Episode Details

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open the Saturday show with Tulsi Gabbard's bio lab declassification, which both hosts dismiss as a limited hangout repeating information that has been public since 2021 and 2022. They float a more interesting possibility: that the real declassification work may be coming from the Presidential Intelligence Advisory Board under Devin Nunez rather than the DNI's office at all. The Iran situation gets its full theater treatment, with Trump's True Social posts about a peace deal timed to his birthday, an Apache helicopter shoot down, and the familiar self defense strikes framing, alongside the coordinated takeout of a Tren de Aragua leader in Venezuela. Spencer Pratt's concession video gets dissected for what it reveals about the LA mayoral race, paired with Steve Hilton's bizarre campaign ad and the voter ID ballot measure backed by Palmer Luckey, the Winklevoss twins, and Nicole Shanahan. The new NSPM 12 cybersecurity directive gets connected to last week's AI memo and the breaking news that the Trump administration imposed export controls on Anthropic's new Fable model over jailbreak concerns. The show closes with a New York Times excerpt detailing the White House's yearlong Situation Room scramble over the Epstein files.
