## Resource

Josh Reid flies solo this Sunday, with Alpha Warrior home sick, and turns it into his first solo Badlands show. On the itinerary: the AI fear porn cycle and why the doom mongering matters for what comes next technologically, plus a Peter Thiel clip Josh reads as secretly on the right side of the argument. From there it is Trump against the globalists, framed as an unfolding fight with the old guard, the London bankers and the leftover institutions of the British Empire, freshly relevant after Trump's Ireland trip. Josh works the rumor mill on why Joe diGenova abruptly resigned from the Florida grand jury investigating Brennan, tying it back to that August meeting with Blanche and Cash Patel and what it signals about pending indictments. He closes on the midterms, Trump's $5,000 dividend check as incentive, and why he thinks an economic boom lands around 2027. Bring your gold bug curiosity.
