Jon Herold returns from the closet studio in the Keys with another lively and layered episode dissecting the media frenzy surrounding Trump’s precision strikes on Iran. He questions whether the Pentagon truly destroyed all uranium targets, explores the strategic psyop angle of “low-confidence” briefings, and suggests it may have all been a trap to catch leakers inside the intelligence community. Jon highlights Peter Hegseth's fiery Pentagon takedown of legacy media, debates the polarizing Israel narrative, and shares clips showing Trump’s past frustrations with Netanyahu.
Other key stories include RFK Jr.’s decision to pull U.S. support from Gavi, vaccine coalitions bypassing oversight, the crypto mortgage update from the FHFA, and a major SCOTUS win for pro-life advocates. Jon also calls out the Senate parliamentarian for blocking parts of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” while mocking the media meltdown over Florida’s alligator-surrounded migrant facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” Packed with humor, frustration, and sharp cultural insight, this episode is a deep dive into the modern propaganda machine, government accountability (or lack thereof), and the ever-thinning veil over the regime’s collapsing narratives.
