Badlands Media - The Daily Herold 3/4/26: Election Illusions, Truth Friction, and the War Narrative

Episode Date: March 4, 2026

Jon Herold opens with a skeptical look at recent Texas primary results, cautioning viewers against celebrating political wins before election integrity is actually fixed. He argues that removing disliked politicians does not necessarily mean the system itself has changed, warning that controlled outcomes can easily create the illusion of progress. Jon also dives into the ongoing Iran conflict, questioning shifting timelines and conflicting narratives about military objectives while reminding viewers how little verified information the public actually receives during wartime. The episode turns inward to address growing tensions within the truth community, particularly the rise of purity tests and attacks against anyone who questions prevailing narratives. Jon calls for intellectual honesty, emphasizing that speculation should not be treated as fact and that disagreement should lead to discussion rather than division. He argues that Badlands thrives precisely because its hosts debate openly without demanding ideological conformity. The show closes with discussion on government fraud investigations, Trump policy updates, and the importance of maintaining first principles while navigating an information war environment.

of the badlands explain those badlands that's a hell of a name well good afternoon everybody and welcome to the daily herald here on badlands media i am your host john harold the founder and owner of badlands media it's wednesday it's the day after some primary races we'll talk about some of that a little bit um see the chat's already popping off making fun of krenshaw and i get like some people think it's a little insensitive to make fun of people who lost their, you know, or got injured remain defending our country. And I do agree with that. Is that how he lost his eye?

I guess I didn't know that for sure. He lost out of war. I mean, that part sucks. Feel bad for him for that. But the rest of who Dan Crenshaw is, not a fan. But, yeah, we'll talk about some of this because I already see it. And you guys are probably going to hate my take on this. We talk about the primaries quite a bit.

and we always talk about how our elections are fraudulent. That does not change because the people we like win or the people we don't like lose. And what I see these primaries ask when you get a guy like Dan Crenshaw who like all of mega has villainized and Jasmine Crockett who everybody has villainized and she's like basically retarded. And who is the Al Green? I think did I see he lost? you can use burn cards they're your burn cards you get you get rid of a dan krenshaw replace them with some other uniparty candidate and i don't know who the guy who beat him is haven't talked to him don't know him personally haven't met him it doesn't really matter until our elections are fixed there's no reason not to assume that they are controlling who wins these primaries too and so you can get

rid of a guy that's villainized like dan krenshaw replaced it with somebody else and people like yay, we got rid of the bad guy. Our elections are just fine. And is the new guy we're getting going to be any better of a candidate in America first candidate? Or is he just going to be another uniparty candidate with a different flavor? Phil Scarbrod, in quotes here, don't you start thinking for a second you're winning because you're not?

I'm not saying that necessarily. It's just literally nothing's changed. We haven't fixed our elections. So why would we assume the results of these elections are a win for us? We're just going to get another uniparty candidate. in there and yet we're going to be excited that some of the big names that we saw lost post goreber or some elections are actually legit and some aren't that's possible but we we don't know for sure we don't know which ones we don't know if there are some elections in texas that are

legit i know some people who've come to a guard i think they're at our last guard where was our last guard cocoa beach i think it was cocoa beach they were um either i don't know I don't remember what role they played in their local elections, but I'm pretty sure it was in Texas. And they were like committee precinct chairs and stuff like that, like very active and very involved. And they did not have good things to say about Texas elections. I mean, a lot of people said that Texas's elections are just as fake as anywhere else. So why are we trusting primary results? I did see where was it.

Spetzel. Steve Toth is definitely not Uniparty. Toth has been the best rep in Texas for the past few years. Maybe. I don't know. I don't follow Texas politics that close. We'll go over the results. And I definitely could be wrong about some of my assessment here.

It's a very broad brush that I'm painting with. But I think the principle of it is on the target. I don't know. We're fighting a war against evil, not flesh. I have to remind myself that. I let my flesh do the talking. I'd be banned from every chat every day.

That's from Jess Coke. Dan M.C. Fate. This might be some good insight. He says he's in, I guess I don't know if you're in Texas. In Texas elections are largely fixed at the primary level. Toth seems okay, but no real idea yet. Yeah, I know full disclosure. I know nothing about primary elections in Texas.

So forgive me if I'm speaking out of term, but that's just that this would be how I talk about primary elections anywhere. I don't think we've seen enough movement in the election integrity front yet I do that's one of the rugs I'm on guys I do think that's coming eventually it has to it has to um I just doesn't have to been wrong about that before but I'm very hopeful in assuming that it does come and until we see that I have no reason to trust that anything's fixed it's kind of the same thought process around Trump winning just because Trump won didn't mean our elections are all of a sudden fixed and Trump keeps reminded us of that. Texas voted 95% to say no to Sharia law on the GOP ballot.

Fake ballots or not, that seems a pretty honest American number. I like that. I mean, that's a, that is pretty common sense. But again, like when you get results like that, is that just, is that leading you to believe that our elections are maybe more honest and legitimate than they actually are? because these people know what they're doing. They know how fraudulent the election. They know how fraudulent their elections.

They're the ones who steal them. And so their goal is to preserve their election fraud system. You're going to give us a few attaboys now and then. But maybe. I was tired. Do we know for a fact that nothing about elections have changed in the races that we're talking about? I'd love to hear details. That's a good point too.

You know, I guess there's definitely a degree of speculation that on my part to say that nothing's been fixed or changed, but it's also just as much speculation to say that it has been. I've seen no reason to believe that our elections are more legitimate now than they were back in 2020. Okay, we should, well, we should just give up and live in a cave, says Phil Scarborough. No, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that at all. John, I'm here for you to apologize. I'm not going to apologize to anybody.

But does I see you're in a hospital or something? Are you doing okay, elf boy? Tooth put forward the best election integrity legislation in the country. Rhinos didn't approve. That's awesome. 34 and we'll wake up. Nashville will be there.

Awesome. 34 days. Ty. Oh, I do have a couple of rants from yesterday. I forgot to read through. We'll go through those this morning, but we'll begin the show here before we go on. This will go a lot easier if everybody would just learn to rationalize harder.

Yeah. I'm with you there. election fraud can be overwhelmed as Donald J. Trump told us, but some badlands host and I. Yeah, you know, that's, um, there's definitely some friction on that topic. Definitely. Like some people think, yeah, we have to vote. Otherwise we, you know, we're just giving, giving them the win. Some people don't feel that way.

Some people think it doesn't matter. I'm torn from being honest. I don't know. I don't know. I'm a poll watcher and a poll worker here in Heinz County, Mississippi. Donnie should really volunteer to be wanted and learn the process. I really should. That's a good idea.

Only I had the time. Yeah, I might try to do that. But I don't know. Donald Trump has said that. He's also said other things that we know to be Saabs. We don't know when he's stuck in Saibs. He also said to take the vaccine, right? It's the tough part about navigating this.

Are we ever going to be able to trust, says dragon 45 apparently not i don't know is that possible are we going to get to a point where we can trust our elections i don't know i know we haven't got there now but maybe someday i don't know what that looks like a bass burns no it doesn't make me think they're any more real john that was a party specific ballot i'm totally on board with the continued 2020 beyond shit election system yeah come on john let's all quit and get a box of popcorn and start watching you know what they say we're in a movie l o l yeah not doing that anyway okay real quick let's get the rants from you yesterday and we'll get through some sponsors.

Lee Walden said, John, what's the promo code for Gart virtual tickets? Right now, there is no promo code. They're just cheaper now than they will be after March 15th. So you guys got a few days to get those tickets. And get your in-person or virtual tickets if you plan on attending. We may go with some single-day tickets as we get a little closer. Ping-poo, my V-Sy. What?

my Vsina, Vizina? Are you trying to say vagina or something? Is in the news. Rocket man is not in the news. Putin is not the news. Canada is in the news. U.K. is not the news. W.F. is not the news.

It's all I ran. But I do have some other topics we'll get to. Lee Walden, let's get new Badlands T-shirts and have the discombulator in the title. Yeah, we're going to, we have a couple things in the works. Patrick Manuel, John, what's your get? DM me on Twitter and I'll hook you up. All right. do you know which voting machines they use in my county who prints a ballots who your election clerk is or election commissioners you should know these things i do actually have those written down somewhere we just recently switched some of those but you're right i don't know them off like like at the back of my hand like i should

chris will never trust our elections very probably not but you know if we get to a point where chris does that things have definitely changed we need the save act the outlaw voting machines act and clean up the voter rolls act, then maybe elections won't be fake. Do you think we need to get rid of the people in government that are beneficiaries of fraudulent elections first? Or do we just let them slowly get weeded out through the fixed elections if we ever get them? How well that do you really know the back of your hand, though? Not as well as I should also. Do people actually spend a lot of time looking at the back of their hands to see, like to study them?

could you pick your hand out of a lineup? I have a feeling that not everybody would be able to. I have a couple scars that I would. Save act after 26 is bull crap. That's the thing. We're getting to a point here where even if we do get the save act, there may not be enough time to get some of it implemented. It seems pissed off today.

I'm not pissed off. I'm a little tired. Like I, two nights, it was not last night, but the night before. I said it didn't sleep great. I just couldn't fall asleep. last night I could sleep better but considering I was like wanting to go to bed way earlier like 11, 1130 and I couldn't fall asleep until probably closer to one. So I'm still a little tired.

Still catching up. But no, I'm in a pretty good mood. Pretty good mood. A little busy but good. Everyone in office now needs to go and at the very least never be able to hold office again. I love that. Spezl, my county clerk actually took my call and talked with me for 25 minutes during on election day and the last cycle. I felt a little guilty taking so much of her time on election day.

Were you out again? Spetzel, I always forget. I know I asked this before. But anyway, let's get some sponsors talked about here because we got some great ones. Some might say the best ones. People can't believe how awesome our sponsors are. Everybody's saying it. Nobody can believe it was possible.

A van man, you know about Van Man taking down big toothpaste with all natural oral care, right? Van Man's tooth powder is loaded with minerals like egg shells and bone and combined with pulling oils and peppermint aloe mouth rinse. It's truly the ultimate fluoride-free dental hygiene bundle that saves you 25% off the individual prices. And the van never stops introducing Van Man's new pearl eye cream and sweet onion shampoo. Head on over to badlandsmedia.tv slash van man to see what's new. That's badlandsmedia.tv slash van man. ZigZack in the check says, you need some ashwaganda gummies drawn.

I don't know what that is, but I think I agree with you. Do we consider Leprocon BB as a sponsor now? No, we do not. Greg Abbott is as deep state as they get, and he got a lot of the votes. Was he Trump endorsed, though? I don't remember.

Trump was going through a whole list of people on his true social that he, like, got primary endorsement wins on. Tamarack Garden is another one of our sponsors today. Some great folks over there.

Like I said, great people. Lee Walden, John, it seems like Devolution E.O. 13-849.

This is a $5 rant. So thank you, Lee. I think you meant 13-848. Might take effect if Trump commits a declaration of national security emergency. What do you think? Yeah, that's not how that executive order works. I went over this the other day when we got that story. about the potential executive order, the draft order that Trump has on his desk.

But no, it's not, it's executive order 13-8 rate is static. It's there. As long as it gets continued every year, doesn't need to be like specially invoked necessarily to give it any powers. It's already got the powers. Doc Chambers, I saw that he lost. Somebody to reach out, though. I might still interview him.

I'm also looking to get Pat Harrigan on and I may have another end to Tim Burchard. One of these days, I'm going to get Tim Burchett on and ask him why we should be paying our taxes. But alas, I wait and struggle. Doge, let's check this out. Where does my shirt screen? No update on the Doge website. No surprise there. Silver right now is at 8323.

gold is at 50,100. Bitcoin is kind of popping off a little bit, up over 73,000. He's in the 60s for what seemed like a while, a month or two. And it was kind of fun. I was kind of like trading the highs and lows on Bitcoin for a little bit. Like when you get up to 69, I'd sell. And then when it'd go down to about the 64, 65 range, because it seemed to be like going up and down between those ranges for a little bit. And then I, I'd sell it or I'd buy again at like 64. and then go up to 69. I'm not talking like a lot of money here, but, you know, make a couple hundred bucks every trade.

It was fun. And then when I sold it like 69, again, like my little trading amount, it just kept going up. I was like, dang it. Oh, well. But I still hold more that I just don't touch. But yeah, badlandsmedia.

That TV slash river. Badlandsmedia, badlandsgold.com for your gold and silver needs. no update on the presidential white house website all right let's look at um let's look at some election results again i am not from texas i'm pretty far away from texas i don't know the ins and outs of texas politics but uh definitely a couple big names no maybe we'll just go to the story two incumbent members of congress were forced out by their own party voters tuesday as Rep. Dan Crenshaw lost his Republican primary, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett fell in her bid for the Democratic Senate nomination. Couldn't have happened to finer folks.

Crenshaw, the only GOP House incumbent on the ballot without President Trump's endorsement was unseeded after state rep Steve Toff campaigned on closer alignment with the mega agenda and secured backing from Senator 10 Cruz. On the Democratic side, Crockett lost after a combative final stretch that included dueling voter suppression. Claims with Tala Rico capturing enough support to avoid a runoff and advance for the general election We're about to take back Texas Tala Rico said I mean we're not just going to trying to win an election We're trying to fundamentally change our politics and it's working I don't know if it's working that well but yeah, it's fun to see Democrats complain about voter suppression or election integrity and whatnot when they lose so I support I support

any Democrat who wants to claim that and get to the bottom of it. Phil Scarborough, Doge did post a bunch of updates yesterday on their X feed. They do that. I just like to monitor their website and almost make fun of how little they and how inefficient the website is because they never update it. Last update was January 1st. It's been over two months. Two small wins. Celebrate them when you get them.

Yeah, I mean, hey, no love loss. we can celebrate that they're gone, that those two particular people we don't like are going to be gone because that's great, while also understanding. And that's why I talk like I do and talk about the things I talk about is while there are good things happening, there are also reality and other good,

bad things happening that we should probably just keep our eyes on both. Use some peripheral vision, fam. That's all I'm asking. PG Corgan, every time I go to the store and use cash at the self-checkout, I make sure one penny of changes do, and it always spits out a nickel. Big gains. Oh my gosh, is that true? You can profit four cents per transaction that way. Walbury Forge, we have Vogue now, Vance Office of Government Efficiency. Yeah, Rebel Nader, reality is no place in the narrative. I've been told that. People don't like reality. Stuff with the Iran War, I don't want to like go too much. into the Iran war. There hasn't been a ton of change.

There's some things. We'll get there when we get there. I don't even know. My tabs aren't really in great order today. I guess they're kind of coming up here. Let's do this one first. Judicial Watch sues Department of War for DARPA gain of function records before COVID. This is one of those narratives, guys, that needs to be resolved at some point.

It has to. We need to force this to be resolved. And luckily, Judicial Watch, who, they file lawsuits all of it. I still do a great job. They keep some of these narratives relevant. And they work pretty hand in hand, I would say, with just the news. So, I mean, it's speculation here. But it wouldn't surprise me if they were coordinating some of these things in these lawsuits.

But very curious to see what they get from this. Judicial Watch Monday filed a Freedom of Information Act against the U.S. Department of War seeking records related to biodefense and gain of function funding proposals submitted to DARPA. Prior to COVID. Pay what you owe plus one set. and it won't spit out the extra penny you put in. That's crazy. Elfo, I just sat here and thought,

the last voice I hear on the service will be that of John Harold, there's no got. Did I miss what you said you're in the hospital? Why? What's going on? I mean, you wouldn't want it any other way, would you? Considering how close of a relationship we have? If it's a blood pressure thing,

I can do my best to piss you off today. See if we can speed things along. Just messing with you, man. Obviously, hope you're doing well. But let me know. Again, what's going on with you in the chat? Curious. Let's see what else we got for you.

We have U.S. Ecuadorian forces launch joint operations against narco terrorists. Ecuadorian and U.S. military forces carried out coordinated operations on Tuesday, targeting designated terrorist organizations in Ecuador, according to U.S. Southern Command, demonstrate a shared commitment across Latin America and the Caribbean. So while we're doing the Iran thing, we're also doing the narco thing. T.J. Kibbles, I don't know what anyone thought ending forever wars. is going to look like or how long it would take, but this is it, and you're in it until it's done. Yeah, I mean, I know it is what it is, and we can't, like, get the war to stop ourselves

necessarily, but it's also, we don't know if it had to be this way. We don't know. We don't know what we don't know because we're not getting the truth. As unfortunate as that is. But a clean slate globally would be cool, Spetzel. I agree. It does seem that's what they're doing, at least in a lot of. our hemisphere. Elf boy stage four COPD with emphysema and bronchitis. Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry to

hear that man. Elf boy prayers to you. Reports Iran's signals willingness for CIA talk CIA arms Kurdish forces. Iran's ministry of intelligence made an indirect offer to the CIA to discuss ending the conflict through a third country's spy agency. According to the New York Times, I bet it was based on anonymous sources. Didn't even go look, but I had to bet. I bet it is. Iran's semi-official Tasnim agency called the report absolute falsehood and psychological warfare. U.S. officials questioned its seriousness. Yeah, so how's this even a story? Severally multiple sources told CNN that the CIA's arming Iranian Kurdish forces to foster an uprising inside Iran. Trump admin has discussed providing military support. This is classic

color revolution stuff like when we talk about color revolutions and we have in the past like i think that's what they attempted to do here and to a degree was moderately successful back in 2020 against trump you know i've always said that we're doing a counter color revolution and that's what like trump's running but when we talk about the color revolutions in eastern europe we never talk about those is like a good thing but are we talking about this specific color revolution is this a good one because our guy's doing it. Because again, if you're going to operate on your principles, principles shouldn't change because of your side or your guy being the one doing the thing.

It's not how it works. One more real quick thing. And then we'll probably do some more. We'll do some Trump true social posts, some other probably war-related things. House Oversight Committee concludes that Tim Wall's administration knew of fraud and failed to act. senior Minnesota government officials, including Governor Tim Walls and Attorney General Keith Ellison, were aware of claims of widespread fraud in the state's federally funded welfare programs for years, but failed to act other than to retaliate against whistleblowers. The House Oversight Committee concluded,

both Walls and Ellison are scheduled to testify before the committee on Wednesday at 10 a.m. I wonder if they're, won't they have already testified then? Have they been testifying? Did I miss that on the social webs? They're likely to face questions from the committee about fraud schemes. Let me see if there's anything out here. Hold for processing. I bet there's some great clips from our social media influencers in Congress. Yeah, we've got a three minute of video from Jim Jordan. Might as well watch it.

The payments are restarted. Why didn't you tell the truth about why you restarted the payments? Well, Chairman, we did tell you. And feeding our future grew because of the pandemic. And ask that question. I said, why didn't you tell you? tell the truth about why you restarted the payments. The payments stopped because there were concerns, obviously.

He wouldn't stop the payments. Then they restarted a month later. What was the reason for restarting the payments? My understanding was the agency believed that the court had required them to make those payments. And that was false, wasn't it? You repeated that. You said that, didn't you? I don't think.

You said the reason you restarted is because the court ordered you to do so. Is that right? I don't believe that is settled yet. best of my knowledge well i think it is because the court did something that i just don't i don't know if i've ever seen it they issued a statement saying you were wrong in what you were saying this is from the court it says feeding our future versus minnesota department education correcting reports and statements by governor tim walls concerning orders issued by the courts here's what the judge says governor tim walls told the media that the minnesota

department of education attempted in payments to f o fos because does a possible fraud, but that Judge Guthman ordered payments to continue in April 2021. Next sentence, that is false. So you said something wasn't true. He further states this, Judge Guthman, the court says this. Judge Guthman never ordered the Department of Education to resume payments defeating our future in April 2021 or at any other time. So I want to know, why didn't you tell the truth? Congressman, the attorneys at the Department of Education interpreted that differently. Both of those judges are no longer on the bench. And I think that interpretation. The very first sentence, the first seven words, this is not some

unnamed source talking to the New York Times. This is not some anonymous source talking to whatever your Minnesota Star Tribune or whatever your paper is. This is the court speaking. First sentence, first seven words. Due to inaccurate statements by the governor, Ramsey County District Court judge has issued and authorized that this following news released. That's pretty straightforward. So the court's lying? I can't tell you, Congressman. But the interpretation is.

Somebody's lying. I have a feeling like all these people are lying. Maybe that's just me. But I feel like that is the one thing you need on your resume to be in government is like a liar. You know? Jim Jordan, I mean, he, boy, boy, boy, boy, is he love his. exposure ops and his exposure hearings. But boy, oh boy, does he never actually do anything about them? It's so annoying. But we'll listen to a little bit more. There's like a minute left,

and then there's a comment in the chat I want to address. Because you can't say the court ordered you to restart the payments. And then the court says we didn't order you to restart the payments. So either you're lying or the court's line. And I'm just asking you, which one is it? I just simply know what the attorneys at the agency believed that it was a misinterpretation and i would note that those things you were trying to hide behind the court governor could that maybe be the reason why you issued the statements you did and why the court had to do something you never see done before the issue of press statement saying you're wrong the governor is wrong his statement is their words not mine false all right you get it fraud tim lied

still more fraud vance saved day all happy tax revolt that's that's my commentary on that entire comment in the chat here from Richard Roar our resident trust the planner he says we're responsible to educate the normies about the plan for overthrowing America it's named to the plan it's taking so long because we're becoming normies instead of teaching them there's an interesting thing that happened yesterday and there's again even disagreement within badlands about this very topic that neighbor's dog is shooting in my front yard right now you a dog he low old guy old guy, but boy, does, does he think he, he runs this place because he shits all over the yard.

I don't even shit in my yard as much as he does. And it's my yard. It's ridiculous. Anyway, there's some disagreement in badlands even about, about this, which is great. We love the friction. The group we have right now is like, really, we're, we're all good friends. Like, that's number one. But number two, we're like, we're all mentally strong enough to handle the disagreement without,

devolving into personal attacks and i mean even though g money sometimes likes to do that as is who g money is but yesterday the one of the long time cue accounts uh julian's rum came out with the post that was a little you know little black pill i think and i know julian uh he was on bad lans he to show with Bernie Bright for a little bit. Really good dude. Young guy. He's got a young family. And he doesn't,

he certainly doesn't like the state of the Q movement. That he kind of helped create. He's one of the biggest accounts there at the beginning, or at least so I'm told. But everybody calls him like an OG. And it's just, it's weird right now. And I've been talking the past.

couple days about the purity tests. Like, so what you said there, Rich Roror, it's like our job is to educate the norm is about the plan. It's a plan that you can't actually describe because you don't know what the plan is yourself. You're speculating that there is a plan and you think you know what it is. That's fine. We've gone over that. And you want to wake up the normies.

But what the Q movement is doing right now and not, I don't want to paint with too broad of a brush, not everybody. It's just like the behavior I'm kind of seeing is. They are almost attacking anybody. And I mean it like attacking. There are accounts attacking. I've been attacked by people. And now, granted, some of the people that are attacking me have been attacking me in Badlands for literally years.

Very hot and heavy the last year or so. But it's nothing new. It's not new behavior. But I'm seeing it community wide. Like they're attacking people who disagree that there is something bigger. going on right they're attacking people who don't want to participate in that group think i want to think for themselves and maybe some people black pill or whatever with the stated goal of like wanting to wake up the normies what are you guys doing like you can't say good ridens to people

like that if your goal is to wake up more people good rates we don't need them if they just don't understand what's going on if they can't understand what's going on we don't they're just they're paid shills what is that That is the opposite of trying to wake people up. Where's like the discourse? Where's like, where's the, Hey man,

let's just, let's have a discussion about it. Let's see what, where we disagree and why you're feeling the way you're feeling. That's none of that. No, it's, he's the enemy now.

Do you guys recognize that behavior? Isn't that weird? And like, Julian's rum, you know, his post was kind of critical of the, the cult like behavior of the, the Q,

community as like how it's gone and not everybody again I don't want to paint with too broad of a brush but then for him to be attacked as like in a fashion that represents a cult like behavior like that's weird

super weird I don't know this Iran situation is broken some people broken brains just a national reaction against the thought of war yeah Julian is is not getting cash I guess I don't know that a fact, but I'm pretty sure I know the guy and I don't think he'd do that.

That's a common tactic for people who like, when when somebody tries to think critically or maybe something's changed in his personal life and he, you know, he can't, he can't take what he's seen anymore and he just doesn't trust the plan anymore because if we're being honest, like there's a lot of things that if you are a 100% we're watching a movie, trust the plan type type person and a lot of the things that you've been told we're going to happen haven't happened repeatedly for years like eventually that's going to wear on you and you're going to like yeah i'm out like the the most common tactic from people when that kind of behavior arises arises is that person's taking money that person's the enemy now don't through eagamund did get caught taking money for post

That's hilarious. That does exist out there. I don't think Julian's that kind of guy. I really don't. And I'm not a perfect judge of character. I've been burned a time or two. So you don't take my word on it. But I also don't think we need to be so quick to jump down people's throat.

Because the way he's feeling, like I know he's a big account. He's a former Q account and all those things. And people want to almost be mad at him for breaking ranks. But he is feeling the way that a lot of people outside of our bubble are feeling. Like that's a real feeling. You're not going to wake up any more normies by attacking those people. I'm telling you that. It's ridiculous.

Bass Burns. Patel Pager's like the old guy in the burbs. He'll staple the dog's ass shut. I just, you know, he's a cute dog. He doesn't pick up after himself. And neither do his owners.

Like his owners don't come to my yard to pick up the dog. They just let the dog out. He like wanders. He's older. He like doesn't run away. And he'll just go wherever he wants to go. And then I'm not going to pick it up. So, I mean, if anything, it's like fertilizer for the front yard.

But that bitch, he has his right to his opinion, but people also have the right to voice theirs and response. We either have free speech or we don't. Yeah, if people want to say whatever they want to say about Julian's rum without knowing the guy, that's fine. But had Julian come out and said like all the pro Q things, we'd been celebrated, you've been put on a pedestal, it would have been shared around everywhere.

all the things, but because he doesn't agree, he's called a paid infiltrator. I just don't think that's fair. And especially like, I don't know how to word this. Because if we're being honest with ourselves, none of us actually know what's going on. There's a high, high degree of speculation with most things. Okay. And so when you say to somebody like, you wouldn't get that way if you just understood what was going on, you have to acknowledge that you also don't actually understand what's going on.

Like you are speculating even when you say that. Like a lot of the things you talk about are speculation. Maybe they're true and eventually you'll get proven right on that. Like some of the stuff like with devolution, it's a theory. I haven't proven right on it yet. Like you can't, you're attacking somebody for just not understanding when the things that you're talking about. You technically can't claim that you understand either. You can't claim it as fact.

Do you understand what I'm saying? Am I wording this the right way? Because without acknowledging that you're speculating too, which a lot of people won't do that, you're attacking somebody for not agreeing with your speculation. That's how I see it. All I can say, John, is the love of money can be very strong. Yeah, but why are we thinking that Julian is taking money for posting that?

Has anybody seen proof of that? Or is that just the standard response to people who break ranks? Thank you, Bundy. Some of the QMovinar practicing addition by division, isolate people to become a new gatekeepers of info. Don't disparage others to gain followers, moral corruption, lack of ethics. I agree with you there. Thank you, Bundy.

Rebel Nader, I train my dog to poop in the neighbors yard. See, when I do get a dog, when we get a dog here, I'm doing the same thing. I'm going to train it to poop by, like a flag or something or a Nerf bullet. I'm going to start putting that bullet in the neighbor's yard. I have poop over there all the time. A badlands debate show like CNN's crossfire in the 80s and 90s opposite sides debate.

Yeah. I don't know. I mean, I love the debates we have here in Badlands because even though we disagree, we don't evolve into like ridiculousness and name calling all that stuff most of the times. I don't know if we get that. if there's like there's this is what's broken with the country I think like one of the things that's broken is we don't know how to actually have discourse and debate anymore it's

basically but you kind of proved it with evolution see it in those eyes again maybe yeah I mean I think I did a lot of documents I can point to but if again I'm willing to be honest with myself and still say that it it has technically not been proven yet it's it's a it's a theory and I've been saying it the whole time although though I'm very confident. Sometimes my, but there are people at Badlands who do the exact same thing. Yes,

I know there are. Again, Badlands, it's funny. Like yesterday, my video from a couple days ago got shared, you know, just a clip of it.

And people were attacking that and my thought process. And somebody was like taking the video grok. They were taking Grock in the video and like, hey, if a post from a, a channel like a business channel or whatever, does it speak for everybody at Badlands? Like they were trying to.

say that because I have an opinion about something that everybody in Badlands has to share that opinion. It's the most retarded thing I've ever seen. None of us share the same opinions about anything. It's the beauty of Badlands. We don't agree. And I will never speak on behalf of anybody at Badlands. Badlands will not speak on behalf of them. And they won't speak for me or Badlands either. Like, it's a platform. So stupid. John, it is speculation. I also say, Julian may be sick of war as we all are. I just think it's, it's ridiculous to attack somebody for feeling that way because it's an honest feeling. Anyway, I'm sorry for the detour there.

I did not plan on going on that route. Let's talk about some Trump true social posts. This is a fun one. For those who have, you know, maybe gotten a little sick of the, who don't trust the plan as hard as everybody else. This would be a fun one. Effective immediately, I've ordered the United States develop. and finance corporation, DFC, to provide at a very reasonable price, political risk insurance, and guarantees for the financial security of all maritime trade, especially energy traveling

through the Gulf. This will be available to all shipping lines. If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Ormuz as soon as possible, no matter what. The United States will ensure the free flow of energy to the world. The United States economic and military might is the greatest on earth. More actions to come. Thank you for attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.

So the United States government is insuring all maritime trade, all maritime trade. Like we can't even get our health insurance situation figured out here domestically, but we're going to give insurance to all maritime trade. That's wild. I'm not saying I don't disagree. We're like, you don't want that stuff to, you don't want to see, like, energy and trade and stuff get cut off. That would be a bad thing.

I get why they're doing it. But it's just a funny, like that, that's going to be an attack vector against them, unfortunately. Another post, since the launch of Operation Epic Fury, more than 9,000 Americans have safely returned.

Or I'm at home from the Middle East. If you're a citizen in the Middle East and you want to come home, please register with the state department at step. Dot state.gov. Is that a real website? Step. State. It is. It's a real website. Why is it not populated as a link there? Probably the period at the end. The department will identify where you are, provide travel options for you.

We are already chartering flights free of charge and booking commercial options. Anyway, I guess I don't need to read the rest of that. But if you are watching the show and you happen to be a State Department employee or somebody overseas and you want to come home, that's your time to do so. This was funny. Trump posted this picture of this guy at the White House. I got to imagine this is an old picture. Did he meet? Did they meet again?

Did he come to the White House again? Or is this the picture he had? Last time he's in there, I really don't remember. But I thought it was funny that he posted again. We have this, the Genius Act. This is cool one. The Genius Act is being threatened and undermined by the banks, and that is unacceptable. We are not going to allow it.

The United States needs to get market structure done ASAP. Americans should earn more money on their money. The banks are hitting record profits, and we are not going to allow them to undermine our powerful crypto agenda. Here we go. That will end up going to China and other countries if we don't get the Clarity Act taken care of. The Genius Act was the USA's first big step

to make the United States the crypto capital of the world, and getting the Clarity Act done is the next step. To finish the job, and most importantly, this big and powerful industry in our country. The banks should not be trying to undercut the GiniS Act or hold the Clarity Act hostage. They need to make a good deal with the crypto industry because that's what's in the best interest of the American people. This industry cannot be taken from the people of America when it is so close to becoming truly successful. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Got some crypto movement. Maybe that's why Bitcoin's up so much. Love it. Okay. What makes Badline so great is the fact that it's an eclectic group of host and the friction is real and the salt is real but they're all still friends and several yeah I mean you think about it we're just like

we are the vision of America the founder's always intended I'm pretty sure that's what Mokers is trying to say there and I think I agree Jimmy money has a woody all over that Donald J. Trump host yeah he does oh he shared it we know Trump is trolling the Somali pirates oh yeah there's a great video check this out it's like a boat a big boat

to the oh man look at that explosion boom and now I'm not saying this is AI. This might be real. But does anybody tried like creating a video like this in AI to see if they can make a realistic looking? And when I say

realistic looking, I mean, in terms of what this looks like. Does anybody try doing that? Doesn't it look like it's already on fire? This is why guys, this is why we can't do a Gart Cruz. This right here. Just never know. You're going to be sitting there sunbathing on the side of

on the deck of the cruise ship. And all of a sudden you're going to find yourself from the middle of a naval battle and get him blown up by a submarine periscope down version can't do it can't do it um these are the four people who have lost their lives i think there's there's two more that we don't have confirmation on oh shoot come on i'm not gonna hang it show who they are quick before well no what i'm just going to get the archive version of this i can show you guys as said you know obviously pray for them and their family never want to see this no trump doesn't want to see this either.

This is unfortunate. Oh, they don't even have the picture on there anymore. What the heck? Anyway, Captain Cody Cork, 35, Sergeant First Class, Noah to Gens, 42. Sergeant First Class Nicole Armour, 39, and Sergeant De Clan Cody, 20. Yeah, that's young. That's too bad. Let's break over, John.

I'll get my Red Castle back this week. Looks like you have your Red Castle. Thank you. I hope our real military does not. have to deal with this low-grade bullshit, right? John, you're a damn landlubber. I'm a landliver. Matt Trump, looking forward to J.B. White on sit rep tomorrow to continue Monday

debate with Alpha, Cancon, about Iran. Yeah, if you guys didn't watch the Y Chrome show on Monday, when I sent you it, when I raided you guys over there, J.B. was like mid one of his 200 MFers. Like, he wouldn't stop saying it was so funny. but J.B. Again, love him. Love him. He's a great guy. He does not agree with me or others on Badlands about everything.

And that's okay. There have been people in the past that they're no longer with us now. But this is a great example of why I think like the unit we have right now is pretty strong. Compared to like in the past. There was a certain individual who for years was like you've got to get rid of J.B. You just got to get rid of him. This is ridiculous. He's being retarded. Like saying these things like we don't agree with that. We got to get rid of him. I was like it doesn't matter if we agree with him or not. That does not matter. J.B. believes what he believes. I know he's not

lying intentionally. And I disagree with him. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Like we're bros. He's going to be wrong. I'm going to be wrong. Other people are going to be wrong. He ain't going nowhere. Him or Cam aren't going nowhere because I need my tokens. That's what that's the real reason but regardless of his skin color he's not going anywhere battle's to be born if everybody agreed yeah yeah he's our token normie guys not our token black guy

you guys are such racist yeah anyway jb white is going on sit rep tomorrow and that it's going to be a fun fun show I cannot wait for that there's a lot of talk about missiles and them being depleted which I don't know if you can believe any of these numbers of stories

but both sides are basically accusing the other side of almost being out of their missiles. Talk about Psiops. Among the most crucial open questions in the ongoing Operation Epic Theory or perhaps the most pressing issue is which warring side will outlast the other in terms of maintaining missile and interceptor missiles or numbers. And for the U.S. side, this means enough to achieve the somewhat ambiguous military objectives. As Mr. Iran is now claiming it has only thus far expended its older and aging stockpile, international press reports are saying that they're almost out they have a couple days left Pete Higgs out earlier Wednesday suggested the campaign could extend to eight weeks so again

let's just be honest with ourselves we don't have to get upset about this but we were told is just like a military operation it's all it is just a military operation and if you want to still call it that that's fine whatever like just a couple days we're going to do a couple strikes and get out of there and then it's like okay well Trump comes out about four weeks I could be shorter it can be longer and now like there's talk of eight weeks like we really don't know it could be done today it could be done months from now we don't know but yet so many people are defending a position about something that they don't know it's ridiculous i don't know it's not you when i talk about

these people i don't want to upset you guys in the chat because i'm not talking about you guys so maybe it's pointless to even talk about it that's the stuff i encounter on a day-to-day basis Anyway, the number of Iranian ballistic missiles This launches is declining and at current range Tehran only has several more days of firepower from them according to a Western official. Still, that decline might also be because Iran is holding back missiles so its operations can last longer.

The officials that we don't know. We don't know. Again, so much we don't know. I already talked about the story. I think I did. Tehran denied making CIA outreach. Let's see that I'll be all the stories I got. Here's from Rahim Qasam real quick. The anti-Bannon op. I kind of know where it's coming from now.

Last week, Cornyn's campaign chief, Chris Lissavita, confirmed in text to Adam Wren at Politico that he was behind the social media op against Bannon because Bannon was backing Paxton. Today, Adam Wren at Politico runs an anonymous source claim from a GOP strategist close to the White House trying to boost Cornyn. Do you wonder who that could be? I think there's definitely more to the

Bannon story. But the one thing I'm thankful of the Iran War for is that the Epstein stuff has definitely subsided a little bit. A lot of the variations depend on the civilian population of Iran's response after these initial salvos. That's a great point. Great point. John does battle on

missiles? No, we don't. Not yet anyway. Once we get our own compound, or thoroughly on like a secluded area, something we can defect from, you know, the United States and become our own country, Badlandia, then maybe we'll start enriching uranium and pursuing ballistic missiles and stuff.

But until then, there's no point in doing any of that. E.H. Kyle, John, I don't see any issue with Julian Rum's statement that there is a cult-like issue within Q. Anon's in the truth community, there are big issues within it, infiltrators running ops and black ops pillars. Yeah. I mean, it's just funny. He calls it out and then he gets, like, attacked in very cult-like fashion.

Silly stuff. Silly stuff. And it's, and I'll say this too, like, it's unfortunate, but it's the truth, guys. A lot of the attacks against Badlands have come from the Q community. Like dating back before even Badlands started. Couple rants here. Q of Swords, if you replace the idea of foreign wars with global freedom and peace where in every country's peace and prosperity depends on and is intertwined with all other

countries peace and prosperity how do you feel i mean it sounds great i love that idea but does that mean i have to like go around and be world police to make sure that everybody else's global peace and security because that's i don't love that badlands missile um soft exploder probably the soft squirder now that we know there's a a missile term that they use called the squirder like why would we not name all of our missiles that salbish uh for elf boy nac for copd thank you john and thank you salvish yeah prayers to pursue elf boy man try some of the nac a ob 22 nothing gets people more pissed off than when you ask what are your sources yeah ask what are your sources or okay but like none of that's been confirmed right that's can you acknowledge that's

speculation doesn't matter how i don't even i'm i'm so not good with words i don't even know the right word doesn't matter how adamantly or sternly or forcefully you say something repeatedly like you can say something super you know as if like you're the source of authority on it if it's still speculation it's still speculation like a lot of this like when it comes to the debate over what happened in 2016 and 2024 with the elections how to trump win how did we you know, stop the steel, all those things. We still don't have actual answers for any of that. We believe there are some stories out there and some things we, you know,

maybe there's some small, minor pieces of circumstantial evidence pointing to something that could kind of, like, support some ideas about what happened then, but it's still speculation at this point. We do not have confirmation on any of that. And this is what I'm talking about. Like you can, you can claim that stuff and talk about that stuff. But you're not, you can't call yourself a source, like an authoritative source on that topic because it's not confirmed.

And then to get mad at people who don't agree with you and say good riddance and stuff, like that's, that's not okay. Or maybe it's just the differences of approach. But hey, it is what it is. I follow Q since 11, 2017, and John DeVillard's since OG. Yeah. Yeah. a K-20 Blazer.

I'm so ancient that when I went to college, we were encouraged to debate. No tolerance for any position, but the one I've been told to adopt. It makes sense why we get attacked so often by the Q crowd. Not all the Q crowd. I'm not like, again, try not to paint with a broad brush, but the people who do attack us, they all are or just so happen to be the Q crowd. they're trying to box you in and kind of feed you into that cult-like mentality. And we are preaching constantly.

Think for yourself. Research stuff yourself. Disagree with us. We don't care. We want you to disagree with us. The hive mind is a cancer. It needs to be excised from the country as at large. We're just trying to be that kind of beacon.

We're not going to have all the answers. We're not going to be right about everything. We're going to pursue the truth. It's going to cause disagreements. That's fine. Nobody's first principles are the same. But we should all be advocating for them. You're so far out in front, they might never pat you on the head ever go back to work.

Yeah. Maybe. It's going to keep pushing forward, as we always do. But yeah, I'm kind of getting wrapping up here, if you guys can't tell. Do me favor, hit that thumbs up. That's number one. Number two, get yourself some self-disclosure. Deodorant, beard oil, lotion, tallow, whatever it is.

It's all great. Support our sponsors. We appreciate you. We are funded by you guys. We don't take money to black pill. We just, we do it for free at your expense. Just kidding. And then what else?

Yeah, I'll be back on tonight on the power hour with Bernie Bright. It should be a good discussion. I think we've already got some good topics. up, how much bombing will it take before the Board of Peace Blood Thurts is fulfilled? That's just more comical. Astro Emmy, for $17, it's human nature to want to be right and virtuous. Instead, let's listen and sharpen each other. You know, that's, I agree with that, totally.

And I think a lot of people agree with that statement, but they don't actually operate that way. And so I'm saying, like, the Q crowd who attacks us and tax everybody who disagrees or, like, you know, questions Trump or anything. it's like yeah we're just trying to wake up the normies you know we're just trying to get freedom this freedom that all these things but okay oh you disagree you shut up you you you you're paid you're an infiltrate you're the enemy you're the enemy you go away the complete opposite of the things they the values they pretend to preach no frauds astrolemy um says thanks for setting the tone of open debate john almost nowhere else can it be found yes we

And guys, it's another thing. People are like, oh, well, I got, I got banned in the Rumble chat on Rumble. We believe in free speech, but we believe in, like, doing it in good faith. You come in here and start, like, only talking shit and talking lies and spewing bullshit about us and other people. That is not debating about the topics or the ideas. That has been a disingenuous douchebag, and we will ban those people. Team smooth buying a What is that?
