Katie HerzogHOST
Amacher, that, "I and Talarico had in fact been a patient at the Lindner Center of HOPE near Cincinnati, Ohio, which specializes in around-the-clock mental health treatment."
Jesse SingalHOST
And, and then he ends it with just this, like, utterly bullshit bit.
Jesse SingalHOST
He goes, "While I sympathize with those dealing [laughs] with mental health crises-
Mark DavisHOST
But I thought, "This, this guy seems like he has a story to tell," and I have curiosity as to how this even arose.
Mark DavisHOST
So the young man who called this Lindner Center of HOPE and went through this back and forth with the employee, or the employee ostensibly...
Mark DavisHOST
I mean, was that fake? Was it AI? Was that a real person? We'll ask because at 8:35, Ryne Amacker joins us.
Mark DavisHOST
So I'm grateful.
Jordan BermanHOST
The following day, a former fundraiser for President Trump, Caroline Wren, posted flight tracking information that showed a private plane.
Jordan BermanHOST
had flown from Austin, Texas to an airport in Hamilton, Ohio, which she pointed out was about 20 minutes from a psychiatric hospital called the Lindner Center of Hope.
Jordan BermanHOST
But Wren did not share any other evidence that connected Tallarico to that specific plane.
Jordan BermanHOST
But the piece of evidence that really kind of made this rumor viral was this phone call that a to the Lindner Center.
Jordan BermanHOST
So obviously, as you heard in that clip, the woman on the phone seems to say that someone with the name Tallarico had been discharged earlier that night.
Jordan BermanHOST
However, after and I should note that that call was made on the night of October 10th.
Jordan BermanHOST
However, after that recording was posted, the Lindner Center itself then issued a statement saying, quote, Representative James Tallarico has never received treatment from the Lindner Center of Hope, end quote.
Jordan BermanHOST
Tallarico reposted that statement and wrote, quote, I've never even been to Ohio, end quote.
Chas LicciardelloHOST
Some very journalistic language there.
Chas LicciardelloHOST
Following reporting by da, da, da, da, da, a hospital employee told Ryan Amacher and I that Tallarico had in fact been a patient at the Lindner Center of HOPE near Cincinnati, Ohio, which specializes in around the clock mental health treatment.
Chas LicciardelloHOST
You can tell just how high Sorto's journalistic standards are, that he pretends the hospital spoke to him as well.
Melina WicksHOST
Mm-hmm [laughs].
Chas LicciardelloHOST
But we'll come back to that.
Chas LicciardelloHOST
Most importantly, though, the Lindner Center entered the picture, and they explicitly denied the story, tweeting out, "Rep.
Chas LicciardelloHOST
James Tallarico has never received treatment from Lindner, from Lindner Center of HOPE." So they didn't just say, "No comment, we c- we can't, we c- we..." Like, the call isn't true or something.
Chas LicciardelloHOST
They just said he has flat out never been there.
Alex PearlmanHOST
giant poster that he created that is tagged as being made with AI, where he writes, correction, the claim that James Tallarico received treatment in an Ohio mental health facility was false.
Alex PearlmanHOST
The Lindner Center of Hope says he has never received treatment there.
Alex PearlmanHOST
His documented public appearances in Texas also contradict the alleged timeline.
Alex PearlmanHOST
The earlier claim is retracted.
Miles GrayHOST
And then posted a huge graphic that says, correction, the claim that James Tallarico received treatment at an Ohio mental health facility was false.
Miles GrayHOST
The Lindner Center of Hope says he has never received treatment there.
Miles GrayHOST
His documented public appearances in Texas also contradict the alleged timeline.
Miles GrayHOST
The earlier claim is retracted.
Howard KurtzHOST
Elon Musk elevated a false conspiracy theory about, uh, Democrat James Talarico over the weekend, lifting a fringe claim concerning the Texan's, uh, mental health to the forefront of users X feeds, where it garnered hundreds of thousands of impressions.
Howard KurtzHOST
"The Talarico campaign is hiding something big that voters ought to know about," Musk wrote, replying to a post that Talarico had been checked into the Lindner Center of Hope, a mental health facility, uh, while he was off the trail.
Howard KurtzHOST
Musk's reply amassed over 870,000 viewers.
Howard KurtzHOST
The theory had been circulating online for days, fueled by Talarico's absence from the campaign trail, which his team has said was due to the flu.
Howard KurtzHOST
Uh, Ken Paxton promoted a Talar freakout tip line on Friday.
Howard KurtzHOST
President Trump weighed in, argued the Democrat's convalescence was too long to be the flu bug.
Howard KurtzHOST
"So James Talarico has never received treatment from the Lindner Center of Hope," the facility wrote in a statement five hours after Musk's post.
Howard KurtzHOST
Talarico said he had never even been to Ohio with a laughing emoji.
Travis ViewHOST
And then on top of that, on October 11th, the facility made a pretty definitive statement.
Julian FeeldHOST
Representative James Talarico has never received treatment from Lindner Center of Hope.
Travis ViewHOST
So that said.
Travis ViewHOST
Never, never received treatment.
Todd HuffHOST
And on Sunday, audio surfaced that appears to show he was briefly a patient at a mental health facility in Ohio.
Todd HuffHOST
In the recording released by Nick Sortor and Ryne Amacher, a woman who identifies herself as an employee of the Lindner Center of Hope in Ohio says Talarico had recently been discharged.
Todd HuffHOST
Screenshots of Amacher's phone show that he did indeed call the Lindner Center.
Todd HuffHOST
The Talarico campaign naturally denies all of it.
Trish ReganHOST
This is from the Lindner Center.
Trish ReganHOST
They issued this shortly after that recording came out saying, James Tallarico has never received treatment from Lindner Center of Hope.
Trish ReganHOST
Okay, but you know, the internet sleuths are back at it.
Trish ReganHOST
And by the way, this is the problem.
