Badlands Media - Devolution Power Hour Ep. 464: CA Ballot Heist, CIA Gold Bars, and Trump's Pardon Blast

Episode Date: June 7, 2026

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open the Saturday show with the Los Angeles mayoral election slowly being stolen in plain sight, breaking down the New York Post video that tries to explain away helicopter ballot deliveries, six-day postal delays within the same state, and centralized ballot processing as mere quirky California inefficiency. Chris Paul dismantles the "incompetence not malevolence" framing live on air and makes the harder argument: no legitimate government can be formed if no election result is verifiable by anyone. The SAVE Act's chicken and egg problem gets illustrated perfectly by Elon Musk's own posts. Then NSPM 11 drops, revealing two classified directives nobody knew existed, with the AI national security memo prompting a sharp conversation about autonomous warfare and the surveillance implications of AI having access to everything. Trump's pardon of Steven Beyer gets a deep look: it is the only pardon this term where Trump publicly named every recommending official, all current or former elected representatives, and Jon makes the case he is deliberately putting congress members on blast for backing an insider trading conviction. The show closes on the CIA's David Rush, arrested with 303 gold bars, who built a fake continuity of government program inside the CIA while the Washington Post ties itself in knots insisting only five people knew about a program four of them just described to a reporter.

The Badlands, one of the Badlands, explain those badlands. That's a hell of a name. Every four years we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power. Today's ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one administration to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C., D.C. and giving it back to you, the people. For too long, a small group in our nation's capital

has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its wealth. This American carnage stops right here and stop. and stops right now. The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer. From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land. From this day forward, it's going to be only America first.

Well, good evening, everybody, and welcome to the Saturday edition of the Devolution Power Hour. As always, I'm joined by the one and only Chris Paul. Chris, how's your weekend going? It's going great, John. Yeah, I love that enthusiasm. It's going to be a great show. So, glad you're enthusiastic about it. Instead of just, you know, persisting. 100%. Raring to go. Yes. The horrors, I mean, are they even around anymore? I don't know. They seem to have kind of died off a little bit and maybe taking a new form. Hunter Biden's on Twitter and I don't know what to think of that man it's actually kind of entertaining we got to talk about that side a little bit for sure because when I used to think horrors

Hunter Biden was like one of the first things I came to mind but now it's it's kind of funny to watch him participate if that's even him no reason to believe it is but for potential AI videos I mean anything is possible yeah but yeah we got lots to discuss on I feel like the California election stuff last episode that we did together Saturday. We talked about California, Spencer Pratt, they're going to steal it,

all those things, we'll see what happens, and now they're stealing it. And there's been some interesting, like, everybody's talking about the U.S. attorney is investigating down there, and then the U.S. attorney comes out.

I don't know if you saw this, but he has a post that's like, yeah, there's a conspiracy theory running around about the elections down there, and that's false. Well, it was a specific one, though. It wasn't like there's no problems

with these elections. Yeah. Right. We'll get into that. We also, we got a new NSPM, super rustled Jimmy's by that. We'll talk about that tonight because it revealed two more classified ones. Interesting pardon from Trump. We got an update on the CIA officer story.

I think we have more. That story's fantastic. So silly. So silly. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see where the show takes us. Obviously, whatever you guys in the chat have to say, we'll maybe include that as well if it comes in rant format. So I figured we could start off the show with a quick sponsor.

Who do we even have to? I don't even know if I checked. We got a couple of Rumble ones. So let's start with some soft disclosure. We'll do one of the Rumble ads. And then we'll come back a little bit later and do the other Rumble one. First up, get yourself some lotion from the Lotion Raider, everybody. A long, long time ago, the Raider went to a dangerous cave.

Because he was on an invention. More like he smelled like an adventure. But the cave was protected by spiders and lizards. No, it was snakes. Snakes, why did it have to be snakes? Whatever it was, the raider wasn't scared of it because of his ghost. The lotion raider. Then he found the golden.

The older went off disclosure. Ghosts had exactly one second to switch it. Or the whole cage. More on a fact. No. along in every house visit softdisclosure.com and use promo code 10% off softdisclosure.com i mean i know our ads are awesome guys but seriously the project is awesome too so get yourself some soft disclosure uh have you been paying such i know you have we

have been texting about it the hockey game i only looked at it when burning bright texted about it so i what's going on now uh carolina scored three goals in the third if r it's four to three yeah wow the last time something like that happened it was uh the shut up shut up were you about to talk about the minnesota wild yeah okay oh my heart's broken still that's how it goes how dare you beat us like that only to go on and get swept by the freaking nights. Anyway, thank you,

Prevos in the chat for keeping us up to date on the score of that game. Wow, that is crazy. Yeah. In like eight and a half minutes. Yeah. I mean, Vegas scored four goals

in the third. And I only saw that, I didn't see any of the actual goals, but I saw they had two that were called back because of one was an off-sides, one was a goaltender interference. And then they went on to score like four more.

That counted. And now three from Carolina in the third. It's crazy shit. Anyway, let's talk California elections. We got a great video from, I think this is the New York Post. Yeah, this is there's so much crazy shit in this video. Yeah, do you want to like, pause it or whatever. Okay, let's do it.

The election being stolen in California. So let's pause it here first. Because just the way he says that, he almost makes it seem like, you know, obviously not. That's retarded. Like just the tone of his voice. also he looks like a character from golden eye on the n64 odd job except it's not odd job it's the other guy all like the russian giant or whatever yeah let me look that up that's so true that was golden eye or uh then after that they made this game called perfect dark and there are definitely

characters in perfect dark that this guy looks like and somebody in the chat for sure i bet more than one person will be like oh yeah i know exactly exactly what reference that is is it one of these guys gosh i miss this game i got to play this one of these days but those are like the photos i mean how they look over on the side you see yeah i got to find that guy with the the suspenders just so that they can get a like an idea of what faces could be forgiven for wondering. He reminds me of the guy who is outside in the Russian cemetery. Do you remember that scene?

In the video game? Yeah. No, but I'm going to look that up while we're listening to this. Okay. Is the election being stolen in California? You could be forgiven for wondering because of the slow pace at which ballots are being counted and the number of critical races that are yet to be decided. Okay, so I think we should stop it a bunch of times and talk about what he's

a year totally he's basically accepting the country is having this conversation so we are going to be we as the authoritative people who go and find out whether there's actually something wrong we're going to let you know how to understand this take for example the race for los angeles mayor hold on i found it okay oh that's not i got to show the right screen the same guy that's him that's him that's so good god what a good reference how'd you think of that oh no man he's probably got a brief cave of some ballots right there yeah he just got off that helicopter that they sent with the ballots in l a lady just see that shit yes i didn't see that i'll pull that video up too for after this city council member nitsya ramen keeps creeping

closer and closer to second place finisher spencer pratt It would be kind of funny for somebody with the first name Rahman to come back and win. She's a socialist too, isn't she? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's like the Los Angeles Mamdani. Yeah.

Okay. As more votes are counted. That has sent the prediction markets into a tailspin. And now many of them are saying that ramen has a better chance of beating incumbent mayor Karen Bass than practice. Okay. So the prediction markets are in a. tailspin and that is news and many of them are saying that ramen has a better chance than Pratt. What does that mean? It doesn't mean anything. How can that mean anything? It's just people

deciding whether or not like which thing they think is going to happen. Yeah, just whatever they want to bet on. I mean, that's not an aspect of election analysis, but it's being inserted. Yeah. It's like a certainty. Sorry, go ahead. No, I'm just trying to like elaborate kind of on a metaphor here. So think of a roulette table and you go and put like 50 bucks on, I don't know, black 22 or whatever. Is that the game roulette?

Like where you pick the color on the number? Yeah. Black 22. Does your bet on that black 22 move the odds of it landing on black 22? I don't think that's how it works. No, it does not. No. So, yeah. And the parallel works, no matter how many people, bet that it's going to happen one way or another. That doesn't change the quote unquote votes that are being counted, does it? Unless they're just, unless they're just gauging public perception.

Which is totally what they're doing. Love it. Okay, let's keep going. By the way, what's going on with their forehead hairs here? See that? I have you're not allowed to talk about black women hair John yeah I mean I'm just I'm not an expert either I'm not trying to claim I am but just looking at that it doesn't look normal like for any color hair like it looks like it's growing onto her forehead and I feel like somebody with her kind of money which I got to assume she's has being the mayor of LA she's probably got enough money to like do something about that but whatever we'll move on that does but never put down to malevolence what could

be explained by incompetence no no no no that is absolutely backwards never excuse as incompetence that which would make perfect sense if it's malevolence what in the world what kind of uh like cipher for truth is that it's a completely backwards one because these people are participating in the siop of the fraudulent elections yeah it's unbelievable the way he's just able to stand there like programming people dude I gotta give a big shout out to let me show this

Janaya Johnny A or whatever gifted a sub and you got the subscription so congrats Chris you're a subscriber to Badlands Media you got it no you got it right here

this is this is us this is like when when flow rated the string. Well, congratulations to me. Yeah, man. Thanks. John, yeah. It's a big day.

Johnny, yeah. Oops. It was rewind a little bit. Okay, never. Whatever, whatever the shitty quote was. No, that does. But never put down to malevolence what could be explained by incompetence. California's vote counting system is truly terrible, and the reasons are many.

One is that California allows ballot. I love how they use the image where they have like, we're both trying to pause at the same time. The duct tape on this is so funny. There we go. Look at that. They chose this shot. They chose to show people this shot.

Why? Like, hey, we've got problems here with the elections in California. Some of those problems are with the machines. You see that one of the machines. is just a little busted on the outside. And we would fix it, if only they would give us more resources. It's insanity. It is weird, like trying to get them to say like,

yeah, here's why our elections suck. We can sympathize and empathize with all you guys thinking that there's fraud here, but just trust us. It's not happening. It's not that. We got duct tape on the problem. Don't worry about it. After Election Day, as long as they're postmarked by Election Day.

Another reason is that California sends out mail-in ballots to everybody regardless of whether they asked for one or not. So you have a huge number of votes coming in by mail. Wait a second. Sending out ballots to everyone might make it so that there are more votes coming in by mail and fewer people going to the polls. But it also means that all of the people who don't vote at all still have to have. have ballots floating out there in the world. And so to say that there's like a good explanation for all of this, that like, yes, the mail

and ballots to everyone makes it take longer, those are like two wins for the election fraud system and we're being presented them as though they're just like, oh, they're just these kind of quirky things about California. They want six weeks to be able to, um, wait. out whatever kind of cultural urge there is to get the result. It kind of lets the understanding that it's going to be ramen and not Pratt sink in for a time and then they finally deliver the result they want. So it's good that it takes a long time and they have all these extra ballots that they can collect because ballot harvesting isn't illegal. They can just fill

these ballots out and submit them to the system. There's no way to take them out of the system. And they're showing all this signature matching stuff. But if you paid any attention to the signature matching process in Arizona, you can understand that signature matching is bullshit. Yeah, it's almost like they're letting people down easy, like getting people to temper their own expectations before they finally like going for the kill shot. But also, I know California is a big state, but when somebody, you know, postmarks a ballot, right?

Or whatever. And you like, that means it's in the mail, right? what possible explanation could you have for ballots that were postmarked election day to still be arriving at this point? Like you can you can order something on Amazon and sometimes get it the same damn day depending on we're got. Never in North Dakota. But like even like I can order something from Florida and it can get here in a matter of three or four days from Florida to North Dakota. But in California the same state, it might take more than five, six days to get a ballot in like that. makes zero sense unless that's a cover story for something maybe a little more

incompetent not nefarious risk incompetent right right yeah just just incompetence that's the only problem here yeah and then California doesn't begin counting the absentee ballots until the election is over whereas other states count them as they arrive there are other reasons that California is very slow California so let's just get that part too they don't start counting the mail-in ballots of which they know they're going to have millions upon millions because they send them out to everybody but they don't start counting them until the election is over now you could argue that that's actually the right way to do it but it's not going to get you um the result very quickly and other states

obviously get the results immediately from having started before that that one is actually worthy of a discussion but whatever sends all of the ballots particularly in la county to well also that made me think of something though like they already determined that karen bass is going to be on the runoff election with so many ballots outstanding and obviously like there's things changing here so why were they able to do that i have i have absolutely no idea other than they believe the polls which are made up and the polls indicate that karen bass has been the favorite the entire time there's like it's really unlikely that they're going to skew so heavy to Rahman and Pratt that she could lose that many votes.

I think that's how they would say it. Yeah. A couple of comments from YouTube here. They get on a stage and accuse each other of literally being evil and then say vote for evil one or evil two. And I really can't wait for candidates who any accusation against will backfire against the accuser. And so no accusations are even made against them.

We're getting to that point, I think. And we can talk about it. He's describing platinum right now. Yeah. Let's keep going. California sends all of the ballots, particularly in LA County, to one counting area and doesn't count them in the voting stations where they might be counted more quickly. There are lots of reforms on the table, lots of ways to fix.

There is no reason to do that. Like the centralization of any of this stuff is just bad. That's what we saw in 2020. They switched from these small precincts where if an and let's just say in a world where elections are real and these people aren't all corrupt. If there was an actual error made, you would want that error to affect as few things as possible and be as easy to find as possible. And that sort of thing is easier in small precincts where a few people from the neighborhood are like present. monitoring the election and then they're monitoring the count or participating in the count or whatever it is afterward and that's how things used to run and which is not to say that elections were perfect

back then either but man the the big vote centers i voted in 2020 at the hollywood bowl it's uh like a massive concert venue and the you know huge parking lots outside and the rest of it but i used to vote at like a little school cafeteria or like a gymnasium with a couple hundred other people on like expected to vote there that day and that's it and then all of a sudden you're at the Hollywood Bowl where for four weeks millions of people whoever wants to can come by and vote there it's crazy it's crazy like yeah here in North Dakota you would depending on where you live in town you're assigned a school that you go to or wherever like a location and so it's all divided up there's not like one big

You could also go to the one big place as well, but at the Civic Center, most people go to their assigned little location. Crazy. Yeah. And it's like, it's just accountability is and verifiability and the rest of it is just easier, though. Like that's why you decentralize things. Yeah, I don't know. The way California does it and the way they're doing things continually, like it, they don't even care anymore. They're not even trying to pass it off as if it's anything but fraud.

Man, and the people of California, or at least, I don't want to say the people of California. The people I know in Los Angeles, those kinds of people are totally unaware that there is an actual problem deeper than there are some illegals voting, like the shit that they see on Twitter. By the way, that's the reason they all think that. For everybody who's like Elon Musk, free speech, saved the world with this free speech platform. Well, all the kinds of election fraud that they talk about on that platform are the more mundane sorts of problems like the ones this guy is describing. And they watch a bunch of videos like this where the guy tells them, yes, we know that there's some concerns, but everything's okay. Yes, we acknowledge your concern, but everything's okay. Trust us, everything's okay.

Well, it's not okay. And it's six years later and they don't know that in California, where it's like the most, obviously messed up yeah i think a good example that too which we'll get to after this video is the the one that was floating around everybody was everybody's harping on i think it was like the mbc or one of the one of everybody harps on those like apps that like oh my gosh there was a ballot update and somebody didn't get the votes like this is clearly the fraud that that being like shared around is like this huge conspiracy theory and then it immediately got to debunked like the same people pushing that and then all of a sudden everybody was super excited about the attorney

going in there and then immediately the attorney himself was like yeah that's not what happened guys that was debunked what do you think that does to people that are looking at that being like oh maybe there was some shit here oh that got debunked like that that's a pretty easily debunkable thing all because of a website news reporting app you go to the actual like LA County recorders and guys there is a mass amounts of fraud in in California like I'm not saying that I'm just saying like when we put out these ones and go ham promoting the one conspiracy stuff that can easily be debunked it works against the overall problem of exposing the election fraud but we'll get to that in a second but the short answer is no this doesn't really look like a steal it would be too obvious and keep in

mind it doesn't look like a steel because it would be too obvious it's that's not anything go ahead sorry well it's the same thing they've been saying about elections like yeah i mean election fraud could exist but can never be done with to a scale that could affect the outcome like there's no such thing as outcome to turn determinative fraud and so what he just said there basically just different words let's just listen to it again lots of ways to fix this but the short answer is no this doesn't really look like a steal it would be too obvious under what conditions would he say that an election does look like it's being stolen like what would be required for this person or anyone of his ilk to say it looks like this election is being stolen and the answer is

there is no condition under which they would say that it could be even more obvious than this i guess yeah maybe i don't know like he's getting paid to put this out there like this is propaganda yeah oh for sure so maybe if you take away the incentive behind it maybe you wouldn't be putting stuff like this out there but well sure yes i agree with you but i'm saying the mass communicators, this is what, I agree, this is what they get paid to communicate. Like, there's no circumstance unless it was going to help them directly take down Donald Trump. I cannot imagine a circumstance where they would say these elections look like they're stolen. That's a very good point, though.

If it was Donald Trump, the shoes on the other foot, they'd be all over it. Well, yeah, and that's what they do with elections in other countries. Like, this is what they do with Putin. And this is what they did with the referenda in the four provinces that we've been calling Ukraine for the last four years for some reason. That all voted to be part of Russia and are part of Russia. Do you see we sent them more money? Or we voted to send more money. Yes.

They voted to pass a discharge petition out of the house, right? Yeah. Kevin Kiley, who you interviewed. I interviewed, yeah. Yeah, he was one of those votes. Yes, he was. California Republican. And it's good to remember.

Oh, yes, sorry. Republican was too much. When people are like, yeah, you know, we really need to elect Republicans in California. Well, okay. Go ahead. Look what happens. Yeah. Yeah, it's a great point.

And there's something else on Ukraine. Oh, Zelensky wants to meet with Putin on neutral, neutral turf to finally put it into this thing. It's just gone gone on long enough for him. But yeah, anyway, let's finish this video up. Keep in mind, the people who are being accused of trying to steal the election, the unions in particular, they want Spencer Pratt in a general election because they don't want to have to spend money on a left-on-left, blue-on-blue fight between Bass and Rahman. That's a good one, too. In the world does that mean? They want to face Spencer Pratt because they don't want to pay for this campaign, which wouldn't even

be a campaign good sorry no i think that's just a that's a great point that's hysterical though he's like and obviously like if they were going to cheat they'd be cheating for spencer pratt like that's basically what he's trying to say here which is retarded even though many of california's arcane rules are supposedly designed to make voting easier by discouraging the public from trusting the process they're actually discouraging people from voting unless there are reforms made like voter id and other reforms you'll so we that's what they say about us i know yeah i hate everything you're going to discourage people from voting that's a problem and so we have to talk about the fakery in our elections in a in a different way

other than honesty yeah and that makes me think you know for all the people who get mad at us for talking about election fraud and you know the voting and opting out or whatever like there is so many people online talking about election fraud right now. Like, is that okay? Is it okay all of a sudden just because it's big and obvious in California, but every other time it's not okay? Like, when is it okay now? Like, give me a, give me a signal or something to let me know, smoke signal.

Yeah, I don't think, I don't know if they have figured out how this is, uh, how the secret white hats versus secret black hats line up in this scenario and where Trump would come down on it. So right now it's just a wait and see until they, get the comms from well i did see we got comms from spencer pratt he posted a picture of himself in some cool photos in front of like a big building oh yeah all he said was patience and uh that was signal that meant he knew what was going on they're gonna be stopped or it's gonna be fixed everything's gonna be okay and uh that was the decode so yeah those were such ridiculous pictures

yes they were those are like and i say this from from some experience those are like the pictures that an actor takes when he first moves to Los Angeles and needs shots so that he can try to get acting roles, but doesn't know any good photographers and doesn't have the money to pay for a professional photographer. So somebody goes and takes his pictures. He puts on like a suit and stands in some weird poses at a weird angle with weird lighting in front of a building. See like that. Look at that. I'd hire him to be an actor.

Look how good he can walk away. Like just oblivious to the camera, everything going on around them. That's beautiful. You'd be a great extra. All right. Let's finish this up. Oh, that's the wrong one. See, many people continue to question the accuracy and integrity of California's.

I'm going to rewind a little bit so we get the full quote here. Supposedly designed to make voting easier by discouraging the public from trusting the process, they're actually discouraging people from voting. Unless there are reforms made like voter ID and other reforms, you'll see many people continue to question the accuracy and integrity of California's results. So what we don't want is the questioning of results. And in order to prevent that, in order to solve that problem, what we need to do is pass the Save Act. That's the only thing that he didn't say specifically Save Act, but he's saying voter ID, voter ID would solve it. voter ID would not solve it.

This is ridiculous. And I mean, this is one of those pieces where I just see limited hangout. Like this is a distraction. They are trying to tell you that nothing is wrong in California's elections. And people are going to believe that. And part of the reason people believe this shit is because the people who know better think that it's good that the conversation is being had. They're like happy with a false conversation that doesn't get people where they ultimately need to go. Like voter ID does not solve this. And that's the California Post, which is like the New York

Post, the new New York Post, they just opened up. But that's like a Murdoch paper. So these are supposed to be the based in Redfield Conservatives. By the way, Carolina scored it as four to four. That is crazy. Wow. They mailed in a goal. tied it up this is the helicopter video I think we were talking about earlier a little Asian yes I think that's Fang Fang California the LA Department is flying in ballots from vote centers across the region you can see the soccer is landing right now we're standing in the parking lot of the LA County Registards ballot law center they land right here in the middle and then you see Walker here they're standing

Yeah, it's too loud, but it is funny they can fly in ballots, but they couldn't fly in water to put out the fires down there. I wonder how people feel about that. This is what everybody was going nuts about yesterday. This is from Nick Sortor. This guy is clickbait McGee. Everything is breaking now, sirens, all that. An assistant U.S. attorney is now inside, and that is all caps inside. So you know it's extra inside.

The Los Angeles ballot processing center as U.S. Attorney S.A. Lee announces multiple federal investigations into voter fraud in California, expose it all. And then the big one going around, I think Nick Soder himself posted it a few times was the conspiracy about the ballot drop. There was one ballot drop that everybody was looking at. This is what I mentioned earlier, where Bass got votes, ramen noodles got vote. Spencer Pratt got zero, but it turns out like very shortly after that, they updated it again and Spencer Pratt got his votes. But this attorney that he is talking about right here, this SA Lee or whatever, came to social

media and he posted, I already lose this. I did. Let me click into this guy's account right here. There was a certain, there was a claim circulated on social media about an election night ballot update at the Los Angeles registrar of voters where one candidate received zero. zero votes we reviewed official county records the claim is false each candidate received votes in every update my office will continue monitoring the election county process and will follow the evidence wherever it leads if anyone has credible information concerning election fraud please

send it to c a election fraud tips at us doj.gov so debunked so dumb i hate everything what a strange claim that was yeah but i mean that's still used about It's like I saw it on the screen. It showed a number and then it changed to a different number. Like that's not where they're committing the fraud guys. Yeah. Yes. But I mean, the whole thing is a mess. And the point is that you cannot, nobody can verify any of it. There's no reason for any American to trust any of the results of any election period. And like that means you can't form a government. I don't I don't know like why we. can't just get past that understanding okay it's not that like you want society to devolve into chaos

that's not the only option when we discover that our government's not legitimate yeah i don't know why people can't get over that either but people like are really uncomfortable having that conversation like what it actually means when you don't have legitimate elections and what like the logical end result of that is is if everybody agrees that yeah our elections are illegitimate legitimate but I don't know it's is it a fear thing is it an incentives thing I just don't know I don't get it yeah I mean it's a it's the fear of society being destabilized and I think it's a valid fear and I think that on some level so society would be I I don't mean totally destabilized but like it would be

it would be shaken you know the we understand that we're like a 50-50 country because of election results and polls and basically nothing else. Yeah. Like we are permanently divided because we believe that polls reflect some reality and that the results of elections reflect some reality. But neither of those things are true. And so we actually have to understand our society, our community, and the rest of it in a totally different way than we do.

And I think that there's probably a lot of people with pretty good reason. to worry about what that actually means in relation to how they've acted now they've treated people. Yeah. And honestly, I mean, things kind of feel a little destabilized the way it is. Like that's kind of the standard operating procedure. Maybe a little shaken, not stirred situation wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. But that really is an important point. Like it's already, I don't want to say bad because that's an interpretation that everybody has to make for themselves.

You know, and like you can call it black hat Find reasons to be like that right now What's that? I just call it black hat instead of bad Well, but that label on sorry I'm just being done I don't know, but you can it's part of it is just your disposition About how things are going but if we're talking only about the status of the government And the people's relationship with the government Like it's already destabilized. It's totally out of balance

That is all an absolute catastrophe already. So I mean, how much destabilization can we tolerate? You know, and I hope it's at least some. If we cannot tolerate any destabilization from an already bad situation, well, that just means that we're resigned to allowing it to be bad forever. Yeah. Another good comment in the chat from this guy. I don't know who it is. Imagine people who get scared of thunderstorms. They would rather not have them, but yet the earth needs them. So these people would rather the earth suffer for their own comfort. And that's kind of what it is. They want people to suffer for their own comfort. People are too comfy. They don't like change. I get that. My kids kind

of like that. He doesn't like change. I still have my freaking Jeep that's been sitting on my street for a year, but I can't sell it because he would like get upset for me selling it. He doesn't like change that much. So I don't know. I get what you're saying, man. Babbage says a shaking so that which cannot be shaken is all that remains. What happens if we do go through that? Like if we do go through that, what is left, you know? Well, what do you? I guess that kind of depends. First of all, I think that as we've talked a number of times, it's about leverage shifting

from one power structure to another. And I think leverage has been gradually shifting over time from one to another. So it would just be a quickening of the pace of that process. I think a lot of the, I think people are highly incentivized and even the bad people are highly incentivized to not allow the situation to go to shit. So I think that there's ways that you can kind of dismantle things in stages, understanding that they need to be dismantled. And a lot of that is like not even controversial, at least in the community of Donald Trump supporters. a lot of people want to see big chunks of the federal government dismantled, various institutions. And, you know, I probably want to see much more of that than most people.

But most people agree that like the EPA or like the Department of Education, that there are big chunks of the federal government that can and should be dismantled because the government doesn't belong in charge of those things. And we don't have a need for those sorts of entities. And I'm saying just increase the number of that. You know, it doesn't mean that everything just falls apart right away. And the other part of it is to refocus on what's going on locally, which no one's focused on, including us, by the way, because everything is focused on, to the extent we're focused on politics. We're focused on national politics. Go ahead. That reminds me when you're talking about the Department of Education and that agency maybe not even, you know, shouldn't exist more.

We got to talk about that Bill Pulte story and Trump's D&I comments about to. join the or potentially getting rid of the the DNI's office. I think that's that's an interesting one and something we've been talking about for a while pretty cool when Trump comes out and speaks what we've been saying. I do got to get a quick rumble spot in now because we have to come back later and do another one after a half an hour. So I'm going to do that really quick. And we got what is it rumble wallet first. We hear a lot about crypto, but here's the part that most people miss. Crypto was created so you could actually own and control. your own money. After the 2008 financial crisis, Bitcoin was designed as an alternative to banks. So

instead of a bank holding your money, delaying transfers or limiting access, you are the one in control. And if you've ever had to wait for a transfer to clear, you have felt that problem. Now, fast forward to today, everyone's heard of crypto, but getting started still feels complicated. That's exactly why we use Rumble wallet. It takes all that complexity, makes it super simple. You choose what you want, whether that's Bitcoin, dollar-backed stable coins, or even digital gold backed by real gold. There's no complicated setup. It connects with Moonpace. so you can use your credit card, debit card, or bank, and be up and running in minutes. And once you're set up, you can even support your favorite Rumble creators like us here at Badlands directly.

So do this now, scan the QR code or click the link in the description and download Rumble Wallet. From there, you can set up your wallet tab by and you're in the game. In just a few minutes, you can go from hearing about crypto to actually owning some. Thank you to Rumble Studio and Rumble Wallet. Was there anything else we want to talk about about California elections? I'll say one more thing because, you know, this is the moment when we're having these discussions as we've had thousands of times. I mean, I've been having the same conversation on my podcast and on Badlands for five years. So people always ask for solutions.

Here's the thing. Okay. Any solution that is going to have the backing of the people and represent government formed in a way that the people would accept requires the people to understand what the problem is. and be part of the solution process. Talking about solutions now to a problem that people don't understand and don't accept is pointless. Because what would happen is I could present a solution, which, by the way, a lot of election integrity people do. They have solutions for this, solutions for that, the way the paper ballot should be, one day, single day voting, in person, this kind of ID, blah, blah, blah, we could go through all those things. And then what the conversation would immediately turn to is questions about each one of those things.

Okay. And so we're no longer talking about whether or not the elections are fake, whether or not the government is legitimate, whether or not the situation can be remedied within the scope of the system as it exists. We're talking about like the minute details of election processes that aren't even happening yet, right? Just potential election processes and, oh, you know, well, I can just imagine like a guy is going to go down to the polling center that day. And that kind of idea is going to be a problem for him. And so I don't know if that's going to be a solution. Now I'm just going to ignore election fraud. Like that's that's what happens for five and a half years now.

There are reasons why none of this is solved. Oh, yeah. It's because we haven't passed a Safe America Act. That's what you mean. Totally. I got to show you something. from Elon Musk on that but first 15 Tony BA gifted a sub and so did Hammer Guy 35 and thank you for the rants guys we'll get to those here at the end but check out these two posts from

Elon Musk this was from today so a little more recent than the next one I'm going to show you but he repost Mike Lee's thing where it says Save America Act is controversial only among Democrats in Congress everyone else's common sense blah blah and then Elon Musk reposted it says this is the only way to saved democracy in America talking about the Save America Act and then this one I found especially funny because there's this post the US Senate just rejected a motion to add the Save America Act as part of the budget reconciliation on a 48 to 50 vote and he goes on to say vote them out so the only way to save democracy is to pass the Save America Act but the only way to get the Save America Act is to vote the people out who won't vote for

it so this is like it's almost like a chicken or the egg type situation like what came first the passing of the Save America Act or voting out the people who won't pass the Save America Act and I don't know what to do this is a conundrum yeah that's uh that's gonna be impossible to solve yeah it's like a Rubik's cube I don't think those are are supposed to be impossible to solve well I've never solved I'm not saying I have not either I just don't think that they're supposed to be impossible you can like go uh check out YouTube videos of like these kids tutorials yeah magicians they like smack it against their hand

oh thanks all well i don't even think it's it's not even as much magician as it is autism or something like okay my brother-in-law nice guy engineer super smart little nerdy slight problem maybe slightly autistic like i call myself autistic so i'm not trying to fend anybody by that but he can solve rubic scoves he like builds rubic scoves and it's like dude I don't understand. But yeah, there's, actually I saw this video the other day. World record Rubik's Cube. Some kid like solved a two-sided Rubik's cube in 0.39 seconds.

Whoa. Check this out. Don't blink though because you'll miss it. See, look that. That's all mixed up. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I don't know, man.

I'm sure he's a big hit with the ladies with those party tricks. Anyway, yeah, I think that's all I got on the election stuff, unless you got anything. No. Otherwise, let's move on to, let's do this one first. This one probably won't take quite as long, unless you want to actually get into the NSPM. But I've been talking about how there haven't been too many NSPMs so far this Trump term, not nearly as much in terms of pace as the first term. term, which is fine. Up to this point, all that was listed on the website and it's been this way since literally, what is that, September, October, 15th of 2025, there was eight of them. One of them was classified, no idea what it was. You kind of figured at this point, like, maybe there's been a few that are also classified, but we won't know until we get a public one. And sure enough, we did Trump on Friday yesterday issued NSPM 11 having to do with artificial intelligence in the national security enterprise.

but because obviously the last one we had was eight this is number 11 that means there are two classified NSPMs in there somewhere number nine and 10 and yeah this one has to do with everything AI and how it gets rolled out in the military and use and everything and they want to beat the number one they are really taking his AI EOs that he's been issuing and kind of putting them into a specific directive

for the military and there's four pillars of them adoption, adaptation, assurance, accountability, a bunch of guidelines and shit, a bunch of reports that have to come from it. Do you want to actually go into details on this, or do you care? Man, I do. I think this is actually really interesting, and I've been writing a thing called the Great Cloud in the Sky,

which is about the effect of AI and the fact that all of our information is probably accessible. Oh, yeah. You know, and that whether it's the people kind of steering one of these AIs, whichever, whoever, if it's people with access and people can steer the AI, then what those people could do with all of that information. Or if the machine has kind of just advanced to the point where it can do that stuff autonomously. And you know, and you could be micro-targeted as a person. You could be targeted as a group. everyone could be targeted at once and that's like world changing power yeah and so i think

you know the the military partnership i guess on some level there has to be that uh but yeah i think that this is you know and i haven't gone through this so i don't know the details but i think this issue is a mass of massive concern jd vance um in a speech i guess it was did we talk about this maybe Ryan and I did. He was talking, I think he was doing the graduation commencement address, whatever they call it, at the Air Force Academy. And he, the one note he made was that there will always be a human making the decisions. It's not going to be AI making the decisions in the military. It's always going to be a human. And man, I don't think that that gets us right there. Yeah. Dude, the AI, I'm telling you, like, it's growing on me. I've been working on the

little like side project and I've been texting you updates about this but I used to always use chat GPT and Grock and like I would use one to kind of give me prompts for the other then I finally like okay there's all this hype on on cloud I see all these posts on Twitter like this young Asian female makes $400,000 a minute by posting YouTube videos with cloud whatever like okay I'm gonna see if I can make $400,000 a minute but for real I started using cloud and you can just type in what you like it builds websites and everything for you. You don't have to do shit.

You just be like, you know, this could probably be better here. Like do that. It doesn't. You just tell it what you want and it does the changes for you. Previously when I tried to build a website, remember that the website aggregator that I was working on? Yeah. I would have to like type into GROC or chat to BT what I wanted.

It would provide me the code. I would take the code and have to copy and paste it into PowerShell and then take it over to GitHub and do all these other things. I don't have to do any of that anymore. I just type in what I want and it does all that on the back end on its own. And it's pretty remarkable. And then I can set it up to my phone so that it's like, and this is probably where, you know, you run into concerns of like it has access to everything and can do anything.

But I have a separate computer set up, not connected to this one. And I can just be like, hey, I need you to do this. How about this? And it will work on my computer and do the things that I wanted to do, coding all the shit. Without me having to be there, I can just do it through my phone. It's nuts. Yeah, that's awesome. I mean, the thing for me is giving it all the information and all the access.

Yes, but also, Chris, they already have all that stuff. Yeah, man, I go back and forth. You told me that they did, so I believed you. No, no. I'm not, I'm not questioning that they do. I know they do. Yeah. I just, and there's something about like integrating the whole thing, like that it could do things.

on my behalf without my knowledge yeah so that's the thing like i was given the option like do you want this to connect to your emails and respond to emails for you i didn't do that like you can do shit like that where it like actually like communicates with the outside world for you yeah yeah yeah and that i i drew the line there for now we'll see i do get a lot of emails but for now it's just like you can help me with this coding thing and you can do your thing and i don't need to just just go for it i'll tell you what i want when i see an issue and it and it doesn't it's it's been Pretty impressive. I'm not going to lie.

But just think like there are much more creative people than me. And there's, you look at that with anything, the entertainment industry and even military. Like the use cases for that kind of technology is pretty astounding. Like you could have this thing like, hey, I want this movie. Go build it. And come back and it's done. Like, yeah, this scene kind of sucked. Maybe tweak these.

And like, think of how short of time that would take. And also the quality you could probably produce and that would be better than most movies are getting already from real people. It's nuts. I mean, I occasionally consider that some of the stuff that we see in movies and television that we think is real just isn't. I mean, it's gone so far. I remember talking to a friend who I knew from Los Angeles. She was in town. And I guess this was 2023.

And she told me that and she's like a woman that I think. think, like, wanted to act or act sometimes, but it's not like a career that she sustains herself with. She got paid $10,000 to, like, do a full, like, body scan and do the biometrics and all of that so that she could be reproduced into, like, scenes as, like, an extra, basically. That's crazy. That 100% that's crazy. But I was just thinking about, so this NSPM, it talks about, let me see, very fine, the quote, AI is the most, is among the most transformative national security technologies in U.S. history, capable of protecting warfighters, enabling precise operations that minimize civilian harm and ensuring American superiority on the battlefield. Just thinking of AI and the future of warfare, like, you know, Elon Musk is building robots, we have AI drones and all these things, and all of a sudden AI is going to be the ones doing it all.

What does the actual future of warfare look like if it's just our AI drone robot capabilities against their AI drone robot capabilities? That is getting you closer and closer to the soft war situation that G Money has been talking about. Yeah. Yeah. And I encourage people to check out Jason Lowry's work on that at least like listen to some of the interviews or watch some of the videos. Just get the knowledge. I don't know that he's right. you know, but in the scenario you just described, it starts to make a lot of sense. Yeah, I agree. Even though Bitcoin is, I don't even know if I want to look at what it's at right now. It's been down this week.

Blurting with going under 60. I think it did for a brief period the other day. Oh, wow. I missed that. Yeah, June 5th at 1128 p.m. It got down to, it looks like, the low of 59, 628. Then it bounced back. But everything's been down a little bit.

Even the Doge website was down for a couple hours this week. Yeah. You know, the AI description that you just read sounds a lot like when they're trying to justify the use of AI. One of the great things about AI and robotics is what it's going to do to extend people's lives. It's going to make them healthy and blah, blah, blah. Is it? I mean, probably, but is that actually living like at that point? Like, are you actually living a meaningful life?

because this place you have like the the neural link is that what you're talking about well that and everything like you think of um was it Elon Musk who's he was pushing the idea for a while like we're going to have so much abundance that no nobody's going to have to work the AI the robots everybody's going to do all the work for you we're just going to give you what you need to be happy and healthy and and everybody's going to be rich everybody's going to do the Dubai yacht parties it's going to be great you just take what you want and like to me it takes a lot of the meaning out of things we have the debate If I remember correctly, Bernie Bright was super pro dystopia socialism or whatever that was that was being described. I was like, no, let's not do that. Oh, like the universal high income. Yeah. But anyway, like that is that really living? Like if you live to be 120 with a universal life income and you're like basically half machine at that point, I don't know. Shit's weird, man.

It really is. there was a good point in here or a couple good quotes if I can find it talked about the military being the most the most moral military on earth let me assert word search this I'm not sure what that could mean under my administration the United States can and will responsibly accelerate the use of AI across intelligence and warfinding domains in line with American values, the United States possesses the most effective and moral military in the history of the world. It is also among the most trusted institutions in American life. That trust is rooted

in an unbroken chain of command and accountability from our democratic process through civilian and military leadership to the men and women who carry out the mission. It is weird they haven't even tried to implement AI in our election systems yet, have they? Gosh, I mean, I don't think they've told us about it if they have. But it could be in there. That's true. Some of those candidates, maybe. Well, if the machine's got an algorithm, as people describe, I mean, that's kind of,

that's it, right? Yeah. That's funny. Yeah, they're talking about trust in the democratic process in this while Trump is shit posting about elections. Crazy times. Okay, that's all I had on this NSPM, though. Curious to see if we'll ever figure out what those classified ones are.

And anytime these come up, I always go check the old ones and there's been no change. We still don't know what 32 is. We don't know what, what was the other one, 29, 30, some of these other ones. If you ever get to interview Trump, you should just like go through your list of NSPMs. Oh, I totally would. Nobody's ever asked him about the, no, literally nobody has ever asked him about why he issued 10 NSPMs in his last, or, nine ns pms in his last 10 days in office it's never been asked to him it seems like every time he gets interviewed the interview is always like the the interviewer is asking from the adversarial side

like hey will you please tell us what you're doing he never does no he just goes on to shit it's horrible it's horrible i'm not going to talk about that but let me talk about that for a little bit yeah it's it's good shit i love his interviews um but let's go into this now another thing from the website. Just because I thought this is weird. Maybe this is nothing. I don't know. But it's weird how much shit I'm getting on it for even asking the question. So we're going to talk about it.

Trump issued a pardon yesterday or two days ago to this Stephen Beyer fella. And I dug into it. There's not many times that pardons get issued on the presidential website. And I even went as far as looking into how many pardons Trump has issued this entire term. And I counted them all out. I looked at every single one.

There's an entire website. You can go to do this. It's justice.gov search for the office of the pardons or whatever. It gives you the entire list. All you got to do is click into one. Take to the site. You can read the pardon. So I did this for all of them that are on the website.

Updated through March 2nd. There are 100 pardons, 19 clemencies. That's not counting the mass J6 ones or the 2020 election ones. This pardon of Stephen Byer is the only one ever where he's, He's like, the reason I'm giving this pardon is because I got asked to by a bunch of people, and here are all those people. And it literally said, upon the advice and recommendation of the individuals listed below, and then again, as highlighted by the individuals listed below, talking about this guy, former

congressman, and he lists all of them. All these people are current or former elected representatives. There might be like one or two in here that aren't. I'm pretty sure they all are, including Lindsay Graham. Some of them are judges, right? I don't know. Maybe a couple of them, but I'm pretty sure most of these are former representatives. Okay.

Yeah. So for some reason, Trump chose to highlight these people. Yes. Yeah. And I was like, why the hell is he doing that? This guy, Stephen Byer, it was insider trading. After he got out of office, he was like a consultant. And he got word of, I think it was like T-Mobile was going to acquire somebody from,

somebody at T-Mobile or Sprint, yeah. And so he went and bought a bunch of stock. He used like seven separate accounts to do it. And he made a bunch of money. He did the same thing with another. Like there was two instances. And then at his trial, like he testified, the judge was like, dude, you freaking lied on the stand.

That's obstruction of justice. Like the judge called him out for lie. Now, not trying to like save the judicial system. Maybe it was corrupt. But Trump didn't say it was a corrupt judicial system or it was a sham trial or any of that in here. He's just like, all these people told me that I should pardon this guy. here are all those people. The guy already served his prison sentence.

So he wasn't in jail anymore. This wasn't getting him out of jail. And so he's just like, okay, here we go. And I feel like when he does stuff like this, like sometimes I think Trump does things because he wants us to call him out for it. And I feel like that's what this is. It's the only time it's ever happened. So why is he doing it? And when I.

You don't think he's on Twitter. Sorry, go ahead. No, you go ahead. No, I was just going to say you don't think he's just putting all these guys on blast, but continue. Well, that's what I think it is. is like i think that's what he wants to do is be like hey look at all the people that wanted this guy out of prison for insider trading when that's what we look at these like we look at congress all the time and be like yeah those guys are fucking all insider trading like look at all these people you have nancy

stock traders or whatever all the congressman their their trades are monitored and all of them make a shit ton of money and some of them do it in really suspicious ways so it's like why do these guys want this guy apart in for stock trading so yeah i think he's putting these people on blast that's what I think this is. But when I posted about it on Twitter, people are like, oh man, you must be a page chill. You must be an infiltrator. Like, who side are you on for like doing this? Because I was like questioning Trump's pardon. Like, what the fuck is going on, guys? Are we not allowed to do that anymore? This is another great example of the cheerleading. The cheerleaders, something's broken in the brain where they cannot fathom somebody looking at something Trump does and not just like

accepting that as a good thing. I don't think this is necessarily. I think there's more to whatever this is. I don't know what it is. But This is weird. It's weird behavior. They are constantly trying to maintain and gatekeep the boundaries of the in-group. And that's what it is. Asking questions about stuff like this threatens like in-group consensus on where things are going. Yeah. This doesn't.

Your question is not at all threatening to Donald Trump. Donald Trump is, I don't want to say invincible, but certainly immune to some guy on a show on Rumble asking a question about a pardon. Like that's totally appropriate, but it's beyond the bounds. They want to know that they're so consumed with constantly playing secret black hats and secret white hats that they're. like looking for something to go after you for i mean i just saw a comment earlier in the chat like i'm i'm a spook now because i'm questioning elections what that means trump is too because he does have just as much as anybody and on a much bigger platform it's crazy yeah and um i think the way he did this to this pardon it's it's interesting because if somebody were to ask him about it like hey

why did you pardon why did you pardon stephen byer the the blame has been entirely shifted. He's like, well, because I had a bunch of these congressmen who came to me and asked me to do it. Like, go ask them why they wanted him pardoned. He signed it. Yes, like he's accountable for that, but he did it because all of these people in here told him to do it. And I think it's interesting way. Maybe he did this this way because he wants people to be asking them why they wanted Stephen Byer pardoned. Like Lindsay Graham, why did you support Stephen Byer from being pardoned when he's already out of jail and he was convicted of insider trading like are you okay with insider trading people should maybe be asking those questions i wonder how i wonder what i wonder what form their endorsement

came in like did they send did these guys all sign on to a letter together and send that letter to trump i don't know because i mean gosh man these are names obviously roger wicker lindsay graham and some of these others are still in office. But a lot of them are people who served with Byer in Congress 15 years ago or more. And so, like, did they come out of the woodwork and ask Trump for pardon? I don't know. I wonder. I wonder.

Both just way too excited to be talking to that. I wonder if, like, Stephen Byrude. buyer did like the whole 51 intelligence agency letter style thing and compiled everybody's letters to like get him self-partened. Maybe. Man, the I looked up on I put in his chat, GPT, all these names. And I said, do these names. Like, is there anything in common here? And I couldn't find anything.

They were just like they were all the people who, uh, Trump named in this letter. And that was about it. and that they were political figures. Yeah. Let me look this up too. I'd send screenshots into chat sheet, BT to have it, like, tell me whether these are all elected representatives

and it said everybody was except for one, but maybe screenshots wasn't the way to do it. Did you ask it that? Say it again? Did you ask it if they were all elected or current or former? Oh, no, no, no. Well, I know that there's a mix of current and former.

There's no question about that. I don't know if it's all of them. I'm doing that right now because it could refer to state level. It's verifying the potentially tricky names right now. But we should get a good answer on that here soon. But unless somebody has another explanation as to why this is the only one and you can all, like I said, go verify this for yourself on the pardon website. It's the only time it's ever happened that I've found.

So I'd be curious because he's calling out these people for doing it. There's something weird here. I don't know what it is. Maybe we'll find out later. Okay, I think that's all I have on those two things. We could get into the fun CIA story. This story is this Washington Post article is amazing. Yeah.

Just to say this off the top, Steve Bannon, I think this is so funny, calls the Washington Post the Langley Bugle, like that this is the mouthpiece of the CIA. And of course, Jeff Bezos owns it, although didn't he step back a couple years ago, but also say we're going to go a little bit more middle of the road. We're going to go a little bit more conservative. And then we got all these news stories about how the oligarch was making this a right-wing newspaper so that we could be, so that we could have a better sense of its pretence toward objectivity. And I do have an answer before we even get into this. I have an answer already from Chachapit about these names. They were all current or former elected representatives except for two names. Curtis T. Hill Jr. was an elected official, but not congressional.

rational he was elected indiana attorney general and he served from 2017 to 2021 and then r james nicholson was the secretary of veterans affairs he was the u.s ambassador to the holy sea and he was the rnc committee chairman um but yeah so like everybody but those two people were all former elected representatives and trump's putting them on blast for that so there you have it but okay let's get into the langley times or what do you what do you call it the langley beautiful Lately bugle. A CIA officer, do you have highlights on this, by the way? I didn't highlight.

I did, I think I did excerpt some stuff for, hold on a second. I didn't highlight either, but I know a few of the things I wanted to read. I'll just start reading through. If you have any of this, let me know. CIA officer who had millions in gold bars accused of creating fake spy program. David J. Rush worked on highly secretive intelligence programs and is alleged to have funneled millions of dollars for personal use via a fraudulent contract. And so we went over this story, maybe twice.

I think we went over it last Saturday a little bit. And the Wednesday before that, we first brushed up like, because I think it was like breaking when we went live. But he's the guy who he was found with more than 40 million worth of gold bars in his house. He allegedly created a fake, highly classified intel program that he used as a conduit to funnel millions of dollars for his personal use, according to people familiar with the criminal investigation. This guy's background, by the way, is like, he, he, he, he, He lied about a bunch of shit.

He got in there. And he was somehow able to pull this off. Can you imagine what like the actual qualified smart people can do in the CIA in terms of ripping people off and creating like fake classified information? What about this is fake if it's classified and it served all the functions and it was created by someone in the CIA? That's true. That's a great question.

I don't know. It's so funny. This story is so funny. But are we allowed to call it, call it fake? Or do we call it fraudulent? Someone will bite your head off. You can't call it fake. David J. Rush, who was arrested last month in charge with one count of theft of public money,

constructed what is known as a special access program, a sort of black box for the most secret intelligence operations that people familiar with the investigation set. Even intelligence personnel with the high security clearance cannot ask. access an individual SAP, as they are known, without specific authorization. The people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the ongoing investigation said the criminal probe found that Rush read in or initiated two colleagues into the highly secretive sham program, effectively cultivating them as perhaps unwitting accomplices and preventing them from talking to others about it. He persuaded one of them to transfer millions of

dollars to the program via a government contract that was also fraudulent they said that was fraudulent not fake he made up a contract one of the peep said so we have four anonymous people the whole story is just someone said someone said this happened well wait till we get to the handful part rumors i also just want to know for the audience to keep track of how the Washington Post calls his little intelligence unit fake or a sham or something every single time they mention it they want you to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that his program was definitely definitely not a real CIA program despite having all the markers of a real CIA program oh this is so good rush who worked in the CIA's Directorate of science and technology has not

pleaded to the charges against him. The attention hearing in federal court and Alexandria, I'm just going to read this whole article. It's so good. A judge ruled that Rush posed a significant flight risk in order to remain detained at the local jail pending trial. The CIA, meanwhile, has put several agency officials on leave as FBI and spy agency investigations continue to people familiar with the matter said. NBC News first reported that development that people familiar did not disclose those

officials' names or positions. The science and technology directorate is the arm of the agency that creates technical espionage tools to aid u.s spies and their agents abroad is that like the um is it in james bond cue is that the guy who comes up with the tech form like the watches and the stuff yeah yeah so they have a real like cue at the cia not to be confused with the cue that we decode on a daily basis on the show or maybe they're the same wasn't wasn't that cue at uh wasn't that an MI6 James Bond thing? Maybe.

If we say Q a CIA, does I mean CIA is good now? But I do believe a lot of people who follow Q think that. So maybe, I don't know. I don't know. Well, and if it's MI6, then we need to check in with Promethean action. Oh, that's true. As soon as it crosses the border into London, it's all their business. City of London bankers or whatever, yeah.

You're right. The account of those familiar with the criminal probe appears to raise serious questions about secrecy guardrails. vetting at the CIA. Wow. Wow. They're concerned about their secrecy guard rails at the CIA. That's shocking. It remains unclear, for example, how Rush could single-handedly create a black box for a fictional spy program without sign-off from his superiors. It's also unclear whether the two colleagues Rush brought into the fake program knew it was fraudulent. One of the people familiar with the probe said Rush's fake program involved continuity of government operations or programs to keep the U.S. federal government running in the event of a nuclear war, natural disasters, or other catastrophes.

Guys, this guy created a cog program. He created devolution within the CIA and made way more money than I've ever made. So why don't you guys call him a grifter? I wonder if the two people he initiated into the program are like Elon. Musk and I don't know some other devolutiony sort of figure out yeah I don't know white hat character I mean racklifts there now so you never know but yeah this is I just I want to know like I want to see the actual indict I will never probably get it but I'm curious like what kind of program he actually outlined and how he like how he did it I'm so curious but uh Russia apparently used the fake government continuity program and the contract to persuade a government defense contractor to purchase large amounts of gold,

this person said. So because he was planning for this like cog program or whatever it was, he convinced a contractor to purchase gold. So assuming like gold would be required if the government shut down, like that's my understanding kind of of what that would imply, wouldn't it? I mean, yes, who knows? It's anonymous source and it's go back. Was it the paragraph just before? This one.

I mean, how could you use your fake continuity program to convince a contractor to purchase gold? Yeah, I don't know. I thought maybe like Rush was a code name for you here on Badlands. You have created the fake continuity of government program. And now with your gold code commercials, you've committed. convinced Elon Musk to buy gold. Oh my gosh. I wish.

I can't imagine. We might actually get a commission one of these days from that. Badlandscold.com. Speaking of that, another buying opportunity to come down a little bit. Even more astounding. I think this is the one with the handful of quotes. This is so funny.

Even more astounding, according to former U.S. officials and others familiar with the issue is that Russia's duties at the CIA included involvement in one of the government's most sensitive intelligence gathering operations, a project so secret that only a handful of U.S. intelligence officials and lawmakers knew of its existence. A handful is five, by the way, for most fingers, most hands have five fingers. More than a handful is a waste, John. Wait, what? More than a handful is a waste. What's that from? What? Really? Yeah. You can look that up. The chat will tell you what that means. I'm looking up right now.

If I knew you were actually going to stop and look it up, I would have just told me. It's just a common phrase. There's no single known originator. Okay, yes, that's right. But it has a single known meaning. Yeah. I'm talking about when you're grabbing this, John. I see that now.

Primarily refers to female breast size. So just, oh, that's great. see I learned something new every day this is great camera yeah anyway um anyway a project is so secret that only a handful of u.s. intelligence officials allow me because knew of its existence according to four people familiar with the matter so five people knew of this program's existence and four of them all have told the washington post about this thing that i just found that so fucking stupid and funny like did they not read their own articles like that does not make sense none of this makes sense but i thought those hilarious

I can't believe we got the titties thing wrong. I'm a little embarrassed. That's all right, man. They don't have all the phrases up in North Dakota. Yeah, clearly not. More than a handful is a waste. I don't know. I might disagree, but maybe not.

These details of that program separate from the fake project Russia allegedly created remain highly classified. Washington Post is withholding details about the program after U.S. officials warned that disclosure could jeopardize ongoing intelligence gathering operations. So that's another like interesting fact here. Only five people know about this program. It's so secret, but they told it to the Washington Post,

but they are not going to talk about it because it's so secretive, yet they were told about it. That seems stupid. Rush arrested with three and three gold bars. We can skip that. I want to keep about that. In the hearing of hearing's public portion, they said that Rush was a master manipulator who lied to colleagues about basic facts.

of his pedigree lied to neighbors about working as a navy pilot can't be trusted i don't know that might be all i really needed to read did you read the did we pass the quote from um the mark polymropolis character who talks about how uh oh right here there you go it's shocking that he got by a process that scrutinizes everything said mark polymeropolis is an unfortunate last name a former CIA operations officer whose field assignments span the globe they interview friends relatives professors it's a full-on colonoscopy the uh it is weird that he got by it's a great great point yes so his his big problems here he has lied about he's created a fake intelligence operation inside the cia

CIA where to get the job he lied about his entire past even though he was going to get the fullest most exacting background check that the world could ever imagine and somehow they just missed it and this guy slipped through their fingers and then set up a continuity of government program did it say when he started this stuff do we know i do we know i don't recall that. By the way, while you're looking for that, the Mark Polymeropolis thing, I looked this up on the, this is according to the machine, just to be clear, but he was involved with the Hunter Biden 51 Intel officials letter. Of course it was. He was recruited by Michael Morel to help draft the statement. And he's also one of the central figures to the Havings.

Sienna syndrome thing. And we're supposed to be getting the ultimate truth of that revealed to us by outgoing DNI Tulsa Gabbard. That is definitely interesting. The reason I'm curious about when it happened, it looks like you got hired or he joined the CIA around 2009, but now that I think about it, you know, how did he pass a background checked? If you remember back to April of 2023 that there was a new Department of War director,

where the defense counterintelligence and security agency was no longer going to be doing, I think the background checks. Or they were at least getting, yeah, never mind, let me take them back. I think they might still be doing background checks. They do it for 95% of the federal government,

but they're no longer a defense intelligence component head. Maybe that was nothing to do with it, but maybe the timing of that is they were digging into this guy and be like, holy shit, how this guy get through. You better make some changes here. I don't know. Reading that article, it occurred to me that like this story is so over the top. But there's a lot of little disclosures about how things work at the CIA.

And I thought that that stuff was particularly interesting. Like this one here, one official said that spy agencies often use financial tradecraft to move large amounts of money for intelligence operations without a trade. attracting the attention of adversary spy services from China, Russia, and elsewhere. It's important, the former official said that those countries don't know the source or destination of the money. The problem, it means that neither do we. And it was crazy to me. This is what I said to you this morning, that they change subjects so drastically at the end. Just these last two paragraphs, they tack on like, oh, yeah, the CIA

has this program where we just send gold bars to whoever we need to. Yeah, I wonder, I wonder what the point of this is, right? Like, why write an article like this? If you're the Langley bugle, right, like you're the kind of their mouthpiece, what are you trying to accomplish here? Because this doesn't make the CIA look good. It doesn't make people like trust the CIA anymore than they, they shouldn't already anyway. But like this whole thing just seems stupid.

Like if this guy can do it and they go on to list like how, how he got through with back and like, what about the people with good credentials? How many of these operations are out there that are just total shams, total fake operations where these people are just enriching themselves. And maybe that's what we're being shown here as a template for how these things go down in the CIA. And obviously I don't know. This is pure speculation, just to be very clear.

But if, let's say there were 50 of these, right, throughout the CIA, all these different programs that senior officials set up, they were using them for fraud they were wasting people's money whatever it was if it was a rampant problem within the cia then we would immediately go up one level above these guys and say there is a systematic problem at the cia and this is what um people do that would be i think kind of revelatory and I don't know if they would use that to kind of wash their hands of responsibility to kind of figure out some scapegoat a fall guy that can be taken down for that problem like all this happened under John Brennan's watch something like that you know I could

imagine it going in that direction yeah there's something just recently about John Brennan somebody who worked under him or with him I can't think of it now I thought about it earlier this week I should have wrote it down there was a story though where somebody's in the news who oh it was it was Patrick Byrne that's what it was that story earlier this week where um what's his name

Kurt Olson got sent over he's down in the Florida and under the Joe D Geneva in his RICO case and we Badlands Media Post of the story Patrick Byrne shared it and then I responded as like oh well as long as you know the the former in quote CIA agent is good with it then it must be a good move kind of like obviously being a little facetious and when I replayed his video where he admits to be in CIA and he's like he came up under Brennan he was doing operations with Brennan and I was like helping set off

the Russia gatehook stuff it's like oh yeah that guy they have it does something happen in the chat where everybody's freaking out I don't think it's a freak out did I miss something People had fun with the boobs. I mean, boobs are fun. People are talking hockey. Everybody's mad of Valseco and I don't know what he did. Oh, he was just, he came in insulting us and then thought he could pay us $5 to respond to him. Oh, no, man, you got to pay $20 for insults.

These parts. Anyway, is the game over, by the way? I forgot to even look. Do we have an update on the score? I guess I'll just check myself. 4-4. time what the hell score eight goals in two periods and then they can't

score in an overtime period you're going to be able to watch double overtime potentially maybe you don't think you got another hour in you or what I mean hey man I could go till Wednesday if you want no thanks but I do have one more story there's another story for sure we wanted

to do right um mom mom mom what was it the the uh the platinum and hunter thing the the we could do the hunter thing and the platinum thing but also the bill pulte one that's the one i was thinking of my thought oh yeah i can find the right tab here i have it open somewhere yeah i think is this one and also know before we even do this i should probably check if we have

another studio ad to do because i think we do yes we do let me do this real quick and then then we'll do the rest of it and get out of here um we got some Rumble Studio Chef IQ.

tomorrow for America First Story, 1 p.m. Eastern on Badlands where I interview our sponsors, interviewed the rattlesnakes meat guy. And I'd never actually talk to him before. He actually, he was a connection to us from Kimberly, our accountant who passed away. I love her. But he's from Kansas and she like got to know him.

And we start talking. And the dude is based as hell. He's like, government sucks. They can't trust him. Election to fake like all this shit. And he's like, it doesn't really watch bad on that much,

but he's super based. And yeah, you guys should check out that interview tomorrow because he's awesome and his products are awesome. So yeah, anyway. Okay, let's talk Bill Pulte.

So Trump was doing an interview with the Wall Street Journal. It's going to get to the right archive version of the story here. And Chris, do you want to maybe set the table of like how we've, framed this in the past about, you know, maybe we don't need the DNI because it's probably not constitutional. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, that's something I pursued since the fantasy team began to be named by Donald Trump back in November 24 after he, quote unquote, won the fake election of that year when he started bringing in the entire cast of Fox News and a number of kind of. rising GOP establishment stars and then build his administration with these kinds of people. So I think that a lot of the federal government, especially many of the departments and agencies, just simply should not exist in our unconstitutional or anti-constitutional, and that a lot of them are based on functions of the 14th Amendment that kind of inverted the Constitution and then expanded the body of federal law to touch a number of things that the founders would have never

imagined the federal government being involved in. And so if you, if Donald Trump is doing what I think a lot of people think he's doing, certainly what I think he's doing, and actually trying to move power back to the people and eliminate the unconstitutional elements of the government, in fact, I've been thinking about a good way to describe kind of this whole thing. And I've come to, retro constitution so it's not that so it's more like he's undoing all of these distortions that have been layered onto the constitution and so if there are a number of agencies within the federal government that aren't actually constitutional and shouldn't actually exist then they are already nullities like you can't have agencies that violate the constitution and the president

if he's doing his duty and keeping his oath to the constitution can't be running agencies that he believes violate the Constitution. And so I think a lot of these agencies are kind of just, however, I don't know how long the road will be to wind these things down. But I think that they're kind of like, if they're not shells yet, they're certainly not the way they were and they're going to kind of be emptied out over time

and taken down, I believe. And so then knowing, With that in mind, when you nominate a person for a position in one of those agencies, if I'm right, then that nomination is not to run that agency, take advantage of all its powers, and do it the best that anyone could ever do it. I don't think that the solution to any of these problems is to make the massive, sprawling federal bureaucracy work well and efficiently. It's to get rid of the sprawling federal bureaucracy.

And so that's why I'm not on board of the GOP establishment. I'm not on board with the project 2025 stuff. And I know that a lot of that stuff is in process. But all these agencies, when Tulsi was there, now that Pulte is there, I still don't think the DNI should exist. It is a post 9-11 post-Patriot Act propping up of the deep state into the intelligence community to gather all that information. and then be the sole conduit to the president for getting all that information i just

not sole conduit but key conduit maybe anyway yeah i think you you you you nailed it there and this is like one of the things that when we talk about this stuff and when we harp on the cheer leaders is because we're advocating and have been advocating for that same approach and the same dismantling of all these agencies since before trump got reelected back we've been doing since we started and this is what we believe trump is doing and so even when we're see things on the TV that don't appear to be doing that, we're not going to cheerlead for it because that's not what we think is ultimately the goal with some of this stuff. And with the Department of Education, that was like what we were promised. Like, hey, we're going to look to

dismantle this. And we haven't seen that yet. In fact, it got more funding this year than it got last year. Super gay. When it comes to the CIA, prior to Trump getting back in there, we wanted him to like dismantle the entire thing and it was scattered to a thousand pieces or whatever that quote is. Very similar to the hand quote and the boob quote. that you were talked about. I don't remember exactly, but whatever. But then the crazy thing is that other people actually just want to see these people or be told these people are like doing all this stuff and their jobs. Like let's harness the power of the direct of the office of director of national intelligence. No, let's eliminate

the office of director of national intelligence 100%. 100%. And that's what we may be getting now. We've been talking about this and this comes out from the Wall Street Journal. Trump Ridge is less shackled Pulte to fire intelligence community employees. President said an interview office of director of national intelligence should be much smaller and maybe even terminated. He said he wants Bill Pulte to begin firing a large number of employees as part of a shakeup of the U.S. intelligence community. It makes you wonder too because like all the things about Tulsi Gabbard and all the things,

you know, she did the reporting stuff. if she did were told great work we'll see other report are put it through spell check but everybody's like yeah this is amazing why wasn't she able to fire all these people you know makes you wonder if this is what trump wants why couldn't she and why is this nomination uh such a much bigger deal and we don't even know that this is a nomination really he named him as acting d and i and then he said he doesn't think that Pulte even wants to stay forever. He said that in the Oval Office yesterday the day before. And so this isn't even a nomination.

He just says, you're going to do this job for the time being. This seems like it has scared all of the people that should scare far more than the Tulsi Gabbard thing did. She went and sat down for the Senate hearing and the confirmation with Megan McCain, Sage Steele from ESPN, and like that House inhabit influencer lady that wants to i don't know that that that account sucks but fresh and fit what no no not those guys you must be confused with somebody else but yeah so the interview with um he said that he privately told pulte that he believes the office of d and i which oversees 18 intelligence agencies not 17 it's almost a deco but not quite guys sorry uh was unnecessary and or too big I'd like to see it smaller.

That's what she said. I think there are a lot of people in there that shouldn't be there. Trump said pointing to holdovers from the Biden and Obama administrations, which, how are they still there in the first place? It's mind blowing. But whatever. He asked whether he's calling Pulte to fire people.

Trump said he wants him to start the process, adding that his eventual nominee to serve in the role permanently should continue that work. And then I want to get to the part. Trump in any of you argue that Pulte's acting status is an asset. You're less shackled. He said it sort of gives you more power, you know, for a somewhat limited time period.

And I don't know if I, like that seems once you get in there, you should be completely unshackled because you've already passed the nomination process. Just do your thing. So like, I don't know if I understand his argument there, but he's probably right. I don't know. But then the part that, I don't need to the part where he says like this, maybe dismantle it or right here. Meanwhile, Trump told the journal he wants Pulte to approach the job similarly to the way

education secretary Linda McMahon has managed her. agency. The man has moved to reduce the size of the department, which Trump has previously said he wants to eliminate and shift some of its duties to other agencies. We've made the Department of Education much smaller, and likewise, this should be much smaller, Trump said, referring to the OD&I. And this should maybe even be terminated and we'll make that decision. Yeah. So it sounds like that decision's been made. Yes. Now he's just kind of disclosing it. Yeah. And again, I don't know anybody, aside from you and I who talked about this. Yeah, nobody.

So, yeah, I mean, I know that people get upset with it and they get mad at Badlands for not talking about all of the trending topics of the day and saying the base and red-pilled things that we're supposed to say, but in our new special way that makes everybody feel like they're finally with the right influencers, there's a method to the madness.

Yeah. 100% and another thing too that we see a lot of like even when we talk just now about like why not Tulsi why can Tulsi do this you know maybe Tulsi wasn't what we thought everybody said she was there's a lot of rationalization that goes on now I'll never understand that like we don't have to rationalize stuff that we don't for sure will ever understand and if we're going to rationalize like if you're going to do that that's fine too or whatever because it happens but you have to be willing to rationalize like more than just one possibility because pretty much all the time when people rationalize they always rationalize they always rationalize they always rationalize to like the definitely a white hat, definitely working on something better, bigger behind the scenes, definitely like going to save everybody. That may not be true. We don't know if that's true.

That's not always true with everybody. Trump puts in there. We can't claim to know that for sure. Yeah. But if you speak the opposite of that, you're called a infiltrator. It's annoying. Yeah.

And I mean, ultimately the purpose of all of this, if it has a purpose, is to help us guide our own lives responsibly, to make decisions about, you know, public affairs responsibly. And so you actually do have to think about multiple interpretations of these things. It's not just – and some people treat it like a sport.

Many people treat it like a soap opera. I mean, all of this stuff, to some extent, is gossip. What we see on the mainstream media is largely gossip. I mean, how much time has been spent by people supposedly on the right in the last – nine or 10 months talking about which side of the erika kirk or kandis owens divide they are on right spent any time or which side yeah or which side of the uh the the the israel thing or the ukraine thing or whatever it's always about just personalities and and who's where so weird it's so weird like people don't want to know they don't want to figure out like what's actually happening

They just want to engage in the daily drama of it because it feels, I don't know, familiar, comforting. I don't know. And that's a weird thing too is because I've noticed that like if people get mad at you for not caring about the daily drama. Like there's so many times in my daily show where I'm like, I just, sorry guys, I just don't care. I don't give a shit about the story and I don't talk about it. And you get yelled at like, why aren't you talking about this? I don't fucking want to. Yeah.

I yelled at somebody yesterday about that. I can't remember what they, I don't know, I can't remember what they said. It's like new name, you haven't seen him in the chat. before they come in and like I can't believe you won't do this I'm like I've been doing this show the same way for a year and a half dude like go get that sand out of your vagina and somebody else's chat's retarded norm Eisen is big mad thank you boom digity for sending this in 20 dollar rant he's big mad um about Pulte Eisen loves the document that created the DNI makes me wonder if he had a hand in

writing it and this is the article that she shared yeah this is by Norman Eisen and Riley Pannon. Last month, D&I, Tulsi Gavitt announced her departure, Trump's choice of replacement, William Pulte, a loyalist whose leading qualification appears to be his appetite to use power for political retribution. He has no intelligence background, no national

security expertise, and is utterly unfit to serve as acting D&I. And you know, if Norm hates it, it's probably a good negative indicator. Fortunately, there is something that can be done about it. Senators should refuse to move Section 702 surveillance reauthorization, which could be abused by Pulte and they are doing just that.

And this is what's kind of interesting because I am totally okay with this move. Like I don't want that reauthorized anyway. And I don't think Trump does either. Yeah. So I think that's great. Normize it secret white hat. There we go. There we go.

Now we're going to interest some people. Oh, man. Yeah, I'm going to read this. I'm not going to read this whole thing right now, but I'm going to read it later, not on there. But thank you for sending it in boom. Appreciate that. You see him mention the NSPM in there?

You got to pull it back up. Look at that. The bottom of the first paragraph there. Right here? Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. What the hell?

Notstanding purported limits on the use of 702 to target U.S. Persons, the Intelligence Committee has been able to use so-called backdoor searches. Those are the worst kind of searches I've heard. To collect information on U.S. citizens, reading conjunction or read in conjunction with the president's widespread direction to seek out so-called domestic terrorists through NSPM 7. Pulte would be in a position to supercharges baseless attacks on presidential foes. Oh my gosh. You don't see many people talk about NSPM.

So that is interesting. And why is Norma Eisen seeding that? Well, I mean, that was like the Antifa one, you know? Domestic terrorist and Tifa, they really don't want people to think or associate Antifa with the Dems. keep staying. Yeah. Anyway, I'm going to read that. We'll definitely talk about that probably next week in more detail.

Let's talk about the platinum thing real quick. And then we can wrap it up. I'll be honest. I have not followed much of the platinum thing either. What I have seen what I've gathered on social media is he has a Nazi tattoo. And he is cheated on his wife a lot or something. Like he signed up for a, like a Tinder thing. and send some text messages or whatever yeah and here it I'm gonna try to just play the

video or is there anything else you want to add no I'm I'm the same as you this is not the sort thing that I am interested in and I don't care about the result of the election so yeah I don't even know what state oh I guess from this video I didn't know what state he was running for until I saw this video where he said the state like three times things I said on the internet a decade ago came out into the public as I shared my personal journey through PTSD and darkness of recovery and accountability in growth, Maine had my back. Now, as every single piece of that past and journey gets dug up, litigated, and weaponized, you have my back.

There you go. What are your thoughts on that? Well, first off, I think it's weird that Fox News is broadcasting that. Yeah. He's running against. Basically advertising his campaign. I think he's supposed to be the candidate that goes against Susan Collins. So that part of it, I think, is strange.

Like there's something going on there pushing this guy out there for a reason. But and I don't know his personal character. I don't know if he's sincere in this stuff. I can't possibly know any of that. But I think that it's good that we're probably getting to the point where the, like, mention of a political scandal in the news doesn't immediately end someone's candidacy. And I'm talking about this only in the abstract. I don't care about this guy at all, okay? Just to make that abundantly clear for the audience. But if we want the American people to take active roles in the government

and public service to whatever extent the government exists and the rest of it, it would be a lot better to have real people who have done real jobs and are real members of real communities representing those communities and in order to have good people want to do those kinds of things well digging into their past to figure out what their worst moments were and then putting them on display for the country is not a good not a good way to get good people with families who want to live nice lives to join the effort and in and help out. So, you know, again, I don't know this guy. I don't know that he deserves anyone's support or people can just make their own decisions about forgiveness or whatever. But

he has a tattoo and there are some rumors or he said some messed up things or did some bad things in relationships. Like everybody has relations. Everyone, virtually everyone, unless you like married your high school sweetheart and are the greatest Christian couple I can ever imagine, everybody's had some bad relationship moments that they probably regret that they feel shame about and don't want broadcasts the world so like if people can stand in there and take that like maybe it's time that we stop making politics about that shit yeah i mean i've been there i've had a couple regrettable moments that have become public i'd say uh i can't believe you sims so hard for platiner man i don't know what happened yeah totally uh thank you captain willie grim 3338 for becoming a YouTube member. I can't believe there's that many Captain Willie Grims out there. But I appreciate that. And yeah, I agree with what you said, though.

But I also, like, he's probably like a conic unit party or whatever figure. Like, you know, at this stage in the game. I don't want him to make any rules for me. I don't. By the way, if he gets elected, it'll be an illegitimate election. So, you know, I don't know why anyone, of integrity would be searching for political power through this process on a federal level right now. It's like we got the communists elected in New York. That didn't do it. What if we got a literal

Nazi elected in Maine? Maybe that'll do it. Maybe not. Probably not. All right. One more thing, guys, get your tickets to Gart. June 25th through the 28th. We are doing a few more exclusive live streams on, I think Thursdays leading up to this event. So Badlandsmedia.tv slash events, you need your tickets to get access to those exclusive live streams, but they're a lot of fun. We're also going to be doing a little golf outing on Thursday morning prior to the events. For those who are there, we'll send out some emails and get, we'll probably do that Monday, send out the first batch of emails to gauge interest.

That should be good time. Chris, you'll be joining us for the golf, won't you? Oh, I don't know about that, John. Oh, come on. Maybe I'll read a cart. Yeah, you can least write a cart. But other than that, we got a couple boosts we have from Iron Time from the UK for $5. Says, checking in with the two best info war coaches out there to review my thinking performance

through another week of sciops, retardation and all-around discombobulation, huge respect for your intellectual honesty, consistency, and for always keeping it real. Thank you for that. Nice. Yeah, and then 1027JS says $20, $420 says thanks. Thank you, Joe, my fellow North Dakota. The one thing we didn't do was go through Trump's Twitter or truth posts. Was there anything good?

Oh, yeah, he's been crushing it today. He had another drone, yeah, drone port. Hell yeah. And that's actually, you can read the caption on that, by the way. It's probably worth it. This will someday save Washington. Judge Leon has to get out of the way and fast. He's putting our country in danger.

Damn. We need that drone port by the time the UFC fight happens next weekend. Yeah. But if Judge Leon gets his way, it'll never, it'll never happen. She is, she, question mark, is obsessed. That's a great one. Yeah, Rosie O'Donnell. And then I love this one.

Oh, that's great. And the whole reflecting pool thing has been such a weird little kerfuffle online. I never realized people cared so much about the reflecting pool and what it looks like. And these are great, man. I'm proud to be endorsed for President Trump. That video is this. This one? Yeah.

I mean, it's so ridiculous. Is it a good outro video maybe? It's a minute long. So it's a short outro video. but yes, it would be suitable for that. Okay. Well, we can do that then. Let's go through the rants real quick before we do. Snowcat operator gifted a sub.

Thank you so much. Johnny A gifted a sub. A couple of them, two subs, it looks like. Johnny A also left $10 says, Keep up the good fight. The boom-diggity left $50 says Gavin Wonka's counting factory video. This might be a good outro too. Who knows?

Check it out. it's like two minutes and 13 seconds long that looks more outro video suitable okay so we'll do the trump one first and then this one once we get to the outro part so we'll do them both thank you boom digity for sending that in and emerald dragon 1333 says i want my government shaken not stirred great comment love that 15 tony b a gifted a sub so did hammer guy 35 thank you guys Valseco 16 says best $5 have ever spent maybe John Chris what would 100% real election be in your world

please explain what would make you say that was a real election besides Donald JT a senator or even a mayor so I don't know what I don't understand you said that he was talking shit about us though oh yeah yeah yeah okay so then yeah like I said at least $20 to get an answer to your question if you're going to talk shit like that

Emerald Dragon 1333. I'm mostly on board with dystopian bots taking my job. Sure, some will be bombs, but it would make so much time for creativity and inventions to come about from the rest of us sick of working my life away. Yeah, I just don't know how the rest of society continues if the money is all just created from nothing and given to everyone. Like, maybe there's something I'm not thinking of. I don't know. Have you and Bernie Bray talked about this yet?

That particular thing? No, I don't think so. I think you guys should. That be a good one. You should watch that movie with Chris Pratt and the AI judge. I did watch that. That was surprisingly good. I thought it was going to be really bad.

It's hard to make that movie. It's like a complicated. There's some plot holes. Certainly. There are definitely problems with it. It's not a great movie. they it was interesting with a very complicated subjects yeah and it's worth discussing on the show like for you so that's like that's like the future they

envision you know yeah yeah it's on the list for sure cool um the boom digity in the movie lord of war the nick cage character used all the items that mr gold rush had in his possession that's interesting i haven't seen that movie in so long isn't that movie like 20 years old or something Yeah, Burning Brighton, I covered that, I don't know, three, four months ago or something like that. And I asked Boom Diggity in the chat to tell me what those items were. And I bet she, right, did. Yes. And I didn't, I did not see the response.

Well, here, what I can do is suit search the boom digity. The boom digity. Good eye, Chris. I ran out of space to rant that part. dark energy weirdo probably had a mark saved today from having any Nazi and other hate tattoos maybe if she did listen it it's gone now so sorry guys um diane laporte clump says the government can create agencies to control their actions and those that benefit we the people if they don't they are null and void dig it uh the boom digity for another twenty dollars says norm is

is big mad about Pulti eyes and loves the document that created the DNI makes me wonder if he had a hand him writing it thanks again for sending that in i'm going to read that and then the real mega mom says john could you do an updated one hour show of what devolution is and how it connects with current events so we can share and the difference between q and devolution what they share that's a good idea i haven't done like an dedicated updated like what is devolution since my devolution recap series which was like two years ago trying to look at my playlist for that that's a good idea i'll I'll think about putting something like that together and do like a standalone show for it. So thank you for sending that in.

But other than that, I think it's all of them. Do us a favor, guys, hit the thumbs up here and on YouTube. I'll be back to Monday for the Daily Herald 1 PM. Chris, when are you back on Thursdays? I'll actually, yes, but I'll be on with Burning Bright tomorrow night for the narrative. Awesome. Okay, do okay. With that, we're going to do two outro videos and get you out of here.

Never been bad. So don't know if I have the time, but we'll see. Anyway, Chris, it's been a pleasure as always. Yes, sir. What's the quote again about the boobs? I want to make sure. More than a handful is a waste. I think we need that on a t-shirt.

I think that's on some t-shirts. Probably. All right. Thanks, everybody. Enjoy the outro's. Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. Everywhere I go, they love Donald, Donald Trump. Down in Mexico, they love Donald Donald Trump.
