Badlands Media - OnlyLands Ep. 47: Fear Theater, UFO Psyops, and the Manufactured Panic Cycle

Episode Date: March 7, 2026

In Episode 47 of OnlyLands, a full menagerie of Badlands Media hosts dives into the mechanics of modern fear narratives and the nonstop cycle of manufactured panic. The conversation kicks off with the... latest wave of UFO disclosure chatter and the strange timing of government acknowledgements, prompting the hosts to question whether these stories are genuine revelations or simply another psychological operation designed to capture public attention. From there, the discussion expands into the broader pattern of media-driven hysteria, where every crisis is amplified, repackaged, and weaponized to steer public perception. The hosts examine how fear campaigns operate across multiple fronts, from geopolitical tensions to cultural flashpoints, and why these narratives appear in predictable waves. With a mix of humor, skepticism, and sharp analysis, the group unpacks how panic is engineered, how the public is conditioned to react, and why stepping back from the noise may be the most powerful move of all. As always on OnlyLands, the conversation swings between serious analysis and absurd humor, making for an episode that is equal parts thought-provoking and wildly entertaining.

Starting point is 00:00:10 of the badlands explain those badlands that's a hell of a name all right welcome to the narrative episode no no we are going to dip into the bright archives and read word for word my latest article with the whole class let's hear it at a dollar it's about russia it does mention russia but it's not a picture. Pleasure that you could join us. Branybro, what's it been? Like, when was your book released again? Nine months ago?
Starting point is 00:01:00 Ten months ago? I remember. August, September. I was on before, after that. Like once. Yeah. I like to, you know, once on a book launch, once between launches, keep things. How's everybody else doing?
Starting point is 00:01:17 I don't, I want to hear from the rest of you. I missed you guys. I'm great, man. I just want to hear from BB about his book. Get Cam out of here. I cam. A lot of the time I turn only lands on, there's like 14 people on. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:34 So it does take some of the pressure off. Yeah. Yeah, it does. Bernie Bray, did you find the gold at the pot of the rainbow yet? Or the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? No, but I will say that Otter video does kind of disturb me a little bit. thinking about death a lot lately. I had no idea.
Starting point is 00:01:53 I had no idea who was going to make it kill you. Yeah. Like I've been thinking about my own mortality a little bit ever since the snowpocalypse. And that just seems a little bit real. It's pretty sweet. So the appropriate name for that giant killer Otter River Monster is the Dobar Chu. And I don't know that I'm pronouncing that correctly, but it's in Gaelic. D-O-B-H-A-R-C-C-E-E-R-C-E-E-R-C-E.
Starting point is 00:02:19 HU. What's it a myth or something? Oh, yeah. It's, it's a cryptid. It's, I mean, I think that at one time they actually existed, and it's like the collective traumatic memory of the Gaelic people. It's like the ass-wing of the Irish. Well, the ass-wing, okay, so the, what's, it's really funny because a video about the
Starting point is 00:02:39 ass-wang came up in my feed today, and I didn't get a chance to watch it yet. I was going to talk about it on a Monday, but I, um, the, yes, it's kind of like the ass-wing. It's supposed to be this creature that used to exist and then no longer does. But interestingly, in like the last several decades, there was at least one sighting of the Dobar Choo. And I think maybe on our show about cryptids, I actually talked about it briefly, but I didn't go to much detail. Who cited the whatever? Some Irish dude. I mean, was he drunk?
Starting point is 00:03:15 And we believe his life. the most reliable people around. Let me tell you, brother. That's what flies is fact these days, so I'm not surprised. We actually did. I'm totally down for this topic because John, like, was going on and on Wednesday night about cats and what are cat facts, and tell me the difference between big cats and great cats and like, what's the difference between a puma and a cougar and a mountain line on
Starting point is 00:03:41 the Florida Panther? And I was like, I'll tell you. Sounds like me. Yeah, that does sound like me. So I'm game to talk about. Otters are actually adjacent to big cats. We want to talk about that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:55 You ruined that whole video for me because I thought it was a rodent of unusual size. And now Zach made it something else. And I'm mad about it. Oh, no. I mean, it's also known as the king otter. They call it a water dog, too. It will steal your kids. Oh, your mom's on my side, Zach.
Starting point is 00:04:09 What? She doesn't like it? No, she said rodents of unusual size. Yeah, I agree. I don't think otters are rodents. They're not rodents. They're actually a precursor to cats. It's an AI video. I think it can be whatever we want it to be.
Starting point is 00:04:21 But if we're going from the historical precedence, you know, I mean, it, baby's right. I mean, for me that hyenas are actually much closer related to otters than they are to dogs. And they're more closely related to cats than dogs. How much time do you spend studying the relations of house pets? I don't know if you know this about me, John, but I have an obsessive personality. when I was a young Irish lad I spent years Breaking news Studying predators
Starting point is 00:04:51 I just imagine him like Sitting his rocking back and forth mom I was on a floor is related to the cat We would debate An ant eaters are related to the bear The well Yes The knee bones connected to the angel
Starting point is 00:05:08 That's why that you see Irvine Anteaters became the ant eaters Because they were founded by hippies And the hippies wanted to find a nonviolent bear because the UC system is the bear, the Bruins, the cow bears, etc. So they came to the eggs. Yes, it's super good. Now we know. That's why you have all those California women who are more afraid to come across a man on the street than a bear in the woods.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Do you guys want to see this is not bloody. Nothing bad happens here. But just to show you how big giant river artists are, this is a. Jaguar attempting to sneak up on one and he wrote she rolled up to the wrong crib yeah they're vicious you see all the homies are like we totally had your back but not until the jaguar was already running up the hill like when you pull us yourself away from a fight and then your friends are suddenly right there yeah get on you from get on how did the how does it not kill that thing They have very sharp teeth.
Starting point is 00:06:26 They have claws. They have like little barbs in their back feet, too, that they can use to protect themselves. It's worth noting it was a woman, Jaguar, Zach. Okay. All right. Well, that makes a lot of sense, too. You can tell from the order of the spot, Sash. Didn't have a penis, Ash.
Starting point is 00:06:42 The fact that the audit didn't die. Is the spot thing real? No, I just said that. No. No. Their skulls are skulls are. You totally just sold me on that. The hips, though.
Starting point is 00:06:52 You could see the hips in the size of the skull. The birthing hips. Okay, so just for anybody who wants to look this up, otters belong to the kingdom of animalia, phylum of cordata, class of mammalia, order of carnivora, and family of mastilidae. Why do we care about it? Because then you might look it up, and then, John, you could fact-check BB on its association with cats and, you know, other things in the family. That's assuming I care, which I don't.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Wait, wait. I think he's trying to make you care by telling you that BB is wrong, but he's going to make you do your own research. He's luring you into caring. Yeah, he's spurring you into caring. I haven't cared since the beginning of this conversation. So it's all good. Oh, you will by the end of this conversation.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Yeah, I'm going to be all in. I'm going to get a beaver, one of those beaver hats. A be good to go. A beaver is not the same thing as an otter, John. Whatever. Whatever. Okay, I didn't mean to. A be a.
Starting point is 00:07:51 Beaver and a pussy. Here's your connection, right? Between otters and cats. I'm sorry. So. So, beavers are fun. The connection is in the carnivora, okay?
Starting point is 00:08:04 And that has included raccoons, as well as it looks like perhaps minks and walruses, funny enough. I wouldn't have included them, but yeah. Didn't know that. Yeah. Wow. Oh, that's interesting. We're all a little bit better now for knowing that.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Who would have known we were going to know so much about otters within the first 10 minutes of this broadcast? We have barely scratched the surface. No doubt. I think I've shown John many dozens of times the video of the otter trying to stack cups. Oh, yes, I've seen that one, I think. I don't think dozens of times, but I feel like you may have shown it once. I thought about showing you dozens of times. Every week, I'm like, did I show John this?
Starting point is 00:08:51 video yet my mother also texted me and said rodents of an unusual size is a reference to the princess bride i didn't know that i didn't know that that wasn't obvious no i haven't i haven't thought about the princess bride except for the last time john brought it up i mean i haven't seen it in probably 20 years when was last time i brought it up we had we had like a brief argument about was brian what was that brian yes because brian claims that zoolander is a better movie than the Princess Bride because he's retarded. Brian is the most uncultured person I've ever met.
Starting point is 00:09:28 And he drinks wine too. I know, that is weird. Like a soccer mound. A Florida Hick that drinks wine. Cabernet. Watching Zoolander. A tragic gasoline fight with my friend.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Crazy. Okay, Bernie Bride, do you want to tell us why you're here, maybe? I don't know what you're talking about.

Starting point is 00:12:00 And remember, we're in a war of stories and we have better writers, not readers, but definitely better writers. Just not read. Read wouldn't have taken that long. Ad scripts. I recorded the power hour with Chris today and I did read that ad read. And nailed it I had probably worse attitude But I didn't mess up the words
Starting point is 00:12:23 He was exasperated the whole time Now it's good shit I think the audio is obviously something That this audience will be more geared toward As podcast hoars The lot of them Did you write that ad copy or did the ad team write it? You definitely use the word scrumptuous sense
Starting point is 00:12:42 Whatever It wasn't it wasn't the word choice So much as the number of words Yeah, that's fair. But he didn't mention Russia once, so I was like, there is one Russian in the book that gets killed. Oh, man. It's not a major character.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Spoiler alert. His brother comes back in the next book to avenge his death. Don't get attached to the Russian. In the audio book, does he have a Russian accent? He doesn't have any lines. He's literally just a henchman guy. It gets killed. So how do we know?
Starting point is 00:13:17 he's russian pretty quick because you make sure to tell you make sure to tell you alludes to hearing him giving orders in a Russian accent but we don't know what the lines would have been Ukrainian I mean just Eastern Europe isn't not just Russian yes that's true that's not a real country so Zach's been listening to some of it though yeah for he gave up it's very good I haven't given up I haven't given up just you know it's a time management thing But yeah, I think it's really polished. It's really well done.
Starting point is 00:13:50 And here's the thing. We were talking a little bit about this before the show. Generally speaking, if I'm listening to an audiobook, I really do appreciate just like a stoic, a British old man reading through the pages, okay? And not necessarily doing sound effects and like heavily produced. But I did grow up with this like this collection of tapes. There was this radio show. I guess there was a number of radio shows that I used to listen to when I was at. kid. They were from like the 1930s before there was any TV or anything like that. And there was this
Starting point is 00:14:22 sort of like Twilight Zone-esque show called Arch Obler's Lights Out. And it was very corny, you know, like overacting because they've got to like push that emotion out through those tinny little speakers. If somebody was walking, they had a guy with shoes on sand and a wooden board that was making the sounds and everything like, you know, all these sound effects. But I thought, I thought it was so cool when I was a kid. And it kind of inspired me to think about doing radio. And I actually did a radio program in college. And maybe it inspired me to do what we're doing right now.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Who knows? What was your radio show about? Well, I mean, I just, when I was in college, like my first year in college, there was a college radio station at the college. And so you do the radio program. They teach you how to use like a standard old school radio. Broadcasting Studio. So you're using magnetic tape reels. All of it is totally useless now because nothing is done that way anymore. You had, you know, if you had ad spots, you had an eight-track tape,
Starting point is 00:15:29 you would literally punch it in. And, you know, a bunch of buttons, the closest thing I have to it is my Roadcaster Pro 2 soundboard over here. And maybe that's why I like it because there's a little bit of a vintage aesthetic to it. But so anyways, I did that. And I had to produce like a whole bunch of ad spots and literally physically sliced tape together, and it was a lot of fun. But long story short, listening to your book kind of brought me back, and I really enjoyed it,
Starting point is 00:16:00 and I thought that it was really, really well done. Thanks, man. I was saying before the show, I actually have listened to a ton of this stuff back when I was in the publishing industry, and I do not usually like dramas. I don't know if you'd call them. like would you call it before the show ash what's the term gay it's like you're
Starting point is 00:16:22 muted you're muted graphic audio graphic audio yeah where you've got multiple actors and sound effects and stuff like that but we did uh think this one worked because it's like it's kind of got that cyberpunk synth wave flare and what's weird is the main actor is irish actually irish like from ire with an Irish accent, which I was shocked about when I spoke to him because he does not have an Irish accent voicing the main character in the book. So kind of a shifty feller. What did the actors say about the book? Well, of course, they're going to say they liked it.
Starting point is 00:17:03 They thought it was really great. They want to keep their job. They told them all the way up until the last page, and then they just got the shit out of there. This is the greatest book we've recorded in days. So I take it you had no say and who was the who the actors would be. You did not get to cast them. No, what happened was actually this book was part of my old, I had a publishing deals.
Starting point is 00:17:31 And my publisher, this is why it took so long to untangle all these rights because people think like, oh, your IP rights, right? You get the IP rights back and it's yours. And it's like, well, what did the publisher do with those rights when they weren't yours? So one of the things my publisher did is sold the audio rights to this company called Sound Booth Theater, who they were in charge of this whole production and did it themselves just because they liked the story. And this came out back in 2020. But when I bought the rights back to the IP from my publisher for the book itself,
Starting point is 00:18:08 I then contacted Soundbooth because I liked their audiobook. And I was like, ideally, I just want this. instead of trying to just remake it because I ended up liking it. And I didn't think I was going to like the graphic audio. And I got a different deal with them. So I got the, you know, we're basically joint. Technically, I own the rights, but I just republished it with them. But it's under my, it's under me rather than my previous publisher.
Starting point is 00:18:34 But yeah, I had nothing to do with it. Although I will say, even though at the time they made this, I did not have the rights to this, the studio reached out to me six years ago when they were making this. when they were making this and were like, hey, what do you think we should do, blah, blah, blah, and like, what was your inspiration for the book? And I was like, well, actually, this is the only book I ever wrote to music the whole time. I was listening to Synthwave music the entire time.
Starting point is 00:18:57 And they got original Synthwave music recorded for the book, like after interviewing me about it. Oh, seriously? So that's pretty cool. That's awesome. It's like in the background, like a score kind of thing. Yeah, it's not the whole time. So it's like it'll fade out. you know, 90% of the book is just the actors.
Starting point is 00:19:14 But like if an intense scene happens, you'll start to hear that like music come into the background. So they do it for like epic scenes. It's pretty cool. The opening sample, the opening like five minutes is as free on Audible. You can listen to it. And I think that scene has some of the music in the background that you can hear. Very cool.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Interesting. Cool. Cool. So, you know, next up, we'll do a gay Netflix race swapped. But I'm going to get I bamboozled them in advance because there's a lot of minorities in this book. So if Netflix adapts it, they'll make them all white. Were you a liberal? Were you a live when you wrote the book?
Starting point is 00:19:54 I was no, I was a Trump guy because I wrote this in, I wrote this in 2019. And I did not vote in 2016 at all. but I was like all into all in on Trump in 2017 dude you cost Hillary but I wasn't in like that I wasn't doing any of this stuff obviously you cost Hillary the election in 2016 bro that's true me too I didn't vote either I wasn't a Trump guy
Starting point is 00:20:22 did you have voted for her no no that's why I didn't vote actually Ash like I I disillute I fully actually I didn't vote in 2012 either so I had um defected from voting in the second Obama run I was like not again bitch and then Hillary I was like well she's the most evil person ever even at the time but I just thought at the time
Starting point is 00:20:45 I knew Trump from like the MMA world randomly and that was like all my knowledge of him really was just like him going to UFC events and being friends with Dana White and saving the UFC which was relevant to my career at the time but I thought he was just doing it for like a celebrity apprentice season whatever thing. I just wasn't paying attention. I had fully removed myself from politics at that time.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Is that how Mark Wayne Mullen got into politics? He picked them up on the octagon. It's funny. You say that, Zach, because in my other line of work, I had one of the guys that works for me, come to me and be like, hey, I think we should, you know, research this Mark Mullen guys in the news a ton and like, you know, we should dig up all the data on his fight career. So I was like working on data research. on his fight career earlier today. Was he undefeated? Yeah, but like, yeah, he was.
Starting point is 00:21:42 He was a lower level. It was a regional. He was a regional. They were professional fights, but he was a regional guy. He never fought in like, he obviously never fought in the UFC, but he never even fought in like a feeder league to the UFC.
Starting point is 00:21:56 He'd be the equivalent of, you know, a local gold glove or something like that. Mm-hmm. But I feel like he was not expecting to be, put in that position today. Did you guys see that, was that yesterday, that video of him on the Capitol steps,
Starting point is 00:22:13 he's like, yeah, just found out before you did. Yeah, I think, I think you're right. I think it was, like,
Starting point is 00:22:20 they went from, Mark, I'm going to need to do this for you, and you're going to need to say yes, and I'm about to put the tweet out. Yeah. That's exactly what I said to be on the show. The combined record of his opponents.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Like, how many, How many points? How many points? He's three and O. Okay, so he's three opponents? He's fought three times. That's it.
Starting point is 00:22:42 He's fought three times. What's the total number of possible fights? The total number of fights is... Of his opponents. Hold on one sec. 20. 20 total fights spread among his opponents. So how many wins, how many losses? One and 19.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Close. Three wins. Wow. in 25. So that makes him look a lot worse, actually. I mean, he beat the shit out of those guys, but he fought a 1-0 guy and beat him. He fought a 1-8 guy and beat him,
Starting point is 00:23:17 and then he fought that same 1-8 guy again, who was then 1-9, and he beat him again. Just a glutton for punishment, I guess. This is why in the fight world we call them cancruishers, is why none of us get impressed by numbers on records, because it's a can-crusher. thing you're like what was your opponent's winning percentage 10% and you're 10 and that's like like boxing like every fire you see is like 22 and oh and you know and there's
Starting point is 00:23:44 like you're like there's got to be a guy out there who's oh in 22 because every one of these guys has this like incredible winning percentage don't they have a name for those guys that are like the losers that fight winners there's different names for them we like one of the classic names is tomato cans that's why they call them can crushers people who beat up on those guys in England they call them jobbers. Okay. Like, England, it's a huge problem, actually, that I've worked with the English authorities. Funny, actually, relevant to some of the stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:18 You've worked with the crown? Scotland. No, no. Like, in the U.S., combat sports is government regulated. And almost everywhere else, it's not. It's like the total inversion where everything else, we're like, we're a little bit more free than Europe. But in Europe, in England, like, you can just put a fight event on in your gym. And in the U.S., like the state athletic commission is like, okay, here's your license.
Starting point is 00:24:49 All your fighters need to be blood tested. We bring in the referees and all that kind of stuff. And that's why in England, if a guy comes out of England who's like 10 and 0, people who are in the industry in the U.S. are like, I do not care. You're fucking English. So you were probably fighting like random guys in a gym like whereas in the US if you're 10 and oh like you were fighting in matched sort of you know different situation so they just probably have syphilis too because no blood tests yeah yeah nobody needs syphilis still though he challenged that guy to a in the Senate remember that he said what they were having like Senate hearings and he called that guy out
Starting point is 00:25:35 got up a fist fight. Yeah, that was pretty cool. I would love to see just Congress beat the shit out of each other since we can't do it to them. How about that guy getting his arm broken in half the other day? Yeah, I didn't watch that video, but I heard about it. You still haven't watched it? I don't care to watch it. Why would I want to see somebody's arm get broken out?
Starting point is 00:25:55 It's definitely going to make your stomach drop. The whole video is strange. The people in the room are strange. The way it pops off is strange. need to watch it. Very strange. No, I mean, if you're partial to watching people get severely damaged, you might want to watch it. I took my time on 4chan.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Yeah, that guy had been in Congress, like, trying to start fights all day long. That was not the first time that he just showed up someplace screaming. So he was looking for something like that to happen. And, you know, I mean, I don't think they did anything wrong trying to get him out of there, especially because he was probably a known quantity. But it definitely doesn't look good that they snapped his arm in half. He was resisting. There's no question that he was resisting.
Starting point is 00:26:42 He took it like a champ, though. I saw a video today where he, I guess they dug this up on his social media. I guess his wife is Palestinian. And he's like wearing the full outfit, going to some UFC fight for some Palestinian fighter. Free Palestine kind of guy. So whatever that's worth. Yeah, I mean, they should have broken on both. Evening it out.
Starting point is 00:27:06 So what Zach is saying, that he was walking around picking a fight for, for Palestine all day. And he finally got it. You know, honestly, isn't that a FAFO? He was, I think it's a FAFO. He was screaming at such an elevated volume and like, basically like, pay attention to me. I demand that you listen to me. And, uh, and it was so off putting. Like, like, every interaction that I saw people were like, what are you even talking about?
Starting point is 00:27:32 like when you see a woman get pulled over by the police and she just immediately starts yelling and telling the cop that she's not going to get out of the car and then the next thing you know she's getting tased it was kind of like that so i actually thought it was kind of satisfying to watch his arm get broken you meant to say black woman well i mean white women it happens to as well but there is kind of a phenomenon right cam the problem is that that uh that liberal white women are copying sassy black That's true. That is true. It doesn't, it doesn't Appropriation. Yeah, also picks up the better and hopefully appropriate. It's like horseshoe theory that ghosts always talks about, right?
Starting point is 00:28:14 Like the left and the right end up kind of becoming the same thing. Like, are sassy black women going to become Karens and then the Karens are going to become Sassy Black women. Jasmine Kroket is definitely a Karen. She's more of a Karen. She's like a Karen with a little bit of hood too. She's not even realhood, though. No, no, it's manufactured.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Totally manufactured. Yeah. I wonder what she's going to do now. She's probably going to get a gig at CNN or something like that. She's smart enough for that? You don't have her be smart to have a gig at CNN, John. Okay. Where's that part of her where she's talking very intelligently.
Starting point is 00:28:51 I see the view is more of her pace probably, but. Maybe, but they've already got a black woman on the view, so they don't need her there. Right. Yeah. Maybe if Whoopi retires. I loved her Kendrick Lamar video that she made and, you know, dancing to that. Was that during COVID or something like that? 40 acres in a mule? I thought that was brilliant. I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:29:15 The only video that I remember with Jasmine Crockett is her campaign ad where President Trump like just like clobbers her for being a moron for like 65 seconds. That was beautiful. High art. It is great when he singles somebody out. We, in my household, Baby Bright, he's always listening to the music. He's obsessed with it. And we were getting sick of the same, like, 30 songs for the last month. So we tried to wade into some new territory tonight.
Starting point is 00:29:44 We're on YouTube, on the TV. And we got into, like, the Eagles and Clapton. And he was super into it. He's getting into rock. Like, he's getting back into, he's really getting into rock. But what was funny is a live performance from 1970, whatever, came up of, Leonard Skinnerd Freebird and then a sweet home Alabama but I you know kind of sent me down a rabbit hole But they I think it was the next day or they're like a few days later that they died in the plane crash
Starting point is 00:30:15 But what was so crazy is mrs. Bright was like anytime I tell her like these people died or whatever Who's famous you know, do you think it was Something you know something you know some sort of conspiracy and I was like yeah well people think that, but I've never looked into anything with Leonard Skinner. And I still haven't in terms of conspiracies, but right away, I'm watching this live performance sold out stadium. Looked like fucking 80,000 people there, right? And these guys are singing, whatever, they're from Florida, right? And giant Confederate flag behind them. Oh, that's Oakland. I didn't know that about them. But like, then I'm thinking like, okay, so southern rock boys exploding into the culture with guitar riffs nobody's ever heard before, like swamp Florida boys in the 70s when the Brits were like dominating the music scene.
Starting point is 00:31:18 You know, like a lot of my favorite rock bands ever are the British rock bands actually. But so they come out here and then it's like- Braxie Redcoat. They get taken out in a, they get taken out in a plane crash. I don't know. Makes me think you got a sold out stadium there. You're rocking the most famous guitar solo in human history in front of a Confederate flag in front of 80,000 screaming women. Like they couldn't.
Starting point is 00:31:43 I could see why there might have been motive from the powers that be to be like, let's get these guys out of the culture a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, that's Oakland Coliseum. I know that video and it's the front row is all full of like, you know, blonde Berkeley students. Yeah. So it's Oakland, totally black city. And, you know, it's totally liberal. And you've got, you're right.
Starting point is 00:32:11 The stadium is full. And it's like where these California girls are rocking out to on stage with the, yeah, the Confederate flags. It's almost very jarring from a historical sense to see that. It is now, but at the time, I assumed it was in the South. If it's the country I'm thinking of, what you're describing is exactly it. It's jarring to see the Confederate flag now, but at the time, it wasn't. No, it was nothing at the time. I was in a band that had a Confederate flag.
Starting point is 00:32:42 We were Jimmy and the Caucasians. I remember you see them all the time down here in Florida, too. The Trevor had a Confederate flag on, and all the guys in the guys in the California. And all the guys in the band, back when the... Should we have him sitting by Cam or should we move them? I'm going to more of a Confederate than some other people. That's for sure. Yeah, our drummer had a Confederate flag on his bass drum.
Starting point is 00:33:09 And we had a bunch of members because, you know, you have a band like that. And members come and go, you know. And so, but then when the whole Confederate flag thing came after Charleston and Dillon Roof, And I was on Facebook at the time. And of course, everybody I knew they were liberal and they were just posturing, you know, virtue posturing like crazy over this. And oh, yeah, the Confederate flag's so terrible. And it's like, guys, I was in the band with you.
Starting point is 00:33:36 You know, it's like, I was in the band with you. And we had a Confederate flag in our band. You cannot fool me, you freaking hypocrite, you know. Exactly. But of course, that's the story of the people like that. I'm not going to play music because I know how that works. But this is the footage. that uh yeah i did not know this was in oakland uh i didn't see the title but yeah now you know
Starting point is 00:33:57 it does add some color when it's like giant confederate flag oakland white chicks college white chicks going nuts and i don't know i imagine somebody at central command being like we need to get a fucking handle on these guys there's also i i loved that baby bright was rocking out to this by the way earlier tonight he stopped what he was doing he was pacing around the room and then he stopped and just started doing his like baby bounce. I was just saying in the chat, BB, you come out in the living room. He's standing there with his hands pressed to the glass, listening intently a single tear streaming down his face. Dude, he is like entirely focused on songs that he likes. If you put something on, he doesn't like it, he'll completely ignore it.
Starting point is 00:34:42 But, you know, I was posting in the chat the other night, the Badlands chat, like one of his favorite videos is the Hall of Fame George Harrison tribute with Tom Petty and Steve Lynn, Steve Winwood and Jeff Lynn. And then Prince does a guitar solo. And anywhere he is in the house, once the Prince guitar solo starts, he just stops and goes and watches the whole thing. Yeah, let me let me know when Baby Bright is ready to co-host audio files. We had Ash on last week and we had a blast. So like he's kind of stealing my playlist, though, Jay. I know, I know, very similar. He's into the classics right now.
Starting point is 00:35:20 It was a fun show, though. If people didn't see it, they should go back and watch it. It was awesome. I moved on making Jay and Brad appreciate jam bands. And Brad in particular appreciate Dave Matthews. Yeah, and he plays. He does. I'm saying I move the needle towards him having an association.
Starting point is 00:35:39 And me as well. I can vouch for that. That was a really nice style. You know, I hated it. Open my mind. I hated Dave Matthews because my brother listened to his album on loop, but I have actually come across his music again as an adult. And I'm like, okay, he's pretty talented. And Ash connected the Southern Rock to the jam bands with me with the Allman Brothers, which I was really not aware of that connection.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Favorite band of all time, the Almond Brothers. Oh, yeah? Yeah, we even pulled in the British Jamlins, too, Baby. We called in Derek of the Dominoes. Dyer Straits was my... I think the single greatest live rock performance of all time is Sultons of Swing at Alchemy Live from Mark Knopfler.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Best Guitar Solo. Did you go to it? No, no, no, but I've watched it on loop. So I was probably, I'm like an expert in it. Didn't the Holman Brothers have like a tragic series of deaths as well? Yes. yeah man what's your favorite band my favorite band well when in the 70s when i was when i was a youngster it was e l o i was big and jefflin yes and uh so a new world new world record was the
Starting point is 00:36:59 first album i ever bought and uh and uh double album uh out of the blue i love those um as time went on you know then they sort of faded away and they were that e l o was like one of those they were in the 70s they were they were sort of esoteric you know and and i was i was trying to learn to play the violin at the time so i thought it was so cool i saw them on johnny carson and they came out and they're performing and they had uh violin and cello and they were painted blue they were painted like you know these day glow colors and i thought oh this is the coolest thing i've ever seen that you can you can actually play the violin it look cool so i really liked that a lot i didn't stick with the violin but uh but i like the yellow up through um
Starting point is 00:37:42 Discovery album, don't bring me down. And then they had Xanadu, you know, and it was sort of like, where's this going? It's the 80s. Everything changed in the 80s. We went on to a different kind of sound. And so by then it was just about dancing in the in the gym with girls. So that was. Zach was trying to get baby bright into daft punk.
Starting point is 00:38:04 It was yes. Oh, yeah. He was partial. Yeah, you're a burning man. I think I, I think I, I saw them at Burning Man. Yeah, nice. Well, the video for around the world is, it's amazing. I mean, like, they have a whole bunch of amazing videos, and that was kind of like the last era of, of, like, well-produced music videos.
Starting point is 00:38:29 And, like, the Spike Jones era, that kind of, that kind of time. And then everything was just, like, asses in hip-hop. Mrs. Bright does get a little bit upset about the playlist. for those reasons. She's like, how did all this stuff end up on here? And I'm like, this is just music these days, babe. Yeah. It happens.
Starting point is 00:38:51 And I don't think he recognizes it yet, but. Oh, he recognizes it. Trust me. That's why he's stopping and paying attention to all the music. Yeah. His first music phase was not rock. I got him into rock. It was like Latin music.
Starting point is 00:39:11 when I was on daddy daycare duty last summer and she was working some full full days, eight hour days. I was like, I don't know what the fuck to do. So then I was trying to get him into music and he didn't like anything. And then I put Despacito on one day. And he stopped crying and me and him listened to Despacito a hundred times a day. Oh, God. Like for a while.
Starting point is 00:39:39 The original or the Justin Bieber one? No, the original one. I didn't know about the Justin Bieber one. And then Mrs. Bright, the Canadian that she is, was like, oh, yeah, the Justin Bieber song. I was like, what are you talking about? This is a proud Latin song. Like, what do you mean, Justin Bieber?
Starting point is 00:39:57 The Desposito was a proud Latin song. It's part of their culture. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, the original one. They're always just like danced around, scantily clad women. Maybe Bright's going to be a politician. Yeah, he'll get the Puerto Rico. We'll have the Latinx vote locked out.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Lettings. He got into Camilla Cabella. It's what they want. They ask for it. Yeah, he was into her for a while. Actually, to be fair, I don't think any of them actually asked for it. I think it was the white Cairns that made Latinx a thing. But it'll be it.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Yeah, I don't think that I know of a single Hispanic person who identifies as Latinks. I don't associate with them. So much fun to say. So yeah. I think we need to rub their nose in this stuff like the pronoun stuff is going away right. I was listening. I did the radio this morning in the I heart radio show and after me was Brian Callan and he was talking about like cancel culture in Hollywood. And he was saying basically that if you have pronouns on your, you know, sheet, your headshot sheet with all your info in the back, you have pronouns on there. They're not hiring you. So they don't want to deal with it. You're too much trouble. You're too much work. How it always should have been. Yeah. Well, yeah, but we're coming out of it. So let's never let it happen again. And we do that, ripping their noses in it all the time.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Oh, for sure. Well, it's going to be interesting to see what happens kind of on that front. There's the big news that seems like it was all quite orchestrated where the Ellisons are getting Warner Brothers after a lot of K-Fabe back and forth with Netflix. And, you know, on paper. It's like, oh, it's going to be the based Netflix versus Netflix. But we have to see. Like, I try to be cautiously optimistic about that stuff.
Starting point is 00:41:51 But the Ellis, I mean, Paramount and them have done plenty of gay bullshit, like ruined a lot of franchises themselves. So that whole industry, though, like Hollywood is feeling the pressure, not just of the wokening, but the AI acceleration. You know, if you go on YouTube right now, you see all these like photo realistic like Captain America versus Batman and you know if you just glance at it you're like man that looks like it's from a new movie and this is the worst that shit's ever going to get so I thought I saw a story today that Qatar might be pulling their like 25 billion
Starting point is 00:42:30 or whatever they put towards that investment I saw some of those two I didn't look really look into them but they were kind of I saw some headlines where they were saying like broadly they were going to withdraw all of the infrastructure money. But that could also just be the globalist machine being like, look at how bad Trump's actions are backfiring and all these guys are going to pull out. I don't know. It would be hard to believe that they didn't know this was going to happen. But, you know, he does a peace tour over there with Qatar in particular. But I don't know. We shall see Big Bad War. Is this our first broadcast since the war started? the war began 45 minutes after the last one our last broadcast ended so we went off the air and they started bombing
Starting point is 00:43:16 i think they waited for us that's crazy it began 45 minutes after our last episode yeah once is our 47 episode yeah 45 47 whoa that's a match ums here is moms nailed it so they started the war to coincide with the 47th episode of Onlylands well 45 minutes after the 46 episode and then this is 47 so let's remember I'm sorry for doubting the strength of the decode there my bet I remember 46 was technically a second term he doesn't like to claim it but it was a second term that was during the 46 episode right after 45 47 yeah and now I get what now I get why they do this it feels real good Red lines everywhere.
Starting point is 00:44:08 We miss our boy blue. Everybody admit it. Of course. Miss him a little bit. I do. I do. It's not like a shameful thing. We've said we're going to miss him before he left.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Yeah. Did you see his remarks at Jesse Jackson's funeral? No. No. Oh. Uh-oh. Those were fun.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Somebody needs to pull it up. I'm on. Darren was telling me, my old Colorado show co-host was telling me that Kamala Harris tried to hijack the Jesse Jack's funeral? I didn't see that. Can we play that?
Starting point is 00:44:41 Can we play that? Has she been like, is she a specific race yet? Like, have they decided what's going on with her? It depends on the setting. So this was a black man's funeral. She was black for this. But if she ends up going out for Curry,
Starting point is 00:44:56 then she's definitely Indian. If we need something Asian, she can claim that region is all. Okay, listen. you all earlier when I was a kid I had a cleft palate or club foot and I didn't even laugh because it's okay to laugh and stuttering I'm not being critical I but think about it's the one place for people think you're stupid oh really I'm a hell a lot smarter most of him yeah he's smarter than all the
Starting point is 00:45:29 black people in the room that's really funny because you haven't Kevin Newsom. Yeah. I'm dumber than most. I'm just as dumb as all you guys. I am the guy who I don't know how to read either. The guy who literally is dumber than just about everyone on the planet claims he's smarter than all this. Oh, certainly.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Kamala dropped her, she dropped her unburdened by what has been lying. No, she didn't. Oh my God, who the fuck is writing for her at this point? Those chocolate flowers. engagement Z. Chocolate rain for Jesse Jackson. Let me say, I predicted a lot about what's happening right now. She already got some of that flavor in there. Yeah, she's been drinking.
Starting point is 00:46:17 I'm not into saying I told you so, but we can't see it coming. She does have a black voice one. But what I did not predict is that we would not have Jesse Jackson with us right now to help us get through this she wrote this speech herself i mean before i play the rest of this like wasn't he old as shit like of course yeah yeah it was inevitable wasn't she gonna die yeah okay i thought so too she's not as smart as by and this afternoon has been such a beautiful remembrance of his spirit his life and his faith and in a way that reverend al talked about it and so many others have.
Starting point is 00:47:02 I do think of this afternoon as what it is doing for me to renew my faith in what is possible, fueled by the hope that Jesse Jackson so often reminded us of. He's got this. He was 84. He was 84 and he was suffering from progressive super nuclear palsy, A rare severe neurogenital, yes, supra, supra nuclear palsy, PSP, a rare severe neurodegenerative disease, often misdiagnosed as Parkinson's disease. He was hospitalized for this condition in late 2025 before passing away at home.
Starting point is 00:47:48 So the only reason that she'd been predicted is because she wasn't informed. I've never heard of that before. I wonder if that's like induced by jabs or whatever. progressive supra nuclear palsy super is big would be small as a it's like from the cerebral okay that's a beautiful cat baby yeah thank you guys i can't believe that i can't believe that they uh that they drop the inward hard r with his name right there man that was the messed up part of it all what they did what god you guys that's why i try to say quickly
Starting point is 00:48:29 because I knew what you get it. Nuclear, nuclear. B. Oh, okay, okay, okay. The N-word, hard R. I got you. We have another clip. I'm just going through like Twitter
Starting point is 00:48:40 and seeing whatever twipped clips come up. This is a bad time. When a tough spot, folks. Got the administration. Doesn't share any of the values, who we have. I don't think I'm exaggerating a little bit. Sorry, I can't control his noise, but B.B., your chair is loud as, like,
Starting point is 00:49:02 like when you like do a little that's my large other animal oh gotcha sorry maybe I'll find a better clip because that's did Trump not go to this no he didn't no is that weird because weren't they friends they were but I mean
Starting point is 00:49:16 you know it's 2026 they probably explicitly told him not to come I would imagine I saw that like Isaiah Thomas was speaking and he like said there were like five former presidents here and he mentioned Kamala as being one of them
Starting point is 00:49:32 Well, he's kind of an idiot. This is a fairy tale event. Yeah, he said President Harris. Well, Isaiah Thomas is like a known idiot, and he's definitely a racist. Absolutely. Bill Clinton is like congenitally unable to close his mouth the older he gets. He looks like a zombie. Is he still thinking about those pictures he was looking at during the testimony?
Starting point is 00:49:55 Man, that was the first time I saw him smile in a long time. The way he tried to grab it back. Oh, he was about to fire that lawyer. right on the spot. I wasn't done yet. How about the fact that both Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton used one of their longtime co-conspirators, Cheryl Mills, as their personal counsel for those depositions. And Cheryl Mills had a relationship with Gilae Maxwell that was also exposed as a result of these emails coming out. Did you expect them to bring new co-conspirators into this back? Dude, I mean, I guess, you know, when you make your lawyer, your partnering crime, it guarantees neither of you
Starting point is 00:50:32 get caught. So I should have known. Yeah, they could, they can swap her out for Mark Elias and be just fine. Probably, probably. Yeah, those hearings are retarded, by the way. Much to what I was told was going to happen at these, uh, those, uh, interviews or whatever. I was told fireworks and all sorts of crazy stuff. I think Hillary did bang the table and leave.
Starting point is 00:50:52 That was in Lauren Bobert posted a photo of her on the internet. Lauren who? Boobbert. Who? Boobert. Boobert. Patriot Barbie. My, she's my, my, my, my Congress.
Starting point is 00:51:02 woman. Although I don't identify as having her as my congresswoman. I wouldn't either. I think although it wasn't... It depends a lot of the mind you're in. Yeah, like, on the Hillary shit, if you went on YouTube that week, it was fucking everywhere.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Like millions and millions and millions and millions of views all over the Normie sphere. So, like, I think a lot of this stuff is just we've seen it so many times. Yes. They were like, okay, these are 2017 reruns, but you go on YouTube and it's, like all the trend. I'm not saying that's good or bad. I'm just saying like that
Starting point is 00:51:36 wasn't what I was talking about either. Yeah, you said like that it was going to be explosive. I'm saying according to Normies it was. It was like this big controversial thing. Still not what I said or meant. I was talking about. Go ahead. Go ahead. Did anybody think that they, that she was going to get asked about frazzledrip in a congressional hearing? Because I didn't. That was like point to Bobert for asking the question. Yeah. Sounds like something to grifter would ask. Oh, John.
Starting point is 00:52:05 I do think that it was worthwhile because both she and Bill perjured themselves numerous times. And, you know, it doesn't mean that they're going to be criminally referred, but they should. And even if they are, it'll be in D.C. Well, no, wait. No, they went to Chappaqua. They went to fucking New York. So they would get indicted in New York. That's actually really good.
Starting point is 00:52:28 What did they lie about? Well, they both lied about the specifics of their relationships, specifically with Gielaim Maxwell and Bill Clinton. He was asked about Mark Middleton, hanging himself with an extension cord and then shooting himself in the chest with a shotgun that just didn't happen to be anywhere close to his body. I was actually thought that was pretty cool. But here's not the perjury. What were the specific perjury? You know, I would have to go back and and review my takes because I found like probably five different areas where they both lied about their knowledge of things. Actually, okay, I can tell you one right now.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Hillary Clinton was asked about the relationship with Gilean Maxwell. First of all, about her coming to Chelsea's wedding. And Hillary said Gilea Maxwell was a plus one. And I didn't know her. We didn't even speak at the wedding. Okay. It's on record that Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton formulated the guest list together. Gieland Maxwell was like properly invited to the wedding. Her date was a man by the name of Ted Waite who was just subpoenaed after Hillary Clinton answered the question in the way that she did. So he'll be coming. In addition to that, Hillary Clinton was asked about Gieland Maxwell coming to the Chapica property and she said, I don't remember ever.
Starting point is 00:53:56 meeting Giela and if she came, then I wasn't there. They also asked Gieland Maxwell about that when she was under oath when Todd Blanche went to go speak with her in prison. And she said, oh, yeah, no, we used to go all the time. And it's because we were friends with them. They were also asked about Zorro Ranch. And Hillary Clinton said that she hadn't been to Zorro Ranch. But there are numerous people who testified previously to the fact that Hillary and Bill and
Starting point is 00:54:25 Chelsea used to come and visit Zoro Ranch on a yearly basis. They would come and they would stay at a very particular portion of the property. So, you know, those may seem insignificant, but I mean, I think that it's an in. I mean, I wouldn't say they're insignificant. I just, it sounds like none of those are actual, like I don't think any of those could be proven as perjury at this point. Sounds all speculative. Well, they, from what I heard of the test.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Oh, go ahead. I was just going to say they, I mean, they're, they're lawyers, you know, they know how to use legal speak. Right. When she said, like, you know, I don't recall every meeting Epstein. You don't recall it. That doesn't mean you didn't meet them. It just means you didn't recall them. So they gave themselves a lot of outs, but they did.
Starting point is 00:55:04 But there were a few like Zach pointed out where I think you probably could. You could certainly make a case for it. Sure. Yep. I mean, the Zorro Ranch thing, those were like employees at Zorro Ranch that said, oh, yeah, they were there all the time and multiple witnesses, you know, saying they were there. Where's that stuff? I want to look at that.
Starting point is 00:55:22 You know, it's eight hours of testimony, John. I mean, no, the proof that she was at Zora Ranch. That was from, that was from like eight years ago. Yeah, yeah, many years ago. You can do a search and I think that there's a daily mail article that talks about it from like 2018. There's, okay, and and to your point, Jay, you're absolutely correct. I mean, when she answered about meeting or knowing Epstein and she said, I can't recall, that is such a Clinton way to answer the question. And then when her lawyer comes out afterwards and allows her to speak to the press, she says,
Starting point is 00:56:00 I never met Jeffrey Epstein. So it's definitive when she's not under oath. And then it's, you know, a wiggle room while she is. Yeah. Yeah, you got to have the plausible deniability. Right. So when after that was done, right, we got the video of it later, right, next day or whatever. And after Hillary Clinton's thing was done, the Republicans did a press conference.
Starting point is 00:56:24 you guys remember that and they i think mentioned that they had perjured themselves and then they were asked as the the congress people were walking away somebody shouted a question of i don't know exactly what the question was but it was something to the effect of how do you know that they perjured themselves and anapalina luna unipanuna said um because of the clinton global initiative and it sounded like they had asked questions but asked ask them questions about their associations relative to the Clinton Global Initiative that they had lied about. But they have the actual information to prove it. It was what Una Penunas comment.
Starting point is 00:57:02 That's another one. I didn't fact check any of that, but that's what she said. Well, I mean, both Jeffrey Epstein and Galen-Maxwell had previously testified to the fact, like, in a federal court that they had been the funders for the founding of the Clinton Global Initiative, and both Bill and Hillary denied that flat out. So that's a lie. yeah so i'm just looking to shut up do you guys notice that i got new glasses uh no miss i went on and i was legally blind with my glasses on oh wow i am too it's pretty bad yeah it's pretty bad so
Starting point is 00:57:40 now i can see a bang up job huh yeah no they were they they were not but i thought i thought i was i thought i was doing great so i guess you really should get your eyes checked regularly when was the last I thought as long as it was like five years. I thought like as long as I could see I was fine, but apparently not because I had my glasses on and he put that eye chart up and it was like, come to Jesus moment. I need new,
Starting point is 00:58:05 I need a new prescription and I know. He's like, you shouldn't be driving. You're legally not allowed to drive. I'm like, it's fine. I don't drive anyway. I think I found the article you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:58:19 It's just one guy with no proof, just a testimony. That's the shit that like, it bugs me because anybody can say anything about anybody. with no corroboration. That's tough. There's just one guy in that article. Well, maybe just in that article, but I've seen
Starting point is 00:58:36 it's one guy. I've seen actual video of people talking about saying they worked there and that the Clintons were there. And if they worked there and you could prove they worked there, that gives them a little more credibility. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Well, do you guys think Burning Bright left because we already read his ad.
Starting point is 00:58:52 I do. Yeah. You got to do something baby related. That's a likely excuse. I'll be back. So we have one source on this. Yeah, it's a former security contract with property. That's it. Contractor's security expert, Jared Kellogg.
Starting point is 00:59:15 And he said that this other guy that was there bragged about the Clintons being there often. So this Jared guy didn't even see them there himself. He just said that another guy bragged about it. All right. So if this was going to be something that was investigated and sought to be proven, They would take a look at travel records. They would look at financials or something like that. I mean, there would be additional digging that needs to be done.
Starting point is 00:59:43 But that would put them in the location, right? Like there's ways to, there's ways to prove that. I would also think that some of those people that question them under oath already knew the answer, right? Good lawyers ask questions where they already know the answer to it. So I would imagine a lot of those questions were to basically entrap them in perjury. Yes. Yeah. Oh, there is.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Hey, he's back. Where'd you go? I wasn't on baby duty. I was on Mrs. Bright duty. You know what else? In regards to them actually being there, there was security system as a Zorro Ranch in the same way there was, you know, at all of the other properties. And there was never any investigation done at Zorro Ranch. So we don't know if any of that footage exists.
Starting point is 01:00:34 in any form at this point. But, you know, if it does, that would be sweet. I was just looking. I don't know if any of you remember this, you, Zach. I don't know if I was talking to you about it. But I feel like in the last week, you know, Trump goes on his truth blitzes and just kind of read truth's things or post articles. He had posted a Nixon Watergate article.
Starting point is 01:01:01 It wasn't like at the time of Watergate. contemporary. It was somewhat recent and it was like this whole retro, I haven't got a chance to read it yet. I was just looking for it. I'll try to find it. But maybe it was Ghost and I were talking in the Badlands Chad that I thought that was really interesting because he posted it in the context of the Epstein files where it was talking. It was this whole retrospective basically saying that the Watergate scandal, the premise of the article was that the Watergate scandal was a trap set for Richard Nixon. Yeah. And that it was way more complicated than he knew at the time. And like, you know, again, there's many schools of thoughts here. I've belonged to both depending on the day of the week when it comes to the Epstein files. And again, you know, people get upset if it's like take Trump at face value.
Starting point is 01:01:56 But then when Trump says something's a hoax, as John and Chris point out, it's like, don't take him at face value there. And I just think the truth might actually. be this weird muddy middle and I thought it was interesting timing like Trump I didn't even know until recent years that Trump was like a protege of Nixon yeah and like very like really really admires him and that's a name for me as a former liberal that's just like I've never even spared a thought to consider Nixon potentially being like not an evil bad man uh but I specifically thought it was interesting that the whole premise of that feature was Watergate was so much bigger and so much more
Starting point is 01:02:36 complicated than Nixon knew and Nixon fell right into it. Yeah. And it made me think like, well, what was Nick's like there's all these theories about what were in the Watergate files and it was like these satanic things and whatever. And Nixon was trying to investigate all the communist weirdos that were all around him in the State Department. And it's like they led him into this Watergate investigation that backfired on him. Yep. And it made me think, is Trump trying to say, like, look at what they're doing to me where I couldn't help but notice the last week.
Starting point is 01:03:14 Every single public communication from Donald Trump is about Iran, right? I mean, granted, he says other shit about energy and stuff. But, you know, the main storyline is Iran. And Congress is like, let's subpoena Pam Bondi. about Epstein. Like, they want it back in headline news. So I don't know. I don't know what the conclusion is, but I was like, what would that trap look like if, it doesn't mean that the, it doesn't mean that there's nothing to the Epstein thing. But I think that, you know, it might be an indicator Trump's trying to throw out there of like, it's so complicated and so poisoned
Starting point is 01:03:51 that there is no untangling it. Like, it has been so fucking tangled by these people. Oh, and by the way, who was on the Watergate Commission originally, Hillary Clinton. That is where she started her political career. She was one of the investigators on that team. So I don't know. Yeah. It's interesting. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:17 So Watergate was- Where is your brush? Because you're doing this. You're grooming. And I feel like you need to be doing that the way John is doing it. It's in the bathroom. I'll go get it in a second. But yes, Watergate was totally a trap that was set for Nixon by the CIA.
Starting point is 01:04:33 And I've always thought that the documents that he was going for had something to do with the blackmail material that likely started under J. Edgar Hoover at the FBI and then had kind of morphed at a certain point into being in the possession of the DNC. You know, Roy Cohn was Nixon's lawyer and Trump's lawyer. so there's a nexus there. Cohn was, you know, a famously homosexual, closeted homosexual, and he was part of blackmail operations that would take place in Washington, D.C. Nixon was also famously very, very conscious of the, you know, commie fags that were in D.C. And he would talk about that a lot. And so I think that, you know, he was kind of led into going after that data.
Starting point is 01:05:25 And they use that to sink him. But literally every single person that was involved in Watergate had connections to the CIA, except for Nixon. He was just, you know, basically. Well, the framing you just put together, Zach, actually kind of, I think, lays out a potential way of looking at what at a relation to the Epstein files, right? Let's like, I'm not calling them fake. I've, you know, was on that train early on and everything. I don't know what the truth is. But let's say the truth community is right, broadly speaking about like blackmail and all this depressing.
Starting point is 01:05:55 among the elites related to the Epstein ring. If it is similar to that template that you're laying out with Roy Cohn and Nixon, then what Trump might be signaling here is like, yeah, there's real shit there, but we can't go down there because they have laid trap after trap after trap after trap. You know, and it's like one of the negative things. I'm of two minds about it because I get the arguments of like, hey, now it's into the zeitgeist and Pizza Gates and the zeitgeist into Normaville, that could be good. And it, unless there's a lot of poison pills there, and that's not why it's in Normieville,
Starting point is 01:06:33 right? Like, it's entirely possible that they're trying to watergate Trump with Epstein. Oh, yeah, I think so. Sure. But it makes me think, like, Trump might never go down that rabbit hole because he's like, it's too, it's basically it's been too poisoned and too messed up. I think we've seen basically, what Trump was referring to as fake very recently because everything that came out in this last
Starting point is 01:06:59 release were fake reports of President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein raping kids at locations that he supposedly owned when they didn't exist. And everything is just complete fantasy with regards to that. But if you guys have ever been on Reddit, go take a look at the Epstein board on Reddit. And literally every single one of those people is a TDS suffering, on who takes every single one of those reports and believes it without any sort of critical thought. And I think that that was the fake aspect of it. And the people who already hated Trump were very happy to latch onto that stuff and just dive head in in terms of the conspiracy. It's also been interesting, like watching people's minds totally break.
Starting point is 01:07:47 I've seen more than a few takes of people who were like, you know, are you kidding me? Like everything these crazy people have been saying for the last five years is totally true. Pizza gates real. You know, child trafficking by the elites. I mean, everybody's dirty. I can't believe it. Like, my world is completely turned upside down. Yeah, that's a macro that I definitely took away from it too is like, you know, I've ultimately, I think that that's a good thing.
Starting point is 01:08:14 It's like, hey, do we think it's a bad thing that more normal people just distrust the quote unquote elites? even if that includes Donald Trump, I don't think that's a negative. If I go to a cookout and people are like, man, they're all pedophiles in the government. I'm like, sure, all right. Like this is better than where you were at. Right?
Starting point is 01:08:34 Like that's better. It's good restraint too, because there's a temptation to then bring them further, right? And you kind of have to let them go at their own pace. You can freak them out if you pounce too much. That's so true, Ash. That's so true. people i've been struggling with that issue for so long trying to try to hold myself back from
Starting point is 01:08:59 from oh no now you need to hear this you know it's like no don't don't tell them yet just uh let them find it like when they're at like courage everybody everyone hang on everyone in the government is pedophiles so we need to vote them out right like that's kind of where i think a lot of people are right now in the in the normie mind there's so much corruption and so much we really need to turn out for the midterms like hang on a second the really positive news here for anybody that's looking for more files is that um you know if it follows the same trend as watergate we only have 54 years uh until more are discovered that are this was the article that trump had re-truthed but i can't find the comment that i had seen i haven't
Starting point is 01:09:49 read this, but just interesting that this came out I just pictured Caleb in his 70s like damn it in my day it's very dramatic that's when you know it's serious right under gray skies to water game prosecutor. I wish they would have released the actual seven pages they found
Starting point is 01:10:07 I think that they have released it but I don't know where the actual pages are. I mean all I've ever been able to find is just summations of those pages what are in those pages anything um a grand jury material nixon being questioned and uh you know basically leading to um some of the people that were in the government that were setting him up um okay i think i well i i i just found five pages john uh this is i'll go ahead and throw it into
Starting point is 01:10:44 the chat all the seven pages i don't know what the base i haven't read this i don't know what the premise is so the so the whole reason that people are talking about is because there was seven pages that were released by the National Archives that dive deeper into the Watergate scandal. And
Starting point is 01:11:04 yeah, and it's basically the deep state wanted to stop Nixon. That's the long and the short of it. Okay, give me just a second. I'm going to go get my beard brush. Okay, well, he's doing that with a commercial, but let's do that real quick.

Starting point is 01:12:27 When I got that from Greek. Green Star and Cheryl, I sent it to Bebe and I said, please don't object to this. And his response was, I'm all in. I said, good, there's going to be merch. That's probably what I looked like during the 100 meter. That was my race.
Starting point is 01:12:42 You ran? A hundred meter. I was a sprinter. I made states. I said that once. I made states and came in last in my heat in states. But I made states. You should have been wearing your lepricon outfit. It probably would have
Starting point is 01:12:56 helped your father. They should spotted me like 10 meters for the short legs or had a bear chase you I was like 5.6 as a freshman and then I sprouted to 5.8. I don't I'm on the archives website and I don't see anything with the new release. The remaining documents maybe. I want to read the actual stuff I don't want to interpret it for me by the New York Times. Oh I was just curious. as to what the premise was. I get what you're saying, Zach, of like, you know, of why the documents are relevant.
Starting point is 01:13:42 I was wondering what the media angle was. I hadn't read that New York Times piece. Like, why are they bringing it up and what's their editorializing? Because the post I had seen Trump re-truth was somebody saying, adding their own commentary to this article and said, like, Nixon had no idea how complicated the Watergate trap really was. but yeah I didn't know if the article was like defending Nixon I assumed it was not because it's New York Times It didn't occur to you to read it
Starting point is 01:14:12 It's it's very long. I don't even read my own articles I was Same once I write them. I'm like it's out of the brain That's literally the terminology I use in my house when I'm like I'm gonna go write something I have to get it out of my head Yeah Absolutely, man. But it'll just stay there.
Starting point is 01:14:34 And I tell John about it. So you guys, it's the 150 year anniversary of the Kentucky meat shower. You heard about that? No. No. It's gay. It's rain and men. No, it's it.
Starting point is 01:14:51 On March 3rd, we just passed it. I'm surprised you guys didn't celebrate. How do you celebrate a meat shower anniversary? They do it in Kentucky. Apparently, 600. people came out to this small town and they had an airplane drop meat onto the people. It was actually little like meat sticks that were wrapped so people were running around grabbing them.
Starting point is 01:15:12 But I guess 150 years ago, I think it was like a farmer in his wife. They went out, they were sitting outside on their patio and it just started raining like two by two inch chunks of meat. And according to the articles back then, they weren't really sure what kind of meat it was. You can't really dust for me. Quail, that would be biblical. Could have been. Yeah, no, they think it might have been some kind of, I think it was like what doctor said.
Starting point is 01:15:39 It's either like the lung of a bear or like a newborn baby or something ridiculous like that. Like you don't know that's different. That's a big difference. Yeah. Good choice. Yeah. It could have just been that that wife was a swinger and they were trying to cover that whole thing up. It was like they found their.
Starting point is 01:16:02 notices. They're like, I heard you, what are you guys talking about this? Like, rumors about meat shower going on over here. Like, oh, that's, that's down the road. Yeah. Cloudy with the chance of meatballs was based on that true story. It, it might have been. Yeah. I was a good twister. That's a cowhired. You meet shower. Well, that's one of those oddly. I'm Googling this, Jay. You better not be getting me into trouble here.
Starting point is 01:16:29 Oh, I would not search raining meat. We used to do that in college. You put meat spin on somebody's computer when they left. Oh, no. Yes. And see how many spins you got. Oh, God. What?
Starting point is 01:16:42 You know, you guys know, right? You guys know. You know. You shouldn't put it. Don't do it. Not searching that one. I don't know if it's still a website or not, but. This is 31 minutes long.
Starting point is 01:16:53 That's insane. Play the whole thing. Watch the video. Watch a couple minutes. So, Jay, they commemorate. Oh, that's a podcast. I don't want to listen. They commemorate.
Starting point is 01:17:03 it. It's um, it's, it's a not the B. They treat it with the reverence of a true detective episode. I just shared it. I don't know. Here is a shorter version. They recreate a meet shower every year. It was a Friday morning, March 3rd, 1876. Mrs. Allen Crouch, who was outside of her house at the time, and sometimes it said that
Starting point is 01:17:28 her grandson Alan was with her. They were outside making soap. They started to first notice. that look like large snowflakes falling out of the sky. And once they start to... Snowflake. It was positive. They missed took a chastewa. John needs forcing.
Starting point is 01:17:46 He needs some sauce. The narrator walks back his first claim. The first claim of the video is this lady was outside and they're like, and some say this might have even happened and her son might have been there. There's a big media article about it. about it. But how do you... Yeah, just got it with Wikipedia. I'm already
Starting point is 01:18:09 I'm going to have aneurysm. How do you confuse snowflakes for meat sausages? This is the 1876, John. These people were not educated as us. Hadn't seen snow before? We're as smart as Joe Biden. Not in Kentucky. They have not They did not know what... Snow was invented in
Starting point is 01:18:25 1877, John. Yeah, it didn't exist. I love that they hired somebody to illustrate this to it's like, hey, we need you to just draw a, you know, a homely person. on the prairie watching meats fall from the sky watching meat it's great hear them hit the ground they hit with what she identified as a cracking sound
Starting point is 01:18:44 and as they looked at them they realized that it was meat the kentucky meat shower is a phenomenon that was never completely solved but it rained meat or meat fell out of the sky for a period of about seven minutes in olympia Look at this. Holy shit.
Starting point is 01:19:02 Transylvania. Small town. It was a very, this guy's very serious. And interesting town at the time. It was the first stagecoach stop to be built from Lexington. Okay, this didn't happen. And soon someone got out of horse and said,
Starting point is 01:19:17 come check out this crazy thing. One man gathered up several of the samples put them in alcohol and shipped it to a microscopy organization in Louisville and one in New Jersey. So pretty quickly, it got to the same. the New York Times. I think New York Times might have been one of the first big papers to write it. And also the Hartford Daily Cornyck from Connecticut. It was in the New York Times. In the New York Times. I teach studio art at Transylvania University. My interest started when I moved to Kentucky and I bought a book from a used book seller.
Starting point is 01:19:46 And when I was still trying to figure out what was exciting or interesting about Kentucky, I just looked in the index of that book and found out that rain meet. I started to gather a lot of information that felt like this is not. Or not. Or not one point seven clause or hasn't for many years because it's just been research. I just, I just can't believe there. I just. I just can't believe those. And we were quoted to saying they thought it was a sign from God.
Starting point is 01:20:01 quickly for them. His motherfucker did this on sound story. Okay. He said, I wanted to find out what was interesting about Kentucky. And I learned that it rained meat. So I wrote about that. And then devoted his life to research. I mean, maybe the derby was not.
Starting point is 01:20:18 Is that the only thing interesting about Kentucky? Yes, meat char. That's it. It is the land of Mitch McConnell, right? And bourbon. Rampol. People believe this happened. But they said it, like it smelled really bad as it, as you might expect from meat just raining down and then rotting in the field.
Starting point is 01:20:39 I found them, John. The documents. Yeah. The meat, the meat, the meat, the meat, the Knickston documents. How many send them? I just sent them right now. You're the seven page. The same country.
Starting point is 01:20:55 Okay, cool. That still says Kentucky has great mushrooms, which you could saute and put on the meat. I'm thinking we should do like a gart. Kentucky for the meat shower festival. I don't want anyone's meat dropping on me. Yeah, they're like meat sticks carefully wrapped now and they drop them from a plane. The thing. So they made it sanitary now. They made it sanitary and edible. So it's jerky now. It's jerky. Yep. That's cool. I love jerky. I'm down. I mean, who doesn't want jerky to be raining down? I feel like we should go see the meat shower for sure. Two people like tasted it.
Starting point is 01:21:35 like a free meat and immediately died from the sky so it was from God obviously yeah yeah totally in the 1800s meat falling from the sky is definitely from God that's a commodity you're not going to pass up yeah especially when
Starting point is 01:21:51 you've had enough bourbon or you're just sick of eating potatoes in 2004 this is the story where the two on name sources guys came from they found a piece of the original stuff Yeah, it's in a lab somewhere in a jar. There it is. That's the neat.
Starting point is 01:22:12 That's how you know. Real. So why have they not done a DNA profile? You doubt this story now. They have it. It's the equivalent of somebody online showing you a satellite photograph produced by a government military and saying, see, this is what happened. This is like an early viral stunt by the local hog farm. Like that is clearly a piece of bacon.
Starting point is 01:22:39 Well, they didn't say it wasn't bacon. Man, we could start a museum about fucking anything we wanted. And laundering all kinds of money through there. And just put some stuff in formaldehyde and be like, this was the great salmon flopping of 19. And all the salmons just flopped around in the snow. It was crazy. What?
Starting point is 01:23:04 you did you say 1919? Is that a thing that happened or did you just make that up? See, guys? See how he's unbelievable talking about it. This is a great molasses flood. Oh, yeah, that was a lot of people died from that. That was a crash. me about that.
Starting point is 01:23:16 This is tragic in Boston. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, really? It feels fake, but I have been told it was real. And they say, they say that on Beacon Hill, you can still smell the molasses on a hot summer day. Say it in a in a southey accent though. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:34 A fucking molasses kid. I lost a great grandfather in that shit. Imagine getting killed by molasses. It actually does sound horrible though. Oh yeah. Like boiling. Worst molten molasses. Yeah, boiling not.
Starting point is 01:23:49 You would think it would be really slow though, right? It's the viscosity is such that it's just going to roll right over you and then it's like racing oil. A dense wall. High ground. You want to climb something. Ash, I have no idea where you got that from. it's not slow as molasses yeah how many people did it kill 21
Starting point is 01:24:08 jesus literally there's the injury the hot molasses so come on apparently hot molasses violates it violates yeah the properties of of molasses thus the phrase it's mostly italians up there so it's so it should be slow as cold molasses slow as as yes temperature controlled molasses it's all guineas in the north end and they still won't let us live it down. Man, they drowning in molasses would be yeah. I would think that the flesh melting off your body from the hot molasses is even worse than the actual drowning. I mean, you're going to feel it until it enters your lungs and then it's over, I guess. Yeah, I'd be willing to bet though that there were molasses deniers that were the ones that died. Like the
Starting point is 01:24:57 molasses conspiracy gets were like, guys, guys, we got to get out of here. It's molasses coming. Yeah. I don't like to learn about that tank for years. There was one guy who was like that tank. Was it hard molasses? Do we know? I thought, I think you have to keep molasses. Yeah, I just thought that's being cold. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:25:18 Is it slow as molasses in January? Is that the full saying? Is it in January part of the full saying? Because that makes sense that would be cold. I've never heard that part of it. I've never heard it either. Okay. It had been warmed.
Starting point is 01:25:31 Like six people said in the church. I know in January. Okay. So that's that's the right. What's that saying is pacifying the temperature, aren't they? It had been warmed on the transfer. It warmed, not boiled. Oh, I might have just been drowning. Well, you know, I mean, it's way more dramatic to think about boiling hot molasses, like boiling hot oil being poured over a parapet at a castle.
Starting point is 01:25:57 Yeah. Fact check, just correcting the record, legal note, there was not like a whole bunch of people saying it there was a couple people saying it a bunch of times in the chat okay so I remember being taught about this in Boston public schools and when you're a kid you're just like that makes sense to me like but they just slot this the molasses flood in alongside just everything else right like all right and then the Boston massacre happened that's interesting right because you you you learn your own state's history as well as like federal history and history cam you and I grew up in same town right did you ever learn about the Georgia guide stones yeah in school uh I
Starting point is 01:26:39 don't even remember like it was obviously in I didn't know no no no no we didn't yeah no that was never so like the molasses flood and the Boston Massacre and all those things I mean we learned about the Boston Massacre that's kind of well that's why I've actually always wondered about that not when I was a kid but when I got older because like I was very bored in history class as a kid and then as I got older I'm like thinking I thought that oh yeah where everybody is they teach you about like where you are yeah and my dad was like no you grew up in the place where like shit was happening very importantly the rest of us learned our state's history and your state's history yeah whereas like if you're in
Starting point is 01:27:19 Boston they just kept teaching you about the Boston revolution right because like you get how did you become so leftist yeah well it's kind of ironic well I've said this a million times it's the JFK thing It is still baked in. And by the way, Donald Trump is a Democrat. I have to remind people of that like every six months. But there is a total inversion of all of this stuff. Donald Trump and the Kennes were like allied families that were East Coast, Northeast city Democrats. And, you know, they came from money, obviously, but they were from criminal families.
Starting point is 01:27:52 They were from, you know, bootleggers, not Trump, the Kennedys, obviously. But I think that's a big part of it. I was just going to ask if anybody had seen. the slothbert we should we should pull that up i have it i'll put up okay so so i'm from michigan and i also learned about the molasses flood and i guess you know i i thought everybody knew about the molasses flood um but does everybody here know about the uh the school bombing in bath michigan did you guys learn about that no okay so this was like the first act of like domestic terror that uh was committed on a public school and um this guy he was
Starting point is 01:28:30 ever or in Michigan no ever in the in the country yeah and it happened about 20 minutes from where I grew up um and so we learned about it we actually went to the site and it was it was crazy that's fucked up I'm reading just a little bit more the school board treasurer that did it yeah he was he was a he was a farmer and his wife was dying from consumption or something like that and his farm was failing and he didn't like the way he was treated and so he had access to the school because of his position and he slowly over time basically packed below the floorboards with like all of this dynamite
Starting point is 01:29:13 and the only reason that more people didn't die is because it didn't all go off at the same time and I'm pretty sure that he ended up like shooting himself before they could get to him I think he shot his wife too and his horse oh the horse what the hell yeah I know what the fuck to the horse ever do to you was she at fault
Starting point is 01:29:31 no no but I mean he was sick of taking care of her okay so burning his wife no the horse can take care of itself it's got a pasture apparently not he killed the horse too well you know but I mean he just wanted it's like the Egyptians you just want to bring him a gun
Starting point is 01:29:48 okay so Burning bright brought up the Kennedys I saw this today I don't know when this drop this is a fight we're going to play a clip from Fox News yes this is Jack Schlaasberg since deleted social media post. He designed a recipe for a Maha energy ball. Schlazboard did?
Starting point is 01:30:12 Yes. Here it is. Ready. You ready? Quote, two ounces of Jew blood. Ashkenazi, not Sephardic. Four cups of mail. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:30:30 This is what the Schlossberg guy said? Faced at 300 degrees. until totally dry like your wife. He has written things, creepy, creepy things about Vice President J.D. Vance's wife. He is seek help. He's running for Congress too, by the way. He's really offended.
Starting point is 01:30:56 He'll fit right in. She seems really almost too offended. She was super funny. Like she's never read a Maria Bromovich recipe before. She's either Jewish or really dry herself or something. Imagine me and JFK's grandson and you get stuck with Schlaasberg as a yeah, yeah, that got like nobody he grew up with believed him. Guys, I swear.
Starting point is 01:31:19 Okay, Schlaugberg. Yeah, the face too, man. The fucking face. Schlaasberg. It makes me think of the schnauzberries taste like schnauzberries. Yes. The river heard of a schnauzberry. speaking to schlossberg we saw that anthropic lost their little contract there and they're spinning out i know
Starting point is 01:31:40 you were reading about that this week ash yeah well they're they're spinning out because the the the labeling and i'm kind of ethically you know conflicted on this story because at least the story of their objection is that they don't think that the federal government should have unfettered access for surveillance and autonomous weapons of AI and the federal government is like okay you're a national security threat and a supply chain risk which makes their tank there you know there's a whole bunch of money that just got put into that company and you know AI investment because it is such a hot thing there's a lot of hype involved there's a lot of players in the market now that you know competing for dollars for investment dollars for AI projects they that's a they're freaking
Starting point is 01:32:28 out justifiably I mean that's that's a significant impact to the roadmap of the business not being able to have access to the government contracts. Yeah, but like morality aside and who is right and who's wrong, it's like they're cooked. I mean, their investors are basically like, you better sue the Pentagon and win or else like you've got no business model. But my- They're negotiating again though now. Like, they're back-negotiating to. They're-
Starting point is 01:32:55 Yeah. Yeah. The, it depends on whose side of it you're reading, right? But the Pentagon side of it was like, no, that's not quite what this was. What it really was, according to the Pentagon, was Anthropic wanted to know everything the Pentagon was doing with the data, which, you know, the bleeding heart liberal in me from 10 years ago would have been like, yeah, we got to keep the government accountable. But now that I know how evil most of these people are and how the Prussian model works and how they just set up their private contractor companies, like they wanted to do. know everything that their models were being used for, which would have been integrated into like all Pentagon surveillance. So now you've got a private company run by that guy who looks a certain
Starting point is 01:33:43 way and, you know, seeing everything that the U.S. military is seeing. And this, they argued, Anthropics said this part was not true. But the Pentagon said it was unclear if they would be forced to seek permission for kinetic actions. And they used an example of like, if there was a ballistic missile headed toward the US, they would have to get Anthropic on the phone to approve an interception. So I'm like, well, that looks like the perfect scenario
Starting point is 01:34:18 to get your little Prussian shield there and go, ah, we missed your call, guys. Sorry. So, you know, I don't know. Also, though, it's the worst case scenario for both sides of that spectrum that is being forwarded as the story for both sides of that spectrum. Yes. Right? So it's bullshit.
Starting point is 01:34:40 Yeah. Yeah, I agree with that. I'm just like, that's where sometimes I just zoom out and look at like, okay, 10 years ago, when I take the Pentagon at face value, no, I don't now. But now that I know it's like, okay, at least the Pentagon is like Donald Trump ostensibly behind it. and the Anthropic guys, you don't need to dig very far into them to be like, but granted, I was wrong about the initial framing of this. I was like, oh, what a great opening for SpaceX and XI AI to just slot in there. But it really isn't their forte, these kind of systems.
Starting point is 01:35:12 And then Sam Altman came in. So, and he's actually faced a lot of bad. Well, yeah, it's interesting to, I don't know like what the end game is here, but. To your point about Anthropic is taking. a ton of damage. Sam Altman has too. Like the contract, if he gets it, is good. But apparently there was a open letter signed by 900 of his employees, like vehemently opposed to working with the Trump administration. So they're all turning on him. Well, it shouldn't really be a problem because from what I understand, Sam Altman is already totally cool with killing people.
Starting point is 01:35:49 what's ridiculous is the thought that the military doesn't already have their own AI program like they don't need any of these fucking public's private sector companies to do this shit so there's something bigger to the story that they're partnering with all these AI people if anything they're like weeding out the bullshit security risks that they're presenting to the public you know like they have their own fucking AI yeah or maybe it's consolidation they admit that in the reporting John they talk about the fact that there was a there's conflict between the anthropic people and the Palantir people who already have contracts and AI application inside of the DOW.
Starting point is 01:36:26 So that's, you're, you're totally right about that. Also, if folks, you know, want to, want to get more of this kind of content every day, you can do the Badlands substack. Yeah, right? I wrote about it all week. You want to, I don't know what you and Ghost talked about for on tomorrow's episode. So do you want to just take a moment? I don't even, I don't even think we talked about the Jews, but we did talk.
Starting point is 01:36:48 about it ran mostly how hard did you have to rush at the end of the episode to beat my time you had to drag him along didn't you you get to shut it up and that's what happens when you're so full of shit box woman on there we were in and out of there in and out of there in 61 minutes shortest episode of the blitz ever badlands dot substack.com the blitz goes out on saturdays and it's free I can't I can't wait to watch and see you just rushing him at the end tomorrow. Yeah. Because that's what I had to do. My goal on that when it was ghost and I went, Burning Bright was, you know,
Starting point is 01:37:21 pretending like the storm and he couldn't do work. When that happened, I wanted my goal was to make it shorter than Burning Bright episode. And it was the shortest episode ever. And then I got a message from Beebe today with the timestamp being what, like 30 seconds under. And he's like, fuck you bitch.
Starting point is 01:37:41 He said that. That's so rude. It's literally what he said. But he gave me a smiling face analogy afterwards. Right. I was like, let me soften this a little. That'll do it. I said that on the air too, by the way.
Starting point is 01:37:55 I think. Cool. I can't wait to see it. Everybody should watch. It's only on substack though. So you got to be on the substack. It's free for some reason. But yeah, you have to watch it on subsect.
Starting point is 01:38:06 It shouldn't be free. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, yeah, I think it's, we give a lot of stuff away. Yeah. Give ourselves. We're like we give ourselves away. We're not unlike the Lord. Okay. Very much unlike the Lord, but we give ourselves away. Yeah. It is what it is. It's a lot of us, isn't it? Our audience supports us as we do appreciate you guys subscribing. Yeah. It's pretty cool. That is pretty cool.
Starting point is 01:38:41 I will say mine, uh, Chris's power of the record today is pretty fire. It was without having the audience to distract us a little bit. It was, um, it was good. Fiery, I'll say is probably the best way describe it. He's not a very good. He's not a good. Tune in tomorrow for that.
Starting point is 01:38:59 Yeah. He tends to just kind of go with the crowd, like whatever the crowd's doing, Chris is like, let me just follow along, go along to get along. Yeah. Yeah. If you, um, he, uh, he was on one in a good way, say.
Starting point is 01:39:14 I guess I'll enjoy it. Cool. Yeah. Should we do some rants and stuff maybe? Sure. Well, will you put my screen show real quick, if you don't mind? I do mind. Okay.
Starting point is 01:39:27 This is allegedly what the ballroom looks like so far in the White House. It's pretty strong. It looks like AI, but. The outside of it, I will admit, just kind of looks like a nondescript Washington, D.C. building, but I guess that's the aesthetic, right? that he's going for like just that plastic this isn't a i rendering right this isn't no there's i drew people in the background though no allegedly allegedly it's not no this is this hasn't been built yet so it's definitely a i this is a rendering it could be an artist rendering that was made by an artist i think that certainly i mean this is based upon
Starting point is 01:40:07 the plans this is what they intend for it to look like yeah yeah trump posted this and you know it was good. Gart? Yeah, like, we can fucking afford that. Are you kidding me? I thought it was for the people. John, if you just take some of your millions and... How many have you made an hour 42?
Starting point is 01:40:28 You've got to be freaking rolling in it. Tickets, $25,000 a pop to that, Gart. It'll be insane. We just get James O'Keefe on board. I'm sure we can probably make it happen. We'd have to do a dance number, though. you guys up for that i'll do it i will i will i will sing for my money when it comes down to that if we
Starting point is 01:40:50 get a chance to go host an event at the new white house ballroom love dancing long bet my people have money for you john peer pressure that's right step and fetch it cams and fetch it i'm only doing it if i could have a giant confederate flag behind me while i'm saying but a bill georgia flag they just literally going to say up until two thousand we're had the Confederate flag on its state flag, like based. Commonalogy. Well, speaking of regions and history, I've wondered about that too, because when I, like, I don't know if it was just generational or regional and generational, but Matt, Matt was
Starting point is 01:41:26 saying earlier, like, it wasn't that weird to see the Confederate flag or you said, Cam, where you grew up. But for me, like, I grew up knowing, like, that's a Nazi symbol, basically. That's how it was kind of just taught that way. See, I grew up watching Dukes of Hazard. and it's on the general lee on the roof so it never bothered me i'm like that's just the this the general lee symbol you know that's just generational i guess yeah it could be regional too though that when it when all the leftings were getting literally bothered by it i was kind of like oh it's like it's a hazard john that's what you should go for when you get the video the the interview with trump
Starting point is 01:42:08 you should time that so it's when the new ballroom is ready and you can do it in the new bond. When is it supposed to be done? Have they even like officially... He's the art of the deal, man. Trump. He's doing. Happy deal.
Starting point is 01:42:23 We haven't got an update from that lawsuit because the lawsuit was super interesting with the whole like, we need to for national security reasons and classified reasons. But, uh, one of those weird. Yeah, I'll do it. I can't. I, you know, the fact that I'm struggling to even get timber shut, you know,
Starting point is 01:42:39 it's a little discouraging that I probably not going to be able to get Trump if I can't get her check. but we'll see what happens summer 2028 is the projection so we got to get an interview before then but then when you get your first interview with him you should say hey when the new ballroom is finished i want to have your kind of like presidential post-mortem rear you know rearview look back in the new ballroom that'd be a great setup be cool to do it when it's not even completed yet too you guys can have your first dance too you and trump can like slow dance be Cool.
Starting point is 01:43:13 Somebody make that AI video please. John and Trump having their first name. That should be a soft disclosure commercial, I think. I mean Trump dancing? I don't want to see you. In the new ballroom. In the new, yes. I prefer to dance with Balania, probably.
Starting point is 01:43:28 You could, like, stroke his hair with your beard brush. There we go. No, thanks. There we go. I could do that. On, super gay. Do it. We should send him a beer brush.
Starting point is 01:43:39 Should. Should. Maybe he'll grow out his beard. Give him some soft. The bitching him. He grew out the beard. He needs a war beard. Yeah, he does.
Starting point is 01:43:47 It's not a war burning bright. It's a military operation beard. Oh, right. Trump said war. I know, but people are retired. That makes Trump's beard a war beard. Heggsuff could be having a military operation beard, but Trump has a war beard because he said war. And Christine Nome wasn't fired, guys.
Starting point is 01:44:05 Did you see the meme of, this is my favorite Marker Rubio meme to date? He just found out getting ready to do. found out getting ready just found out he has to have an affair with kori lundelsky what you didn't see that okay hold your process my favorite one so far that's so good who would have thought rubio would become such a great character and he and he you know he didn't try to he was just like the character was crafted for him entirely by trump and it's just great and he's like the one guy that everybody fully acknowledges like is a character too he's right yeah you're right like administration's like this is the meme yeah so let's just play into it lean into it
Starting point is 01:44:46 everybody else is very real and earnest part of the administration though little Marco really grew up yeah what are you doing over there bro I'm looking at the track but I'm I'm I've worked eyesight than than Ash so I have to lean far in with that's like that's my favorite one so far that's so good and the dog too oh the dog her hearing was definitely an
Starting point is 01:45:19 humiliation ritual the dog the dog thing came up again like it was just throw everything you have and then she's out did you see Ezra Kohn Wadnick retweeted a fake Trump true social post no
Starting point is 01:45:33 oh it's so good let me pull pull that up. Let's save it quick. It's so good. Give me a second. While you're doing that, the White House is on something when they're with all these videos, man. They have a new one that's a touchdown one. It's just like big hits in the NFL, dubbed or like right after that, their bombs being dropped.
Starting point is 01:45:56 There's the one they did that with the MLB, like players hitting bombs and then showing it. There's a San Andreas one now. Yeah. from earlier. I can put it down here. Hold on, one second. I want us on the screen as we read it. This is a fake tweet.
Starting point is 01:46:14 He retweeted it and then he deleted it, but he thought it was real, which is hysterical. Sometimes as a great president, you have to make decisions that you know will not be popular. Corey Lewandowski, a great member of our team. He was very upset at the news about Christy Noam.
Starting point is 01:46:28 He said, Mr. President, how could you? She's gone. Said, no, Corey. She's not gone. Found a nice farm for her to live at. Just like, when she was growing up she's probably running around out there having a great time and that
Starting point is 01:46:39 made him happy congratulations again the senator mullin i think it's more like he doesn't like kori louiske and no one that's so funny i bet he knew i bet he knew it was fake it's like let me maybe but that makes it even funnier because kind of shows what he really thinks of him you know exactly So funny. Wasn't there something else I was just going to look at real quick? No, I was just talking about it. I mean, I could pull up this video if you want, but no. Yeah, what were you talking about?
Starting point is 01:47:17 Yeah, bring it up. It was just, all right. See, John, it's not, it's not a war. It's an NFL. It's a high highlight real. Not a whole football game. It's just hit. We're going to get dinged on YouTube for this, too.
Starting point is 01:47:58 Yeah. Because of ACDC here. Cam, you were the, you're the, you've, get us more copyright things than anybody else. Dude, it's from the White House, man. Hey, that's a com to us too, though, isn't it? Because Badlands Daily used that as the intro video and Bison
Starting point is 01:48:16 use that for their intro video, which is why Badlands daily uses that for the intro video. So, comms for Badlands again. Solid comms. Real and a man. Whoops. By the way, right below that Cancans said Eric Clapton may not even be top 20 guitarists of all time. So if anyone has any takes on that.
Starting point is 01:48:32 Can he play guitar again? You remember he got injured with the COVID vaccine? He was really outspoken. He wasn't able to play anymore. Oh, and by the way, on March 19th, ACIP, which is the, what is it called the CDC's advisory commission on immunization protocols is going to be making an ICD-9 code or 10 code for COVID vaccine injuries, which means it will be an actual diagnosis that doctors can officially make. make, which I can't wait to use because I've had a few patients who would have qualified for that. So that's interesting. Good step.
Starting point is 01:49:13 I'm glad we got like a justice and accountability for that thing. That was such a rough period and so we've got. It's moving that way. And it takes a long, brickin time, but. Why does it take so long? On a shelf. It should. Timing is everything, Ash.
Starting point is 01:49:31 It shouldn't. But a lot of this stuff has been working its way through. the courts and you know you have to change the the liability protections well yeah i mean you have to wait until all the people that did it are dead so they can't be held accountable right well no i believe me i'm you know i don't see why that would take so long but i'm saying to get the cdc to come up with an actual diagnosis code it takes a while it meaning you have to like turn over all the shit bags that were in at cdc and put real people in there and that actually care about people who are named by vaccines.
Starting point is 01:50:07 And that's what Kennedy is doing. So is it is it just COVID vaccine or all vaccines? It's COVID vaccine injury specific in the code is T50 point B25. That's going to be the ICD 10 code. So anybody does medical coding that is the diagnosis code for it. Also not a vaccine. Yeah, but again, these are this is to Jay's point like this is why justice is going to, I think, look a lot differently than we all would have hoped because, you know,
Starting point is 01:50:38 it's the age old. When we did it, it wasn't illegal. So it's like, fuck you, right? And we've talked about this. You know, but I know plenty of people in this audience have talked about the Smith Modernization Act. And it's pretty funny when you look at that and you're like looking at the queue drops and some of the stuff that wing nuts like me think Trump is doing, his comms and is lying to people but in a good for you know good reasons i i like trump but i uh you know narrative warfare and sciops and all that kind of stuff that's why i always think of the clip john plays all the time of illegal psychological warfare operations he doesn't say his administration isn't doing that and you know it's kind of like well they're not illegal because the smith modernization
Starting point is 01:51:23 act made all that shit legal now would that hold up at the absolute end of it totally depends on which random human beings are presiding over any of these arguments, which is what these court cases are. But I think that's just a general issue that people are kind of going to have to reconcile with. I think it's illegal for the intelligence community to do it, though. Okay. And regardless, Bostonian. Well, no, it's definitely not illegal for the intelligence community. What would Sam Adams do about the assertion that we passed a law? that allows us to lie to the people to subvert their will so we can do whatever we want. I'm not in favor of that.
Starting point is 01:52:09 I'm just asking you what Sam Adams would do. Do you not know? Do you not know what Sam Adams would do? You're shaming your countryman right now. He was too busy learning about molasses. Right? Wow. That's rough.
Starting point is 01:52:23 Malas. I still play with the idea of like, and I don't know, but the whole Trump has the Supreme Court and all that. I don't know if they're going to end up doing some of the big, big things that a lot of this community has talked about for a long time. And I still kind of play with the idea that part of what Trump is doing here in this term is demonstrating why it doesn't work as it's set up, right? Like, it might work. It might all work. And the Supreme Court codifies everything he's doing. And, like, that's all great.
Starting point is 01:52:57 right and he obviously him and the most recent one with the tariffs it sounded like they knew that was going to happen and i think that it's easy for people to get into the framing of like oh well then that means the court and trump are like working together on this theory that's not what that means that means that trump knew the court was going to go against him on this thing and has a back door which doesn't seem like donald trump is relying on the supreme court at all in fact it seems like He's trying to get around them with as many of these things as he can because he knows they're probably not going to do what he wants them to do with some of these things. But I don't know. Make Tarn Feathers great again.
Starting point is 01:53:42 Because I got to get going here shortly. So if you want me to be here for Rance, let's do it. Let's do it. Let's find them. Oops. See, that's something on to do. Share screen. Where the heck is it?
Starting point is 01:54:04 Over processing. coming there we go all right k o' kelly says bb needs a chalet log to fight off that otter chilely what is that is that one of those uh it's a like a bludgeoner uh oh yeah we should all have one of those yeah yeah j drake 83 otters are rodents they're mammals it's so it's a mammal of unusual size. Yeah. J. Drake 83, Spellchick,
Starting point is 01:54:36 aren't rodents. We know what you meant. Utters aren't rodents. They're mammals. We established that live on the air. Rodents aren't males? No, rodents are mammals.
Starting point is 01:54:47 It's just sub-classification within the final. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Texas Jules for 25 bucks says Sword Punk, the musical
Starting point is 01:54:57 Deadwood Edition. That's cool. We can have James O'Kee. produce. I like to sound of that a lot. Thank you, text, Jules. Good to see you. CSUSG. Biochem says, please play this as an outro. You guys did a story on it a while back.
Starting point is 01:55:15 Hope it makes it. He corrects it up above, though, so don't grab that one. Okay. Then J. Drake 83 Classic Radio Theater spoof by Fire Sign Theater. Nick Danger, you're welcome. All right. Let me look at it. That is 20 minutes long.
Starting point is 01:55:34 you're welcome you're welcome there should be an apology in there instead of a you're welcome I feel but I'll check it out later maybe probably not CSUSB Geo Chem 1 write video I'm sorry apology except that's
Starting point is 01:55:53 is that also 20 minutes long no you it shouldn't be should not be if he says it should be an outro it can't be 20 no it's um yeah this is a great video Yeah. I got it.
Starting point is 01:56:07 Yeah, we'll watch that at the end. There's also a ghost video that the Riza Tire sent in that I'm going to play at the end too, so we'll do. I already uploaded it. I uploaded it to the files so that we could play it. Okay, cool. Yeah. Um, J-J-J-Rat 83, in two weeks Iran will be super nuclear capable. Any minute.
Starting point is 01:56:31 I'm Kluat, New Mexico. New Mexico. Sure. And M says there was a whale meat shower in Oregon in the 70s. Or you were just on drugs. It was an exploding whale. Yeah, that's the famous exploding whale. I think it was 1970 or so.
Starting point is 01:56:52 It just got floated and it blew up on the beach. So that one was explained where that meat came from, unlike in Kentucky where they thought it was snow. I got to see this, man. It's like the Oregon equivalent of the, molasses flood everybody knows about it Bavage 3
Starting point is 01:57:11 oh go ahead I was just going to say the molasses flood it went 35 miles per hour that that that molasses that's awfully fast I just read that so how do they know that back then you have molasses remembrance day every
Starting point is 01:57:27 no but like I'm saying back in I don't know how they knew that but 1990 like math came out before in 1919. I know what I'm saying. The people there didn't have like a radar gun to see how fast it was going. The people that were nearby were running away from the molasses.
Starting point is 01:57:44 How did they know how fast was going? Maybe there was a cheetah that was running at top speed and the molasses caught him. So they figured there you go. That makes a perfect sense. The zoo escaped and some animals got trapped and others made it. And so they just sort of figured it out from that. It's just funny like some of the stories that you hear like the more specific. the claims it's like okay well that that makes it almost more bullshit to me especially from way like that yeah to that point john there's a lot of people like that used to say on the shows or in the chats like man it used to the news used to be so honest like there's so much bullshit out there now and it's like no there was like four channels and everybody just accepted everything they said every night like wow yeah sounds pretty crazy ridiculous now there's a hundred channels that everybody accepts everything they
Starting point is 01:58:35 say. We talked about that on the power a little bit too about the retardation of oh shit of that a little bit. I'm flute New Mexico. I imagine the song Baby Bright is listening to go something like burning bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, baby. No, no, no, no, no. No, no.
Starting point is 01:58:55 No, no. Burning bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright, bright. He does have a baby shark. Right, burning bright, bright is afraid. of sharks dude trade of sharks dude he does have one of them you're well
Starting point is 01:59:13 and then where are my ass Babbage 2 Babbage 3 from A.M. Axton and the YouTube chat two images that's solid oil gar
Starting point is 01:59:28 that doesn't really resembles me beard oil oligar yeah oil auger your hand is weird we have to fix you it looks like you look kind of like Zelensky there
Starting point is 01:59:37 yeah I kind of do. The hand is horrifying. I prefer lotion Ayatollah now, by the way. So I guess you can get that accurate. Be appreciated. And then mystery of freedom fire. Good to see us.
