Badlands Media - The Daily Herold: 10/13/26 - Katie Zacharia’s First Briefing, Guilfoyle Out & Trump’s Diesel Deal

Episode Date: October 13, 2026

Jon Herold opens with Katie Zacharia's first White House press briefing, and it was a rough one. Jon plays clips from her opening statement and the questions that followed, including the moment she mixed up her president and her husband, and the awkward exchange when a reporter asked where she passed the bar exam. He compares her to Karoline Leavitt and Kayleigh McEnany, floats a theory about why someone with her history of Q and devolution posts would be put front and center, and says the real test is whether her next briefing gets any better. Then it's on to Kimberly Guilfoyle's resignation after the Wall Street Journal story on her Signal messages, and Trump's post on the Houthis and Iran. From there, Jon gets into how the headlines frame Trump's diesel deal with Russia, the UN's political declaration on pandemic prevention, voter ID and the midterms, and why he expects the Democrats to try to impeach Trump again. Pull up a chair, it's a good one.

The badlands, one of the badlands, explain those badlands. That's a hell of their name. Media, I'm your host, John Harold, and kind of a slow news day, but we did have a new press secretary do her first press briefing. And boy, oh, boy, was that a rough one? Hoping it's just nerves. And she's not, like, retarded or anything. But we're going to watch a little bit of that, just so you guys can understand where coming from and i think it's fair to be critical of these people um but again hopefully just nerves

but a little rough and and the left is definitely the mainstream media is definitely capitalizing on it the decoders are all ignoring it or whatever cheerleading they're decoding stuff apparently she said something that at one point was in a queue dropper or something so trust the plan or whatever but we have that we have Kimberly gilfoyle or however you say her name she is has resigned which is notable and Trump had some interesting comments on her as well a couple of true social posts that are interesting otherwise I'm kind of gonna just rely on you guys in the chat and Maybe we'll just hang out in chat most of the day escape the matrix imagine not being critical of humans It's a weird it's a weird thing man weird thing Am I on YouTube? I am okay. We're good. I think

Just making sure okay. Let's get a quick word from a couple of our sponsors and then we'll see where the show takes us let's start with a little soft disclosure peace between the houses was never meant to last he will

call it's all from every home he will pay for this house tallow has called its banners. Housebeard oil has answered. If you want a war, I'll give you a war.

But this war won't be decided on the battlefield. It will be decided by new. Buy anything at softdisclosure.com, then choose your allegiance. Your purchase is your vote. House tallow to fight for House tallow, or Housebeard oil to stand with House Beard Oil. oil shop now and fight for your house the realm will know it's victor soft disclosure.com make sure you guys get your purchase and get your vote in whether it's house tallow or house beard oil then you can

maybe be in the next soft disclosure commercial make sure once you get your product that you send in a photo of your order number and you so we can put you in the in this next commercial it helps if you have a soft disclosure product in hand as well. Also, quick word from Keat. Guys, if you haven't yet joined the Keatlanders chat group, the Badlanders chat group. It's awesome. Badlandsmedia.com. TV slash keet.

You can send a message to myself at John Badlands 22 or to Jessica, and I would recommend you send it to Jessica and we'll get you into the chat group. They've also, we're trying to get them to make us like a permanent link that we can send around because right now the way Key works, you have to like create a new one every time you want to invite somebody and then it makes the old ones inactive. and it's just a hassle. So I think we're there in the process of doing that for us, which should make it a lot easier to get people into the group.

But badlandsmedia.combe, slash keat, send Jessica message at Jessica Storm, the number one. And, yeah, we'll get you in that chat group. All right, golden silver down a little bit from yesterday. Gold is at 4172, silver is at 59-95. Bitcoin up a little bit overall, hovering around that 83 mark. gas prices down a little bit, not much, but a little bit about a cent to $4.34. And there's no update actually on the debt number. We haven't been an update in five days.

I don't know if it normally like legs like that, but starting to turn into the Doge website where they never updated that thing. I wonder if that website is still even active. Doge.gov. no update since January 1st and our tax dollars are paying to keep this website going they could save probably like five bucks if they just canceled it on websites since they're not updating it anyway

so yeah new press secretary started we talked about her yesterday and how like she shared a bunch of cue posts and some devolution stuff and whatnot and before she even took the podium for her first press briefing she was being criticized and asked about that stuff from the mainstream media and those people suck anyway but I have a thought that I'm going to run by you guys here in a second that like kind of something I'm chewing on I'm stewing on and so uh but first of all I want to listen to a little bit of what she had to say and yes it was like a 14 minute clip of or briefing she read a statement and she took like three questions the reading of the statement part is

where I'm like, man, that was rough. That was really rough. And I get it. Like, it could be nervous. I'd probably be nervous too. I'd probably stumble and do all those things. That's totally normal. But like, this is the baseline.

This is all we have so far to gauge on. And I think it's worth, we'll take it all in. We'll absorb it. And then next time she's out there, we'll compare it and see if it gets any better. And hopefully it does. Hopefully it does. Because it'd be a, I mean, it's not great for the Trump administration to have. a press secretary who's not very good at her job. Not that I think they even need a press secretary

because the Trump administration can just message, get whatever messaging they want out from Trump himself. They don't actually need a press secretary, especially in today's day and age with technology and everything the way it is. It's just the way really for the mainstream media to like lob their slanted questions and push their narratives. And if you don't have somebody there that can like thoroughly knock them down, not going to be good. But let's take a little bit of a listen to some of her clips here. And by the way, I'm in no way trying to like cast stones because I am obviously not very good at reading or speaking good or any of those things. So I get it.

But like if you're already that way, semi-retarded like myself and you go into a position where the entire spotlight is on you and you're not like ready to be like, yeah, I'm retarded. And that's okay, guys. We can all be retarded together. You're going to have a hard time, especially in this position. to build eight to build eight large scale nuclear power plants something we've needed as the united states and something president trump promised on the campaign trail and something president trump is delivering on just like he delivers on every promise in addition to that we will be we will be do he has there is 54 billion dollars tied to the alaska lng pipeline and terminal to service

the pacific rim and sell fuel to our allies as well as $22.3 billion for a six gigawatt natural gas power facility in Texas. To Bill 8. Yeah, so stumble over her words. And I'm seeing some of the comments here. Carolyn Levit was really good at it. You know, like not that I, like I don't care. I don't worship any of the people.

Yesterday, I think it was. Phil Scarborough was like, why are you not super excited about this? It's because I don't, I don't worship like any of these people. I don't care. I'm not emotionally attached to any of these people except for maybe Trump, right? And so, like, it doesn't matter who it is or what they say or what they do or whatever. I'm going to try to remain neutral and critical the best I can because that's the only way to operate in an info war. And so stumbling over words and whatnot, the previous press secretaries that I've seen, not that I've seen many, but I don't remember Carol Lovit or Kaylee McEnany or even like going back to the Biden term.

Like those people were terrible people and awful leftists and one of them was gay. Maybe they're all, I don't know, they sucked for other reasons, but they could at least talk like Barack Obama. He sucks. But he was at least charismatic and could like formulate sentences. Joe Biden, he sucked. And he couldn't do any of those things. You know what I mean?

Like there's a difference. And then there's this one. This was kind of funny. At least she laughed at herself with this. Got a sense of humor. Okay. Second question for you. if I may, a personal question. Your family is in California, your husband, you have four children.

I'm wondering how you manage, how are you going to manage that? Caroline Levitt left because she wanted to spend more time with her family. And also, did she give you any advice on how to handle this job and the people in this room? Well, first of all, I want to give my husband an amazing shout out. We have four kids ranging from 12, 10, 8, and 6. Three of them are boys, so we have a handful. And I, I adore my family. I love them. They are my priority. I love being with my kids. The idea of not spending evenings with my kids is, kids are, is completely unacceptable. So my president, excuse me, my husband. That's a good one. My husband is out here. He's out here for the week. Okay. So she called, she makes up her president and her husband, which is kind of funny. I mean, there's a comment on the channel I wanted to read. I don't remember what it is.

Is her job to let Q out of the bag, just tuning in missed the morning briefing? I doubt it, but maybe. There's this question that I thought was kind of funny. So Trump's out getting ready to go to Alaska. I think it's like a seven-hour flight. So I'm sure we're going to get a truth storm from Trump today, maybe even some videos or someone. Who knows?

But a reporter asked Katie Zachariah where she passed the bar exam at because she's, you know, an attorney she went to pepper nine but um there's no record of her ever having passed the bar and she just said when i moved to china so i don't know if she misunderstood the question it was like hey when did you or where did you pass the bar when i moved to china like did she take the bar exam in china like i don't understand but not that this is a big deal i just thought this and whole interaction was was kind of awkward and interesting even trump like look at him he's like looking at her like what the hell did you just say what's oh that's that's pretty good um yeah i just i don't know guys it could be rough but this is the idea i was

playing with totally just an idea totally speculation speculation um just want to throw this out into the ether like with all the attacks that she got yesterday from the mainstream media about her previous posts the um you know the queue adjacent stuff that even the devolution stuff like there's like a very large contingent of people out there who have been successfully brainwashed into like whatever their preconceived notions about Q people and devolution people or whatever conspiracy theorists about who we are and what we think or whatever and I even use the term we lightly loosely but they have these ideas like the mainstream is like oh these people don't believe that there's a there's an elite group of people out there you know pedophilia and eaten people or

whatever and you know to what degree that stuff is actually true who knows or to what degree people actually believe that stuff is also up in the air but if you wanted to further just like portray that group of people as completely retarded and whatnot I mean what better way than to get somebody with a history of that kind of posts and put the put them front center and get the limelight on them and then be like wait this is everything she believes and then now watch her try to formulate sentences and read off a script Again, just throwing this out there. I'm hoping this is

just first time jitters. But who actually control? I mean, I know Trump is, it's Trump's press secretary, but who is the one that did the interview process? Because I doubt it was Trump. Who's the one that got her to like, here, President Trump, this is your next person? Was it Carolyn a little bit?

Do you remember that one, the White House press dinner or whatever? The second one, the first one they had the shooting at, and so they canceled and they rescheduled it. The second one, Trump was up there talking about how Carolyn Levit and Stephen Chung were like not allowing people to get to the president. I know that's kind of their job to be gatekeeper. And I understand that. But also the way he kind of said it was like, like these people don't let the report of

talking about my phone number so they could have direct access. I don't know. I don't know, guys. Just throwing it out there. We'll see what happens. I'm hoping for Trump's sake, like for this position to work, you need to have somebody that is sharp as a wit. and like ready to smack down the mainstream media

who's trying to push their narratives. You have to be able to combat that. And if that's not like what she's good at, then it's not a good look for Trump. Like it doesn't help Trump. You need to have somebody there to help Trump. So curious to see what, where this goes. But don't cast stones at me, guys.

I'm just throwing a theory out there. If you don't like it, that's fine. S. J. Levine 47. Trump is about appearances. This has got to be an act for a reason. It could be. What's up? C.K. felt.

I never saw bless their heart as a put down. It is a southern comment of sympathy for the hardship someone is enduring. Yeah, but unless it's just like, that person's retarded. And then bless your heart is like, I can see that as put down. Yeah, Phil Scarrow, in Mississippi, means what a moron. Medbed. I met a, or sorry, C.N Stewart, I met a Blue Blood Southern Bell at 17 years old, one of my best teenage lessons. Q-up distraction, maybe.

I don't know, I mean, this is like the 500th person that we're expecting all the disclosures to come from. So, looking forward to it, assuming that's what we get. That's a sarcasm and a joke because it's definitely not what we're going to get. Here's some breaking news from a revolver. The average woman is delusional. I just want to throw that out there yesterday. This is the outlet that has the gay diarrhea, sex, whatever, STD that's going around. And now they have this.

I think I'm going to start going to this revolver just for headlines like these. I'm not going to read the article. But the headline alone, I think, tells you everything you need to know. Here, Trump talking about the Houthis, the Houthis are behaving very badly. I thought they learned their lesson a year ago when we bombed the hell out of them and at their request stopped. They've been silent for a long time, but now they've emerged. again, probably at the behest of Iran, which is a failing nation with no Navy, no Air Force, the world's worst economy, and 301% inflation in a very nasty way hitting Saudi Arabia

and purposely trying to drive up oil prices probably prior to the U.S. elections. Not nice. Somebody should explain to them that I am not running in the elections. I've already won in a massive landslide, but I'll be there after the elections, and I will never forget President Donald J. Trump. The reason this is so interesting, and in our private group chat, and maybe he's even posts about it by now, Bernie Bright was kind of pointing to this. This is what Trump does, where he'll be like, he'll go out in front of people and give us press conferences or his campaign rallies or whatever and be like, I need you guys to vote.

Like, I'm on the ballot. I need you to do all this stuff. Like, I'm on the ballot. Pretend I'm on the ballot. Go vote, vote, vote. And then he'll come out a day or two later and it'll post something like this where it's like, somebody should remind these people that I am not on this running in this election. I'm not on the ballot. I'm already, I've already won. I'll be there after, but I am not the one that is on the ballot. And so it's just conflicting messaging. And I think it's funny.

The boom diggedy for $20. New press secretary is weird body language and Trump seems to be physically distancing himself from her. Quite literally, I find it all very curious. Yeah, I, um, I find it curious too. I'm just honestly like, I want to see her next one. and see if it gets any better and if it doesn't, I would anticipate she doesn't last very long. You just literally can't have that in the press secretary position.

Newcase, not in any context I ever saw you use the running sci-up, that it's an insult to ask God to bless someone for their suffering is a leftist lie. Brett Hour, after 100 years of women, you need to hate men. It has worn out. They're switching to men. You need to hate women. Same goal. Yeah.

them periods guys they'll they'll get you they make women do crazy things it's just life plus the bears they smell the menstruation it's just it's not good all around uh anyway let's keep going here Kimberly gilfoyle has resigned and talking about this last week the story um that came out in the wall street journal where they got a bunch of her signal messages there's some donor um that she had been talking to and promising to some lawyer i think somebody who ran for congress even at one point She had promised to get him essentially access to Trump to help him with some of whatever issues, IRS issues or something he was having. And in the messages, she's like, hey, I'll do this by like, send me money.

I have an American Express $100,000 balance that I need you to send a payment in on right now. And he like apparently made it all public. So what an idiot to do this? a former Gavin Newsom wife, former Don Jr. girlfriend, when they broke up, Trump sends her to Greece

and now she has resigned amid misconduct allegations. And if the reporting is true, if like those messages are legitimate, which, I mean, if you're going to post messages,

you better darn well make sure they're legitimate. And if they're not, you're opening yourself up to lawsuit, right, legal trouble. But she's resigned as ambassador to Greece. The White House did confirm that they asked her to step down. The most prominent allegation reported by the Wall Street Journal centers on a request.

Guilfoyle allegedly made to trump donor Eric Dieters to pay a $100,000 American Express bill shortly before her Senate confirmation hearing in 2025. According to text messages, Dieters or Deters, however you say that, provided to news outlets, Gilfoyle offered to use her connections within the administration to help his tax and legal matters. Deterre said he did not make the request. requested payment. Guilfoy's attorney disputed the authenticity of the messages and her legal team said the money she sought was for payment for previously unpaid speaking engagements and public appearances. Other reports accused Gilfoyle of accepting improper gifts and services promoting the business interests of Greek construction and energy company actor and allowing

a lobbyist associated with the company to participate in private diplomatic meetings. She was also accused of threatening a Greek official during a reception. NBC News reported that the State Department Office of Inspector General was investigating Gilfoyle and the U.S. embassy in Greece in her resignation statement on X. She thanked President Trump and Rubio for the opportunity to serve and rejected the allegations. She says the allegations are false and I tend to vigorously defend my name, my reputation, my integrity. And yet, you want to give them the benefit of the doubt too.

Like I don't know for sure if this is true. I have nothing against Kimberly. It's noteworthy that she stepped down. And the reporting at first was definitely noteworthy. I'm not going to cast stones on her either though until anything. confirmed but if true not good not good at all and I think Trump even commented on it if I can find that here quick hold on yeah here we go first let's why she wasn't a member of my family she uh I guess dated my son a long time ago but she wasn't no she uh she went to grace she was doing

her good job but but she's mr president did you speak to him personally and what did she say to you I didn't speak to her now, but she will not be there. I didn't like what I read. She's not part of my family, and I didn't like what I read. And I got to imagine Trump would know what's going on. But yeah, somebody in the chat asked, wasn't she part of the best as yet to come, crowd? A lot of people certainly implied that time and time again. I highly encourage you guys, if you ever get bored, go on Twitter.

and you can even do it to me too I'm sure I've done it I try my best not to like when you operate from a standpoint of like honestly trying to figure out what's going on and like stick to your convictions you're rarely going to contradict yourself you might be wrong now and then that that's certainly the case but you'll probably have a hard time

finding yourself like full of contradictions but if you go through especially that crowd the trust of playing crowd and just type anything in the news like if you come across something they're talking about on Twitter and some statement they're making. If you do a search for that thing, you will almost guaranteed be fined. You'll find multiple times in the past.

Like every year, they will have contradicted themselves on a stance based on the news stories. They have no idea what's going on. Kimberly dating Don Jr. was why I never thought the Patriots were really in control. H.R.B. L. 175. Remember this, J.D. Vance's brother, Corey Bowman, has a little Chinese sick girl imported for free healthcare at Sincere's. What is that? The truth is just a step too far, short, fake Trump. You think that's not really Trump? My son used to like her, used her like a dumpster. I don't know her. Oh, what about iPod, though? Anyway, we'll keep going. I think I had a couple more clips from

Trump, though. Talking about the whole Russia thing is still so stupid. The way they're trying to frame this in the mainstream media, like, look at this headline. The headline, UK and Europe recoil from Trump's diesel plan with Putin or diesel deal. The stupid thing, I keep, I, I, um, subscribed for a couple days with New York Times and Wall Street Journal because there's a couple articles I wanted to get to and I couldn't archive them. And then luckily, a couple days later, my card was compromised. And so anything I used that card for, like all my subscriptions have been canceled.

It's been great. These are one of them. And they keep allowing me to read articles and I don't have to update my payment. I mean, they keep telling me I have to, but they've been telling me that for like a month now. and I keep getting to read it. So it's great stuff. But anyway, the headline, UK and Europe are recoiling from Trump's diesel deal with Putin. Shocked by the U.S. agreement with Russia, which Ukraine is called a gift to President Putin.

Officials in Europe have coalesced around a cautious diplomatic message. If you're like the normie, right? And a lot of normies, I would assume, don't want to speak for him. But like even myself, sometimes I'll find myself going to like CNN or Politico or Wall Street Journal, New York Times. And I'm just, I'm looking at the headlines. Just like, what are they saying today? Here's a good example. I'll just go here.

Looking at the headlines. And this is proof of why it's important to actually read further into the headlines. But you read these things, and this is all that shows up. Iran fortified nuclear sites, drone attacks. If you get to like the midterm stuff, I think this work gets really ridiculous. Republicans spend big to defend Nebraska. Minnesota's a Republican punchline. Amy Klobuchar says she can fix it.

Will voters punish politicians for data sets? centers, Trump's hit the road strategy aims to stave off Republican midterm loss. A lot of us just narrative framing, right? That's exactly what this is, because if you actually read into the article, they do disclose the dilemma that nobody else is really talking about, especially not in the headlines. For European leaders, the dilemma over the past three days has been familiar. How to support Ukraine in a moment of acute diplomatic peril without triggering Mr. Trump's ire.

Complicating their response is the fact that Europe as a whole depended heavily on Russia for energy before 2022. True, but also kind of a lie with what they're about to do here. And despite cutting purchases significantly since the invasion of Ukraine, several European nations continue to buy Russian natural gas, which does not yet face full sanctions amid growing energy and security and limited supply. So they're admitting here that Europe is still also and has continued to buy Russian energy ever since the war started. And we went over this a little bit yesterday that I had my Django slave do a little digging into previous European Union purchasing of Russian oil. And ever since the war began through January

2026, they've spent roughly 200 billion, probably more than that. But over 200 billion dollars. And here they're trying to frame this whole thing as a negative spin for Trump. I mean, it just shows the disingenuousness of the mainstream medium what they're trying to do. And this is also kind of shows why it's important to read beyond just the headline. Maybe I should go back and read the actual article of the average woman is delusional. But I think we'll separate these two. I think I'm happy with that headline. Don't need to dig further.

But this one, you should be digging further because it serves my agenda. Mebets go, I'm hearing from my fuel industry, guys, that diesel will drop drastically on Friday of this week. I hope it's true. I need to refill my fuel bunker. We shall see. fracking has gotten nuts busy in the last month that's good that's very good I hope price come down I mean if if for Trump I mean you'd obviously want everything to be time to write before the midterms so we'll see incoming diesel apparently the diesel

left Russia weeks ago this is a timed event that is true I've heard that I have not like I'm not on the boat so I can't verify it with my own two eyes but the reporting is that yeah the ship's gonna arrive very soon if it might even be the day which shows coordination like the whole thing was planned the deal was planned um in advance or the ship just happened to be like going somewhere nearby and they just diverted it after the purchase who knows but what i will say i don't remember what i was going to say somebody said something in the chat and i don't remember which one talked myself out of it oh well um Dave L. 75, the goal of Space Academy is the United Federation of Planets

Form of Governing. One planet under God. Write that down. Yeah, that's, I mean, it makes total sense that that would be a goal that they'd want. Chad Force, we need an entire article to tell us women are delusional. Probably not. Trump is also buying diesel off ledger at a discount. It's like buying metals or silver on the dip. Oh, yeah, I think what I was going to say was the amount that he's buying from Russia really isn't that much.

I said this yesterday, so I'm repeating myself. But it's a narrative play. The ships were five days at least on the way, likely fuel seized as assets. Good point. Diane Leport-Clump. Patel Patriot posted the UN Plandemic Plan UpChat. Oh, it's Polly Market, though. Polymarket's mostly fake news or agenda-driven news, in my opinion.

The United Nations adopts a new global pandemic, a preparedness declaration, in a 153 to 3 vote. This sounds like it might not be fake news. Let's take a look. Yes, on October 12th, 2026, the UN General Assembly adopted the political declaration on pandemic prevention preparedness and response. That is wild.

Let's read a little bit about it. I have no idea who this last Lee is. The United Nations General Assembly adopted the thing, voting for Argentina, Israel, and the United States voted against the Declaration while New Zealand and Paraguay abstained. The text was initially due to be approved by consensus at a high-level meeting in September over objections from the United States and a few other states blocked the move, pushing it back to the General Assembly for a vote.

The political declaration, I'm not even sure on my screen, sorry guys. Adopt on a Monday, which is non-binding, calls for stronger national, regional, and international cooperation on pandemic prevention. We should read the actual PDF of this. It's an over-processing, guys. You know what, while we're waiting, we can do a quick. I think I found it. This is it. This is about AIDS.

The closest UN PDF is the final negotiated text of the declaration. The link opens a document page rather than the PDF. Use the PDF view option. What page? I'm so confused. Because you guys see this? This is the A's one. I wonder if it's like halfway down or something.

I think this is just it. If this is it, it's all about AIDS. So I don't know why. Okay. Well, what a flop. If anybody can find the actual PDF, I'd love to read through it. If anybody wants to go look that up while I'm reading our next sponsor, which is Rumble Wallet. Yeah, somebody in the chat did me a favor and go find that PDF.

John needs a final, uh, final Jeopardy music when he's document. Spillancane. I think I do have that. Here, let me pull it, put it in.

That's she said. I just don't know where I have it. Jeopardy. I need the music right now. Here we go, Jeopardy theme. I wonder if this will get me kicked off YouTube though. I'm assuming it's trademarked. I'm looking for the document.

Anybody else find it though? Nunya, thank you, John, for not referring to the chat as your Django. Still looking for this document. I'm gonna give it like one more minute. Oh, that's not it. These are old. So stupid. This looks like it though.

Maybe. English version. I don't like the date on this one though. It's like 2023, 24. I'm really curious what this says. Yeah, this is September, 2023. Political Declaration of the General Assembly, high-level meeting on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.

So whatever. I'm moving on. I'm going to find other stories. Here we go. Here's one. All right. Zelensky comment raises fears over U.S. intelligence sharing. You know what's funny.

I was going back looking at some of my old comments about this whole saga we've seen the reruns. This is like the sixth time we've gotten to this stage where there's almost peace and then somebody breaks it. I think I've even had a post yesterday. It's like this entire Russia-Ukraine conflict is just a series of each country false flagging themselves to blame the other country to get out of whatever the most recent peace deal is. And it's kind of true, but I was mostly joking. But this is like the cycle. Trump will say nice things about Zelensky. and then there'll be a peace deal thing

and then he'll say nice things about Putin and then he'll get mad at Zelensky because Zelensky isn't the one that wants peace and then they'll call for him to have another election like we've literally gone through this five or six times now and I went back and looked I should have pulled the clip up but there's a show I did in

26 and in middle of 2025 where we talked about this already like even the intelligence sharing stuff even the hitting of the refineries even the Ukraine elections we've all done we've done this before and it's another freaking rerun. But this whole intelligence sharing thing,

Ukraine leaders said that he received no early warnings before a Russian ballistic missile attack. President Trump said the U.S. continued to share intelligence. I do have a clip of Trump here where he's talking about that. A brief clip. Yeah, I didn't like what I read. Helping them get to a final answer.

We want the war ended, Peter. We are helping them, and we are sharing it. We want the war to end. So we're working with them and with Russia when getting the war to end. And what point does Trump start sharing intel with Russia if he's not already? Serious question.

It's weird too. Like there's been a weird shift of people. I don't know what it is about the midterms. Even some like former Badlands house. Anyone named names, but completely inverting their positions on everything they've talked about for years. Like they're brand on badlands, you know,

this analytical thinking Russia's an ally. What if Trump is working with Putin? And now it's like, Russia's the bad guy. And they must be stopped at all costs. It's just stuff you never expected to see. It's wild though that happens. Yesterday there was

charges. They charged another 16 people with election crimes. Department of Justice announced charges involving 16 individuals, including an illegal alien in connection with illegal voting, fraudulent voter registration, and related election crimes across the country. Case included voting by aliens in federal elections, false claims of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote or to vote,

voting on behalf of the deceased, voting multiple times in the same election, false statements on citizenship applications and unlawful procurement of citizenship. You need it's possible for somebody to get in trouble for voting multiple times if somebody voted for them. You know what I mean? Like we always talk about that. Like make sure you go and hand it in your vote in person by yourself. Like don't do the early mail about it.

There's been stories of people who will go and turn in their vote. And they'll be like, oh, you already voted. So does that person get in trouble for that? Stupid question. But Frederick Leathers, 1984 Oceania is constantly at war with either East Asia or Eurasia. The enemy changes arbitrarily. The government impulates history claiming they've always been at war with the current enemy, even if it was different previously.

The actual enemy is insignificant. What matters is the perpetual state of war, which unites the people of Oceania through nationalism, and enables the party to maintain control and the unequal distribution of wealth. That is exactly what. we've had here. Army Geddon, they are working to get the fully finalized repository copy of the resolution text formally indexed into the UN Digital Library. Well, that's stupid. Did you check out Peter Navarro's manufacturing report? I did see this. I didn't plan on talking about it,

but why not? And this is pretty cool. Made in America, again, factories, chips, plants, shipyards, and steel mills are raising across the, rising across the country, click a dot or a state to see what's being built. Nothing in North Dakota. That's depressing. Yeah, a lot of stuff going on. This is the switch theory, right? A lot of the stuff is being built. And when the stuff is like it's flip of the switch, the stuff is going to just absolutely make the economy go ballistic, hopefully. Or that's the idea anyway. Yeah, it's a lot of investment. It's great stuff. I wonder if they have totals. Largest. I like that 100 billion TSM semiconductor the SpaceX semiconductor or um yeah they're their fat tariffab facility a lot of big companies thank you for sharing that each Kyle um so in

Illinois says Nunya they do not let you cast your vote if you if technically it's already been cast and you request a mail and ballot if you don't bring into the polls you cast you can't cast about that's stupid every time Badlands talks about the sovereign alliance of China US and Russia I translated to to East Asia, Oceania, and Eurasia. I like that. My county give a second ballot to someone who's already voted unless they claim they hadn't voted as records indicate

that provided a provisional and it's not counted. Interesting. I might be out of stories, guys. I'm sorry. Like I said, slow news day. I did my best to fill it. The Democrats are already saying, I mean, they've got multiple different angles.

They're going to try to pursue on Trump with the impeachment stuff. And honestly, I expect it doesn't matter which party wins the midterms. I expect Trump to be impeached. I don't think it'll be convicted and removed, but I think they're going to try to derail the rest of his second term. That's what they're going to try to do.

And they'll get some Republicans to sign on to it. I hope that doesn't happen. Because I'm ready for like this political drama to be over with. I want the bandaid to be ripped off and us to just get rid of these corrupt politicians, fix our election system, hold all these people accountable. But whether that's actually going to happen, is TBD.

But yeah, Democrats say Trump's trade deals were corrupt. They're gearing up to investigate. Democrats on the House ways and mean Senate finance. Other committees are already lining up targets if their party wins back Congress. So dumb. Oh, here's another clip from Trump. I forgot to play.

That's a diesel deal not for us. That's being released into the world. That's not being released to us. That's a diesel deal that's going to be released into the world for the world market because the world market suffered with high prices. And when you knocked out diesel refineries, that's not a great thing. But they're not releasing that to us. They're releasing it to the entire world.

There you go. Let's see if Trump has any more posts. He does not. I'm spent. Snookon operator gifted a subscription. Thank you so much. Ash 776. If the House impeached him, I reckon the Senate would now find the votes to remove.

That would certainly be interesting. Freedom Watch, Frederick Leathers, removal of Lamar. Yeah, it's going to be so interesting, Ash. We'll see what happens. Let's see what happens. But guys, I think I'm going to wrap it up there. I don't know if anybody's after me. But I got some stuff I got to do this afternoon anyway.

I don't see anybody after me. So, yeah. Make sure you guys stick around Badlands. I think why we vote is on. tonight. As always, that'll be a great episode, especially for those of you that try to hate on Badlands for some people here saying, you know, don't vote. We have an entire show, 190-some episodes of why we vote. So good luck with that narrative. I hope you guys have a great rest today. Hit the thumbs up, whatever platform you are watching on. And I will be back tomorrow,

1 p.m. Eastern right here on The Daily Herald on Badlands. I hope we have more to talk about more interesting stuff happens. But we'll see. You guys have a great rest of your day. I'll see you all tomorrow.
