## Resource

James and Dani discuss why Clavicular has to kiss the wall in Jerusalem to be cleared to re-enter the nightclub scene in Miami. We unpack the latest twist involving Charlie Kirk and a threatening donor story that’s raising serious questions. From there, we dig into Turning Point USA finances—where the money comes from, where it goes, and why it matters—and take a closer look at Erika Kirk and her pile of mounting lies. Then we shift gears to what happened this weekend in Minneapolis with ICE and the protests, and ask: where do we go from here?
