Episode Details

Jon Herold digs deep into Andrew McCabe's own memoir to fill in the timeline on how Sessions told him he'd be acting FBI director just a day before McCabe's team opened its investigation into Sessions, then pairs that with old Trump tweets questioning Sessions' recusal to build out his running theory on the weaponized intelligence community.

He also breaks down newly released Fauci text messages showing private concern about miscarriage risk from COVID vaccination during pregnancy, contrasted with the public messaging insisting there were no red flags, tying it to Trump's new vaccine transparency executive order. Other topics include a Tucker Carlson led Hunter Biden "redemption tour" Jon finds frustratingly unchallenged, a Syrian court sentencing Bashar Assad to death in absentia, and new reporting on Trump's secret military jet exit from Turkey amid an assassination threat. Sponsor reads and a lively chat session round out a dense Tuesday show.
