Badlands Daily: 7/3/26 - FBI Wired Newsom's Circle, Fulton County Surge, MK Ultra Evolved

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week and the runup to America's 250th with a discussion-heavy Friday. The New York Post reveals the FBI had Democrat insider Alexis Podesta wearing a wire inside Gavin Newsom's inner circle since June 2024, and CannCon connects it back to Alpha's "tickling the wire" prediction, noting the huge implications for both Newsom's presidential hopes and the California governor's race. The FBI assigns 260 analysts to a priority Fulton County 2020 election investigation under Kash Patel, and CannCon walks through why investigating enough jurisdictions establishes the systemic pattern even if every election cannot be checked. Mitch McConnell was found unconscious in his home, deepening the illegitimate Congress theme. Chris Paul opens the show with a sharp meditation on how sports are exporting human judgment to machines we wrongly assume are objective, and where that leads for adjudicating crimes. The back half turns cultural: a viral Trump derangement meltdown over an AI Teddy Roosevelt hologram, Jodie Foster saying F1 was written by AI, the CIA funding Jackson Pollock, USAID's apparent role in propping up rap music, and a lengthy MK Ultra segment on Sidney Gottlieb and why the program never actually ended.
