## Resource

Jon Herold kicks off Vegas conference week digging into the fallout from Joe DiGenova's resignation from the Fort Pierce grand jury investigation, reporting new CNN details about an apparent clash with Todd Blanche over a denied secure facility request, and connecting it to his broader theory that Blanche may not be the white hat everyone assumes. He spends the back half of the show unpacking Trump's fiery response to AI leaders (including Anthropic's Dario Amodei) calling for stronger regulation, drawing a detailed parallel to COVID era institutional panic and floating a theory that AI companies might be slowing public facing development while pursuing it privately or for the military. Other topics include a viral 60 Minutes segment on alleged "pardon brokers," a major NSA restructuring effort, and Trump's latest defense of the proposed $5,000 dividend. Sponsor reads, fantasy football trash talk, and plenty of live chat banter round out a newsy Monday show.
