Jurors deciding the fate of Lori Vallow Daybell, the Idaho mom accused of killing her two children and fifth husband’s first wife, on Tuesday heard a jailhouse phone call between the accused murderer and her surviving son.

The call, which was recorded in 2020 between Vallow Daybell and her oldest son Colby Ryan from her first marriage, involved accusations from Colby that his mother killed his siblings.

“You murdered my siblings!” Colby said, according to Insider. “I thought I could trust you, I thought that you were a completely different person.”

“I’m sorry you feel that way,” Vallow Daybell replied.

Colby also told Vallow Daybell that he wished he could bash her husband, Chad Daybell, “in the face with a shovel.”

Chad Daybell faces trial later this year for the murder of Vallow Daybell’s daughter Tylee and her adopted son J.J., as well as his ex-wife Tammy.

Vallow Daybell also said during the call that “Tylee and J.J., they know exactly what happened,” adding: “They love me and we will be together forever.”

Colby began yelling at his mother about her husband, Chad, who wrote apocalyptic novels.

“Chad Daybell came into your life and everything changed,” Colby could be heard shouting. “Why are you following Chad Daybell down the rabbit hole?”

Colby took the stand on Tuesday to testify against his mother, telling the jury about Vallow Daybell’s insurance policies on her ex-husbands Joseph Ryan (Colby and Tylee’s father), and Charles Vallow, who was reportedly shot to death by Vallow Daybell’s deceased brother, who claimed self-defense. Colby also testified that he received messages from his younger sister after she disappeared. The messages, he said, didn’t sound like they were from Tylee.

On the jailhouse phone call, Colby mentioned those messages and expressed his feelings to his mother.

“I was deceived and I was broken by my own mother,” he said, according to Insider. “I can’t tell you the amount of pain I have felt.”

“I feel like I could die,” Colby added. “You ripped my heart out.”

Vallow Daybell was once a traditional Mormon, but after meeting Chad, the Idaho mother’s religious views became dark and disturbing, according to Melanie Gibb, a former friend of Vallow Daybell. She testified last week that Lori believed people fell within a scale ranging from “light” to “dark,” who either “signed contracts” with Jesus Christ or Satan.

Vallow Daybell told Gibb in September 2019 that her son had become “dark,” Gibb testified, according to People Magazine. Vallow Daybell reportedly told Gibb that Tylee had become “dark” earlier in the year.

“She let me know that J.J. now had an evil spirit in him,” Gibb testified on Thursday. “She learned it the day before.”

Just two months after Vallow Daybell said J.J. had gone “dark,” the children disappeared and were never seen alive again.

Gibb also testified that Vallow Daybell told her J.J., who was autistic, had become more “difficult” and had allegedly said “I love Satan.”

Lori and Chad are both charged with murdering Vallow Daybell’s children as well as Chad’s ex-wife Tammy.

The pair was charged on May 25, 2021, but the trial is just getting started, 12 News reported. Fremont County Prosecuting Attorney Lindsey Blake opened the state’s case by saying it was all about “money, power, and sex” for Vallow.

European lawmakers reached a deal Tuesday on a semiconductor stimulus bill meant as an answer to the CHIPS and Science Act, a similar package enacted in the United States that prioritized domestic semiconductor firms.

The European Chips Act will mobilize some $47 billion of public and private investments into semiconductors such that the European Union composes 20% of the worldwide market by 2030. The legislation would allocate funds to develop technological capabilities, foster talent in microelectronics, and build partnerships with like-minded nations.

“Semiconductors are at the centre of strong geostrategic interests, and of the global technological race,” the European Commission said in a statement. “Chips are the essential building blocks of digital and digitised products. From smartphones and cars, through critical applications and infrastructures for healthcare, energy, defence, communications and industrial automation, chips are central to the modern digital economy.”

Western incentives for the semiconductor industry come as a response to the reality that China, South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan control nearly 80% of global semiconductor manufacturing capacity, according to data from the Brookings Institution, while Taiwanese firm TSMC alone produces over 90% of the sophisticated chips used in cell phones and computers. A reliable supply of semiconductors is necessary to develop artificial intelligence and weapons technologies, as well as mitigate risks over supply chain disruptions that could emerge from Chinese geopolitical ambitions toward Taiwan.

European leaders have criticized the CHIPS and Science Act, which authorizes nearly $53 billion in manufacturing incentives for semiconductor operations in the United States, for favoring domestic firms. French President Emmanuel Macron, for instance, said the law promotes a protectionist approach toward global trade and risks “fragmenting the West,” as noted by a report from the Center for European Policy Analysis.

Initial negotiations over the European Chips Act last year prompted Intel, an American multinational corporation headquartered in California, to announce a $36 billion investment into a research hub in France and a manufacturing facility in Germany. The advancement of the European Chips Act this week could prompt additional semiconductor investments in Europe from companies based in the United States.

The CHIPS and Science Act has meanwhile attracted significant investments from both domestic and international firms: Micron announced a $100 billion memory chip initiative in New York, and TSMC devoted $40 billion toward new facilities in Arizona. Several companies had issued “public warnings” last summer vowing to “scale back their plans to make semiconductors” in the United States since lawmakers had stalled in negotiations over the new incentives, according to a report from the Department of Commerce.

European and American lawmakers have also traded blows over the Inflation Reduction Act, another $369 billion package from the United States which subsidized American electric vehicle manufacturers and neglected to offer the same benefits to European automakers. West Virginia Democratic Senator Joe Manchin told European officials at the World Economic Forum that the law was “designed to basically strengthen the United States so that we can help our allies and friends, which need it right now.” He also called the continent’s leaders “hyper-hypocritical” given the several decades in which they advanced their own protectionist measures.
