Badlands Media - OnlyLands Ep. 70: A 65 Billion Barrel Venezuela Deal & the Real Iran Endgame

Episode Date: August 29, 2026

Trump drops a genuinely wild Truth Social announcement mid show, a massive oil agreement handing the US majority control over more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan reserves, and the crew spends a good chunk of the night picking apart whether Maduro is really finished, whether this counts as regime change or just a really good deal, and why "it's not stealing if nobody stops you" somehow becomes the working theory. From there it connects into a sharper conversation about the Iran war's real effect on gas prices, oil refiners quietly dodging consequences, and whether the whole conflict has become a convenient narrative shield heading into the midterms. There's also some good natured ribbing about billionaires paying eighty grand for stem cell treatments in Switzerland, a Kirk Cousins football aside, and the usual sponsor detours. A dense, genuinely engaging night of geopolitics with the jokes still very much intact.

The Badlands, one of the Badlands, explain those Badlands. That's a hell of a name. What's up, Fags? How do we do this? Was that an accident? The sponsor is visible. I don't know, but you said, what's up, Fags? And then put yourself on the screen, so.

Exactly. Cell phone. I guess we can't. All right, there's our sponsor down there. Hmm. I guess when there's four. of us when somebody no shows. That's okay. There's no showing on us today.

There we go. That works. How about, okay. Getting closer. Yeah, we could, can we put something in the middle here? Turn us into squares and put us all across the middle. Yeah, I'm saying. No, no, no, like actual squares.

Oh, we're trying to do a commercial right now? This one? No, we're trying to. When you click on one of the frames and then hit edit and then click on each camera and you can change it from a rectangle to a square. I can change each one to a square. So on this one you can go and change it to a square. Dude, I'm getting nauseous. Oh, right here.

I'm moving its around to. Now I just full screened everybody. Alpha, tell them the section in the stream yard to go to. Oh, hold on. I got to open up another one so I can see. I mean, this is fine for now. This is fine for now. Anyway, guys, welcome to OnlyLands. Episode 70.

Things are going really well so far with me leading things off here. We're going to get to our sponsors in a minute, and we will figure out a way to display our sponsor at the bottom. But how's it going, guys? Oh, good, man. I've been prepping for a little fantasy football draft Sunday. How about you guys? I have not.

I haven't done that. I missed the boat on the like the keepers yeah I didn't know we were changing everything up because I've had that on silent I see that's that's uh it's not good idea to tune us out like that man you I was expecting you to keep a couple of those players did you did you have Jonathan Taylor who had Jonathan Taylor last year because somebody dropped the ball and dropped the thing is you can only keep someone that you drafted right yeah but like somebody like was it JB yeah he dropped he had jonathan well jb jbb is just now getting back into it i don't know if you guys saw his post he's coming back next week on monday so he's been tuning this out too he's a why didn't realize

i didn't know what the key first thing was so you get to keep the guys from last year that you drafted you if if you drafted them from the third round round on like first and second round draft picks are not eligible and then you give up a pick one round higher than you picked that player last year. Like for example, I had, like, I drafted Giovante Williams in the like 11th or 10th round or something. Like, I think 10th round. And he kind of kicked out. So I was like, okay, I want to keep him. And I only give up a ninth round draft bid to keep him. So not everybody has people that are even worth keeping. So, you know. I prefer to just kind of do the honorable thing and draft like a, like a great man. Yeah. Instead of, you know, trying to play these games, these fiat games.

everybody else is playing from previous seasons and all that. It's a new year. I'm just playing by, I'm playing in their battlefield, man. I'm just playing by their rules. I don't know what it is this year. As a Patriots fan with the big resurgence we had last year, I feel like I should be really excited about football

and I do like football, but I am just not even a little bit excited, and I don't know what it is. I just, I'm not into it this year. It's hard to get yourself up for some that you know is super gay like the the sport itself is not gay but the way the NFL does it is gay I don't even I'm not even like mad at anything right now in terms of politically you know a few years ago it was yeah it was it was hard but I'm fired up about football what's your team isn't

that the Niners San Francisco 49ers they're out here banging hookers their owners banging hookers dude you know how many people from my own audience were sending me that show I'm like y'all are wrong it guys are wrong it's okay if your guys doing it no so what i was waiting for i was like this you know this is bad but the lady boy part's going to come out later like they're going to find out that the prostitute was a lady boy oh yeah was like waiting was it john pointed out on wednesday night the uh us s is it the uss abraham lincoln is getting uh they're doing a little a little pit stop in thailand on the way home So his speculation on Wednesday night was maybe this is a little bit of a humiliation ritual on whichever good old sailor boys were leaking to the press and making up stories about how bad everything was.

Be like, why don't you go bang some male hookers on your way home? Why don't you take the long way home? We've got a special bar for you. Just pick up on any of the girls in there and help yourself. Say, I think the reason I think the reason I'm not excited is an odd one. The last like post Brady the Patriots have been bad. There's no secret about that But they always get you to buy into the hope right we drafted Mac Jones. It's like oh like that's exciting and then it was terrible for two years Cam Newton thing didn't work out then we draft Drake May and it's like oh all right let's see let's get excited and then of course overperformed

To the moon but then I feel like I feel like if we had gotten to the playoffs and like one one round and then lost some kind of competitive game. I'd be really excited, but it's tough when the first year you overperform so much and then get completely smoked in the Super Bowl, you're like, so how do I judge this coming season? Like, we probably shouldn't have been in the Super Bowl, but we were there and got absolutely destroyed. So what is the bar? I think a lot of people in New England right now are like, we don't expect to be back in the Super Bowl, but we're technically better on paper. than last year and we'll see if we have like the easiest run through the playoffs ever again. Yeah, that's a it's it's like you're sort of the victim of your own success.

Like you got you got further along than you expected and now it's like, well, okay, well, there's only one run higher than that and that's winning the Super Bowl. So like that's got to be your expectation. Now as a Raider fan, I expect it every year and it never happens. And then I'm not really disappointed, but I do like. like the preseason and the off season because the off season, like the draft is like where I have hope. Hope, you know, oh, look at all these pit,

look at all this young talent we have now. Things are gonna be better this year. And then the preseason starts and they get on the field and all that hope is dashed like in an instant. Or maybe they even look good in the preseason, but then first game of the year, it's like, oh no, it's just more of the same. And I just, I mean, you guys,

I love the beating dude. You guys are the first time I've seen an elite, like very famous player get traded catastrophically and then they declined it afterwards. They're like, no, man, like you got to take this back. Yeah, take your broken goods. So you burned all the goodwill. Like the team dynamics are destroyed. Yeah, the captain of our team.

Yeah, captain of our team was technically a raven for like a week until they're like, we're like, we didn't want you at all, but we literally have to play you now. and this is the worst now you're so yeah it should be good it's hey you got some Hispanic kid now as quarterback right is he gonna yeah which which should play well with our our Hispanic a very very Hispanic uh who's your quarterback Fernando Mendoza but he's not gonna he's not gonna be Kurt cousins bro it's gonna be Kurt cousins your quarterback is I've sat here long enough listening to you as an out hold on as an Atlanta Hawkins fan as a fan of a terrible fan that's never won anything and gotten to the to the mountain top she got j j j just be appreciative of

the games that really matter when you get wins that's all that matters all the other stuff stop spending all your time worrying about the draft just going to let you down until they prove it on the field they're going to let oh i know for a fact after 20 something years of the same rug that i get on and and and have it completely yank from under me i know what to expect now it's to expect like them to to maybe win three or four games yeah and the end of this behave yeah yeah behave by about mid-october i'm basically rooting for them to lose the rest of their games so we can have three or four games it just see it's it's typical of my time i know you didn't you've never heard of this good this is what this is the new quarterback

of the uh raider yeah yeah yes it works bernando montoya or whatever the hell is All right, let's thank a couple sponsors. Then we'll get into whatever we're getting into. Yep, which should be strange. That's all I'm here for. All right. Let's continue to be as smooth as I can possibly be. We are first brought to you by our friends at Alp.

Now you have to do it. Okay, because I'm going to be in trouble for that. Yeah. So about BB by doing that. I need you guys to go to try cacao bliss.com slash badlands and get some cacao. It is it is genuinely good shit. I've been drinking it for a month now. I like it. I was giggling because I made myself giggle and also I just the swerve, you know,

like we started just with the usual cacao stuff and then we went to billionaire stem cells Switzerland. and I was shocked. I was shocked while reading it. I didn't know where we were going. And I just had to orient myself a little bit. Because here I thought I was just drinking some cacao, but I was actually like hooking up a blood bag of Switzerland stem cells. And whatever, that's why I feel so good, I guess.

That's what the billionaires are doing. How do you guys feel about cacao? And everything just happened. I don't have any cacao, but I don't have any cacao. I'm over 50 and I was kind of thinking maybe I should get some pical because it sounded pretty convincing. Even with your read, it was convincing and I would like to try some. I mean, your only other alternative to feel the way I feel right now, Jay, is to have $80,000 and go to Switzerland.

Yeah, yeah. So I would assume you have to know people. You can't just show up like with a bag of cash. They'll be like, I know what that guy wants. Obviously, he wants the Swiss cacao. Absolutely. With that 80 grand in your, uh, do they do you do euros right there in Switzerland, right? I think they use everybody's money.

Yeah. It's kind of you can bring any kind of denomination whatsoever. Scott Besson has to sign off on it. But besides that. But you also, B.B. But you also. But real quick, B.B. Somebody, uh, people in the chat were saying your volume's a little low.

That's been saying that for weeks. I don't understand it. None of it makes sense. I sound normal to you guys, right? Yeah, it sounds fine to me, but Jackie told me and then I saw a few people in the chat. I think he happy was well. All right, chat. Does this sound better? That's better.

That actually does sound better though. That's definitely better. Does it sound way too loud? No. It's like smoother. Sounds normal. Yeah, you sound like a late night radio host. All right, let's get into some bullshit.

I mean, we can talk about random bullshit, but I figure we can talk about something actual that, It's going on right now, and that is the latest on the definitely real and not fake regime change operation in Venezuela that everybody forgot about. And we have an update on that from Donald Trump himself tonight. Breaking news, the United States of America has just entered into an agreement with the country of Venezuela on the biggest oil deal in world history. At my direction, Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegg, Seth, working closely. with highly respected interim president of Venezuela, Delci Rod Rieges, and through a partnership with private business, have secured a majority U.S. control of more than 65 billion barrels

of proven oil reserves in Venezuela at no cost to the American taxpayer. This historic transaction more than doubles American oil reserves greatly increases our oil supply and will substantially lower gas prices for all Americans long into the future, while helping to continue to set Venezuela on a course toward tremendous success and great prosperity. This transaction will greatly strengthen the already growing relationship between Venezuela and the United States.

Thank you for your attention to this groundbreaking matter. Oh, look what he did there. You guys get it. Groundbreaking matter. What do you guys think? Did we just steal 65 billion barrels of oil from Venezuela? No. How do we get those without taxpayer money?

That's what I'm doing. Grand theft auto Trump. No, it's not stealing. There's a difference. So stealing, think about it. When you steal something, the cops come after you, right? They don't come after us, Cam. Yeah. Okay, sorry. What are you talking about? Guys, I understand this. But no, when you steal something, there's consequences for it. You take it and there's no consequences. That's not stealing, bro. That's yours. Why did it take me so long to get what that was about right? He's used to it, man. He knows immediately what I'm doing. He just, he's numb to it now. I should have caught that one out of the gate.

That was so good. It was good, man. We say, excuse me, officer. He went that way. It's like racist jokes just roll out where and writes, lips. And we do that stupid, like, just Boston Irish thing where we just smile at you until you react. Like, I swear the black guys in Boston just like, they used to make them really upset. And now they're just like, God damn it.

Well, you stop. You wore them down, man. It was so funny that they're just like, I can't be maddie anymore. It was so genuine. Right. Yeah, I mean, we could talk about this bicameraly. We could talk about this through the lens of we're stealing the oil. And in that case, it's like, okay, fine.

Well, yeah, I just like didn't quite understand. You guys have better insight on how we're getting this 65 billion? Is it like staying in Venezuela, but like it's part of our reason? or is it like barrels being shipped over here like on American oil tankers or what like what's the actual of it do you think well I don't think this has been I don't think this is like detailed out there yet I think it's just announcing but I can project my my view on this is first of all I think the interim president nod is hilarious because and I know technically interim president is a term but I just think of

Trumpomania and, you know, the pro wrestling of it all. And, you know, we call them interim champions in the fight world. And, you know, Ghost was on top of this from the beginning. And a lot of us were calling this a fake regime change. And that one of the major signals of the fake regime change would be that if Delsey Rodriguez was still leading the country, which is what we have, right? But on the oil front, I think what he's saying and why this isn't stealing is, you know, This is a projection of how many barrels of oil are supposed to come out of there and be accessible there. The reading I've done on it months ago suggests that basically American oil refiners are most primed, most capable of accessing the Venezuelan crude.

Because even though Venezuelan crude, I think, is the most plentiful in the world or most we're told it's like the most abundant in the world. it is also among the most difficult to refine and difficult to get into because of just the landscape or, you know, whatever quality of crude it is, and that the American refiners are, you know, the ones who are the best of doing this. I would guess the reason he's saying there's no cost of American tax payers is this is essentially going to be an American, like a contract gig where that shit's going to get carved up. And ExxonMobil, you get this piece. You know, BP, you get this piece. And these are going to be government subsidized contracts for private contractors. So it's going to be entirely private industry that's going to be footing the bill for this. And, you know, in exchange for them paying for this entire operation with private money, they get access to Venezuela.

The irony of this is that I've been saying since January, remember when Trump had all these oil execs in the White House for that lunch that felt like a bit of a humiliation ritual. And they were telling them, and I believe it was ExxonMobil, the CEO there was complaining about how many billions they were losing by getting denied access to Venezuela. And Trump just didn't care. He was basically like raking the guys over the coals and making fun of them. To me, this is like a shut up. We're giving you access back to Venezuela, but you're not. not getting anything out of the American people. You're not getting any government subsidies

out of this. So he sort of cut off one part of their gravy train, but he's turning on a different one and I think setting the terms, you know, for us rather than for the private industry. Okay. But that's just a theory. What you think? There's a there's a guy. His first name's Tom. I'll try to get them on for my space in the next week or two to do. Yeah, from the virtual town halls and he's easy he's an OG though man. He's he's he's a guy. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, He's like an old school, like generational, like Texas, like oil guy. Like that's his thing. And he was breaking it down.

Touched on some of the things that you were talking about. Now, it's all through the lens of like the normie surface, like the way working the business. But he did just, it was just to try to restate what he said. I would just jack it all up. But the ultimate summary that I got from it was that it's definitely going to be something that benefits America, obviously. But it's also going to benefit the people of Venice,

But it's also supposed to open up the pathway for like what you're seeing a lot of these private corporations. But it's supposed to show like, hey, look at how much money everybody can make going through this process to want to make it a process that's adopted in other places as well. Because everybody's like it's going to be one of those situations where literally everybody wins. Yeah. So that's what's going to be coming out of it. But like I said, he articulated it for like an hour. And it was just it was genius. Like it was easy to track.

That is, there's no way I can repeat it. Well, to your point, Alpha, I think this is one of those rare, a lot of things that Trump is doing in 2026. This is maybe the first one that's almost like completing its arc, right? Like the Venezuela story arc started in January. And this seems like the end state of what the mission was for. Now, it hasn't ended yet. But like this looks like the ending of that story arc. This was the mission.

And now the funny thing about this kind of stuff is that we don't, we, we, we, we, we, choose to analyze this through the lens of fifth generation warfare you know i think a lot of this stuff was planned in advance i think he probably needed some coordination with venezuela not that the united states is not capable of going in there and taking this stuff but to think that we did it like this easily uh i think is a little silly because i think some previous administrations would have maybe tried to do this a little bit more easily and the reason they didn't is because they were in bed with the oil cartel that already had control down there, including of the government down there. But to your point, Alpha, the normies, even the expert normies, they're just going to have to

analyze it based on the terms of the deal they're being told. And to your point, it is going to start to be an indefensible win on economic levels. You know, right now you're seeing the memes of like Dune memes of Trump and everything. And it's like, that's fine. But it doesn't, we've entered a new paradigm even to Normaville where Trump he doesn't care anymore in terms of how he's being perceived. He's like, yep, we took it. And within a year, you're going to shut the fuck up because your gas prices are going to be down. And to your point, Alpha, I think even the people that are like really squeaky wheels about it and like, oh, this is so wrong for the people of Venezuela. The real coup de grace on the narrative is going to be when the Venezuelan people are benefiting from this deal. of a sudden a place that everyone knows right left and in between that Venezuela's like been

the poster child of corruption and poverty and inflation, they're going to have a rising middle class and everything's going to get cleaned up El Salvador style. Crime's going to go down. The cartels are going to be gone. Oil's going to be flowing. And it's just like those same people are then going to have to say, man, it's so horrible what Donald Trump did to Venezuela. Well, the other question is going to be at the time is, how did this country become so prosperous with a very little minute regime change? Like, like you're telling me, you just, you just, you took out the leader and you still kept these people, but yet all these good things develop. Then people are going to start to, you know, wonder what was really going on? What, what really changed these people in this economy to make it the nation that it was?

Yeah. Yeah. And the thing is it's not like that long ago that Venezuela was the most prosperous country in South America. I mean, in my lifetime, I watched it go from the most prosperous country in South America to they're literally eating their zoo animals and stuff, you know, and their pets. And because they're so poverty stricken. So for a lot of people, you know, a lot of older people, they're going to see it return to that prosperous country. And there's just going to be, you know, denying the contrast is going to be so great. And to your point, Bibi, it's like with the same government, essentially, right?

Literally all the same people except for for one Maduro. And, you know, I don't know how much on other shows you guys have been talking about this, but the, you know, obviously months ago. But some of the stuff that that I think is funny in the interim is that we obviously projected that this is fake and that's a matter of opinion. Like the only way to rationalize it not being a pre-plan. and coordinated regime change op with Maduro. The only way all the Ocent guys have been able to like tangle themselves in knots about

this is to say that it was a coup by Delsey Rodriguez on Maduro. And like she betrayed Maduro and is signing all these deals with Trump and he's controlling or et cetera. It's possible. I just personally think that actually takes more leaps. But let's let's take that. Let's take that and say that that's the case. Well, do you see sneakily?

What was it two months ago? I think it was back in May. Delcy Rodriguez sued the United States Department of Justice for the right to defend Nicholas Maduro in court. And it was granted. So it's like these are some of those, these goes to things ghost has been talking about for a long time about Maduro being a cooperating witness at the very least, going back a long time against the cartels down in Venezuela.

But it's why I shit on the open source like Twitter guys so much because they just they can't they think that they're being taken more seriously by not calling it a fake regime change. But by calling it a real regime change, they have to then reconcile all these things that happen afterwards that do not fit that model at all. It's like, okay, guys, why is Delci Rodriguez suing the Trump administration then? And why is he still saying that it's totally fine? And, you know, like, she did an interview a month ago or a public address saying, like, this is still Maduro's country. So it's just none of this matches up to what all the OSYN guys say. It's like, obviously, there was something else going on here. And I think it's about as cliche as it is in this audience sometimes to be talking about the global cartel.

It's the cartels, right? Like, who's getting kicked out of there? The literal cartels? the kinetic cartels and the oil cartels. And now it almost looks like Trump is reopening business to the oil cartel, but the terms are you pay for it all and the proceeds go to the American people in the form of lower energy prices and the Venezuelan people in terms of profits because Trump is endorsing a sovereign wealth fund for Venezuela on the back of this. So it's basically, going to be a U.S. sponsored Venezuela sovereign wealth fund, which is a pretty crazy model to set.

Yeah. What's fascinating to me is that I feel like with one move, removing Maduro, they kicked out the globalist regime from Venezuela. And I feel like to go to Jay's point from earlier, I feel like the land that we've taken over and we're basically giving back or selling to the oil companies, whatever um i feel like it was disputed land excuse me disputed land because um it was run by the regimes they didn't they didn't own that land so as soon as that land is freed up somebody has to take control of it we we we secure it we own it we secure it and then we sell it out to other people lease it out to other people to use so i think that's how how we got stake of that land that makes sense like it was it was it was disputed land at the time yeah and this it's going to be interesting too

to see like the response from the Venezuelan people, especially as this moves forward, even some of them that have been sci-opt, which is plenty of them. I always thought it was silly when people would be like, you know how I know Maduro was bad? The Venezuelan people think he's bad. And it's like, ah, hello. Have you been in the U.S. before? Do you understand how these things work? Like, color revolutions work from the inside out.

They start with the local population and turn them against the leadership. And, you know, the humiliation ritual that Maria Carina Machado is still going through. It's hilarious. And that was controversial when I wrote that in January. And we were talking about it saying like, she's the bad guy. She's been the bad guy the whole time. And then we had the State Department. What did they say?

There was an Axios headline where they called her, they said she was like abhorrent or something a couple of months ago. I'll have to find it. But, uh, yeah, but at the time when you wrote that, B, B, it was like everybody was like, oh, for sure that, you know, we're going to install her as our, as our puppet. And, you know, if you, if you had a cynical look at her, or it was just she's, she's the era parent. She's the women of the people. And like, you know, you, you definitely called that big time. And it was not definitely, definitely not a popular take. Definitely not one that people thought was realistic. I mean, yeah. And I, I think Chris, I'm not sure if he called hers, but I think he did.

But I mean, these are these are these templates. Chris and Ghost in particular and me have been really tracking internationally just because we look at that stuff, you know, just as much, if not more than domestically. But she's one of, you know, my favorite indicators, as I always call them, a reverse indicators. So I always like to look at what is the regime doing in a given place and what is the regime saying. And so this was the headline. When is this from?

This is from July 1st. Trump admin blast Machado's quote, grotesque political opportunism after Venezuela quakes. So this is the woman that we were being waterboarded over saying was the bad guy when people were saying that obviously Trump was going to install her and she's the populist and she's the hero of the people while ignoring all the reverse indicators like her being funded by all the American NGOs that Trump was targeting, her winning the Nobel Peace Prize that she then tried to. submit to Trump after that whole thing. Remember her escape? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, but that's actually another good one where we get shit on for it,

where it's like she has a picture at the White House with Donald Trump with a Nobel Peace Prize where she offers it to him, right? And then you see this a lot, alpha because you're in the Q sphere. You know, your commentary is in the Q sphere. A lot of those people look at a picture of somebody with Donald Trump. And when that picture lands, ah, here we go. Secret White Hat, Maria Carina Machado. Whereas Ghost was pointing out, she wasn't even scheduled for a visit. She had to enter through a civilian entrance.

And like what that photo op was, was her and her handlers attempting to associate themselves with Donald Trump. And it's like, it's so crazy that, like, you guys don't think that for the people that think having a photo with Donald Trump means you're a secret white hat. You don't think that like the bad guys know that you think that and are going to use that to their advantage. But that was another thing. Like we're looking at that the week had happened and going, wow, the humiliation of Machado continues while a whole other segment of the truth community is like, oh, this was coordinated from the start. And Machado and Trump have been working together on this whole thing. It even happens at the very low level. How many influencers out there think by presenting a picture at Mar-a-Lago, that instant cred to be in an op when the reality is, is if you're actually at a legit meeting, a legit op, that shit ain't ever going to make a photo off.

That'll never happen. Presenting a photo is, that's the fastest way of showing that you weren't part of anything that was significant. Tramp often says that too. He'll say, like, he'll deny even knowing somebody. And they'll say, well, you have a picture with these. You know how many pictures I take with people? And it's sometimes it's a kind of a high level person that's done something like really, you know, underhanded in his administration. Like, I don't even know who that is.

Well, he's been playing that game with Maloney in Italy recently. He's like she's obsessed with me. She's just stringing her along. He's that guy. He's that guy in high school that like that real cool kid in high school that like this girl's pretty attractive. You know, she's, she's really into him. And he just keeps tugging her along, you know, never really like making a move, but just giving her hope and then just being like, yeah, this girl is obsessed with me. Yeah, ghost ghost reading.

And this is where like, hey, we don't know, right? We don't know any of these people just like Maduro have obviously got my leanings. But like we don't know what these people's intentions are. Maloney is one that ghost is definitely on the, this is K-fabe. She's a nationalist and this is good for her that Trump is doing this, which I can totally, like, like, I can see what he's saying because we talk about narrative shielding and she's being presented as this anti-Trump nationalist in Italy right now. But the opposite framing could also very easily apply to somebody like Maloney as, you know, some of these nations, it seems to me,

obviously have pivoted with how long the Trump era is going on, like how long he has seized control of the global mind. And I think a lot of these world governments are recognizing the Orange Man bad template just isn't really playing very well as their countries fall apart. So some of them are not really joining Trump, but they're putting up like, do we have somebody who can kind of do Trump stuff and say Trump stuff? And then when they get in there, not do anything like that. And you know, you could easily argue that Maloney has been doing that. Like she's talking the Trump talk and yet the Trump walk is maybe not happening. I don't know.

I don't do a lot of reading on Italy. Go last one of us. Does anybody have a MAGA hat in the building? Like someone come over here. Yeah. Put a MAGA hat because we've got to do a sound bite. You know, the other thing too is, you know, and I get it. You know, some stuff could be K-Fabe.

The other thing, too, some stuff could be people thinking that they're just going to wait out Trump and wait this administration out. And they're going to give some. And the other part of it is for some people, it could be self-preservation. Maybe they were bad. Trump presented them with an offer. Said, hey, this is the way this is going to play out or here are your options. You know, so I don't think it's necessarily who's good and who's bad.

You know, maybe we'll figure out some. I don't think we'll probably figure out most ever. I think what's the end result that comes from whatever conversation or relationship they have in the present? Yeah. I would agree with that. I think it's tough. It's tough sometimes because if you think, for example, whether we're talking about a leader, politician, or an influencer in our sphere, if we think we know that person's intentions based on whether it's public or private information, and then we see them saying stuff publicly that is otherwise good, it puts you in a weird position, right? Because you're like, if you truly believe the person is subversive, but you're like, well, this, what this thing? thing they're saying is inarguable and I think is good, but I don't really want to promote them. I'll give you a great example of one that I struggle with.

And we've even had some conversations privately, Mike Benz. You know, I've gone into the actual legwork of looking into his past and his self-admissions for, I mean, there's a lot that's supported by people firsthand knowledge of what they experience, but his self-admissions. and his self-ad admissions were part of, you know, fame game running an op on MAGA during a specific window, right? But if you look at just that, which is something that I weigh heavy,

it's like, how can you trust this dude when he's ran these siops? But then you can look at the work that he's doing right now and the information that he's bringing to the surface. It's critically important that people see the stuff that he's talking about because it's super important. So it's just one of those things that Mike Ben, you baffle me you know but and it goes down to the same argument that I made was he

always a bad guy or was he a bad guy playing you know a good guy playing a role at the end of the day this is kind of what I what I tell my audience is because we don't know anything leading up into this phase of what the operation that we're in then look at what people's works are now like judge the work now because if we believe that we're approaching like the end or at least the final phases of all that stuff, then I would think this is where we're going to see people start to do what they were really intended to do. And for some of that stuff is going to be hard because there's some people that we love to hate and there's some people, it's just going to be hard.

Yeah. Well, there's some easy examples right now. And what I say right now, I mean like the whole year, maybe going back to 2025, this second term, some really easy examples that pop to mind or come to mind is like Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor Green, Rand Paul, like that kind of brigade, Tucker Carlson on the media side. You know, like if you swapped out Donald Trump with like build a president in a video game, but he was otherwise saying all the stuff that Trump has said, word for word, the entire second term. And if you swapped out all of those characters I just named with like Congressman X, Y,

and Z and then media personality, you know, W. And you just look at what they're saying. It's what's kind of funny because there's a lot of MAGA people in truthers, including us sometimes, who are like shitting all over Thomas Mastey or shitting all over MTG or Tucker Carlson or whatever it is because they're opposing Trump. And yet it's because we're coming at it through the lens of fifth generation warfare and saying like we think that Trump is running sciops and is is engaged in fifth gen warfare. But the irony is that if you were actually just analyzing it on a surface level face value,

a lot of their stances against Trump are inarguable, you know, where it's like months ago, or at least from some people's perspectives, like if you believe at the very beginning of the Iran op that we were actually just like boots on the ground, we're going to do whatever it takes, We're going to glass the desert, like Bush 2.0. And then you've got, you know, Tucker Carlson and these people being like, we don't want this. And you, I can pull up 10 clips of Donald Trump saying, we're never going to do this. Only Joe Biden would do this. This is bad.

That's why it's discombobulating. And I think that's why it's the perfect word he's chosen to use this year because it's like Trump is in some ways and Ghost talks about this a lot. Chris talks about it a lot. like Trump seems to be playing the villain in many respects narratively, even to some of his own base. I even mentioned as an anecdote on Wednesday night, I have a good friend of mine. Like I grew up with him. We used to train together. Lifelong Christian. He was always a Republican, but he woke up to the fact that he was retarded about the Bush era, just like I was retarded about

the Obama era. But he was a big Trump guy, and he bought it into Trump like 2015 right of away against the Republican establishment. He actually was on the queue drops right away. He ultimately thought they were bullshit, but like he, he was digging into all that stuff. He's been with Trump, like through the first term, through the Biden term, and was pumped about this term. And the other night, I sent, I sent some message over some video about the sovereign alliance, uh, concept. And he was just like, yeah, man, I'm glad you're optimistic, but like, I just can't, I just can't get on board with anything. Trump has done in 2026.

And I've never, 10 years of Trump, I've never heard this guy. He would be the guy that'd be like, you're a pussy if you start questioning Trump. And the other day, he was just like, nah, like we lost. It's all the same racket. Yeah, I don't think that that's, I don't think that's true. I'm just saying, he'll come back. Sometimes we are in such a bubble that we're like, no, no, no, real MAGA people understand what Trump is doing.

And it's like, that is not the case. Yeah, I just, baby, I just had dinner. with a buddy of mine who's big big time conservative but very normie and you know but he listens to what i say and everything and he's just you know so into trump and everything going to dinner and he just starts railing well he's he's talking about that it was it gregg bovino that guy that was on with tucker and he's god-mouting you know the operation that's going on down at the border and this and that my friend's just going off and he's like so disappointed in trump because he's expected mass deportations and they haven't happened and this and that and

And, you know, and I'm sitting there arguing with him and I'm realized, I'm like, this is kind of catching me off guard. I've never heard him say anything bad about Trump. And now he's just like saying he's a complete failure because his biggest issue is illegal immigration and he hasn't deported every single one of them yet. And he's like, I want to see like, you know, just barges full of people being shipped back. And I said, well, maybe you will see that. You don't give the guy a chance. Only a year and a half into his his term here, could you at least wait till the end of his term before you call him a failure and nagging on his promises? And he's like, he was just so despondent.

And I'm like, wow, that's, that's kind of what's going on right now. But I think it's intentional. I do think that I do think that this, you know, controlled opposition or whatever you want to call it, that I think Trump knows exactly who everybody is and everybody's playing a role, whether they know it or not. I still think he's controlling the chessboard. And I'm not, I'm not down at all about any of it because I think I have a different view. But I'm seeing the normie conservatives getting really down about a lot of stuff. stuff now. Yeah. You're going to say some alpha. Yeah. Go ahead. No, Alpha, you go ahead.

No, I lost my thought. It'll come. It'll come back. I got you. So I was going to say that I feel like mainstream MAGA as, shit, now I lost my turn of thought. I have a story very similar to J-Tritz, you know, with my cousin, you know, smart guy, you know, super religious. And he was kind of like, you know, It's the family football league, fantasy football league is what kind of generated the conversation. And so he goes, so you're still behind Trump? I said, yeah, why not? And he goes, well, what do you think about this? So he started going off into things. And I just let him, I just let him talk because I wanted to kind of get where he was coming from, you know, where his position was.

And so then I just introduced some thoughts for him. And he's just like, you know, I considered that. But I just don't know. And I think that, you know, when you guys come across people like that, ask them, you know, who they listen to, what do they watch or what do they read. And that has a lot to do with, with, you know, their perspective on how they see things. You know, it's hard to go and diversify where your sources are when you go to listen to something because there's just, we want to just, you know, humans want to just listen to something that makes us feel better, you know, that just that resonates with us. But you got to kind of hear something outside the box because that's where you're going to find out if you're wrong on something or if there's, you know, more to it. And it's one of the things that I like about balance.

We definitely have some different perspectives. Yeah. But here's one thing that I would say, you know, to people in the chat, because I'm sure there's people in the chat that that fall into that group where I'm disappointed with Trump is, is compare some of the accomplishments or compare all the accomplishments that he's had. The big ones and the little ones from, you know, the day of the. his inauguration to now. And, and, like, actually write them out. And what you're going to find out is you're going to start getting tired, writing that out.

And you're going to find yourself beyond one page. And you're going to be like, okay, there's a lot here. I may not know what all these translate into or what's the long-term effects, but the man has actually done a lot of things. And then go compare that to a president that you absolutely like or that, that there's a bipartisan agreement that that was a good president. And compare their accomplishments in the, entire four years or eight years and you'll walk away with being like holy shit Trump actually has

done a lot and and I think that's important especially you know he's working with the government that doesn't want him to do what we want that's a big deal too yeah I remember my point and it piggybacks with this perfect I feel like mainstream MAGA and it's mostly the the media but the people that get caught up on it they are and I'll use BB's term I feel like they're moving the Overton's goalposts on Trump's accomplishments, like what they expect from Trump, what they want from Trump. Because he's getting fought on every angle. He's been getting fought since 2015. And he keeps accomplishing things. And they keep moving the goalpost. It keeps saying, we need more. We need more. I mean, he just named the lake, the Gulf of America. He just got oil. It's Lake America.

It's not Lake of America. He specifically said there's no of in his video. Oh, my bad. My bad. America continue. Continue. Yeah, he corrected me too. No. So yeah, I feel like mainstream, mainstream MAGA, it's an op. It is an op. But that's the goal is to demoralize. And that's something Alpha's talked about is they're trying to demoralize the main, not mainstream, but the people that are just watching the surface, they're trying to demoralize them. And it goes to another thought I had, which is the surface level is the movie. So people say, we're watching a movie. You're watching the surface level. That's the movie. Yes, it's a movie. It's fake. It's a

production there's value to it but it's still fake the real stuff is happening behind the scenes it's the creation of the film it's the producers getting the film together it's people fighting to get the the finances to tell the story so that's all real action and that's what we're in at badlands the audience everybody that's in this info war in the 5g war you're in the production stage of the film that's being created and we're fighting to see whose storyline gets told it's a good point am about the go ahead bb i'm sorry well i was going to have make a I'm kind of going to go into a rabbit trail but that this prompts and one of them I mean to your point demoralization that word you just used cam that's absolutely what it was and I what it is

I think what we're all expressing with anecdotes is that the demoralization attempts against Trump have been there since 2015 right yeah but they are working in a way I have not seen them work on MAGA. And I think that's what we're expressing, right? It's like, my buddy has seen all the demoralization ops against Trump. And he was like, gay, pussies, you, bitch. Like, he literally, I can show you guys pictures of him. Like, literally he goes to every cookout.

For 10 years, he has gone to every cookout, we do, knowing like there's Canadians there, there's my family, there's his family. Who care? He doesn't care. He wears a big Trump shirt, big white trump shirt. big white Trump shirt with Trump's face on it and an American flag bandana. That's this guy. And he's a fighter. So it's just like, that guy is done. And when he's done, the good thing about it is he's not like, you know, I'm really into Tucker Carlson and I'd really like to see Marco Rubio get a shot. Like that's not the kind of done he is. He's just done in a way that he's like, F them. F the politicians, whatever. Maybe he tried. Maybe he didn't. But it's just how this. system works. But so the demoralization, that's the narrative demoralization. But the guy, when I bring

out my buddy as an example, maybe it's the same for Alpha's cousin, maybe the guy that you are mentioning, Jay, guys who were like were right or die Trumpers. I don't think narrative demoralization works on Trumpers. But his second term, 2026 in particular, I really think that they've had some actual demoralization operations. And the examples of this would be one of the things I point out on Wednesday nights a lot. And you guys know I've written 100,000 words on the Iran war and how Trump's a master with what I think he's doing. But when Trump puts out true social posts saying the stock market is all time high, stop being a pussy. And like my buddy works in the diesel industry. And it's just like, it is catastrophic right now. Like for, so when he, when he's a Trump guy and he sees like true social

posts saying everything is good and he's like, but it isn't. And when a lot of people go to the grocery store and they're like, that's the biggest thing. Honestly, and John was saying this on DPH four years ago, you could talk about immigrants and whatever. The honest truth is most people in their day-to-day lives don't give a shit. They don't like, the illegals are not in their face. I know they're affecting the economy, but I mean, like, it's not really what most people deal with. What they deal with is,

I just went to the grocery store and got, like, three dinners worth of meals this week, and it cost $270. And, like, my gas costs me $30 to fill the tank 18 months ago. and now it's 55. And that whole rant is not me saying Trump is toned up or Trump's an idiot. I think personally this is why Trump is signal boosting his opposition or his threats to

American oil companies, American manufacturers, American tech companies. Because I think, to your point about Alpha earlier, I call that hibernation theory. They thought they could wait Trump out. The Americans thought they could wait Trump out. And I think what they've done in 2025 and 26 is the story of the Trump trade war and the story of the Iran war, I think has given them shielding to gouge Americans. And Trump is like telling us this, right? Everyone's like, oh, oil is expensive because of the Iran war. Then we get a story two days ago.

It's like what, the sixth story in the last six months that tankers have been going through the straight the entire time. Thousands, thousands of tankers. Thousands of tankers are going through the straight. There's a shadow fleet that's been going through the straight the entire time. We're even being told that Middle Eastern oil productions is at two thirds of its capacity from six months ago right now. And then Trump's on true social threatening the American energy companies. And I think what he's saying there and what's working its way into these Americans who are genuinely dooming on Trump is he's saying nothing is wrong with the oil supply. Your oil companies are trying

to destabilize my presidency by gouging you at the pump and they have no reason to do so. Like they are literally just elevating the prices based on nothing, based on future projections. And I think you can play that along all these different rails right when he announces a trade war, American products shouldn't be going up in price as a result of the trade war. That's manufacturers pay that. Foreign manufacturers. But American manufacturers, American, rather American retail, decided that this gave them the perfect narrative to raise prices by 20%. So I think there's an actual demoralization op going on. And they're pulling out all the stops. Mark Carney in Canada is the latest where like he's playing a game of chick.

And it looks to me like, they know they've got, they're on a timeline. And they've like, they, everybody's taking their turn, taking a shot at Trump. They're like, dude, what can you do, Canada? And they're like, I mean, I guess we could destroy our entire economy. But like, it'll, it'll hurt Trump for two months before the midterms. So it's like all, all the stops are being pulled out. And what I'm hoping is that there is real consequences for all this shit. And like people talk about tribunals for foreign enemies and stuff.

I want to see some tribunals where American oil execs get pulled up in front of all their Republican supporters and say like, hey, so what did you do back in March when Trump started this Iran conflict? And why did you do it? And who was paying you to do it? But that's my conspiracy theory. Yeah. And I think you're spot on. I think it's also an exposure up on Trump's part. because I think this has been going on forever.

Every time there's any conflict in the Middle East, our gas prices go up. And they don't ever go back down to the level they were before whatever said conflict, you know, happened. So I think Trump is pointing it out. I think he knew exactly what they were going to do. And of course, they've done everything they can to get him out of office, to get him out of power.

They've tried to kill him. They've tried to use lawfare, everything else. And now they're basically shooting themselves in the foot. But just like you said, Bibi, like Canada, you're going to destroy your own economy just to score a couple of points against Trump. That's how desperate they become. So I think it's it's a matter of Americans accepting that we've been getting screwed by these companies every chance they get. I mean, in California, we know. I mean, Alpha, you and I know, I mean, it's like, you know, they're always, the politicians here are always crying.

about like what Trump did to start this war has raised our gas prices over $6 a gallon. But a dollar and a half of it is just taxes that they could easily put a temporary hold on to help the people out that they supposedly care about, but they don't ever. They've never done that. We have oil rigs off the coast of Kelly.

That they shut down that are in op right now. Yeah. And the refineries are being chased out of here. We, we, you know. And I know people say, well, yeah, even if they gave the go, and I think some of them, actually are doing the goalhead against Newsom.

Trump signed an executive order to try to force them, Alpha. I don't know if that's taking effect. And I get it. People say, you know, some of the guys that I've talked to that, yeah, but you're still looking at, you know, two, three to four years to see the actual, like, results of that. And it's like, I get that. But we also know the economy works off of what is the understanding of what's coming. It's the futures. And so it's, so just the fact that that's getting exposed and then that he's going and doing an executive.

order and you have these companies saying yeah we're going to do it that has an effect you know here and listen i absolutely believe that what you guys are talking about is in play you know and there's different targeted audiences you know when when trump does something it's not meant for every audience you know there's some stuff that he's doing for like our community and for us there's some stuff that he's doing for the enemies there's some stuff that he's doing for the quote-unquote normies you know and we're all going to kind of interpret it a different way because we're all looking at it through a different lens. But the other thing I remind myself about and my audience is if we believe, and I think most of us do believe this, that Trump is taking on the most powerful enemy that has ever walked this

planet, who has spent decades upon decades, if not longer, right, to perfect this plan that they have. And then, I mean, let's be honest, they came up with a near perfect damn plan. Yeah. You know, if we thought that Trump was going to be able to take them out, destroy them, you know, bring back our sovereignty, free humanity, balance the world to, you know, at least the beginning phases of what we all want. And there wasn't going to be some inconvenience to that, then we all had false expectations. You know, look at what they're accomplishing. And yeah, it sucks. Trust me.

A 36-gallon tank in diesel 707 right now. Yeah. That shit hurts. You know what I mean? It's like, do I really need to go over there? You know, like it hurts. But at the same time, what are some of the alternatives? You know, just burning some of the shit down right away that leads to chaos to riots,

to actual kinetic wars, to all the things they want, you know, it's, I think that they're doing, we're always going to want more just because of the nature of who we are. But if we kind of just step back and look at what's been to accomplish, and the little loss of life and the little loss of property and the big scheme of things, I get it, all lives matter. But in the big scheme of things, this president, this administration, you know, the good ones, not the ones working against them, but the good ones, they've come up with the, they have done a really good job to get us where we're at with the, you know, how much, what costs, I guess

is the best way to say the cost that we've paid so far. Well, and to that point, Alpha, and that's exactly why when I'm talking about, like, tribunals I'm just using as shorthand, consequences. Consequences and very public consequences. I mean, that's basically, you're talking about the costs on the American people. What I want to see and what I hope to see is Trump not just saying like, hey, let's say we get to this golden age idea, right? Lower energy price, just generally. Lower energy prices, better infrastructure, you know, lower crime, just better, better, better, better, better everything. And I do think that that's coming. I think that it would be a shame

if it's just framed as, oh, well, you know, this was a difficult transition. But hey, we got to the golden age, right? You all trust me, we got to the golden age. I think it's important that Trump points out. Like, for example, let's let's look at that. I think he issued a low-key threat in that Venezuela statement. He said, oil prices should be coming. coming down on the back of that announcement because of exactly what you what you just said off. Futures markets, right? And I said this on DPH back in March. I said that the Iran war was exposing the falsity of American markets and how they only price in bad news on futures, but not good news, so that the American oil refiners have actually not faced the consequences

of the Iran war, because there aren't any consequences, because it's fake. and because it's been fake the whole time, but, you know, everybody can keep thinking it was real the entire time, even though it just, it turns on and off like a light switch this whole war we've got going on. The futures markets priced in the pain for Americans in March, and they've kept it the whole time. So now, to Alfa's point, Trump is giving those futures markets like, hey, guys, I know the future bad news about the Iran war has been really tough for you because you've had to price in all this future pain and pass it on to your consumers, the American people. But now I've just showed you that we signed a hundred year deal with the biggest energy deal

in the history of the world that puts the oil that the Americans were getting out of Iran, which is almost none, by the way, because we're a net exporter, not a net importer, which most people don't know. We're now going to be importing Venezuel. wailing crude at half the price of all this stuff. So our energy prices based on future markets should be lower than they were before the start of the fake Iran war. And I think when he says that in that tweet, because keep in mind, he's now threatened the American oil cartel twice in the last few months and said, bring down prices now, you're gouging the American people. And he's tried to announce a bunch of trade deal, a bunch of peace deals that the media then just says are

real. So then we have to pretend the war is still going on. And he keeps announcing that it's not actually going on anymore. He announces this every two days, but nobody believes him. So now he's announced in concert with a friendly government in Venezuela that this is a real deal. It is signed. The companies are chosen. The contracts are dotted. They're in ink. It's a real deal based on futures. And I think he's warning them, you better price this into your models, right? The models should start pricing in this deal right when it hits the trading desks on Monday morning. And let's see if U.S. energy prices come down next week. Because I have a sneaking suspicion they're either not going to or they're just going to edge down like, you know, 5% or something like that.

Something nobody will notice. Yeah. Well, in my hopium here, my hopium point here of fifth gen warfare is I think, you know, we would all probably agree that Trump's deals, Trump's. negotiations, he gives you a chance, right? Like, he gives you a chance because to Alfa's earlier point, like, there's people that were bad that you got to give them a chance, take a deal too. This is a big machine. Like, deals don't work if the enemy doesn't think they're ever going to get one. They're going to go down fighting if they don't think that they have any other option, right? The last thing you want to do, as Alpha would know in war, is you never box an enemy in who

knows you're going to kill them because that, like, all they're going to do is, maximum damage, death blossom, right? So I think Trump gives them like, hey, I've given you enough hints American oil companies that I know you are responsible for Venezuela and you are responsible for this pain at the pump on the back of Iran. But I've just given you the perfect narrative to fall to back off the ledge. Do the right thing. Yep. Do the right thing. And I think it's going to be interesting to see, like, because if you do want tribunals or you do want any kind of, you know, uh, consequence, justice for this type of thing, that's quite a cascade to lay out. If you're the DOJ and you say like, they were pricing in futures markets.

They didn't price in futures markets based on Venezuela. At the very least, that is fraud. At the most, you're talking about felonies and treason with psychological warfare and economic warfare operations on the American people. point on this would be by the way if you haven't noticed Donald Trump is not the one giving addresses to the nation about the wars we're fighting right now the Treasury Secretary is right that has never happened that has never happened before Donald Trump is tweeting about the wars that are going on right now but Scott Besson is at the podium with generals

answering the questions. And I think, you know, keep in mind, he wasn't really talking about the Iranian regime. He was talking about everybody who's done deals with them. So I'm wondering, I just, I'm hopeful about this stuff. I've got my Scott Besson, opium, but I'd like to see, I'd like to see the tribunals. I don't think it's going to be Iranians at the tribunals. I think it's going to be American oil execs. Yeah, to your point, Bibi, I mean, it goes back to art of the deal, right? And if you want to understand Donald's, you know, I mean, if you want to understand Donald's, Trump, just read art of the deal. It's really simple. I remember I'm going to get back to football,

the late great Al Davis, former owner of the Raiders before he passed. He would make trades with teams where it benefited both teams and people would question him. How come you're not trying to take advantage? Because he was, for his time, he was brilliant. He was head and shoulders above the rest. He says, well, that's not a deal. He's a deal is where both teams benefit. Yeah, but that's your competition. Yeah, but then they'll never deal with me again if I rip them off. And they know, it. He said, I want to have a relationship with everybody in this league, even though they're my competition. And I think Donald Trump takes that same approach. And like you said, if you're, you could be the biggest enemy on the planet, but like, if he gives you a branch where it's like,

well, you could benefit from this too. And we all win. That's the best deal in the world. It's like a deal you can't refuse if you have any sanity to you. Now, some of the TDS is, so strong, you will see if these companies that are trying that the oil companies, especially they're trying to wait out the midterms, right, because they want to hurt Donald Trump as much as possible to make sure he doesn't have, you know, Congress next session. But, you know, we'll see how much that matters to them. Or do they take the branch? Do they take the good deal that he's offering them? And we'll see. It'll be interesting to watch. Yeah, we had a couple rants come in on this topic i'll just hit him now luke the dog 738 for diesel and boron that's nuts

but yeah you know that that's the thing it's real you know and that's and again if you're periodic table of elements it's number six yeah it's something like that he if you're looking for damages though on the american people like those are real that the type of damages that are actually demoralizing the people that we know in real life those are real damages like that's not oh, the news said something mean about the Trump administration. It's like, no, the American energy cartel catastrophically squeezed American industries in order to affect elections. Trump likes, to your point about the elections, Jay, we have all our disagreements about the elections around badlands. But we would all agree that interfering in them is tantamount to treason against the United States, right?

And in the COVID era, it's clear to all of us that that was one of the reasons for the COVID-off. That's one of the reasons people look at Fauci and all that. It's not just the pandemic. It's what it was used for. So again, you take these gas prices, it can sound silly to people. But if the intent behind the squeezing of the American consumer is to fix elections or to influence foreign influence in elections, then that's an all enemies, foreign and domestics type of thing. So does it seem to you that Donald Trump with that tweet is basically laying the bait?

Well, I think you could do right by the American people or you might be charged with treason, you know. I think he's giving them an off ramp. He's giving them a narrative off ramp, right? Because they use the on ramp of the Iran war, which granted in their defense, it was an easy on ramp take. Sure. Like, hey, even all the oil smart guys that are on Twitter say that this is going to make energy more expensive. We can just start putting people.

Same on ramp they've taken for decades, you know, every time there's conflict there. Very believable. Everybody automatically believes it. Well, I know that there's something happening with sand people. Therefore, the gas at this pump that yesterday was $3 is now $4. Makes sense to me. And, you know, like that's what we all, that's what we've all been programmed with. So now we know like, oh, there's a lot.

There's these people down in the bad places that are giving us this oil. So now, tomorrow, that oil at the pump should be less monies. That's how it works. That's how economics work. I think it's interesting. People don't think about this is the only, this is, in my opinion, the first time that we've been able to see this exposure up when it comes to wars with President Trump. Because he hasn't gotten us into any wars. He had to do a fake war to be able to expose this.

That's the whole reason why he did it. And Scott Besson is there because it's an economic. economic war. It's not a kinetic war. Which, by the way, Scott Besson has been saying this, and I know like now everybody, now he's in the news. I'm sorry, I'm a little butt heard about Scott Besson, no pun intended because of all the case. But like Scott Besson was calling it Operation Economic Fury in March, and they would ask him about Epic Fury. And he was like, oh, I don't know anything about that. But I do know a lot about economic fury. And to me, that was like, Trump has just been doing a comedy routine for six months.

That's how I feel about it. And I'm not literally saying nothing has happened over there. I'm just saying, like, yeah, to your point camp, I don't think we're waging a kinetic war. I think it is an economic war. It's a squeeze. And I think, though, the posture has changed in the last month. Like, Besson taking the podium is like, all right, we've had our fun. Now everybody, we're serious now.

You need to stop funding this shit and you need to lower your gas prices. And yeah, now that it's in the election window, those things even matter illegally. Like even fake politics, they've been talking about October surprises and things like that and how careful you have to be around in the window of an American election. Right? So it's like, we're right before that window.

And that might be Trump saying like, here is your off ramp. Here is your final offer to get those prices down. Because if those prices are up in November, I don't know. I would hope that there will be consequences for that. It has a lot to do with how do we interpret some of the strikes that have happened. You know, when you go back to the two, you know, in Iraq, you know, you have two oil gas facilities that are hit, right? Now, is that really the IRGC that's in something? Or is that trump through proxy making a threat to these guys being like,

I can take your shit out too. And it ain't, it don't even look like you got anything to do with me. And then guess what? Your competition, your competition just made money because how much do you got to invest to replenish that and rebuild it? And so I think there's a lot of this proxy stuff that's going on.

Or even attacks, you know, that happened that it's, you know, it's sold to us a certain way, right? Operation Midnight Hammer or whatever the case, it's sold to us a certain way. But how do we not how do we Is it possible that some of those targets were hit

Were deep state targets to prevent something that was being planned That was gonna actually try to kick something off And I think that's why you have Trump Well here's this is what I was gonna say earlier that that I forgot When we're talking about his messaging right Straight's open, straight's close straight's open, straight's close Straits open, straight's close war's over, war's good war like it You can't bet on it right because it's always gonna change

Now one of the things that I find that I'm like, I wonder if, is we know that just like the good guys are using predictive analytics, so are the bad guys. How do you run predictive analytics on the stated most powerful man in the world when his statements contradict each other in the same fucking day? Yes. How can you predict? It's intentional. Intentional. You couldn't.

Unpredictability. There's no algorithm that's going to be like, wall. he said this, but he said this, you're making them have to make a human decision. Yep. And Alpha, this is, go ahead, Jay. No, I was just going to say, and, you know, in the mainstream, we'll interpret that as chaos, right? He doesn't know what he's doing. And I'm like, no, it's exactly the opposite of that.

He's basically disarming their algorithms, you know, by being unpredictable, completely unpredictable, contradicting himself left and right to a comical level is how do you take, How do you not see through that? But the mainstream is so programmed that this guy is an idiot and doesn't know what he's doing. You know, they just, they buy it hook line and sinker. So I was going to bring in another guy I've been writing about lately is Kevin Warsh. And this is related to Kevin Warsh too. So these are all the things that people find boring.

But like, you know, again, now that now people are paying attention that we're only paying attention to like bombs dropping allegedly because Scott essence at the war podium and people are like, oh, maybe this man important now. Well, Kevin Warsh, by the way, speaking of freaking markets out, they can't price anything in to your point, Alpha, because he won't telegraph anything. The most controversial move that Kevin Wart, for anybody not aware, Kevin Warsh is the new Fed Chair that Trump appointed. And he will not telegraph any hikes or cuts. He's not giving futures notes. And the market is pit. at him for doing this because he's just framing it pragmatically and saying, like, we're just going to wait for the data to come in. Then we're going to announce our decision after the data

comes in, which sounds super reasonable to like normal people who don't follow this stuff, right? But what the Fed has been doing for decades is holding a Fed Minutes meeting where they tell the insiders, aka the banks and market makers and hedge funds, here's what we want you to do. and then they go do it. They don't say it in those words, but to your point about algorithms, et cetera, alpha, that's our whole market is algorithmic trading. And they trade based on certain key phrases

that Fed shares have been using going back to Bernanke in the 80s. So they literally, it's hawkish, it's duffish, it's duffish. They price all the futures in, they make the markets based on the futures, they get the Fed minutes before the market gets the Fed minutes, which is why it's hilarious to see them all freaking out

about Trump selling access to his communications. They can't sue him for it because they've been doing it the whole time. That's why they can't sue him for it because that's what our markets are made off of. All the hedge funds get the Fed Minutes and everything and they can start those algos in neto seconds before retail traders can hit any algos or position themselves. Whoever's in the room is getting the information on where the rates are heading. of course that's not even getting into the Federal Reserve probably telling their insiders you know it not through the Fed minutes and not through these meetings but I

wrote a I wrote an article a couple I've got this series might be a good time for people to check it out given that these things usually become relevant long after I wrote them and not when I write them I wrote this last year reality wars and And there's a new one I wrote recently, Revenge of the Real. But part two is the Fiat Fork. There's Kevin Warsh there. Part three, Revenge of the Real, how the Real war is being won beneath the headlines of a fake one. And this was a few weeks ago.

The reason I named it Revenge of the Real is I was talking about, Mark, I was talking about exactly what Alpha just said, which is that I think Trump and the Treasury and the Federal Reserve now are four. forcing markets to stop guessing about the future and then building a reality based on the future. These are notes from today's Fed meeting with Kevin Warsh. And look at what he says when they get mad at him about not projecting anything. He says market should form their own views from real data. The Fed should not be the primary source of the next trade. Damn.

Right? So, and I said this verbatim two weeks ago. So they are literally, why they are so controversial is they are literally making American stock markets real when they have been fake. And look at the other term he uses here. Warsh warned of quote, a hall of mirrors problem in which the Fed and markets feed off each other and miss turning points. So he says, oh, yeah, we create this problem for ourselves where we project things and then we build models on each other's. projections and then the models become the markets. And I think what he doesn't say there is, we know that you've been rigging the markets for 100 years. It's so true. The markets is not my

expertise. I mean, either. I just only followed it recently. So there's, but there are people that I know that are absolutely brilliant when it comes to them. So these are the people that I go to and I'll start asking like, hey, this, this and this, right? Because you know, I'm like, just tell me where to send my money. So I can send my money, right? And. And so as they break this stuff down, a common phrase I hear with these people is, well, the markets are showing this. And historically, this is the response. Like it should do this, but the historic response is this.

So I'm like, wait, hold on. You studied this. Like, this is your expertise. And you're saying it should do this, but this is how we should invest in it because this is the historic response to it. Why? like if everything you've studied says this should be the outcome but you're saying we're not going to do that because historically this is what happens doesn't that make you like be like well because it's being

someone's been boozeling something yeah what's the variable what's the exact exactly just because it has a historical pattern to do that what's creating that if if you're saying that the data if two and two equals this but we're getting five instead so we're just going to bet on five well that doesn't make sense and i think this to the point that you're saying that he shared in the in the meeting he's it's mirrors that that's the historic data that's the mirrors and man imagine if it's real like imagine if you know then we probably would get it we probably would be able to like self-invest and do these things because we would understand it you would have to understand yeah i don't know no alpha to your to your exact point

I think the sciop of markets, because I've, like the last two years, I've gotten really interested in it, not from a making money perspective, but from a like, how have they been, what have they been doing this whole time, right? Like we all kind of get, okay, Fiat money, G, money's done a lot of work in like, you know, kind of seeding that idea, right? The bankers, the Jews, et cetera, et cetera, all of which stands. But I've literally been interested in like, what is the engineering behind the stock market and how. How has it been rigged besides us just saying it's rigged? And that's exactly why. But what I was going to say one of the Psiops alpha is I don't think it's complicated. And I think they've made it this hall of mirrors.

That's what Warsh is saying where he's like, no, no, no, no. And by the way, Scott Besson in 2025, what did he say? When he first post-inauguration address when he was officially sworn in his treasury secretary, He gave a speech in front of, I don't know if it was at Davos, but it was in front of like the bankers. And his first speech as Treasury Secretary. And he said, Wall Street had its time. Now it's Main Street's time. And I think this is in coordination with Warsh's messaging where what they're saying is you created a hall of mirrors where you're playing an inside money game where you all know each other's trades in advance.

and you all know where the pools of capital are, and you all know what the language is, you all know how to signal each other on your trades without breaking finance laws, finance disclosure laws. I think that's what they're saying. Just like we've talked about in this audience for a long time, there's ways to circumvent national security laws when it comes to communications.

Oh, I was just joking. Oh, I said this and then I said that. Oh, I put this on an anonymous message board. I didn't break any law. I don't know what you're talking about. I think insider trading has gone the same way. I was just saying based on the data. What do people do when they anticipate that a war or something kinetic might happen?

Let's go and check the Pentagon and see what the pizza delivery orders are in the area. Now, there's nothing illegal about that, but it's exactly what you're saying. They know how to put out these signals and they know the reaction that's going to come out of it. So for instance, Trump and them wanted to make mainstream media. and everybody else thinks something's going to happen, they'll just start ordering a shitload of pizzas. And that right there is going to generate all the rhetoric. People talk, there's an uptick of 120% in pizza orders,

and then boom, everything runs that way. Well, that's exactly what they're doing with these fake things in the market. Alpha, I think you nailed it a little bit ago. One of the things I said in that reality war series is I said, because I just talked about what the oil cartels. At some point, if we're correctly diagnosing the general problem, then you don't just want to fix the problem in my view, but you want accountability for the people that have been exploiting it, right? That's like the hope.

So with markets, one of the things I said in that Reality Wars series is you said they can't bet on this. Like they can't, but you know what, Alpha? They're going to bet on it. They're going to bet on it. And this is my theory. Bessence and Warsh are executing a pincer move on the markets. and you'll kind of pick up hints of this, even if you haven't studied this stuff, by looking at the headlines being written about each right now.

Besson made a move with U.S. Treasury bonds last week that the markets interpreted as dovish, right? Money printing. He's signaling money printing is coming back. Liquidity is coming back. Warsh gets on the podium a week later today and signals nothing. But his rhetoric was hawkish. rhetoric leans toward rate hikes rather than rate cuts. So we've got the Treasury Secretary signaling liquidity and printing. We've got the Fed signaling the opposite. So the markets don't know which way to go because those are opposite directions. And they're all talking about how the Fed and the Treasury are not on the same page. Warsh and Besson are not on the same page, which by the way,

they have all the same mentors and they ran in the same circles. And we're told long before they got a that they're friends and like they're going to do what Trump wants them to do, I believe. I believe that I believe Warsh is an R boy. I think he is going to do what Trump wants him to do. But he's not going to signal it. So what I would like for the consequence alpha is I think Warsh and Besson are trying to position the head funds, the hedge funds on one side of the trade. And then they're going to rug them. And you know, you're not going to say. see a headline about that. But I bet the headline, the way this would be proven true is if you see

sometime this year headlines of like a Black Monday type of thing and you're told the sky is falling, which would also be election interference by the way. But that you find out just within a few days, retail's fine. It was all the hedge funds blew themselves up because I think they're trying to get them all to follow Bessent to one side, and then Warsh is going to rug them. Right? So as soon as they see that it's overweight, that the markets are overweight, and the markets are saying they're going to print the money, Worse is going to raise hike rates at a surprise meeting, and they're all going to get caught off the trade.

Or it's going to be the opposite. And Warsh, which I think it's actually going to be the opposite. If I have to make a prediction, I think they're going to get caught thinking that they're going to hike rates because Worse is going to keep saying and hinting that we need to hike rates. And he's going to do a flash cut. And that's going to just get them all off the trades and retail is going to benefit from it. But I definitely think that that's a very strong possibility. And I think you might see stuff like that happen simultaneously with, you remember when

Trump talked about all these ships that we just confiscated with these like hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil? and then it's everybody just stopped talking about like we did a jack move of the of these oil barrels and then it's like well okay so what happened to them like where are they you know is it asset forfeiture are we holding it for courts like where's this oil and there's a lot of talk on you know our oil reserves and they haven't been refilled what happens if these these you know to the point he's giving them this ultimatum look we just made the biggest contract ever in the history of mankind with Venezuela.

So these prices need to come down. Then all of a sudden, they trickle down. They don't move something stupid happens. And then all of a sudden we get two weeks out, three weeks out. And Trump's like, well, our oil reserves are filled because they're going to talk about. They're the lowest in like the 80s or something like that. He comes out today. We filled them.

It's back. Well, no, you didn't feel them because we're the companies. Oh, no, I did it with the oil that we jacked. That's worth that. I love that. The price has to drop. It has to drop at that. that point. So it's it's he's he's going it's either you guys do it. Yeah, I'm going to force you to do it

and make you look like lying assholes in the process. Right. Yeah. I mean, we're being told that there's a secret shadow fleet and maybe it's our shadow fleet. I like that one too. And I think this general framework is one of the ways Trump likes to operate. Right. You mentioned art of the deal, Jay. And it's like that this, I just think this is what's going on with Besson and Warsh. And again, I don't know which I don't think they know which side it's going to be I'm not pretending I know if they're going to hike or cut but I think that that's the point I think that they are signaling opposite things from each other and the market's basically like do we go with the treasury or do we go with the Fed like the treasury is the Trump guy so and he's in power but the Fed you know really sets the rate the Fed has more control historically over the markets which is bad we all know that that's bad but like that's how the markets turn trade, right? I think that the markets are getting a little too comfortable thinking that we're figuring Warshot. We think he's going to be hawkish. He seems to not be in lockstep with Scott Besson. Like, I think that's what they're positioning because Scott Besson can't do shit about rates in the

Treasury. And rates are the single biggest indicator of futures trading that you can do, single biggest macro indicator. So they're all pricing in. a rate hike before the end of the year. That's like all the trading desks are pricing in at least a rate hike before the end of the year. What if they not only are wrong about a hike, but what if he cuts like three times? It's just they're going to be so overweight off the trade. And for people like from what limited research I've done in this to try to understand it, people will be like, oh, well, right when they get that signal, they'll just get off those trades.

That's not how futures trades work. futures trades have expiries that they're locked into and also these hedge funds need to basically move in lock step because if one of them moves off the trade too early to cut losses to mitigate lot this is what happened in 2008 the reason all the hedge funds blew up one firm moved off its futures trade early and lost money but they lost you know 10% on a trade that's sent all the other guys jumping off the buildings. And right when that happens, the cascade happens. So you can't just be like, oh, I guess we'll pivot now when you're dealing with billions

and billions of dollars that you've positioned in these future trades. All these trading desks monitor what each other are doing, even in overnight trades. So if one of them gets spooked by Warsh, they're all going to be running for the exits. And I just, I have an easier time picturing that. scenario happening with a flash cut rather than like a hike. But I mean, we'll see. I just or they'll do nothing the whole year and they'll just make, they'll just drive them crazy, right? They'll keep doing this. Hey, the discombobulation is fun to watch. I mean, it's been the theme this whole year, right, with this administration in every aspect. So it stands that they

would be doing it in the financial world as well. Yeah. It was it's, it's, oh, no, go ahead, Cam, you I was to say if it was if it was me I would I would have a marker I'd have a marker that says whatever they're doing when it hits that marker when it when it's a maximum of damage for them I flip it the other way and and Besson and Warsh don't know which one and they shouldn't know and it goes back to the algorithmic thing you can't fight you can the algorithm can't figure you out if you haven't made your decision yet and your decision is based off of something that hasn't been put out to the public well to that point cam what What if the data that Warsh is talking about is not economic data?

What if the data he's talking about is where the money on the table is moving. Yes, that's brilliant. He knows. Like it, like, you know, you picture Warsh is just a player at the table, right? Yeah. But he's got eyes in the sky and he knows what every player is holding. And he knows who's bluffing and who's not not bluffing, right? So that's, I like that framing too, that it's, and I agree that.

they might they probably have come to some probabilistic opinion of we're probably going to end up cutting long run long run meaning the next couple of years I think we're going to enter a new cutting cycle and part of the reason I think that is because the whole market does not think that and I think it jives with the whole golden age rhetoric of like print that fucking money and pump all this shit pump pump everything

because you got this whole build out happening at the same time to mitigate inflation supposedly we'll see if all that happens but in the meantime i think they are warsh i think is kind of telling that room like we're just gonna wait like you you're all a bunch of crack fiends and i know you're itching right the quarterlies are coming up and you've got to make bets like nobody nobody gets promoted on wall street without making bets right so he knows like they're joneson to bet him to trade him one way and I think he's waiting for one of the biggies to trade a certain way the amount of cocaine that's flowing through that those those buildings right now people freaking out not knowing what's going to happen oh my yeah yeah and that is the story

I mean look at the media they're so freaked out that they're not getting their information out of time they don't know what to make of things and I think that's just been the strategy from day one in every aspect. And it's fun to watch. And to all the Dumaers, I just think Trump's not doing anything. He doesn't know what he's doing. He's disappointment.

I don't know how you see that way. Just the way he's toying with them is like a cat toying with a mouse. And they're losing their minds over. And that's how you know that he's frustrating them. I mean, and, BB, you know as a fighter, right, if you can get your opponent frustrated, that's when they make mistakes they take wild stabs and you know set themselves open for the counterpunch

and that's what trump is is a counterpuncher yeah and i think he's just getting them so frustrated that he's setting them up for for the big the big blow you know the big yeah exactly you wait you wait for you wait for the big strike that's when you that's when you move in you know like that that that's when you commit um you wait till they commit and you commit like you see the commit coming you're like i i i saw the look engage engage thrusters uh look at this headline that i saved a few weeks ago july 30th wall street journal like the signal setter within the financial media the problem with war's deference to markets fed chairman's analogy of calling balls and strikes doesn't work the central bank isn't the umpire it's the most important player in the game and i felt like saying

You guys aren't supposed to say that. Right. You're not supposed to say that the central bank is playing the markets, guys. You're the ones who built your whole publication on trying to predict what the impartial Federal Reserve is going to do. Right. And now they're like, guys, come on, Worst. You've got to like give us a little something.

Like, it's crazy. Like, imagine a, this would be like a baseball coach to their analogy coming out and being like, The ump wasn't even tipping us off to what the calls were going to be. Right. I had it's ridiculous. He was calling them on the field in real time. It's like it's crazy that they printed that just publicly. And they're like, Warsh, you are not doing it right.

You're supposed to tell us what you're going to do. You're not the umpire even though you very much are supposed to be the umpire, right? Yeah, just crazy. He's the groundhog on groundhogs day where they're like, is you going to come out or is you going to freak out and see a shout? on he's just like I'm just not I'm just not showing up oh my god alpha he should put on a ground on costume at his next meeting but just play it straight they're all looking will he stay out will he go back in he's just like I'm I'm not even fucking working a day like like y'all just keep

keep waiting because I'm not even going to show up which is gay behavior too like honestly it's just it's just like that's why we that's why I love Scott Besson being the one who's just like bodying markets just come out here and just be like you're bunch of faggots like look at you look at you grown men grown men in suits and you're in these high rises and you're waiting for this meek man in a suit to like hint at something to you so that you can move billions of dollars based on what he's what you think his emotions are that day you pussies like william defoe in uh boondock saints he's called exactly he is clearly a gay dude who hates faggots.

Yeah, exactly. Oh, my God. That's such a classic. I'll grab a couple more rants here. The final demand, $100 from the final demand. Thank you. Thank you. Why can't they just say Trump declass docs in his first term?

Why lie about cash finding burnbags and docs at FBI HQ? Are they less credible if Trump had them the whole time? You don't beat a liar by lying. What do you guys think about that? Alpha. I wasn't going to say this is an alpha question. This is an alpha question. Listen, you know, I want these conversations, you know, my position is always, I remove morals and ethics, you know, that those complicate the situation.

You know, the deep state, let's just, do you think that when the deep state left the FBI or the DOJ or the CIA, they said, all right, lock it up boys and give the keys to the next guy and all the coach. Hope they don't find it. Yeah, that's what the DOJ is telling me. I hope, you know, because that's the way every other company does. No, there's no damn way the most corrupt, like entity that ever survives going to do that, right? But legally, that's the way it works, which creates the narratives high up for them to come in and be like, oh, we found these burn bags. And this information was in there, you know. I think we're all on the same page with that.

I think every one of us is on the same page that this is a narrative delivery vehicle. Is it moral or ethical? Look, it depends how you're going to judge it, you know? You know, does doing it the quote unquote the right way cost lives? Because it ain't going to cost the bad guys' lives, at least not initially. It's going to cost good people their lives. And, you know, it's one of the things that I've said a lot, you know. you can't beat an enemy in unrestricted warfare if you're playing by the rules. You can't.

You know, maybe it happens that way in movies, but in real life, you can't. It'll get weaponized against you until you can't make any moves no more unless you're willing to do a move that you're not allowed to do. Now just apply that to the elections, Alpha and we'll be more on the same. I think that's exactly happening in the elections. Oh yeah. Which is why we don't need to vote in them necessarily. No!

No! God, don't say that, no. So I got a take on my hat. Uh-oh. While he's doing that. You're going to shame me. You got a vote. Oh, that's that.

Your tea levels drop. Your tea level is right when you put that on. If you wear that into like a testosterone, they'll immediately prescribe you. There ain't no baby oil dripping off. No, did he did the get out and vote thing? He had like vote hats and stuff back in the day. No shit. Did he did?

Yeah. He was really. It's just like super gay. And you know who was out there for Obama, of course? Did he's like, yo, he's been, he's been baby oiled up in my basement. Come on, come on, come on, vote for him. But no, real quick. My take on that is, guys, the burn bags are bags, bags of information that they burned.

That's how I read it every time is it's stuff they literally burned. They destroyed. And whether it was space, force, digitally, whatever, they captured all of it. It's the stuff that was burned that are in. We have it all. I could see that I could hear that and I just think it's yeah and I mean rather than give up your methods and sources you just make up a story about burn bags and I'm sure maybe there were burn bags that they were that they did use and they did burn them and and I mean when I see that I think the

enemy did burn them I always think like why the hell with with these people that are desperate to save their little world they've created why would they not burn them you really think that they were just we were about to burn them and then oh Trump got elected and so we didn't I mean I think it's a ridiculous story but I think it's Trump's way of giving them a nod and saying oh oh we found them anyways you know but I think it's because the NSA or whoever you know whatever war with wizards and warlocks like captured this information and it's Trump toying with them and saying this sorry you're off going to because you're saying something very important jay and and I want to clarify this because I don't think I've ever clarified this and and people

when I'm saying that Trump, the administration, the DOJ, the military is lying, I'm talking about lying as far as news, headlines, the information being given to the public. You can't lie in the legal aspect of how it was actually done. There has to be a true accounting for it. So like, for instance, you know, what's one of the things that we're learning through, John Solomon has dropped it the other day with the, with comma, right? Oxford comma, right? How they were manipulating letters and all this to avoid FOIA.

Well, do you think that we didn't have guys embedded in these institutions that were able to do the same thing and had codes so that when the new guys came in, they knew exactly what search terms to put in to populate information? Because the thing is, is there still has to be a legal, just legal and honest, you know, the way you got your evidence. Yeah, you have to be able to follow a trail. That's verifiable. Yeah, you can,

anything that's brought into court can't be done through something that's shady or illegal. Now, there is probably surveillance and things that are going that are definitely gray area or maybe even straight out illegal, but that will never make its way to court. That's going to be something that strictly remains on the operational side of it. But everything that's going to be used to bring justice against these people for the gulags because we do want that,

all that has to be obtained, 100% constitutional. I got one more thing to add real quick is, is it ill? Where's the threshold for illegal when somebody is either committing treason or is trying to overthrow your country? That's that's the operative question. And I think, and I don't disagree with what you said, by the way, Alpha. I just, these are the good questions, Cam, because, you know, to go even further with that,

I think one of the macro questions that we've had, and this is not, this is not new to the Q community, even though some of them pretend it is, like we look at the DOJ because that's where a lot of these crimes were committed. And that's who we're told is investigating this stuff. And yet from the Q drops to many of our operating theories in this community for a long time, there are obviously many hints dropped that, hey, whether or not we know this is going to happen, there is some pretty first principle suggestion that you don't. take the enemy down using the apparatus that they committed treason with against you now i've i used

to be very firm on that like i don't think we're going to get justice through the doj i've now really come off that ledge because it just i don't know until proven otherwise it seems like that's the direction they're going so i i could be wrong about that it could map onto what you're saying alpha where they're like uh you know this is how i think of military civilian alliance do i don't just think of that in terms of like us the people. I think that I think this is how the handoff situation's been working for years. I've been talking about that on DPH for years that, you know, if the DOJ are the traders, people in the DOJ, then it doesn't make any sense to do the investigation in the DOJ, to handle the most sensitive material to build your case. I'm not saying you don't get anything

there. But I've seen the handoffs with the Trump DOJ in the opposite direction of how a lot of people talk about them, right? Like a lot of people talk about, pick your TV character X, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, go on and on and on. Even going back to the first Trump administration, people think, Todd Blanche is here. Now he's going to do X. I think Pam just left. I wonder what she's going to do because she just left.

Because look at a lot of these figures from the first Trump administration. they went into civilian roles in private law. And these are private law firms that contract with Donald Trump and members of the Trump administration. So an example of this would be America First Legal. Like a lot of the guys on Trump team, you think they didn't have this shit at Trump 1.0? They didn't know about this treasonous conspiracy. What were they doing at America First Legal for the last four years? Like the whole four years under Biden.

I think that the cases, and to your point out of this actually kind of merges both points, I think the cases are being built and constructed legally, but civilian outfits are not bound by the same things as government outlets. And that's like one of my, and I'm no expert in law, but that's kind of one of my theories is that, are these, handoffs happening sometimes are the personnel changes in the Trump DOJ so frequent, not because it's a white hat, black hack game, but because they're like, hey man, you can't touch that stuff because we need that stuff to be able to be entered into evidence or we need

you to be able to comment on it because when you worked in the DOJ, you knew about this stuff. So we can't ask you about this other stuff and you can't have seen this other stuff. And then they go into, okay, I'll go into civilian world and continue the investigation. I think there's been, I'm not saying nothing's happening in the DOJ, but I think the DOJ is more like they bring the bags into the DOJ with all the evidence that they've gathered. I don't think they're bringing the bags out of the DOJ necessarily. There's a thing when you guys have a chance. You guys can go look it up.

I'm sure it's on the devil's Google. And it's called the wall stop in law enforcement. while stop or stop stop stop st op and you know it's it's it's it's it's it's it's a very very legal a very uncomfortable scenario of how things work and kind of what you described is that but just on a much much larger scale with a hell of a lot more moving parts you know and just a real basic just so people understand a wall stop just the real basics of it is if I'm just a regular beat cop in a police car and the feds, you know, or some, you know, state task force is working some massive operation to where they know, you know, Jimmy Bob's in that blue van and he's got a shitload of drugs and weapons going through it and they know everything about on what he's doing. However, that information is obtained off of hearsay from a witness or something like that gray area.

I was talking about. Well, they need a cop to stop that car. But if they call the cop and tell the cop, hey, listen, this is what's in that van, this, this, this, this and this. Well, then it's now gets into when if that cop was to stop this car and go to court and then they ask him, why'd you stop it? And he says, well, I just stopped it for a broken tail light. Well, that gets into issues of Brady and line and kind of what I was talking about. So a wall stop is where you'll get this task force that reaches out to probably the sergeant and says, hey, you know, we need one of your guys. There's a car coming through here. We've been eyeballing it. If one of your guys can stop it. If one of you guys can find a reason to stop it, you know, we could definitely use that assistance

right there, right? And so then you get, you know, Joe Alpha, right, to go on the freeway. And it's like, oh, you know, his license plate frames kind of covering the sticker. So there's my probable cause. I stop it. And then all of a sudden it's like, I find all this stuff. right? It's this wall stop that doesn't compromise their investigation because nothing from their investigation was used to stop that vehicle. And again, it's more complicated in that. I think you guys would enjoy it if you looked into it. But it's to what you're talking about here. Now, here's an interesting thing about this handoff or maybe even collaborations. Last month, Hague Seth came out and I pulled it. This was on July 13th. There's a bunch of different articles

out there. I think the Guardian had a good one, but if you guys don't want to pay for it. And this one was from Fox News. And it says Hegseth announces, joint task force with DOJ to prosecute leaks to journalists with the full force of the laws. It's one of the first times that we saw him come out where military intelligence and the DOJ were working together in an operation that had to do with leaks. It's a pretty big damn deal right there. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, absolutely.

And this is, I think that's some of the most encouraging stuff that's happening because I went on this ran a few weeks ago, but just basically the whole wrap-up smear thing, with Pelosi where she was, you know, educating the American people on what a wrap-up smear is. But I think that a lot of the truth community didn't, didn't quite get what she was saying. I think they got the basics of it, which is like, hey, this is how we smear people in the media. We, we, we as politicians and as opposition, we are responding to stories that we have ceded into the media. And then, you know, we wash those that way. But I don't think that's, That's not what the wrap-up smear really is the most useful for.

What it's most useful for is removing the enemy, to Alfa's point, removing legal responsibility from what they are talking about. So you get somebody in intelligence to be an unnamed source to break national security law by leaking to a journalist. The journalist knows that they are breaking national security law and that they knew this in advance, which should destroy the journalists, that would destroy the journalists legal protections. If they know that they are laundering essentially illegal material, knowingly illegal material. They're not just talking to some insider. The insider washes his crime with the media outlet.

The media outlet washes their crime with the unnamed sources protections that we grant them and should not. and I'm speaking as a guy who wanted to be a journalist back in the day before you realize that they're just intelligence operatives. They should not have any of these protections. And then the politician washes themselves using the journalist, even though they already knew, they know the source of the leak in the first place. So I agree with you, Alfa. It's not just a big deal because people in this audience are like, go get the media. It's a big deal because if you break that shame and you make it known, that, hey, you operatives in the media that call yourselves media, like, you're effed.

If you do this in the future, it's going to break that chain. So then even if you have deep state intelligence that wants to wash their info through the media, the media will not take the info. Like they break that side of the chain and then the politician then can't talk about any of this stuff and launder the information without themselves breaking national security law. If you break that media chain, the politicians and U.S. intelligence lose all shielding, which is why the media, like we've been saying this forever, but I think it's why Donald Trump declared war on the media first. It's not just that they lie all the time. I think it's like they are the most powerful shield that deep state intelligence and deep state politicians have because both of them get to hide under media reporting. And I just want to clarify something in the audience. So I don't want people to get the wrong idea.

Dr. L. Kay says, is this just cops trying to justify an unlawful stop? No, there's nothing illegal that happens. It's just the understanding that you can have an operation that's in play for a year or two years on wires and surveillance. And if you give the cop that information in order to make the stop and he makes a stop and makes an arrest. And then the district attorney's office decides to prosecute that case. That person now is entitled to discovery. That discovery is entitled to that huge investigation that may not be ready to go yet. And that actually brings it into this conversation of why I've always been telling people that has to be strategic timing to the RICO cases.

Because the second, the first arrest is made that's from the RICO case, that person that's going to go forward, if they don't take a plea or they do a deal, if they decide, I'm going to go to a court, go to a trial, they're entitled to discovery. These attorneys know what questions to ask to figure out where this DOJ is going and who else is underwire. And like I said, and it's not like it's not kept the secret. the officer will let's just say the officer ends up making an arrest and it goes to trial or it goes to the DA's office he's going to let the DA know hey I did do a wall stop so the information's there the DA just knows there's there was information privy that the officer didn't operate off of nor did he even have the information from it and it just protects the larger case that's that's that play yeah that's it's all it's nothing illegal yeah and on the DOJ front my my framing it is that is more like that like no I'm not I'm not saying these guys all know all these crimes I'm saying literally literally they are compartmentalizing the investigation from each other. So they really don't know. So they can actually go under oath, you know, these different figures and say like, I don't know shit about that.

I don't know what you're talking about. And it's actually where some of the media reporting on the clown show, the clown car that's been the Trump DOJ is going to bite them. Because if you get these DOJ officials under oath in these proceedings, whatever they are, whether they're DOJ proceedings or whether they're tribunals or something like that, they're not going to be lying when they're like, guys, you reported that I was only there for like 22 days. What do you mean? This was part of some big conspiracy. I don't know anything. I was appointed on January 8th and I was fired or, you know, graduated on January 23rd.

That stuff's also going to make it hard for the media to be like, look at these, the The media is at some point, if we get what we want, at some point, they're going to have to be wild and crazy conspiracy theorists to their audiences being like, don't you see? Pam Bondi when she was here was putting together this and then Todd Blanche and he came and they kept it from each other and in 2016, John Huber did this and he was talking to this guy. And like, they're going to have to lay out the most crazy sounding Q conspiracy. ever, which will be true about what the Trump DOJ was doing. But the judges are just going to have shielding to be like, that's retarded.

Going back to Bindergate. Yeah. You know, a question. So I have a buddy that's actually now in the press poll, right? And so I want him to ask this damn question, but he's just like, nah, bro. I ain't going to be that guy. But if you guys remember Bindergate, and one of the things, they showed us it outlined six phases why don't we why doesn't have a journalist come on be like hey

you know in those table of contents and out there you were talking about the six phases you know that first part was phase one and yeah we know it stopped and it never happened but what were the other five phases like you know is does it resemble anything we've seen since it's uh it's all quite interesting let me get as we as we round out here let me grab obviously guys answer or any of these you want to in more detail, but I'll grab some rants. Okay. We've got, we got, oh, Keith O Higgins, old reliable.

Speaking of deportations, did you hear ICE just captured Milo Yanopolis? He was prepared to move. He's gay and he had his shit packed. And he said, Trump is no fan of the oil business. Just look how Trump ruined Pete it. He's baby oil business. Yeah. I thought that Milo Yanopoulos thing was fake,

because I saw it on the Badlands chat. And I was just like, what? That's a real deal. I snatched them up, man. That's hilarious. Good one, Keith, by the way. Before I go through the rest of the rants, let me hit our last sponsors, which includes ourselves in the form of subsque.

These are the hands that built America. Hands that hammered. Hands that welded. Hands that carried the weight of a nation. Soft disclosure offers here for the hands Good Lord Randy. Working hands take a beating. These hands are built this nation.

Soft disclosure gives rough, dry skin, lightweight hydration that absorbs fast without leaving your hands greasy. Every purchase supports six small American businesses. One from everything they do, they're still the hands that take care of everything else. I hold the ones they love. Thanks, Papa. The hands that built me and you. I feel like that one was like the reverse rug.

Like the soft disclosure ads, they usually start normal and then they get weird. And that one starts weird and then just gets like wholesome. Because first time I saw it, I was like, what's going to happen? where is this going and it was just kind of wholesome we got to keep i like that one that one's actually one my favorite i like i like the pink chartreuse alpha that that's the best part listen i'm struggling with that man i know i heard you the other day you're talking about that bb what color is chartreuse i've never even heard that word before shartreys you're like i only know a few colors man well you why you throw out these random there only are a few colors to me i agree

That's why I know exactly what I'm looking at, Cam. You know, we're just messing with you. That's why I've never got it twisted. Yeah, you're the only one that knows the real colors. We're just giving you fake colors. It's all an op against you. It could be. I'll never be able to disprove it, and neither will you.

We're also brought to you by ourselves in the form of Gart, Vegas. All four of us will be there coming up in just a few weeks, like three weeks, less than three weeks. Yeah. Go to badlandsmedia.com. TV slash events. There are VIP tickets available. There are general remission tickets available. There are single day tickets available now. For any of you that are in SoCal area or the greater Vegas area, all that kind of stuff, you want to come hang out, but you only want to come to one day

of panels or something like that. Grab a single day ticket. Badlandsmedia.tvs slash events. The virtual tickets are available. 35 bucks. They get you access to the best perk, which is the telegram group that chills out all during the event. We're in there. All your fellow Badland Savages are in there. And those tend to keep going all the way until the next event. That telegram channel has not opened yet for Vegas, but it will be opening probably in the next week or so. And we'll also get you access to the exclusive live streams we do, which I think we should probably start doing that next week. We'll probably start doing those next week leading up to the event. And you get exclusive access to those. So yeah, it should be fun. Looking forward to seeing you guys.

Yeah, it's been a long time for me. It's been a year since I've been to garden. God, Jitri. Dude. It's been a while. Wow. That venue's great, by the way. Anybody who hasn't been there, the Ahern was a fun place.

It's more cozy kind of, cozy sort of environment in terms of where we'll all be hanging out. And you know what, John, by the way, guys, if you guys think John is vague to you guys, he tells you literally more than us about any of these events. Just like, that's not a joke. everybody on this panel knows that that is 100% true. So you guys who are watching right now who are like, what does John mean when he keeps saying we're going to change up how we do the panels? Nobody knows. No clue.

We don't know. John doesn't know. I promise you, John doesn't know. The event planner doesn't know. Nobody knows. But that's the charm of John, right? That's how we don't kill him. And it always ends up working out in his defense because we make it work out.

us we make it happen we'll make it happen no matter what it's going to be worth your uh it's going to be worth your money if you come hang out we are not scarce anybody who has not been to a guard knows that uh sometimes to a fault we are not scarce but i think i think it's john's secret weapon to keep it authentic and not rehearsed yeah it's almost he he he almost goes a little too far sometimes it's like you're playing this up a little bit real story this is from like deadwood two years ago Yeah, or maybe even the first one. I don't remember. But, you know, we all know what panels, like probably the day we land, what we're going to speak on, right?

And so we're sitting there. I get my tea or my coffee, whatever is that I'm drinking, getting ready to watch the panel. And you're on it. And he's like, you're on the panel. I'm like, no, I'm not. He's like, yeah, you are. And so I look, I go, I know nothing about this. You'll do fine.

And you did do fun. I was there. I remember that. You'll do great. And of course, we're all, we're all gamesmen. We're all just going to go with the flow right and do it. But when when BB says that, man, it is so damn accurate. You know, I remember the first, the first guard I spoke at was at Irvine.

And I was nervous about it, you know, and John, and I said, John, what do I do to prepare for the panel? He goes, absolutely nothing. The best ways to prepare is to not prepare. And I was like, okay, cool. Then, you know, I was talking to some, some of the other people that were on that panel with me. And I'm like, so you guys didn't prepare either. Right? No, we totally prepared stuff.

And I'm like, oh, shit. Look at all the job, the kids who did their homework. Yeah, no, that was for me at the first guard. I was nervous even though people were like, why are you nervous? You wouldn't just blabbing. You won't shut up. And I'm like, that's different, man. That's like, I'm looking at people on a screen.

I got the feedback. And John was just making fun of it. me the whole time before the first panel where he's just like, look at this peg, trying to like think about what he's going to say. But, you know, in that it does end up becoming what I think the strength is, is that, you know, they do feel different than the shows because even though we have rapport on the shows, they just end up kind of becoming. I think, and we got feedback from you guys, too, where we tried to mess with it a little bit at a couple of the guards where we're like, we'll do pairs. We'll do really like deep dive topics.

And I think people didn't like that because that's what a lot of our shows are. It's like we're already doing that. And the best panels are we just get up there. And it's like, here's a general idea. Go. And, you know, sometimes we all unify and sometimes we do not. It's kind of what this show is like, right? It's, I mean, we don't know what we're going to talk about.

We come on here and then you get into a discussion. We play off each other. And it's usually a pretty good show, you know. So that's what it's like on the panels. And I'm going to take John's advice again. and absolutely not prepare, probably because he won't even tell us to, like Alpha said, like, five minutes before. Here's the one thing I'll guarantee for you as an audience member.

It doesn't matter which panel you walk away from. You are always going to walk away. You're going to go to break. You're going to go to lunch. You're going to conclude the day. You're going to know that was a real conversation. You will never, ever walk away, not believing that that was a real conversation that you listened to.

And the best part is you'll be able to have real conversation with any one of us at all times outside of the panels. I mean, the panels are cool, but as we've said, many, many times over with Gart, the best time is after hours and in between panels and just chit-chatting with everybody and, you know, pick the brains and stuff. This venue, I think, is particularly suited to that. Yep. Because I remember that feeling that way at the Ahern last time, where it's, it's just, like at Deadwood, the venue at the venue is awesome. There's a reason we've been there, what, three times now. But Deadwood, it's like you go out into Deadwood, right? And there's people here, there's people there. That's part of the charm of it. Vegas, you could, we don't like, I'm not a strip guy. I'm not going to, like, hit the strip.

But the hotel itself, like, they've got bars there. They've got a karaoke place. They've got the area with the panels and everything. And it's just like a much more hangout in a nice Vegas hotel. and people are just there the whole time, which makes for a good environment for that. So yeah, check us out. If you guys are late to the ticket party, they're still available. So join us over there. It's too far to walk to the script. So nobody wants to waste the time to get a car's there, but it hangs out.

I did. There are times. I hate this, but it's true. Like now that I have a kid, the thing I did not expect having a kid, I expected to be like, I'm probably going to love this thing a lot and really want nothing bad to happen to him. And that happened. I was like, oh, I do. I do love him a lot.

What I didn't expect is that I was going to value my own life way more than I did because of that little shit. I'm like, God damn it. Now I like have to survive for a long time, not just to protect him, but like, because he's just fun to hang out. I want to hang out with him as long as I can. So the problem with that is these choices that I used to make, like at Vegas last time, and I'm not even talking about the obvious stuff like drinking too much. At Vegas last time, like, I grew up in South Boston area, so I do stupid shit. You take risks.

You get into fights. Maybe occasionally you get stabbed or something. And in Vegas, I did, by the way. In Vegas, I went out for like, I don't know, 2 a.m. I'm like, I'm hungry and I want snacks. and you know there was nowhere in the hotel open so I'm like I'll just walk around Vegas I went out of that area behind yeah you're foraging in Vegas for food I get most places in Vegas the area just a block away is not where you want to be like hanging out so I was just off the main

drag you are yeah I survived obviously nothing happened I didn't kill anybody or stash anybody's but I'll never tell you but yeah it was just Like when I was, I normally wouldn't even care. Like my brother used to live in South Boston. I used to go like during college, I'd be out there all the time. You get used to it. You get used to kind of like the vibe. And, you know, usually though you're with a group of like five other guys, maybe when you're

walking around there. And it was the first time. And I think it's because I had like a newborn that I was walking around being like, you idiots. Like everybody I was walking by on the stairs. I'm like, you're going to get shot or you're going to kill somebody or some shit is going to happen. And you wanted some, you wanted a like 2 a.m. mobile hot dog that's going to give you diarrhea or some shit. Where my room was, you could look down. You remember that steak places to the

right? If you follow that block all the way down, there's like a little liquor store at the very end of it. But from my vantage point, you could see what surrounds that liquor store. So you're like, no. You guys want the pro tip? want to do yeah you bring cam oh that's a good point i'll be honest with you guys i'm one of those 50 man i'm one of those people that's true oh yeah that's that's a good point just don't talk cam no no no you're not just wear the hoodie just wear the hoodie but don't say a word yeah i'll tell you guys right now my thing is i'm that at three in the morning four in the morning whatever city i'm in i usually just go out on the walk

I just go outside of walk. I just go. I actually like doing homeless people. Like people doing crazy drugs, nasty stuff. But I just go, I go walk around the area. It's just something I do everywhere I go. Good time. Me too.

I just don't pre-planet. I just one and three of those homeless people is going to have a MRSA. I will say something else nasty. Yeah. Yeah. One good thing. And I think it's because it's Trump. I think it's because it's Trump 2.0.

They're giving us white folks a wide birth lately. I've noticed it. Like I feel like five years ago walking around you'd be getting some you'd be getting some looks like maybe I'll try them and lately I'll be like you know you know we're still in the Trump term bitch Trump brought some street cred to the white boys stay over there we know what's going on so anyway if that didn't scare you guys up like there's a bunch of people I'm to Vegas they're like whoa no the value is great they're actually super nice yeah it is yeah that's just Vegas in general but stay in the A or not want under five feet away or take cam make sure you wears a hoodie or take him tell them not to talk because if cam be walking buddy if cam don't talk and you're walking with them it's like you're

with denzel you're good but if they hit you up right like where you guys from then this is where carlton comes out and you're fucked no no i'm the king of deescalation i could be talking to uh that's the problem right there i can be talking to a black can't a black and a clans And I can have them just laughing together at the end of the conversation. That's the problem. The fact that you used the word. And hit second. The fact that you even said the word de-escalation, that's why we're all going to get shot.

That's not the word I'm using, Alpha. That's not the word I take the Besson approach in more ways than one. But I, just for dominance, not for gay stuff. But you know, you got to throw your weight around sometimes as a power top. And, you know, you, I believe it, as Besson himself said at the Besson, of the Iran war conflict. Escalate to de-escalate. That's my move.

And it's worked every time except for that one time. But it was fine. I survived. Snowcat gifted a sub. The final demand gifted five subs. Appreciate both of you doing that. The final demand sent that 100, 100 ran over earlier, which we very much appreciate.

We got to that. G. Fontez, the straight Emerald Dragon said best in 2028. I'm okay with that. G. Fontez, the straight, Hormuz will be closed at least till one of three or more things happen. Ukraine, EU quit. USA leaves or NATO ends altogether and or USA enters OPEC, in my opinion. Also think MoHap is part of a blockade.

You think the U.S. is going to enter OPEC? My son. I think you need to look at the trends that are going on right now. I mean, maybe, but. Emerald Dragon. Also, B.B., I love how you called everyone faggots immediately and proceeded to full screen yourself, you faggots. Awesome, thanks for handling ball busting like a fellow New Englander Alpha gets sensitive.

He does. I've noticed that. He does. He's one of those teddy bears. I forgot you did that at the beginning of the show. He said, stuff, that. It's up, bag, moot. Me.

I'll show you guys. This was me a couple hours before the show. This is a real picture from this evening. And we need captions on this of what I am thinking in this moment as I look at this motherfucker. Look at this guy. Let's see. You get what you deserve.

Yeah, it's exactly what went through my head, Cam. You deserve to get bit. I'm about to watch this guy die. That's what you're thinking. I just keep waiting for that beautiful red spray to light up. You might actually be excited when that happens just because you're like, I think I hold them. Because I like being right more than anything else. I'm not one of these humble fags that pretends that doesn't juice me.

Yeah, I get excited when I nail a scobescent prediction. You're damn right. That keeps me going. It's like Brady throwing a touchdown. You should want your info war people to celebrate when they get shit right. Enough of this humble shit, right? Nobody buys it to begin with. I live for this shit.

I love it. I think it's important. But yeah, I'm really excited when I'm right. Okay? And everyone on this panel is excited with they're right. And everybody in the chat should be excited when you're right. And if I'm right about you going down in a pool of your own blood, because you were out there paddling around with Great Whites,

sorry, man. And people that complain about it, how long is it going to take, you know, like that, it takes as long as it takes. And if Burning Bright didn't have to do the show tonight, he'd still be standing in that same spot waiting to see that dorsal fin pop up out of the water and prove him right. He wouldn't be waiting at his funeral. That guy was probably 10 minutes after you left.

That guy was probably chumped. Oh, he's, yeah, he's. You know what actually makes me mad, though, besides the retarnation of it? Is that if there are lifeguards on duty, they're supposed to go in. And that's what pisses me up. They're not like they're not going to probably. But that's what actually pisses me off is because it's like, dude, if you go down to the spray of great white feasting, people are supposed to go out there and get you, like grab you up.

So it's just, it's such a selfish thing to do. It's so, it's so retarded. And one, I didn't know that. I thought they don't, if you're drowning, they're supposed to go save you. But if you're getting eaten, that's, that's your fault. Like that's your, exactly. Yeah, call Aquaman, man. Call Aquaman.

I'm good. Yeah, I saw that video today. Yeah. Yeah. That was crazy. That was pretty nice. Man, that ain't no game. Those were just waves.

That was not shark. I don't know if I've seen anybody. Could have been sharks in those. Maybe the sharks around them. Maybe they were trying to drown that kid. Don't play games with the sharks. Dude, there was a hammerhead shark off the coast of California. We don't get that at all.

Did you see that picture of us? Talcancon. Yeah. Hal can con. I heard that was a tiger shark. No, no, no, no. There was a tiger shark where I live this summer and they are not usually up here. So that's not good.

We get great whites. people would be like, oh, aren't great whites more dangerous? They technically are, but great whites, they're very easy to discern their hunting patterns. So, like, they got to be in deep water. Although my mom, who finally I shark pill, because my parents used to scuba dive off the Boston Harbor Islands, like death wish freaks. And finally, I, like, cracked through because there were not great whites here 20 years ago. They're just, now they're everywhere. They're fucking everywhere.

And my parents kept scuba diving for a couple years after that. And I was like, mom, like, you're going to get jacked because they go down in these harbor islands where the harbor seals are. Yeah. And you're in a wet suit. People get snatched. You're in a wet suit. You look like a small seal. And this one's slow.

This is a small. So finally. The wounded wildebeest at the back of the pack, right? She finally refused like to some resumed. ago to say like to my dad and was like, we're not, we're not doing this is like very stupid to go look for lobsters in murky Boston water where there are monsters swimming around in the darkness. But anyway, yesterday she texts me because they're down in my area. We're down this town not far from me where there's, you know, ocean and they've got these

marshes everywhere. So there's salt, salt rivers that feed under the roadways and then go into these salt marshes. And some of them have these little sandy beaches and the marshes will be like, you know, five feet deep maybe at the apex. And she was literally like taking her shirt, like had her bathing suit on, gets her shorts off, goes to get into the water. And the alarms go off because in the river there was a great white had just strolled right in, came right in. It was a juvenile. It was only about seven feet long. But you know, who cares about that?

Tiny. But like, that's that, that shit I'm always talking about where it's like, the false sense of security people have. They're like, well, this water isn't over there. And it's like, the water's connected. And they get swirrefully fast. Yeah. We are at a very big disadvantage in the water.

I always say we'd be born with gills and fins if we were supposed to be in the water. I like the ocean. I like looking at it. I don't like being in it. Both are fun. Yeah. That's true. I say a 50.

Actually, I skipped one. luck the dog trucks need diesel and the companies have to pass the cost of consumers and so on it goes i also think that regulations need to be cut as part of the solution yeah i'm saying the input cost the diesel is being gouged and then yeah they know everything else comes up from there isaiah 50 10 bucks sussing out bad actors in fiction warfare is like making a clinical diagnosis symptoms a b and c are treason or elite capture until proven otherwise possible final demand $100, another $100. My question is ultimately

is very simply, is it legal? And I think Alpha did a good job with that part of it. But thank you so much, Final Demand. Thank you. Very much. $200.00 tonight. The boom digity with a hondo. I thoroughly enjoyed Scotty B. excoriating FarmaHontas today. Thanks for a great show, gentlemen. P.S.,

remember to Raid Bay Bay Show coming up. I don't even think I have the power to do that on this stream, but I can see. But did you guys see that? The roast of The roast of Elizabeth Pocahontas. I didn't see that. Oh, bro.

It was so funny. I missed it too. Do it some other time on one of your shows or something. Just look at it when you're done, but it's hilarious. You will absolutely love it. It'll be good night reading. If anybody has a quick link in the chat, shoot it over. I mean, if it's long, we can't do it.

But if it's like a minute. Keith O'Higgins, the Lake America is a teaching sciop. Kids were taught the acronym Homes to remember the Great Lakes. Now Superior Huron, America, Michigan, Erie spells shame. A shame kids can't afford homes Okay GFontes is vote on Alpha's hat Like the feminine tense for Vato

You ain't right GFontes Yeah I wouldn't mind looking like Seal if it meant banging Heidi Clune I read that one that was hilarious Oh BB at the bottom If you want to pull it up Seals like the only black man

That was actually black No Wesley Snipes ever oh west he also didn't pay taxes yeah based which was based you want to read a b b can look i got look at wesley's like yeah he's dark but i can't read it on this screen you can't read it all right i'll read it um treasure secretary scott besson says in her latest i look this word up sealistic sealistic letter to me senator warren made it clear that she knows even less about foreign exchange markets than she does about banking what is equally shocking but not surprising not surprising not

a single member of the media mob has rudimentary enough level of financial market literacy to spot her remedial error. To reiterate, under POTUS, the United States delivers for Americans trusted partners. For a fuller explanation, I recommend Senator Warren take an entry-level course in international finance for her and her staff, or I can personally give her a tutorial on foreign exchange for dummies. Although I'm not holding my breath, I hope her next letter will demonstrate that she has learned the difference between a currency purchase and a swap or a loan. And then if you read the actual thing, it's hilarious. So people read that on your own time. That's good shit.

I told you guys, that was early on that. I said, Scotty B. 2024. I said, this is the guy. This is the guy. I started writing about him a lot in 2025, but he's based. He's that he's an actual narrative fusion. He's memetic.

He's low key funny. He's involved in a lot of narratives. But he is doing some real shit. And, uh, he's, Actually, to Alpah's earlier point tonight about the white hats, black hats, and we don't know. Scott Besson is like Exhibit A. Because understandably, people in this world with a cursory glance at him will be like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Like, you worked for George Soros and made him his billions and everything.

And Scott Besson will tell you, you're damn straight I did. And I was damn good at it. But now... He actually got asked that question. Yeah, I saw that. And his answer was great. He didn't shy off from it at all. No. He said I was damn good at it. I made him a lot of money. And he was like this was before he was publicly involved in all this all this social engineering or at least we knew about it, which is true, by the way. Soros disclosures weren't until the last 10 years or so. But, you know, just look at his actions. Look at, you know, you don't have to think Scott Besson's the best guy in the world. Is he the best man for the job? And like this is you go in. get i've been calling him since 2024 he said 2024 before the trump administration he's sitting in davos and he said i envision a grand uh a global economic reordering and i would like to be a part of it

and i wrote at the time this man looks like a demolition i said this man is a demolitions expert so if trump brings him in that's a sign that he is demolishing something and i think we see it yeah i saw I saw him when Trump came to speak in Marietta, where we live. I saw Scott Besson up close because he spoke there. He's imposing. He's an imposing guy. I would say he's probably around six foot two, man. He's in, and he's not a tiny guy.

I mean, we're told he's fighting people in the white house all the time. The guy looked like he could wolf some ass. He supposedly punched Elon in the face. And I think, I think that's K-Fabe. Like, I think sometimes I like to think that, you know, the guys on the, squad are just having fun with you totally like did you see the story we planted about you and best it comes into work and they're like whoa scotty that's don't hit me that's how they break each other they prank each other with like world world renowned story like stories of breakups

and fights and they're like they follow in the oval office like ah got you and it's actually an unnamed source in the oval office that's giving the stories so they have to report on it's like yeah yeah yeah and then tell them that uh and then i said you're the the power bottom now bitch no that's the stuff too when you see that kind of confidence that they can just have fun with this stuff yeah that that is what gives me somebody took it somebody took it too far and left and left cocaine in the white house things got a little crazy uh yeah we're we are currently being led uh led in war by a nation with a by a gay treasury secretary with a pink house and uh i am all sure true so i think it's sure truth

Shut up, Jay. This is fake. All right, guys, that's all we got for you. Thanks for joining us. I don't know when we're going to see you guys. Get your Gant tickets, guys. Yeah, get your guard tickets. But yeah, you'll see me in 7.30.

Is the Blitz tomorrow? The Blitz is tomorrow. Yeah. 10 a.m. Eastern, it hits the substack. If you were subscribed to the substack, Ash and I did an episode in which I make an analogy between Canadians and Seagulls. And it works. I'm excited for that.

Well, there you go, man. I'm tuning in. Yeah. The narrative is Sunday night, 9 o'clock. I'm going to do a solo show. So now nobody will watch, but... No, we'll watch. He's going to ramble on some stuff. Get it out of my head.

What about the rest of you freaks? Isn't that our draft? I know. That's why I'm like, do you come on? I just announce it at the draft. Our drafts at eight Eastern Time and BB shows at nine. So we might be done. Yeah, I mean.

Dude, it's going to cut into your show. I know. I said we just cut the draft and then just go straight to the narrative. Speaking of John Harold and things he does. Oh, that's okay. We'll figure it out. Maybe I'll have a show. Maybe I won't.

I mean, we'll see. Anyway. All right, guys. We'll see you next week. Take care, guys. Thank you so much for joining us. And don't forget to hit the thumbs up on this video. And a special thank you to all of our advertising partners.

Please remember to shift your dollars to support those businesses that support Badlands Media. The only button available to me says I need to play the outro again to end the stream. So hold on a second, guys. If you're still here, we could just do a whole other show. But I think I'm going to have to play the outro again and end the stream that way, because I didn't realize this was a fancy stream where the end the stream button. Usually I just click end stream and then just does some stuff on the back end and all the buttons. I don't have to press any more buttons.

But this time, the button says play outro and end stream. But I manually played the outro already, guys. You see. So I will have to play it again, I think. And, yeah, I'm going to have to play the outro again, guys. So Alpha is going to sign it. Well, that was dirty. We'll catch you next time.
