After 20+ years behind the mic, I'll say it plainly: radio is still the most direct line from a team to its fans. It's in the car, on the job site, on the tractor. No paywall, no login, just a voice painting the picture. Baseball was built for that, and it still is. The game in its purest form.

The James Talarico story is a perfect example of something I’ve been talking about for years. 🇺🇸🚨 This is how political disinformation works. You take a tiny piece of actual truth, in this case a politician disappearing from public appearances because he was reportedly sick with the flu, and you wrap it in a fucking conspiracy theory. Suddenly he’s not sick anymore. He’s supposedly having a mental breakdown, hiding in a psychiatric facility, and lying to the public. Then the influencers jump on it, amplify it, exaggerate it, and before anyone even establishes what actually happened, millions of people are exposed to a story presented as fact. Nick Sortor and others promoted allegations about Talarico supposedly being treated at a mental health facility in Ohio, based partly on a recording that hasn’t been independently authenticated. His campaign denied it. But here’s what fascinates me about this entire fucking circus. These people have been doing this for years. One small piece of truth, nine pieces of speculation, and suddenly they have a massive political scandal. Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, Candace Owens, even Elon Musk and countless others have built audiences in an environment where accusations travel faster than corrections. And I keep wondering about something. What if somebody deliberately fed these people a story designed to exploit their own habits? What if someone knew exactly how they would react, knew they would amplify it without sufficient verification, and simply waited for the whole thing to collapse? I’m not saying that’s what Talarico’s campaign did. I have absolutely no evidence of that. I’m asking because the mechanism is so fucking predictable. You barely have to push anymore. Give the right influencers a suspicious detail that confirms what they already want to believe, and they’ll do the rest themselves. The disturbing part isn’t simply that people believe conspiracy theories. It’s that an entire information ecosystem can turn uncertainty into certainty within hours, while millions of people watch. And even when a claim falls apart, the damage is already done. How many of those people ever see the correction? How many even care?

Representative James Talarico has never received treatment from Lindner Center of Hope.
