Joe Oltmann Untamed | Mark Cook | The Circus | 04.21.26

Joe exposes the multifaceted "political circus" currently reshaping the American landscape, beginning with a provocative look at systemic election vulnerabilities. The program highlights a recently declassified 2020 National Intelligence Council memo and reports of over 17,000 ballots cast by deceased voters in Michigan to argue that the system is broken at all levels. By connecting these voting irregularities to broader themes of institutional decay ranging from corrupt judiciaries to the indoctrination of the school system the episode hammers that the resulting social chaos is a calculated distraction designed to protect a "criminal cartel" operating within Washington, D.C.Next a deep dive into election integrity and cyber-security with subject matter expert Mark Cook. The discussion pivots between the push for universal mail-in voting, championed by figures like John Hickenlooper, and the real-world technical failures observed in Lubbock, Texas, where officials were forced to revert to hand-marked paper ballots. Cook provides an "Emergency Notice" to Colorado voters, analyzing the tension between state-mandated voting methods and the growing grassroots demand for transparency and hand-counted results. This technical analysis is juxtaposed with reports of "influence operations" run by foreign intelligence veterans, suggesting a sophisticated layer of psychological warfare aimed at targeting the American public.Joe examines the cultural and legal "test runs" occurring at the state level that challenge national sovereignty and traditional values. From Minnesota’s felony prosecution of ICE agents to the refusal of 29 states to share voter data with federal agencies, the narrative paints a picture of a fractured union where local governments are increasingly at odds with the will of the people. Joe concludes by highlighting the "truth bombs" of activists confronting city councils, acts of defiance as the necessary antidote to a system that uses accusations of hate speech to silence dissent and maintain its grip on power.Please check out Joe’s Givesendgo at: https://www.givesendgo.com/JoeOltmannhttps://untamednation.com/Make sure to check out https://honorboundusa.com for all your Untamed Nation merch needs!Go to honorboundusa.com to get FREE TINA stickers and use Promo Code “FREETINA” for 20% off!Go to https://DCFguns.com and use Promo Code UNTAMEDNATION for 5% OFF Byrna ProductsProtect your family from hackers by going to https://sns.pidoxa.com NOWText UNTAMED to 89517 to get notified when we go live!Text/Data rates may apply.
