Heading out today

Welp, it was a fun blitz in Dallas. Heading home today.

We will have the Sunday show tomorrow MONDAY evening, 18:00 ET. Was going to try and do it this morning, but it will be too tight and don't want to stress / rush.

The panel yesterday was awesome, though I think we destroyed Team MAGA - not in a bad / embarrassing / not constructive way. There's only so many times someone can respond "so vote Democrat..." or "Democrats would be worse" (which we all agree with) before it is clear they have not good answer for the critique.

At one point in the debate, I was asked "What would you do now!". I said "I would not have gotten into this mess, from Epstein to Iran, etc". was cut off but "well that's done, what would you do NOW".

I said "pull out of Iran, declare victory,. make a public statement that the admin will immediately focus on domestic issues and cost of living, show a little contrition for where things are (instead of saying "eat your $20 burritos), make some arrests and invigorate the base".

The answer was basically "You know they're not going to do that".

To which I responded "so hey didn't listen to us then when we were sounding the alarms over Epstein, Iran, Midnight Hammer, cost of living... You won't listen to us now... "Shut up, suck it up, and vote for us because Democrats are worse" will work on those who are going to vote. It's not going to get people out to vote. And that will be a disaster. 2024 was not won because Trump got the people who were always going to vote for him to vote for him. He won because the coalition got people who were NOT going to for for him - or at all - to get out and vote. Without that, 2026 - and maybe 2028 - will be a disaster.".

I haven't heard how the evening panel went, but with Andrew Wilson on Team MAGA, and Joe Kent and Alex Jones on Team America First, it ought to have been amazing.

See you all soon! Will confirm safe arrival once home.

Lindsay Clancy trial developments

“I don’t want a mistrial. Why would I want a mistrial? We kicked the sh*t out of their case”

Defense attorney then proceeds to say that the judge will “identify the juror” who is the sole holdout for a full finding of not guilty by reason of insanity.

This seems like egregious juror intimidation.

The sidebar that was done publicly, singling out the apparent sole juror, is basically putting a target on that juror’s back for when they will invariably be publicly identified.

I don’t know if this is standard protocol. But it certainly seems abnormal and very dirty.

Mark Carney

20 times.

In under 2 minutes.

That's how many times this raging buffoon Carney says "uhhhhh" in his response to this question.

And he doesn't think "appointed, unelected cabinet members in the United states are experts on Canadian politics"?

You know how many Canadian Federal MPs were born outside of Canada?

A lot!

Jury intimidation in Lindsay Clancy trial

I’m sure you’ve all already heard that a woman was arrested for alleged jury intimidation in the Lindsay Clancy trial. She was apparently photographing or recording jury members outside the courthouse.

Her name is Dawn Light.

She looks like a total lunatic. Like Kathy Bates out of misery.

I made the joke that if she is a retired nurse, I would investigate every death that occurred under her watch.

Then someone mentioned something about her son dying prematurely.

In looking that up, it seems she made the news in 2017 for falling into her son‘s gravesite.

It seems her husband also died prematurely period of ALS. The son apparently died from a seizure.

This is weird.
