Episode Details

Jon Herold, fresh off the Badlands Vegas conference, shares highlights from the "man on the street" interviews before diving into the escalating fight between the Trump White House and mainstream media over CNN, MSNBC, and Politico being banned from the press pool. He digs into the resulting lawsuits and Fox News' own internal debate about whether it deserves press access, argues the entire press pool system is compromised regardless of outlet, and replays an old personal video where he publicly requested a one on one interview with Trump. Other topics include a cryptic "something's coming" teaser video from the White House that Jon is skeptical will amount to much given the pattern of past teasers, a Truth Social post from Trump defending AI development against Democrat opposition, and some fun personal stories from the trip. Sponsor reads, upcoming St. Pete Florida conference details, and a lively chat session round out a catch up heavy Monday show.
