Mason

What do you make of that? Well, what I make of it is there's something else going on that they didn't tell us.

So over the weekend, you had Nick Shortor, who's a reporter, independent journalist, and Ryan Amacher, a couple of independent journalists, who posted a piece of audio that alleges to have Ryan Amacher calling a mental health facility in Mason, Ohio, the Lindner Hope Center or something like that.

And it purports to be him calling there saying that he's a family member of Talarico and wants to send him a care package or something.

And the woman says, "We have nobody by that name here." Other people online have been saying, "Well, private jets g- went from Austin to, to the part of Ohio where this place is," and that can be so.

Doesn't mean that it's, that it's James Talarico.

But it became very interesting listening to this audio where the woman says, "Well, I don't really have any record of that," and then puts the guy on hold for a couple of minutes, comes back and says, "Uh, I, I don't, I don't see that in my c- in, in my records." And then he pushes a little bit more and she says, "Oh, well, it, it looks like he was already, already discharged." And Amacher says, "Well, wait a second.

Talarico was discharged from the mental health facility in Mason, Ohio?" He actually says a different name in Ohio, and she says, "No, no, we're in Mason." He says, "Okay, so, so he was there, but he was discharged?" She goes, "Uh-huh." Now, they both reported that.

I went online, did a video saying, "This is what they're reporting.

Now, after that, total radio silence in the final month of a high-stakes campaign.

And this is when inside sources supposedly tipped off conservative commentators like Nick Shortor, Ryan Amacher, Sarah Gonzalez, and Carolyn Ren that Talarico had secretly checked into a psychiatric facility called the Lindner Center of Hope in Mason, Ohio.

And Ryan then released his call log, along with the audio that we just played you, which, by the way, guys, is several different phone calls over the course of what appears to be a day.

Uh, and this allegedly, right, is a series of calls with Lindner's front desk in which a staff member stated that Talarico had in fact been discharged from their facility.

An even more extreme meltdown took place over the weekend as MAGA tried to insist that Texas Democratic candidate James Talarico had suffered a mental breakdown and had been admitted to a treatment facility in Ohio.

As Will Sommer and Andrew Egger of The Bulwark explained yesterday, MAGA influencers Nick Sorter and Rain Amacher claimed they had proof that Talarico had been at the Lindner Center of Hope in Mason, Ohio.

They claimed they had a tape of a Lindner employee telling them over the phone that Talarico had just been released.

With Musk pushing it, Sorter's social media post alleging that proof garnered millions of views within hours.

With Ken tweeting on Saturday, "James Talarico claims he was missing for 13 days because of the flu.

Who actually believes that?" And then with that, the conspiracy theory that you saw really take off was the one centering around the Lindner Center of HOPE in Mason, Ohio.

You had that boosted by the likes of reality star and failed LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, and naturally, Megyn Kelly.

Truly, we need proof of life.
