to big insurance and give the money direct. directly to the people who would then be able to buy better health care at a much lower cost and keep the money and keep the difference. We'll have maximum price transparency and require all prices to be posted in plain, beautiful English. And we will get insurance companies to disclose their profits and how many claims they deny

so that we know the good ones from the bad. But the relief begins with refunding everyone who was overcharged. The rebates are going out in just. Just a few weeks. All right. So there's a lot that he said. I mean, the rebates is what a lot of people are going to hear. Who, I could get $500 back.

But, you know, publishing health insurance companies, publishing the number of claims that they denied and the, you know, details about those claims, the cost and how much they've made that those are big things that are going to, you know, wake up a lot of people. You look at, you know, kind of the uprising that came around Mangione, Luigi Mangione, when he shot that guy. from what was a United Health Care, I think he was with. When he shot the CEO or whatever it was with United Healthcare, a lot of people, that was a movement. And I don't agree with it. Violence like that is never a good thing. But the reaction from people and the animosity that people hold towards that is something we get behind.

The most favored nation, you know, I said when President Trump first announced that, he just announced the update to it a couple weeks ago. But when he first announced that, that is going to be a massive, massive kickback for the American people that should, it should lower the cost of Medicaid, Medicare, and then from there have a trickle down effect to other insurance plans and whatnot. So this brings me back real quick to my point. And then I'll hand it off to you here. And I remembered what it was with the tariffs is a lot of Americans, until President Trump kind of started exposing all this stuff, had no idea how bad. the lopsidedness to our economy in terms of a global perspective actually were. And we didn't realize that, you know, as a kid, I would always think, you know, I went to,

I went to, where was it, somewhere in Europe when I was a little kid and I was like, how come there's no Mustangs over here? How come there's no Broncos, like Ford Broncos? And how come there's no Chevy pickup trucks and all that stuff? Why are there no American cars over here? And, you know, now we know it's because they're charged a 15% VAT tax on every single American vehicle in addition to pretty big tariffs on American vehicles so they don't want them over here. There's other things like EPA or not EPA regulations, but their own like emissions regulations

and stuff like that, of course. But we've been getting our asses pummeled. Pummeled. And they just, you know, it's just kind of like the thing the global media never really pointed out until President Trump came out and started doing it. Most favored nation status, tariff, lopsidedness. Like all of these things that he's pointing out to us are things that people need to be talking about. every single day and unfortunately it's got like a five second window before we're worried about the next like you know i don't know hit piece that somebody's putting out there the the five minute soundbite it's it's all bullshit man yeah i mean i love when trump is doing stuff like this and attempting to return money to the american people as we were just discussing the in terms of the health care stuff

the most favorite nation stuff he was doing a lot of that in the first term and so a lot of this has been kind of in the making for many years and so we'll see when the ultimate results are kind of more readily available. Healthcare has not come down in price unless I'm missing something. It seems to be just as expensive, more expensive than it was previously. So we're clearly not there yet. But he's been very focused on getting rid of the, you know, he talks about the middleman often.

I firmly believe that the middleman that he's referring to are these insurance companies. So it's a total distortion of the market. And when we move on from health insurance as this massive and necessary product that everyone has to purchase just to feel like they're not going to have an accident and then be permanently indebted, man. I mean, the faster we move out of that phase, the better. Yeah. I'm with you. All right. freaks out about here with this story from the New York Post. Jody Genova resigns abruptly from

DOJ investigating Trump foes calling out quote unquote ethical problems on the way out. And we'll address that quote here in a second. But it says, quote, I did resign today by letter to the attorney general. I said that it was a privilege and an honor to serve the president and the department. And I was very grateful DeGenova told the post. Sources said, and there's a whole crap load of sources behind all of this story, by the way. Sources said Digenova had lost support from the DOJ leaders and the White House amid his quote-unquote grand conspiracy investigation with one source suggesting that he was quote-unquote slow-rolling indictments and getting lost down quote-unquote rabbit holes.

I wonder what those rabbit holes were because there are a ton of rabbit holes to go down in the Rico Grand. Asked whether he had lost focus. DeGenova dismissed the act. accusations and shot back, quote, if you want indictments where there's no evidence, you have an ethical problem. And that's a lot of the, that's the quote that a lot of the mainstream headlines are latching on to. I do want to, before I go on with this article, I want to jump over to the Associated Press, which has clarification on that quote. I do want to mention AP put out a person familiar with the matter who insisted on anonymity to discuss a personnel decision,

said that the departure came amid mounting frustration from the Justice Department. over the pace and management of the probe. Now, in reference to that quote specifically, when reached again by the AP, DGinova said the comments were taken out of context, adding that, quote, there's plenty of evidence in all of these cases to prove the theories of prosecution.

It just takes time to get there, and some people want to get there a little faster than others, and you just can't do that. So when he says this, you know, if you want indictments where there's no evidence, you have an ethical problem. Apparently, that's not. what he meant.

Yeah, I mean, it sounds like he's saying that people there wanted to work more quickly than the evidence allowed. And so he's certainly, to my ear, that sounds like he's criticizing the motives of some people involved. And all of the people involved are portrayed as like our saviors, our new best friends, secret white hats, what have you. Maybe they're not all that. And maybe Joe DeGeneva is a good guy. I'm just kind of sounding the alarm on that for people, and this gets a lot of attention.

I don't know, man. I'm, we are so many years past the crimes for which we are now seeking accountability and justice. It's, most of the country still doesn't even understand that these are crimes, that crimes happened, what the crimes would be, what it would mean, and the rest of it. So if this is just the wheel of justice turning slow, lowly fine. These news updates that we get every few months about how we are inching ever closer to this critical moment. A lot of this stuff seems kind of the stuff we're being told about in the big picture seems to be happening within that scripted layer within, you know,

you've got the great reset narrative to push that side of it forward. And then you've got the controlled opposition on that narrative to push the same thing forward and to kind of clear out all these controversies and scandals and stories that we've been told about over so many decades. They have to bring those stories to resolution so we can let that all go and welcome in the new system and think, oh, it's a new day in America. So that's the point of this entire program ultimately. And it's important, I think, to be able to distinguish between that stuff that is being scripted and we're watching that play out. And then the stuff that's happening in the real world in response to that scripting because the truth is people don't really want to have

their lives led by this this false story about what reality is most people don't even know what the hell's going on with this that's right they wouldn't even have the first idea i mean i i would be willing to bet you if you did you know man on the street type stuff you could go up to people and ask him who john brennan is and they won't tell they won't be able to tell you who john brennan is And that's not even getting into Peter Strach and Lisa Page and James Clapper. You know, they might be like, oh, I heard that name. Wasn't he a guy that was like in the Obama administration? And that's the extent of their knowledge.

They couldn't tell you Brian Brennan was, you know, X, CIA director or, uh, they couldn't tell you any of those things. Right. And the people who are familiar with him at all are probably familiar with him because they see him on MSNBC or MS now or whatever it's called. or you know and the same thing for characters like brennan on the other cable networks whatever they they recognize these people as tv characters and if you're watching ms ms now in the first place you probably hate donald trump so then you see john brennan someone with experience and the white hair and the reputation and the the gravitas in his voice and you see him saying all these bad things about donald trump on the basis of his privileged information as

former director of the CIA. And you think, oh, John Brennan, and he's one of those guys that I see on TV who's fighting the good fight against Donald Trump. And so, yeah, they actually, because of the way that John Brennan is relayed to most people, they probably, if they're familiar with him, they probably think he's one of the good guys. Let's get back into this article here, because it does have a little bit of kind of like a rehash in here.

Another source added that Digenova had been sharing quote unquote unrealistic expectations for the probe with the president about what was possible and not possible, leading to a confrontation with Attorney General Todd Blanche. Several prosecutors sent down from the main DOJ office in D.C. had been sidelined once they arrived. South Florida U.S. attorneys, the office led by Jason Kinnonis, began with the investigation in August of 2025, issuing dozens of subpoenas, subpoenas to former Obama officials like CIA director, former CIA director, John Brennan, ex-director of DNI, James Clapper, FBI agents Peter Strach, and the attorney, Lisa Page, were hit with subpoenas. In recent weeks, individuals have also testified before grand jury at one source adding that, quote, a lot of people are being brought in. Interesting. CIA director John Radcliffe had previously referred Brennan to the FBI for a criminal investigation in July.

after the release of the Lessons Learned Review from the Obama administration spy agency's assessment that Russia interfered with the 2016 contest to help Trump. That report cited Brennan and Clapper for becoming, quote, unquote, excessively involved in drafting the intel assessment through a quote unquote chaotic, a typical, and markedly unconventional process. Quote, this was Obama, Comey, Clapper, and Brennan deciding, we're going to screw Trump, Bradcliff told the post at the time. And is anything going to come of this? We just got the, what was it the, the Mike Flynn, the General Flynn thing. You saw that? I saw a headline or something. Was that toward the beginning of the week? It was yes. Well, me and Alpha talked about it yesterday,

but I think it, I think just the news published it on Tuesday. I think right. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, again, that's, I don't know if General Flynn being NSA, if that would have changed anything throughout the administration, but the implications of that, of them making up little nuanced things like adding in, what did they say? They added words that implied that Flynn knew about or had been speaking with Kisliak and had told Kisliak about what's coming and all this stuff. And it turns out it was all bullshit. it. You know, they re-edited the note, the FD 302, 302, 20 days later, I think it was 20 days later. They re-edited it, Strock, you know, said all these things. Flynn came out the other day and was like, if I had all this evidence in my trial,

I wouldn't have pled guilty. I wouldn't have taken a plea deal in this case. Again, they threatened to go after, you know, threatened to go after his son and everything else. Like, I don't know if this administration looks different. if Mike Flynn had been released on this, if he had been NSA, they obviously wanted him for a reason. But they've continued this conspiracy through things like that. When Strak and Page got their settlement from the, was it from DOJ or from the FBI? I can't remember which one specifically it was from. But they got a million bucks or so from that settlement.

I don't know, man. This thing, are we just going to see one day when everything comes out and we're like, oh, there it is. We've been waiting for this this whole time. Yeah, I mean, I guess we can all still hope for that day. I mean, we could just sit back and keep trust in the plan, I guess. Well, the thing that the thing is we should be doing the same things in our life, whether we are right about politics or wrong about politics,

whether we are right about Donald Trump, whether we are wrong about Donald Trump. If you want change in politics, if you want change in the way your life is governed by the systems that govern you, we got to get involved at the local level and try to make your influence felt there, arguing about a political soap opera that's being broadcast on our television is not going to solve the problem. Yep. And that's a Flynn thing too, by the way. That local action has national impact. Very much a Flynn thing. Also, you know, we go back to the quote-unquote Biden administration, and so many of us were engaged in that, you know, in the local change. And then Trump won. And so many people went back to, you know, just trusting the plan and just sitting back and we lost the local action.

we lost the local commitment we lost that drive that we had it's like you know thing are our guys in charge now so we'll just sit back and watch everything happen and uh and you're seeing i don't know uh yeah well everybody was everybody uh re learned the lesson because they were taught this by trump's most ardent supporters that our elections are real and that our solutions will be found through elections. And that's what the whole post-2020-4 election period was about. Was there any proof that the elections were real and legitimate within the states? Nope, none of it. Everybody just took Trump as the top-line winner and said, hey, these elections, they are good. We thought they were bad, but it turns out they're good. Otherwise, Trump couldn't have beaten Kamala Harris. You know,

like there was no way they could have said that Kamala Harris won that election without exposing to the overwhelming majority of the American people that our elections really are fake. I mean, the 2024 campaign was insane, and people don't really remember it because their emotions are too wrapped up in it while it's happening. But Donald Trump and Joe Biden were not even their party's nominees.

When they had the debate that took Joe Biden, the president, we're told, out of the running for his own reelection, And then with no input from the people whatsoever, he was just replaced with his fake vice president. And then she started doing these rallies, having never been able to attract anyone, Joe Biden included in having never been able to attract anyone. All of a sudden, his fake vice president who no one likes was just filling up stadiums. And oh, yeah, half the time she was joining pop stars to, like,

make use of their crowds. They were flying people around the country and putting them up to attend the same events over and over again. The whole thing is so ridiculous. Like there's no way we could have been told that Kamala won. It was narratively too big to rig. And everybody just took the lesson away that our elections are fine now and voting for Republicans in these fake elections.

That's enough to solve it. And so we live in the world where people think that's true. Who was the pop star that the teleprompter like broke? and they stopped on stage. They're like, I don't know what to say next. Like they couldn't even ad lib. I don't remember that. Oh, man.

Let me see if I can find that real quick. I think first she went to. It was so I think it was Megan the stallion. Megan D. Stallion. Yeah, that's the woman who danced for her at like the Philly rally or something. No, no, no. It was Cardi B. here it is. There's Cardi B. Wow. Oh, yes. I'm nervous. I'm excited. What's up y'all? One second, guys. One second. Imagine being the sort of thing that could convince you to exercise political power.

Don't take lightly the call. Sorry, guys. I'm a little nervous. I'm a little nervous. I've been waiting for this moment my whole life. And so the teleprompter went out. Is that is that what they said? What's that? The teleprompter went out and that. Yeah, she points. She points. to somebody in the back and she's like looking for her cue on what to say this is this is somebody that performs in front of tens of thousands of people you know every single night when she's out on tour half the time wearing next to no clothing talking about things is she the one that sings whap i think she is right carty v yeah yeah she's thinking about things like if you don't know what whap is don't look it up uh you probably not gonna you know whatever but and she's nervous

speaking to people like she's nervous because it's not her own thoughts it's not her own opinions she has no you know she's just there either to collect a check or to you know get the pat on the back or whatever the case might be she doesn't have her own independent thought she could not like this is somebody that if if it that you're trained you you have circumstances where something malfunctions and you know how to filibuster you know how to you know rile a crowd and she couldn't do any of that because you know It's all completely orchestrated, but sorry to go off on that tangent. Let's get into the Assovenoff portion of the show and talk about how fake our elections are. And we can start with this absolute gem from President Trump.

So please raise your right hand. I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States that loves a so much he can't even breathe that I will go out with my family, my friends. I'll do it anyway. I don't care if I'm registered or not. I'm going to try and cheat like hell like they do. There's never been bigger cheaters. I don't care. I am going to go out and I'm going to get my friends, my family, and we are going to vote on November 3rd or we are going to vote before that. Come on, repeat all that, guys. Right?

I'm okay, ready? Ready? Here's the way you're, okay, are you ready? Look, front row Joe's, are you ready? The great, oh, look at them. The great ladies of North Carolina is about number 300 rally. I don't know how to hell they do it. They are beautiful.

Okay, are you ready? Ready to finish the pledge. So we swear that on November 3rd, we are going to go out and vote. And you know what? If you want, you can vote Democrat, but I don't think there's one person in this room that's going to be. I don't think so. So I don't have to preface. I don't want to waste the words, vote Republican.

Just go out. If you vote, you're voting Republican. Okay. So help me God. Whoa. Wow. Now I love. Now, I'd say just about everybody was great.

You know what happens if you don't vote? You go to hell, you know. Well, because they just swore to God, I think he's saying. So please go and vote. Because together we will defeat the communists. We will reject. Are they chanting vote? Jeez.

This is a serious T.P. USA crowd, huh? Yes. We will defeat the Communists. We will reject, and that's what they are. They're not socialist. They're not Democrats. They're communists. We will reject these radical left lunatics.

We will demolish the extremist, fanatics, lunatics, and criminals who want to destroy our country. They want to destroy the country. There's something. Honestly, there's something. wrong with him it's amazing it's like if he was if he was doing performance art and satirizing american politics it would be indistinguishable from what he's doing i'm going to give you five thousand dollars if we win 500 dollars for your rebates um just you got to go to vote and if you

don't vote you're going to hell yeah you had to pledge to president trump so help me god and he said now if you don't go out and vote, you're going to hell. Amazing. Just kind of make it. I mean, I guess it depends on your perspective. There are people there that take that very, very seriously and think, you know, we have to make sure we vote harder. And then there's those of us that look at this like he's, like you just said,

satirizing the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, hey, man, if you're going to, if you're going to publicly pledge an oath to voting and say so help me God, I guess you better vote. But yeah, don't pledge public oaths like that. You're not supposed to do that. God doesn't want you to pledge an oath to participating in a political process.

Speaking of voting, Indiana Supreme Court declares winner in contentious Republican primary race. This is a very interesting story. The Indiana Supreme Court declared incumbent Senator Spencer Deary is now the winner of his primary act against Trump-backed Paula Copenhaver. The decision ends a months-long legal battle over who is the rightful winner. The initial count in the close race ended with Deary just three votes ahead of Copenhagenhaver. Copenhagener quickly called for recount, challenging ballots, and calling for voters to be subpoenaed. Apparently, there were a lot of crossover voters. The case went to the Indiana's recount commission, which upset Deary's win, tossing out a number of ballots for missing clerk's

signatures. The Indiana Supreme Court weighed in on whether the recount commission erred in tossing out just enough ballots to tip Deary's lead. Justice Jeffrey Slaughter asked whether the recount commission decision would set a precedent moving forward. Quote, they've decided in their existence of their discretion here that they aren't going to count ballots that are missing the clerk's signature and seal. Are they obliged to apply the same rule next time? Republicans raise concerns about the quote unquote crossover votes that Copenhagen initially pointed out. That discussion led to Republican Secretary of State candidate, Max Engling, calling for closed primaries. Deary is now one of only two Republicans to survive the primary

challenges brought by President Trump after he decided to vote against redistricting in December. So we either have election laws or we do not, Chris. And these votes were taken out because they were missing the signature and the seal of the clerk for the corresponding jurisdiction, you know, for the corresponding precinct, whatever. And that's required by law. The clerk has to sign the ballot or the, or the, I think it's the ballot. I don't know if it's a ballot or the envelope, but it has to have the clerk's signature. It has to have the seal of the clerk's office validating that it's authentic and that they've actually received it. The Supreme Court comes in, they're like, yeah, we're just going to ignore that rule and we're going to count these votes

anyways and by the way it flips the result to the guy that uh you know president trump was was railing against yeah laws your votes your votes only matter uh when they need you to believe that the vote actually matters somehow people still believe it matters all the time no matter how many fake elections we get it's incredible got to like i go back to the the totenberg decision in uh carling rogitzberger right you have the right to vote But your right to vote ends at you casting your vote. You have no right to ensure that your ballot is cast accurately. It's incredible.

So I pledge. Let's see, what else we got here? There's a lot of election news. So bear with me for a second here. Here's another one here. The appeals court hands Trump a loss on mail voting as Supreme Court considers his executive order. the fourth i think it was the uh little the which which court was it it was the what does it not say it says it just says an appeals court i thought it said which one an appeals court upheld a block on president

trump's executive order limiting mail-in ballots as the supreme court will be considering the same case the three judge panel refused to lift the preliminary injunctions issued by judge talwani in boston in massachusetts which prohibits the u.s postal service from implement implementing Trump's directive. Now, this was an interesting statement, and I want some clarity on what they mean here. The Postal Service has said it would not deliver ballots from states that did not pre-clear envelopes design with the federal government and submit a list of voters to an online portal, which has not yet to be activated. Are they saying that they're still going to go by that regulation, or was that what they were previously saying, and now that's come to an end? I don't know. Because remember, they went through with that order. Like, the judge was like, we're putting a, restriction on this rule, a restraining order on this rule, and the judge turned around,

or excuse me, the post office turned around was like, we're putting the rule out there anyways. We're publishing it to the federal register anyways. So I don't know. The panel of three judges nominated, all nominated by Biden. It's so funny how that works. The auto pen appellate court, the auto pen appellate court. That's what we will dub it. Agreed that the president does not have the power to regulate state's elections policy.

The panel wrote that Trump administration. had done little to dispel arguments by many election officials that the changes would bring, quote, chaos and widespread disenfranchisement. I don't know how it brings disenfranchisement. The chaos, that's their own fault. They've had since April to prepare for this. Good call. No, I agree with you 100% about that.

Yeah, you can't use, I mean, I don't know if that's, you know, the panel cites chaos and widespread disenfranchisement. I hope that didn't factor heavily into their decision. And that's just, you know, something that they're mentioning and passing. because that should not be what is used to either validate or invalidate this executive order. Quote, indeed, appellants have not seriously challenged this aspect of the district court's rulings, much less demonstrated why it's clearly erroneous. The government also hasn't shown evidence of past fraud to justify the restrictions,

the judges said. So apparently that's now like one of the barriers, the hurdles that they have to overcome is they have to show past fraud in order. if they would have brought past fraud into the case, the judge would have said, well, you know, this isn't a case making an argument for whether or not election fraud has previously occurred. That's something that would have to be decided by a court, whether or not this is evidence of voter fraud, election fraud. And that wasn't what was being argued here. But anyways, I'll throw it over to you for that.

No, no. Keep going. Well, the next thing up is kind of plays into it. But I do want to review because I put this out this morning on it. X. This is, the system as it exists compared to what President Trump is trying to do. The existing system without the executive order, the U.S. Postal Service does not have any voter information, so they're just sending ballots to whomever they're told to send them to, right? Send ballots all over the place. That's it. They're not doing any of their own checks that this is who we're sending it to. There's no federal standard for the envelope design or barcode assignment.

election officials can use tools like informed visibility, but there is no requirement to do so. So you can, states can choose to track ballots, but it's not mandated, like it's not law. Under 1439, it's mandatory for all federal elections, unfortunately, not primaries, only the actual general election. States must upload each male voter's name and address to a federal ballot mail portal before ballots are accepted into the mail stream to ensure that ballot. are going to legitimate or at least purported to be legitimate voters every outbound and return envelope must carry a unique intelligent mail barcode tied to that voter's portal entry and perhaps most importantly the postal service verifies the barcode against the portal before accepting the mail non-compliant ballot mailings are rejected and returned to the election officials it's not

a complicated system it is the same way that any system with any sort of accountability would have before you put something into the mail. So you know exactly where something's going, exactly where it's coming back from, and there's accountability down to that individual level. The fact that, like, the Postal Service puts restrictions and regulations, or not restrictions, but regulations in place all the time for things like certified mail, signature verification on mail,

all of these things. The idea that the president doesn't have the authority to order the Postal Service to follow the law the law and ensure that, you know, all means of enforcing the law are followed is kind of crazy to me. Well, also the idea that they could be surreptitiously enlisted in committing election fraud is a relevant factor as well. I mean, if the mail system is being used as part of the election rigging system, assuming of other things that aren't true about the elections are true. But if that was it, and they were using the mail for that, well, each and every time they did that,

that would be a crime in itself. And so the postal service should clearly be doing whatever they can to prevent that sort of thing, because if they're not doing that, and then they're used to commit election fraud, which is the overthrow of nations, then they are responsible for it as well. So keeping them out of that, I think would be the, like the lowest possible standard for the person tasked with making sure the law is faithfully executed. I do appreciate, you know, at least they're making it clear that they will, if you allow illegals to vote, if you allow illegal votes to be cast, that they're going to actually prosecute the election officials that are responsible because they've given them every out. They've given them every opportunity to do this. You know, me and Ash on why we vote, we were talking about the Department of Homeland Security and the pushback they're getting against the voter rolls because we were watching this.

Well, we didn't get to play it on why we vote, but we watched this David Becker meltdown thing, utter retardation. And when you see the states pushing back against DHS getting access to the voter rolls and then you compare that with 2020 and the buildup to 2020, going all the way back to 2016 and these local jurisdictions handing over a carte blanche all access to critical infrastructure to department of homeland security and not just that but doing it through an NGO right handing over access to their albert sensors all of their machinery and software security settings and everything else and handing it over to an NGO center for internet security doing it for free in order to entice the jurisdictions to take on this contract where was the pushback on that where was the federalization of election cries on that where was the you know and I'm sure that they can get access to voter rolls at that point you know I'd have to go back and look through the contract and see if it's explicitly mentioned in there but there's no pushback to that and now all of a sudden you've got 23 states trying to sue the DOJ so that they can't go through and run run these voter rolls to the safe the safe

system it's absolutely crazy and it's glaring hypocrisy yeah John and I were talking a little bit about this on Saturday because one of his executive orders, one of Trump's executive orders provided a 60-day window, these roles for the DHS, all that had to be completed within at that 60-day marker. And it was not. And the White House account put up the text of those two executive orders by Trump. I don't know what people think is going to happen. We are well under, what do we have, 55, 53 days, something like that, until this election and I mean how many how many different uh different avenues could you list brian where there are examples of these lawsuits that have not been completely decided

where there is confusion in a given state about what the process of the election is going to be i mean we are seven seven weeks eight weeks until this very important midterm election and we don't even know what system the election is going to be run under and people are still willing to hand over their consent to be governed to whoever the news says one that's nuts that so let's use that that's actually a really good segue into the next couple articles here uh as we continue on with the all shows are why we vote now um so on that same line we we don't know there's there's a a ton of cases that are still undecided that have very, very significant legal implications in terms of how the elections are administered.

US Postal Service failed to properly handle some ballots during this year's primary election audit fines. This is coming from ProPublica, which is Jen Feifield wrote that. And if you know who she is, he wrote a lot for I believe, I can't remember specifically which Arizona outlet it was, but correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't she the one who got kicked out of the Arizona audit for going in there with like a pen. He wasn't supposed to have pens and she went in there with like a pen. She does a lot of reporting on Arizona. And but anyways, keep that in mind that she's right, the one writing this article here.

Because this article is pure deployment. This article should not be written. By the article, by the article's own admission, the Postal Service did much better on this primary election than they did in 2024. But for some reason, they still put this article out there to get all of these talking points. That's all this is. This is an article that, you know, somebody like you or me who believe election fraud is widespread and, you know, throughout our entire system, we'll read this and we'll be like, oh, this is a great article. Look, they're saying there's problems. But in reality, this is just a way for them to get certain, you know, trusted sources on the record on a public, you know, so they can use this in other reporting. Check this out. The audit found a lack of training for

post office staff on how to properly and expeditiously handle mail ballots, deficiencies in how ballots were tracked and errors leading to delays. It's almost like President Trump put out an executive order to clear up deficiencies on how ballots are tracked, all of which risked ballots having incorrect postmarks or otherwise arriving late to election officials. The identified failures increase, quote, the risk that election and political mail is not handled, documented, monitored, and reported in accordance with postal service policy. The audit said it noted that, quote, most facilities we visited generally adhered to postal services election related policies and procedures, end quote, and that nearly 99% of ballots reached election officials in a timely

manner. But we got to get our pushback against the executive order on record right here. David Becker said that the audit confirms that the post office has, quote, a long way to go to meet its core obligations of delivering election mail in a timely manner. The administration and the Postal Service are simply incapable of successfully meeting vast and radical new responsibilities under the president's executive order. What new radical responsibilities would be in that executive order. I mean, I guess you would know better than I do if there was an actual answer to that question, but it's funny because we have been told for many years by people like David Becker and I'm assuming David Becker that the U.S. Postal Service does an incredible job getting our

elections, our vote by mail elections concluded successfully. Yeah. So that is kind of. of the that's kind of why this article has my head spinning because like I said on one hand they're getting all these authoritative sources that would put that are pushing back against president Trump's executive order on the record and you're getting them all on the record by saying the post office sucks it's really bad it can't do its job and so therefore we can't have the president come in here and make their job more complicated when in reality the president should be is streamlining the job with this and securing it, making it more secure, I should say, not securing it,

but making it more secure with this executive order. I mean, the post office has been around since the inception of our country. You know, it's, it can, is it the most efficient? No, has it evolved over time? Absolutely not. But, I mean, it's, I think it's capable of doing this job. And like you said, they've, they've touted it as, you know, fantastic and everything else over the last, decade or so. Let's jump back into this. Even if the Supreme Court allows the new rule to move forward, some state election officials say the requirements would be impossible to meet for the November election with mail ballots starting to go out this month. Chelsea Winninger, executive director at the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State. Really? Really? Like, we're going to go from

David Becker to the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State. What did Mark Elias say about this? Are we going to get his take on this? Maybe Norm Eisen wants to weigh in on this article. Said that the audit shows the Postal Service, quote, struggles to implement even basic changes to postal process consistently, end quote, and reinforces the organization's opposition to any new rules this close to an election. Now, here's why the article was completely unnecessary. Completed ballots from voters to election officials were processed, quote, unquote,

on time, nearly 99% of the time during the primaries, up from 98% in 2024 for the 6.3 million ballots that the Postal Service was able to track. What does that mean? Was able to track? Were there ballots that they weren't able to track? See, that's a problem. That's a big problem. That's a huge problem, actually.

But when observing election mail at 14 processing facilities and 73 delivery units across eight states, the auditors found significant flaws in the handling of of mail ballots. There were no election related training materials posted to 22 of the 73 delivery units, 30%. In some locations, local management employees weren't familiar with the requirements on how to process election mail. I don't know what to make of this article, Chris. Systems a mess, buddy.

They, you know, we've talked a number of times initially about how Trump was talking about canceling the fake elections. And now it seems like because he, he has thrown so much chaos into the system and is still marching forward, full-throated, telling people to get out and vote for Republicans or Democrats and saying he doesn't care about the midterms and the rest of it while still saying that everyone has to go out and vote and trying to fix these elections. Like if we don't pass the Save Act, then the election's not going to be trustworthy. Also, we haven't passed a Save Act and are not going to pass

the Save Act. But you still have to go out and vote anyway. It's all so convoluting. It's such nonsense. I think they thought he was going to lead the charge for canceling the elections. And now it seems like he's perfectly content for it, for the whole scam to go through and to allow them to try to figure out how they're going to describe whatever results they create to the American people because every explanation that they could possibly give at this point is going to fail. And I think that's hilarious to watch.

What if Trump had a spy in Chuck Schumer's little bit? wargaming the Politico's reported on several times. What if Chuck Schumer was his spy? That would be bad. That would be mind-blowing. But, you know, they came back and they're like, hey, these are all the things that they're planning for. They're planning on you trying to cancel the election.

They're planning on you trying to, whatever. And he's like, all right, I got them. $5,000 if Republicans win. You want $5,000 also pledge that you're going to vote or you're going to hell. Was that on your Politico roundtable strategy? game? Probably not. Let's jump back into this. In 14 states in Washington, D.C., officials count ballots only when they are postmarked by Election Day, but the audit found that in 10 of the 82 facilities, about 12 percent, management wasn't aware of the proper way to postmark a ballot.

Guys, if we don't know how to postmark a ballot, maybe we shouldn't be doing mail-in ballots, period. That should be the biggest takeaway from this article, not that Trump's exactly. executive order is too crazy. Not that the post office is actually really good at doing their job or that they're really bad at doing their job. If we have 12% of postal facilities that don't know the proper way to postmark a ballot, something they do for a living every day, 300 and whatever days a year that the post office is running, I think it runs on Sundays now. So every day. That's nuts. Some thought ballots should be postmarked at the time. that they go out on election to election offices instead of earlier on when they reach a processing facility or a retail counter. At five of nine mail processing facilities studied, retail clerks

who were postmarking ballots by hand sometimes use stamps with inaccurate dates. A facility in Pennsylvania caused 56 ballots to be postmarked with the wrong date. In 13 of 82 facilities, postal workers didn't complete proper procedures to make sure election mail had been sent out from delivery units on each day. At Harrisburg processing plants, at a Harrisburg processing plant, 108 ballots were grouped with other mail and had to be expedited to Pittsburgh

on the morning of the election so that they would count. There's a lot of things this article is doing. Go ahead. Just the postmark dates, those are like a critical factor in the legal adjudication that follows elections. So now you're telling me that they could postmark ballots with wrong dates, get out of here.

The date, the postmark date, well, that's the official record. That's literally the authoritative source. Once the thing gets stamped, look, that is the authoritative answer on when this ballot was mailed. You're telling me that that can be wrong? No way. What are we going to do if the official records can also be falsified? And when you start like really deeply wrestling with these problems, you realize why we cannot solve the election problems through the means that we have been attempting now for

the last six years. You're not going to get courts to fix this for you because the authoritative sources are not authoritative. They don't exist. And the legal system is set up to, like, allow these loopholes and these problems with the system to be exploited to no end. That's what lawyers get paid to do. Remember, well, the crazy part about this is, this was a big controversy specifically in Pennsylvania in 2020. Gorsuch ordered all of the ballots to be that were coming in after after election day to be put off to the side. And, you know, maybe they should have actually resolved that in 2020. Maybe there should have been some action over the last six years since the 2020 election to shore these things up.

Again, mail-in balloting itself. I mean, you're proving right now that, you know, it'd be like, going on a road trip, right? And you're going to your destination. Everything in your destination is planned out. You've got every single thing that you're doing there, every meal you're going to eat, everything figured out. But then you go to get in your car and you're like, you've got two flat tires, the check engine lights on, you're out of gas. The vehicle to get you to where you're going is fundamentally flawed. And, you know, Trump's executive order aside, the post office clearly doesn't know what the hell they're doing according to this report again the report 99% of ballots got there on time

so this report is nothing more than laying the foundation for something that they want to refer back to following the election i think that might be uh what their intention is with this with this reporting here and from the it's based on an audit but they're obviously nitpicking very small segments of a you know a 40 page audit on the on the post office and putting it in written form so that people can go back in instead of having to read the 40 pages, they can go just read Gen Fifefield's, you know, 10, 20 paragraphs on this and get David Becker's take on it. And the Democratic Associates of the Secretary of States take on it. Anyways, I just think it's so stupid, man.

Like, but here we are. We'll keep doing it. Yeah. We'll keep doing it. And we're going to, we're going to see so many things as this process, you know, as we get through the early part of November. And then we watch the weeks. follow as this whole thing rolls out and we're going to see uh we're going to figure out a lot of things

about what that uniparty right layer that still pretends to be trump friendly is all really about because after that point anybody who believes that we are dealing with a situation of real elections that determine who really becomes president and that's going to be what our future holds well donald trump at that point is going to be expired that's the point at which donald trump is going to be a lame duck and these people are going to act accordingly let's um let's take a moment and pause here and hit a sponsor i need to goose fraba from the uh from the mail and ballot goose fraba by the way is anger management calm down it's like in the movie anger management go so somebody the other day was like somebody was like what the hell is goose fraba mean and i was like dude it's what jack nicholas

son jack nicholas said jack nicholas said um adam sandler's character you to say, where you go. Well, you know, people are, people are so upset with your pronunciations, Brian. I don't care. I don't care. I saw some guy like yelling because Rava was one of those. Some guy said was yelling earlier because I say me and Ash. I have always said me and Ash.

I've explained why because Ash and I just does not sound right to me. So I say me and Ash. It's all good. And Joe DeGeneva is not going to care. Yeah, I couldn't care less.

So a couple of weeks ago when they arrested that woman that James O'Keefe caught and she got probation. And we were all like, man, that sucks. And she only got probation. I hope she became, you know, state's witness and was rolling on other people. It seems like this might be the slow leak of that potential operation.

Does federal agents captured an accused election fraud ringleader who allegedly paid Skid Row's homeless a few bucks each to sign California's ballot petitions using the stolen identities of real voters? James Brass, aka Lord, allegedly ran his scheme through a small company he owns called Pinnacle Brass, which is registered with the California Secretary of State. Brash was allegedly paid $41,600 from coordinators. working with an election petition management company to collect signatures for about a dozen different ballots. Jump down here. By the way, love to, like, that's the guy's home, apparently. I don't know about you, but when I see, I don't know, that many specific types of vehicles

in a driveway, I always have preconceived notions. you go you go down i mean if you're living in a house where you have a couch and four trash cans in front of your house you know and then you see like three bmws and a jacked-up diesel truck you know like 250 000 worth the cars yeah i always have my my suspicions brass pled not guilty he was ordered uh he was released on a 10,000 dollar bond with his trial scheduled for november 2nd the day before the elections how crazy is that day before the the elections, this guy's going to go on trial for potentially rigging an election. He's also charged in the two-count indictment where two petitioner circulators who allegedly

worked with him. One, Courtney Price from Jacksonville, Florida, I guess 3,000 miles is the place to the distance you travel to defraud the government. And Jatisha Heron of Boron, California. Probably get hit for that pronunciation as well. From February 2020, 26 through August of 26, the defense allegedly used a database to identify registered California voters on Skid Row, where they apparently handed out voters stolen identities and paid petition signers to copy the voters information and fraudulently sign the petitions themselves. Brass and Heron then turned the bogus petitions into several petition coordinators. Brass received approximately 41,000 for the working with the petition management company, Bill Isayle, the state attorney out there in California in Los Angeles.

has said he is pursuing, quote, a slew of election fraud cases. Well, that's a quote from New York Post, not from Assaley directly. So is this the continuation of whatever her name was? I can't even remember it now. That got probation for the plea deal that she took. Is this guy finally going to, like, that's what I want to see, Chris, is I want to see this guy have the book thrown at him unless he starts name and names about the petition. companies, the companies that are soliciting this type of work and whether or not they have knowledge

of how this is being conducted, right? Like they've got to have some, you got to have some checks and balances to ensure that if you're giving $50,000, almost $50,000 to, you know, some guy, you got to have some checks and balances to ensure audit his work, right, to make sure this guy's legitimate. I don't know, but one would think. Yeah. One would hope. I just realized I had the wrong thing up the whole time. Oh, well. And then the last election case here, if you wanted more legitimacy for our elections or illegitimacy, Missouri is poised to revert to former congressional districts after court rejects the Trump-backed map. Trump-backed map. So this is the battle that's been going on for over a year, but it's been really heated right down to the last possible moment.

It's gotten really heated over the last two weeks. The U.S. Court has now rejected again the new map backed that that Republicans had hoped to could help them win an additional seat. Now when they say that they rejected it again the first time they didn't hear anything. Kavanaugh was just like, yeah, I'm not hearing this. So a federal judge came in and overruled, well, essentially overruled the Missouri Supreme Court and said, go ahead and use the new map. The Missouri Supreme Court said, no, you got to use the 22 map. So you had conflicting you had conflicting orders from two different courts there. Missouri's chief election official has now directed local authorities to use the 2022 U.S. House District map. This decision means that

Missouri could run the November general election with different House districts than were used in the August primary. An extremely rare situation that could switch the candidate choices for more than a million potential voters, or nearly one in four voters statewide. No Supreme Court justices publicly dissented from the brief order. It did not detail the court's legal reasoning, as is typical in emergency appeals. If you needed anything, Chris, to tell you how illegitimate the elections are, Missouri voters are now going to have gone and voted for one set of candidates in the primary election, but much like the 2024 presidential democratic nominee the voters input on who that primary candidate is doesn't matter

they're just going to make you now vote for a whole other set of candidates yeah the funny thing about the primaries is that who people vote for actually doesn't matter in an even realer way because uh and a more obvious way i think the political parties are private corporations are private corporations corporations whose product is political candidates and they decide who is going to represent them in the elections that they run in conjunction with the opposition party. It's a uniparty. But yeah, the political parties choose who the candidates are going to be. I mean, I can't believe that we take seriously the idea that it happens any other way and that these private corporations are legally required to put in who the people choose.

Yeah. Well, that's why when I was reading the post office thing, when I put my post out about it, the unfortunate thing is even if somehow this executive order does make its way into, I don't want to say law, but into postal service regulation, it won't apply to the primaries.

And so I've been saying this since day one. The primaries are the most important election. of an election cycle because it is the way that if we did have free and fair elections and we did have honest elections that is the way that you are able to effectuate change otherwise the parties essentially you know primary elections are run by the parties they're not you know election officials orchestrated or administer it but the rules and everything are set by the by the by the parties and that's why you're seeing now you know with the 2028 election the democrats are just like oh yeah we're we're going to start primarying in South Carolina.

Because we get to pick and choose. You know, it's been this way for decades and we're going to change it all up. So anything that doesn't change the primaries is still inadequate. So, you know, it's, I just, I got a couple of clips we'll play at the end here to express how I think many of us feel. Lee Walden morning morning. Who authored the Patriot Act and was it not already to be dusted off for passage? Yeah, Joe Biden was complicit. in that drafting originally back in what was it 94 you know Chris wait for which thing

the patron acts yeah I looked that up because I saw that rant it and I think he must be referring to Joe Biden yeah I believe so thanks Lee Walden good to see you brother we took a shot at you last night a veteran onset rep but we always do that no we love Lee Lee Lee does the uh he does the talk to to text when he does his rant oh he talks in the to the phone so it's like I always you know he's my coasty buddy so we always you know alpha poke fun at him and he probably does it right back at us because you know crayon jokes and all that you just can't you just can't hear him yeah exactly exactly and he he'll DM me and yeah g henry one of two chinese nationals who owned main Canada border property and worked as customs

agent was arrested by steve robinson the main wire and there's a link to that article i will check that out thank you for that there we go thank you thank you g henry um g henry mainwire update 46 altered homeland security computers at three main border facilities might have served as espionage might have served unespionage purpose definitely going to read that after appreciate that pimple sam the return policy on the rico grand rugs has expired and i exchanged it for it canceling the midterms rug There are so many rugs available. You can step on really anyone that you want to.

You can. The rugs are infinite. The rugs are infinite. All right. So let's jump over to this since he brought up the ice thing, DHS. Bloomberg law, fourth court rejects mandatory detention policy. A divided fourth circuit rejected DHS's reinterpretation of a mandatory detention. law for migrants without legal status, finalizing a circuit split over whether individuals

taken into ICE custody are eligible for bond hearings. Why would you give bond to somebody that's in this country illegally? Why do they even get a day in court? You don't have the due process rights. I think Clarence Thomas established that in one of the recent hearings. You don't have the same constitutional rights from our government. government that we have as American citizens. So you have a choice, either prove you're an American citizen or you can't prove you're an American citizen. And if you can't, we can't let you go because you're just going to disappear. The Fourth Circuit is the last regional appellate court, joining eight others in rejecting the administration's position. Only the fifth and eighth circuits

have endorsed the government's interpretation. The first, second, third, sixth, seventh, ninth, 10th and 11th have concluded that non-citizens living in and detained in the interior of the country are eligible for a bond hearing. Section 235 has historically been reserved for non-citizens arriving at ports of entry, but DHS announced last year that it has, quote, revisited its legal position, end quote, and is now of the view that all non-citizens encountering DHS for the first time are subject to mandatory detention. If the court were to agree to the government's position, it would need to agree that Congress, quote, intended to direct the single largest mass detention of human beings in our nation's history, end quote, when it passed the law 30 years ago,

said Judge Nicol Berner, a Biden appointee, who also is responsible for making it the largest indirect single or the largest direct single mass detention in human history. Congress is unlikely to have done so, quote, without so much as a mention of the logistical difficulties or moral implications of such a massive undertaking, Burner said. Now, before we get into how the United States of America, the United States, not these is the largest mass detention of people. Newsweek had a clip out here that was hilarious. From one of the judges in that same judge, Burner, quote, mass detention of marginalized individuals without due process harkens back to some of the darkest moments in our country's history,

end quote. The judge pointed to the detention of Chinese immigrants under the Geary Act in 1890s, in the 1890s, and the wartime internment of Japanese Americans, noting that nearly 120,000 people were sent to internment camps during World War II. The court argued that those historical detention programs were, quote, limited in scope compared with the detention authority the government claimed Congress created through a disputed interpretation of immigration law.

We declined to do so, the judge said. Comparing detaining illegals to what we did to the Japanese during World War II, Japanese Americans during World War II is insane. Americans do have due process, whether they're Japanese Americans, Italian Americans, Irish Americans, German American, whatever they are. They do have rights under the Constitution. I think we would both agree to that. Comparing like the Japanese internment camps to detaining illegals indefinitely until they're deported is crazy. Yeah, I agree that those are two entirely different situations for sure. I mean,

One of them, you get into the act of war stuff. Again, we just did the siege last night, and part of the movie The Siege shows the U.S. under martial law and the military rounding up Muslims and putting them in detention camps. The one that they show is like in a stadium or whatever. And that is in response to acts of war on American soil. And so that is certainly more understandable. But, you know, when the problem gets to be this severe over this many years, just on a practical level, like, how are you supposed to solve that problem?

And I think no matter what the solution is, there's going to be some compromise and principles. So you have to get down to really what do you want the government to look like? And what do you think, like, do you think that there are natural human rights or natural rights or human rights? And these are different categories of quote unquote rights. But do we think that being a person grants you those, even if you don't have immigration status in the United States of America? And then how much can we make that comport with the practical concerns about this enormous invasion that we've sustained for decades now? I again, Thomas, Justice Thomas in that one case, and I can't remember off the top of my head, which case is, it was, but, you know, made clear that the illegals don't. So our rights, we all have rights,

right? The Constitution protects our rights from our government infringing on those rights because, you know, we're a part of this country. If you're not a part of this country, I don't know that you have those same rights inside of our country. When you go back to your country, you should absolutely have those rights. I think you should absolutely have the right to say whatever the heck you want to say. to you know own firearms to protect yourself your family against a tyrannical government you know against a legal search and seizure of your government but you can't come into our country you know it's like in well i don't i don't want to break it down at the familial you know in your own home level

right this would be like somebody else coming into my home and saying oh i have the right to everything in your home i have the right to you know you can't yell at me in your home if i'm in your home you don't have the right to kick me out of your home absolutely I do. This is my space. And as an American citizen, this is our space. You know, I'd like it more to get down to that state level again. But in the meantime, this is our space. You can't come over here. And if you're not, anyways, I'll land there. No, I'm with you. It's, yeah. It's clearly a more complicated problem than the political slogans would indicate. Yeah. Um, kind of a headline on this story. there's nothing new on it, but RFK Jr's investigating whether troops died a COVID vaccine.

Army doctor says this is Colonel Theresa Long, who I've had the opportunity of interviewing her. A couple years ago, I had the opportunity of having dinner with her and a group in Alabama and at an event that I was at. She was in that hearing that Ron Johnson did many years ago, right? Yes, she's been all over. She has been an absolute rock star when it comes to. supporting the troops in COVID. Yeah, okay.

Just wanted to make sure that my reference was. Sure. She was a flight surgeon. She was also a helicopter pilot herself. And her presentation that she did when I was in Alabama's, Clay had asked me to come up there for an event and he spoke at it. And when I interviewed her, I have it up on my Rumble still, rumble.com slash CanCon if you search Teresa Long.

I think there might have been some audio issues. I think we got it figured out on her interview, but just an absolutely fantastic interview. So she's going to be investigating. It says in an August 14th deposition, Colonel Teresa Long, I will give her the Politico doesn't, but I will give her that acknowledgement.

Colonel Teresa Long said that Secretary Hegseth detailed her to be Kennedy's senior medical military advisor. As part of her role, Long said that she will be looking into whether after 2,544 unverified deaths among service members reported to the HHS vaccine adverse event reporting system, Vairs, were caused by the COVID vaccines, long told the court she hoped to be finished with their research quote within a year. That's the first time. I mean, I've heard about, you know, sterility issues, miscarriages, cancer rates, and everything else. That's the first time I've heard

2,544 deaths attributed to military members in VERS. Yeah. And I don't mean to make light of this, but that's almost the amount of deaths from 9-11 that we discussed earlier. And that's just in a faction of the military, you know, less than 2 million people. That's not even including the entirety. Also, that is the healthiest population per, you know, on average that we probably have, military members, right?

These are people that wake up every day. and have to live by a health and fitness standard. And, you know, we learned through the pandemic that those were the people that were, quote, unquote, the quote unquote pandemic, that those are the people that were least affected by the COVID disease, whatever you want to call it, pandemic. So I look forward to seeing what Colonel Long puts out. Again, I've seen her presentation a couple times, a few times now. And I think that I think she's already got what she needs. And now it's just a matter of putting it all together in a presentation. So hopefully it's not within a year. It's much shorter than that. This is the last thing before I play these next two clips that'll kind of close out the show. Andy Bashir, governor of Kentucky, calling out Mitch in his little press briefing yesterday.

So on Monday, the Senate is scheduled to return on the course. question is, will Senator Mitch McConnell be there? I have still heard absolutely nothing from the senator. He has been absent from work for, what about three months now, which is unacceptable, has been unwilling to go to camera, to call in to any news program, just to let people know he's okay or show that he still has the capacity to serve. For some of those online that wonder why you can't just storm into wherever he is, he is in D.C., which means that I think John Thufeb, head of the Senate has a responsibility to check on him and report to the American people. He will not do it. This is the leader of a Senate who says it's not his job to make sure that other

senators have the capacity to serve. That is shameful. And only the Senate can declare a vacancy within their chamber. I mean, if a state elected governor could do that to a federal official, we would have seen a lot of crazy things happening over the year. But if he is not, they're on Monday, he owes an explanation to. the American people to the people of Kentucky. You can't not show up for work and not call and talk to your boss. And his boss is the people of Kentucky. But it also shows how broken this Republican-led Senate is. They don't think they have a boss. They don't think they answer to anybody. And I think in this set of elections, the American people have to remind them that they do.

Oh, Andy Bashir. I mean, he's got a decent point. But of course, Oh, yeah, he does. Oh, yeah, he does. Ridiculous premises about how things are going to go and what the current relationship that the American people have with their government actually is. Mitch McConnell is actually a much better example of the relationship we have in our government. He is not an anomaly. And Bashir's treating him like an anomaly that can be solved with elections and the rest of it. I mean, this is what our government is.

I want to, I want to play two clips to get out of here for the weekend. But before we do that, we do have to talk about our final two sponsors. And first up, we've got our very own soft disclosure. Court is now in session. Your Honor, the defense calls Mr. Dry Skin G. Money to the stand. We're going to pretend I didn't hear that. Mr. Dry Skin, isn't it true that soft disclosure is proudly made right here in the United States, while directly supporting six American small businesses?

I reckon. Isn't it also true that soft disclosure is made with honest natural ingredients without the harsh chemicals so many people are trying to avoid? Unfortunately. And isn't it true it's made with the help of adorable baby goats? Can't argue with the goats. The goat reminds the gallery that livestock will conduct themselves appropriately. Bless your flaky little heart, Mr. Dryskin. Your Honor, the defense would like to submit Exhibit A.

Proceed. Cindy H. writes, Honestly, the best lotion I've ever used. Exhibit A is admitted. Exhibit B. I use it on my face and hands, yet compliments on looking much younger. Mr. Drake, I appreciate your enthusiast. Not greasy at all. Clean feel compared to other lotions.

Vanilla citrus has a nice light scent. Well, that is just showing off. Tyrone writes, I find myself hydrating my elbows and moisturizing my soul a lot more frequently now. The defense rests. All right. Softdisclosure.com promo code justice. Save you 15%. Also, be sure to sign up for the email list to get exclusive discounts. And be sure to moisturize your soul and also your skin.

Like, don't, don't ingest. It's probably safe to ingest because it's all natural and it's beef tallow and all sorts of other natural ingredients. But don't ingest it. Just put it on and like lather it on. Got the beard oil. I've got the new beard oil. It's so good. Love it.

Yeah. Oh yeah. It's so good. So good. And then let's talk about Gart coming up next week. Patriots, the fight for truth doesn't stop at the screen. It's hitting the road again.

It's going to be fantastic. Garts are always fun. It's always great to see everybody to see all my colleagues and all of, you know, the audience and the badlanders and just so many familiar faces. We love it. Cannot wait. Indeed. All right.

That'll be fun. Back to the ahern. Back to the ahern. The karaoke ahern. That's always ghost up there doing karaoke. That was at the ahern. He's not going to be there. No, he won't be here, be there this year.

So somebody's going to have to fill in for ghost in the, in the karaoke spectrum. All right, I got two clips I want to play that'll kind of get us out of here. And, you know, this one started out with like really kind of a normie take, but I, I, I freaking love it. I don't know why. This was on Anchorman with Matt Gates. Have you seen this yet? No, I have not. All right.

So check this one out. A couple things before we move on. I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship or America is with, with this podcast or yeah, in the podcast, David, with the with the GOP because they keep promising, I'll do better next time i won't hit you again next time just give me another chance please how many chances do we give them i mean they've they've screwed us so many times secondly you said that the congress has been doing their job you know 40 trillion dollars in debt really they've been doing their job no screw that well three i have a conservative neighbor you think democrats are going to spend less

i have a conservative i'm just saying like i've heard this argument before he's from georgia you know a good old boy doesn't really follow the news still conservative intelligent guy he's got a pilot's license we were talking the other day i mentioned the gop doing this or that and he goes what's the gop he's not watching this he doesn't care about this but he did complain about gas prices he did complain about his bills that's what matters and that's the people that we're losing with all of those and by the way those are the people donald trump brought together and motivated to come out of and elect him in multiple elections. Those are the forgotten Americans.

And I don't think they want a geopolitical lesson. And I don't know that they want an economics lesson. I think they want improved conditions where they live. That's what makes sense. That is how any political movement ultimately gets judged. All right. So that's the first one. And, you know, that kind of cringe when the guy comes in with the tired,

oh, you think the Democrats are going to do any better? No, they're not. But they're going to be equally as awful. as the Republicans. It's just the things that are equally awful will be less awful to us with the GOP in slightly less awful than the other way around. And, you know, most of the resentment that we're going to have is going to be manufactured resentment through news reporting and everything else and not actual things that we see or feel. But it's they're they're telling us to be mad because they want to, you know, they want to forgive student loan debt or they want to, you know, abortion again or this and that and the other thing. And. just so fucking retarded man just with you there and then the last one this is going to hurt some feelings but uh jordan i saw posted this and i thought this was fantastic also i love aaron rogers as i'm sure you do right now i'm sure you do uh yeah yeah i've always been a fan of i've always thought he's an excellent quarterback and i was excited to have him on the steers last year

i'm excited to have him on the steelers this year and i'm looking forward to seeing what he does I think that he gets a few things wrong here, but I think it's great that people are talking about these subjects. I think I know what you're going to say he gets wrong, and I think I, but let's play it. There's no MAGA movement. There's no Make America Great Again movement

because the guy you elected hasn't done any of his campaign promises. And it just realizes you think something's going to actually change. You know, when Obama's president, you think that everybody's like, oh, there's going to be hope. change for a better world. Like is anything in the black community gotten significantly better? Is anybody better off?

Did the Affordable Care Act make a major difference in the world besides being an extra tax, you know, for the rich, is healthcare that much better in this country? And then Trump's going to come in and drain the swamp and do something and nothing happens and nothing changes. Then they roll out that old bag of bones. That was a wild four years. And then you just bring back in the, you know, the guy from the TV show who's going to, okay, now he's really, this is second administration. Now he's really going to change things.

Politics is a total shame. Remember, he had the influencers go there where they gave, they gave them the fake. They're holding them up. And like that total thing, never got it, never got anything in there. And that was my biggest issue with it is they said, first day in office, I'm going to release the Epstein files. And we've all been waiting for it. This is a big sci up, the whole thing. The whole, politics is a crazy sob.

If voting actually mattered, they wouldn't let you do it. That's the, that's the truth of it. I don't know if Mark Twain said that. Somebody, George Carlin probably would have said that for sure. But it's like George Carlin, who's way ahead of his time. He'd be incredible in this time. But he said, there's a big group. And you ain't fucking in it.

You ain't a part of it. You ain't a part of it. And that's the truth. So we should be skeptical of all of it, everything they say to us. That clip I can actually get 100% on board with. I thought you were talking about. There's another clip where he talks about Trump and APAC and stuff. You know, I get the reading of Donald Trump as someone who has not done the things that he said he was going to do.

I think that is an incorrect take. I shouldn't say 100%. That part of it is incorrect. But the rest of it, he's, I think, totally spot on. I think I understand his frustration as somebody, you know, I don't know the, I don't know the political sphere that that Aaron Rogers is in. I think from a normal, from a normal person that doesn't listen to programming like this and doesn't, get into the nitty gritty on things and isn't tracking news on the on the lower levels like we on the the deeper levels I should say like we are right nobody's going to talk about some of the court cases

that we talked about today nobody's going to get in depth on those they might read a headline on it and be like oh that that's it but they're not tracking it historically like we are president Trump is operating right now within the confines that he is able to operate in and even then we're seeing them just throw lawsuits at him left and right to try and thwart that effort. So, you know, again, I, I kind of agree with, I think it was, I think it's Bibi that has this theory that, you know, this is the arc that Trump has to take as the bad guy in a lot of these, in a lot of these scenarios. And I agree with that. And I, you know, that Trump is taking the bad guy. We didn't get the Epstein files. Like, he never promised them. I agree with John on this. He never promised him.

But like, everybody attributes that promise to him. We never got the, the Epstein stuff. I still think the DOJ is working on that. That's my take. Isn't it strange that he blames the president and not all of those influencers? Well, I mean, he definitely takes shots at the influencers, you know. Oh, good. Okay. I missed that. Yeah. Yeah. He's like, they look ridiculous out there holding up those binders. And I think that was, you know, part of part of it all. But, but again, you know, do you want in a situation like that, you know, and with all of this, you know going back to the to the joe de genova uh de janova whatever his name is joe when you go back to that story do you want to do you want to hear about it in the media and feel good about it or do you

want them brought before a judge and face you know a jury of 12 years you're not going to like this isn't something you can just snap your fingers and get all of this done uh so you know i kind of of I'm hesitant, you know, come two years from now or six years from now, whatever the case might be, if none of this gets accomplished, then I'll look back and say, yeah, we got a lot of stuff that Trump exposed. We got a lot of stuff. But there's a lot of stuff that we were told was going to get done and did not get done. And we need to be very, very scrutiny. We need to scrutinize that. But at the same time, we are infinitely further down the road towards what Aaron Rogers is saying at the end that all of this is a fucking sham. Yes. It's all a sham.

and that if election if voting was most important we think that we do they wouldn't let us do it and and he's right that was mark twain by the way yes it was mark twain the the big club in you ain't it is george carlin that's right yeah but that is one of my that that is such a good quote though if elections were the most it were so important they wouldn't let you do it and they don't let's do it they just the idea that that this like global entity is going to turn over control of the most powerful nation that ever existed because of bunch of people who are addicted to a political soap opera that plays out on their screens every day, went down to the local high school and press some buttons on an iPad. That's absolutely crazy.

It's crazy to believe that. And it's like I don't know what it's going to take for people to wrap their heads around that. And I get why it's difficult because it changes the understanding of what our society is and what our history is and what it all means. And I understand that nobody wants to actually go through that thought process and try to reconcile that with the world as it is. But it nonetheless is that way. You can't just avoid it. I agreed, man. I agree.

I, man, I, Rogers went ham on Fauci and the COVID stuff. And he's, he's talking about elections there. That'd be fantastic if we could get a voice like, like Aaron Rogers to actually look at some of the evidence that's actually out there and say, hey, you know what? These guys that they've been saying conspiracy theory, they called me a conspiracy theorist for all the vaccine stuff.

They called all these guys conspiracy theories for all the election stuff. They still, to this day, do it. It's obligatory in every article that the Mockingbird media writes about the election. Hey, guys, they were right. You know, he's got some street cred now after the Fauci thing and the Pat McCaffee outburst. I would love to see that, man. Aaron Rogers, I love Aaron Rogers.

Brilliant guy. If you've ever watched him on Celebrity Jeopardy, like he hosted the show. That's how good he on that show that they're like, you just be the host. You can't keep come here because you crush everybody. But anyways, I think just the last thing to say, you know, I totally take your point and agree 100% about the fact that Trump has kind of opened a lot of eyes and made people understand things that probably couldn't have been understood in different ways. I think all of that is awesome. And whether Trump is the greatest hero that ever lived in America, or he's a villain that walked us into the Great Reset,

like he has opened people's eyes. And if your eyes are opened, then it is your responsibility to do the right things and to figure out what those right things are. And, you know, getting, understanding that the solutions are not going to come through national politics is just a fundamental baseline to get past.

At some point, we have to take responsibility for our own lives. if six or 10 or 20 years from now, things haven't changed, well, then opening our eyes to these problems didn't mean anything. And is that on Donald Trump? I don't think so. I think it's on the people to improve their own conditions. He was the gateway, though. I mean, how many?

Oh, yeah. And I think it's great. Again, I think it's awesome either way. If Trump is doing this by accident because he's actually working for the enemy, this thing is still done and we can still take advantage of it, and we can still carry it forward. just in the chat jump in the chat press a one if uh if you are a reformed bush republican a two if you're a reformed liberal or a three if you've always been totally based maga let's see how many

we get i'm definitely a reform bush republican and i owe that to president trump and uh you know i i would say even maybe at the beginning of his first term i was still in that in that kind of kind of Bush idea, mindset of the Republican Party. And I think that that is one of the biggest things that we'll see. And I'm surprised a lot of twos, a lot of twos in the chat. Wait, what was what was two again? Two was reformed liberal. There's so many base though.

There's a whole bunch of people that were totally based before Trump. I don't know about all that. I don't know about all that. I'd have to see some posts from 2015 that you guys were talking about. well, I mean, 9-11 was inside. If that's the, if that's the, if that's the, if that's the foundation for whether or not you were based pre-Trump, then I was based. So I'm a number three. But if you were talking about the opium war in Afghanistan in 2015, I don't know.

I was still, I was still a mindset of going out there and killing all them. All right. Let's, we had a couple more rants come in at the end there. And Lee Walden, always out here. here in the storm, you might say, I'm, what did say? I'm Operation Overwatch, Popeye is my hero. See, there's like no punctuation there. So let's just read it as Lee Walden means it to be.

Always out here in the storm, you might say, I'm Operation Overwatch, Popeye is my hero. Lee, I'm going to give you a, this is like Jackie's into the matrix segment on Alpha's Make Sandwiches. I'm going to give you a hint here. When you do talk to text, if you say period, it's going to put a period. It's not going to write out, period. So if you say, always out here in the storm, period, you might say I'm Operation

Overwatch, period. Popeye is my hero, exclamation point. It's going to do that. It's crazy. And I'm not being sarcastic. Like, I'm not being sarcastic. It actually is crazy that it does that. Love you, Lee, man.

Jep 863. As an American citizen, you were afforded rights and protections. under the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That's the point of being a citizen. If you're not, you get basic human rights. I agree with that. There you go. Good stuff.

Sleep State. I always mix up Joe D. with Ron Jeremy. Don't mix that up, man. Don't mix that up. One's Joe Dirt. One's Joe Dinova. One's in prison for rape. Chris, what you got coming up?

well I'll be on DPS tomorrow night yeah gosh I'll be on DPS tomorrow night I think I'm gonna post something later on sub sac I've been kind of batting it about my head whether you know I've written so much over the last year and haven't published any of it and so I'm starting to think about maybe ways to publish kind of a little bit of that so that my subscribers get stuff while I'm you know writing 10,000 word long pieces for my book and whatnot. Yeah, look for that. Well, I talked about this, this black wall, white wall thing on, on DPH on Saturday night. And so this is just kind of the essay version that I wrote like six months ago. So yeah, it'll be good, I think. I have not been,

because of my back injury, I have not been playing softball on Sundays, which is usually when I get, well, that's usually like the drive to my game and the drive home is usually when I listen to, because there's nothing else. What you do to your back? I don't know. compress the L5 pinch nerve. I'm good now, but it took like a month, dude. Took like a month. So, um, it's miserable. It is absolutely getting old sucks, bro. I sure does not recommend it. Uh, Hey, Brian, as a Marine, how much do you love candy corn? I'm actually not a fan of candy corn. I'll eat that. Is that a Marine thing? I don't know.
