Badlands Media - Badlands Daily: 7/8/26 - Tyler Robinson Hearing Bombshells, McConnell Mystery & Iran Redux

Episode Date: July 8, 2026

CannCon and Ashe dig into day two of the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing, walking through a stack of courtroom clips that raise more questions than answers: mystery body cam footage, a curiously un...secured bullet, and DNA testimony that gets more technical than convincing. From there they pivot to the increasingly bizarre saga of Mitch McConnell's health, with dueling claims about brain death, hospital stays, and a Secretary who allegedly fled to China. Toyota's massive Texas investment and its labor market ripple effects get a look too. Then it is back to geopolitics as the Iran conflict flares up again in the Strait of Hormuz, complete with a wild audio warning from the Iranian navy, plus Trump's blunt NATO remarks that leave one member nation out in the cold. Expect plenty of side quests, sponsor breaks, and the usual banter along the way.

Starting point is 00:00:00 The Badlands, one of the Badlands, explain those Badlands. That's a hell of a name. All right. Good morning, Badlandia. Welcome to Badlands Daily. It's Ash Wednesday, so that means I'm joined by Ash, not that I'm blaspheming against the church, but... You know, I think the drums really make that song. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:28 I mean the Fife. Is that what you call it the Fife? Like the fife sound of the guitar. It's not an actual fife. It's the guitar making that sound. Yeah, no, I'm telling you, the drums actually make the song. No, I'm going with the guitar. I'm going with the guitar.
Starting point is 00:00:44 The guitarist that can make that guitar sound like a fife. Yeah, it's great. I'm glad you incorporated it into the intro because I was a little sad when I was like, you know, it's Fourth of July. It's over America again. Yeah, I know. Well, that's the, that's the sadness, right? With the soft disclosure as is, especially if they're tied to a holiday. It's like, oh, man, like where's Burning Bright the bunny or the leprechaun? Femeral experiences. They're going to. We'll never have the lotion raider, the lotion detector. The, uh, it's all gone. But we're here, but we're here. Happy Wednesday, everyone.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Yeah, happy Wednesday. It's Wednesday, man. Pump day. Yeah. Are you going to give an update on Tyler Robinson? Because I know nothing about, I'm actually out of the news cycle. I'm going to be mostly useless. I absolutely am going to give an update on that.

Starting point is 00:02:39 Absolutely. And love his products.

Just taking oregano oil and you can take it prophylactically. You can take it when you're sick. So everybody should have some in their medicine cabinet. And this is not medical advice.
Starting point is 00:03:00 It's good advice. I mean, life advice. Jordan's pretty clear about it. Flip the finger to big pharma, but, you know. Still not medical advice. Yeah. Also, we've got our good friends over at Tamarack Gardens as well. Three boys taught me two things.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Summer is an adventure and bugs are relentless. As a herbalist, I know you don't need harsh chemicals to protect your family. Here at Tamrat Garden, we've got you covered. with natural sunscreen, mosquito and tick repellent that's even safe for your pets, a salve to draw up bug bites, and soothing sunburn cream, all made with the power of plants because we think summer memories should last longer than the bug bites.

Starting point is 00:03:47 She weeds. Her, so her, what is it called, peace and calm. Now, again, not medical advice. Stuff's basically natural Xanax. So you should have some of that in your medicine cabinet as well, tamarackgarden.com. Peace and calm is what you're looking for there. Also, she's got a range of, I don't know if you call them supplements, nutrients, maybe, but they're all natural foraged weeds that she's made into tinctures that actually do work.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Amazing, amazing, amazing products. All right. So let's start out here with the Tyler Robinson update. So yesterday was day two of the preliminary hearing. I have watched almost all of day one. And then I streamed day two yesterday. I was like, this is too good not to stream. And it allows me to be more engaged and not listen passively in the background.
Starting point is 00:04:43 And I'll tell you what, man. This is, it's really interesting first and foremost because there's been two camps in this saga, right? There's either the, you know, the Candace and, you know, the Ian Carroll and the Tyler Robinson absolutely didn't do it. He's a Patsy. And then there's been the, we should just lock him away now and like put him in the chair and just put the sponge on his head right now. We don't even need to go through this trial process. And both sides are absurd. I've, I have my, my own, you know, opinions on what went going into the, this preliminary hearing.
Starting point is 00:05:24 it's not a trial. This is a probable cause preliminary hearing, meaning they are presenting to a magistrate to say, because it wasn't a grand jury, we have enough to go to trial and the judge or the magistrate at the end will say, yes, you do or no, you don't, right? No grand jury, huh? No, there wasn't a grand jury. Nope. And I can see why, to be honest with you, I can see why. I'm looking at this objectively. and there's some points on both sides here that are very interesting.
Starting point is 00:05:58 We got some clips to go through. I'm going to try not to take shots at my brother from another mother, Alpha, even though he took some at me last year. Why would you try to not? We'll get into it. He's always been too nice, Brian. This is probably the biggest fight that Brian and I have is that he's too nice. And shying away, trying away, taking shots at Alpha.
Starting point is 00:06:22 has happened to you. I'm, I'm, I'm being very, Alpha was very nice too. He just, you know, he, he highlighted some of the clips that I'm about to play here and had, uh, some disparities or discrepancies or, you know, differing opinions. So you think his takes are wrong and yours are right. Some of them are right. Or at least I got in the right direction. Brian and Alfa fight. And we get Brian good and mad for tomorrow's daily where it's all going to come to blows. So let's try ahead and play this first clip here. And this is the lead SBI special agent in charge of the investigation. His name's David Hull, and he's British, I believe, I mean, based on the accent, he's British, which is quite interesting.
Starting point is 00:07:08 And this, this to me is one of the fundamental problems with this whole thing. Check this out. Is there any footage of the alleged shooting? There is not, Judge. Okay. I just want to clarify that. Ms. Nestor, given that additional information and anything further from defense. No, but I think I'd like to be crystal clear.
Starting point is 00:07:40 You asked if there's any portion of this video that captures. I believe you asked of the actual shooting. There's no video of that. There is video, however, and you've heard testimony related to this, where the shooter goes to the top of the low-sea building. goes out to the edge of the building low crawls and then leaves after what we assume is the shot being fired that's as close as it gets that um kairon that kairn said murder trial uh yeah i guess is it so what do you mean but you mean the word the term trial or the term murder
Starting point is 00:08:22 i kirk murder trial is what they're calling this you're saying it's not the trial this is how in the loop i am on this case i don't even know where we are this is the preliminary hearing so they're presenting their cases but they don't have to present beyond a reasonable doubt right and good did you see so so back to what they're saying in the clip did did they play that video yes and does he crawl off screen or something why why so he's on screen that's the crazy part he's on screen but we don't but we don't have the video of him taking the shot. The other part that was really interesting about this yesterday, and there was a big discrepancy about this, they show the zoomed out version in full, right? Him on the roof and everything else.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Then they take the version, they zoom in on what's alleged to be Tyler Robinson, and they don't show it to the media. And there was a big kerfuffle about why they're not going to show this to the media. And they're like, well, the media doesn't need to see this. and because they've already seen the zoomed out version. And so we got this little, and I'm going to show it to you here in a second. This is what they're alleging proves that it was Tyler Robinson on the roof and he took the shot. And again, in the top left corner, the individual is across the rooftop of the Losey building. Oh, they got him.
Starting point is 00:09:46 It's dead to rights on that. Corner of the building, crouching down and then crawling to the corner of the building. And this is at what time? By the way, I just want you to notice there appears to be like smoke or something coming off the corner of this building. And if you go back and rewatch the whole thing, the smoke looks just as definitive as a person as the alleged person. Around 1223. I think the timestamp on the video is 1222. On the 10th.
Starting point is 00:10:23 On September 10th, yes. We're clear. This is the roof of the low sea building. Correct. Can you still see that individual? Yes, you can lane prone. If you squint and kind of blur your eyes. Open your mind. Open your mind. I mean, he doesn't even... You believe this to be Mr. Robinson? I do, yes. And how long is he out there on the edge of the building? Just until the reported shot was fired at 12, 23 and 28, individual then stands up and then moves across the building to the north. Is that what we're seeing happening right now? It is, yes.
Starting point is 00:11:13 They move behind the atrium area on the rooftop for the northeast. And then the rest of that we've all seen. And is there a closer up shot where you can make out whether or not that is, in fact, Tyler Robinson? that's what we're going on yeah so do we have enough to proceed and try this kid for murder no let's let's keep let's keep going because not based on that no not based on that so then they get to and it's because nobody should be convicted based on that because that was a grainy black spot moving across a screen so let me go back to this right here and and this is another thing that I would like to have cleared up.
Starting point is 00:11:56 This is how they build up that Tyler Robinson was there and that this was him. Okay. And here's this part right here where his car allegedly is pulling into the parking garage. I appreciate that, Judge. Thank you. Go ahead. Now I want to pause right here for one second and keep it here because I just want you guys to notice. Those right there are stock rims on a Dodge Challenger.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Okay, every Dodge Challenger with a certain package, like sports package, I don't know the specific package. Those are OEM rims on a Dodge Challenger. What are we seeing here, Agent Hall? That's the vehicle, as believed to belong to Mr. Robinson arriving in the parking garage on campus. At what time in the morning? What time in the day? It's approximately 8.30 in the morning on September 10th, 2025. And what leads you to believe this particular vehicle belongs to Mr. Robinson?
Starting point is 00:12:52 information that was provided regards to driver's license and department and motor vehicle records the vehicle fits the description of a hold on hold on hold on that this is a key part because I don't know what they mean by this I did regards to driver's license and department motor vehicle records the vehicle fits the description of a vehicle owned by Mr. Robinson is there anything unique about that vehicle that stands out to you the the shape of the vehicle is very distinct, but predominantly the wheels were very distinctive on this version of the vehicle. Okay. So when he says the driver's license bureau and the motor vehicle
Starting point is 00:13:31 records provided information on the vehicle, he doesn't say they ran the plates, they got the plate number. It matched Tyler Robinson's vehicle. They say they got a description of the vehicle. And this is where it was kind of unclear. And again, this is a preliminary hearing, so you're not going to prod this nearly as much as you would otherwise. I want to know, Did they give them the driver's license or did they get those records when they gave him Tyler Robinson's name? And they said he has a 2019 Dodge Challenger. This is, you know, this is the make and model of the vehicle. And then they looked at that and drew that conclusion.
Starting point is 00:14:05 And that's unclear, to be perfectly clear, that's unclear. Did they get those records from the license plate or did, and a cop does later on in the day, like much later on in the day, run the plate. but you'll see why that's so it is his car allegedly we don't know if they ran the plate then that should seem to get us beyond allegedly no no no they ran the plate at night like much much okay so so just to be clear the the point so we have the grainy figure running across the top of the roof and then they say he's definitely there because we see a car that matches the make and model of a car that Tyler Robinson owns going into the parking garage, but they don't run the plate on the car in the parking garage,
Starting point is 00:14:53 and they don't like, we don't know if they ran the plate. What the British guy just said, and is the British guy the prosecutor? He's the lead investigator for the state bureau of investigation. It's a red coat problem with that, but setting it aside. He doesn't say, we checked and know definitively that this is the car. He says it matches the make.
Starting point is 00:15:14 model of a car that Tyler Robinson owns. There were thousands of people there that day. And I imagine lots of cars going in and out of the parking garage. Do they ever at any point prove that that's his car? So can they even place him there? Again, if they didn't run the license plate, then no. I don't think so. But if they had the license plate, they should have made clear, we got the license plate
Starting point is 00:15:36 number, ran it. It confirmed it was Tyler Robinson's car. That's not what they said. They said, we got information from the DMV. And you can see the decision. distinct shape of the car. Dodge Challengers are not a distinct shape. That's an absurd comment to make. It's a crazy statement. Well, it matches the shape of the car that he owned. The unique rims, which are stopped. Would you say they ran the license plate? Did they run the license plate from this
Starting point is 00:15:58 footage? No, no, no, no. So they ran a license plate of ostensibly a different car? A cop ran into him on the street much later on and got a partial plate and ran the partial plate. from a legal standpoint i i think that we're back at they still have to prove he's there exactly that let me let me continue showing because it gets even sketchier and i'm completely out of the loop on this i'm sorry if i'm asking dumb questions that everybody already knows that's the foundation of how they're identifying that he's there okay so now watch as it continues now it'll be seen this is mr robinson returning to the campus on foot from the neighborhood to the northeast You can see he's wearing the same clothing as in the previous video.
Starting point is 00:16:52 And he's carrying a blue backpack. Describe the clothing. It's a maroon-colored t-shirt with gray or olive-colored shorts and then converse shoes. Where's the 30-odd-6? He doesn't have yet. And what time did he return to campus? Just after 10 a.m. And does he leave the parking structure eventually?
Starting point is 00:17:17 He does, yes. And during this visit, do you know where he goes after he leaves the parking structure? Yes, we're able to track his movements on campus. He went to Chick-fil-A in the Sorensen building and purchased some food, sat and ate the food. Okay, so at one point, at one point they say he actually went down to the where Charlie Kirk was speaking at. He wasn't, I don't think he was speaking yet, but they went down there and he engaged with some people from TP USA, they say. And that's all they said about that, which a lot of people are calling that suspicious. I mean, for all we know, maybe he was just going down there and just said, hey, what's up?
Starting point is 00:17:54 You know, whatever. This, now watch when he changes a clothes and now he's going to have the rifle allegedly in his pants. Now watch, watch how they identify that this is now Tyler Robinson in a new attire. Listen to what the prosecutor, the investigator, how they identified him. I'm sorry. Where did he purchase the food from? Chip fillet in the Sorrentson Center. And where is that in relation to the amphitheater or the courtyard?
Starting point is 00:18:23 It's on the on the and from there where does he go? From there he moves across campus out across campus drive Into a wooded area on what would be kind of the northeast side of campus drive Then returns back onto campus We noticed at this point he's no longer carrying the back back back that he was originally wearing. He moved through the Gunther building and the computer science building.
Starting point is 00:18:53 And then, I'm sorry. And then goes where? Then goes across to the railing that gives access to the roof of the Losi building. From there? From there, he comes back down the stairs and walks off campus from that point. And about what time was that?
Starting point is 00:19:14 That he's probably an exact chance. Chess. Hold on. Were you able to recall what? And what do you believe it's? He did previously on foot. And this takes just a moment. And why, well, let me ask you this.
Starting point is 00:19:34 You believe this is Mr. Robinson returning to campus? I do, yes. And what do you believe is Mr. Robinson? The shoes are the same and the images that we have are from from my viewing and seeing mr robinson on the video it's the same person and that's how they identified him it's a feeling it's at any point do they show his face no not really none of the videos capture his face no not really we didn't be a problem we didn't get any of the like you know the the the high resolution stuff that we got uh and you know all the stuff we got leading up to it right
Starting point is 00:20:16 So it's interesting. We had a lot of stuff that, you know, condemned him come out beforehand. And then when we get into this preliminary hearing, there's actually a lot of stuff that comes out that that exonerates him or at least raises doubt. Like, and again, this is just purely coincidental, I'm sure. But check this out. This is the, this is the cop that responded. He had just come on duty about an hour before the shooting. and he got up to the building and he was on the rooftop.
Starting point is 00:20:48 He was one of the cops that was up on the rooftop investigating that. Your body cam footage that I reviewed appears to end while you're still on the roof. Do you know why that is? I think the battery went dead. It was just right that moment. Okay. And do you know, did you ever turn it back on that day or go get it? I don't know what do you have to do, charge it or stick a new battery in?
Starting point is 00:21:12 And I don't even know. Usually docket, but no, I didn't go back. I was too chaotic running around. So your body cam footage. So he had 27 minutes of body cam footage and his battery went dead. An hour into shift. These batteries are designed to last an entire shift. Just sure, maybe coincidence.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Okay, let's chalk it up. Coincidence. The next clip, and I don't want to spend all day on this. So remember we were always told, remember we were always told, and Andrew Colved did like this thing about the guy that grabbed this SD cards from the cameras. And he was like, he did this whole dramatic thing. Tucker Carlson was on. And he did this whole dramatic thing.
Starting point is 00:21:58 And he's like, I talked to Tyler. He's been with us since day one. And when he took the SD cards, he said, I had to take the SD cards. People are evil, evil. And he was so dramatic, like so heartfelt. felt right? Yeah, turns out that wasn't exactly true. Check this out. Yes, we were able to collect video. TPSA had a videographer, visual impulse, who was taking coverage of the event,
Starting point is 00:22:29 and they provided video to us that they had captured on September 10th of 2025. And do you know who or how that video was collected from visual impulse? Yeah, Mr. Farnsworth originally provided, I believe, a flash drive to Lieutenant O'Brien with one of the local agencies. And a short time after that on September 10th, he provided downloadable versions, electronic versions to Agent Mortensen. So he didn't give the SD card. He gave a flash drive, which implies that it was loaded from the SD card onto a computer and then uploaded onto a flash drive. Okay, let's keep going. And an 1102 was collected from him on May 6th of 2026. So an 1102 was prepared by someone with visual impulse?
Starting point is 00:23:19 Yes, Terrell Farnsworth was the individual that prepared it and in preparation for this. I spoke to him personally regarding that statement. And do you know what his association is with visual impulse? I believe he's the owner-operator or the director of the company. And then who collected that 1102 statement from Mr. Farnsworth? It was Agent Monson who collected it. Okay, and you know that because Agent Mortensen told you or?
Starting point is 00:23:45 He provided it to me. And then as I mentioned, I subsequently spoke to Terrell Farnsworth personally regarding his statement. Okay. You had a chance to look at Mr. Farnsworth's 1102 statement? I have, yes. Okay. And again, does that statement include an advisory that any statement that he provided would be used to preliminary hearing in lieu of his life testimony? Yes. Did it also include a warning that a false statement would potentially be punished by a class name misdemeanor?
Starting point is 00:24:21 It did, yes. Okay. Oh, crap. This isn't the clip that shows he didn't give him this stuff until the full context of it until like eight months later. May 2026. May of 2026. He said that. Yeah. Oh, he did say that. Okay. Okay. So yeah, there. It wasn't handed. That was where I went. Yeah. It was. Okay. I completely missed it. It wasn't. It wasn't. it over right away. It was given over it. They handed over part of it, but then the full, then they're speaking exhibit numbers, I think, right? So like 11.06 or whatever was May 26. By the owner-operator of the videographer company, which is the, they're the people that
Starting point is 00:25:05 grabbed the footage, right? Afterwards, that grabbed all the cameras and everything. Yeah. Yeah, nothing to see there. And that's when Cole that came out and gave that work. It's a public-private investigation. That heartfelt statement that it's people are evil. People are evil. And then you don't give it to them for like eight months. This was another crazy part right here. So this is two parts of testimony.
Starting point is 00:25:31 I spliced together. Can I just say one more thing on the video? And so very unconspiratorial reading of the grabbing of that video the way it happened right after the shooting. that's incredibly valuable video. That is a, for the videographer company, that is a thing of value that has potentially millions of dollar price type. So,
Starting point is 00:25:55 so this, this is two clips put together here. The first tip is from Heather Mullins. So hat tip to Heather Mullins. And apparently on September 11th, the very next day he was murdered on September 10th, September 11th at 12th, 12.38 a.m. So in the very, very early morning, midnight, we call it night sometimes.
Starting point is 00:26:19 They saw Tyler Robinson's car at, you know, they caught it on someone's ring cam and they interviewed the people where the car was, was captured. Here's the testimony on that. And what if? Yes, it is sped up. I apologize for that. This is a very unfortunate. What about that video? Yeah, absolutely. And what about that video? Why was this particular video significant to you? Why do you think it was related to this case? We know from the UVU footage that the person we believe to be Mr. Robinson had an interaction with law enforcement and a short period after that the vehicle comes to that house and some additional evidence that was collected from cell phone data and things indicated that
Starting point is 00:27:01 Mr. Robinson was in the area and we were able to locate the footage of his vehicle on that ring doorbell camera. At least what you believe is his all right. Okay so you you have him saying you know and I know the the audio was kind of weak on there. You have him saying that they were able to catch capture the car at this person's house, cell phone data, put Robinson in the area. And then we get this part from the defense when they questioned him about this. Do you remember that looking at that interview? Does that refresh your recollection? I remember reading the report at some point, yes.
Starting point is 00:27:33 And do you remember that the nobles told you that the driver of the vehicle was bald? I do remember that being in the report, yes. And you didn't mention that today when you were talking about that ring camera. Did you? I did not. And did they also tell you there were three other people in the car? Yes, I believe they thought that was the case. Why you lie in Redcoat?
Starting point is 00:28:02 So, yeah, so you're putting it out there that this is his car in front of this person's house, putting him in the area at 12.38 a.m. And then you completely neglect to mention that the people you interviewed about, the car and whose footage, you know, documented the car said it was a bald guy driving with three other people in the car. Well, that's fascinating. I'm pretty sure Tyler Robinson has a full head of hair. Uh, and we don't know of any accomplices, not three for certain. So yeah, just a lot of a lot of reasonable doubt. Yeah, a lot of reasonable doubt. Yeah, a lot. Um, here's another interesting. Why didn't, uh, am I?
Starting point is 00:28:44 I six mention the other details. And I noticed too that he's saying the man we believe to be Tyler Robinson, right? Like if they were certain that it's him, they would say Tyler Robinson that he's yeah, he is very careful. And the same nuance, the same plausible deniability that you picked up on right there. Pay attention to that on this, this clip. And this is the one that Alpha had the most problem with off of the side of that building that had been secured by an officer and that building was the low sea building correct wasn't there also a bullet found on another building I believe an unfired bullet had been found on another building at some point during my time there on september 10th which building was that sir I'd never heard that record was that
Starting point is 00:29:33 was that considered a scene though it was worth preserving it was not my recollection is that that was accounted for as an ejected cartridge from an officer who had cycled his rifle. Okay, I thought you said it was an unfired bullet. Now you're saying it was a cartridge? When a weapon is cleared, an officer would make his rifle ready, which would chamber around. Oh, I got you. My understanding was that that's how that was accounted for. So an officer claimed that that bullet belonged to him or her? That's my recollection, is that that was how it was accounted for.
Starting point is 00:30:09 And when was that accounted for? I don't know specifically. Do you remember what type of bullet that was? I don't. Was it a 30-odd-6? Do you remember? I don't. Okay. So the lead investigator doesn't know, knows that another bullet was found, an unspent
Starting point is 00:30:28 cartridge, doesn't know what caliber it was, doesn't know what officer it came from, doesn't know what building it was found on. none of this now this is when defense got to redirect or got to yeah um isn't she the defense he's the defense this excuse me the prosecution got to got to redirect and uh this is what they asked in this situation which is called cruiser ready what does that mean it means we don't have around chambered um so if an officer deployed with his rifle he would chamber around uh once he had done whatever task it was that he was doing in
Starting point is 00:31:06 order to put that weapon back, he would eject the magazine and eject the round. Sometimes in doing so, rounds are dropped or not accounted for. So the excuse that they gave was that, you know, they keep their rifles cruiser ready, meaning condition four or or even condition three, magazine inserted no round in the chamber. Condition four would be no magazine inserted, no round in the chamber. So he's saying they keep it condition three or four, not condition one. Condition two only applies to 50 cows or or or belt fed open bolt systems anyways I feel like this is way more information than we need who which officer which officer accidentally ejected the cartridge that was then accounted for and dismissed away as don't worry about that we don't even need to secure this
Starting point is 00:31:55 scene like where where are those details so the the argument that he was making so there's one of two things that happened here. He either was clearing his weapon after the the scuffle, after everything was settled down, or he was going condition one because the shooting had just occurred and he was in the defensive, you know, posture, right? So if he's going defensive and he chambers it and ejects around, then that means the weapon was already conditioned one, meaning he already had a round chamber. And he just leaves it there, which, okay, sure. That's Alpha's argument is that, yeah, if you're in a if you're in a static or a kinetic environment and you condition you and you cycle your rifle you're just going to leave the round there and i'm like okay just leave an unspent round on a
Starting point is 00:32:40 school campus that's if you're if you're in a you know you're you're running yeah you're i don't know and i'm careful to say gunfight but like if you're in an emergent situation and you're a cop then yeah you might do that at any point do they match that bullet to a police No. Well, so was the police carrying a 30-0-6? Hold on. We'll get to that. Then the other part is if you're clearing it to go back to cruiser ready to put the weapon away. In that case, there's no excuse for not picking up the round, period. And the, end of conversation. I mean, we did it in war zones in Afghanistan. And when we get back to the fog, we clear our weapon. And we always pick up the round. In fact, we made a game of ejecting it and trying to grab it in mid-air as it pops out of the rifle. It was probably a 5-5-6. If I I had to bet it was probably a 5, five, six round, but they don't document any of this. Now, which is crazy because they, because they claim they didn't need to secure that part of the crime scene. Now the part that, that alpha, and alpha makes a valid point with this. The reason the defense knew about this is because it was in somebody's report.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Fair enough. Why doesn't the lead investigator know this? Yeah. So then the other, the other big thing, and we can move on from the bullet. don't think the bullets as big a deal as a lot of people are making of it, but I think it's something they definitely need to prod further. You know, and that's something that we should have, you know, not we, the people, but the defense should have, they should have been prepared to answer questions about that. Well, it was a five, five, six round found on this building and it was ejected from
Starting point is 00:34:19 officer so-and-so's rifle at this time after he was done with, you know, the situation. He cleared the building and he was going condition for to put his rifle back. That should have all been documented in the report period period so the next thing and i don't have a clip of this is the lead investigator who's in charge of that crime scene learned from the news that they were paving over the the scene where charlie kirk was shot yeah that wasn't that wasn't suspect at all he learned from the news nobody called him he didn't okay it he had no control of his crime scene again who made the decision that's a to pave over that's a great question was it the school was a turning point was it my six here's another this is the last clip so this is talking about the
Starting point is 00:35:15 dna now the dna yesterday that they had a dna expert up there that testified for a long time very very complicated very dry testimony uh talking about you know different peaks on the on the the on the DNA chart, whether they're actually looking at the material. And they did not, by the way, they did not look at the actual sequence of the DNA. They just looked at the length of the DNA. And that's how they were able to determine that it's most likely a match to not just Robinson, but also to Twigs. Now, this is the part here that I thought was very interesting. And again, I'm not going to say anything one way or the other about this. But just listen to what the expert testifies here when they're talking about the STR Mix report.
Starting point is 00:35:58 and how the results came back, not as what they hoped. Is this the likelihood ratio from your tweaks comparison? Yes, it is. Okay. Now, what was the likelihood ratio that you calculated based on this chart? The likelihood ratio was one. One? Yes. So that doesn't rise to the level of even limited inclusion, correct?
Starting point is 00:36:24 Correct. It would fall under an uninformative. And yet you concluded that despite this STR mixed reading with a like-ahead ratio of one, that Mr. Twiggs was a contributor to both item 7 and item 8, correct? I did. So actually, I didn't utilize this calculation to determine that Mr. Twiggs was a possible contributor or that I could use him as an assumed contributor. I visually looked at the DNA sample and the DNA, unlike that major contributor, he also had those peaks. So that was one proposition or one hypothesis that I determined that he was an assumed contributor. So this test...
Starting point is 00:37:08 You know what happens when you assume, Brian? This test comes back with uninformed, you know, inconclusive, uninformed, whatever the results, right? You can't include it. according to that specific test. And she comes back and says, well, we used my own expertise and my own hypothesis that, you know, whatever. I just, I listen to that. And again, maybe there's something to it.
Starting point is 00:37:34 But you have a scientific test that is telling you that these results are uninformative. They're not conclusive at all. And then you develop, you know, you move on to find the way that is going to confirm what your hypothesis is or what you believe to be true. And until you find it, you keep going. It was really weird to me. I'm not going to pretend that I know one way or the other what all of that means. But that was yesterday.
Starting point is 00:38:07 You know what you really want to hear your investigator say on the stand under oath? Well, I assumed it. Yeah. Hypothesis and assumption. And yeah. And we took the science and I said, no. put that aside. I'm an expert. My assumptions and hypothesis supersede scientific method. Let's go back to 2021 with that and COVID and the vaccines and everything else.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Okay. So we have a grainy, shadowy figure running across a roof from a very far away. Go back further. Go back further. We have a car that we may or may not have a license plate for. We saw the car after. We saw the grainy figure. So I was going in the order in which you showed it Oh, well, I'm going in the order of the timeline of events. But me and the audience don't have that, Brian, because you haven't given it to us. So, okay, so we have a great figure running across the roof. Impossible to make out who that is. No, there's no, anybody that's telling you, we definitely know that's Tyler Robinson on the roof running, running and crawling and whatnot.
Starting point is 00:39:11 They're lying. You cannot make that out. We have a car that is very similar to a car owned by Tyler Robinson that's in that. parking garage but nobody grabbed the plate and ran the plate of that car and we know of that we know of in this trial evidence that has been presented to up to this point correct in that circumstance they did run the plate much much later in the day in a completely different location are they sure it's the same car are they sure that right so so we have a car that matches a car owned by similar shape of a car owned by Tyler Robinson. We have a man with a hat and a maroon shirt and shorts and a certain type of shoes walking through a parking garage. We have a man with different clothes, but the same shoes walking with a different gate.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Right. His steps have changed and they claim that they he has a rifle in his pants, right? We have this second guy walking back into the parking garage looked like well hold on there's one key key point here no face shots though not only that but he switched his shirt he switched his pants he switched his hat he switched his backpack and maybe but he didn't switch his shoes allegedly so he thought of everything he thought of everything else except his shoes but also people have the same kinds of shoes it's like the same thing with the car Like there's you you have to you can't just say well he owns a car like that and that car was in the parking garage so he was definitely there. And I'm not saying it wasn't him everybody in the chat who's mad at me. I'm saying let's talk about the evidence that Brian has presented to the Badlands jury this morning.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Right. That's what we have so far. Right. And a bullet that doesn't mean anything because they decided it doesn't mean anything and didn't secure the crime scene or that part of the scene and just waved it away. And we have a foreigner narrating all of this and a very confused sounding woman who was also a witness. Oh, don't forget. We have the foreigner also documenting an interview with people that saw Tyler Robinson's car in front of their house. And then he neglects to mention that it was a bald guy and three other people driving the
Starting point is 00:41:41 car, not Tyler Robinson. Don't forget that part too. That's pretty important. We have Josh Reid in the chat. Josh Reid is in the chat. Josh Reid is coming to Colorado and we're going to have a bad lander meetup. So if you want to, you're in Colorado. I think Josh would probably be on my side more in the team.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Sounds like or team alpha. I don't know. I don't know. Josh, you on team Kankon or team Alpha? I don't think this rises to, I don't even think this rises to more likely than not. none definitely not beyond a reasonable doubt reasonable doubt is a standard in criminal matter certainly for murder um just let me finish my badlands media dot tv slash function it's more likely than not badlands media dot tv slash groups if you want to come in hang out with josh and i later this month okay um
Starting point is 00:42:33 and so again that was just day two today's starts at 3 p.m eastern 1 p.m. uh so it's a later start today the DNA woman is done so it should be a little more lively of a of a of a hearing today um i'll be i'll be live streaming on my channel at 3 p.m if you want to check it out i'm still waiting to hear about the autopsy i'm still waiting to hear about the forensics on the bullets the fragments forensics on the rifle i'm waiting to see all of that because i'm telling you it's not going to get better for the prosecution i don't think it's not going to get better They didn't recover a full bullet. They recovered fragments.
Starting point is 00:43:14 They didn't like, we don't know anything about the autopsy report. So we'll see. But that is, that is day two. So I just, it was a little long because we crammed two days of the trial into one. And so thank you for sticking around for that. Yeah. Let's, uh, let's pause a moment here. Where else will we go, Brian?
Starting point is 00:43:36 Well, you can't go anywhere. Our audience go wherever they want. They are a free. But they wouldn't because this. This is the news show. This is the morning news show. So they wouldn't, they wouldn't,
Starting point is 00:43:46 they wouldn't abandon it. It's, it's wild to see the responses from people. Now, you know, again, Alpha disagrees with me and that's fine. But like,
Starting point is 00:43:55 I'm being called like retard and like Candace Simp. And I'm like, do you know how many like minutes? I'd have to manage it in minutes. I've seen of Candice Owens talking about this, maybe 10, maybe 10. And that's goes in line with as much time
Starting point is 00:44:11 from the TPUSA crowd, not not saying the TPUSA is on one way, but like the Colvettes and the, and the, you know, the, the, the, the, the folks that are anti-Kandis, I don't even know who to, because it's like a huge, the Jack Posobiac groups, right? And the, you know, some of the other Jopis. Oh, yeah, he's full blown. Tyler Robinson. He, he would hang him right now if he could. He would hang him right now without due process if he could. Yeah, well, you know, if Jack Posobiac says it's true. Maybe Intel, he's got to be, he's got to be right there. So I am looking at this objectively. I do have my preconceived opinions about this case. They did briefly mention, Ash, my point that I've been making the whole time, that Tyler went from prone to up and running in like less than
Starting point is 00:44:58 three seconds. And where's the gun? What's that? And in that moment, where's the gun? Because didn't he did, didn't he allegedly break down the gun? That's what they say. But then they're like, oh, he jumped down with it. But they almost got to that point, you know, where, but they're like how he was in the prone for 15 to 30 seconds before he took the shot. And then they, they didn't prod further after that. So that kind of sucked. But it's going to be fun.
Starting point is 00:45:23 I'm going to look at it objectively. So rumble.com slash cancon if you want to check it out, 3 p.m. Eastern starting today, we'll be day three and half day. So it'll be fun. And we'll have a good time. And let's go ahead and hit our next sponsor. if we could get that pulled up there. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. There we go. We got it. We got it. And then I screwed up and I misclicked on my computer. All right, guys, we know the 4th of July is coming gone. We're on the right side of 250, though. But here's something worth thinking about.
Starting point is 00:46:02 The fireworks are over. The cookouts are finished and the flags will slowly come down. But America's story is still worth teaching.

Starting point is 00:47:14 still being written make sure the next generation knows it the voice of freedom uh why can i ever think of that song and it's um but the frame the flame of revolution the old world hear us war i would also just like to say celebration's not over this is and also it's america's we're into america's 250 first year which means we're charting the next 250 years of america which means we are the co-founders of america's second 250 years so uh keep the flame of revolution blazing hot amen i wish i wish i wish i wish i was on stream yard so i could poll the audience whether they think he's guiltier or not i don't i don't think it i don't think they've gotten there yet We can ask and just kind of eyeball it. So one, guilty, two, not guilty. Remember, reasonable doubt is the standard.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Reasonable, beyond reasonable doubt. You have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. So do you have enough evidence to say definitively that it was that guy and that the story as the state alleges played out is, there is no doubt in it? There is no reasonable doubt in the story that MI6 is put forward on the stand about Tyler Robinson, the grainy photo. Everybody says too, Brian. Nobody, nobody, nobody says one one person, Deerum said one and 2020 maga says three, both sides is a siop. I'm totally down with that answer. I can get behind that. The crazy, KF says team alpha here, but love you guys. The crazy thing about this is that like somehow, if you think that that Tyler
Starting point is 00:48:59 Robinson is innocent like somehow that's anti Charlie Kirk yeah like that's the thing like people are so emotionally attached to Charlie Kirk and they're like if you don't think it was if you don't think Robinson was the killer then you're you're doing a disservice to Charlie Kirk no you're doing a disservice by convicting the person that didn't yeah not have killed them yeah if it wasn't him and and all of the institutions very rapidly rallying around a story that puts you know the neurodivergent trans flirty kid in the the bad guy seat lone shooter we love a lone shooter story don't we intelligence community we love a lone shooter story so if that's not true
Starting point is 00:49:52 then it's not justice for charlie to convict the kid it's actually helping the intelligence community get away with murdering Charlie Kirk and I'm not going to be on that side of it. Have you seen the picture? So this is the picture now, allegedly, of Lance Twigs, the boyfriend, furry, whatever. Wait, I got to make this bigger right now. Hold on. I'm trying to make it bigger too. That is what she said. That's, so that's allegedly them now. now i'm not saying that you're using they've been pronouns look at you you progressive champion well i don't know what to call them but like i i mean i don't like where was the where's that footage that where's this picture from hold on where is it where's this picture from because that looks like
Starting point is 00:50:48 it was probably taken about 10 years ago compared to this one and so did we get kind of hoodwinked on the whole lance twig the character playing lance twig yes exactly like you like when when you when you you have like and this happens with with with the black man the black shooting right all the time like the the thug that beat up the cop and got shot and then they show him like in like 10th grade when he was in the band and he's sitting there with this clarinet like and then you go fast forward and he's wearing like you know like a blue bandana and he's like throwing up crypt gangs i'm not saying that that's the case but like did we get do we get kind of hoodwinked on the on the furry thing was that like a christmas or a Halloween cost i don't know i don't know meant to generate
Starting point is 00:51:29 support for punishing this kid and propping up this story because the furry detail helps in that right oh of course it was a trans shooter again and Tyler Robinson's not a trans kid but he's like I said trans flirty before and that's what I mean is like he's in that community yeah he's yeah he's he's an ally right he's a strong ally and his um they them friend is uh in you know in it and he and he's the ally that data point does create for low information people right headline gobbling people that information does make them more inclined to believe this story particularly because wasn't he talking wasn't at the moment charlie was shot wasn't he talking about trans i'm no you're talking about school guns and schools i think but it might
Starting point is 00:52:25 gang violence maybe i don't i don't remember is something about shooting zh zoh and guns um also we we have his confession ash remember the confession my dearest lance oh right right right dreadably write you to inform you that i have taken the dramatic high road and off the the most absurd and by the way they don't have the physical letter just a picture of it Nice. Nice. I think that it's quite possible that the person that actually wrote that letter is the same person that wrote Donald Trump's birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein. A birthday card. Yeah. That's a good one. That's a good one. They were both as realistic. All right. Let's ask you a little bit. Ash and I had to cancel why we vote last night. And we'll do a little bit now. So from Red State, dueling decisions. Department of Homeland Security. stuck between opposing district court orders i have to see it dc district judge sparkle suknanon oh it's totally totally real it's a totally real invalid name sparkle don't let him get you down
Starting point is 00:53:43 sparkle sukmanon i mean what kind of nicknames could we come up with her for her in high school middle school middle school kids are much ruff rougher than high school like like if she was my friend we'd call her sukey suki sooky sparkly sook sparkly sook suck suck suck sparkle no no no no no no no no i don't know uh on june 22nd suk suk nunan dismantled the administration's in judge sparkle is what we should call her brian judge sparkle is how we we should refer to her on this show judge sparkly suck suk um dismantled the administration's implementation of the expanded systematic alien verification for entitlement system save it violates the privacy act social security act and the administrative
Starting point is 00:54:31 procedures act now a different judge by the way that's been appealed to the dc circuit which has been favorable to trunk a little or not a different district court judge t kent weatherall the second totally not sparkle suk an um of the northern district of the northern district of florida ordered dhs to restore the safe systems social security uh uh number search and bulk upload features which disabled, which it disabled pursuant to Sukkonan's order. Now, I want to jump over here to the order itself real quick. And let's read this. It's about two paragraphs. You want to read it, Ash? Sure. My voice is like almost shot. The just, I was, I was about to respond to the T.O.B.1A.5 who said, never have I met or have
Starting point is 00:55:22 I come across a female judge that was capable of doing the job. I was going to run. Judge Judy, are you kidding me? Because Judy can definitely do the job. Okay. This court is not bound by Judge Sparkle's order. With all due respect, the court disagrees with the conclusions in that sparkly order. For example, with respect to the Social Security Act, even though 42 U.S.C.
Starting point is 00:55:45 405 subc, sub two subc C. Okay, you don't have to read all the sub. I seemingly. Don't tell me how to do my job. Brian seemingly precludes the social security administration from disclosing social security numbers to anyone that statute does not preclude ss from doing so in the immigration context because ss can provide information about citizenship citizenship and eight u s c 1373 sub a expressly provides that notwithstanding any other provision of federal law is the footnote important
Starting point is 00:56:16 no okay uh a federal entity entity a federal entity or official may not in any way restrict any any government entity or official from sending defendants information regarding the citizenship or immigration status lawful or unlawful of any individual. Moreover, with respect to the Privacy Act, the modifications to the save system plainly fall within the Act's routine use exception in 5 U.S.C. 552A, sub a bunch of stuff that Brian's getting out let me if I read, because using SSNs to verify the identity of potential non-citizens is not incompatible with the purposes of the Social Security number to establish the age, citizenship, or alien status and true identity of individuals citing 42 U.S.C. 405.
Starting point is 00:57:01 And it is undisputed that defendants published notice of the use of social security numbers as part of the modified safe system in advance of the order approving the settlement agreement, requiring integration of the Social Security number search feature. So in other words, in other words, it is literally designed. There was carve outs in the law to allow the Department of Homeland Security to utilize this search in order to verify citizenship. And Sukkon, Sparkle, was like, no, you can't do that. Yeah, you know what this is like? This is a bit of a side quest.
Starting point is 00:57:36 But this is similar to, we're going to give you guys signature verification so that we can validate that these votes are actually coming from real voters. And then, you know, 10 years later, signature verification is an unnecessary poll tax. We can't have signature verification. We're going to give you social security numbers so that you can verify citizenship. And we can make sure that you're a citizen if you're getting benefits or if you're doing pretty much anything. Because we have to put in our social security number. I had to put in my son's social security number to sign them up for a Trump account. Right.
Starting point is 00:58:12 So you have to use that. You can't actually use social security numbers to validate citizenship. What are we even doing, Sparkle? Sparkles? Take it back. Bad decision. We're going to start to think that you're not a real judge. Well, maybe it's worth it to read the footnote because it takes shots at Sparkle.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Some of the, yeah, the footnotes often have, let's definitely do that. The footnotes often have a lot of great information in them. The court does not fault Judge Sparkle for not deferring to this court's employees. determination that the modified safe system was lawful because she is no more bound by this court's rulings than this court is bound by hers. Indeed, the court has similarly rejected an agency's reliance on another court's consent judgment as an excuse for not complying with the law as this court interpreted it. That said, it is unfortunate that the parties to this case did not bring Judge Sparkle's case to this court's attention before it approved the settlement agreement
Starting point is 00:59:09 and or the parties to judge Sparkle's case did not bring this court's order approving the settle agreement to her attention sooner than they did so that the conundrum that now exists might have been avoided through principles of comedy all right let's move on we got some more election stories here from the detroit news do j says it will send election monitors to three michigan cities Trump's DOG, DOJ, DOJ, DOG, DOG, D O'DOG, has informed Michigan officials and intends to send election monitors to three cities in the battleground state for the August 4th primary. The plans mentioned Detroit, Lansing, and East Lansing, according to two sources, granted condition of anonymity. And this, yeah, I can say that. We've already established that.
Starting point is 01:00:00 I know, but sometimes, you know, like, you get good at something and then you don't use it for a while, so you lose the skill. you're keeping your skill there. I'm proud of you. I develop it. I wake up every morning and say anonymity, anonymity, anonymity. Timothy, anonymity. Timothy Mellet apparently is the one that authored this, this memo or whatever. He's the deputy chief of the DOJ's voting section. And that's all I got on that. Dana Nessel says, oh, that's fine. You can come down here. Just don't, don't break stuff. She says, we encourage everyone to participate and see for themselves, how secure and fair are our elections are, but my office stands ready to hold accountable those who attempt to unlawfully interfere with or intimidate Michigan election workers. I hope people don't get excited about
Starting point is 01:00:48 election monitors going down there. That's like, that's like somebody robbed a bank. That would, I'm trying to think of how this, that would be like somebody's robbing a bank and you're just watching to make sure that the person behind the counter doesn't like take the money and put it in their own pocket. Right. You can't see what's on the other side of the glass. You just see the teller taking the money out, counting it, and then making sure that they're not stuffing in their own pocket. The election fraud that we're dealing with either A happens in a black box or B happens way outside of the count. Okay. It's not election officials. Now it does happen, I'm sure, but it's not broadly. The accusations I think that me and Ash mostly make are not that election workers are like, nobody's looking. Okay. I didn't. Nobody's looking. Yeah. Could happen.
Starting point is 01:01:40 But that's not the big thing that I think we're talking about. Well, and so it has been proven to have happened, right? Out here in Mesa County, we had some workers that were engaged in a postal service scheme that involved election worker inside the office and somebody that worked for the post office and they were engaged in a fraudulent ballot scheme. That's voter fraud. It's not systemic election fraud, but it does happen. But I'm with you. I generally don't assume that election workers are engaging in fraud. I think that the system is designed to defraud.
Starting point is 01:02:16 I think that the plausible deniability is built into the system. And whenever you are faced with a question of an outcome or a question of something that happened, there are a thousand different ways that they can dismiss it and just be like, oh, no, that was just human error or erroneous code or a software. or a data coding mismatch or you're just not an elections expert so you don't understand. But to your point, Brian, the way that that surveillance is working, the way that that is looking for credit card fraud by staring at your credit card. That's essentially what is.
Starting point is 01:02:49 And that's that's Sean Smith's old adage. Yeah, that's a good analogy right there. I have used the conversation. I don't remember who it was with, but you were having it with somebody where, you know, they were saying, oh, you can't, you can't, you can't, election fraud at every single election without. Oh, yeah, that's Valdemar, Archiletta. He is the chairman of the log cabin Republican.
Starting point is 01:03:12 You're a cool guy. I call him the king of the gays. I went out and picked. Well, the point that the point that we were making, I think both Ash and I were making the point is that the system itself is fundamentally flawed and not transparent. And there's no, there's no way that you can prove that the elections are legitimate. And we don't have to go through every single election and disprove its legitimacy, just by doing it when the legitimacy itself cannot be proven.
Starting point is 01:03:37 And so, you know, sure, every election, we're not going to find, you know, fraud. First and foremost, they'd be terrible fraudsters if they just made it so that anybody could find it in the 3,000 elections that are taking place across the entire country. Also, we don't have the resources to be able to investigate every single election. So once we have enough of a sample to go off of, the elections are illegitimate. Once you disprove, you know, a couple of them. you know Fulton County Wayne County Maricopa County DeCab County once you once you disprove those and prove the fraud in those and you prove that they're illegitimate whether or not a court
Starting point is 01:04:14 wants to hear it because they're incredibly difficult to get it into um yeah you don't you don't have to investigate every single election it's absurd to think that yeah and we do the the larger ones one thing um gator bay says i just checked with our chief council in the Republican Party and he submitted three members to the NCSBE to inspect the source code in the ESNS machines. Let's see if they allow it to happen. We are allowed to inspect it in North Carolina. That's really interesting because even the experts at the voting system testing labs aren't allowed to inspect certain aspects of the source code. So it'll be interesting to see if you guys are.
Starting point is 01:04:58 And also, who are your experts to be able to examine the source code and understand? understand whether or not there is something erroneous or, you know, malfeasance and embedded in that source code. You know, submitting three members of the Republican Party to look at code if they don't have that skill set, does not sound like a controller check on anything. That's the key. So North Carolina has a law where the secretary of state has to keep the source code in escrow.
Starting point is 01:05:24 And you, you are able to examine that. The Libertarian Party, I think in 2020 following 2020, the libertarian sued to examine the source code and they ran out of money. They won and then they ran out of money to keep the case going. So that was a story that kind of went under the radar. The question is who's going to be looking at it? That's the, that's the key.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Clay should absolutely be one of them. Yeah, he said that he submitted Clay to be one of them. And that's the thing is if Clay was the one that was, because Clay has the record on this, right? He has been testing the voting systems. He's done that for the VSTLs. He understands where the testers are gate kept, and he has the technical skills to be able to understand if the code is legit or not. Spot on.
Starting point is 01:06:11 Also, our elections should never be dependent upon experts validating code bases. Especially when it's a system that's only supposed to increment by one for every positive. Counting. Counting dots on paper. All right. Associated Press. Judge rejects Justice Department attempt to get names of 2020. election workers in Fulton County. This is actually kind of shocking to me, even though all this
Starting point is 01:06:34 information is publicly available already. Like I have, I can get all this information. Like, maybe not now, but there's people that already have it because it's public record. The USDAJ cannot have the names and personal contact info of every person who worked at 2020 election in Georgia's Fulton County, a federal judge ruled. This was a grand jury subpoena. So you have now had a federal. judge smack down a grand jury subpoena. That is supposed to be an incredibly difficult and burdensome thing for a federal judge to do because a grand jury subpoena is supposed to basically be above the judge himself and the Department of Justice. This is supposed to be the most unbiased
Starting point is 01:07:24 form of a subpoena that you can get because it's peers that all got together and said, yes, we need, we need this. We need to see this. Yeah, because they also, like the grand jury is a unique entity in our system because it has both investigatory powers and sort of the, you know, ability to issue indictments and the prosecutorial powers. So the judge writes, quote, given the low need for the subpoenaed information, the low need for the subpoenaed information, and the highly burdensome nature of the disclosure of the same, the subpoena is unreasonable and must be quashed. So the grand jury looked at it and said, this is reasonable.
Starting point is 01:08:05 Who is this William Ray? What do we know about him? I don't know. Nothing yet. But he looked at it. The grand jury looked at it and said, yes, this is a reasonable subpoena. We need the subpoenaed information.
Starting point is 01:08:17 And the judge says it's unreasonable and you don't need it. Now, it goes on to say, even if the records sought by the Justice Department could help find the people who worked for the county during the 2020 election who support the theory that the election was unfair, the information could not be used to charge anyone because the statute of limitations has passed, Ray wrote. The Justice Department argued the subpoena was the quote unquote next step in the normal investigative process, end quote, and that it seeks, quote, records identifying persons with relevant knowledge. The judge writes, quote,
Starting point is 01:08:50 in these hyper-political times in which we currently live, there are sure to be some who disagree with this decision because they believe the allegations of fraud in the 2020 election and believe that, quote, unquote, light should be brought to those claims. Ray added that nothing prevents continued investigations into those allegations by the people who believe those claims, such as Congress or even the Justice Department. But the power of the grand jury, quote,
Starting point is 01:09:16 which exists to investigate potential crimes and to bring viable indictments, end quote, cannot be used for that purpose. Otherwise, anyone in power could use the grand jury process to subpoena personal information of citizens, quote, with no legitimate law enforcement purpose, end quote. Way outside the lines, I would say, but I have to just tell you, this judge was nominated by President Trump, confirmed 5441. Here's the best part, Brian. He goes by Billy Ray.
Starting point is 01:09:48 This is Judge. Billy Ray. Don't tell my heart. He's got a barbecue stain on his white t-shirt. No, that's Tim McGraw. Oh, is it? Yeah. Akey, breaky heart is Billy Ray Cyrus.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Just don't think you'll understand. Got a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt. She was, okay, quote, thus everyone, whether you support the president or not or do not, or whether you believe the 2020 election was fair or believe that it was not, should be concerned about the DOJ's ability to utilize the power of the grand jury to appropriate your private information. information without a legitimate purpose.
Starting point is 01:10:21 There's no such thing as private information, guys. Just FYI. It's not a thing in the digital age. Your entire life is on. That's the interesting thing is. And this is the case that has been made. So when this subpoena first dropped, I was like, oh, this is really cool.
Starting point is 01:10:39 This is a big step. And then everybody I know that's involved in this is like, this is like we have all this stuff. We have, there's stuff beyond their, they're, their contact information that's already been investigated in some of these people. And so again, Judge Ray has served in all three branches of state government before joining the federal bench. He was a Georgia state senator. He was a judicial circuit superior court judge in Georgia. Was he appointed by Brian Kemp?
Starting point is 01:11:15 Well, how is he's, if he wasn't. in the executive branch how did he serve in all three secretary of state maybe no judge georgia court of appeals u.s district judge for the northern yeah no he hasn't i don't i don't see that he's served in the executive branch he did practice law though before joining the bunch in guinette county well that does it for also of and awe for all shows are why we vote and uh let's go head and hit another sponsor here and we will get that pulled up here and there we go guys we hear a lot about crypto but here's the part that most people miss crypto is created so you could actually own and control your money after the 2008 financial crisis bitcoin was designed as an alternative

Love it. In our headlines today, we have breaking news out of Baldwin County.
Starting point is 01:17:08 Former Florida gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum was arrested in Daphne last week. Daphne police say they pulled the car. He was driving over for erratic driving near North Main Street on July 2nd, around 1045 p.m. Police say while searching his car, they found a glass pipe on the center console, several rolled marijuana cigarettes and three packages of substance that tested positive for meth. Gillum is charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance. Second degree possession of marijuana. We will keep us dated on this story.
Starting point is 01:17:44 He was living in a single room with three other individuals. One of them was male and the other two. The other two were female. God only knows what they were up to in there. And furthermore, I heard that they were smoking marijuana cigarettes. Reference. It's madness. It's madness.
Starting point is 01:18:02 I don't know why they had to charge him with second degree possession of marijuana, though. It seems like a really unimportant detail that sets Florida back. Oh, Alabama. That's why because it's Alabama. Georgia. Are you sure? Yeah, wasn't it Georgia? I thought it was Alabama.
Starting point is 01:18:18 Double check. Back check me. In Alabama, you're correct. Yeah. So that's why, because they have archaic laws about plants in the state of Alabama. of Alabama. However, he's still on the meth. And you guys dodged a bullet because that was a close race. It was a very close race. Elections are totally real though. DeSamps versus junkies. Florida is looking good. And then like and then like a month after DeSantis won, Gillum was found in a hotel in South
Starting point is 01:18:50 Beach like passed out in his own vomit with like a gay lover in the room and he's married with kids. and like allegedly they thought he overdosed and like yeah that was just he's half naked just no fully naked fully naked i should say when did that happen in relation to the election i think it was like a couple months after and you know you got to wonder like when you look at the pattern of all of these degenerates right we're watching the grand platinum thing play out right now and whether or not grand platinum i don't i don't know enough about that to say one way or the other But you look at these degenerates and how it always, and it plays out on both sides. It's not just Republicans.
Starting point is 01:19:30 It's like you have to have those skeletons in your closet in order to make it in politics so that they have that. So they can blackmail you. Right. So they have that carrot to dangle in front of you or the shotgun is, you know, kindly jabbing your back every time you do the wrong thing. And you got to wonder how many of these other guys have these skeletons that just have not yet gotten out. Probably all of them, Brian. On the Platner thing, do you have a story on that today? Because I'll just give my opinion them real quick if you don't.
Starting point is 01:20:01 So I wrote about this in the Badlands News Brief this morning, badlands.substack.com. I am stuck. I find this Graham Platner story very confusing because we're talking about the party, this party they are clutching their pearls about this guy. This is the party that lets violent sex offenders out on the street as part of criminal justice reform. So why is a violent sex offender allegedly alleged violent sex offender because I don't think that we have definitive with with less proof on this guy than we have on Tyler Robinson, right?
Starting point is 01:20:34 Why is that a problem? And then it's like, well, he's a Nazi tattoo. It must be the Nazi. Hang on a second. That's freedom of expression. Most of you guys support Ukraine, which is full of Nazis. And also, isn't freedom of expression kind of a line you won't cross considering that you want to show your genitals to children on Main Street in June? So I don't understand why they're upset about Graham Platner. Certainly, it's not like a me too thing because they abandoned me too real quick. I wonder if he is maybe not as controlled as, say, a Gillum. And that's why they're going so hard at him because it's not a consistent principle for Democrats to be upset about a Nazi violent sex offender, again, allegedly. Yeah, that was me and ghost. That's what I was telling ghosts last yesterday on Daily is that, you know, I don't know enough about this guy one way or the other. But when when the audience behind him at his rallies is holding up signs that says the best senator money can't buy. So like maybe maybe that's why because he doesn't get in line with the system. And so you have these things that come out. The Nazi tattoo, I'll tell you right now as a Marine. All of our scout snipers have the Nazi SS tattoo. And it doesn't mean that. Right. It means scout sniper. And these guys don't know. And I'm not saying all of them have it, but a lot of them have it.
Starting point is 01:21:57 And that's just like something they've adopted as scout snipers, as their way of identifying each other. The tattoo that that Platner had was like a skull. And I look at that and I'm like, I probably have seen that tattoo in the Marine Corps many, many times. And he covered it up and expressed regret for it, which is way more than he ever should have done when dealing with unprincipled leftists, never, ever give them any. thing, never negotiate, never apologize because they're not acting in good faith.
Starting point is 01:22:26 And you have to realize that if the people that you're dealing with are not acting in good faith, then your good faith is going to be weaponized against you. Yeah. Ask me how I know. And so I look at all these things and I just wonder, was Platner, you know, I, and again, I don't agree with his policy, but was he a threat to the system there and now they're trying to replace him as quickly as possible. All right.
Starting point is 01:22:51 Let's jump into this story. Ash's new favorite congressman, Tim Burchett, today is sent a letter to FBI to Cash Patel asking for the release of all the records related to the death of Seth Rich. The American people deserve answers. Strongly worded letter. This is following Ty Clevenger. We talked about this the other day. You know, they discovered all these new documents and Clevenger's like, we're going to get this. And so hopefully we do. Hopefully we do. That was really fascinating that, you know, I put the picture up on July 4th of. me and the doing the Seth Rich pose and saying in memory of never let this die and then like literally the very next day all this shit comes out on Seth Rich like nobody's been talking about Seth
Starting point is 01:23:33 Rich I post one picture and all this comes out I'm not saying I did this but no I'm telling you we Badlands is John Candy in delirious we've got the magic typewriter guys do be very careful and don't piss us off you do it was a it was a good photo too um Was it good photo. I saw it. Jackie, Jackie was. You got a lot of mileage out of that American flag suit. I did. I did. Jackie was the one responsible for the pose and the photo.
Starting point is 01:24:01 And I kind of, I should have told her the pose needed to be more like this, but whatever. CNBC, Toyota to invest $3.6 billion to move Tacoma pickup truck production from Mexico to Texas. The move will lead to 2,000 U.S. jobs. It will add a second vehicle assembly line at the 2.7 million square foot plant by 2030 and we'll double that 2.7 million size. So 5.4 million. It'll expand the annual capacity from 200,000 vehicles to 350,000 units. It's part of Toyota's stated plans to invest up to $10 billion more than previously expected domestically in the U.S. through 2030. And it comes a week, less than a week after Trump's administration confirmed it would not. extend the trilateral trade pack with Canada and Mexico instead of opting to conduct instead opting to conduct annual reviews that was kind of a little devo hat tip I think he gave that from the oval office he's like I like this one who knew I was going to be here to be the one to do the annual reviews he's like I made that plan in my first term who knew that it was going to be me though
Starting point is 01:25:13 doing the reviews yeah I wonder how that decision impact what's going on with the UAW and the unfortunate situation with striking workers in Detroit. I don't know. More AI to plants. Well, that's the thing is that they remember the summer of strikes back in 2023. We had labor strikes across different domains. Hollywood was striking. Auto workers were striking. Freaking Starbucks workers were striking as if, you know,
Starting point is 01:25:43 the meat cutters here. My husband was in the meat cutters union for a time. and they were striking because they wanted retirement and all sorts of benefits as prior to their strike. This is my issue with labor unions. Prior to the strike, at the time the union should have been active in fighting against the impacts of this, in this case it was a merger. The jobs were being automated away. For the due diligence for the merger, they were streamlining a lot of the meat cutting work and moving a lot of stuff to centralized plants and using AI. robotics you know machine learning to do a lot of the work that people previously did union
Starting point is 01:26:22 wasn't involved in any of that they kept giving pamphlets to the workers oh here's what you should know about the merger no organization no strikes no anything after all that was done and those processes had been streamlined and the new kind of talent landscape of how many people that they were going to need in in the safe ways at the time after that was done then the the unions organize their workers to strike for retirement benefits. And I was watching this and going, you guys are retarded. Like, why are you paying dues? Why are you paying dues to a leftist machine that exists for political purposes
Starting point is 01:27:03 and pretends and has convinced you that they're looking out for your interest? Because I can point right here, they were not looking out for your interest. They patted you on the head and kept you quiet when there was actually time to do something. And then when there was over and there was no time to do something, then they sent you out there and told you to strike over retirement benefits for grocery store workers, which probably put you at the top of the list to get fired first. All right. Ash is, we're going to get, well, never mind. That's tomorrow. The angry hour is tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:27:36 But we got, we got Ash fired up already. Let's jump into this post here. Laura Lumer, our favorite Mossad adjacent individual on X, Mossad adjacent. high level sources to the White House tell me Mitch McConnell is officially brain dead. He's not coming back. McConnell is being kept quote unquote alive by life support machines. But my White House source told me McConnell is an organ failure. And as I reported, the source told me he has allegedly been declared a vegetable by doctors.
Starting point is 01:28:03 And the White House has been told McConnell ain't ever coming back. Officially brain dead. Oregon failure is accelerating. Life support machine is keeping him alive. But his brain is officially dead. and his wife, Elaine Chow, has fled to the country of China. And his daughter deleted her social media. I wonder if she brought any of his documents or briefings with her to China.
Starting point is 01:28:26 Now, Scott Jennings, our favorite CNN. I love this. Says, I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior senator from Kentucky. He's still recovering in the hospital. We talked for just shy of 20 minutes about Iran, Ukraine, the unfolding situation in Maine it's funny that he's capitalizing all of these that's very interesting i ran ukraine main my visit to the t r presidential library and a little even a little bit of
Starting point is 01:28:54 senate history throw that in there just for nostalgia i told him we want to see him back to work as soon as possible uh laura weiss gop leaders are saying they spoke with mitch mccan on the phone thune says that he spoke with him yesterday they had a lengthy and substantive conversation that covered a variety of topics, including national security. Barrasso spokesperson, Katie Noyes, said that they spoke as well. I don't care about that long statement. Let's get into this clip from CNN. Do you think he'd be willing to call into the show?
Starting point is 01:29:24 Could we get him on the phone now? You know, I wasn't really expecting him to call this morning, to be honest. So when the phone rang and I was able to talk to him, I was, I was frankly pretty grateful. I mean, as I said, I've known him since I was a teenager. If it hadn't been for Mitch McConnell in the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville, you know, I would never have been able to go to college. He's been my mentor and he changed a trajectory in my life. So, you know, when things happen to him and happened to people in your life that you really care about,
Starting point is 01:29:50 you know, you just sort of naturally feel extremely worried. So when I heard his voice today and he was clearly keeping up with stuff that made me happy to hear from him. Because like everybody else, I've been, you know, somewhat in the dark about it. But to hear him talking and know that he's also talking to the Senate leadership, it made me pretty happy. Don't believe you. Post here, shall we say, has been driving a lot of the questions about where Mitch McConnell has been and what has happened to him. You, of course, are in tune with that in the role you have on your radio show. Do you think they should put out a picture of Mitch McConnell that he should release more to the public to quiet this noise?
Starting point is 01:30:31 Yeah, I think I think Al had a good point about McConnell's general disposition towards privacy. I sometimes he's a senator an age oh no your old senator who's frozen twice on us fallen once
Starting point is 01:30:48 and now fallen again we have no proof of life no nothing and and I mean this is like Feinstein all over right she comes back how have the last three months been
Starting point is 01:30:59 how you know how's it been in your time away what are you talking about I've been here the whole time no you haven't Diane you haven't it's going to be the Look, Laura Lumer is either going to look even more retarded than every other take she's ever had like this where she's wrong on.
Starting point is 01:31:15 It gets them right sometimes. What is her take? I forgot it already. He's brain dead on life support and he's, he's, his days are numbered. Wait a minute. Wait, hold, hold the phone, Brian. Are you suggesting that you think that Scott Jennings might be telling the truth? No, I'm suggesting we don't know who's telling the truth.
Starting point is 01:31:36 we have our own assumptions and everything else. I tend to think that, look, once you fall, when you get to a certain age, once you fall, I mean, my stepdad, right? My stepdad just passed away last month. He fell. And within three weeks, he was gone. It's just like when you get to that age, man, like you just, a fall is like the worst thing you can ever hear. You're like, oh, they just fell.
Starting point is 01:32:01 No, they, something either happens when you fall or whatever the case might be. I tend to actually agree with with Laura Lumer on this one. I don't think he's coming back. I think that they're lying. Yeah, I think that lying and probably trying to drag it out long enough to not have to do a special election for the seat. I think that the circumstances of his wife fleeing the country back to China when she has been the subject of espionage allegations for years for as long as I'm known that Mitch McConnell, had a Chinese wife. It has been a co-indicated point.
Starting point is 01:32:41 Truth or falsity of it, I don't know. But that she is a Chinese spy. That's been, and then, you know, shipping magnet and they're using, you know, their businesses for all manner of things. Also, the daughter deleted all of her social media. It seems like a bunch of, yes, it's circumstantial. Yes, it's circumstantial, but it seems like in the McConnell, family there is a cause for panic in no universe do i think scott jennings is telling the truth about this and i
Starting point is 01:33:14 think that i i like i like scott jennings he's you know the based maga guy that argues with the retarded leftists on cnn also he works for cnn so let's not get confused and get so attached to tv characters that we think are secret white hats that we're willing to gobble down their bullshit when they're feeding it to us. I'm with you. I'm just saying definitively, we don't know one way or the other. I agree with you 100% on I don't, like I'm with you that I don't think he's telling the truth there.
Starting point is 01:33:46 There's no question. I don't think any of them are telling the truth right there. And shame on Scott Jennings for putting me and others in the chat on the same side as the retarded leftist on CNN. Yeah. Now I see you and another CNN employee. Congratulations. Okay, let's breeze through these stories real quick.
Starting point is 01:34:06 because I don't think they're actually like this is a total this is a total it's meant to I don't know drum up the propaganda here China tests long range ballistic missile in the Pacific angry neighbors from the New York Times calling on a defense buildup this is now leading to calls for a defense buildup because China told everybody hey we're testing this missile don't be alarmed it's got a dummy warhead on it they tested it it landed exactly where we were supposed to land everything's good Now all of a sudden the warmongers are like, hey, time to build up defenses in the in the Pacific region. Oh, and by the way, the United States routinely carries out tests launches of ballistic missiles from lander sea, including one fire from California just last March. Like, okay, so we're going to make a big deal out of California doing it, but we're doing it like frequently. Like, do you know how superpowers work? Like, they're a superpower. We have to respect that. And that means they're going to test these missiles from time to time.
Starting point is 01:35:02 So, yeah, you don't want to go, you don't want to go poking that bear. AI powered nuclear threat on the horizon. It's fear porn. Fear us. We have the power to destroy you, comply and give us all of your rights. Otherwise, you might die from a nuke and it'll probably be Iranian or Russian or Chinese because Mitch McConnell's wife is there now. Absolutely. Cuba, third major blackout this year.
Starting point is 01:35:29 Interesting here that they say they don't know the cause of it. It says a total disconnection of the national electric. power system is occurring according to Cuba's state run electric union. The causes are being investigated. Of course, they have chronic fuel shortages, among other things. And it's almost like it's time for Cuba to come home. Come home. You're going to be our greatest ally, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran. They're going to be our greatest allies.
Starting point is 01:35:58 But then again, over in Iran, everything's getting froggy again over there. U.S. Sent com. I feel like Colonel Towner would rebuke you on that point, but maybe I'm wrong. Oh, no, no, no. Cuba is going to be an ally here. Cuba is going to be an ally. For how long, Brian? That's a good question.
Starting point is 01:36:18 That's a good question. Just like Venezuela is our greatest ally now in the region. Yeah, doing that stolen elections book with Colonel Towner on Cuba, like realizing how strategically important Cuba has been for, you know, the past 80 to 100 years. years is kind of a, it was kind of a black pill, to be honest. Maybe, you know, we, we need people that follow. I mean, Trump is dismantling the deep state. He is cutting the funding globally.
Starting point is 01:36:48 He is, there are a ton of things he's doing, uh, to cut this funding. And then throwing it back in their faces with, uh, you're going to see Columbia with, with, with, uh, Petro and, and, uh, the, have you seen Petro's election stuff lately? Yeah, he seems pretty based. I wrote about it when the election first happened and I translated one of the videos he put out there. And it looked, it was like the same video at Mark Cook was putting out like going through the system and being like this, this and this. He put the same one out in Spanish. And I translated it.
Starting point is 01:37:21 We'll cover it on why we vote one of these days. But and now he's he's doubling down on this. So, yeah, I mean, Trump is is definitely turning things around on a geopolitical. scale. The question is, what are they going to do once he moves on to try and take that power back? You know, who's going to stand in that gap when, when President Trump's not there anymore? So, um, us. Yeah. The plan has always been us. And that's why wake up like is the is the mantra because we're running out of time for people to realize who the real enemy is. The chat is still talking about Mitch McConnell's handler wife.
Starting point is 01:38:04 and I wonder Brian if we should should we pull or maybe even do a bet about whether or not she returns to the United States of America. I you know remember when her sister like died in the Tesla that drove into the lake. No was Ted Kennedy involved. Sorry. No, no, no. She was at like a party or something. She got into her car and she backed out her car. What was it was it full self-driving mode? I think so, yeah. And it drove it backed out and drove into a lake and she couldn't get out and she drowned. Okay, in the tab. One, if you believe that she is going to return to the U.S. she's just visiting family. This is now you're all crazy conspiracy theorists. Elaine is a beautiful American patriot and of course she's going to be back. That's number one.
Starting point is 01:38:55 Two, at bitch fled because she's a Chinese spy. She is not returning. Tell us what you think. I am going to go out on a limb and say she is not coming back. You don't leave. I mean, granted, I understand a lot of these relationships in D.C. are purely aesthetic. Like, they're purely ceremonial and for public purposes. How the fuck could you leave your husband when he's fallen and he's allegedly a vegetable? He's falling and he can't get up. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:27 The only reason you would leave in that situation right there is if he was the only buffer you had between. something and yeah she's gone she gone i think ran one three two is the only person of all of the responses that says uh she's just she's on a holiday yeah i don't know all right so the iran war is back on guys the iran war is back on um wait till you hear the last this is one of the funniest clips i've heard from the iran war uh we we actually have the iran navy telling the ships to turn around. Check this out. Again, another reported tanker strike in the Strait of Hormuz. We think two have been struck. It might be more, but we'll hang on, we'll hang on to two for the moment.
Starting point is 01:40:15 A tanker struck by an unknown projectile trying to transit the Strait of Hormuz. Apparently another one made a huge turn and turned around. No casualties reported. Vessels are being advised to transit with caution. Meanwhile, from Fox business, they've obtained audio of an Iran. and threatening the ships in the straight and here is how that sounded in English. This is last morning, this is last morning, this is last morning, this is last morning. You are running, so put your love in danger, you are ordered to alter course to both such immediately. Alter course, you both of immediately, I use the south of Florida County and exit.
Starting point is 01:40:55 If it is a day, you will be targeted. This is the Navy out. Okay. As I said, that was that you are all in danger. You are all in danger. I wonder if that's like the same thing that ghost uncovered. You know, like the six ships that were trying to like high tail out of there using the unauthorized route. And then like five of them turn around one turned off the transponder. And they'll just sneak through.
Starting point is 01:41:24 And then they get attacked. And you know, it's an evergreen ship or ever lovely, ever lively, lively, ever lovely. Something Hillary related. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And then all of a sudden they're like, oh, the war's back on. You struck a commercial vessel. But wait, that commercial vessel deliberately disobeyed the, the agreement, the maritime laws. And they didn't kill anybody or anything like that. But are they trying to make this war continue on? I don't think President Trump's taking the bait. This was President Trump yesterday.
Starting point is 01:41:55 Three weeks ago, we had a night, 22 ships came out of the straight. And the famous trait of hormones nobody ever heard of, but it's some, it is a, that is some big money machine. I'll tell you what, when you look at the numbers, Michael, that makes everything look small. No, wait, wait. And we took out so much oil that people didn't know. And it was only took a month and a half. They finally found out. They had no radar because their radar was destroyed.
Starting point is 01:42:25 So we took them out late at night with no lights, no nothing. And our great Navy, which did the greatest blockade anyone's ever seen, not one. One ship got through in two months, and we then freed up the blockade because we're close to maybe making a deal. I don't know. We'll make, look, we're going to win one way or the other. We're either going to make a deal, or we're going to finish the job, okay? And it won't be tough to finish your job. I'd rather make a deal because I don't want to affect 91 million people.
Starting point is 01:42:53 We can knock down their bridges in one hour. We can knock out their energy supply, all of those big plants that they built, big, beautiful, Modern plants had a lot of money. They don't have any money now. We haven't given them any money. But we can knock out their electricity and power generating plants. And I would say a small part of an afternoon. Every plant will be gone.
Starting point is 01:43:20 And they know that. They know. The dealmaker right there. Okay. We have to deal with this McConnell thing because allegedly Elaine Chow is back. And here's the statement. that has been released.
Starting point is 01:43:34 The secretary was on a long planned trip in China to support her family's philanthropic endeavors. During the trip, she met with a number of people, including the US ambassador. The senator's health did not warrant an immediate return to the US. Apparently, he has been in the hospital for three weeks. They added that since Chow has returned from her trip
Starting point is 01:43:56 and is back in the US, they did not say if she has been in contact with McConnell since returning home. home. So the this is even a marriage. No. No. Yeah. Also, I'm not convinced. I'm not convinced that she's back. I'm not convinced that any of this is real. I don't. I think the family's philanthropic endeavors. Oh, we just met with a bunch of people just doing some Chinese stuff. Yeah. I don't know. I have a blood test. this um this is a pretty epic flex right here from president trump telling uh right in front of mark rute basically saying f spain and i want to thank mark he's been a great secretary general of
Starting point is 01:44:48 nato i'm not happy with nato because of what they did with greenland and i'm not happy with nato because of the fact that they didn't want to help us with the number one state sponsor of terror that's iran They were unwilling to help us. Now, in all fairness, they didn't speak to Mark about it. I think if I did, it might have been different, but we didn't need help. But I was really testing. I wanted to see whether or not they'd be there.
Starting point is 01:45:10 And the answer is they were, I spoke to Germany, I spoke to France, spoke to UK, there comes, spoke to Italy, I spoke to, I didn't speak to Spain. Spain is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore, by the way. I'd like you to cut it out of here. And Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. know they don't participate they don't pay i don't want anything to do with spain cut off all trade with spain please i love him so much spain doesn't exist scott scott cut off all trade with
Starting point is 01:45:47 spain please all right please final order that's that's the decree right there just cut off also i'll trade with spain um and then good no i just i thought i love the way he did this the cut off i'll trade with spain please done all right last last story before we uh get into the rants and get out of here uh the hollywood reporter the odyssey staggering nolan's biggest film to date clearly they've never seen the dark night inception have you the odyssey no so you can't say that right this is propaganda to make us all go see the black helen of troy and the trans gender soldier that got her ass whooped a thousand times over in a meme in a meme yeah not in the movie in which i'm sure she is the beacon of strength the means because she plays achilles right
Starting point is 01:46:45 no no hercules no i thought she was i thought she was just a soldier who is wow we should stop using female pronouns because we're a committee hate crimes at the moment one thing i learned from the dna testimony during the charlie kirk uh the tyler robinson hearing is that you can absolutely tell by your dna whether you're a male or female and so i will continue using you know no no i didn't uh place your show is called why crombs on monday so i thought you understood the genetic markers that were in play so it says um elliot page is reported to place Sennon is it sin in or sign on sign on uh the revelation came from a leaked hungarian dubbing list and into film cast listing dispelled earlier rumors she would he he he
Starting point is 01:47:44 he she would portray Achilles or Elpinar Achilles yeah that's what I was that I thought but no they're playing uh okay also she got her ass whoop those memes were delightful Those memes were epic. Yeah, I think we did like 30 minutes on an only lands just going through those I remember that episode. One of the best set of things ever there. Wilson's chick. Brian sent Badlands meet up to your email.
Starting point is 01:48:13 If you can share Ash Wednesday, please help her if you're able where we go on, we go all much love. Yes. Yeah. I just want to say very quickly, I'm not going to be talking about the, the case, the lawsuit, the legal strategy and whatnot.
Starting point is 01:48:32 We're set back to pretrial, meaning that we have to go through trial again. And so, you know, as folks know, I'm pro-state. Now, for a period of time, we had a gives and go that was called Stop NGO Lawfare, and that was focused on beating the Christiansburg standard and taking it to the Supreme Court. That case has been mooted as a point. part of the decision that came down from the 10th circuit. So that does not that no longer exists. And I saw some people sharing it. So I want to make sure that it's not active. So it's not like people can donate to it, but just to know that that is that the case that that collective
Starting point is 01:49:12 fundraising effort was for that, first of all that all of that money went to that effort. It was paid. It was presented. The case was mooted as a part of this decision. So that's dead for now. We may be able to revive it in the future, depending on what happens at the second trial. But since I'm going into second trial, you know, going through trial again, I'm not, we're kind of back to 2024 where I don't talk about this at all publicly. I do want to say thank you to just the dozens of people that have supported, whether at a guard or on the internet or, you know, through whatever. It's, it is incredibly humbling. and the dozens of people that reached out yesterday. It's been a rough few days.
Starting point is 01:49:56 Brian has heard a lot of the rage things that I have about it. But you guys help keep me going. And I just can't express enough how grateful I am to everybody in this audience. And there will be, the good thing is Brian was there. Trial covered the whole thing, has covered the case. you could talk about it but i will not be talking about it so i want to just make that clear to folks and it's um i just i love you guys and appreciate you so much thank you and on a completely unrelated note because i'm sure that we have prying eyes that are watching anything that ash does especially
Starting point is 01:50:34 if i'm on the show with her uh i just want to point out that uh judge sparkle that case was brought to her court by the league of women voters yeah just throwing that out which is probably like because Spark, Judge Sparkle. Yeah. There's a lot of things happening in courts around the country. League of Women Voters is the one that made the case in Kansas that signature verification is an unnecessary poll tax and we need to get rid of it. After signature verification is how mail-in ballots were sold to the people. It is the single only control on mail-in ballots.
Starting point is 01:51:10 Their job is expanding the franchise, not protecting it. And their job has nothing to do with the integrity of our elections. Jay Teter Brun to explanation if Kentucky Senate seat is vacant and a good follow-up for Kentucky politics and potential why we vote show at K.Y. Cooper Ryder. And I'll copy that and check it out. Thank you for that. Jay Teter Brun, Kentucky Governor Annie Bresher writes a letter to McConnell requesting a public update on his health situation. And there's a link for that too. Thank you so much. Denise Ann, well said, Ash, I completely agree and was thinking the exact same thing. this was at 1137 so probably around the McConnell Elaine Chow time
