Badlands Media - OnlyLands Ep. 52: Tweakers, Tampons & Taking the 40,000 Foot View

Episode Date: April 18, 2026

OnlyLands is back and barely functional after GART, and that's exactly how you know it was a great event. The crew recaps Nashville in full chaotic glory, including a tweaker encounter near the Parthenon, a Brian hero moment, and a birthday party that may or may not have been pagan. From there, the hosts pivot to planning Deadwood and whether they can sneak it into the America 250 celebration roster. The conversation takes a sharp turn into political territory as Zach defends his faith in Trump's long game against critics turning coat, touching on the deep state's grip, multigenerational thinking, the theological roots of short-term political strategy, and the historical erasure of Middle Eastern Christians. If that sounds like a lot, they also tried to launch a tampon company. Yes, really. Tune in for a ride that is equal parts chaos and clarity, with a healthy dash of beard oil.

The Badlands, one of the badlands, explain those badlands. That's a hell of a name. Well, good evening, everybody. How are we doing? Doing good John. That new intro. I love that thing. Great.

Yeah, it's great. It looked like a werewolf. Yeah, you said, you didn't like it. What was your... It's not that I didn't like it. It was just, it's a long story. Because, like, when we first tasked or put this out into the ether, I was like, I want a commercial that we can put on.

Facebook to try to draw new viewers and that's what this was I think originally going to be and then we kind of shifted it to a intro video and so my initial like thoughts on it was like for an ad I don't like this for an ad this is not going to bring in anybody they're like who are these yeah people before for an intro works really well it's a little like the AI thing is I don't know I mean it's a little cheesy but it's a good cheesy it's I don't know what's going on me we look like a mix of like the copperspiring and the Avengers Yeah, I actually, yeah. I mean, I think it's actually pretty cool.

I mean, like, the fact that somebody that, you know, obviously our boy was able to put that together and make it look as cool as it does, I think it's pretty impressive. Now, I have learned recently the secret to Facebook videos to make sure that people watch, you get maximum revenue generation from them. And then you all on Facebook. You can. I mean, I'm not on Facebook, but I've heard, I've heard recently. and I've also seen a couple of examples of some of these videos. The secret to Facebook watch time is to create like a three-minute video, basically, where you present a scenario that seems kind of benign.

You're like, why would someone keep watching? But then you suggest you're going to do something incredible. And then you basically take the next three minutes over explaining every step of what you're going to do. and then by the end of the video, you don't actually do the thing that you said you were going to do. And then you say, make sure you follow and click like for part two. And then by the time people have gotten to the end of that video, they're like, I can't believe I just watched this. Nothing happened.

And then inevitably, they go to your channel and then they go to that. And then we could turn into a trolling thing. Facebook. Yeah, I intentionally don't go to their channel. I know that's that's the thing that's the thing I would never go to it either but I'm just saying like this this is how and this was my point is that people on Facebook I don't understand what they're thinking okay like for anybody who would and because you go look at these I actually I saw this and I was like this is so obviously an intentional waste of time designed to capture somebody's attention so that they can maximize the revenue generation off of it and I thought There's no way this works, but you're looking at the video and it's got millions of views. And then you go to the account and the same thing is true. They've got hundreds of videos, which are nothing but a total waste of time.

Like who is turning into this shit? And they're living in some like massive mansion and they've got like Ferraris in the driveway. Like these paid influencer types. It's very strange. Yeah, we're not doing that. We're not doing that. No, no. I don't know.

I thought that was a pretty good idea. Our plan for maximal revenue generation is trying to take advantage of the YouTube money as long as we can. Rumbles our home. And lotion. And lotion. Yep, lots of lotion. Mostly lotion. But we need all you people to go buy some lotion, softnessclosure.com.

And then also go over to YouTube, watch this video there for a little bit, maybe even played in the background. Click like, watch a few commercials if you're feeling up to it. Oh, my God. Susie's on Facebook. Susie? Susie, do you know this phenomenon that I'm talking about? You have a few people over there. Well, she's the only one I see chatting.

What the hell? That's awesome. Hey, Susie. And hey, YouTubers. But yes, you can monetize on Facebook. I can't believe we're on Facebook. I didn't realize that. We're on Twitch, too. Are we really?

Yeah. Well, we might get banned because I'm here. I don't know about Twitch. We figured we stream everywhere. And, yeah. Hard band. Oh. Yeah.

My dog, you can't hear it through. I tried to turn up my microphone. My dog is howling right now because there's a tornado siren going off because there's a tornado going north of our town right now. And she doesn't like the tornado siren, so she howls at it. I was trying to pick it up.

That's some dedication. I bet nobody else on the stream would be streaming while the tornado sirens are going on. Midwest, like you get on your front porch and watch it go by. I mean, it's just kind of way it is. Can't they like turn on a dime without warning though? You're like, oh, look at the tornado and then it's headed right for. Yeah, but I mean, what are you going to do? If a tornado coming at your house, you're screwed. You just run to the basement. That's the only thing. And I actually happened to already be in the basement. So smart. Nice. What about your kids?

They're up there. They'll figure it out. The sirens are going off. I mean, really fine. Yeah, my youngest is she gets freaked out by it. And my wife, like she had a tornado go by her house when she was in high school or junior high. She's like, you can't even hear it. It should sound like a train. You don't even hear anything right now. We're fine.

So, yeah. We have a second Facebook commenter. What's up, Tish? I heard if you count Michael White. That's not Letitia Picaboo James, is it? Basically viral. Things are popping off right now. I don't know if we can handle this kind of fame.

Facebook's famous. She's from the South. Is anybody with the Facebook? Can you tell me if the fake Red Pill News is still active over there? Oh, I have a fake John Harold over there, too. Tell Patriot. My mom's reported that account so many times. There's a time my son was so concerned because my mom, my mom brought it up when you're over there.

And it's like, yeah, there's this fake account on there. He's like, why would somebody be doing that to you? Did you call the police? Like, they're pretending to be you. Yeah. That is sweet. Yeah, the sense of youth. Dorn, I can tell you some stories when you're older.

Speaking of your mom, we, you ran a question in the Gart Telegram chat yesterday about what kind of new show and you got a whole bunch of responses to what kinds of shows that people want to see. And one of them was a cooking show and I think it's a great idea, you and your mom. So your mom teaching you to be whole. not doing that at least not until until things die down and people stop being faggots towards us too many haters I don't want to subject my mom to that I don't know never get to the point where we don't have haters strong yeah but I'm saying like eventually we might get to a point where we get to expose all the bullshit that the certain

specific group of people have been doing to us that they think they're probably getting away with and then once that totally like eliminates them from the field of competition at that point maybe my mom gets like so concerned over the littlest comments about me she's like people are so mean like affects her and i can't imagine my mom used to do that too you know after almost a decade it really numbs the senses so she'll get over it eventually but in the meantime it's just constant PTSD yeah so i'm not going to bother oh is anyone know how to turn on somebody Bits. Have you monetized on Twitch yet?

I don't know how to do that. Okay, so Black Hat Destroyer, in order to get bits, you have to be monetized on Twitch, and to be monetized on Twitch, you have to be accepted to the monetization program. And I don't know how many followers we have on Twitch. I didn't get accepted to the monetization program until I had like 10,000 followers or something like that, and I had to be bringing in, like, people regularly. Here's the other thing. When you get accepted into the Twitch like monetization partner program, they, well, I don't know if they do it now, but they used to lock you into an exclusivity deal so that like you could, you had to stream on Twitch, but you couldn't stream anywhere else.

So that would be something that you would definitely. Oh, so we need, we need 25 followers. And right now we only have one, but we're one 25th of the way there. Okay. We need to stream four days a month. we've already got that like just today um we need 16 hours we've already got that or sorry four hours we've already got 16 then we need a minimum of three average viewers on four different days no i think we should have that i mean we could get it right now if everybody just wanted to twitch

and watched our shit and followed us over there we'd be monetized by tomorrow yeah there's at least 25 people out of the people watching there's at least 25 people that have twitch i can go do it How have you not done it already, Cam? Because I'm over here in the chat, just cackling in my head. Do black people cackle? Is that a thing? I thought there was a white person. Maybe it's not called cackling. I don't know what it's called. Crackling.

Crackling. All right. So are we just badlands media? I shared the link in the chat that you said you were in. What chat? Oh, I see it. The one where you sent it and Cheryl said. it. That's the one. That's the one, Cam.

Oh, I found it. But so, Drake, first time at Gart as a speaker. What do you think? That was fun. I was so tired afterwards. I was not expecting that. Still recovering.

It took me, I basically on Monday, I had Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday off, so it was able to work on my patio and stuff. But, yeah, Monday, I just kind of laid around the house and didn't do much. Yeah, I did three shows. Actually, four, I had to record with somebody. I thought that I was going to die by the end of the day.

Yeah, that's a lot. Because I made the comment to a few people at Gart that, you know, when you are, and this, it's more so, I think, when you're a panelist, but normal life, you don't get to have good conversations on a regular basis. And then you go from like the desert wasteland into like this all you can eat buffet where it's just being crammed down in your face and you're just like, oh. And so you're just having these deep conversations with people and everyone's coming up and saying hi and telling you their theories and all that kind of stuff. I mean, I enjoyed every minute of it, but I was very tired afterwards.

If that sounds like something you would enjoy, if you want good conversations crammed down your face, go to BadlandsMead.com. dot TV slash events because we get our deadwood tickets for sale right now open to the public yeah so thanks for that that segue yeah drake appreciate that i am uh i'm i have ordered paracord to make a bowhip for deadwood nice it's going to be modeled after the bullwip that young indiana jones uses against the lion in last crusade because it has it's black and red but i'm going to throw in some white in there as an accent to make it Badlands color themes. When are you going to make me a chalice?

A chalice. You know, I actually, one I've got back here, I bought this. We did our church's vacation Bible school. That's how I got into with baking in the first place because I was tasked with being Indiana Jones. But I ended up buying this one. I have a wood lathe and I was going to turn it, but then I just ran out of time. How did the end of that vacation Bible study go? Right.

The end of it? Yeah. Well, was it like the end of the film? Which one? You're holding the chalice. Did the kids choose wisely or did they choose poorly, drink? Well, we didn't actually end up using that in the production of everything. So I didn't, no one had to make any choices.

life's choices Drake haven't it has anybody told you that yeah it was fun though cracking the whip on the stage and all the kids jumped about two feet out of their chairs because it's very loud so you can do it in a church but you can't do it in the streets of deadwood i know well we don't have we didn't have any place inside church is more based on bullshit um speaking of deadwood also i found out that we can apply to make it an official American 250 Freedom Celebration site. That's amazing. And I'm going to try to do it. I doubt we'd get accepted.

Right on. Why wouldn't we? It's the great American restoration tour. I know. You think it'd be a slam dunk. But I'm just saying based on every other time we've tried to reach out to anybody loosely associated the administration about anything, they say, fuck you guys or don't respond. Yeah, but we're all the way in North Dakota.

What's all Matt? You got close. Hey, Matt. That's nice. No. So you can make my camera was frozen. Just got a celebration site and then like Trump might show up or something or what? I doubt that, but maybe.

But yeah, so they have this whole freedom 250.org and they have a list of like celebrations they're doing. Find a celebration here. And we can host a celebration. Yes. And we should. I mean, we're hosting a celebration anyway. It's just a matter of whether or not it's an official sanctioned. Freedom 250.

Yeah, and if they accept it, I wonder how we're going to do that because well, like, they're probably not going to make those people pay the same ticket. It's not going to be the same amount of time, you know. We just get some signage. We get to put like a logo on the website, maybe, you know, put it on the, you know, America 250 branding on next to guard stuff. I mean, I mean, it's a lot more complicated than that because like, we're going to have to alter the entire schedule for the 250 celebration aspect of it.

Well, I mean, it'll be great. It only comes around once in 250 years, John. Guys, I'm not saying it's not great. I'm saying it's a little more complicated than just slap a 250 sign on the website and on a poster and we're good. Hold on, hold on. Is there some requirement that they put upon us if they accept us to be in America 250? Because when I looked, I know, but when I looked at the website, it just seemed like, you know, if you wanted to make your pre-existing celebration be an official America 250 celebration.

It didn't seem to me like there was any like caveats that came with it. I'm fairly certain under natural law, we can just make it. Right. 250 a celebration. Let's see if there's any like toolkits out here. Would that mean we'd have to open up? Like we couldn't be exclusively about it could show up kind of thing. What was that?

Would that mean we wouldn't be allowed to make it exclusive as far as who could attend? I think we'd still like we would have a ticket thing where people would have to get their tickets and come. It would just be a separate thing that is built into the GART program. Oh, I see. We have no idea. No idea. And I don't want to make any promises. I saw him as bright in the chat and I don't want to say things that I can't pull off.

You've already gone there. You've already said too much. just keep going let's figure it out oh man yeah there's got to be some info on here about like that could be a Sunday after after uh Garts over yeah I could do it the Sunday afterwards

or you could do it like the following day on the Monday but I feel like the schedule is pretty packed I don't know if I can what if I have to go home what about Thursday during the day every time somebody takes the stage we just say

hope you're having to have to having a great time at Gart, an official America 250 celebration event. Yeah. There you go. Exactly that. You're like, are you proud to be an American? I know you are. How many?

And regional, it's such a great location in the region because, you know, you have Mount Rushmore right there. And you know there's going to be stuff going on at Rushmore for that celebration. So it's a draw for sure. And, you know, this region is. this area gets a little overlooked. I still think we need to have a guard in Colorado. I think we would pack it. I think so too.

Maybe. How was your thing last night? You want to tell everybody about it? Oh, yeah, it was fun. It was a small gathering of Republican women, Longmont Republican women. And I had a wonderful time. Peg Cage runs the organization and runs the event. And she and I've been friends since 2020.

And she's like an OG kind of true. Ruther, decentralized the party, power back to the people, elder of the Republican Party here in Colorado. Most people think she's kind of like kooky. I think she's spot-fucking on in most of the things that she advocates for. And she is having this event. So I was going to speak. And I went last. So first, there were candidates who, you know, were making their pitch for why everybody should vote for them and join their campaign and don't.

And you know, that's all great. And then I stood up and said that, you know, I asked everybody to define consent because coming off of Gart. Right. And, you know, no, we get it. Well, that means that we approve. And then I quoted Jonathan Drake and said, no, consent means that you have the right to say no. And it started this weird winding journey. We did a quick detour into AI that was based on questions that people asked, which was a little. little bit weird said that representation is non-existent talked about congressional representation going from one in 30,000 to one in seven hundred ninety thousand and how that's not representative that the party is trying to destroy the caucus right now and that's killing off representation and that the electoral college is under attack and you know that kind of on a nationwide level kills off representation ended you know calling it that the only reason that the system continues is because of fake elections and it was uh i i think i think half the people in the room are going to watch badlands i think the other half are going to demand that i never be invited back that's fun

well welcome to the new people who came here because of as speaking of conservative women ash do you think we should uh have a like tampon line for soft disclosure what where did that come from you said you had a group of women like that would have been a great opportunity to sell Yeah, okay, they were mostly retired in postmenopausal, so they wouldn't be buying tampons. If you were going to do like a depends, maybe. I was actually going to suggest, you know, they make like women's period underpants. Okay, we could have special alpaca women's period underpants. You're on to something.

Exactly, right? Willow and goods.com. Yes. Yes. Oh, yeah. Okay. I think we're the millers. It's their call this pronounced tampons.

Mrs. Mrs. Bright says, please never say tampon ever. Okay, well, speaking of tampons. That was a bit jarring. That was a weird pivot you made there. I mean, it can't be that hard to make them. So I'm just thinking here, the profit margins are probably pretty solid. We're looking for ways to support badlands, right? You know, it's a medical device.

I think there's probably a whole host of like regulatory issues we would get ourselves into. I doubt it. You just, like a cotton ball and a string and we're good. Well, I mean, there's also like sanitary considerations. I mean, you've got to make sure that you're not just putting anything up inside of a woman. It is like, waste and warm. Okay, it's a perfect spot for a petri dish. The women today do not have standard sac.

So everything you just said. Whoa, whoa. Actually, this is a solid use case. Bad ponds, maybe. I don't know. Yeah. You can workshop it. But the women's tampons are full of chemicals and also.

sorts of horrible stuff that apparently causes cervical cancer and all these other kinds of things. So if we could crack that nut and do it in America First Waste, America First Way, then it's a gold medal idea. See, I told you. You probably know where they grow cotton, right? In the south, in the south, along the way to Florida, on 75, when you drive down 75, there's just cottonfield all the way. We already got our labor force.

This is already working out so well. What we got a hit cotton. A source of pure organic cotton and then buy one of those. machines that squishes it down into a tampon shape i bet drake's got a machine like that like a press or something sure drake don't you work at a factory where you can like do some of this stuff we can just give you the cotton you going after hours and form it into the shape are we allowed a certain amount of rat feces in the tampons we are that's my area special of expert no that's in food jonathan no there's no rat feces and tampons only the cancer causing chemicals

Yes. I mean, who doesn't want a little bit of cervical cancer over some rat droppings? We have Carson genetic chemicals. We have ethylene oxide. You know, we can, you know, that, that is. What does that do? We're now just establishing the supply chain for the poisonous chemicals to go in the bad ponds. Is that what we're doing right now?

It's made in America poison. They use ethylene oxide to make the starch make look like a ladder. on the molecular level so that it bonds evenly so that when you dry paper it doesn't get blotchy I guess that's much better so it would evenly soak up moisture it's literally we just got we literally need cotton and just get it into the right shape that's all it takes and yes I'm Googling how to make tampons right now the solution no one asked for very doable but yeah I'm seeing i'm seeing dollar signs from a whole new supply chain we never possibly considered before tonight man we we talk about parallel economies all the time but i don't think people understand

what that involves and it's stuff like this it's conversations like this so it must be grow up everybody tan palms toilet paper all sorts of toiletry items we got to work into this i'm seeing that we should probably get to our sponsors huh let's yeah before we get too deep into all the other stuff. Okay, let's do this. Where's the Alpha Self Disclosure commercial? Oh, dang it's not up here. This will do, let's do,

are any of these old videos still good, Ash? Yeah, I think they're all still good. I mean, Easter and Bunny Burning Bright, probably not. The leprechaun probably doesn't work anymore. Tax Revolta is over. You guys missed out. That was one of the highest discounts we've ever given.

Yeah, that was a good one. Yeah. Oh, we'll just do the beard oil one real quick. Get you some of that beard oil. Now that I'm alone at the close up, do you see how awesome my beard looks right now? I use the beard oil every single day. First thing comes out feeling all silky smooth. I take the dropper and I manually apply the oil directly to my mustache.

Nice. Oh, man. I love it. And then I do drops all throughout the hair, and then I just rub it all in, and then I top it off with the tallow stick on the face. I feel like I have to grow a beer just to try this beer well. It's amazing. It's all from softdisclosure.com, and the best part about it is you'll be supporting Badlands Media, Annie from Willow and Farms and basically three of Annie's neighbors. So that's five total American companies that you'd be supporting with one purchase.

I have been using the soft disclosure scentless beard oil every day after the shower. It looks unkempt, but it feels silky smooth. I want to look a little wild and unapproachable, but for the woman I trust, she'll be like, oh, it's actually kind of soft. He is approachable after all. Otherwise, stay away. And soft disclosure will help you too with that. That's the very specific vibe you're going for.

That is very specific, yes. You guys are supporting American businesses when you do that. It's absolutely incredible and you get a great, great product. Softdisclosure.com, everybody. Look at that beerbrush. That's great, Drake. And Cam, mine's up in my bathroom. I love that spice vanilla.

That is such a good thing. My spice vanilla was broken in my luggage. Mine was too. Yeah. Now your luggage smells like spice vanilla. Well, it also smells like broken glass, which is not that fun. What does broken glass smell like? Pain and, yeah.

He said spice vanilla and then also broken glass. I guess if it was a separate smell. Well, I mean, it's not quite the same aroma, but, you know, it's a lot sharper, you should say. There we go. Tush. We do have a few, we have quite a few sponsors tonight. So I'm going to do another. one here. I'm probably going to do two more now and then I'll save our last one for a little bit later.

It's Native Path krill. This episode is brought to you by Native Path, Antarctic Crill Oil, omega-3s plus as a astazanthin for heart joints and memories. Saxia, well, I said that. Raise your hand if you're taking fish oil. I have some news for you. It might not be doing what you think it is. Research out of the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry found that fish oil is 50% less absorbable than a different kind of omega-3. And today's sponsor, has that better version. If you've been taking fish oil for heart, joint, or memory support, here's something you need to know. Research shows fish oil is 50% less absorbable than krill oil, because fish oils, omega-3s are in triglyceride form, where krill oils are in phospholipid form,

which is the same format your cell walls are made of. That means krill oil gets into your cells immediately. In head-to-head studies, krill oil outperformed fish oil at improving cholesterol, reducing inflammation, and easing joint pain, often at lower doses. Native path antarctic krill oil is source from pristine Antarctic waters, contains the powerful antioxidant an antioxidant an and comes in a tiny soft gel so you don't get any of those fishy burps.

Is that the stuff you said you put in your coffee, Ash? That's the collagen peptides. Also native path, same site. It's that's collagen. The crystal oil is little. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Awesome. Okay, and then one more.

Then we can talk about whatever. So somebody have a topic for us to discuss. Once this ad read is over. Patriot protect. These guys are awesome. We're in the middle of the worst stretch of data breaches this country has ever seen and it's hitting right in the middle of tax season. Just the last 90 days, a government contractor that handles Medicaid

and benefits for 46 states got hacked. 25 million Americans had their social security. numbers of medical records stolen. Texas AG called it the largest breach in American history. Panera bred, 5 million customers exposed, Under Armour, 72 million email addresses dumped online, all on top of a record 3,300 data breaches in 2025 alone. Here's where I need to care right now. Criminals are using the stolen data to file tax returns in your name and take your refund. The IRS flagged 2 million returns for identity fraud last year, and if it happens to you,

the average wait to get it resolved is almost two years. And it's not just breaches. right now data brokers and people search sites are publishing your name your home address your phone number even your family members names all searchable by anyone online scammers don't need to hack you they just need to look you up page protect fixes that their search and destroy protocol scans google and over 200 data broker sites finds your personal information and removes it continuously most services tell you after your identity get stolen page your protect removes the information criminals need to steal it in the first place because of what we're seeing right now page of protect is offering you 15% off any plan

Use promo code Badlands at PatriotProtect.com slash only lands. Your data is already out there. So it's time to take it back and make sure you guys catch Patriot Protect on America First Stories episode two here on Badlands media. It was a good discussion. Yeah, I had a good experience signing up for Patriot Protect. It was seamless. They take a few days and do, you know, the analysis and clean it up and come back to you and give you a report on what they found. and then they do the ongoing monitoring, simple, seamless.

It's different than like a life lock kind of product. So that was cool. Got a lot out there. Yeah. One thing that was also cool is that, so I put in all my email addresses, phone numbers, things that they go out and search to find out if you've been breached. Only one platform had zero breach. There was no exposure whatsoever.

Proton mail. It's crazy. Yeah. Good for Proton. Yeah. Shout out to Proton there. That foreign company. Does that cut down on your, like, junk texts and calls and stuff like that?

I have noticed less. I don't know. I probably can't attribute it to that. Correlation. I have no full proof, but. Exactly. My junk texts all come from the Republican Party candidates. Oh, my money for me.

I just got on the do not call list for the Republican Party today. normally doesn't work for me I've done that a hundred times and we'll get a call like 15 minutes after I had John Ossoff asked me for money I think it's because I'm black probably

did you ask him for money back I should have I should have let me hold five dollars John Ossoff what a joke did you guys see the Senate tried to sneak through the Pfizer thing last night allegedly

Oh, the house. Or the house, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I did. I just scumbags. Yeah. Yeah. But whatever.

Yeah, let's talk about something else. What are you on time? Dude, we're done with Iran. We won. We won. It's over. It's why again. We did it again.

Great allies now. We have a great relationship with Iran. Watch us go to war with Israel, allied with Iran. Didn't Israel come out and say that their sovereign nation and their security decisions are there's alone and have nothing to do with President Trump? They did. pretty much unless they're begging us to bomb someone wouldn't it be great to restore Lebanon back to being yes christian country i never knew them like was that a thing back in the

day max oh yeah yeah lebanon population yeah so they were lebanon was sort of designed to be the christian country of the middle east so imagine that a christian country in the middle east so Lebanon was majority Christian. It was always it was it had Muslims too but what happened was after after like the the 67 war Israel that there was so many refugees and they went to Lebanon Lebanon took them in and became majority Muslim and at that point everything changed and there were the civil war and we had you know we had you guys are too young to remember this, but the 80s, the 1980s were such a time of great stability in a way. People look back at it nostalgically now, and for good reason, the country just didn't have a lot of huge issues.

I mean, we had the threat of nuclear war, but nobody really thought that was ever going to happen. But Lebanon was the big thing, not just because of the bombing of the barracks, but because of the hostages. We had these hostages in Lebanon. there were like the CIA agents that got got snapped up by by Hezbollah and whoever I can't even remember at this point it was all big intelligence operation the whole thing you know on both sides but it really kept America sort of on this this idea that oh our hostages we have to we have to do everything to protect our hostages but on the on the what came out of that was a Lebanon that was Muslim that was that was no longer a Christian nation And you look at photographs of Lebanon in the 1970s, and it looks like a very peaceful, stable nation where it was where they had religious freedom and modernism. It was called the Paris of the Middle East. And I barely remember that time. I just remember when it became the terrible thing that it is.

And 50 years later, it's still a wreck. And majority of them. Israel went to war with like the one nation they're trying to make Christian over there? It was historically lots and lots of Christians there. It's just way easier to bomb another nation if they're Muslim. Like if they're Christian, people might have an issue with it. Like, what the hell are you doing, Israel? Every Israeli intervention in the Middle East has resulted in an

and every Israeli and American intervention in the Middle East has resulted in a decrease in the historic Christian populations to the point wiping them out. You know, in Bethlehem and the West Bank used to be a large Palestinian Christian population. They're almost gone. Iraq had a large Christian population. I think like the oldest Christian community in the Middle East as far. Yeah. Yeah. I can believe it. And it was, yeah, thriving. And then because Saddam let him like that, that goes against the official narrative about what Saddam was saying was like. I'm not saying he was a good guy per se, but he allowed the Christian ability. Yeah. To thrive.

there. And then the Jews. Perfect timing. That was excellent. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, pretty much. Yeah, Lebanese immigrants were a thing in the U.S. after the war, you know, like Klinger on MASH, he was supposed to be a Lebanese immigrant, Lebanese Christian, you know. So the idea was we had these Arab Christians.

That was almost like the stereotype. know we didn't is that they that are we had Arab immigrants but they were Christian well that sure is interesting I'm really I'm sorry I'm just gonna say I'm looking forward to not having to give a shit about these foreign nations anymore yeah I hope we're close I just want to see what what the nuclear dust looks like I'm curious I've never seen it before I think uranium's kind of green I just imagine them bringing like mason jars of this like dust looking stuff back in boats and whatnot.

I want to see Gaylon Windsor eat it. Oh, yeah. Maybe it'll be like good old yellow cake. Remember that? Well, you're probably too young for that, John. Maybe Cam has learned about it, but. Well, I just know yellow cake to be, it's like a lemon cake with an icing over it,

black people like it. No, I'm talking. It looks like corn bread, but it's real sweet. Is that the yellow cake you're talking about? That's how cake. That's hoag cake. That's hokey. Yeah.

They have that at the barbecue place? No, Ho cake is actually cornbread. Hose got to eat too. It's like sweeter pancake cornbread. Yeah. They were big as shit too. That barbecue place was good.

I like it. That's really good. I never got a ho cake. I'm actually kind of depressed. I didn't get a hoagic either. I did have damn good brisket though. Yeah. It did make good bricket.

I will say that. What was that place called? We shouldn't say it actually got on air, unless we should talk to them first. See, we can get a sponsorship. We'll talk about it on air all day long. It's so good. Mike sir yeah um so you don't want me to say the name because I was just about to say the

no let's not let's make him earn it's what I'm just kidding go I're never going back to Martin's Martin's that I know is it am yeah that's really good really good food speaking of that that I didn't realize how um like that area seemed very cultural a lot of urban urban Greek. Don't forget the Parthenon right across the street. I just noticed a lot of African Americans. There was a lot of that area of Nashville. I don't think they were African Americans. I think some of them were African Americans.

A lot of them were just Africans. Africans. Yeah, that too. There was a Uzbekistan restaurant there. I saw that on the mat. Oh, did you go? I saw that too. How did we not eat there?

We didn't want. Ghosts didn't know about it. I mean, I was in the mood for goat. Have you ever had Uzbekistanian food? No, but I don't. I've never had the desire to. No, but what, see, I didn't know it existed until right the second, but now I can't live without it. Yeah, I would have gone.

I felt like, you know, the food, the food was okay. I mean, like, Martins was, you know, serviceable for barbecue. The chicken was something else. But, and you, it's, you know, as long as you cook, uh, brisket long enough and you put some barbecue sauce on it, you can't go wrong. So that was good. Lowry season salt. Yeah. But, um, you know, other.

than that chilies that really didn't do it for me that was probably i i don't think i've ever gone anywhere in the last 10 to 15 years where i couldn't finish my food like within the first two bites i got heartburn and i i don't know the last time that happened like there was so much like corn oil that was used to like fry that burger it was awful that was not our best decision but it was like the only thing like that could take our size party well why on the walking distance what about the Uzbekistanian restaurant yeah yeah yeah do you even know what they serve there no and i don't need to what is Uzbek's because you're racist no it's just that that does not sound appealing that's why we should find out it makes me think of uh that uh documentary with

you and mcgregor the long way around we ride some motorcycle with his buddy around the world they're stopping these like little tiny villages and eating like sheep nuts and stuff yeah i imagine Uzbekia's standing cuisine and be like hearing is back what's the comedian it's like weird weird meat side of rice or something like that's like everything how i met your mother uh that's that's that's exactly what we would have gotten at the isbek restaurant yeah yeah like me some kind of rice maybe some beans a couple of veggies they do have some dumpling looking things and some salad diarrhea and we had gart and uh the dpa hush panel that we have to do so.

Tracy Minnet says the Parthenon was awesome. The Parthenon was full of homeless tweakers. Also awesome, though. Cam walked there. It was very cool. It was an achievement of human engineering. However, just completely

destroyed by all of the junkies. Has anybody told the story about are we allowed to talk about that story? We can talk about it. I think we put it on it on Book Club. Did we? Okay. But we can tell it again. Brian's heroics.

Yeah. We can also tell the story of Burning Bright looking for homeless tweakers. Yeah. What is it? Like Burning Bright heard about Brian almost getting into a fight with tweakers and he went looking for trouble. That's my retelling of the story. Yeah. That's how that happened.

So the night before that happened, we were in the field, you know, solving world hunger. And we heard screaming. And at first we thought it was, there was this like, So I was told after the fact it was like a Muslim birthday party. I thought it was some sort of pagan thing. And I'm pretty sure there was a goat's head there. So I'm not convinced on the Muslim thing. But there was some sort of like birthday party.

And they were being kind of loud and doing antics and stuff. So it felt like, oh, they're just getting loud again. But then Brian realized that there was actually something happening. And it was this homeless tweaker, half naked homeless tweaker attacking this elderly couple. And Brian like in his brain, something just clicked. And he just he just turned into Marine Lupo and he he took off running. He got himself in between the tweaker and the elderly couple. And he's like, go, go, go.

And then he's like pointing to us and telling us what to do and all this kind of stuff. He was it out of zero. What'd you guys do? What was he telling you to do? The police and Christy and Jackie and I watched from afar. Did you tell you to do that? You guys don't. Stay away.

I would have been looking crazy. He was really mad at Christy for running after him. Oh, right. You're like, don't ever run. If I'm running into danger, don't you ever run after me, which is, you say, yeah. Yeah, no, it was a, it was great. What does this go? Can you go back to the goathead thing?

It was, but Cam, help me out with this because you were there. Ash, I did not see a goat head. I don't know what I was. There's this birthday or anything happening and they had like regular birthday stuff like balloons and stuff. but they also had what I thought were costumes. And there was, there were headdresses involved in the costumes.

I just, I just saw the thing and, like actual heads. I did that it was pagan. I didn't actually like confirm that it was pagan. I just decided for the purposes of storytelling among our group of six that it was pagan because it was hilarious. So in my head,

they're still pagan. Is there any smoking going on during this? So, okay. Okay. So. Okay. I am yes yes and yes and I'm totally sure so the Gart anticipation John we were high on Gart

anticipation oh I thought you were talking about the tweaker the tweaker oh that guy was definitely awesome yeah you guys I was talking about you guys I was talking about you guys I didn't smoke into that stuff I was smoking but anyway so so the was that We had come up to our group a little bit earlier. So we were all hanging out around the, um, the suffragettes. There was like a suffragette statue area where it had like all the women of. Yeah, those are stupid statues who have suffered or what? That's totally fake.

Like they just made those women up. I mean, the names we had heard before, some of them. The suffragette women? Yeah. We were giant. It's so dramatic. Women were like. They were like,

the suffragette women were giants. Yeah. Yeah, they made. It means giant among men. I heard that they did like a Paul Revere's rider's statue like thing and they added a woman to the riders. Yeah, Sybil Ludington. Yeah, that bitch. She wasn't there.

Why did they add her then? Because I don't know why I know that. Her grand nephew like years later went to a meeting and was like, you know, just a little bit of history for you. they've totally ignored her but my great aunt sybil luddington was there she was the final rider and then it like exploded into this lore and they just canonized it like a bad star wars movie they put up a statue and now people just repeat it unironically looks like she's falling off the horse in the story she looks maniacal like it's so funny to make a woman on the statue and have her like falling off the horse she's like she was the last writer she's like guys wait for me wait for me i'm

like i'm new here this friend's my bossed but yeah so the tweaker came up to us before he started tweaking he was like pretty pretty normal and Caleb actually got it was like three guys hanging out and then the ladies were over like a little bit closer to the parthenon maybe like maybe like 10 feet away from us and then Caleb actually was sitting on this little ledge and he saw the guy walking over So Caleb got up to get between his mom and the guy and the guy immediately walked away, but he was sparking something up. Like it looked like it was just like a cigarette or a joint or something. And then like was it 20, 30 minutes later, we see him over there like harassing those. Spoiler alert.

It was PCP. Yeah. So we're convinced it was PCP. But I talked to Evan, escaped the Matrix. And we actually think between him and myself, we think it might have been Salvia because the way that he freaked out, thought stuff was on him and all this stuff. And then like pretty quickly after everything kind of died down, this guy came over, which was real sketchy. It was like it had to be like his dealer or something. He like walked away with him.

It was very strange. And the guy had kind of stopped tweaking. And usually that doesn't happen if you're on PCP. But Salvi is only like a 15 minute trip depending on how strong it is. And I've seen people think there were snakes. I've seen people think there were people in the road when they're driving. We're not driving. When they're riding in a car, they thought people were in front of them in the middle of the road.

And they wanted people to swerve that were driving. driving and there was no one there. So I think it might have been. Medbed says good PCP has been hard to find since the 90s. Oh God, was ever good? Is that a thing? Good PCP? It's relative. It's relative. I have zero information as a guy. No, no, there's no good PCP. There's never a good PCP. Like, have you guys ever seen Friday when he's like getting out of the car and taking his

clothes off the guy was like the guy was like that. He was like that. He was wasn't as intense as smoky i mean he was but he didn't take his clothes off he already had his clothes off he had his shirt off guys have such colorful experiences over there i i walked over there all i saw were college kids and a bunch of kids on sorority girls out going to some dance in their dresses or maybe it was kids yeah yeah you went to the person on the daytime man trump no i went in the evening too i went it was dark yeah we were the morning there's was it Thursday It was Wednesday night, right? When we went, so it was the middle of the week.

Nothing really going on. I didn't go at all. Sam did moonwalk there and there's video of it on Jackie's. Chrissy did too. Yep. She sure did. Everybody's saying we should play this video that a general Flynn posted. Something war video.

Oh, I saw this. Yeah. There's a couple of things I have problems with, but overall it's pretty good. Okay. Well, maybe if Zach has a couple things, he has problems. It's a little bit anti-Trump. No, we can't play. I just want to see it.

We can't play it. No, no, no. It's not that I don't want to see it. I just, I mean, it's well done. That's for sure. But I feel like, you know, there's some Trump liberties they take, which I feel are unfair. All right. Well, let's watch it.

It's like five minutes long, but we'll go for it. Everybody knows that the days are loaded. Everybody rolls with the music. I have a problem with the music. fingers cross everybody knows the war is over everybody knows the good guys lost everybody knows the fight was fixed the poor stay poor the rich get a rich that's how it goes everybody knows everybody knows every Everybody knows that the boat is leaking.

Everybody knows they got this broken feeling and like their father or the dog just died. Everybody talking to their pockets. Everybody wants a box and chump that turned on stem roads. Everybody knows. Eisenhower? And everybody know. Everybody too.

And every, everybody. Jack, what are your gripes? Well, I mean, portraying Trump as Caesar and subservient to Jared Kushner, I mean, like, that's, that's just kind of like the meme that people put out there. And I think it's garbage. I mean, I'm not offended by any means, you know, but I mean, like, I see something like that. And I pretty much, you know, know where somebody. is at politically. And I think it's funny. I was actually talking about this on my show. Like the number of people who have turned on Trump who are unable to see things from that 40,000

foot view, it's it's kind of crazy to me. But I guess maybe I overestimate people's intelligence generally, which at this point in my life, I shouldn't do. But I've had so many people like writing me like with this anxiety about other people like turning on Trump. And I just keep telling them, it doesn't matter, like to be perfectly honest with you. By the time we get to the end of this administration, I truly believe Trump will be undoubtedly without parallel, the greatest president in if not modern times, then all times. And I don't think Trump cares about people liking him or not because he's not running for office. And I mean, like, he's already president.

This is it. I mean, you know, when when it's done, he's not going to try to get a different position. he's going to go live his life and hopefully he'll have have have fixed america to the point where you know he and his family will be able to have that peace and you know live out their days and perhaps the satisfaction of knowing that he did what was right when other people wouldn't yeah i agree with that i um so so what's interesting i didn't realize that general flynn had had shared that video i saw that video yesterday it was going around um and and watched it but you know realizing that you know general Flynn shared it not saying he made it I don't think what do we know who made it

um I think maybe that jack danger guy I can't even films okay there we go okay so um what's interesting is that I don't know if you guys saw Ivan Raiklin's post oh yes there's a lot of there's a lot of language in Ivan Raiklin's post that matches the visuals in this video and you know they're aligned So, you know, maybe a shift at that off. Well, it's, I mean, it's, again, this is all part of that, like, same memetic theme that people are playing out there. Sure. Which it, which aligns to the, the idea that we need a no king's protest, right, Zach? Like, we need no king's because Trump has elevated himself as king and he's a fascist dictator, et cetera, et cetera.

And sorry, Drake, I know that's not what you're so retarded, right? But now we're seeing the, you know, the right forward the same message, interesting. Yeah, let me read through this. And this is, he quotes an image of Trump's post where he calls out Tucker, Joe Kent. I think he talks about Candice, Megan Kelly. Oh, yeah. There's some other posts about Alex Jones. Calls them all out.

And this is what Ivan Rakeland says. Who's dumber? The betrayer endorsing Democrat COVID genocider Andrew Cuomo so that commie mom Dami can destroy New York City. The betrayer that invited Mark Zuckerberg and Albert Borla into a, the White House, the traitor that does Israel citizens Netanyahu and Adelson's bidding, the slees bag who listens to loser Kushner, the dumbass who gets COVID booster shots, the retard who hosts Al-Qaeda terrorists in the White House, the reject that endorses

Lindsey Graham, the HR disaster that hires the attorney that was winless in his New York case, the failure who can't get a single indictment for the high crimes of the last 12 years of treason, the disaster that is blinded by Levin Lumer constantly stroking his ego so that it can't even be one trillionth mine. The unhinged lunatic angry at Joe Kent for being right on everything about Israel's influence in the Iran war decision making

the coward that betrayed Mega after pushing out the most critical thinking pure bloods in Congress and cover up the Epstein files. It's talking about Trump. And mind you guys, General Flynn, like is with Ivan Rayclan

all over the place. Like those do do everything together. Not everything. Maybe that's a little strong, but they are very close. That's very interesting. And wasn't Reiklin the one on Info Wars with Alex Jones talking, they're both talking about wishing Trump would get assassinated? Let's play the

video so that that is not taken out of context. They say some interesting things for sure. Something similar. Don't want to misquote them. They say they have another person in line. The next person. Let me just play the clip. I don't want anybody to get sued because

we're paraphrasing incorrectly. This is a message directly to every single person on the deep state target list. My assessment, Ivan Rakelin's assessment that if you assassinate any political presidential candidate, whether it's RFK, whether it's Trump, guess what? America will do the following immediately. They will respond in kind and they know who you are because we've created the list. And that's a major rubicon. Immediately.

you're going to see immediately response and there are only a few buildings in Washington, D.C., that they will probably do that. Well, I hope that's not the case, but these people are crazy. And having said that, if they do that, option two behind Trump is going to be so much better for us and so much worse. I was going to say, if they kill him, that's best case scenario from a sick level. from level beating, oh, please, Kelly, which I don't, I mean, but it's so good after that. Oh, it's going to be the best cleansing and the fastest cleansing that we've ever seen in my lifetime. I guess I assess with almost certainty with the highest level of confidence that if they assassinate Trump, it is so game over for them. And it's going to be so fast.

Yeah. stuff I mean there's a lot of like late night home shopping network yeah yeah no this is what's kind of beautiful about what Trump's been doing we've been talking about this on a lot of the power hours lately is they can't figure out Trump and it's bringing out all the people that were never supportive of him in the first place the people that were like the sheep or the wolves and sheep clothing yeah that's how you say yeah thank you i just took me in to get there uh but they're they're all like totally exposed now he is

discombobulating everybody and it's yeah kind of hysterical to see what's even crazier to me is that i mean that that that people who previously seemed to make a living off of analyzing president trump in his moves now seem to be so discombobulated by the things that he's doing and i don't feel like his tactics have changed at all i mean like He's been pretty much relatively consistent throughout his career. And I mean, it's just a matter of who this messaging is delivered at. And Trump has always been a master of manipulation. I mean, doesn't matter who it is that he's manipulating.

I mean, whether he's doing it with words or doing it with actions and keeping people rocked back on their feet. So to see people confused by that, I don't know, I guess it just confuses me. I think it's what you said is the targets. The targets have changed, not as tactics. And that's where they're thrown off because it's people that they either like or support or that they have a vested interest in those people with those ideas. Yeah, there are legitimate things to like be concerned about and critical of to this point in the administration. But it's really being out the people that they're clearly their only goal is to delegitimize Trump. Yeah.

I mean, I think that anything to be critical, I don't even think it's critical of Trump, really. I mean, I think that it's critical of the, of the lasting and enduring power of the deep state. I mean, Trump is, he's not a king, okay? I mean, like, he doesn't have ultimate authority over all of these institutions that for hundreds of years have been set in stone, like deep roots in Washington, D.C. in all of these places. I mean, the task of unraveling all of that is gargantuan in scale. And I mean, it's happening. I truly believe that it's happening.

I mean, I think that Trump is not a fool. I mean, I'm fairly certain. I would say 100%. He knows that if he's unsuccessful, then, you know, what they did to him previously is going to be turned up to a thousand after he is no longer president and everybody around him, too. Yeah, it's his kids that they'd come after after that. Yeah.

Yeah. Do you think it's possible that he is unsuccessful? Is that a possibility to you, Zach? Well, I mean, it's always a possibility. I mean, I'm not naive. I mean, I can't say with 100% uncertainty that anything is going to happen. I mean, I'm just, I'm essentially putting my trust in President Trump and the people that he's got around him to do as much as they can.

and my faith in God that he's not going to completely abandon us. And, you know, I mean, also ultimately at the end of the day, I want America to be successful. And I want a lasting legacy to be left for those who come after us. I don't know that we are going to see everything that we want to see. But I sincerely hope that at least, at the very least, those who come after us, my children, my children's children, my grandchildren. But at the end of the day, all of this is temporary. Okay. Like, I mean, I am here in this physical plane for just a second on the cosmic

clock that God has set. And when it's all said and done, it's not going to matter, really. You know, I mean, like, I just want to be able to help affect as much change as I possibly can while I'm here and and to support the efforts to fix the shit that America has become. What about your grandchildren? This is where, I mean, not to get into a huge, but this is where your eschatology actually matters. And this is where you can see how dispensationalism has been such a problem because it raised entire generations of people to literally think only of themselves because Jesus is coming back at any minute and we don't have to really think about the future. And when I shifted away

from that mindset and I don't really have a firm grasp on what I think the future is going to hold, but one of the things I like about post-millennial eschatology is a guy that I like listening to pose the question, have you thought about your great-grandchildren? Yeah. And that's when I was listening to that on a podcast and it made me realize, like, I need to look into this. I had kind of just written that aspect off of theology for a long time just because I got tired of it. But I realized, like, oh, this actually has some really long-term implications to where you're not just living for your own generation. You're living for your great-grandchildren and you're trying to make decisions that will impact them. And that's, I mean, that has definitely changed a lot of my

perspective on things, which ties right in with what you were saying. Yeah, you know, because I mean, I think about the people who have created the situation that we're in. That's exactly how they thought. I mean, like, this is a multi-generational event that we're currently living through. Those that came before us foresaw the ability to set things up to control the world for their future generations. I mean, they think in terms of multiple generations. And I always say where conservatives go wrong is they think in terms of two and four year election cycles. And that is so self-defeating.

People get like hyper-focused on what's directly in front of them. And they don't think beyond that. And that's what pisses me off so bad about Congress. I mean, this like, you know, unlimited short-term thinking and completely just like dropping any semblance of thought about what might come in the future, like when that bill comes due. Like, you know, how is the, the nation going to survive? And, and hardly anybody thinks about that. It's fucking retarded. It's very reactive.

They're responding to stimulus instead of, you know, having a strategic kind of thought. Since you brought up dispensationalism, though, I just want to tell everybody, today is the 500th and fifth anniversary of Martin Luther's appearance before the, is it diet? Is that how you said that word? Dieter. Deerms. Dietz-verms. The diet of worms is how that's written. That messed me.

Yeah. Diet worms. His diet worms is more fun to say. But to respond to charges of heresy and, you know, I don't know, 30, 40 years after that appearance is when the Jesuits developed dispensationalism as part of the counter-reformation to combat the idea that the Pope was the Antichrist. So that's where Daniel's 70th week was reinterpreted to be something far, far into the future, which gives us, is a step change. It wasn't the entire theology, but it was a step change to bring us to modern Zionism.

That's brilliant. You said 500th year anniversary? 505th, 1521, April 17, 1521. So he was, he appeared on April 17th, 17th. and he essentially asked for more time. And the Pope gave him the opportunity to recant his heretical teachings. And instead, he burned the papable on the 18th. Wow.

I've never done much research on that topic. I should do more. Yeah, I agree about that stuff. Of course, your comments. But yeah, that stuff is, like I said, the implications of future generations. We're just not raised to think that way. And I remember my grandfather talking about this. My granddad was in, he was an electrical engineer,

worked on some of the early transistors, had a lot of back and forth information sharing with the Japanese after World War II, obviously. And they, he ended up having a venture capitalist firm where he was planning people's business plans and all that kind of stuff, and most American businesses were barely wanting to look beyond five years, and all of his Japanese colleagues, they would routinely run out 100-year plans. A hundred-year plans?

Yeah, they're freaking way, way down. And they're not even worried about the little blips up and down of one business cycle versus another, whereas American corporations were just, and that shows the impact of the church and its theology on culture at large, where I think that's probably where American corporations sort of had this very short term. We've got to please the investors right now versus, hey, you know, this is the long game. Just as a culture over the last hundred years,

we just completely forgot that there was a tomorrow and don't even think about it. That's wild. Your dad was doing business with Japanese? My grandfather, yeah, in the 50s, 60s, and 70s and things like that. Post-bombing, Japanese. He co-wrote a book on, it's called Transistor Electronics.

He co-wrote it with the Chinese guy, and then there's a bunch of other co-writers. But that was like one of the early textbooks on transistors back in the 50s. 195, he wrote that. No way. Yeah, he was a pretty cool dude. He would design computers that were like the size of floors and stuff, you know, a huge, huge, monsters, computers. Punch cards and stuff?

Yeah, uh, well, I'm sure he did, but he was, I mean, it was, uh, well, that would have been before any kind of a terminal or something like that, yeah. So they were, yeah, and then he had some of his old vacuum tubes. He had designed vacuum tubes and stuff. He used all that. Did you have any like giant real to real magnetic tapes laying around the house? No, but he did have an old, I can't remember what it was. I think it was even made by Xerox or something that had like 10 inch,

And he had that set up. And I would learn typing on that when I was a kid. I learned on a TRS 180. Trash 180. We had like the original Mac computers with like the see-through shell on the back. That's not exactly the original. That was the original IMAQ. But the Macintosh was similar where it was like just like a gray box.

We had those in high school actually. Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, I remember learning C++ when I was in first grade and I had to code like a turtle that walked across the screen. Yeah, first grade, huh? Is that Michigan? That was in Michigan, yeah. It was a Catholic school, so. Oh, there you go.

Yeah, they were learning how to sling drugs. Private religious school. See, I went to Protestant Christian school and we drank those in the bathroom. Oh. Yeah, none of that going on. Fairly Catholic schools, a better place to be. Yeah, our Catholic high school, I'm pretty sure had the highest per capita rate of pregnant

girls. We had like four in the school at one time, which was more than any of the public schools. Probably the uniforms. No contraception, that's why. Yeah, by the time Catholics got to high school, it was like that. But, you know, I switched to public school because my parents could no longer afford to send me to private school in middle school.

And it was a major culture shock. I was a year ahead of everybody else. And everyone hated me because I would answer the questions in the classroom. Teacher would ask something and I'd raise my hand. Put your hand down, nerd. That was the weirdest transition for me. I was like, what is going on? I was like, isn't this why we're here?

Yeah, I went to public school and people made fun of me for knowing things. And I was like, where the fuck am I? Yeah, dude. It was upside down world. Yeah, I just shut up. I quit talking. Yeah, me too. Yeah.

Or make jokes. When you made jokes and you got in trouble, people were like, I like, I like, this is weird. Once I started smoking weed, I did that in, like, in high school. Then I got popular because I just didn't give a fuck and I didn't care about anybody. So, Zach, were you a teacher's pet? Um, I wouldn't say that I was a teacher's pet, but, uh, for, like my senior year of high school I had enough credits to graduate early and they wouldn't let me graduate early so I'm around so well I mean they they wanted to

catch me doing something wrong so they could expel me but because I they knew that I was you know doing my own thing but like the first half of the day I would go to college and then the second half of the day I was a teacher's aide to the same teacher for two different classes for um oh gosh for psychology and for physical education because he was he was a psychologist who also did the PE class and he was super cool so we just sit there and like you know wax philosophic for the for the last half of the day and I'd grade papers and stuff Dr. Fandrick was his name he was pretty cool he played yeah for the Chicago Bears you were teachers bet that didn't answer my question he was the T.A guy I was the TIA I was

was the TA. Yeah, it was a TA. Same thing. By the way, I've got to do our final sponsor. Okay. I should probably do that real quick. And it is Rumble Wallet. Good friends over at Rumble Wallet. They've been so good to us lately, and they can

If anybody wants to try on YouTube just for the purposes of illustration, we can show you. What a to donate. Have any of you guys played around with C-Dance yet? Like yourself, C-Dense 2.0?

Yeah, I have a little bit. Me and Chris are playing around with like our little AI movie type series. Okay. I'm going to give you guys a clip from it so far. You're going to love it. It's just a nine-second clip. Nothing can stop.

What? is coming. Seems like you're not trusting the plan. Oh my God. I trusted plenty. Yeah, it's crazy. The show, like you can, you take a picture. You type in what you want and it freaking seamlessly puts it together.

It's great. So you took a picture of yourself at a bathroom stall? Is that what you're saying? No, I had a picture. We have a picture of this character. Oh. And we have them doing certain things. and I just typed in, have this guy in the stall, pooping,

but all you can see are his legs, and he's grunting painfully, nothing can stop what is coming, and that's what it produced. That's fantastic. Speaking of nothing that can stop what is coming, Chris is going to be on the No Treason podcast on Sunday. Ooh.

Save that this morning on daily. That's exciting. When is that again tomorrow? Sunday. So normal time, and it will be Polymathenon's debut on my show as well. I know he already popped his cherry on your show.

Are you starting the ether? Yeah, it's going to be a, we're going to talk about talking about the ether. The show before the show. Right, right. In the true Chris Pauline way of

thinking about things. Just kind of setting the table for you. Yeah, that'll be great. Yeah, Polly's great. Chris is great. That'll be fun. Also, Sunday. I interviewed Pet Club the Pet Club people today and I'm pretty sure I mean they have me convinced

they have the cure for cancer essentially even though they're supposed to say that doesn't do that doesn't cure or stop or whatever but the stories they were telling in their background it's just nuts so that'll be a good episode of America First Stories on Sunday and then we're doing some gaming

if any of you guys ever want to join us me and Zach yeah I was like are you down again by the way what's that? Are you able to play this weekend? Yeah yeah I was definitely planning on it I also wanted to do a premium stream with Aaron Russo's America Freedom to Fascism. I've been saying that I was going to do it.

And now that tax season has passed, people were asking me. So I'll probably do that on Sunday, too. Nice. Yeah. Well, that's cool. Anything else you want to talk about? You probably go through rants and stuff. We got any.

Let's do that. What? I miss Gart. But Deadwood is like super close. It's like 10 weeks. Yeah. Yeah, coming back here to this communist country where everybody has lost their fucking minds because it's a governor election year and everybody's wearing their jerseys and running around in circles and screaming. Candice Owens is covering one of our governor candidates here.

And apparently he's like running guns for the IDF according to her. And it's just it is a three ring circus. And I miss Gart. you miss the tweakers i even miss the fucking homeless tweaker that brian took out i mean it's it was i mean that was the closest to color i got in nashville yeah i miss go too it was fun i am from deadwick someone gets to be there longer venue that's like that downtown area there matt you're muted so how do you all get from the rapid city airport to deadwood it's my first time, but how do you guys usually do that? Shuttle. I usually just take my private helicopter.

Most people Uber are a catch ride. I would take a shuttle like Zach said and try to go with a larger group. It's usually less expensive if you do that. Yeah, we try to coordinate them out. So we'll make sure if somebody picks you up. Just let us know when you're landing ahead of time. And by we, I mean, let them know.

Sounds like Cam Ball. Just like Cam know. Cam, I'll pick you up. Is what you said. Pretty sure. Oh, great. Thank you, Cam. I'm not an enterprise. We're doing a golf tournament, by the way, for those golfing. Cancon said he's going to organize it. A little concerning.

Cancone needs to check his messages. He can certainly be the kid in the group project that doesn't actually do any of the group project. Yeah, I could see that happening. Anyway, let me see we got any boosts. And we are going to try to do trial by jury, we think. That's the plan. That's the plan, although now we're throwing a Freedom 250 festival party. So, you know, but the trial by jury thing is going to be cool.

Debwood is a great place to do it because we know what to expect. We know the landscape, lay of the land. And it's where, I mean, we were, we had it pretty much sorted out for Nashville. It was just there was a bunch of stuff that happened that made us push it to Debwood. But it's going to be very cool when we do it. Which honestly, after this guard, like I said, I am glad that we ended up doing that because that would have been a little much. Yeah. That I mean.

Allow us to do this America 250 thing. We'll see. Because I don't know how that will. I anticipate we'll probably have to do that on like the Saturday. And then if we like, so we're going to make a dedicated something just for that, take up the morning or the afternoon or whatever and bringing a bunch more people. Like, I don't know. It'll be interesting. What if we did the Thursday, something during the day before the evening, the IP dinner starts?

Yeah, but then I think I'd rather do it on the Saturday because we can get a lot more people to come in for that, I think. Yeah. Are we going to tell people to take off work to come to that and come in early? Like, that's a lot more difficult, I think, for people asking a lot. We're already asking a lot for people to come to these. So we'll see. Yeah. Sunday after it's over makes sense, too, though.

could be it's a good time a lot of people leave Sunday yeah but these are we're talking about people that are buying the freedom 250 ticket experience right that could be a whole different experience could be but then is that adding more to our dart attendees no we can do our bottom line just kidding no what we could do is this I can do a poll on YouTube when what day Should we do Guard Freedom Fest? I feel like Saturday is the day that makes the most sense because people who buy weekend tickets are going to be there on Saturday. And it seems like most people who buy single day tickets come on Saturday. And because, you know, maybe they're trying to avoid not taking the day off of work on Friday.

And, you know, we're going to hang out after Gart. and um okay i'm just uh sit here talk to myself yeah i'm maybe with you but if you're on youtube or twitch or facebook or twitter you just have to enter what number you want and it will populate on the poll but rumble doesn't work like that there we got a friday so you ask look at that no i did it in rumble why doesn't rumble work when we did this on book club the other day it worked out rumble because we're going through um oh because the other platform studio ah that's why we use rumble studio doesn't lie sorry um Dave agrees with me

no i said sunday i voted for sunday in the um yeah i know ash but but we've already established that your vote didn't count is it because i'm a woman yes no no it's no it's because votes don't matter that's right that's right You could be a man and it still wouldn't matter. Just like actual elections. Badlands Boost from Carrying the Fire 7 on Badlands Boost $10 says best Badlands episode ever was the first time he played there eating the cats, eating the dogs,

eating the pets of the people that live there. I've never seen you all laugh so hard. Even funnier, Chris never abbreviated the title. Always says whole. that's yeah that was a great episode not going to lie that whole eating that whole Haitian eating the dogs and cats things was awesome also prime minister barbecue that's him that was a great episode dude there's there's too much stuff that happens like to remember everything you got a binge watch man get a bit like like generational moments that happen like every freaking week then they're not

generational. There's hard law now. That happens. Relative to what used to happen that was generational. Fair enough. It is, you're right. It's like there's a lot happening, but also at the same times there are sometimes. But it's like, I feel like nothing is happening.

It's so boring. Yeah. And repetitive. You guys are just feeling Operation Warps speed. I've been convinced since day one. It was way more of a cultural, all-encompassing thing than one specific thing about the vaccine. Maybe. Speeding up the new cycle.

Uh, we got some. rumble rants here. Keitho Higgins says, John, it's all about the marketing first. Send a tanker full of Badlands beard oil to the street of Trump and make penis shape navigations through it first. Love that. It's a great idea. Keith's back.

Yeah. And we're happy he is. Susie Q20 says, wait till I get to Colorado Springs to have the gart there. There's a lot of great options. in terms of, you know, like convention center type facilities that could host a group of our size in Colorado Springs. And there's really fun stuff to do in the surrounding areas. That being said, the Stanley Hotel would be way cooler. But that also being said, it's like super commie Democrat state.

It's going to be so fucking expensive there. Yeah, Colorado Springs is less communist, but it's also just as expensive as the rest of the state. We're going to have to charge like $700 a ticket. Maybe. Let's price it out and see what we'll figure out. Okay. Well, you work with Ms. Bright on that. Okay.

And so it can be your fault, not mine. I feel like I'm already in trouble. Susie already said that. Sal Bish, officially submitting my tampon brand name, Bad Blood. You're welcome. Amen. Salt. Done.

That's great. That is great. All we need, Cam, once you start getting that cotton, we will get it over to Drake. We'll get it formed. I got the fulfillment center, so we can definitely send out. You're crushed it already. Keith Higgins, hey, Zach, I know you think Brian Cole Jr. is innocent of planting the January 6 bombs. Do you think that he could be responsible for planting the stink bombs in KV Perry's Gucci?

Wait to give the one he sent to me. I don't even necessarily think that Brian Cole Jr. is innocent in the pipe bomb things. I'm just, I don't think that the government has presented evidence to prove one way or the other that he is or that he isn't. But I definitely think that Shawnee Kirkoff is an investigatory lead that needs to be actually investigated. All right. Rape Daddy 523, this can be a good outro video for you all. Let's see what that is. Oh, that's the video we already watched earlier.

Okay. So that doesn't work. Somebody else find us an outro video. And then Iowa Farm Girl says, look up Catherine Harridge giving Benny Johnson hell on X for stealing her content. I saw that. That was pretty great. That was awesome. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's about time. Yeah. Catherine Harage is not somebody that ever engages in, you know, social media influence or drama kind of stuff. The fact that she came out and did that, you know, pretty agree. There's a lot of Benny Johnson hate floating around.

Apparently, Ashley St. Clair is, like, going to come out with. a bunch of shit about how gay he is like literally that's right benny grinder johnson she called him she also posted a picture of her benny johnson and then some unnamed man who appears to have his hands on benny johnson in a familiar way wow yeah isn't he has old like doesn't he have old time plagiarism allegations that's why he was fired from buzzfeed 40 instances of 40 plagiarism and now it was buzz feed though yes you know i mean like it was anybody really like making that content at bus feed i mean i thought they were a rip-off farm that's what i always saw them is well nonetheless uh he's still at it

benny johnson busfeed has fired a viral politics editor benning johnson after finding more than 40 instances of plagiarism an apology to bus feed reader smith said the plagiarism is a breach of our fundamental responsibility and that editors were in the process of attaching an editor's note to every instance of plagiarism was back in 2014 that's almost 12 years ago learn many learn oh he's hoping people forget sync says i can't believe ashley st clair is still a thing and that was kind of my response who is that well Elon's baby mama this is the only way that she can regain any sort of relevance is by dishing tea on people dude has black man material on dude i love it i don't care i mean she's not relevant anymore but if she is the one to tear down the uh influencer network like that

i'm here for because guess what yeah they were the ones that were sucking her dick when she was with elon yeah like propping her up and then when elon like went through the whole drama they all like became fag and went against or not that i care i'm just like it she was that was a perfect scenario that outlined the the grift of those people yeah don't have any principles don't them give a shit about anything and if she's there to burn them down i think that'd be hysterical. Sleigh queen, sleigh. It's like it's a state that her dick is a female dick.

If I can recommend an expose to you guys, there's a girl called Nicole Arbor. She's on X. And I guess she's like an old time YouTuber. And like back when they were first trying to commercialize YouTube, somebody like recruited her to make a channel

because she was like a musician and a comedian and they were like, we'll put all this money behind you. And she was like, okay, cool. And, um, And then I guess that at some point she got into beef with jelly roll and his porn star wife, Bunny X-O. I'm not like a jelly roll fan and I've only seen him mentioned, but I guess that, you know, people really like him. I like jelly roll. I saw my immigrant podcast. It was great. You should watch this expose that Nicole Arbor put out.

And it's in three parts and it's really worth going through all of it because she's got receipts. And that's all I'm going to say. But I think it's worth watching. I'll check it. Yeah. Yeah, I've heard some interesting stuff about that guy. Recently, recently. I was a huge fan before.

Well, there was an article that I like went to go reference a couple of months ago. And it was like, you know, jelly roll and his wife Bunny are Epstein 2.0 or something like that. And then by the time I went to air, the episode had been completely scrubbed from internet and like that the episode that you just recommended we watch no no no no i'm saying even before i heard about this girl mccul arbor and her experience with you know this you know the them i had come across that article and i was like well that's interesting and and so i like bookmarked it and set it aside and then i went to go look at it and the article in every reference to it was removed from the internet um now you know so i

I don't know anything. I see Pammy say something about Ryan Upchurch. I don't know anything about Ryan Upchurch either, and I don't know anything about that situation. And, you know, here's the thing is that people may have issues with others that, you know, are unresolved and unnecessary. But it doesn't mean that problems can arise with other people, which totally have, you know, weight and importance behind them. So I am only looking at that particular situation and the sauce that was presented regarding it. I don't know anything about Nicole Arbor other than what I mentioned. And yeah, yeah. So, you know, I'm saying, you know, as a as a microcosm, that particular expose, I think, was worth watching.

Check it out. Thank you. Two more rants. Keith O'Higgins. Hey, Cam, if the rumors about black guys not eating at the Y, do you think? think Justin Trudeau wears blackface before bed to avoid eating Katie Stinky Poutine? Yes. Are they really together? Is that actually a thing?

They are a thing. Yes. And Katie Perry is being investigated for sexually assaulting Ruby Rose. And I went back and looked and back in 2019, there were two other claims of sexual assault against Katie Perry by both a man and a woman. It doesn't surprise me because I think Katie Perry is totally MK.K. Eldra, which means that likely she went through some type of psychosexual abuse herself, and people who are put through that tend

to engage in that behavior themselves. Benny Johnson deleted the post Catherine Harridge. Oh, did he? Okay. Wow. By the way, John, I put a... Probably good idea. I think in the chat for outro, if you want. It's white as kids

you know, a gallon of PCP. Yes. I love that day. you we'll do that next um last rant gfontas one one one nine was that any of you a badlands have exposed tucker carlson and making kelly being tied to red seat ventures and geo practically being funded by news corp that owns fox news and it's more than just them i've seen that i haven't dug into it much yeah but maybe i should do so anyway um thanks for tuning everybody make sure you guys tune tomorrow i'll be on the power hour with chris paul and sunday again america first stories and some gaming cam i know you got your show to

What do you got there? This is a gallon of PCP. Wow, a gallon. That's yeah. That's illegal, right? Yeah, it's a felony. It's a felony. Yes. Wow. And here you are with it anyway. That is, wow. I, uh, I didn't even know it came in liquid form. Science.

Whoa, so do you do a lot of PCP? Got a gallon. I guess you do. Wow, so what do you do? I work in an investment firm downtown. It's mostly property acquisitions. Ah, that sounds successful. What do you do?

I work at the Binkos. I don't know what Binko's is. It's an office supply store. store type thing. Secretary stuff? Eh, but a gallon. Yeah. Here you are with a gallon.

Wow. Man, do you still see Candice? No. She passed away. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. How long ago did that happen? About four, about four years ago.

No, PM. 4 PM. As in today, 4 PM. That is. It's five o'clock now. Yeah. So that was recent. What happened?

I was at my dealer's house. Uh-huh. I was buying the PCP. Of course. And I didn't have enough money for all of the gallon. Oh, it's expensive. But I wanted the whole gallon. Of course.

So I'd set up a deal where I would leave her as collateral. Uh-oh. And I would go hit an ATM and come right back. I see problems. But, you know, when I left, I got distracted. and he cut her head off. Whoa! Wow.

And that happened today. Just a little while ago. Man, are you okay? Are you doing all right? No, yeah, I'm good. I'm pretty high right now. Right, because of the PCP, which you have. Yeah.

Yes. Yeah. Man, you know, I ran into Bill the other day, and he's doing really good. I don't know, Bill. You don't? That's right. You wouldn't know, Bill.

But he's doing good. That's good? Yeah, it's good to see. Good for Bill. What was good to see you? It was just nice seeing you. I got to go. I got to pick my kids up.

I'm running late. Oh, you have kids. You are on your way to pick up children with your gallon thing. I don't want them to lose their heads. Oh, you left them with the guy, the PCP guy. No, no. They're at soccer practice. I'm late.

They spas. Oh, it was a joke. I get it. Well, good to see it. Nice seeing you. Okay. I'll tell Bill you said hi. I don't know him.

Oh, that's right. You don't. See you later.
