Summary

CannCon and Alpha Warrior open with the White House dropping aliens.gov, a page that reads like a Project Bluebeam reveal for the first three paragraphs before the punchline lands. Trump trolled the country into reading about illegal immigration like it was a Roswell disclosure. The guys then run the hypothetical every Badlander has been waiting for: if a little gray man rings your doorbell, what is the legal definition of homicide actually say? Spoiler, an alien is not a person. From there the show takes a hard turn into Alpha's cop archive. The viral Palm Beach County deputy who said "right hand" and could not let it go. The Texas traffic stop with the blind driver and the paraplegic passenger. The professional cornhole player with no arms who shot his passenger. Alpha walks through the Cub Swanson stop, the Timothy Bradley four AM jog, why cops touch the trunk of your car, and the racist old Mexican man who tried to claim Alpha called him a slur until the recording dropped. They close on CannCon weighing whether to give up on California, Flock cameras, and the letter vs. spirit of the law.
