The Daily Herold: March 25, 2026 – Iran Confusion, Tech Expansion, and Signals Behind the Noise

The badlands, right at 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'm your host, John Herald, and lots of interesting stuff going on today, actually.

I mean, maybe not lots of stuff, but a couple interesting stories that I want to talk

through.

We have a lot of it having to do with the Iran War, Trump's rhetoric on the Iran War, and

how nobody knows what the hell is going on.

I think that's brilliant, and by design, we're going to talk about that a little bit.

Having appointments to a science and technology council, I have some economic stuff.

What else?

Some AI stuff, moon bases, those are always fun to talk about.

And yeah, and we'll just kind of plug away and see what else.

Oh, Jamie Raskin says he's got this like super secret and damning DOJ memo from the

documents case.

And then we'll see what you guys want to talk about.

Yeah, Trump commenting on Pfizer, we'll talk about that as well.

That just came out, I think he truth about that a little bit ago.

Yeah, about nine minutes ago, ten minutes ago, maybe that'll be what we start the show

off with today, after we get through some of the housekeeping things.

And listen, driving, drive safe, please, I'll try not to give you road rage.

Wait was there no audio on one of the ads, that's not my fault, I don't know what happened

with that, but CC in the chat says here I'll do the ad read, John loves this stuff so much,

we have a whole shelf in the kitchen for it, but it's always empty boxes I have to throw

away because he drinks it so fast.

That is true.

I do drink it very fast and I never throw away the boxes because it's a good reminder

for me when I go to look and get disappointed that I don't have it, if the boxes is even

gone, there's no guess where it's like is there one in there, is there not, is it empty?

Then I get the disappointment and then sometimes I'll remember to like, yo sales team, I'm out

of this again.

It's so good my mom got me some of that, the urbe mate stuff for Christmas is one of my

gifts, one of the best gifts I've ever gotten.

Yeah, get your guard tickets, everybody.

The read part of Badlands Health didn't play, Ash will have to talk about this, we'll talk

about it after the show, I know we have a meeting here later today.

No update on the Dojo website and gold and silver prices right now are at, gold is at

4500 up a little bit from yesterday, silver up to 73, which is up a few bucks from yesterday

as well, Bitcoin, it's on the rise, 71, 200, and then a few things on the presidential

website, we have further continuation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency review

council.

So they're still reviewing the stuff, who knows how long it's going to, like what their

goals are with this, still having gotten the National Resilient Strategy, which is disappointing,

that may have something to do with this review they're doing, I don't know.

But one of the bigger stories is this, Trump announces appointments to the President's

Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.

Today, President Donald Trump pointed the first members to his President's Council of Advisors

on Science and Technology, established by Executive Order, PCAST brings together the nation's

foremost luminaries in Science and Technology to advise the President and provide recommendations

on strengthening American leadership in Science and Tech.

It'll be co-chaired by David Sachs and Michael Kratzios.

I think there's lots of interesting names on here.

The one that I would say kind of upsets me is the Mark Zuckerberg.

He's probably my least favorite on this list, and this goes all the way back to when

it was still Biden was an office, I believe.

I don't remember if it was before or after the election, he was before.

And Zuckerberg comes out, he goes on Joe Rogan, and does start soon a couple of these interviews

and making the rounds, and he starts fessing up to all the censorship and bullshit that

Facebook pulled.

And I felt like I was crazy because a lot of people in the truth community were like,

oh my gosh, this is awesome.

See, we told you so.

Look at all these things.

And I'm saying, he's admitting to basically crimes, in my opinion, but severe wrongdoing,

and we're just going to let him off the hook.

Like why are we not screaming for him to be investigated?

Where's the punishment?

And then he goes and gives a bunch of money to Trump's inauguration campaign and all

these things.

He's having meetings at the White House.

He's got insider access, and I know all these bajillionaires do.

But I'm not a fan of, I feel like we almost forgot what we went through when Trump was in

office the first time in the Biden years.

Because there's so many things that we were wronged in many big ways.

And instead of seeing accountability and justice, and I know we're waiting for a lot of those

things to come, and maybe we'll get it, we don't know.

But one of the people that I would love to see some accountability from, or for whatever,

is Mark Zuckerberg.

And here he's getting on this presidential counsel of science and technology.

And I personally think that's bullshit.

And obviously I don't know.

Everything Trump knows.

Maybe he, you know, what do they say, he, they turned them and he's like witness against

everybody else for all the crimes and all those things.

Maybe that's true.

I don't know.

But because I don't know, I'm not going to like pretend that's true, not going to speculate

to that degree.

So I'm going to be upset about this.

I think it's bullshit.

I would much rather see a general quest on this than a Mark Zuckerberg.

And you know who's notice, noticeably missing is Elon Musk.

Weird that he's not on here.

But we have a couple of Oracle people, I don't know, not a fan.

Mark is several billion dollars above the law.

Yeah.

That's what it feels like.

And that's that's kind of the problem.

It's kind of the problem.

And I know like, you know, the whole trust Trump, I trust he knows what he's doing.

How are these appointments made?

Was it him?

Was it somebody else?

Was it who gave the most money?

Like we don't know.

And what role these people actually play, I don't know.

Like how much impact they're going to actually have on the fields of science,

to technology, I don't know yet to be determined.

But it's kind of frustrating to see bad behavior getting rewarded.

I still don't know if I can get on Facebook.

I know bad lenses of Facebook.

I think, I guess I wasn't banned from Facebook.

I deleted mine back in the day, like on myself.

But I know Instagram, I was booted off of there forever.

We finally just got back on with badlands.

Like there's a whole bunch of censorship issues on all these platforms that haven't,

excuse me, haven't been corrected.

And we haven't had any accountability for it yet either.

With getting presidential appointments.

So yeah, there's my rant on that.

And I'll move on.

Let's go to this through social post.

And then we'll get into a great story from CNN where they're like the fuck's going on.

They have no idea.

But this one, Donald Trump, about 20 minutes ago,

Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson,

and Senate Majority Leader, John Thune,

have been working to pass a clean extension of Pfizer Section 702.

You know what, I'm going to look this up just to make sure I don't butcher it.

So we all know and are on the same page about what exactly this is.

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is a legal authority

that allows the US government to conduct warrantless targeted surveillance

of certain non-US persons located abroad to collect foreign intelligence

using US communications infrastructure and providers.

What Section 702 does authorizes the intelligence community, primarily the NSA,

to collect specific categories of foreign intelligence information.

It permits a lot of things.

And the targets must be non-US citizens.

But I think the issue here comes down to Pfizer abuse.

And how often it's been misused by the intelligence community.

When we are looking to pass something like this and get a reauthorized,

we are basically putting trust back into the intelligence community,

the same one that we have been told,

have been conducting the legal psychological warfare against the American people,

the same ones that have targeted not just us, but Donald Trump and so many people in the movement.

These people are like the real root of a lot of the problems.

And there's like many tentacles to it.

But we're giving them the ability and the tools to continue to do their bullshit.

And so right off the bat, before we even get into this post fully,

I'm not a fan of this either.

I'm not on board with this.

I want the intelligence communities to be completely dismantled.

And we should be having to debate whether we even need them at all.

Let alone giving them the same tools they've been weaponizing and abusing for decades.

Like no.

And when you get bipartisan Congress, congressional support to do anything,

you know it's a problem. It's a uniparty construct that's so stupid.

Anyway, they want to clean the center of FISA section 702.

A lot of that passed many years ago by Congress to collect intelligence on foreigners and non-citizens.

When used properly, that's the key word.

When used properly, FISA is an effective tool to keep Americans safe.

For those reasons, I've called for a clean 18-month extension.

What is 18 months?

And that gets us into... Hold on.

Would that be...

13...

The September of 2027, if it's like reauthorized today.

September, October 2027.

However, the critical and common sense reforms that were made in the last reauthorization of FISA must remain intact

to protect the American people from abuses.

Do we know if they've... If the reforms that they made have helped with any of the abuses?

I'm pretty sure I had the same stance last time it passed.

I think it's bullshit.

Nobody understands this better than me as I was a victim of the worst and most illegal abuse of FISA in our nation's history.

My radical left lunatics who lied to the FISA court to spy on my 2016 presidential campaign

in their attempt to rig the election in favor of cricket Hillary Clinton.

That is why, since the first day of my already historic term, second term,

my administration has worked tirelessly to ensure these reforms are being aggressively executed

at every level of the executive branch to keep Americans safe.

I'm protecting their sacred civil liberties guaranteed by our great constitution.

The ongoing successful military activities against the terrorist Iranian regime,

it is more important than ever that we remain vigilant, protect our homeland, troops,

and diplomats stationed abroad, and maintain our ability to quickly stop bad actors seeking to cause harm

to our people and our country.

In fact, as whether you like FISA or not, it is extremely important to our military.

I have spoken to many generals about this and they consider it vital.

Not one said even tacitly that they can do without it,

especially right now with our brilliant military operations in Iran.

Thank you for your attention to this very important matter present to LJ Trump.

So, you know, obviously I never suffered the military.

I'm not a general.

Those people obviously have more insight and more knowledge and way more first-hand

experience with this than I do or any of us do probably.

That doesn't mean we have to agree with it.

That doesn't mean we have to be okay with this.

And I know there's going to be a lot of people, the cheerleaders who are like,

yeah, let's get FISA going again.

The same ones who were to cry in it, back when it was abused against Trump.

And even like Cash Patel, which by the way, we have a great,

great like saga unfolding surrounding Cash Patel's girlfriend and Michael Flynn and that cohort.

The Cash Patel, all these people, like they were super against FISA when they weren't in the FBI.

I'm just, today's a rough one for me, guys.

I'm feeling salty today with the two things we started off with, this and that science technology thing.

What workforges has made a shutdown my whole business.

I can't have my catalog on there anymore and my reach is a percent of 1% of followers now.

But hey, man, Zuckerberg's on the science technology board.

You should be okay with your censorship.

Carl Sankuja, the new military AI is suing the administration for trying to use on everyone.

You think about that, like the, with the advancements and technologies of AI.

Like if you thought you couldn't trust the government before when they didn't have AI.

You think you can trust them now, like now the AI, if anything, is giving them more plausible deniability.

It's like, well, we didn't do the AI went rogue. It's not our fault.

If we think we can trust our government or any of these people to not abuse the power that they are asking for and being given without our, without our vote, they're taking it from us.

Illegitimately, because our elections are fraudulent and we have no way to hold these people accountable.

If you think they're not going to abuse that, you are smoking something that I would like to smoke with you.

Like I need some of that because it's ridiculous.

There's no way that these people are going to actually use this for good.

I know we want to trust that because Trump's in office.

But this is kind of right in line with what Trump does.

He pushes stuff forward.

It should expose it.

We should decry some of this stuff.

He wants us to think for ourselves.

And I know in this audience, we do a pretty job of that.

But for the most part, people ignore it.

They ignore the stuff that goes against their biases.

It just is what it is.

Does Trump need that to drop the hammer on for the midterms?

Even so, still bullshit.

Yeah, I believe we were able to abuse us more effectively.

So yes.

Keeping us safe.

This is from misbehaving Irishmen.

Is a dog whistle we should all worry about.

Yeah.

Project Lathers, I'm not a general, but I did say it all day and last night.

Love that.

At a cheaper gastro, I'll pull it up here in a minute, tie.

What else?

Too much social media, dude, ignore, move on.

I've been pretty good about social media.

I'm not engaging in any of the BS on Twitter.

I've been like muting and ignoring most of the drama.

Just sticking to the info.

I haven't been posting that much.

I mean, I don't think social media is affecting my train of thought right now.

These are these are my principles, my values that are when I see things that go against them,

it gets me a little upset.

Richard Roer says John the tech is 50 to 100 ahead of what we are aware of, and that's the problem.

We are we can't even like imagine the ways that these people are controlling us and like

spying on us, manipulating us.

PJ Corgan, something is very wrong today's Wednesday and we should be at our max level of F's to give, but I'm on E.

Yeah, you're right, the math on that is right.

It is the cost of a fucks to give higher now to like when get what's the what's the correlation between gas prices and how many F's we give?

Do we know does anybody know maybe probably math on has a conversion rate on that?

People always want the easy button.

I put all our savings into a brewery.

I started with two partners we opened in fall of 2019.

Whitmer killed it with COVID lockdowns in just six months.

Oh my gosh.

I mean, want I've always wanted to own a brewery.

That sounds amazing.

Polly, I didn't know that about you.

But yeah, that's you should come to North Dakota and start your brewery.

You can start with me.

We can start a brewery together bad brews.

If you have billions of dollars, you can have a small chair at the table definitely not cool of that shit big Zuckerberg.

Yeah.

That's exact.

It's like the norm norm meadows are supposed to see the hypocrisy, but they don't give a shit just give them a beer and factory life and they're trying to keep get their F on not that they should vote for.

Yeah, let's let me see what tide just sent over.

There we go.

I should be checking gas prices every day like I do the silver and gold and Bitcoin, but.

Anyway, Trump administration waves summer gasoline regulations to address surging fuel prices.

The way regulations on the types of gasoline that are sold during the summer in an effort to ease surging fuel prices during the Iran war.

EPA should emergency waiver to lift restrictions on the sale of E 15 gas a fuel blended with ethanol.

The sale of E 15 is restricted from June through September due to regulations designed to reduce air pollution.

That's so stupid.

Why do we have those in the first place?

And clearly they're not that important if we're waiving them to keep costs down.

Like if they were serious about, you know, hey, we want to reduce pollution because of the effect it's going to have on us down the road.

We clearly don't care about that right now because we want the prices to be lower during this war.

So get rid of that shit all together.

The EPA also issued a waiver to remove all federal impediments to selling E 10 gas, which is blended with 10% ethanol.

EPA waivers will work to prevent disruption in America's fuel supply by keeping E 15 and E 10 on the market and giving Americans more fuel options.

These are moves when when moves like this are made that signals to me that.

We may be looking at a longer conflict than people want to believe.

Maybe we're not.

I know yesterday we sent in that or not when I say we.

The Trump administration said they sent over a proposal.

Initially they said they, you know, it's all it's all been agreed to.

I ran came on denied it and then they said we were talking.

And now we heard that I ran as against the proposal.

We'll get into that story too.

But they're they're taking steps for the summer, which.

Yeah, it doesn't even start till May 1st.

That's you know month and a half now.

Seems like they're concerned about this.

Well into the future.

Just saying.

I thought how to understand this.

It seemed to me a wary some task.

Until I went into the sanctuary of God, then I discern their end.

Truly you set them in slippery places.

You make them fall to ruin.

Like that.

Somebody's hungry for ice cream now.

Oh yeah, they that's a good story to have forgot to pull that up.

I'm going to use the enlistment age.

And loosen the restrictions.

Now ask yourself why they would do this.

Just like logically.

The army raises enlistment age by seven years as military draft fears continue.

I'm not even saying military draft like that's not my concern.

But why would why would a military or a country that doesn't even have to be the United States?

Any military, especially one conflict, raise the maximum enlistment age for their military.

It is because maybe they anticipate the need for more people in the military probably.

We were told you know during the Biden years that the enlistments were down.

Right.

And then when Trump gets back in there, it's surging.

We've never had as many people join the military.

People can even believe how many people they've never thought it was possible.

You know, like I'm Trump talks hilarious.

But now we need more.

Would you say this is a good sign about what they're anticipating into the future.

And maybe there's nothing to do with Iran.

Maybe it's China.

Who knows.

The former maximum enlistment age was 35.

But they raise it.

And they also.

What else did they do?

They're losing the restriction.

It was something like if you have a.

If you were like.

The weed charge or something, you could still get in.

I don't remember.

It's because 40 is the new 30.

PJ.

Are you holding you PJ?

Are you 40?

What about the $150 million put bet on Trump's announcement the other day that paid off $1.5 billion?

Maybe.

Maybe that's a problem.

I think I have that story.

Special says maybe reducing the regulations now is just good timing excuse to get rid of some of the global warming agenda.

People won't can't fight it when prices are up.

That's a good point.

But Trump typically doesn't care about that stuff.

Like Trump has gone to war against the.

The climate agenda.

He's done multiple policies and stuff and implemented multiple changes that fly in the face of.

The climate.

Shit.

The green new deal.

Shit.

He doesn't care.

So I don't think they're.

I don't think that's it.

Marijuana charges ignore that's what special.

That says.

He's exact says maybe to reinvigorate a military atmosphere from experiences parents of children in future generations.

It would be.

Was weird about this whole thing.

Is to me like.

I feel like the future of warfare is not with.

with like overt boots on the ground type stuff. And I know there are probably always going

to be some some level of that needed if you know you're fighting wars. Like what we're

seeing in Iran with all the bombs and the anti air missiles and the drones and all that

stuff, the narrative stuff, the online stuff, the cyber stuff. That's where the future

war is. So again, why are we raising the enlistment age? Why do we need more people?

Just just pointing this stuff out that's grounded my gears lately guys today's a grind your

gears Wednesday. Okay, let's go through this story for a little bit. Probably won't go through

the whole thing even though it would be worth it because it's awesome. This goes back to what we've

been talking about with Trump. And I said this yesterday, right? Like the way Trump is approaching

this conflict and his rhetoric around it, he is all over the map. He is contradicting himself

sometimes within the same true social posts. He'll come out one day and say we won the war

and then he says, oh, we're meeting our objectives. You know, it could be done here in a couple

of weeks. He's just constantly contradicting himself. And the reason he does this, I said this

yesterday, is because when when you have like the media and the intelligence community and all

these all these people that constantly try to manipulate us through control of our mind,

through controlling the narratives, they can't do that when they don't know what the hell is going

from his carpet bombing, the entire spectrum of the narrative hitting it all. And so they can't

control any aspect of it. There's nothing they can do. And this article is like a perfect summary

of him doing that. I think it's a masterclass. I really do. People will look at it and say he's just

a liar, which he is. I mean, that's what he's doing when he's pulling these siops. Some people

will say he's incompetent. I totally disagree with that. Some people think it's like a meme like a

joke. I get that reading. But no, he's doing it intentionally. And he's taking the weapons away

from our enemies in a lot of way and not like I ran our enemies. But the people here domestically

that are constantly screwing us over the intel community, the media. Let's just read a little bit

of this. Epic Flurry, how Trump's words on Iran have yo-yoed over the weeks of war.

For the course of nearly a month since the first US strikes in Iran, President Donald Trump is

yo-yoed from demanding unconditional surrender to teasing a possible detent. Infusion has become a

mark of this war. It's so true. Trump has dubiously claimed Iran posed an imminent threat to the US

months after declaring the US obliterated Iran's nuclear capabilities. He's given a multitude of

reasons for launching a war in the first place. He's declared victory scores of times only to

qualify those claims later on. He's demanded Iran's unconditional surrender and suggested he

already won the war. Then he announced over the weekend that he held productive talks with Iran.

Though the country's foreign ministry at first tonight Trump's claim, the Iranians later

acknowledged that the US initiated conversations. Now 1000 US soldiers from the 82nd Airborne

Division are preparing to deploy to the Middle East after Trump repeatedly refused to save

ground troops would be necessary. They took a comprehensive view. They have clips here of how

many times you can win a war. They talk about unconditional surrender versus a deal. They talk about

ahead of schedule and then on an unclear timeline. The best case, worst case for who should lead

Iran. Sometimes it's the same person. Trump's worst case is playing out. Will the US

make ground troops? The answer is not no. Sometimes it is no. It shows their utter lack of

comprehension and ability to control the narrative. I think it's fantastic. We are going to talk about

this more tonight on the power hour. This is discombobulating. This is the discombobulator that

Trump talks about.

Trump is a rug. This is from King Bee. There are elites and then there are the rest of us.

That's it. I disagree with the rug part. Unless he's doing it intentionally.

But yeah, there are elites and there are the rest of us. We should be grateful for the scraps we

get, guys. London China retargets look harder. So why do so many people think a nuclear threat

is the only possible imminent threat? It seems to be the mainstream media talking point. That's a

good point. But we haven't gotten a clear picture of what that threat is. I think that's the part

that is frustrating to most people, I would say. But that's what they're harping down on the mainstream

too and on social media. They're calling out Trump or trying to be like, well, if there's an

imminent threat, what was it? Based on the public narrative and the typical discourse,

the threat didn't change. We took away the narrative threat in June with Operation Midnight Hammer.

But I doubt we're going to get the truth on that for a while. 2020 Joseph sounds like China is

having a tough week. I'm having a good week. Don't go, you're wrong. I'm having a good week.

I'm just salty about a few stories.

I mean, thankful for scraps is not possible for me during tax season. Yeah.

Yeah. What is this? Brian official sends...

Oh, yeah, this was weird too. Let me let me pull this up. Trump says that I ran

give him like a present and doesn't see what it is.

Because they're going to make a deal. They're going to make a deal. They did something yesterday

that was amazing. Actually, they gave us a present and the present derived today. It was a very

big present worth a tremendous amount of money. And I'm not going to tell you what that present

is, but it was a... Right off the bat. I'm going to rewind it because understanding how Trump talks,

this is confusing. He says they did something yesterday. They gave us a present that he says

it arrived today. So wouldn't they have given it to us today then? Or they gave it yesterday and

somebody brought it back. They gave it to maybe one of his negotiators who brought it back today.

I don't know. Because they're going to make a deal. They're going to make a deal. They did

something yesterday that was amazing. Actually, they gave us a present and the present derived

today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. And I'm not going to tell you

what that present is, but it was a very significant prize. And they gave it to us and they said

they were going to give it. So that meant one thing to me would deal with the right people.

No, it wasn't nuclear. It was oil and gas related. And it was a very nice thing they did. But

what it showed me is that we're dealing with the right people. Because you know, you don't know,

because the leadership was killed. All gone. Come any all gone. As the expression goes,

the past Supreme Leader. And then the new Supreme Leader was racked up at a minimum racked up

pretty good. And everyone else was gone. And then many of the people in the third tier are gone.

But we're dealing with a group of people that I think had turned out. And the present, the gift

they made to us was very significant. And they said they were going to do it. And it happened.

And they're the only ones that could have done it. Jennifer.

What is it related to the strength of losing the flow?

Yeah, it was related to the flow to the strike.

What do you guys think that is? It's oil and gas related.

It's something that you, it's tangible, right? You said it arrived yesterday.

Something you could send.

So what, what could it be?

And it comes from the leadership, whoever he's negotiating with,

has to do with the straight of her moves and the flow of oil.

It got there quickly, right? He said we got a yesterday, or they gave it to us yesterday.

And it got here today. So it's something you fly by plane. But it's big worth a lot of money.

A doubt it's a tanker. A least.

It's exact. That's, I mean, I was kind of thinking that too, like, is it some sort of oil, right?

So it's some kind of old, like, contract.

A doubt it's a dick in a box. Although that would be funny.

Yeah, I'm curious what you guys think it might be. I honestly have no idea.

Contract, yeah, that's.

Maybe they sent back their, um, their uranium and machine uranium.

John took away the production of nuclear material, not the material, nuclear

material, station in the way. It's not their oil tankers.

Palette of cash.

It could be Intel. It's a good guess.

The WMD's bush was looking for. Maybe it's a person.

Maybe they sent back a person.

Yeah, I don't know. I wonder if we'll figure it out. I wonder if they'll tell us

eventually what it is.

Gart tickets. That's probably what it was. They sent them Gart tickets.

That's why it's so excited about it.

The discount bottle. These are all great guesses.

I'll say you just says it's 5% of future profits. Remember, I said it.

We were probably getting that regardless. Something like that.

I'm probably more.

They have verified its oil tankers.

Well, then what the heck Trump and Trump is discombobulating all of us.

This is not what he said.

I love those kind of guessing games. All those puzzles. Those are fun.

Let's talk about what else with the Iran war.

Iran rejects US ceasefire offer. Demands sovereignty over straight of the

hormones. Iran will not accept a ceasefire offer from the US,

according to Iranian state media. As far as news agency state media outlets said there have been

increased US efforts to put a ceasefire into effect and began indirect talks with Iran.

The Associated Press reported that Iran has received President Donald Trump's 15-point

peace plan. I think I have a.

Yeah, this from zero hedge. They apparently countered with five conditions for ending the war

themselves. And their five conditions are a complete halt to aggression and assassinations by

the enemy. The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not

is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic, guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages

and reparations. The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistant groups involved

throughout the region and international recognition and guarantees regarding Iran's sovereign

right to exercise authority over the straight of hormones. I mean, I feel like the two sides are

rather far apart from the Trump's 15 points to these five points.

I don't know, it's going to be interesting. Another story here,

let's get into some of the Badlands news stories. Andrew I'm Palantir developing software for

Trump's Golden Dome Missile Defense Project. The stuff is still taken off.

They're working together on software for President Trump's Golden Dome Missile Defense Initiative.

The 185 billion dollar program aims to build a space-based system designed to intercept

ballistic crews and hypersonic missiles with hundreds of companies competing for contracts.

You know, when General Quast talks about this, I get the impression that this defense system

isn't going to be like traditional, okay, we're shooting a rocket and trying to just hit the

missile in mid-air, even though there's probably going to be some level of that too. But it's

taking out the missiles while they're in the silos before they're even shot. It's like the

technology to be able to detect when these missiles are about to go live and get shot out and taking

out those missiles then in the silo. That's what real like Golden Dome Defense looks like.

Where's your reward job? But what's the point? I don't know what you're asking or why you're asking that.

Let's do this one. This story, I mean, this has been a long time coming. Missouri versus Biden

settlement limits federal pressure on social media platforms. The fact that this case is finally

over is what is kind of crazy. It's been such a long time. I think that started back in

yeah, 2022. Long time, four years. The settlement in the Missouri of the Biden lawsuit

has imposed new restrictions on how certain federal agencies interact with social media companies

and in the case through a consent decree that establishes long-term limits on government

involvement in content moderation decisions. The fact that they have any any involvement at all

is stupid. The agreement bars officials at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,

including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as the SISA,

from pressuring social media platforms to remove suppress or reduce the reach of constitutionally

protected speech. Why is it just those agencies? I know they are the ones that were focused,

the focus of the lawsuit, but shouldn't it just be government-wide like none of you people in

government should be able to pressure social media platforms to remove suppress or reduce the

reach of constitutionally protected speech. It also prevents federal officials from threatening

legal regulatory or economic consequences to influence how companies moderate content under the

terms of the settlement. The government is subject to a 10-year court enforceable injunction

outlining those limits. The agreement marks the resolution of all remaining claims in the case,

which alleged coordination between federal officials and social media platforms over content,

moderation decisions. And I still do not believe that we have free speech in this country,

rather than a million times. The DOJ is seeking House Intel records tied to former CIA Director Brennan.

I'm assuming this has to do with the Rico Grande case. This is a fun one. NASA accelerates

plan for permanent moon base with more frequent missions. NASA announced a major push Tuesday to

establish a permanent presence on the moon, aligning its efforts with President Trump's national

space policy. Jared Eisenman said the agency is aiming to build a lasting lunar base

with a shift toward faster timelines and more frequent missions.

The plans call for a phase approach beginning with robotic deliveries and early infrastructure

and progressing towards long-term human habitation. As part of the effort, NASA said it plans

to increase lunar landing cadence, targeting crude missions as frequently as every six months,

as capabilities and commercial systems mature. Let's see what else. They also outlined a push

to expand advanced propulsion, including the development of nuclear power propulsion systems with

the goal of enabling deeper space exploration beyond the moon. Let me see if we're going to go

to the moon. It's going to be a staging ground. They want a permanent lunar base to strengthen US

leadership in space and eventually get us to Mars. Why haven't we been able to go back, guys?

I'll Rocky 20201 says, I'll assure you, if we are spending billions of dollars on bombs,

it's definitely going to what we want, not Iran bombs away.

I'm late. Phil Scarbus says, I'm late. Did we talk about Cash's girlfriend's post on Flynn?

We're getting there. I'm plugging away. I got like 14 minutes left. Let me see if there's any other

stories. I hope to do that. This is the story. I think we touched on the CSTR the day before,

Monday, say, Wednesday. Yeah. There's a bunch of mysterious trading patterns that we're taking

place right before Trump announced the potential peace deal and oil prices. I mean, some insider

trading that felt like this is what Raskin said. I was talking about earlier. Raskin says he has

damning memo on Trump classified documents case. He says he's obtained what he says is damning

memo containing previously unknown allegations about prison Trump's handling of classified documents

when he was out of office. Can't wait to see it, Jamie. You douchebag. I think that might be,

this is interesting. We haven't seen these yet, but the House Intel Committee released or is

releasing a hidden transcript of Inspector General Michael Ackinson and this has to do with the

Eric Chilamella fellow and Alexander Vindman and the 2019 impeachment. Again, they haven't been

released yet, but they're going to redact them and put them out. They voted to release it. So

this is going to be a fun document to go through whenever it does eventually get out.

I just want to note that for you guys, meta is laying off hundreds of workers as they continue

to pivot more with AI. Here's everybody's freaking out about the midterms again as they always do

because the Democrats have flipped Trump's Mar-a-Lago district in Florida. I think it was a district

he carried like plus 11 points. 11 points swinging towards Democrats. Not so don't care elections

are fraudulent. This is another story. I think we're going to talk about this a little bit tonight.

A foreign investment in Paramount Warner Brothers deal flagged by Democrats, Senators, and FCC

letter. And then here, here you go, Phil. This is what we're going to discuss. So everybody's freaking

out, losing their minds over this post from Alexis Wilkins, who is Cash Patel's girlfriend.

And here's to see what you guys think of this. So back when, I don't even remember when it was.

I don't know when they started dating. I heard that they met at a general Flynn event,

like they reawaken to her in Nashville. That's where Cash and her met. They started dating whatever.

He becomes the FBI director. And a lot of people went after Alexis Wilkins. I have no idea who she

is. I've never seen anything from her. I think she's country music something. Never heard any of her

songs. I don't know what she does who she is. Nothing about her. But a lot of people were calling

her Mossad. She sued like three people to the tune of five million dollars or something crazy,

which is ironically less than the lawsuit following against me, which is absolutely hysterical. But

anyway, she sued a few people. And then she puts out this post. And it's basically calling out

the Flynn network. I'll read a couple tweets of this. A foreign linked influence network has been

running coordinated operations against the Trump administration for 22 months. I know it's real

because they ran one against me. I was targeted. Something I knew was far from organic. This level of

media is isolating unwanted and unwarranted. I've been targeted too. So I can relate Alexis.

There was nobody to help. Nobody to jump in and say this is a false op and help me. She was

dating me or to the FBI. Well, I don't believe in problems without solutions. So I spent the last

few months learning to build programs to utilize publicly available information to prove that this

is way bigger than me. This is about creating chaos in the Republican Party. It's about organized

effort to lose Republicans. The midterms. Not the midterms. And so for President Trump's agenda,

I have the data for you to see. And don't get me wrong. I think all those things are happening.

There are people attempting to create chaos in the Republican Party and just all over.

There are organized efforts to subvert Trump constantly. That is going on. I don't know if she's

right about where it's coming from. I think it's coming. I think it's all like part of a controlled

apodynamic. When I see stuff like this in these conflicts of people online, especially the big,

big influencers, I see them all on the same side. They're not actually at conflict with each other.

They're just helping control the narrative for the people that we are all in conflict with.

In July 2025, she says I was falsely labeled a massage spy in a coordinated campaign designed to

isolate an official of the US government by using the person publicly nearest to him.

It's not a motor boyfriend. Across the full operation, July's events and others dating back to 2024,

six chapters, 22 months. The data shows 3.1 million retreat and retweet engagements. 80% of

all activity was peer amplification. 659 accounts retweeted to the same post, some retweeted one

second apart. 15 pairs retweeted within 10 seconds like all of this. I don't care. This is all stupid.

And then here we go. The network has a trail. Catholics for Catholics, this general Flynn,

Michael Flynn, the general Flynn that we know. As current senior advisor on their own website,

Flynn is the anchor of the digital infrastructure that has been repeatedly activated

at every major Republican fracture point. Over 22 months of documented data,

same accounts appear at every chapter. This network does not rebuild between deployments.

It stays ready. It goes on to talk about Ivan Raiklin.

Talks about this coordinated narrative falsely identifying FBI Director's girlfriend,

Esmasad Honeypot. She calls it a foreign amplification, which I'm sure they did.

Calls out Candace Owens.

I'm Joe Kent.

List a whole bunch of like, I wonder if I retweeted anything in here. I think I saw that Colonel

Watkins was in this list. I was going to do again.

To me, this is all just drama, guys. It's all just drama. I can't tell you how many times I've

been called Masad. You name it. CCP, a Fed. I'm going to call all that stuff.

I typically take it as a compliment. I will say it's annoying. There's a bunch of unjust

attacks against me. I do feel they are unjust, unwarranted, a lot of them based on lies.

I don't like them, but they don't actually ever get to me. I think it's funny that

these people spend so much time focused on hating me. We don't return fire. We'll talk generally

about the people that are doing this bullshit. We never give them any actual tension. Never

call them up by name. The stuff that's most annoying is when we see our friends who see it going on,

and they either ignore it or participate in whatever. That's the shit that's like, you guys

are idiots. But the fact that she had to come out here and do this post and make it so detailed

and draw so much attention to it and drawing so much attention to the conflict, the podcast

or wars. This makes it feel part of a little controlled opposition dynamic type thing.

That's all I'm saying. What do you guys think?

Until we determine exactly who the bad line's fed is, John is the fed. I'm pretty sure we

determined it was Alpha. If there was a fed, it could be wrong. But that is probably how you

should all operate at all times, like just assume everybody's a fed online. Don't trust anybody,

so you don't know personally. Since Stuart, no organization is aselproof. That is so true.

Project leather, so John, you never got your 7k from Assad. Check must be the male. I wish.

I've always said, we'll take money from whoever. If Assad wants to give us money, we'll do it,

but we just won't. We're just like a pusher message. We're going to say whatever we want to say.

Which is why we don't get the money. Quite Coney, lawyers for cash nonprofit appear to be representing

her. All this is suspect. Tension farming is this polymath on. Yep.

Your mom is a fed. My mom is not a fed. Come to a guard. You'll probably be my, if you come to

the dead with guards, she usually comes to that one. You can tell pretty quickly she's not a fed.

If alpha is a fed, G money is misod. Ghost must be misod. Jordan was considered, but until proven

otherwise, everyone's a fed. Stay frosty. Yeah. Amen. This drama, I try not to even

let it take up a moment of my time. I really don't care. I don't care about any of this stuff.

I'm also care about how these people treat and interact with me personally. I've never met

Alexis Wilkins. Don't know our cash battled and did not appear to be a phantom.

But I'm not going to get I'm not going to offer an actual opinion on which side is right in this stupid

drama because it's all it is drama. I'm not going to give my attention. I don't listen or

trust or watch any of these guys content anyway. That's even general flint. I don't watch

this stuff. I don't have time. I don't know what he's doing. I definitely don't watch out

Jones when he's on there. I don't watch that period. So I really don't care.

What's up? Ash is back in the chat. Did the people posted for Israel not get the money or

and are they? I did hear a story like that.

Alan's needs a Russian podcaster. Vlad lands. I love that.

The people posted for Israel. I just wrote that one. Sap drama. I'm always the time.

Not all feds are bad. More good than bad, John. I only care about our grocery prices.

Three cent of our gas and those hurting around me. I can relate to that.

Bella's media fan says, is there going to be another exclusive live stream tomorrow? Yes,

there is. Get your guard tickets.

But with that guys, I think I'm going to get out of here. I think that's all I got.

I don't think there's any other stories.

But I will be back tonight on the power hour. So make sure you guys hit that thumbs up.

Stick around bad lands. It's got a great day full of content for you and tonight,

me and Burning Bright will wrap it all up with a pretty lively discussion. A lot about

narratives tonight again. Some financial stuff, economic stuff. But yeah. So I hope you guys

have a good rest of your day. Walbert Forge said for five dollars in the chat,

rumble, rant, get yourself a sports drink to replenish that salt you just expanded. I will do that.

I have a little meeting on soft disclosure here with Ash and the team.

Then after that, I will get myself a sports drink. But yeah, you guys have a good rest of your day.

I will see you later this evening.

Oh, that's real good.
