Summary
Jon Herold spends "Post Disclosure Day" digging through the freshly declassified documents behind Trump's primetime speech, arguing the paperwork itself is far more damning than how Trump actually described it on stage. He walks through claims that China stole 220 million voter files, worked with Venezuela style tactics to manipulate machines, produced fraudulent driver's licenses for ineligible voters, and pressured US companies and journalists through financial leverage. Jon also digs into leaked intelligence community emails suggesting analysts deliberately downplayed or suppressed China related findings from President Trump's daily briefings, plus a striking Michigan voter registration fraud statistic. He shares mainstream media reaction to the speech, plugs his new Substack series compiling the documents, and previews more coverage on tomorrow's Power Hour. Sponsor reads and some lively chat interaction round out a document heavy Friday show.
