## Resource

Jon Herold rolls into hump day with a lighter mood, opening with a shoutout to a fan painted portrait of his cat before diving into the noise around Trump's Air Force One travel plans and the speculation over why he's flying home the old fashioned way. He plays a few clips from the president's press gaggle, including some candid comments on assassination odds and the ongoing Iran conflict, then breaks down Trump's rocky NATO stop in Turkey and the fallout with allies like Spain and Denmark. There's a look at fresh DOJ action on noncitizen voting, a Nebraska lawsuit tied to overseas ballots, and another twist in the long running Seth Rich documents saga. Jon also works through a couple of sponsor segments and some good natured chat interaction along the way. It is a loose, conversational ride through a fairly newsy Wednesday.
