Badlands Media - RattlerGator Report: 3/4/26 - No More Delusions — We Are at War

Episode Date: March 4, 2026

JB White delivers a fiery and unapologetic response to what he sees as dangerous confusion within his own media circle. After reacting to commentary from fellow hosts, JB makes it crystal clear: this is not a game, and this is not a theoretical debate. In his view, America is at war — economically, strategically, and geopolitically — and President Trump’s actions must be understood through that lens. He dismantles the idea of a U.S. alliance with Russia or China, calling it a failure of discernment and a surrender to adversarial propaganda. JB argues that currency warfare, energy strategy, and dollar liquidity manipulation are deliberate tools of American power. He highlights Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s remarks on weaponizing the dollar, the strategic role of stablecoins, and the broader financial chessboard shaping Iran and China. He also frames Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter as a calculated move against centralized narrative control, tying it into a larger war over sovereignty and information. This episode is intense, direct, and rooted in one message: align with strength, reject confusion, and understand the battlefield we are actually on.

of the badlands. Explain those badlands. That's a hell of a name. And give me a second, gang. I'm multitasking and I've thrown myself off. But welcome, welcome to the Rattlegator Report. For this Wednesday, what the heck is it? March 4th, 2026. And this is episode 9.2 of the Ratlegator Report. Wow. If you all saw the Y Chrome show, on Monday. You might have seen my shock to find out that my three co-hosts seem to be of the opinion. It's like, wow. Now, let me just, I have, because I was concerned about groupthink in Badlands Media. I've kind of left all of that stuff alone in terms of trying to watch the show, keep track. What are they thinking?

What are they talking? I wanted my show to be unique to me and my understanding of things. And wow, did I get a surprise on the Monday show? And, you know, we're going to have a show on Thursday. There will be no holds bars. and I might slip into some language today that's a little people might find disrespectful, but we're at a fucking moment in time where we can't have this stupid shit. And what I heard on Monday was stupid shit.

And it's like, we can't have that. This president cannot have that. We are at war and there are people playing bullshit games. And we cannot have any tolerance. of bullshit games. And I just, wow. And I'm thinking, it made me, it's like, wow,

do I have to go check every show on this network? Is this the prevailing wisdom? What they were, what they were, is everybody? What? That is. Oh, my God. So I was sitting there responding vigorously because,

listen, my training, my natural orientation, is to discern via adversarial interaction. That's how I shake the tree and find out what the fuck is what. What do people really believe? What do they really know? What are they perpetrating about? And, you know, people can mistake it for anger.

It's like, it's nothing remotely close to anger. But I do get loud. I do get boisterous. I do. Anyway, Thursday might be fascinating. Thursday might be. fascinating. But it's making me, I'm going back to guard. Where were we? Were we in Plymouth or were we in Cocoa Beach? But I was on a panel and Ghost was talking about being bullied. And he gave an example of being bullied. I was like, that's not fucking bullying. And I was afterwards, I was looking at John like, what are we talking about here? I'm just perplexed a little bit with these younger folks.

I wanted to be with a younger crowd once I figure out, yeah, I got to fight this fucking battle. These dumbasses are fucking up my retirement. And so the battle must be fought. Once the interaction with Patrick occurred, the reading epic threads, okay, and then seeing what some of these other folks were talking about the Patel Patriot Revelation, you know, a lot of that stuff I had already been talking about on my Twitter account before we ever got together. So it pleased me greatly to see some of that. And I said, yeah, I need to hang with this younger crowd. And I specifically told John, I am rolling with you, bro.

So here I be. But wow. It's been a fascinating, fascinating, fascinating ride to see how, you know, this battle is engaged. And I think maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. I've asked a few times on here, are we or are we not at war? In the sense of, motherfucker, do you not understand we are at fucking war? It ain't play acting.

And how is it? it, I'm still wondering in my mind because when I tell you I was shocked, I was shocked. It's like at this late stage, you fucking think Donald Trump is doing some

alliance shit with motherfucking Russia and motherfucking China? I just what are these young people thinking? What on earth are these young people? thinking. But I can't fault them. They didn't grow up in the world I grew up in. The world I grew up in, they

could not possibly have fallen for that bullshit because they would have intuitively known that's absurd on its face. But apparently they don't intuitively know that. It's like, okay, whatever fucking schooling you got, training you got was fucking deficient because you should know that's absurd on its face and they've put some stuff out there, these ghosts in the machine, because remember, as I always try to say to people, Q is tossing stuff out there that goes in both fucking directions, testing your discernment. And if you sit up there and think, saving Israel for last means getting Netanyahu, yeah, you fucking walk down the wrong fucking road of discernment. And I just, I'm wondering, how long can they hold out on this kind of delusion?

This kind of fucking delusion. Rebel, you know, I got to turn off my damn phone. Rebel said in the chat and I better I better get in the chat. Oh, Lord, there's a show today. My schedule is surprising me once again. But Rebel said something and, hey, it looks like you were right and it's us, Israel and the Crown. Oh, hell no. This is the level of confusion is a testament to how many operators, intelligence community operators, we have out in the media space and people have no clue that that's who these motherfuckers are.

They don't know how to apply healthy skepticism to some of these motherfuckers when you ask, well, why the fuck are they saying X? Why the fuck is Marjorie Taylor Green doing this? Why? There are operators working against us in broad daylight, looking you dead in the eye. You got to follow your president. Do you or do you not trust this world historic

motherfucker because he's been able to do shit? These people didn't think he could do. Shut the fuck up and follow his lead. Why is that so hard for some people? You're not smarter than him. You don't know more than him. Just shut the fuck up and follow his lead. Anyway, so sit rep on Thursday.

We're going to, especially, you know, Brian said something that I just like, I never thought I would hear coming from a motherfucking Marine. And it's like, oh, no, this shit will not stand. No, brother, no, that shit will not stand. And we're going to have to have us a man-to-man conversation on Thursday because that is some bullshit that we don't have the luxury of you entertaining. We don't. And so, yeah, we got to do this show.

We got to do this show. We got to do this show. I've put some things in the chat to not let me get too off track and rambling while thinking about my shock. on Monday. And I just, wow, I just, I would have thought people would have left that shit along by now because it was just so blatantly obvious. That was bullshit. And then to sit there and say to me, Donald Trump is bringing Netanyahu to the White House all these times because it's the fucking principle.

Talk to the fuck. You have no fucking clue. if you believe that for a nanosecond. You have no fucking clue. So, oh, man. Oh, you know, let me get in the chat. Let me get in the chat. And I may not wind up doing any of my prepared show with these links and everything.

I'm kind of, I'm now, I'm even questioning y'all. I'm even questioning the audience. My chat personalities is like, wow. Do you all believe that shit? Do you really believe that shit? Yeah, and I don't care, Rocky Top about the verbiage. You know, it's almost like this nigger versus nigger shit. None of that means a damn thing to me.

That's all masturbation, bullshit, and I ain't big on that. So, yeah, I just paid opposition definitely. And, you know, again, I wish, wait a minute, Bunny, I love the, yes, baby. And I'm telling you, don't get in that chat on Thursday talking some yang to me. Don't do it. But yes, Morpheus paid opposition. People don't realize, I'm going to, I think, hopefully read something about Elon and his purchase of Twitter. It may have to wait for Friday's show.

but it would do well from my very biased position. If you just try to accept my theory, this whole back at your bitch's thing and try to analyze things from there. Because I think if you just give that an effort, even if you don't totally come over to my way of thinking, you're not about to sit there and believe dumb shit like America, Russia, and China. you're not going to do it you're not going to do it

because Donald Trump is putting everything in your face to say that's bullshit and here's how you have to know how to do the discernment of him saying that's bullshit he will do business as he properly should as the American president with any fucking body that's the American way okay we'll do business with any fucking body

except if your ass is sitting out there talking about death to America. You're some kind of dumbass communists in Cuba, talking about taking over this country to the communistic way. No, motherfucker. No. We do not have a constitution that's a suicide pact. It's almost like people sitting there and talking to you about Christianity, as if it's pacifistic Quaker-like suicide pact. No, motherfucker. That is not true. And so, yeah, I just, I don't. The thing about their discernment, it includes the internet. Motherfucker, do you think I ignore the internet?

Rebel, don't even. Don't even. They're not doing any more research than my motherfucking ass is. It's just they're fucking confused about some shit. I can guarantee you that. And it's like I tried to say to both. If your ass is confused about Donald Trump and team Trump, going after Iran on this and you are stupid enough to say Israel has taken over Donald Trump and convinced

you never knew who Donald fucking Trump was. You never trusted Donald Trump. You might as well be one of these dumbass motherfuckers with the city of London talking about Trump as though he can't strategically think about shit. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God, how much have they remodeled the playing field? Rebel, I'm going to tell you this. I said it to them. And motherfuckers need to know how to hear this. Keep it simple, stupid. Respect Occam's razor. Quit with all this Kazarian bullshit. Those are fucking distractions. The goddamn Russians have planted all over the place and so have the motherfucking Chinese. And if you walk down that street, they've played you for a motherfucking fool. It's best that you know that now.

and take steps back. It's best that you know that right fucking now. Oh, Jesus. Good morning, Maga Keyes. You know I love you, baby. Cindy Wynne, good morning, Lou Banks. Good morning. Yeah, Rocky Top.

I did not expect that. And, you know, part of that is, again, I was genuinely, like, wait a fucking minute. You believe that shit? I, wow. Wow. Wow. So I'm going to be curious about Thursday. And, you know, Brian talked a little, you know, anti-war stuff. And I asked them specifically about, you know, Iran and these marine barracks bombing. And you just are, you're blowing that shit off? Oh, no, motherfucker. Oh, fuck no. You're not the motherfucking. I thought if that's what you are fucking doing. fuck that new don't even

morphies I don't know about the Clintons today I've got I've got a full schedule of sorts and yeah I'm just

sometimes I have to you know you can't track all this stuff all the time you just can't you just can't Eleanor thank you for always yeah yeah I like to

you know, I'd like to think we've got a hell of a niche audience and X number of people are going to want to try and check some things out, listen to some things. I want to have an open conversation. Again, it ain't about you got to agree with me. But on this issue now where, you know, we are, I get, I get, you need to know this. You can hear it in my voice. I get a little intolerant when it is a issue of major importance, and the president needs you to be clear,

to not be sitting over there babbling like Matt Walsh is doing, Megan Kelly, people who should fucking know better, but obviously don't. And, yeah, it's like we cannot, I think Brian or Alpha, somebody, maybe even Cam, said, what did they say? Wow, I can't even pull it out of my brain now. But there's a self-confidence that was part of the shock to me. It's like they really fucking believe this stupid shit.

Oh, God, this is what really threw me for a loop. I mean, you were looking at me like, yeah, I'm the one who doesn't. understand what the fuck is going on. No, motherfucker. No, no motherfucker. I'm aligned with my president. I don't know what the fuck y'all are doing, but I'm aligned with my world historic president. Y'all might want to take a step back. Because I know more than you fucking know, apparently. So, yeah, I just, what you, what you have to understand, and apparently a bunch of our crowd, they're way too fucking young to understand this. All of our adversaries use our freedoms against us.

They can plant whatever narrative they want. Don't you fucking know the goddamn Russians and the Chinese tempt the environmentalist movement to try and make us do stupid shit? Don't you fucking know that? We have a wide range of adversaries. because we are the number one market on the planet. We're the number one military on the planet. We're the number one motherfucking culture on the planet. Our fucking Congress they use as the United Nations.

Don't you fucking understand that? They shower them with money. Why do you think we have a hoard out Congress? Because of our freedoms. And they've taken advantage of that in our political. class has failed us. It's like me sitting here telling you the other day, Jesse fucking Jackson failed us. This man said he was called by God Almighty bullshit. He failed us. A bunch of people are failing us. This is what Donald Trump is up against. Don't you fucking understand that?

And the minute you sit there and talk is if you fucking know better, you are playing their script. Some of our crowd don't seem to fucking understand that. You don't fucking know better. I better, I better, I better, I better. I better. I need to at least read.

You know what? I'm just going to, I have this pinned to my if you've been on my Twitter, you know it. Let me see if I can present it and try and get into the show a little bit.

This is what's pinned on my ex account. Donald John Trump. Yes, he is big daddy Billy badass. And this motherfucker needs our support. He does not need us babbling

about some fucking sovereign alliance where he's used that language to try and say to Russia quit being a dumbass for China. It's the language, it's commercial language. And again, I've tried to say, some of y'all ain't listening to me, some of y'all don't believe me, you'll fucking learn it one day. Your discernment is fatally harmed,

fatally harmed in terms of the United States of America and our geopolitics. If you don't start with the motherfucking military, our combatant commands, how we have troops stationed, where they are, What are our alliances? If you think regions of responsibility and cooperation includes Russia and China, you have walked down the wrong fucking street. In the Middle East, guess what regions of responsibility and cooperation mean? That means motherfucking Israel and Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Cooperation Council. That's what the fuck it means. If you don't see Donald Trump sitting there looking at Turkey trying to triangulate us,

and you don't see essentially Donald Trump saying to them, fucker. You don't triangulate us. We triangulate your punk ass. Then you understand what the fuck he's doing with Greece and Italy. I was, I just, wow, I think I was giving way too much credit. I hope that's not the case. I hope that's not the case. But we seem to have some confusion. And Donald Trump, we don't need confusion right now with enemies sitting up there trying to pimp divisions in the maggot. There's no fucking division. You've got some operators who have been paid to talk stupid shit. How shocked was I to see the motherfucking hodge twins? Oh, Jesus, the fucking hodge twins. Our adversaries are incredibly savvy, incredibly good, and they know where our weaknesses are.

And they have exploited those weaknesses. And it's on full display. It's on it's on full, full display. Yeah. But, okay, I've taken that off. I need to read. I've got two things I really want to read. And I'm probably, well, hell, let me try and read this Elon Musk thing about Twitter

because, again, some of you have foolishly cast dispersions on Elon. He is clearly. part of the team he has been from the very beginning from the very beginning and uh i think you just you need to accept that but let me let me try and read this real quickly it caught my attention yesterday i do believe dustin on x elon must just revealed what the 44 billion dollar acquisition of twitter was actually for For three years, the legacy media laughed.

They said he overpaid for a dying social network. Remember now how the similarity of the shit they talked towards Elon, the same shit they talked to Trump. And unbeknownst to them, yeah, these motherfuckers are fucking both of y'all. I mean, oh, boy, he is, and Elon is, oh, God, it's an incredible American team. We will see that one day. We will see that one day. They said he destroyed the value. They said it was ego. They were blind to what he actually believed. He didn't buy Twitter to make money. Math never made sense and he knew it. He bought it because he believed that a single private company controlling the global flow of information was one of the most dangerous structures in the modern world. And oh, by the way, in bed with all kinds of intelligence communities around the globe. That's what was happening before. And he was willing to spend $44 billion of his own money to disson.

dismantle it. Musk. Quote, the number of people who have the X app installed is well over a billion. Unquote. Think about that. Think about what a billion people with genuine free expression actually produces in real time. And most especially, think about what that means in China, in Russia. They can't block everything. But they damn sure try.

Arguments, discoveries, market reactions, political upheaval. scientific debates, grief, rage, revelation, the full unfiltered spectrum of human thought happening simultaneously, continuously, continuously out of velocity, no previous medium in history could capture for decades. The institutions that controlled information understood one thing. Whoever shapes the narrative shapes reality. Legacy media companies, social platforms, financial systems, they all built from the same exact structure, centralized control, moderation, gatekeeping, the ability to decide what flows and what doesn't. They called it safety.

It was in fact leverage. Must watch them use it. He watched them throttle stories, suppress accounts, and quietly shaped what billions of people were allowed to think and say, remember now, Elon Musk was one of the heaviest users of Twitter. He was on it every damn day, posting all kinds of shit all the damn time. He knew exactly what it was. So he bought it to end that kind of control. And in doing so, he accidentally created something nobody predicted you cannot build a maximum truth-sinking intelligence on a filtered Internet.

Every content moderation decision is a gap in the model's understanding of reality. Every suppressed topic is a distortion baked into the foundation. Every guardrail is a lie. the AI learns as truth. Are y'all paying attention to Anthropic? Really? By protecting free speech, Musk guaranteed that GROC

would train on raw, unfiltered human reality while every competitor trained their models on a curated, sanitized version of the world. The idealism produced the strategic advantage, not the other way around. You are part of it, right freaking now, reading this. every post you've written on the platform, every reaction, every idea you put into words.

That's the battlefield, ladies and gentlemen. All of it flowing freely, the way it was supposed to, again quoting Musk, as we give people more reasons to use the X app. Whether it's for communications for GROC or for X money, we wanted to be such that if you wanted to, you could live your life on the X app, unquote. communication, intelligence, financial transaction, every function of human being needs to operate in the modern world, all inside one open ecosystem, all running on infrastructure built on the principle, that information should flow freely and people should decide for themselves what to believe. A billion humans expressing themselves without a gatekeeper deciding what's allowed. That's not a training dataset.

That's what freedom actually looks like. at scale. They laughed at him for spending $44 billion on a website. He bought the global public square and gave it back to the public. The fact that it also happens to be the greatest AI training asset in human history is what happens when you build something real instead of something safe. The gates, the legacy world bit to control, the narrative are still standing. Nobody is walking through them anymore. This is this is the point of why I was so shocked on Monday. You have bought into Russian propaganda? Chinese propaganda. Jesus. Sweet Jesus. Okay. Now, let me get to these supportive advertisers.

Okay, I've got to, let's see, I need to share this, uh, Gart. Where did I put it? There it is. Why didn't I? Anyway, here's the damn.

The picture can't be displayed. Lord have mercy, Jesus. Anyway, did I, did I, did I keep what they sent me? Because I might have gotten rid of that image. I was so, yeah, I think I got rid of that image. I hate, you know, I'm nerdacious in this kind of way. If we're on a visual platform, don't send you. some shit a poster that is a portrait when it needs to be landscape you have to be you have to be

told anyway yeah okay Garp 11 is happening in Nashville and given this development and what might transpire on sit-rept wow we might have some really fascinating panels because uh Yeah, I'm of the opinion. We don't have the luxury of engaging in this bullshit. We don't have that fucking luxury. And so are we going to have some consequential panels? Because if your analysis is saying, wow, man, Israel has taken over Donald Trump. We're now fighting Israel.

Oh, Jesus. Oh, God. Yeah. Our president does not need that kind of bullshit. that kind of disrespect the outrageousness of it the immediately obvious outrageousness of it so yeah i'm going to be very curious uh what kind of panels are we going to have we're going to be masturbating up there are we going to be talking about some real shit in this world historic moment that's going to tell me a lot i hope to not be shocked yet again but uh yeah i'm going to read i'm going to read i'm going to read how

Another piece. I kind of, I put the link in the chat. So it's that Swan Bitcoin link. You should watch the entire video. And you should understand, look, they've got a business. They are clearly Bitcoin biased. But they dropped some real shit in this video. And so I've pulled out some language that I'm just going to read.

And, yeah, that should give me close to the, end of the show. Friday will come back because look, I'm telling you, they're obviously using, in my estimation, Palantir and other American tools to flood the zone. That's how they've been able to

so beautifully flood the zone constantly. And so yeah, maybe we'll talk more about that on Friday. But let me let me find this piece. I was just so freaking happy and I wonder.

Anyway, let me just read the damn thing. We're talking about what's going on currently right now. Of course, there's a lot of stuff going on, but this is from a geopolitics financial point of view. What we're currently observing is a rejection of fiat overall. And it's an indication that the financial world is looking for a protection in times of uncertainty. And at the end of the day, government bonds and fiat currencies are a representation of the country and not a necessarily representation of value. And I think that's largely what's been driving the whole gold price.

The world isn't rejecting the dollar specifically. It's rejecting the reliability of government issued money across the board. Gold at $5,000 is the market saying it wants out of that system altogether. So here's where the Iran conflict stops being a military story and becomes a monetary one. Weeks before any bombs dropped, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson gave a public speech describing exactly how the United States had already weaponized dollar liquidity against Iran. And now listen, when you got to understand now, when you say Iran, you're talking about Russia and China. When you say Venezuela, you're talking about Russia and China. If you don't understand that, your ass is way off track walking way down the wrong street, way down the wrong street.

Last month, the White House announced its maximum pressure campaign on Iran, designed to collapse its already buckling economy. The Iranian economy is in disarray, 35% official inflation, a currency that has depreciated 60% in the last 12 months, and an ongoing energy crisis. If you know a few things about currency devaluations, you know if you were an Iranian, you would get all of your money out of the Iranian real. Brent Johnson, the creator of the dollar milkshake theory, he's connected those dots in real time. And he said he thinks America can use this situation as a geopolitical weapon. Remember, we are at war, ladies and gentlemen, a weapon against small.

and emerging countries and even some of the bigger countries. This is true because once another country's currency starts to be rejected and instead citizens begin using dollar stable coins because as bad as the dollar is, it's better than most other local currencies. That starts to strip away sovereignty from those local governments. One of the primary tools that any government has to control their population is the money. If they lose that control, that's often very bad news for that government. That's why legal tender laws exist. It's why they say gold can't be used as money. It's why there's a network of rules around what you can and can't pay your taxes with, such as Bitcoin, because they need to be able to control those channels.

If they start to lose control of those channels, they start to lose control of the economy. And we as Americans need to understand we're in an era of open warfare. This may as well be the American Revolution 2.0. And we can't afford to have some feminized response to these global conflicts. Talking shit about what's fair and what's not fair. Fuck all of that. We have to play for keeps because we have to understand the stakes. It's either us or it's the Chinese.

And as I've told you all repeatedly, there can only be one. And we are that one. Scott Besson just came out two weeks ago and said they weaponized the dollar against Iran. In a speech he gave, it might have been in Davos, I don't know. He said what we basically did was we caused dollar liquidity in Iran to dry up. That forced Iran to have to print a lot of money. When they printed a lot of money, their local currency fell in value. And when it fell in value, the people started to revolt because they couldn't do anything with the local currency.

And it wasn't too long after that before they're out in the streets protesting. And so here we are today. You combine all of those things. And then two days later, Besson was in Dallas. And he gave a speech where he said, stable coins are a financial innovation that are very important and are going to be part of the system going forward. Scott Besson is like a field general at war.

Y'all need to understand that. So when you see a guy who was part of the team that broke the bank, of England come out and say he knows how to weaponize a currency against a country and then a few dollar days later he says stable coins are going to be a big part of the future you best pay attention so the u.s treasury secretary has described on the record how they caused dollar liquidity in iran to dry up and that forced iran to print money when they printed the Iranian rial collapsed when the rial collapsed people took to the streets and now here we are are. Then days later, the same man stood up in Dallas and said that stable coins are a financial

innovation that will be a big part of the system going forward. This ladies and gentlemen is sequencing currency warfare first, military strikes second and programmable dollar rails position as the next instrument of projection. Think about what that means. means. The U.S. doesn't necessarily need to invade a country to destabilize it. It just needs to dollar it. Once a weaker nation citizens start using dollar stable coins because their local currency is failing, that government loses its primary level of financial control. That's the money. And when a government loses control of the money, that government falls back on force. When force fails, the government fails. Now zoom out a little bit further.

Iran sends roughly 85% of its crude oil to China. Venezuela previously sent over half of its exports there too. In the span of two months, the United States moved on both of these motherfuckers. Venezuela first, then Iran. That's not a Middle East story dressed up as foreign policy. That's an energy war aimed at China without firing a motherfucking single shot at Beijing. Do you hear me? So while everyone is distracted by the missiles, the real move is happening on the energy chessboard. Okay? And right in the middle of all this, gold is suddenly getting rejected at its all-time high. Now, this doesn't mean that gold is broken, but it reveals the fact that gold still needs the system to work. It needs open markets, physical custody, counterparties you can trust, and show. ships that actually move through a straight like Hormuz.

In other words, when the board gets flipped, gold gets stuck on it. Now, I pulled this text from Swan Bitcoin video. Their bias is obvious, admittedly. But that doesn't mean it isn't true. You do your own discernment, research this topic yourself, but you better think three times before you dismiss this analysis. Finally, the conflict in the Middle East is accelerating. gold has corrected, Bitcoin held.

That sequence alone deserves your attention, but the real story isn't one weekend of price action. It's the architecture underneath. Scott Bessent described the currency warfare playbook before the first missiles launched. Stable coins are being positioned as programmable dollar weapons that can strip sovereignty from any nation that can't defend its own currency. Energy flows are being rerouted to squeeze. China's growth engine without firing a single shot at Beijing. The monetary order isn't collapsing on its own. It's being dismantled deliberately by the people who built it. And gold, the 5,000-year-old

safe haven just showed you its limits because gold still depends on that system. It needs open markets. It needs custody. It needs trust. Bitcoin doesn't need any of that. There's no functioning state to deal with, no trusted counterpart to rely on, no one's permission needed to move to settle or to cross a border. There's only a fixed supply that cannot be printed, confiscated, or frozen. So as a reminder, this is not a trade and it's not speculation. It's the exit as a first sovereign individual from the chessboard itself. Okay. Now, these people are I just, again, I thought that was a beautiful video. You should watch it all. But you should also think about G money, you know, in the maximilists. These maximalists, they can, they can, how do I say this, underestimate American ingenuity and innovation and the need, the American need to allow a range of players. And that's what's happening here. That's why, yeah, XRP is going to hang around and have some. utility.

But I've told you, I think Solana's going to knock them out the box and have much greater utility. They're going to win much greater as far as I'm concerned. But, all right, let me, I at least got those two in.

Let me, let me see if I can get back to the chat and scroll up from the bottom. Kyle, why are we asking about just human? As far as I know, just human is almost totally aligned with my way of thinking.

I may be wrong about that, but I think, yeah, just human. It's a beautiful thing. He's done a phenomenal job. Bitcoin is on sale. I do agree with that. If you've got the money. Yeah, Dina, I learned a lot about regions of responsibility from Kyle. We had to sit down in Dallas a couple of years ago, and it made sense.

understood more than I thought I did. Yeah. I remember when Kyle was doing his show, I was in the chat, and he was struggling to remember and come up with this. And it's like, I reminded him, yes, regions of responsibility. And later on, what I added in there was, and cooperation, to try and make the point to people, we're not just giving Russia a region of responsibility and say, hey, this is yours. No, that's bullshit. We're talking about alliances. Motherfuckers work. with us. That's why I'm saying your discernment didn't lead you to understand what was happening in the Middle East between Israel and Saudi Arabia and how Saudi Arabia acted as a stalking horse for us with these bricks motherfuckers. They were never going to do that shit. They've been working with us from the beginning. MBS has been working with us from the freaking beginning. And he's trying to transition his nation state that still has a bunch of dumb asses in it that are Islamic fundamentalist. He's trying to modernize that nation state. And he is trying to walk hand in hand with the evolution of the Middle East with Israel. That's what Donald Trump

has been trying to tell all y'all. He's not inviting Netanyahu to the White House because he's the fucking principle. That's not what we're doing. We're stepping back from that kind of stupid shit which led us to do Iraq and Afghanistan all wrong. I saw somebody criticizing W for being on that aircraft carry with that mission accomplished. No, that fucking shit was absolutely accurate. The military had done its job. It was the dumb-ass state department people of a DEI mindset of a democracy where democracy doesn't belong. Those dumbass motherfuckers who lost, they're the ones who fucked everything up. Donald Trump is backing

away from all of that. And he is saying to Saudi Arabia, you understand this region better. We're giving you this responsibility. We're in the background. You need us, let us know. He's saying to Israel, you understand this region better.

We're in the background. If you fucking need us, call us. And that's what the fuck they did. that's why the fuck Iran is being dealt with. We got to get rid of those fundamentalists, dumbasses who are a death cult. Period. And if you're being stupid like Megan Kelly, I love me some Megan Kelly, but my God, quit being stupid about this shit and talking about you. I mean, I mean, you know, I mean, shut up.

Let competent professionals do their damn job. Marco Rubio is doing his damn job. still mega keys hoping like hell we get some real action on cuba in a few weeks or a few months but uh you all got to understand y'all got to understand big daddy billy bad ass donald j trump is whipping ass and taking names and he knows because remember he's got that insurrection act sitting sitting out there as a safety he can invoke it whenever the fuck he wants because we've got all the evidence we need of infiltration. We got all the evidence we need of traitors.

We got all the fucking evidence he needs to do exactly that if shit gets out of line. And these motherfucking sleeper cells think they're going to fuck around and fuck this country up. Motherfucker, please. Now, we're ready for your motherfucking ass. We are ready for your motherfucking ass. So you might want to get the fuck out of this country. country if you like living so yeah that's uh that's where we are gang don't don't yeah don't forget we took back Panama which exactly and yeah listen

oh I just I don't have time and you know I'm not as young as I used to be but yeah that back at your bitches is pretty accurate it's pretty fucking accurate they've worked a game against us and they worked it well, Russia and China. They infiltrated all these people for decades. The reason we talk so much shit about Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, is because these fucking Russians didn't want you to talk about Stalin, Stalin, Stalin, who was much fucking, much fucking work.

Did you all hear me ask Alpha? And Alpha dodged the question, which tells you a hell of a lot. you're talking all this shit about Nazis in Ukraine. Those motherfuckers in World War II were between Stalin and Hitler. Now, the Germans are the straw that stirs the drink in Europe. Any fucking body knows that. The smarter choice, if you are between these two fucking nation states at war, what's the role with the goddamn Germans?

The fucking Russians, and everybody in Europe knows this, are fucking idiots. And did you not see what happened in the aftermath of World War II? What they did with the Iron Curtain, how they fucked around Poland, Hungary, every damn body. No. Poor, poor Russia is like, shut that shit out, man. You don't understand who these motherfuckers are. These Europeans do. And they know how stupid Vladimir Putin has been by invading Ukraine and talking all this.

You know, they're brutalizing speakers of the Russian language. Shut the fuck up. It's your stupid ass. If you bought the Nazis in Ukraine bullshit, you walk down the wrong damn street. That's a fact. There are no fucking Nazis in Ukraine. And if you bought that, are you not asking the questions? Well, those motherfuckers chose the Nazis.

These other motherfucking Ukrainians chose fucking Stalin. Are you not understanding the fucking context you're supposed to be considering this shit? Because I hear motherfuckers talking like they don't fucking understand that. You're telling on yourself if you don't understand that. So yeah, no fucking Nazis in Ukraine. It's absurd. Donald Trump, Friday, I probably pull up my very first substack, not written for badlands, just written on my own.

But I seem to remember and they're talking about Solzhenitsyn. Okay. And Donald Trump, I do believe I quoted in there talking about he wanted the maintenance of the nation state. He's been very clear. He's been very clear about this.

But he ain't down with no motherfucking communist Chinese party. No motherfucking totalitarian class in Russia that's fucking over their people. He is trying to say, to Russia, you have a tremendous commercial opportunity, and we are here to help you. Just quit being stupid as a vassal state of the Chinese. Quit. That's what the fuck he's been doing all along. And I'm here to tell you, you can think he hates on Ukraine all you want. No, no. Why the fuck do you

think Palantir is in Ukraine? Why the fuck do you think the CIA did such tremendously good work in Ukraine. Think people. That's all I'm asking. Stop with this naval gazing critique of the CIA. Legitimate critique is there, but it doesn't have to be naval gazing shit where you act like you don't fucking understand they're doing battle with the Chinese intelligence community, the Russian intelligence community, the fucking Cuban intelligence community. I mean, there's a lot of battles going on. and we've been at war for quite a long time. Quite a long time. My theory is, of course,

World War III started with Korea and that communist invasion. That was the beginning of World War III, and Donald Trump is concluding the shit. Someday people are going to figure it out, but that's what the fuck is happening. He is concluding the shit, and I mean with real authority.

And in the midst of concluding it, He's transitioning the world along with it financially. Wow. Don Serber. I put that link in there. He's talking about who shut down the Lords of London. The British Empire, City of London, Incorporated has control so much through insurance. He's taking that shit away.

I mean, come on. This boy is just world historic. And so Friday, I hope to come back here and we'll talk. talk a little bit more. And hopefully, you know, brotherhood will prevail on sit-rap. And I fully expect it will. We're going to have a good time. We're going to have some fun.

We're going to talk some shit. But that's just man-shut. That is just man-shut. It's no bigger deal than that. All right, gang. Thank you all so much for hanging in there with me. I look forward to seeing you again, one of these days. Oh, and the Mighty Gators one.
