## Resource

Jon Herold comes in Friday expecting a relatively calm show and discovers live on air that Tulsi Gabbard has just resigned as DNI. Her husband Abraham has been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, her last day is June 30, and Erin Lucas, a CIA operations officer and former Grinnell chief of staff, will serve as acting director. Jon reads Trump's statement, looks up Lucas's background live, and gives an honest reaction: this matters, and we should not pretend it does not. New Fed chair Kevin Warsh is confirmed with his first meeting set for June 16, and Jon is watching for the Powell investigation to quietly reopen. Jon also spends real time on the viral Fox News mask story, demonstrates live that studio lighting creates neck shadows, and asks the one question nobody has answered: what was the motive? Then chat member Phil Scarborough calls in with first-hand documentation of the 2022 Hines County, Mississippi election: 21 missing precincts, missing thumb drives, twelve hours of chaos, a candidate who could not afford the audit, and a Democratic commissioner who went public saying the machines were used to steal his own race. New UFO files dropped from the Department of War and Jon is still not impressed.
