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.

Update in Brian Cole Jr. prosecution

The prosecutors in Brian Cole Jr.s case are trying to get his attorneys kicked off the file due to “conflict of interests” because they also represent Steve Baker and Joe Hanneman in the civil defamation suit filed by Shauni Kerkhoff.

You have to fully appreciate how benevolent the prosecution is! 😂

They are concerned that Brian Cole Jr. isn’t getting adequate representation from his attorneys because of a conflict of interest involving third parties who willingly hired those attorneys to represent them.

Yup… I’m sure they’re doing this for no one else’s benefit other than Kerkhoff herself.

Special Notices

 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The Spirit of 76, the brilliant revolutionary fearlessness expressed by an Ohio carriage painter (Archibald Willard) after the Civil War to remind Americans of their deepest spirit of joyful revolution, the elder drumming away as the young boy mirrors his beat, and the middle aged American bandana-dressed letting his fingers dance on the flute, unaffected in spirit by the turmoil of the Revolution maintaining its spirit of resistance amidst its all, the flag still flying behind the smoke, the soldiers cheering, and the spirit marching onward.

I. THE INTRODUCTION
 

Special Notices

 
A. Art of the Day 
  • The allure of the staircase, like bidges, doors, and windows, always attract my mind’s eye, as portals between worlds, accented here by the color pallete and structural designs of the art deco era a century ago, blessed by the glamorous dress pooled around the elegant woman moving between those worlds as she bidges the steps, champagne flue carefully in hand, with the past yet close and the future still beckoning. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
