Joey Hudson, filling in for Mike, digs into the fallout from the Lindsay Clancy mistrial, including the more than $1.2 million raised for her parents and the growing debate over whether that kind of public support has gone too far. He examines the questions surrounding Clancy’s mental health defense, the possibility of a retrial, and her attorney’s unusual appeal to President Trump for a pardon. Joey also addresses the conspiracy theories targeting Clancy’s ex-husband and whether those spreading accusations could face defamation lawsuits. Then the conversation turns to the price of politics, as Joey breaks down the eye-popping costs of attending the GOP’s upcoming midterm gathering—including tens of thousands of dollars for access and photos with top Republican officials—and asks when fundraising crosses the line into excess.
