Jon Herold records a pre-taped episode while traveling, opening with updates on his schedule and sponsors before diving into the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. He questions the fundraising tactics of TPUSA, noting the push for donations so soon after Kirk’s death feels exploitative, and warns against trauma-driven psyops that can herd people back into complacency. Jon reviews Trump’s recent Truth Social posts, from trade talks with China and a TikTok deal framework, to commentary on immigration, crime in D.C., and even football kickoff rules. He highlights Trump’s push to cut quarterly reporting, potential Supreme Court rulings, and the U.S.-UK nuclear power agreements set to roll out.
The episode also covers armed Marxist groups in Utah, Biden’s $20B green fund scandal, vaccine disclosures, and a Secret Service agent disciplined for celebrating Kirk’s murder. Closing with product plugs and reflections on cancel culture hypocrisy, Jon underscores the need for discernment, free speech, and resilience in navigating both tragedy and disinformation.
