Utah prosecutors argued in their bindover memorandum that the evidence presented during Tyler Robinson's five-day preliminary hearing easily established probable cause for him to stand trial on all seven charges connected to the killing of Charlie Kirk. The state pointed to Robinson's alleged admissions to his roommate, Lance Twiggs, and several friends, including messages in which he reportedly acknowledged shooting Kirk, described planning the attack for more than a week and discussed retrieving or concealing the rifle. Prosecutors maintained that those statements were reinforced by surveillance footage allegedly tracking Robinson onto the roof of Utah Valley University's Losee Center, eyewitness testimony and DNA evidence connecting him to the rifle recovered near the campus. The memorandum emphasized that the state was not required to prove Robinson's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at this stage, only that there was sufficient evidence to reasonably believe he committed the crimes.The state asked Judge Tony Graf Jr. to bind Robinson over for trial on aggravated murder and the remaining charges, which included felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child. Prosecutors also defended the victim-targeting enhancement, arguing that Robinson allegedly selected Kirk because of Kirk's political and religious positions, particularly his views concerning gender and sexuality. According to the state, Robinson's alleged statements showed both an intent to kill and a motive rooted in hostility toward Kirk's beliefs, while his purported efforts to hide the weapon and influence Twiggs supported the additional charges.

Once again, Darrell Castle discusses war but with a little diplomacy and an historical reminder that technology constantly changes but human nature never changes. Transcription / Notes THE HUMILIATION FACTOR Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 7th day of August in the year of our Lord 2026. I'm afraid my beat is war once again but with a little diplomacy and an historical reminder that technology constantly changes but human nature never changes. For the history lesson I have to go back to December 7th, 1941, and perhaps even a few days before that. This story is important because of the title to this report but also because yesterday, August 6 was the 81st anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima Japan. The United States was engaged in diplomacy with Japan regarding Japan's invasion of China and Roosevelt's refusal to sell them more oil until they left China. The Japanese had to import virtually all their raw materials and they got oil primarily from the U.S. The Japanese had behaved so horribly in China that Roosevelt tried to persuade the Europeans to join him in a conditional boycott but they refused so he decided to do it himself. If you want to know more about how the Japanese behaved in China I recommend Iris Chang's book “The Rape of Nanchang, The Forgotten Holocaust of World War ll. Well, at least the two sides were talking to each other through diplomats around a conference table in Washington D.C. The Japanese knew that if the U.S. continued to refuse to sell them oil they would have to get it by conquering the oil and rubber rich nations of the South Pacific so they made plans to do just that. Those nations could not be conquered with the U.S. Navy at large in the Pacific so Japan's plan included that Navy's destruction in an attack we know as Pearl Harbor. Admiral Yamamoto, commander of the Japanese Fleet, had given orders that a war warning had to given to the American diplomats about one hour before the attack but delays of various kinds caused the warning to be delivered one hour after battleship row was burning. The Japanese believed that when the decadent, luxury loving, American people were confronted with this debacle they would demand that their leaders negotiate a way out of it. There were an awful lot of American members of Congress and the Senate who were in office because they were opposed to fighting European wars. There was an America first contingent which measured about 140 members. How could any nation so divided muster the will to fight a long bloody war, but the Japanese were catastrophically wrong in their assessment. Immediately after the attack the America first group voted to disband. Charles Linberg, the most outspoken and most famous antiwar advocate tried to join the Army Air Corps. Men lined up around the block in every city in America. School boys lied about their age to enlist. Keep in mind that in Japan every radio receiver in every military unit was tuned to American broadcasts in order to discern the mood of the people. Military transcriptionists took down every word of every broadcast and on December 8th at 12:30 PM they were turned in for FDR's speech. He spoke for only 6 minutes and none of it was a call for patience or negotiation but instead he called it a day that will live in infamy. The American people and the President were fueled to righteous anger by the deceptive nature of it. The term sneak attack was on everyone's lips and worse because it happened while the two sides were negotiating. That's a long history report, folks, but there is a reason for it. The reason is that another sneak attack, conducted while the two sides were negotiating has now happened. The anger, the determination to fight on no matter how long it took that fueled American resolve is now being felt by citizens of The Islamic Republic of Iran. Yes American diplomats were negotiating with Iranian diplomats when the U.S, and Israeli bombers struck. The attack didn't just destroy Iranian military targets, but it killed their supreme leader and almost his whole family including his 14-month-old granddaughter. The next day American bombs struck a girls school and around 160 little girls were killed but just to make sure it was hit again. How are these people supposed to feel about negotiating with America to end this war. How can they be expected to ever trust an American's word again. The problem continues almost daily as U.S. negotiators, if there are any besides the president, continue to go back on their word which is diplomat speak for lying. For example, the 14-point Memorandum of Understanding the president announced the other day called for Iran to control the Strait of Hormuz. The next day the president reneged on that point. I read someone the other day and I can't remember who said it, but he said President Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize because he has ended the Iran War 7 times and number 8 is coming soon. Think about the mindset that the U.S. sneak attack must have created in the minds of the Iranian people. Before it happened there did seem to be a lot of unrest and a lot of division. People were in the streets protesting the harsh measures of the regime and that regime proceeded to kill thousands of them. I imagine the President was told that his sneak attack would have the same effect on the Iranian people that the Japanese thought Pearl Harbor would have on the American people. Both those assumptions were catastrophically wrong. Instead of causing the Iranian people to riot and overthrow their government it brought them together. The hated Mullahs were once again respected leaders. Thousands attended the Ayatollah's funeral. I think it was Mark Twain who said history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes. Now the situation is so much worse for the U.S. and of course for Israel which was, apparently, the reason for the sneak attack. The Strait is at least a very dangerous place and ships can't sail without extreme danger. The entire world's economy teeters on the brink of depression. Oil and other needed mineral resources are soaring in price since about 20% of them have to pass through that chokehold. Meanwhile the President has announced a new deal being brokered by his Board of Peace involving peace in Gaza. The lynch pin would require Hamas, a terrorist group financed by Iran, to give up its arms and identify all its tunnels etc. In other words, Hamas would cease to exist and Israel would leave Gaza so that the U.S. and the Middle East members of the Board such as the Saudis and the Gulf States could rebuild it and everyone would prosper. The moment the deal was announced Netanyahu said the President sent it to him and he didn't like it. He said Israel would not leave Gaza until Hamas completely disarmed and Hamas Says it will not disarm until Israel leaves. Qatar is apparently kicking Hamas out of its country and rumors have it moving its operations to Turkey which is apparently the President's hope for the role of ensuring Middle East peace. My point in all this is that it is humiliating and embarrassing, or it should be. This country is supposed to be trusted because we have laws and rules, and we are supposed to stand for something. There are things we simply will never do and financing another country's crimes is one of those things. The first law of the land of course is the Constitution because it says it is the supreme law of the land. It restricts the power of leaders and they all take an oath to it but for most that means nothing. The standard of completely disarmed is virtually impossible to know or measure and that leaves the door open for this conflict to continue indefinitely. In the meantime, Reuters reports that the U.S. has expended more than 80% of its antimissile defense missiles. The Iranians are very smart people and they have been for a long time. They just keep putting missiles into U.S. bases and into Israel knowing that only a few will get through but it requires the U.S. to expend its supply and what then. The President announces what turns out to be a temporary halt to bombing, I guess. The U.S. position with regard to Israel and the Middle East is indefensible and I guess that's why they no longer try to defend it. The attitude seems to be the old one made famous by Baghdad Bob. You are not seeing this so just move on because everything is fine. I chose humiliation as the title of this Report because it is humiliating for a great nation to force people to pay for their own destruction. A foreign nation somehow persuades the U.S. to give it money so it can use that money to buy U.S. politicians who will then vote to fund its expansionist wars. I'll close this report on our humiliation with a few words from old friend and economist Bill Bonner. “No matter how cynical you are, its probably not enough. Perhaps Donald Trump is playing a different game altogether. He marshalls DOGE to cut spending but does not actually cut a dime out of the swollen federal budget. He makes grand theater out of tariffs but trade deficits continue unmolested. No more foreign wars, he pledges and then attacks Iran.” Finally, folks, the way out of this seems very difficult to bear but wouldn't it be better to quit now so we can manage the withdrawal rather than wait until we are forced out. The Iran War was a mistake we should admit and we are sorry we made it. We are especially sorry for those Iranian school girls and we will pay compensation to their families. It's the same decision made by the French after Dein Bin Phu when we decided to take up their war. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

Baron 52: What the U.S. Intelligence Community Knew — and WhenBaron 52 (REFNO 1983)Date: August 2026Three months after Baron 52 went down, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon's senior civilian official for POW/MIA affairs still treated the survival of the crew as an open analytical question.A year later, language about four Americans believed captured in Laos reached the President of the United States.In this episode we examine the American intelligence record that has long sat alongside the intercept — what U.S. agencies documented in 1973 and 1974, and what later investigative reporting added.Drawing on the new U.S. Intelligence Community Reporting and Correlations Addendum, we walk through:The May 1973 DIA assessment involving Dr. Roger Shields and the Berbrich memorandumCIA order-of-battle reporting that independently tracked the 210th AAA Regiment and the formation of the 377th Air Defense DivisionThe personnel correlation of Lt.

A former soldier just set off an incendiary device and fired an airsoft rifle right outside 26 Federal Plaza — the building that houses ICE and immigration courts. This wasn't random. Andrew Arrabaca, a 43-year-old Army veteran and National Guardsman, showed up armed with axes, a machete, knives, fireworks, and a cart reading “ICE off our streets.” He poured flammable liquid, lit the blaze, fired pellets at the building, and told investigators he didn't care if he killed people. The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is investigating it as a potential terror attack. Four people were hurt. Security tackled him. This is where anti-ICE extremism leads when it moves beyond protests. Americans who've watched open borders, sanctuary cities, and nonstop attacks on ICE have seen this radicalization coming — and now it's here.

On the July 20, 2026 edition of The Tara Show, host Tara Servatius breaks down key national security debates and political commentary. She examines Secretary of State Marco Rubio's forceful rejection of International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction, contrasting his defense of U.S. sovereignty with progressive efforts to enforce international warrants against foreign leaders and domestic officials. Servatius also offers a sharp critique of foreign policy decisions under the Trump administration, specifically pointing to JD Vance's Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran, which she argues enabled the regime to rearm and directly led to recent U.S. service member casualties in the Middle East. After sharing a reflective quote from Senator Lindsey Graham on the tendency of political figures to overestimate their competition, the broadcast addresses domestic enforcement measures, highlighting Stephen Miller's announcement of a Trump administration plan to strip undocumented immigrants of access to the American banking system as a catalyst for self-deportation.

In the final hour of the broadcast, The Tara Show explores political primary dynamics, foreign policy consequences, and cultural commentary. Republican candidate Mark Lynch joins host Tara Servatius to discuss his bid for the U.S. Senate in South Carolina, positioning himself as a business outsider fighting against establishment politics. Servatius then addresses the tragic loss of three U.S. service members in the Middle East, sharply criticizing the administration's Memorandum of Understanding with Iran and accusing China of aiding in targeting attacks against American forces. Turning to ideological critique, she highlights a speech by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller that attributes leftist political motives to envy and hostility toward traditional values. Finally, Servatius turns her focus internationally to warn that new political leadership in the United Kingdom under Andy Burnham will further accelerate civil liberty restrictions, digital identity mandates, and internet surveillance toward totalitarian control.

In this segment, host Tara Servatius addresses listener texts questioning why Democrats do not face criticism for past foreign interventions or demand the extradition of anti-American terrorists to international courts. Servatius severely critiques the foreign policy approach taken by JD Vance regarding Iran, arguing that the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and lifting of blockades allowed the Iranian regime to rearm with Chinese components, directly leading to recent American service member casualties. Drawing parallels to past military operations under President Barack Obama in Libya, she argues that attempts to normalize or permit missile capabilities for hostile nations jeopardize U.S. troops and undermine national security.

In this emotional and critical segment from The Tara Show, host Tara Servatius mourns the tragic loss of three U.S. service members killed in the Middle East, including a 19-year-old private. Servatius forcefully criticizes the administration's foreign policy choices—specifically targeting JD Vance's Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran, the lifting of maritime blockades, and the easing of oil sanctions. She contends that these concessions allowed Iran and Chinese-backed interests to rearm and execute targeted strikes against American forces. Highlighting comments from Representative Riley Moore regarding reports of Chinese and Russian satellite targeting support for Iran, Servatius demands an immediate, uncompromising stance against foreign adversaries and urges an end to diplomatic concessions that put American service members at risk.
