Badlands Media - The Daily Herold: 3/5/26 - Regime Change Questions, Election Integrity, and SAVE Act Strategy

Episode Date: March 5, 2026

Jon Herold hosts a more free flowing Thursday episode, leaning heavily on audience questions while exploring several developing political narratives. Early in the show he discusses reports that President Trump may want influence over selecting Iran’s next leader, raising the obvious question of whether that qualifies as regime change and how that squares with official messaging. Jon also revisits the ongoing election integrity debate, emphasizing that reforms like voter ID and proof of citizenship remain central to restoring trust in the system. A major portion of the episode focuses on the SAVE America Act and the political maneuvering surrounding it. Jon analyzes how changes in Senate membership could affect the vote count and speculates that Trump may be strategically “rug pulling” the legislation in order to reshape the political landscape before pushing it forward again. Along the way he critiques establishment media narratives, discusses Big Tech accountability, and invites viewers to help suggest potential interview guests for future episodes. The result is a conversational but sharp breakdown of strategy, skepticism, and the importance of questioning political decisions even from allies.

of the Badlands, explain those Badlands. That's a hell of a name. Man, what a rough start to the show already. Are we good on Rumble now? I think we should be live now. I think I may have forgot to hit one of the buttons. But anyway, good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the Daily Herald here on Badlands Media.

I'm your host, John Harold. Some of you on Rumble got to skip out on the typical Badlands intro. but I'm here now. So that's all that really matters. But yeah, how was everybody doing? It's Thursday, kind of a, if I'm being honest, kind of a slow, slow news day. I didn't have a lot to talk about. I mean, I have some tabs open.

We'll go through some things, but I'm going to lean on you guys quite a bit today, I think. I did post something on Twitter asking for, you know, what you guys want me to talk about. So we might go through a couple of those things, see if there's anything in there. Interesting. That's almost Friday. We've got to talk about the most important news of the day. Britney Spears arrested in California for a DUI. I was not aware of that.

Interesting. I wonder what kind of card did you drive? We've been a big, uh, 75 and beautiful here. Much need of warmth and sunshine. It's like foggy outside here. I wonder what, I don't even know how warm it is.

29 degrees. Not bad. Seth Keschel's book is out today. Yeah, we'll probably talk about that a little bit. How do I get out of this? I'll see a thing open to my computer and I don't know how to get out of the screen. There we go. So, Dremke killed the leader's son now?

Not that I know of. We will, we'll talk about that. There's a story that came out from Reuters where it says Trump does want to have a hand in picking the next leader. of Iran, which we kind of already knew, but to see him say it, going to be difficult for him to, you know, say it's not regime change when they're swapping out and choosing who the next leader is going to be. But that's fine. We can be okay with that, maybe.

But when they made her walk the line, did she pull out a butcher knife and dance? Is that from a video or something? They're funny. Okay. Let's get a quick word from our sponsors. And then we'll just see where the show takes us. First up, we got some Rattle Snake meats. We've been trained to buy cheap, fast, and processed, but cheap comes at a cost.

April 9th through the 12th. We've got a stacked lineup. Almost everybody in Badlands. It's going to be there. It's going to be a good time. Badlandsmedia.tv slash events. You can get in-person or virtual tickets. a single day tickets going on sale is to be determined

we'll probably know here in the next couple weeks whether or not we're going to be doing that depends on whether we sell out I suppose bona fide doubt John don't be a dumer like me it's not called Twitter Musk bought it and renamed it X for a reason only losers and babies say Twitter anymore well that's not true I feel like I can call it whatever I want

anyone saying there's a mega divide is themselves a mega divider I don't if I agree with that Uh, H. Kyle John, I don't think Trump wants to select a permanent leader. Let me share my actual chat.

See how this goes. Not too bad. Let's zoom in a little bit. I don't think Trump wants to select a permanent leader. Trump wants to select a person that will help the Iranian citizens form their government. And we kind of went over this last night. We, I thought we had a pretty good show on,

uh, on the power hour last night. Not everybody loves that got a few DMs from people who are like, I can't believe you're still complaining about stuff. But that's, we talk about the info war. And something. times that means we discuss the behavior of other people in the info war that's that's what

we're doing we're navigating the info right info war that's how you get through it chat within a chat trippy uh chris paul's voice my bingo card did not include one of my senators dropping out for reelection my other senator helping capital police and a scuffle in the capital yeah that was weird i saw that video circulating i haven't actually watched it yet but the guy who like went into protests former Marine went into protest the war and he ended up getting his arm broken there's videos that come out today he's I don't know married to a Muslim or some people are trying to make him make it seem like he wasn't genuine or he was disingenuous I don't know don't really uh care to to get emotionally attached to that story there's real people in this country that don't

want the war there's real people that support it only cancel culture lived tarts talk like we can't hear others opinions. My senators need to be replaced along with lots of reps in Wisconsin. When you're talking about somebody dropping out, I saw a story today that I think it was John or no, Paxton maybe, said that he'd be willing to drop out if Cornynon, I think, passes the SAVE Act. Let me see if I can find the story here. Yeah, I think it's this one.

Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Save America Act is the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass. I'm committed to helping President Trump get it done. It's a pretty big statement, the most important bill ever. I would consider dropping me out of this race if Senate leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the Save America Act. John Cornyn is a coward who has refused to support abolishing the filibuster to pass this bill. Now fake news reporters and the establishment are trying to destroy me with misinformation.

And he's been the target of a lot of misinfoops, it seems. He says the truth is clear. No one has been more. to Donald Trump than me fighting the stolen 2020 election being in Marlago when he announced his 2024 campaign and standing with him in New York in the face of lawfare with the good of our country and for the good of passing President Trump's agenda I'm determined to help him get this done That's interesting it seems as though do we have confirmation yet if Trump is endorsing Cornyn? I know that was rumored yesterday could be fake news

Rebel Nader I don't care where his motives are his message lines with me by the way bro all night are you you got to be more respectful dude it's one thing to disagree if you start getting disrespectful it's possible you get muted i'm not saying to me saying just generally that goes for everybody john self-reading his own show way to his hair looks grayer with his frosted tips i don't know why you keep saying that frosted tips lee walden nothing wrong with anyone protesting a war however if you're in uniform your etiquette is in question it's not about his opinion of the war can't do it in uniform brother Was he actually uniform? I didn't see that.

Did you see the CEO Burger tasting videos? I did not. Now watch Pax and become the USAG starting 2027 when his term runs out. I mean, I'd probably like that better than Pam Bondi. That's one of the things in news. Nancy Mason and a few others filed. Was it a subpoena? They subpoenaed Pam Bondi?

Let me pull this up. If I can find it. I know I saw. Or last night. Yeah, here we go. Breaking. We're moving to subpoena U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi. A.G. Bondi claims the DOJ has released all the EPST files. The record is clear. They have not.

The Epstein case is one of the greatest cover-ups in American history. His global sex trafficking network is larger than what is being revealed. Three million documents have been released and we still don't have the full truth. Videos are missing, audio is missing, logs are missing. There are millions more documents out there. We want to know why the DOJ is more focused on shielding the powerful than delivering justice. The American people deserve answers. Victim deserves justice.

Hold the line. Nancy Mace is a grifter, as is all of Congress. I'd follow my chair of Trump endorses corn and he's a rhino who says that the 2020 election was legit and Trump did an insurrection. There are multiple people who have said that. the 2020 election was legit that Trump is endorsed. I think Senator Kramer here in North Dakota is one of them. I'm almost positive. The GOP didn't give two shoes about corner number four and why now.

All the money for the primary and he got his chairmanship with his own committee, something is up. It's a never-ending circus in Congress at taxpayer expense, of course. PJ Corrigan, no, I'm not going to talk about that. Hopefully not going to talk about that today. Mr. Reza-Tire says Nancy Mace is running for Congress. Congress or no government governor sorry yeah I heard that too you have money to the right people you can do whatever you want here in America suppression owns us as from CN

Stewart and I agree from endorse this is from Phil Scarborough Trump adores whomever will work the best on the big chessboard sometimes we're not going to like it yeah but we should still continue advocating our displeasure operate on for its principles guys No update on the Doge website. Silver rate now is at 8288. Gold is just under 50,100. Bitcoin is at 71,000, just a little bit over. The only update on the presidential website is this, a pledge proclamation, rate payer protection.

America's continued economic and technological leadership depends on reliable, large-scale data center infrastructure built in the U.S. And then he goes on to say as they expand their footprint, electricity demand associated with AI increases, American households must be protected against increasing energy costs. The hyperscalers and AI companies that increase electricity demand must pay for the full cost of the energy and infrastructure needed to build and operate the data centers, must not be passed on to the American people. Today, the rate payer protection pledge leading United States hyperscalers and AI companies guarantee that data centers energy will not increase household electricity.

It's just a pledge. It's not a, like, executive order. But I mean, it's good. Obviously, I don't want,

not that they're building any data centers here in North Dakota that I know of, but I don't want that cost passed on to me. Everybody wants transparency against the powerful until it comes to transparency against Congress. Yeah, they voted, I think it was yesterday.

They voted against the, like the slush fund exposure bill. And there was a, pretty wide margin. Let me see if I can find that story too. Let's see. What do Republicans have to hide?

Members of Congress should be ashamed into releasing this information along with details about their slush fund to pay victims. It's from Carol Swain. House votes 357 to 65 to block release of congressional misconduct. Now, I mean, technically they're not, they didn't vote to block the release of their misconduct. They voted to block the release of

the slush fund information. which it's ridiculous the slush fund exists, and it's ridiculous that they're in control. Like, it's, they take our taxpayer money. They use it on the slush fund to pay off their own misdeeds. And then they also control whether or not we even get to be aware of it when these people are supposed to be representing us. That's ridiculous.

So I'm kind of, I'm kind of excited they actually voted on it, although they knew whoever brought it to Florida knew this was going to happen. Not that it matters. I mean, it's still cool to see them on. record. I hate these people. Let's see what else the chat says. Anyone see the new power plants being built? I haven't seen any. A lot of people in Ohio are vehemently against the data center that's on its way. A Walbert Forge, the cost is already hitting utilities, not to mention consumer RAM and storage. What states have new power plants that have broken ground? That's a good question.

I don't know. But don't data centers run on solar or windmill mills since they generate so much energy? Well, I think this is going to be interesting with the whole fusion, the fusion power race that we kind of have going on now. Let me see if I can find. I think there's a story on that. Yeah. The global race to unlock nuclear fission. Governments worldwide have been racing to unlock the secret nuclear fission energy for several decades with the aim of producing abundant clean energy. While several generation milestones have been achieved in recent years, accomplishing commercial scale production continues to be extremely complex.

However, with more recent successes, we are edging closer to achieving this goal and producing vast quantities of clean power. Nuclear fission is the process that powers the sun and stars. Fusion takes place when two atomic nuclei, typically formed of hydrogen, are combined into a heavier nucleus, which releases a large quantity of energy. Difficulty in achieving this process is that scientists must recreate extreme temperatures and pressures that cause fusion in stars on Earth. Fusion energy is extremely attractive as it could provide massive amounts of clean power at a time when the electricity demand is soaring. Just one gram of fusion fuel could supply 90,000 kilowatt hours of energy in a power plant compared to the power produced from around 11 tons of coal. Fusion plants are also viewed as very safe as they do not have the same risks as fission plants, such as reactions, meltdowns, or higher level long-lived radioactive waste. And this is interesting because this comes, what comes to mind is the TMTG merger that they did.

Or acquisition, was it a merger acquisition? I don't remember. Let me look that up. TMTG nuclear fusion. Yeah, it was a merger. With TAE technologies, it was all about the fusion, future fusion energy. And it's interesting, they're the ones leading the way. So when we're talking about data centers, the energy crunch, keeping rates low,

and then what TMTG is doing on the flip side of things. It's all kind of connecting together a little bit. What do you think about of term limits being pushed by a lot of mega? Term limits are interesting one because I agree with the concept and like, yeah, putting that in place, which by the way, they're never going to vote on that for themselves ever. But putting that in place would be a way to get rid of bad Congresspeople, which a majority of them are.

But every now and then, if you get a good one to come in there, it's also how you get rid of them. And so I don't think term limits are as important as actual election integrity. If we could fix our elections, I don't care if we have term limits. Because the people doing their job, if they can actually be, if the people we elect could actually be held accountable by the people, then they're the term limit. Like, they're the ones that will be okay, well, you're no longer serving us or haven't been. We're going to put somebody else in there who will.

then you don't need term limits, if that makes sense. Yeah, it's definitely, it's always pushed by people. And it's a funny one because these people are never going to vote that for themselves. Just like I have a hard time believing they're going to be the ones that fix our election system when they're the primary beneficiaries. Original livestock, can't the water used for cooling be used for irrigation afterwards? Doesn't just disappear. You don't know.

That's a good question, though. I hope these data centers aren't waiting on taxpayer funds to start the power plans. John, do you see this tweet pretty funny when you think about it? Let's see. This is pretty funny. The Muslim world is divided about Iran. Muslim countries in favor of removing the regime. Jordan, Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain.

Muslim countries against the removal of the regime. Great Britain, France, and Spain. That's clever. Very clever. Someone doesn't want fusion energy to be released. Way too many people have died, killed, or disappeared that our leaders in fusion energy. The problem with terminance is if we like our congressman, we do not get to keep them that that's the point

remember what I told you servant is not greater than his master if they persecuted me they'll persecute you also if they obeyed my teaching they will obey yours also John 1520 yeah election integrity much more important than term limits good to see your eyes at tire

Trump himself even post about the Save America Act stuff today a couple things the Republicans must do with passion and at the expense of everything else the Save America Act and not the watered down version This is a country-defining fight for the soul of our nation. And something that he said just maybe like three, four weeks ago, month ago,

that we're going to have voter ID whether Congress wants to or not. So it can't be that much of a country-defining fight if the vote itself, we're told, is irrelevant. But we'll see what happens. You also suppose this to Save America Act, all voters, number one, all voters must show voter ID identification. Number two, all voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote. Number three, no mail in ballots except for illness, disability, military, or travel. Number four, no men in women's sports. Number five, no transgender mutilation surgery for children without the express written approval of the parents.

Are all those things in the Save America Act? I don't remember it including the transgender stuff. That's kind of funny if it's true. Walberg Forge, did you see Glenn Beck interviewing AI George Washington? It's so much cringe. He's been doing that now for like a while. They'll do these gay-ass interviews with AI dead presidents, as if the AI knows what the president would say.

Yeah, real interesting. Current two, good to see, Alf Boy, I hope you're feeling better. That's BS, crazy parents, communally their children. DJT, TMT is an exit Google. I do believe Google will be hit hard in the near future, and TMTG's model is aligned for a reason. Yeah, remember Google pushed election fraud, COVID Biden laptop censorship.

You just got to see that accountability. That's, man, the, the Rico Grande thing, but you haven't heard a peep on that in so long. I haven't heard anything about the strike force that they put together. It's been awfully quiet on that front. And that doesn't mean nothing's happening. Hopefully a lot's happening.

But we were getting so many updates, so many declassified documents coming out. I haven't gotten much at all. Anna, might as well just play with yourself on camera. That's a weird thing to say. Arresting those who certified a fake and gay election, and this is where that devolution dude's work becomes need to know. Thank you.

Mr. Reis-Tire, Gabba's chatbots, you can talk to like past presidents and specific characters like that. Anna, were you talking about him, him talking with the AI, George Washington, that he might as well just be playing with himself on camera, because it basically is. Is Mr. Trump going to fire Christy Gnome?

You know, I saw a story. where Trump says that he didn't know about or he didn't approve Christy Noem's advertising. Let me see if I can find this. Somewhere in my aggregator. Oh, apparently there's rumors. Say the fifth. Oh, this is, this like just came out.

Trump is preparing to fire Christy Noem. What the hell? And see, it's times like this where it's not even archived yet. I need to go to this story. Trump considers firing DHS Secretary Christine Oams or say the president has made no decision, but he has told lawmakers that he's unhappy with her testimony this week

before House and Senate committee sources said. President Donald Trump already frustrated with Homeland Secretary Security Secretary Christine Ome was incensed by her performance this week during congressional hearings and is considering firing her. Lawmakers and people familiar with the matter tell NBC News. He's been speaking this week with Republican lawmakers about his displeasure. And here's the thing. We don't know if any of this is true.

Could be, could not. There's rumors, though, that there's like a split between Homan and her. And then you think back to Minnesota when they brought Homan in. And they sent that one dude. I can't remember his name out. It's also weird. But what it makes me think, and I'm curious what you guys think, and this is nothing I haven't said before, but when when Trump was filling out his cabinet at the very beginning of his administration

we have badlands were like fairly critical of many of them and have been very critical throughout and people would get mad at us people would say we're doom in people were just like just give a time like in all these things all these excuses and now if trump fires her how will the people that have been defending Christy know him for a year and a half or however long it's been how will they respond what do you think the rhetoric's going to be like where we can just be like yeah this is

I mean just kind of sucked the whole time we've been saying that Ice Barbie or whatever Gifter social media influencer TV character whatever you want to say you think the people that were critical of us saying those things are going to like oh yeah i guess we were wrong i doubt it

the gosh they're they're gonna all of a sudden take our position that's what happens time and time again christineoma has nice hair she cannot be fired depends on who she's replaced with they've all been kind of lame even cash disappointment all been kind of lame row and grace john what do you think of the signing of nDAs local government here doing this around data centers it feels wrong keeping important info from the voters um i mean n ds are a very common practice i guess i don't know i need more context over what they're actually doing like who's signing the n dAs is the local government signing it with the data centers because i don't agree with that like when it comes to government n d a is within like keeping information from the voters if that's the purpose of

the nDAs that's not okay but if it's like the data centers and private business stuff Like everybody does NDAs. It's very normal. John does a negative poo-poo head sources familiar with the matter say. Yeah, anonymous source or fake news stories, Phil. Not sure we know about all that is happening with the Trump cabinet behind the scenes. Ramon says that that's 100% true. We don't know.

We don't know. This is potentially a fake news story. Potentially not. I'm just, if it ends up being true, it's going to be fun to watch. Like we always do the info war and the people in, you know, the truth community, how they respond because it's a good indicator of where we're at with things. They always talk about we're just waiting for enough people to wake up. And the people who claim to be the awake ones are most of the time retarded.

And flip flop on every damn story, every time. But yeah, curious to see how this goes. When she did her testimony, did I play you guys the clip of her saying, like the advertising and how much they spend on advertising? Did I play that on the show? I don't remember. somebody let me know because if I did then I won't play it again but if I didn't then I do want to play this at least not all of it seen it you guys have seen it let me just play a little bit term for waste which I share with the fact that you have spent 220 million dollars

running television advertisements that feature you prominently? Sir, the president tasked me with getting the message out to the country and to other countries where we were seeing the invasion come from with putting commercials out that told them that if they were in this country illegally, that they needed to leave or we would detain them and remove them and they'd not get the chance to come back to America the right way. That has been extremely effective. ask you so again won't play the whole thing she didn't have a very good answer here but

what this got me looking into the other day when I saw this clip is how much our government actually spends in advertising they spend a billion dollars 1.3 billion dollars a year in advertising our government is advertising like isn't that a little ridiculous. Like I understand some of the recruitment stuff from the military maybe. Like that I could I could get on board with some of that. But outside of that, I can't think of a single reason why the government should be spending any money on advertising. Like we don't give a shit if you're doing what you're saying you're doing. I don't care to see commercials on TV of how, of what the DHS is doing in their operations.

1.3 billion a year in advertising. It's insanity. That's fraud, waste, and abuse right there. It's weird that Doge hasn't cleaned it all up yet. Buck Wayne, advertising, propaganda. Yep. Are they really spending it on advertising? I mean, that's the question.

But there were commercials of like Barbie ice all over the place. Those existed. Dragon 45, does any of the hearings ever equal anything? Don't think so. Talk about wasting taxpayer money. they don't they never do never have and it's probably it's weird like I wish I could go back in time and watch like some of the first hearings like what did Congress actually intend for the hearings that they dug into and did they ever actually go somewhere like at what point did it become

they do these hearings and it's literally just for the clips for social media at some point that happened there was a switch if they ever actually did something it hasn't been for a long a long time. Like the reports that they put out don't end up doing anything, at least not yet. Like even the weaponization of government committee from Jim Jordan in the, it would have been the last two years of Biden's term. I thought that was going to be signal, you know? I thought like, man, they're hitting all the major topics, exposing a lot of things.

You know, maybe this is like just going to be rolled up into some sort of broader investigation. that's already going on or whatever, and maybe it has. That's possible. It's speculation to say so, but it's possible. We definitely haven't seen any evidence of it, and none of it really amounts to anything. None of it. It's ridiculous, guys.

Misbehaving Irishmen, many creators, including some on badlands, will twist themselves into pretzels to spend any negative story to fit a narrative that they're married to. Want to give me an example of that, misbehaving Irishman? Election fraud doesn't get fully unequivocally exposed and dealt with. This is from Bay Theater Dave. None of this BS, other BS matters. Just saying, totally agree.

Totally agree. Ajax 55, I think we might have lost, but we just don't know it yet. Yeah, I mean, I don't think so. But it's possible. But I doubt it. That's more of a, I would say, a black pill take. Info War, John, Info War. What's that regarding?

Congress had no fake hearings. They would never do anything. John Ligate campaign clips on our dime. Yes, they do. Waldford Forge. Just got my guard virtual ticket. Hell yeah. Hell yeah, man.

Thank you for doing that. I swear, guys, once the lawsuit stuff is behind me and we're charging ahead, we will do, like, contest to give away tickets to guard and stuff. We were working towards doing that, but couldn't pull it off. But we will end up doing it. that getting more creative and getting people who couldn't typically come the ability to come going to scientology space church what time to grow up with the corrupt c i covert cia will eat you alive um just finished watching basis conspiracies from an end the new tiny bright video with the man

It does so much for the movement. Yeah. You know, we've talked about this. We talk amongst ourselves about it. and we try to ignore it but I wish I could be a little more open about stuff going on

behind the scenes and eventually I'll be but we do our best to stay in our lane we comment on it but what the other side has been doing it's ridiculous yeah there's a lot of outside of just our personal situation there's all it is is infighting it's just everybody's yelling at everybody hustle comes and coming sorry guys I can't help myself sometimes I don't even know that I'm doing it. I don't even realize I'm doing it. It just feels so natural and good on the face. Do not realize ours were land sharks. Mormon space programs.

for Gart here in the near future. We're also going to start piecing together some of the panels and topics and whatnot. So if you have any suggestions, we're all ears. We're all ears. Thircad, latest soft disclosure lotion order is Anzwey. Thank you. Can you brush your hair without brush? My son does. My son does that every morning. He loves it.

Let's see it. There's a few other stories I want to get to, or least topics generally. This regarding the Iran war, I mean, could be nothing, could be something, but at least it's out there. CENTCOM support requests, hints war could last through at least September.

And if my calculations are correct, it's March right now, that's like six months. My math is right. Somebody pull up the calculator and check my mouth on that. But anyway, the story is the request from the U.S. Central Command for the Pentagon to provide additional support staff has hinted that the military expects the war to last for several months. Suncom reportedly asked the Department of War to send military intelligence officers to its Tampa, Florida headquarters to assist with Iran operations for at least 100 days. likely through September.

Could be a totally BS story, by the way. I'm not even sharing my screen. My bad guys. The White House has repeatedly adjusted its timeline for the duration of hostilities. The SINCOM request is the latest sign that the conflict will last much longer than initially optimistic estimates. The Trump administration has insisted that its activities in the Middle East are part of a special combat operation and not a full-blown war. The euphemism has attracted to considerable derision and mockery, partly due to its similarity

to the Russian special military operation in Ukraine. Yeah. I mean, I get it. I would call it a war. You know, like if, I said this before, and we don't need to get stuck on the definition of it, but if Iran were to like send a bunch of ballistic missiles at us, we would call that an act of war, and then we would respond, and that would, we'd be at war.

And that's kind of what happened. I mean, whatever, we don't need to get sucked into the semantics. But that's out there. We don't know the length. It's a dynamic situation. who knows we will have to see what happens this is the actual political article though is titled inside the Trump administration scramble to support its own war once State Department officials said two few people were read in on our war plans state department is adding resources to evacuate

stranded Americans in the Middle East and the Pentagon is scrambling to increase the number of US troops gathering intelligence for operations latest indication that the Trump administration is not fully prepared for the broader war it is now facing and it's interesting if this is true which we don't have to take it at face value and believe it's true because it's fake news politico all those things but we can play with the idea of it right that's how bicameral thinking works you can play with a story understanding that it may not be true so but if it is true does this lead or lend more credibility to the idea that we kind of had our hand forced into doing this.

If we weren't fully prepared, we didn't get involved all of our people out there, remove more assets around to kind of prepare for more of a longer term type situation. It makes it appear as if we weren't actually

planning to do this. Which would, I think, lend credibility to the stories that Israel was going to do it. We tried to say no or whatever. But they decided to we kind of like, okay,

well, we might as well do it with you, whatever. The stories that were out there a couple days ago. Again, don't know if it's true. Don't know if that's true. Just playing with the idea of it. Something to consider. Eric Kufrema, don't believe that for a second. It does seem a little silly on its face.

But that's the hard part about this is we're not getting any true information from anybody. So there's no way to really know. If you watch the power last night, we talked a little bit in there about anthropic and how the military is using AI. which I think is just interesting in and of itself. They're using AI to pick all the targets. I think back to movies, and I can't even think of one off the top of my head,

like one specifically, but movies when you see these people, they're like monitoring their targets on a screen and they're following them. And that's like their whole job. They had people assigned to follow the key targets where now you have like so many satellites up in the sky. You don't have to have one person sitting there analyzing it all.

You have AI do it. AI can monitor and track. hundreds of thousands of targets all at once simultaneously. And then when ready to go, you hit the fire button and AI will shoot the missiles and take, take out the ones that you want in order of priority or whatever. It's just interesting to hear even if it, even if it's fake. We don't know that. We don't know what we don't know.

But the idea of AI like fighting these wars and the evolution of war fighting, we're going away from traditional. Eventually, wars are just going to be people trying to bomb each other with drones. And then it's like drone warfare.

And eventually maybe it gets to the Gtopia scenario where it's just Bitcoin, energy, and whatnot. Tamara S. Zach and Alpha trigger some, it seems.

They have the rights of their opinion for sure. Blessing all of our bad landers. I appreciate them all. Yeah, I love all those guys too. We don't all agree about everything. I wish someday we could show you guys like some of our private

group chats um it's they get funny like contentious to the point of comedy and but it's so healthy it didn't always used to be healthy like we've always had friction and like different ideas

some people couldn't take handle it couldn't take it well and would lead to you know people leaving even in instances but it's very healthy right now where even even when we disagree and people are like

calling each other names and stuff they at the end of the day or like the very next day a couple hours later they're sharing stories and talking as bros about what what a different story means it's just it's so cool carby trying to get John's attention about it about what

what I miss John checked Donald J. Truth Social Post a minute ago about Nome let's see if it was fake news or not guys what okay Here we go.

I'm pleased to announce that the highly respected United States Senator from the great state of Oklahoma, Mark Wayne Mullen, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, effective March 31st, 2026. Current Secretary Kristine Ohem, who has served us well, as numerous and spectacular results, especially on the border, we'll be moving to the special envoy for the Shield of the Americas. Our new security initiative in the Western Hemisphere, we were announcing on Saturday in Dora, Florida. I thank Christy for her service at homeland.

Serving 10 years in the United States House of Representatives and three in the Senate, Mark Wayne has done a tremendous job representing the world people of Oklahoma, where I won all 77 out of 77 counties, 2016, 2020, and 2024, a mega warrior and former undefeated professional MMA fighter, Mark Wayne truly gets along well with people and knows the wisdom and courage required to advance our America first agenda. As the only Native American in the Senate, Mark Wayne is a fan. advocate for our incredible travel communities.

Mark Wayne will work tirelessly to keep our border secure, stop migrant crime, murderers and other criminals from illegally entering our country and the scourge of illegal drugs and make America safe again. Mark Wayne will be a spectacular secretary of Homeland Security. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President Donald Trump. It doesn't happen often that we get a story where it's like, oh, maybe it's true, maybe it's not.

I don't know. And then we get confirmation that it was true. just minutes later while live on air that is awesome and now like I was saying you now is when you pay attention to how the the broader truth community response to this because when like if Christie was doing her job and was doing it well and Trump liked her there this wouldn't have happened and and you know how Trump is like he has people they serve a role they do something for a reason and then they get rid of them, right? Like they serve their purpose. Their usefulness is

maxed out and they're gone. We've seen that time and time again with Trump. We haven't seen it much. Like Trump's first year was the second term. I don't think we saw a single person let go. Christy, no, might be the first. The first that was like in there and then fired. And she's going to a like a special envoy for a made up thing that doesn't even exist yet. like that's where that's so funny oh maybe I was wrong wasn't um what's his name mark

who's the guy that was the Florida congressman Mike waltz he he kind of got the axe so maybe I was wrong about the first term was she's the first she's not the first one there's been there's been some turnover but it's like nothing compared to his first term in office like he was he's not shy

about firing people but I think it's important to watch the reaction from truth community and see how many people and how they talk about this because we've been critical of her basically the entire time and haven't changed our position on it while other people defended her and uh now are they going to continue to defend her or be like well yeah she obviously sucked at her job i mean she needs this needed to happen or she's just moving on to a different part of the plan or whatever the special envoy for the shield of the americas give me a break crazy

Trump just needed ice Barbie's pretty face for commercials she's central casting says anarchy noem's always seemed a little questionable to me well hey you don't get to do that aren't you Joe Joe Gilmore good to see you man you're one of those cute people you

you have to trust everything you can't now say like oh she's always she was the one that was always a little questionable to me then why weren't you questioning her before Chris Ball's take Mark Wayne Mullen is a clown DHS Secretary is trying to feel like UN ambassador as far as jobs and the Trump admin go. Both of those are positions that interface directly and primarily with the global regime.

Yeah, I don't know Mark Wayne Mullen, like at all. Okay. I recognize him. He's had some interesting clips I'd say on social media. Maybe I should, maybe I'm going to see if I can use my contact to try to get an email address for his person. see if I can interview him. I doubt. Obviously, I'm never going to get an interview with that guy. But I'll try. Let's see what he said. This war, we're about it again on Tim Kane's warpower resolution. This war power resolution has been around for 50 years.

It's only been used 11 times in 50 years and five of those times been by Tim Kane this year. What is the war power resolution? It basically says that the president can't continue his approach for his military action in the direction that he's moving. and then he would have to immediately stop, not tomorrow, not phased down, immediately stop, and would have to come back to Congress for the authorization to protect Americans' interests. So let's say it does pass. It's actually a do nothing because it's not going to pass the House.

Yeah, we don't need listen to that. Triggin 45 says John always has to point out that he's always right. Well, here's the thing. I'm not always right. I don't feel like I always pointed out, but I mean, if I was right about something, I'm going to point that out, probably. but this is more of a broader you know we work we talk about the info war stuff the broader effects of the community and and where people are at and what the behaviors we see and some of the behaviors that we believe are detrimental to progress and this is one of those things where we were like made out to be the bad guy for criticisms and then when we get like justified i mean we don't know the full details obviously

And maybe, maybe I don't even know. I don't even know. Maybe this is somehow it could be spun as a good thing still. And she was great at her job and all these things. But maybe, you know, being critical of people in the administration is necessary and required. And so when we get made out to be like the bad guy over things, then we kind of get proven right over it or feel like we get proven right. I'm definitely going to point that shit out and be like, yeah, you guys are retarded and have Ben. Not you guys in the chat, other people.

And what does this do for the Senate makeup, right? Because he's a senator. So do we now, how does that work? Do they have to, man, I wish the Senate rules weren't so convoluted. So if he's a senator, is the governor going to choose to replace him or is it just an open seat? we are we're desperately trying to pass the save act right now and did they just lose a vote for that potentially

like now now if they bring the save act to the floor and do the talking filibuster thing by the time like if they can stall for a couple weeks is March 31st that's a little less than four weeks away or whatever they can stall long enough and bring it to a vote they won't have enough now

to pass it even on a party line vote, not even to get to the tiebreaker. So it's interesting that Trump is like, we need to pass the Save America Act urgently, desperately, but not desperately enough where I'm going to leave this guy there to make sure that we at least get the tiebreaker vote and then can actually pass it. He's rug pulling the Save America Act with this move. You guys to see that? John, as an Oklahoma and call Mark, he will absolutely answer you.

Most likely you come on your show. If you want to do me a favor and give him a call, give his office a call and give him my email address or something, jonabatlandsmedia.org. I'd love to interview. You guys, if you find good people that you think I should interview, let's do it. I haven't done interviews in a while. I used to have like a, what do you call them? A producer, I guess, but I couldn't afford it anymore when, you know, with the lawsuit stuff going on.

so I don't have producers. I don't like I'm not actively out there trying to pursue interviews like I used to. I'm getting some out there. I think Pat Harrigan is coming on on March 18th. Got that lined up. Still working on Tim Burchett, but I'm going to try to get some more interviews lined up.

So, but if you guys know of any, you can help be my producers. Just no debags, please. I like elected officials, even though, you know, illegitimacy and all those things aside. It's just fun putting them on the spot. But I don't want to like interview every random

Joe Blow. Don't like speak on my behalf and be like, yeah, he wants to interview you because I don't. I don't know if I want to interview anybody, but if you want to email me some contact info and then I'll decide if I choose to interview that person, that'd be cool. Matt Trump, chaty p.T, Oklahoma Governor appoints temporary replacement within 30 days, followed by a special election. Okay. So it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. It almost seems like Trump rug pulled the Save America Act with this.

He's rug pulling Save America Act with Cornyn, so now he can endorse Paxton. It's part of the plan. Don't question it. Sit down. He literally says question everything. He says question John. Yeah, you should. Question everything, except for the decoders.

Don't question the decoders, but everything else. It's fair game. Mullen can stay as senator until he formally resigns, which is like the same day before he takes a new position. Breschett is from Tennessee. The CH is hard. an uh sound i don't understand that apel just said it past haven't looked into what she's talking about do i even want to know what anapalina luna says what time is that it's all it's time for the show to be over let me see think it's past i don't know what she's talking about

oh we got rumors of oh it's coming from emerald robinson so i'm gonna take that with a major grain of salt well 81 dollars jack smith for dhs Got a good point on the rugpole looking forward to DPH Saturday. Yeah. Temporary replacement, according to Matt Trump, good to see him at. Has to be Republicans, same party as the previous senator. Yeah, we just talked about that homecoming. If I recall, weren't they, this from R.R. Hodi, if I recall, weren't they asking Trump to fire

Noem before they were new DHS funding? Also, Thune and the rest using the previous arguments not to vote on the sayback. You're absolutely right. One of the things they wanted in their list of 10 demands that the Democrats put forth, Schumer and Jeffries, was the resignation of Christy Noem. And so I wonder, that's another angle to this is, are they doing it to get the partial shutdown back up and running? Interesting. That's another like aspect with, you know, with the war thing going on and the talk, we talked a little bit about potentially being, you know, were they actually fully prepared? maybe that's fake news doesn't seem too credible but the fact that we still have partial

a partial shutdown and dhs not being funded while that's going on it's got to affect some aspects of our national security right i'd imagine so is this a move to you know get the ball moving and getting getting us back up and run i don't know just talking on my ass right now guys somebody's saying the autists are different from the retards yeah guys um Jack 7113 for a dollar. Evoc Times reports. Chrissy Noem has been like, oh, that's what we're talking about.

We just went over that story live. I know the center was about to put the bill back on the floor to approving homeland security funding. This definitely could be part of that. Phil Scarborough, I'm a wartime president. Trump has said that. And so it's funny how people get so defensive when you're like, well, what we're seeing in Iran, that's war, right?

Like this, no, it's an operation. He's a military operation president, Phil. That's the trap. If you question anything, you're a black pillar or fake mega, question mark. It's interesting how they've set that up. Ken and Fodder, good to see, man. T. Gretzky, no discussion of Tim Tebow's congressional appearance. Seems like a huge deal right here.

You know, I should have pulled that up. Maybe I can do that for tomorrow. He went in front of Congress, and I think he talked about a lot of the child pedophilia stuff. and it was a good it was a good appearance I only saw like one clip but I think it is probably important to discuss we can

somebody remind me we'll do that tomorrow Scott Galtz Christine Nome was doing a good job Democrats are just getting their way again how do you know she's doing a good job though with the numbers that we're getting from you know deportations are they actually better or worse

than like even an Obama administration she was good at social media campaigns to make you think she was doing a good job but she's kind of hard to take serious at all at any point and the dhs is likely an unconstitutional agency and shouldn't exist anyway but that is a topic for another another day anarchy great show how do we bring back mohab i miss it yeah i miss that too you just start doing it um oh what's his name I can't think of it now.

I have this pen over there. Something like a birthday or a Christmas card with his pen. I don't want to go in a get up and go look. One of you guys in the chat, I'll remember it. But I spoke to him not long ago and he's just like swamped with work stuff. He listens now and then, doesn't tune into the chat as like he used to. Keith O'Higgins, by the way, I got a message about him. He is giving up the chat for Lent.

That's why he's disappeared. He'll be back with vengeance, I'm sure. probably just ran out of material and needed to get back to writing for a few days Fred Awakening, that's it. Thank you Babbage. Miss like I, Fredo. All right. I think I'm going to wrap it up here. R.T. Joan, Christine Nome, first hearing she was fire

and this last one meek. Kennedy uncharacteristically harsh on Republican seems like a setup for change. Move on the chess board. What do you think? Yeah, I mean, she said cool things in the first one, that doesn't mean she was fire. I don't know. How is she a governor? I don't know.

It doesn't matter anymore. I know. This is, it goes back to what Chris has been saying and a lot of us have been saying about this, the current makeup of the administration. Trump and his administration are two separate things. They're operating. It appears sometimes towards two different agendas. And the administration itself is full of a lot of TV characters.

Like literal Fox News people. they're not they're not necessarily always working in line with trump like pan bondi i've said it for a while i think she is maybe working against trump in a lot of ways the epstein thing is is one of them she's getting subpoenaed but she's the reason like the f's that feels like there's an epstein cover up some people have cursed an apology i know some people just don't like it is what it is giving up lent for lent it's a boss move John the dude of two first day Don't be an asswing hit that like

button yeah guys hit that like button I'm gonna get out of here guys You have a good rest of your day Make sure you stick around bad lands I think is ghosts going live after this I don't remember Forget my own show Or my own platform's show schedule

I think there's anybody after me right now But this afternoon we got taking it back Quite frankly is on Sit Rep tonight JB is going on with the boys on sit reps So make you tune to that. That's going to be a spicy one. And I think we have Rugpole Radio later this evening. But all right.

You guys, do me a favor. Hit the thumbs up. You have a great rest of your Thursday. I'll be back tomorrow right here on the Daily Herald at 1 p.m. Eastern. Catch you all later.
