## Resource

Jon Herold and Chris Paul kick off with midterm convention takeaways before Herold recaps some heated online fights he got into this week over the tariff dividend proposal. From there they dig into Joe DiGenova stepping away from the RICO grand conspiracy case in Florida, a development the guys clearly think deserves more attention than it's getting. There's also a stretch on the AI race and what they see as an operation forming around it, plus the usual mailbag style rundown of superchats and viewer comments covering everything from debt policy pushback to a North Dakota State football shoutout. An Aaron Rodgers clip closes things out if time allows, giving the episode a lighter final note after a fairly dense couple of hours.
