President Trump says the 2020 election was a total FRAUD — and he wants a Special Prosecutor. Because “oopsies” don't cut it when you rig an entire election. The meltdown from the left? Even bigger.

Today's After Show covered a major announcement from the new administration: Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya are launching a $10 million federal study into the long-term health effects of the East Palestine train disaster—a move the Biden administration refused to act on. Meanwhile, Trump is calling for a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election, backed by mounting evidence including Chinese interference and fraudulent activity. Explosive new testimony reveals the Biden White House's widespread use of the “auto pen,” raising serious constitutional concerns. Plus, RFK Jr. pushes the FDA to phase out petroleum-based food dyes, and the man with the world's highest IQ explains why quantum physics supports belief in the afterlife—and Jesus Christ. You don't want to miss this one.

Jon Herold navigates a chaotic tech-glitchy Friday show to deliver one of the most significant developments yet: President Trump has publicly called for a special prosecutor to investigate the 2020 election, reigniting the battle over election integrity. Jon dives into the implications of this explosive Truth Social post and connects it to Sidney Powell's past revelation that Trump had named her special counsel in a now-infamous December 2020 White House meeting. From renewed questions about election fraud and foreign interference to Trump's bold stance on Juneteenth and border control, Herold keeps it raw and unscripted. He also breaks down reports of secret nuclear negotiations between the Trump administration and Iran, the 9th Circuit's decision on National Guard powers, and the media's failed inflation predictions under Trump's tariff policies. Toss in a few liberal meltdowns, some sharp shots at fake news and grifters, and Jon's vision for a Badlands compound at the base of a mountain, and you've got a jam-packed episode that blends deep intel, spicy takes, and genuine grassroots energy. Technical hiccups aside, this one hits hard.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/9W-28UtY1lYDay 31 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on June 11, 2025. Neither Karen Read nor Former Trooper Proctor will be called to testify. A charging conference, where jury instructions will be discussed, is scheduled for tomorrow. The Defense is requesting instructions regarding "missing witnesses" and the hoodie, but not a "third-party culprit" instruction.Dr. Rentschler's testimony focused on the paint transfer test and concluded that the injuries were inconsistent with the Commonwealth's theory, stating that the abrasions on O'Keefe's arm do not correspond to how an arm would interact with the vehicle if struck at a right angle. The Defense effectively used visuals from his Power Point to support Dr. Rentschler's testimony.During cross-examination, Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, largely avoided questions about Dr. Rentschler's testing, instead focusing on his independence and expenses. Rentschler maintained his opinions were unchanged by these factors. Brennan's cross-examination strategy undermined the Commonwealth's position, especially given the high payment to their own experts.A significant development is that the Commonwealth will not call any rebuttal witnesses once the defense rests, a surprising move given their prior legal battles over testimony. The introduction of X-rays by the defense, which many believed didn't exist due to Dr. Welcher's testimony, may have influenced this decision.With the evidence phase concluding, the next steps are the charging conference, where jury instructions and lesser-included crimes will be debated, and then closing arguments on Friday. The jury will then deliberate, with the complexity of Count Two (involuntary manslaughter) expected to be a key focus, as it was in the previous trial.

On week 8 of the trial, will the jury get the case this week to deliberate?Special Prosecutor, Hanke Brennan, asks Dr. Wolfe, the Director of Accident Reconstruction at ARCCA, about the appearance of holes on the back of Mr. O'Keefe's hoodie and whether these holes are consistent with road rash or other damage. He asked him if he'd ever consider if Mr. O'Keefe may have fallen or landed on his back. Dr. Wolf stated he did not consider whether Mr. O'Keefe had fallen or landed on his back. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, asked for a Mistrial with Prejudice due to Intentional Misconduct by the prosecution regarding questioning about the hoodie and its damage. The defense argued the prosecution intentionally left out evidence about the holes on the back of the hoodie being clippings from the crime lab. The judge did not grant a mistrial but agreed to instructed the jury to disregard the questions and give a strong admonishment about the prosecution. When it came time to it, the Judge did not give a strong admonishment or admit the pictures into evidence. At the end of the day, the defense said that they will address this the following day.A Voir Dire of Dr. Laposata was conducted and Judge Cannone ruled she cannot testify that the wounds on John O'Keefe's arm were from a dog, but she will be able to testify about the original opinions about the cause and manner of death.

Dr. Marie Russell, the defense's dog bite expert, is on the stand for cross-examination. There's discussion about Karen Read's statements and whether they changed Dr. Russell's opinion. Dr. Russell states that Read's statements did not change her analysis, citing Read's stressful state and potential acute grief reaction.The defense moves for a mistrial with prejudice due to the prosecution bringing up DNA in front of the jury, which is ultimately denied. Dr. Russell's redirect involves questions about why DNA results not showing dog DNA didn't change her opinion, and discussions of medical journal articles regarding dog bites.Sgt. Nicholas Barros, a Dighton Police Officer, testifies about observing damage to the tail light of Karen Read's SUV. He describes a crack and a missing piece instead of the majority of it gone. Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, cross-examines Barros, focusing on inconsistencies in his testimony and report, his meeting with defense attorneys, and the condition of the tail light being potentially obscured by snow. There's a discussion about photos of the tail light and discrepancies in the damage shown, and how his memory of the damage might have been affected by seeing various videos and photos of the vehicle after the initial observation.RESOURCESFirst Trial Day 22 - https://youtube.com/live/_Z1DhJDQj5YWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

During week seven of the trial, the defense is currently presenting its case, and they are keeping in mind that the prosecution will have rebuttal witnesses.Judge Cannone allowed Former Trooper Michael Proctor's texts to be admitted into evidence while being read by his childhood friend, Jonathan Diamandis. When the texts messages began to get really egregious, the witness didn't feel comfortable reading it allowed so Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, read them allowed while the witness confirmed what was said. This didn't offer for the truth of the matter but instead, focusing on his state of mind and potential bias in the investigation.A key witness, Kelly Dever, a former Canton police officer, testified about seeing Chief Burkowitz and Brian Higgins with Karen Reed's SUV for a long time the night of John O'Keefe's death. She later claimed this was a false memory influenced by a timeline. She also mentioned being interviewed by the FBI and being threatened with perjury by the defense team.Dr. Marie Russell, a dog bite expert, discussed John O'Keefe's injuries to his right arm. Dr. Russell believes the injuries are consistent with a dog attack and not with a motor vehicle accident.

After a brief Direct Examination by Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, of their Accident Reconstructionist, Dr. Welcher, Cross Examination took up the whole day and will continue on Day 23. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, ross-examination was rigorous and focused on challenging the credibility, methodology, and conclusions of the Commonwealth's expert witness. Dr. Welcher was repeatedly admonished by the court for looking at his computer and searching for information during the cross-examination, rather than answering directly from memory.Alessi questioned Dr. Welchre about the significant amount his firm, Aperture, was being paid by the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office ($325,000), and the details surrounding the purchase and sale of a Lexus exemplar for testing. The defense sought to highlight potential bias due to financial incentives.Alessi challenged inconsistencies in Dr. Welchre's testimony, such as the distance the Lexus traveled in reverse during a test (initially said to be 53 feet, then 87 feet), and the explanation of the 8 mph threshold for tail light breakage.Alessi delved into Dr. Welcher's use of data and images from Trooper Paul's report, questioning the extent to which Dr. Welcher relied on that information in his analysis. There was a dispute about a drone image and other diagrams, leading to a "Voir dire" (examination outside the presence of the jury) to clarify the sources of these materials.The voir dire aimed to clarify the sources of Dr. Welcher's materials and to determine the extent to which he relied on Trooper Paul's report or other evidence. It highlighted the defense's effort to question the independence of Dr. Welcher's analysis and the Commonwealth's attempt to defend it. The voir dire concluded with plans to continue the cross-examination the following day, with the understanding that time was limited due to a juror's scheduling issue.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/3DAtOqbCSh0Day 21 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 27, 2025. Week six of evidence included a voir dire of Dr. Welcher, the Commonwealth's accident reconstructionist. Concerns were raised about updated slides and changes to the presentation at the direction of Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, without informing the defense. Dr. Welcher also mentioned being "inundated" with emails about issues with Burgess' CV but he was told by the court not to read or discuss them.The accident reconstructionist focused on the "trigger event," during a three point turn and its connection to Ian Whiffin's last point of contact. There was also discussion of variance, the three-point turn of the Lexus, and the backing event. Dr. Welcher analyzed the Lexus's tech stream data, which records data before and after a trigger event, such as reversing and accelerating. The data showed the backing event occurred about 8 minutes after the three-point turn. There are discrepancies and confusing aspects of Dr. Welcher's testimony and PowerPoint slides.He also revealed that the Lexus's tires were spinning and slipping during the backing event, and the car traveled a total of 87 feet. Dr. Welcher ultimately concluded that the Lexus struck John O'Keefe, which led to objections and a sidebar discussion. Dr. Dr. Welcher struggled to provide exact details, such as the point of impact or speed, and that many of his findings showed “results that were all over the map”. He also mentions he is only certain that damage to Karen Read's tail light didn't come from John O'Keefe's Chevy. Though this expert's testimony was tedious and disorganized, it did provided many areas doubt which is a win for the defense. Direct Examination will continue on Day 22.RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/IJgD247smlQDay 19 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 20, 2025. Defense Attorney, Robert Alessi, continued cross examining Shanon Burgess. Questions arose regarding the accuracy of dates and timeline in the expert's analysis, with errors of 24 hours. Burgess kept saying that the event happened the night of January 29-30th when in reality is it was January 28-29th. Shanon's analysis of call logs, text streams, and vehicle data was scrutinized. There were concerns about the use of approximate times and potential confirmation bias. The expert did not have the raw data for the techstream information, he instead got it from Welcher's report. During redirect examination, Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, attempted to clarify Burgess' credentials and data interpretation. Pointing out that he didn't need that degree to perform his job and that work life balance made it a challenge to complete his degree.On Re-Cross Examination, Alessi pointed out that in a federal court filing in Texas, Burgess' resume stated he was anticipating a BGS - Bachelor of General Science in 2024. There is no Bachelor of General Science degree in Alabama and he has been pursuing this degree since 2008. The use of the Commonwealths presenting video and audio clips, especially the voicemail, appears to be related to establishing a timeline of Karen Read's movements and actions around the time of John O'Keefe's death. The defense may use it to show her actions were consistent, while the prosecution may use it to point out inconsistencies. The 12:25/12:30 timeframe she gives for John's passing may be challenged given her audio from the voicemail at 12:41AM.Later in the day, Christina Hanley, a trace analyst expert witness from the lab testified about a mechanical match on glass.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/hC-r7dHxioADay 16 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 15, 2025. At the end of Re-Cross Examination, Maureen Harnett, the forensic analyst, wanted to "correct something for the record" from their previous testimony. This implies there might have been an error or omission in their earlier statements that they feel needs to be addressed. However, the court and Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, did not seem inclined to allow the correction at that moment. Judge Cannone let them know all of the questions that needed to be asked of them was complete and they were free to go.Next, Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello, Coroner & Medical Examiner, took the stand! A significant portion of the testimony revolves around the coroner's finding that the manner of John O'Keefe's death was "undetermined." This term is defined as when the information pointing to one manner of death is not more compelling than other reasonable possibilities, or when the death investigation lacks sufficient information to opine on a manner of death at the time the death certificate is signed.The coroner stated she examined John O'Keefe's lower extremities as part of the protocol in cases of suspected impact with a motor vehicle. She did not find any evidence of an impact site. The Prosecution asked the coroner repeatedly if she was aware of various pieces of information, including statements that Karen Read allegedly made, such as "I hit him," that she didn't know how she cracked her tail light, and that people had been drinking. The coroner confirms that she was aware of most of this information before making her determination. Despite knowing all this information, Dr. Scordi-Bello still concluded that the manner of death was undetermined.The coroner recalls two individuals being present at the autopsy. Initially, she doesn't remember their names, but after looking at a log, she identifies them as Mr. Keefe and Mr. Connor. There's confusion, because Trooper Connor Keefe's testimony is that he attended the autopsy alone but the person next to him looks a lot like Former Trooper Michael Proctor.After the Jury was dismissed, disputes over expert witnesses involve issues of late discovery, changing reports, timing discrepancies, and procedural fairness. Defense attorney, Robert Alessi, is concerned that the Commonwealth is trying to adjust Aperture, their expert's testimony, to align with other witness, Ian Whiffin. This new report shifts the estimated time of impact from between 12:31:38am-12:31:43am to 12:32:16am. The Commonwealth, in turn, argues that they need more time to review the defense's voluminous reports from ARCCA and to ensure their expert can provide a complete and accurate analysis. These conflicts are creating significant tension and procedural challenges in the trial. Judge Cannone has taken under advisement and will make a determination soon.RESOURCESFormer Trooper Proctor Did Not Attend The Autopsy - https://youtu.be/etzXdZ2T3D4&t=128sWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 -

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/CQm0FID9AXYDay 9 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on May 5, 2025. We continue with Cross Examination and finishing up the testimony of Hannah Knowles from the Massachusetts State Police Crime Laboratory who explains the blood alcohol conversions and retrograde extrapolation, and how timing is critical in this case. Testimonies from Ryan Nagle, Heather Maxom, and Sarah Levinson provide insights into the events at 34 Fairview, including arrival times and observations of Karen Read's SUV. Sarah Levenson's surprisingly states never seeing the dog, Chloe, at the Albert's residence despite being friends with Brian Albert Jr. for many years.Katie McLaughlin, the female EMT who Jen McCabe stated Karen read said, "I hit him" three time in front of took the said. She also said that she heard Karen read say, "I hit him," but it was four times. Cross-examination by Alan Jackson focused on the timing of these statements and used dashcam video to break down these interactions and how her testimony does match up with what is happening on the video. Unfortunately, Jackson spent a majority of the time trying to get a "gotcha" moment by trying to prove that Katie McLaughlin and Caitlin Albert are close friends but he was unable to recreate that moment from the first trial due Special Prosecutor allowing Katie to explain her acquaintance relationship with Caitlin ahead of the Cross Examination. Jackson did manage to impeach Katie based on her words of first trial where she said that she knew of a girl by the name of Caitlin Albert that went to her school but that victory was short lived because he tried to being in picture evidence that kept being objected and sustained by Judge Cannone. Last witness of the day, Lt. Paul Gallagher, worked for the Canton Police Department at the time of the John O'Keefe's death and was the site supervisor. His testimony reveals issues with evidence handling and a lack of reports. It was his decision to use a leaf blower on the snow to uncover evidence, put blood found in the snow in Red Solo Cup and then transport them in Stop & Shop bags and found and handled the shattered drinking cocktail glass. Lt. Gallagher never wrote a report about his methods or even logged evidence with the blood he transferred. Questions about the chain of custody and why crucial information regarding Karen Read's statements was not relayed to the site supervisor. We also learn that Lieutenant Gallagher was not interviewed until just before the previous trial on April 3, 2024 by the Prosecution. We will resume with Cross Examination on Day 10.

Episode 4462: Directly Investigating The Deep State; Trump For Special Prosecutor

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/tL9-DNEWaLoDay 7 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 30, 2025. Jen McCabe is back on the stand with Direct Examination. Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, asked her to recount when Karen Read said, "I hit him, I hit him, I hit him." Jen said it was in front of a female EMT and she was shock that Karen would say something like that. Direct Examination end in the morning for Alan Jackson to come in hot for a fiery Cross Examination! Jackson confronted Jen McCabe about not telling the Grand Jury that Karen said that she hit John O'Keefe and in fact she only said "Could I have hit him?" and "Did I hit him?" Jen was very evasive with her answers and even questioned Jackson. Judge Cannone would ask Jackson to move along because he would ask Jen McCabe the same question over and over again. Sometimes it would seem like he was making mountains of mole hills. Other times he would make snarky comments and the Judge would tell him to stop and tell the Jury to dismiss his comments.Jackson pointed out how Jen was corroborating stories with everyone that had been at 34 Fairview Rd the night of the 28th and the morning of the 29th. It began as early as after the Police and First Responders left the scene. Jen even went as far as to ask Julie Nagle for a screenshot of a text message of when her brother, Ryan Nagle, arrived at 34 Fairview Rd to pick her up. Jen did not share that information with Law Enforcement.The biggest discrepancy was that she initially lied to the FBI! The FBI showed up to Jen McCabe's to question her about the case. Jen asked them to wait for 10 mins before speaking with them. The FBI reminded her that it is crime to lie to them and they asked her if she called anyone before they began their conversation. Jen told them that she called her husband, Matt McCabe and her friend, Kerry Roberts. Jen ended the interview early because she felt uncomfortable with the questions they had asked her. Jen later called back the FBI to let them know that she "forgot" that she had also called 3 additional people during those 10 mins: Peggy O'Keefe, The District Attorney Witness Advocate, and Brian Albert Sr. Judge Cannone had another Freudian slip by calling Jen McCabe- Ms. Read. Ouch!There are many highlights of Jen McCabe seemingly being evasive but the biggest thing that didn't add up was her saying that she told Former Trooper Michael Proctor that she told him that she hear Karen Read say, "I hit him." However, that was not in his report. It doesn't make sense that Mr. Proctor didn't include that his report because that would have been perceived as a confession and Karen would have been in hand cuffs much sooner.RESOURCESRetrial Day 6 Case Brief - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV3yO_X6EpsSherri Papini Case - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVeiHSEo6VMWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 -

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D Baker YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/live/8gU9569DwaUDay 5 of the Karen Read Retrial happened on April 29, 2025. The Cross Examination of Ian Whiffin continues with focusing on what was and wasn't included. Whiffin came under scrutiny, particularly when they admitted to not knowing the freezer's baseline temperature, the exact date of when he created his report or what the freezing temperature is in Fahrenheit. During Re-Direct, Whiffin demonstrated a tool he created for evaluating cell phone data.Surprisingly, Jen McCabe took the stand while Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, upped the drama by asking questions like, "And then what happened that changed everything?" Jen's testimony is clearer and more direct than in the previous trial. There have been some things that are not consistent with what she said in the first trial and we'll see how that will be confronted during Cross Examination. The Judge cut off Jen McCabe's story when Karen, Kerry Roberts and her found John O'Keefe's body in the snow and she was doing chest compressions to try to revive him. We'll pick up the rest of Direct Examination on Day 7.After the Jury was dismissed, Judge Cannone heard Brennan's Motion to Preclude ARCCA from Testifying New Opinions. The Judge Ruled in the Defense's favor and granted ARCCA to testify and enter in their report by May 7th though it wasn't without a tongue lashing. The Judge cited the Defendant's right to a fair trial as paramount even though she found that the Defense's Discovery Violations are ambushing the Prosecution's case. The Judge expects counsel comply with all rulings, rules of the court, all rules of professional conduct and no more nonsense!RESOURCESWhat You Need to Know About the Retrial - https://youtu.be/89Jpa8vz1RQ Karen Read Retrial Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKOJlfL__9F027hlETVU-vo Karen Read Trial - 2024 - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsbUyvZas7gKUeCUzApgsEuQRXu5IXeTSThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Spotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacy

Send us a textFew offices in the history of our government have produced more harm, to more people, more often, and more efficiently that the office created in 1973 to investigate the Watergate Scandal. The Special Prosecutor's statute stayed on the books the rest of the 20th century and was used to wound the reelection campaign of George H. W. Bush, and then cripple the final years of the Presidency of Bill Clinton. It has horribly damaged the historical legacies of four United States Presidents: Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. Ironically, the very party who dreamed this evil institution up, the Democratic Party,  was the same one to end it when the statue expired in 1999, but only after it had been effectively used to demolish a President of their own party, even as the Impeachment attempt failed to remove Bill Clinton from office.  Then congress invented its bastardized cousin, the Special Counsel statue. While it does have some modest restraints compared to the absolute total powers of the Special Prosecutor's statute, the record of abuse there may not be fully known until our current era, centered around Donald Trump, is over. As we look back at the 1992 Presidential Election and its controversial end. We thought this the perfect opportunity to show to our listeners the full impact of the 30 years of dishonesty that has been used to devastatingly wound four American Presidencies. But even worse than the damage done to the institution of the Presidency is the personal destruction it has wrought on the innocent aids to these Presidents. Often young men and women, whose only real crime was earnestly wanting to play role in the history of the nation and seize the opportunity so few people get in life, the chance to work for the President of the United States. Instead, many faced prison time, and were financially wiped out, while the most dastardly, horrible , unethical people you could have ever dreamed up paraded themselves on television and in books as lawyers who champion justice while playing on the trusting nature of a naive public that still believes that our Justice System is the one uncorrupted branch of government left in the land. Here we lay everything out, the abuses of power, and the intentionally corrupt birth of the most evil office our government has ever created. We hope it will serve as a warning for what we have seen in our more modern times, so that perhaps wise heads will see to it that this institution dies, with a stake through its heart.

After a tough primary challenge from a surprisingly strong Pat Buchanan, an upstart billionaire in Ross Perot jumping in who had a personal ax to grind with Bush going back many years, and then a formidable, charismatic, Southern Governor in Bill Clinton to face at the head of a resurgent Democratic Party, all combined with a struggling economy, George Bush finally had some momentum heading into the final week of the campaign. The economy had seen some improvement with a 2.8% growth rate in the the third quarter of 1992, and Bush was seeing many of his initiative's bearing fruit out in the electorate. Plus, Bush was seen by everyone as having been a very effective foreign policy President, it seemed that the doubts about the other two leading candidates had finally started to settle in, and people were coming home to the President.  The polls by the Wednesday prior to the election had the race in a statistical dead heat. Bush was energized by all the good news and he had one strong card that he was about to play in the final weekend. That card was former President Ronald Reagan, the most popular public figure in a generation, and he was out on the trail for the final time in order to help his former Vice President. All the news for Bush seemed good, Clinton and his team were worried. And then, the sinister hand of the most evil office ever created by our country would strike again. The Iran Contra Special Prosecutor would indict former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and several others, and they would document dump a number of records into the debate including notes , that everyone had already known existed, that contradicted Bush's earlier statements about his knowledge of the Iran Contra Affair and the sale of weapons to Iran for the release of hostages. The results of that October Surprise engineered by the Special Prosecutor was the stopping of all of that momentum, the Clinton Campaign pounced on the news, and the momentum of the entire election swung totally back to the Governor in those final four days. It would lead to hard and bitter feelings amongst Republicans that to this day have never faded away and cemented in the mind of one Republican, our Host Randal Wallace, that their has never been a more evil office than the Special Prosecutor's Office in our system of government, and that the use of lawfare so flagrantly is the root source of much of the bitter divisiveness that has finally  ground our system to halt 32 years later.  Boundless Insights - with Aviva KlompasIn depth analysis of what's happening in Israel—and why it matters everywhere.Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyQuestions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Send us a textHe's Back!!!!After a nearly three month absence in the 1992 Presidential race, Ross Perot decides to jump back in to the race. The truth is he probably never really ever left it. All I can say about whomever's tactical decision it was to have him withdraw in the first place needed to have their head examined. It ranks, in my opinion, as one of the stupidest decisions in the history of campaign politics. The fact is he could have won instead he would prove to be a dramatic spoiler, at least for George Bush. The debate is still out as to what would have happened had Perot not been in the 1992 race. Some experts say the polling does not back up the assertion that he cost Bush the election, I don;'t know the answer to that, I tend to think it was one of many mountains Bush needed to climb but I still blame the Special Prosecutor for tanking the 1992 Bush campaign. (but that is for a later episode) But still, Perot went from being a potential winner to gargantuan nuisance. In this episode we look at Perot's dramatic reentry, and we preview the historic three way debates that would so captivate the nation bringing in big ratings over the next couple of weeks. We will let you hear one of them in its entirety too in our next episode.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Will a NY Federal Judge use his “inherent authority” to refuse to dismiss the indictment of Mayor Eric Adams as demanded by Trump and his DOJ, and instead appoint a Special Prosecutor of his own to investigate the corruption scandal that's engulfed the Trump Administration? Michael Popok takes a deep look at the unique circumstances present to allow Judge Ho to save the criminal justice system from a ethically challenged and corrupt Trump DOJ.

The Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Haruna Mohammed, has stated that the Office of the Special Prosecutor, commanded by Kissi Agyabeng, is not accountable for his duties. According to him, the majority of the special prosecutor's tasks do not follow constitutional examination, resulting in shallow obligations with no apparent legal foundation.

Send us a textIt is just days before the Republican National Convention and the campaign of George H. W. Bush is losing, badly. It appears unfocused and seems to be reacting to events instead of controlling them or leading them. The worsening economy has the argument for change being made by Bill Clinton stronger with each passing day. Finally, Ross Perot decided to withdraw and did so on the last night of the 1992 Democratic National Convention delivering for Governor Clinton an enormously huge audience to listen to his acceptance speech. One of the problems is that George Bush is without two of his most trusted political advisors. Lee Atwater, the native South Carolinian, who had helped guide Bush to the Presidency had died of brain cancer, and James Baker, his former campaign manager, had moved on to the job of Secretary of State. Bush needed them badly and he finally went to James Baker and asked him to take over the campaign for that final stretch. James Baker was, as James Carville once said of him, "the Joe Montana of American Politics" (Montana is a widely heralded Super Bowl MVP Quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers) Baker arrived in Washington D.C. when his friend George Bush had moved from Texas in the early 1970s.  He got a job working for President Gerald Ford in 1975. He then moved over and almost pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in political history moving Ford from 33% points down to only losing by one in 1976 to Jimmy Carter. He took Bush from an asterisk in the polls to almost wrestling away the 1980 nomination from Ronald Reagan, he then helped guide the Reagan Presidency in its first term, was Secretary of State to Bush as they soft landed the Cold War, and now Bush was calling him back in to pull off yet another miracle and get him re-elected to the Presidency. As you will see, it almost worked, if not for the Sinister forces of a Special Prosecutor. Here is the story of James Baker stepping back in to take over the 1992 campaign of George H. W. Bush, on the eve of the 1992 Republican National Convention.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

“Laughable" is how the Special Prosecutor's 4-paged Letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland described Trump's attacks on him and the investigation.   The letter is a parting shot at the former and future president. Jack Smith defended his conduct as fully lawful, free of partisan influence, and vital to the aspirations of the justice system.   "While we were not able to bring the cases we charged to trial, I believe the fact that our team stood up for the rule of law matters. I believe the example our team set for others to fight for justice without regard for the personal costs matters. The facts, as we uncovered them in our investigation and as set forth in my Report, matter," Smith wrote. Trump pleaded not guilty in 2023 to 40 criminal counts related to his handling of classified materials after leaving the White House, and later that year pleaded not guilty to separate charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor vows to safeguard the integrity of the December polls as it commences an investigation into the alleged vote-buying incident at Ayawaso West Wuogon during the special voting.

Guests:  Luke Nikas, partner in Quinn Emanuel's New York office and Quinn Emanuel associates Sarah Clark, Jennifer Stern, and Stephanie KelmanJohn is joined by four members of the trial team that obtained a dismissal of all charges in the recent New Mexico manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin.  Mr. Baldwin was charged by the State of New Mexico with involuntary manslaughter following the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the film Rust when a prop gun Mr. Baldwin was holding accidentally discharged.  They discuss the events of the tragic accident and the initial investigation by the District Attorney's office, which did not suggest any intent to charge Mr. Baldwin with a crime until about ten minutes before the press release announcing the manslaughter charges.  They also discuss the resignation and replacement of the first Special Prosecutor, the FBI's destruction of the gun while testing it and the prosecution's subsequent dismissal of charges without prejudice, only to suddenly refile the charges later.  Luke describes the team's pretrial motions to dismiss based upon the destruction of the gun, the withholding of evidence from the defense, and improper conduct by the prosecution before the grand jury.  On the question of why there was live ammunition on a movie set, a critical breakthrough came during trial when witnesses testified that a former law enforcement officer had informed the prosecution that he had stored live ammunition for the film's prop supplier. The testimony revealed that these live rounds were potentially mixed in with dummy rounds used to train actors on other movie sets, offering a plausible alternative explanation for the live bullets found on the Rust set.  The prosecution withheld this information from the defense before trial even though it cast doubt on the prosecution's theory that the film's young armorer was responsible for introducing live rounds to the set.  The judge, after learning that the concealed bullets matched the type used in the fatal shooting, ruled that the prosecution had failed to disclose critical evidence and dismissed the charges mid-trial due to prosecutorial misconduct. Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

He is a former Assistant Attorney General, White House Fellow and Florida Senator. As State Attorney, Aronberg leads a team of 115 prosecutors and 180 professional staff in five offices throughout Palm Beach County. Aronberg's leadership has led to high state rankings in conviction rates for both felonies and misdemeanors, a decrease in the number of juveniles direct filed into adult court, and a greatly improved working relationship with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies. In 2016, he created a Sober Homes Task Force that has made more than 120 arrests for patient brokering and insurance fraud in the rehab industry, and has led to several new Florida laws and regulations that have become the model for other states. Aronberg's efforts also convinced Google to restrict advertisements and improve screening for addiction treatment.  The crackdown in rogue sober homes and corrupted drug treatment contributed to a 14% decrease in opioid-caused deaths in Palm Beach County in 2021, compared to the previous year. Dave Aronberg was born in Miami. He attended public schools before going on to graduate with honors from Harvard College and Harvard Law School. After graduation, he worked in the litigation department of a large South Florida law firm while also working closely with Insurance Commissioner Bill Nelson to investigate European insurance companies that refused to honor World War II-era policies sold to victims of the Holocaust. In 2000, Aronberg was selected to be one of 15 White House Fellows from across the country. In this nonpartisan position, he served in two presidential administrations as a Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury Department for international money laundering, including the laundering of terrorist assets. Dave Aronberg was elected to the State Senate in 2002 as its youngest member and served until 2010. Focusing on criminal justice and consumer protection issues, Aronberg passed major identity theft and port security legislation and served as the Chairman of the Military Affairs and Domestic Security Committee. He also served as Chair of the Everglades Restoration Committee, where he advocated for accelerating water storage projects and additional State and Federal support for Florida's “River of Grass.” In 2010, Aronberg returned to the Florida Attorney General's Office as a Special Prosecutor for Prescription Drug Trafficking. In his role as the Attorney General's “Drug Czar,” Aronberg led an anti-pill mill initiative that helped clean up the pain clinic industry and reduced the record number of people dying each day from oxycodone abuse.  His work to save lives from drug overdoses continues as a top priority to this day. Aronberg frequently appears on national television as a legal commentator. He has a passion to speak out on criminal justice issues, adding transparency to our legal system.

Journalists covering cartel activities in Mexico face extreme dangers, making the country one of the most perilous places in the world for media workers. The risks include threats, violence, and even murder, often from both drug cartels and corrupt public officials colluding with them..The situation is dire due to the high level of impunity; only a small fraction of crimes against journalists are investigated, and even fewer lead to convictions. Between 2010 and now, out of 105 investigations into journalist killings by the federal Special Prosecutor for Crimes Against Freedom of Expression (FEADLE), only six have resulted in homicide convictions. This lack of accountability has led many journalists to self-censor to protect themselves and their families.Journalists under threat can seek protection through federal and state mechanisms that provide security measures like bodyguards and panic buttons. However, these mechanisms are often underfunded, poorly coordinated, and fail to provide adequate protection. For instance, nine journalists have been killed while enrolled in the federal protection program. Additionally, the government sometimes exacerbates the danger by publicly discrediting and harassing critical journalists.Overall, the combination of direct threats from organized crime, insufficient protection, and government hostility creates a hazardous environment for journalists in Mexico, severely impacting press freedom and the ability to report on critical issues.(commercial at 13:00)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Alec Baldwin's legal team has indicated plans to sue Santa Fe Sheriff Adan Mendoza and prosecutor Kari Morrissey after it was revealed they withheld critical evidence during Baldwin's trial for the on-set shooting death of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. In preservation notices obtained by Rolling Stone, Baldwin's attorneys warned both Mendoza and Morrissey of “future litigation” due to their actions during the involuntary manslaughter trial. The notices require both parties to “preserve all relevant information” including “devices, hard drives, emails, text messages, and other electronic communications” related to the case. This encompasses “all communications between and among anyone at the Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office, the First Judicial District Attorney's Office, and/or the Special Prosecutor's Office related to the Incident,” as well as all “documents, communications, and information referencing or relating to Mr. Baldwin.” The notices also caution that failure to comply could result in “serious consequences, including civil liability, court sanctions, and adverse evidentiary inferences in any subsequent proceeding.” In a surprising turn of events, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer dismissed Baldwin's case, citing the Santa Fe Sheriff's Office and Morrissey's failure to disclose key evidence regarding the source of the live round that killed Hutchins on October 21, 2021. Hutchins was fatally shot while preparing for a scene inside the Bonanza Creek Ranch in New Mexico. Baldwin was practicing a cross draw with a pistol when it accidentally discharged, striking Hutchins fatally and injuring director Joel Souza. Baldwin, aged 66, along with the film's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, faced involuntary manslaughter charges for the incident. Gutierrez-Reed, found guilty in a separate trial, was sentenced to 18 months in prison in March. Following the dismissal of Baldwin's case, her legal team is seeking to overturn her conviction, citing similar prosecutorial misconduct. In a motion filed Tuesday, attorney Jason Bowles asserted that substantial evidence, undisclosed before the trial, had come to light. Bowles has also requested that Gutierrez-Reed be released from prison and called for the removal of special prosecutor Kari Morrissey due to alleged misconduct. District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies has continued to support Morrissey despite these allegations. Though Baldwin's criminal charges have been dismissed, he is not entirely free of legal battles. Civil lawsuits from Hutchins' family remain pending. Gloria Allred, representing Hutchins' parents and sister, emphasized that the judge's decision to dismiss the case does not exonerate Baldwin. “The judge's decision is in no way, shape, or form an exoneration of him,” Allred stated. “It does not change the fact that Alec Baldwin killed Halyna Hutchins on the set of 'Rust.' He fired a loaded gun while pointing it at a human being.” At a press conference on Saturday, Allred reiterated her commitment to seeking justice for Hutchins, vowing “to fight to the end for Halyna Hutchins.” Despite the case dismissal, the ongoing civil litigation ensures that Baldwin remains entangled in the legal ramifications of the tragic shooting on the “Rust” film set.

Trump's VP announcement may happen tonight. Mark interviews Comic Jim Breuer: Mark and Jim talked about labels the media puts on anyone they disagree with.

Special Prosecutor Erlinda Ocampo Johnson began her opening statements by presenting her case against Alec Baldwin, alleging recklessness on the set of the film "Rust." Johnson's argument centered on Baldwin's failure to adhere to basic firearm safety protocols and his mishandling of the weapon that led to the tragic death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.  "The evidence will show that someone who played make-believe with a real gun and violated the cardinal rules of firearm safety is the defendant, Alexander Baldwin," Johnson stated. She informed the jury that Baldwin had requested the "biggest gun" available for the movie and that the firearm was sold to the "Rust" set in "perfect" working order. Johnson emphasized Baldwin's repeated failure to conduct safety checks with the on-set armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, even citing footage of Baldwin during safety training "running around, shooting his gun."  Johnson described the critical day Hutchins was shot, highlighting Baldwin's failure to perform a safety check. "You will learn that one of the rounds in that revolver was a real round, and the evidence will show that Ms. Gutierrez then handed the gun to the defendant," Johnson said. "And what you will learn is that, once again, the defendant failed to do a gun safety check with this armorer."     Despite Baldwin's emphatic claim that he did not pull the trigger, the prosecution insisted this was not true. Johnson asserted that video footage would show Baldwin using the firearm on set multiple times without any mechanical issues. Additionally, forensic experts from the FBI confirmed the gun's functionality through multiple tests. In contrast, Baldwin's defense, led by attorney Alex Spiro, argued that Baldwin committed no crime. Spiro shifted the focus to how a live bullet ended up on the "Rust" set, stating there was no evidence Baldwin was involved in this mishap or violated gun safety rules. "He was an actor, acting, playing the role of Harland Rust," Spiro said. He explained that the rules of gun safety are different on a movie set, where actors can act in ways that are otherwise dangerous in real life.    The defense played the scene from the church where Hutchins was shot, showing Baldwin as Harland Rust being approached by two men pointing guns at him. Spiro described the "Rust" set as relaxed and reassured the jury that Baldwin's gun was deemed "cold" multiple times. "No one had any idea that this venomous, toxic element had been inserted into this magic they were creating," Spiro stated. He placed the blame on the armorer and David Hall, the first assistant director, who was ultimately responsible for on-set safety. Spiro highlighted the division of responsibility on a movie set, arguing that Baldwin's role was to act, not to ensure gun safety. He stressed that Baldwin had no knowledge of the live bullet in the gun. "On a movie set, you're allowed to pull the trigger, so even if he intentionally pulled the trigger, that doesn't make him guilty of homicide," Spiro told the jury.   The first witness, Santa Fe Police officer Nicholas LeFleur, testified about the chaotic aftermath of the shooting. LeFleur, the first law enforcement officer on the scene, expressed concerns about witnesses speaking to each other, potentially tainting their statements. He described setting up a crime scene perimeter and instructing Baldwin not to speak to others. However, footage showed Baldwin speaking about the incident, raising questions about whether he defied police orders. Spiro's cross-examination of LeFleur focused on procedural mistakes, with the officer admitting that "hindsight is 20/20." Baldwin's defense continued to challenge the state's narrative, emphasizing the absence of clear evidence that Baldwin was responsible for the live bullet's presence on set.

"And what you will learn is that, once again, the defendant failed to do a gun safety check with this armorer."     Despite Baldwin's emphatic claim that he did not pull the trigger, the prosecution insisted this was not true. Johnson asserted that video footage would show Baldwin using the firearm on set multiple times without any mechanical issues. Additionally, forensic experts from the FBI confirmed the gun's functionality through multiple tests. In contrast, Baldwin's defense, led by attorney Alex Spiro, argued that Baldwin committed no crime. Spiro shifted the focus to how a live bullet ended up on the "Rust" set, stating there was no evidence Baldwin was involved in this mishap or violated gun safety rules. "He was an actor, acting, playing the role of Harland Rust," Spiro said. He explained that the rules of gun safety are different on a movie set, where actors can act in ways that are otherwise dangerous in real life.    The defense played the scene from the church where Hutchins was shot, showing Baldwin as Harland Rust being approached by two men pointing guns at him. Spiro described the "Rust" set as relaxed and reassured the jury that Baldwin's gun was deemed "cold" multiple times. "No one had any idea that this venomous, toxic element had been inserted into this magic they were creating," Spiro stated. He placed the blame on the armorer and David Hall, the first assistant director, who was ultimately responsible for on-set safety. Spiro highlighted the division of responsibility on a movie set, arguing that Baldwin's role was to act, not to ensure gun safety. He stressed that Baldwin had no knowledge of the live bullet in the gun. "On a movie set, you're allowed to pull the trigger, so even if he intentionally pulled the trigger, that doesn't make him guilty of homicide," Spiro told the jury.   The first witness, Santa Fe Police officer Nicholas LeFleur, testified about the chaotic aftermath of the shooting. LeFleur, the first law enforcement officer on the scene, expressed concerns about witnesses speaking to each other, potentially tainting their statements. He described setting up a crime scene perimeter and instructing Baldwin not to speak to others. However, footage showed Baldwin speaking about the incident, raising questions about whether he defied police orders. Spiro's cross-examination of LeFleur focused on procedural mistakes, with the officer admitting that "hindsight is 20/20." Baldwin's defense continued to challenge the state's narrative, emphasizing the absence of clear evidence that Baldwin was responsible for the live bullet's presence on set.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 210: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: It's over. If President Biden and his campaign team and his party discipline team can handle Trump and the electorate and the news conferences and the debates as efficiently as they have turned around the effort to push him off the ticket, they are going to win the election in a landslide. You never say it's over, especially not with Biden headed for a news conference tomorrow as the NATO summit in Washington concludes in which literally two bad answers or one REALLY bad answer could end his candidacy before noon on Friday. But for now, and skipping for a moment the obviously larger question over whether this signals the start of democracy's going out of business sale… it… is… over. Final score: Number of Democrats in the House who called for him to step down, on the record… SEVEN. Number of Democrats in the Senate who called for him to step down, on the record… NONE. Number of ex-presidents who called for him to step down… NONE. Number of historians he loves who called for him to step down…NONE. Number of former Speakers of the House who reportedly told friends in private she's deeply uneasy with his continued candidacy and of whom a Biden confidante said "He would listen reluctantly, but he'd listen to her”who called for him to step down… NONE. Semafor News asked an attendee, off the record, if the mood was comparable to that at a funeral. The answer? “That is an insult to funerals.” Now there's just one problem in all this and I think you already know what it is. The only problem it solves is the one Joe Biden had, or has. Out here on the going-out-of-business sale floor, the President is suddenly losing Wisconsin by five, and the Cook Political report just moved Arizona and Georgia and Nevada from Toss-Up to Lean Trump; and just moved Minnesota, Nebraska-Second, and New Hampshire from Likely Biden to Lean Biden. And the Biden Campaign seems to think this is over, rather than permanent. They will find out otherwise tomorrow night when he gets parsed at that press conference like he was a newly-found Dead Sea Scroll.

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with new details we are learning about Donald Trump's efforts to hide the classified documents he took and refused to return--and you will never believe the absurd, new claim they are making to distract from that damning evidence. Plus, Joy interviews former special prosecutor Nathan Wade on the Trump Georgia election interference case, the attacks from Trump, and Wade's former relationship with DA Fani Willis, which forced his resignation. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

On today's podcast with Michael Moore, Mike answers the burning questions surrounding the disappearance of the Princess of Wales and then dumps a bucket of ice water on us so we can wake up and finally admit the Central Truths we didn't want to acknowledge in 2016: A. Trump is smarter than us. If you don't think so,. then stop right now and tell me how YOU could get elected President while sexually assaulting women (then bragging about it); lying about your worth in order to defraud banks and not pay your taxes; and ordering state officials to stuff a ballot box with 11,780 nonexistent votes for you. He may be an idiot and a bigot, but he's also an evil genius (with the emphasis on genius).  B. Trump has never been convicted of a crime, has never spent a single night in jail. How delusional do we have to be to believe that after a 50+ year career of Trump committing one perfect crime after another that suddenly now his unbroken streak of evading the law is going to come to an end?! C. The Special Prosecutor will not save us. Fani Willis will not save us. The Trump-appointed Bankers Boxes judge will not save us. The electoral college will definitely not save us. Joe Biden's campaign staff will not save us. Stormy Daniels will not save us.  The only ones who can save us is ourselves.  Are you ready?

SERIES 2 EPISODE 128: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: I think this fraudulent FBI 'whistleblower' who was arrested after confessing to making up the Hunter Biden story - Alexander Smirnov - the one who admitted the story was being spread by people connected to Russian intelligence?  I think he's flipping. I think there is one thin reed of evidence supporting what I admit is a hunch. Maybe a second one. More importantly, maybe, I think this man David Weiss who was - until Smirnov's story collapsed - the Special Counsel PROSECUTING Hunter Biden, has also flipped, and now intends to prosecute everybody who turned him into a Russian stooge, two steps removed. And I think he and Smirnov are going to take down at least the scum on the lower levels of the Russian Ring in this country (more likely the Russian operatives themselves, maybe James Comer, but just possibly running up the ladder to Jordan and Sean Hannity and, please God, Trump). But we're going to need a new Special Prosecutor to round all of the big names up. And a Senate Judiciary investigation on how this sack of crap was turned into the prosecution of the president's son, and the attempted impeachment of the sitting president. In an election year. At the direction of Vladimir Putin. We've been invaded again. And the Russians didn't need to shoot or bomb their way in here. Because all the Comers and Greenes and Jordans and Grassleys and Hannitys and Trumps just opened the doors for them. And may they burn in hell for doing so. Because I think Smirnov is flipping. B-Block (26:25) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: The Republicans select a California banker as their Wisconsin Senate candidate who's so non-Wisconsinian that in his introductory commercial he never SAYS which state he's running in.
