Jon Herold kicks off a packed episode reacting in real time to President Trump’s historic White House meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, including Saudi Arabia’s announcement that its U.S. investments will surge from $600 billion to $1 trillion. Jon breaks down the geopolitical significance, Trump’s banter with MBS, and why Ghost is probably passed out from excitement. From there he dives into the Cloudflare outage that briefly broke half the internet, the Bitcoin dip, and Trump’s comments on firing Jerome Powell, paired with Jon’s sharp concerns about who is actually holding Trump back. The Epstein files take center stage as Trump unloads on ABC, naming names like Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, Andrew Weissmann, and calling the whole thing a “Democrat hoax” designed to bury his $21 trillion economic announcement. Jon tracks Speaker Johnson’s excuses, House floor drama, and why the media keeps redirecting public attention away from real issues like housing, private equity, and the collapse of the American dream. With humor, blackmail jokes, existential dread, and a chiropractic outro, Jon guides listeners through a day of narrative warfare, congressional chaos, and economic reality checks.
