Lance Twiggs Cannot Be Compelled to Testify

Charlie’s “Freedom” Shirt Disappears. Another Witness Recal… · Jun 24, 2026 Government

Tyler Robinson's defense asked to cross-examine Lance Twiggs — the man whose recorded statement and alleged discovery of a handwritten confession form the backbone of the prosecution. Judge Graf denied it. A recorded statement from a man living out of state, who has never been held for questioning, will now be the basis for keeping Robinson in prison through his trial.

Where this was said

Lance Twiggs will not be compelled to show up to the preliminary hearing

At 27:00 · chapter starts 24:45

News broke that Judge Graf denied the defense's request to compel Lance Twiggs — whose recorded statement and alleged discovery of a handwritten confession are the pillars of the prosecution's case — to appear at the July 6th preliminary hearing. The defense had argued this was fundamental hearsay: the prosecution plans to play a recording of Twiggs making accusations Robinson cannot cross-examine. The judge ruled the preliminary hearing's purpose is not to adjudicate guilt but to determine if enough evidence exists to proceed, and that the recorded statement clears that bar. Candace is unambiguous: this is a show trial. She walks listeners through the absurdity of the scenario — being held in prison on a murder charge where the accusing witness lives out of state, has never been questioned by the FBI, and whose text printouts and handwritten note (since destroyed) the defense cannot authenticate. The segment ends with Candace promising to watch the hearing live despite being on vacation.

A second witness has now confirmed that Erika Kirk personally managed model apartments on the Upper East Side for underage Eastern European girls shuffled through Cates's agency — and TPUSA has never responded to the allegation.

Fei-Fei Li went back to Stanford from Google in 2018 specifically to build a multi-stakeholder governance framework for AI. Her argument: market forces are not societal norms. Just as biology uses IRBs and cars have safety laws, AI needs layered oversight from educators, governments, and the public — not just a few industry titans.

Surveillance vs. Privacy: The Fulcrum We Need to Find

The Surveillance Economy, and How Capitalism Can Fix Poverty · Aug 10, 2026 Government

Mass surveillance is here to stay. The real battle isn't stopping cameras — it's ensuring judges and laws keep that data out of family court and civil disputes, admitting it only for violent crimes and national security. The surveillance economy currently yields more upside than downside, but only if we build the legal guardrails now.

Northern Europe Isn't Socialist — It's Capitalism Done Right

The Surveillance Economy, and How Capitalism Can Fix Poverty · Aug 10, 2026 Government

When people cite Scandinavia as proof socialism works, Galloway says they've got it backwards. Northern Europe runs highly competitive free-market economies with more competition in many sectors than the US — they just make sure taxes are actually paid and redistributed. Billionaires and universal healthcare can coexist.

How to Fix the UK in Four Moves

“We’re At The Beginning Of A Revolution” - Jimmy Carr - #11… · Aug 10, 2026 Government

Two percent adjustments to income tax and stamp duty tweaks are deck-chair rearrangements. The UK's competitiveness hinges on four structural levers: currency valuation, energy costs, regulatory burden, and tax rates. Devalue the pound, build 56 nuclear plants, slash red tape, introduce a flat tax — and the country transforms.

Lisbon Solved Its Drug Crisis — Then Forgot Why

“We’re At The Beginning Of A Revolution” - Jimmy Carr - #11… · Aug 10, 2026 Government

Lisbon had one of Europe's worst heroin crises. Then Portugal legalised drugs and redirected all enforcement money into rehabilitation and housing. Crime collapsed. Addiction fell. Then politics moved the money elsewhere, and the problem started creeping back. Chesterton's Fence: you forget why you were spending that money.
