in Manhattan." Uh, you know, it, it really was, honestly up until the Cincinnati game, it was a Disney Channel original movie.

It was, uh, something that you could only write, you know, i- in, in fiction, right? Because he came to K State, he was a Heisman finalist.

He won the Big 12.

His record as a starting quarterback, I, I'm, I'm trying to go b- I think it was 24 and 4, I think, as a starting quarterback.

Uh, he set the, you know, uh, career rushing touchdown record.

For the younger Cougar fans or maybe Cougar fans who haven't followed the K State program as closely, give us the quick overview o- of how in two seasons Michael Bishop became truly one of the most legendary Wildcat football players.

Is that the reason for the distancing here a little bit to try and attack affordability? Because we know that's exactly what President Trump did to win the election last And that was a major part of his campaigning to win the White House.

Based on what we see in the polling, we know that's true.

We know that unequivocally voters are most concerned about affordability and they don't believe people in power, political power and business power, are doing enough about it or doing anything about it.

So we know that from the polling.

But I like to read where the campaign literature is, where the campaign ads are and where the money is going.

And the campaign ads, the campaign literature and the money are all going towards making an argument about affordability, gas prices, food prices, fertilizer prices, healthcare prices, college and housing prices.

And that means they're seeing internal numbers inside these campaigns that show they don't believe the voters are satisfied with how their government is handling affordability.

And then two, I was not surprised by this one, but that you had all the media outlets kind of coming together and saying, you know what, then we're going to come together and nobody's going to do the pool to cover you on TV.

How is that going over in Republican circles? Is he sort of always the guy who maybe pushes against the administration and his own party in instances like this?

He is always the guy pushing against his own party, pushing against the administration.

He has made a career of it.

He's been doing this long before Trump came along.

He's been the contrarian Republican.

It's just a different type of Republicans than those you may think.

see locally or you hear on cable news.

Does the timing of this have a potential impact on these elections, Scott, at all? Or is it just the news of the day and we're on to something else when we get to tomorrow?

What was your initial response? Ed Martin was

also a January 6th defense lawyer, and he was appointed to be the U.S. attorney on Inauguration Day, the day all the pardons went down.

And he helped complete consummate all the pardons by clearing the records out of the docket.

And then he fired a bunch of people who were part of the January 6th prosecutions because they took the assignment given to them and executed it.

One of the fired attorneys who was let go during Ed Martin's reign said he was Shakespearean because he was part comedy, dark comedy, part tragedy comedy because he had like a gimmick where he wore a trench coat like he was some type of Bond villain.

Oh, my God.

As he did as part of his functioning as a government employee.

Bowl of cereal is the way

But why should the American people be concerned about this idea of the loss of the chain of custody of ballots?

to Mark Warner, who has the Senate version of Jim Himes' job, top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, who says this was an unequivocal attempt to screw with the 2026 elections.

The speech was.

And yes, the chain of custody is a critical component of that, as Jacqueline would tell you.

That is the fundamental underwriting to confidence in the ballots, that we know where they were, we know where they are.

And the electronic machines lie.

That one stuck with me.

My kids are going to be so

Mm

... uh, in the community to the 4-H. We're, uh, obviously a nonprofit.

Um, and we have, uh, one of the purposes for meeting with the 4-H was to get our volunteers of the students who help us with parking and, and various, um, other duties, details.

Um, it's not just plants, though.

We also have, uh, gift baskets that we put together, some of them focused on Mother's Day or other events.

Uh, again, m- members of the club put these together as volunteers.

We purchase things to put these baskets together, and it...

Whoa.

And you've got to nominate him because he's the only reasonably competent person you could put at DOJ.

What Tom Tillis said over the weekend, Katie, seemed to soften the ground ahead of him becoming a yes.

Totally agree with Jake.

It seems like things are falling in line here.

What Tom Tillis said is he is satisfied about Todd Blanch's answers on January 6th.

Even though Todd Blanch has been an apologist for January 6th defendants and championed the pardons, he satisfied Tom Tillis on that issue.

The wedge issue does remain the slush fund.

Are those debates being had in Congress right now? Right now?

It's a sham.

That phrase, presumption of regularity, sounds benign, right? Sounds garden variety.

That is such a scathing thing to say, that the courts and they function as a court system on the presumption of regularity, that everybody in there is a officer of the court, doing due diligence, being truthful, honest, and frank with the court system, John Brennan is saying is it can't be trusted.

They can't be trusted.

And I'll tell you what, judges have shown their distrust in this Department of Justice in just the last few weeks.

I'll get to that in a moment.

But this court filing, the one Luke just quoted, is as subtle as a sledgehammer to the ribs.

Get ready to play.
