Podcast appearances and mentions of Jay Clayton

CannCon and Ghost open the final show before GART week in Deadwood with a Tuesday packed with stories that connect in ways most people are not seeing. An AP investigation with a named whistleblower reveals the DEA knowingly allowed 74,000 fentanyl pills to flood New Mexico between 2023 and 2025 to catch bigger fish while running the "one pill can kill" public campaign at the same time. Bill Pulte walks into ODNI and CNN immediately runs a smear piece while Letitia James attacks his qualifications despite simultaneously backing Jay Clayton, who has identical gaps in intelligence experience. Ghost and CannCon apply the white hat versus black hat framework and explain why neither applies: incentive-based leverage is how this operation actually works. A federal judge blocks the SAVE database cross-referencing Social Security and citizenship data, and CannCon asks the only relevant question: who issues your Social Security number and who determines citizenship status? In geopolitics, Ghost delivers a layered breakdown of Colombia's contested election, tracing the Alex Saab connection to De La Espriella, the Smartmatic globalist pivot of 2014, and why Hispanic neocon Republicans are backing a Maduro ally while publicly opposing Maduro. A viral JD Vance Qatar slight gets debunked with the full video.

CannCon and Chris Paul close out the week on Juneteenth with a show that covers geopolitics, the courts, and an intelligence battle playing out in real time. JD Vance holds a press conference confirming the Iran MOU is producing results: 12.5 million barrels moved through the Strait of Hormuz the prior night, gas prices dropping below $4, and Iran honoring the agreement for the second night running. CannCon and Chris walk through Vance's pointed message to Israeli cabinet members attacking the deal and his revelation that the US has been funding Lebanon's internal security forces, the ones tasked with rooting out Israeli spy networks. The Supreme Court rules unanimously that the federal government cannot broadly ban marijuana users from owning firearms, with both the ACLU and NRA on the same side. Bill Pulte walks into DNI headquarters and reportedly arrives eyeing hundreds of firings, as Trump simultaneously cancels the Jay Clayton hearing and demands Jamie McDonald be confirmed for SDNY first. Steve Bannon says the quiet part out loud: Pulte knows exactly where Tulsi's election fraud files are. Mark Warner accidentally admits communication companies will keep working with intelligence agencies even after 702 lapsed. Chris Paul closes with his most complete analysis yet of the Tucker-JD Vance-Massey coordinated post-MAGA op.

Today - John discusses Trump's wishy washy flip flopping on selecting Jay Clayton as his nominee to serve as the Director of National Intelligence. But then, the confirmation hearing was abruptly canceled after Trump ordered him not to appear before the Senate unless they pass the voter purge bill AKA the SAVE Act. He also talks about the details of the Memorandum of Understanding between Iran and the United States - which were released late in the day, confirming to many that this Great Deal is indeed worse than the JCPOA. Then, Bob Cesca returns and they chat about the redistricting efforts in Georgia and the challenges faced by progressive movements in today's climate. Next, John welcomes back author Brad Meltzer, and they talk about his latest kids book called "Ordinary People Change The World Series: I Am Teddy Roosevelt". Then winding it up, Desimber Rose and Dillon Naber Cruz AKA The God Squad joins the show to speak with listeners and explore the intersection of politics and religion.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jon Herold and Burning Bright break down the freshly signed US and Iran memorandum of understanding line by line, covering the naval blockade removal, troop withdrawals, the Strait of Hormuz reopening, the $300 billion reconstruction investment that is not a loan from American taxpayers, full sanctions termination, and the nuclear enrichment compromise that allows Iran a civilian program. Burning Bright pulls up his own June 2025 prediction that Trump would eventually allow enrichment, vindicated almost word for word a year later, and the guys walk through what that means for anyone who took Trump's no enrichment rhetoric at face value. They apply their long running inverted premise framework, asking whether Trump has actually been waging war with Israel against Iran rather than the reverse, and how that flips the entire reading of who won this deal. The DNI chaos gets its own segment: Jay Clayton's nomination abruptly canceled, Bill Pulte staying on as acting director, and the argument that Trump deliberately attached unpopular riders to tank both FISA 702 and the Save America Act. New reporting suggests the Presidential Intelligence Advisory Board under Devin Nunez, not Tulsi Gabbard, may be the real source of the upcoming election declassification, possibly timed to Trump's June 24 DC rally.

On Thursday's Washington Times Front Page: President Trump forced Senate Republicans into postponing Director of National Intelligence nominee Jay Clayton's confirmation hearing in a convoluted effort to push his election integrity bill, the Justice Department is suing the city of Evanston, Illinois, to stop a reparations program for Black residents who say they were hurt by housing discrimination, and more.

June 17, 2026; 4pm: Nicolle Wallace and friends cover Trump's pending deal to end the war with Iran. The Memorandum of Understanding, which was released today, says that Iran would be provided with $300 billion for its reconstruction and economic development. The memorandum also says that Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program – which was the main reason why the U.S. went to war with Iran in the first place. Later, Nicolle discusses the news that Trump has cancelled the scheduled nomination hearing of Jay Claton as DNI in a bid to force Congress to act on his voter ID bill, which currently does not have the votes to pass.

It's Hump Day on The Majority Report On today's program: JD Vance talks to Megyn Kelly why the whole Memorandum of Understanding has not been released, citing certain cultural sensitivities in the region without explaining what that means. The war hawks are not happy with the leaked sections of the Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. and Iran. Former Vice President Mike Pence says on CNN that the preliminary language "smacks of appeasement". Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends shares the same sentiment as Pence but he refuses to criticize the president, insisting to his audience that this is Vance's deal. Dylan Gyauch-Lewis, senior researcher at the Revolving Door Project, joins to talk about her piece in The American Prospect: "New Documents Detail Nine-Figure, Silicon Valley–Funded Abundance Movement." Gil Duran, publisher of the Nerd Reich newsletter, joins to discuss John O'Farrell a former partner at Andreessen Horowitz who recently quit the VC firm over their prioritizing of AI hype over the common good. You can preorder Gil's book "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley's Fascism and the War on Democracy" here. In the Fun Half: As Trump's facilities sunset he is having a hard time keeping his inside thoughts inside. At the G7 conference in France, the president couldn't stop talking about world leaders in an erotic fashion. Trump swooned over India's PM Modi's stunning beauty and recounted the time he met Egyptian president el-Sisi in a hotel and fell deeply in love. Trump post another screed to Truth Social, announcing the cancelation of Jay Clayton's U.S Attorney nomination hearing today and the Bill Pulte will remain acting head of DNI. Trump's nominee to head the Office of Management and Budget, Hal Duncan, recites the script and refuses to admit that Joe Biden won the 2020 election but of course freely acknowledges that Trump won the 2024 election. The GOP primary winner for senate in Georgia, Mike Collins, kicks off his campaign by attacking incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff for voting in support of trans rights, much to the ambivalence of the small audience. DSA backed candidate for mayor of Washington D.C., Janeese Lewis George appears to be headed for victory in the democratic primary. On June 11, Trump threatened to have a federal takeover of D.C. is she wins and evidentially that was the best thing to happen to George's campaign. All that and more.

Some members of Congress had hoped to fast-track the confirmation of President Trump's pick for director of national intelligence. But early Wednesday morning, Trump threw a wrench in those plans when he posted to social media that his nominee, Jay Clayton, would not be showing up for his confirmation hearing due to Trump's ongoing dispute with lawmakers. Former Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair weighs in. Then, earlier this month, the government sold the Washington, D.C. building that once housed one of the Trump family's hotels. The Wall Street Journal's Craig Karmin joins us to discuss the $80 million sale. And, a major climate polluter might get a break from the EPA after its founder gave millions to President Trump's campaign.

President Donald Trump is expected to speak later this morning, likely touting the Iran agreement. This comes after Bloomberg published an unconfirmed draft of the memorandum that raises some serious questions. Later today, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will preside over his first Open Market Committee meeting, where news will likely paint a less than peachy vision of high inflation rates. Speaking of peaches, Georgia's runoff results mean a Rep. Mike Collins v. Sen. Jon Ossoff showdown come November. And finally, Jay Clayton heads to a confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, less than a week after lawmakers formally received his nomination to serve as director of national intelligence.

President Donald Trump in a concluding news conference at the G7 Summit in France says if Iran does not follow the agreement it will sign with the U.S. on Friday, the U.S. will resume bombing Iran; Senate confirmation hearing for Director of National Intelligence nominee Jay Clayton is postponed after President Trump prevents the nominee from testifying. Confirmation of a new DNI was expected to clear the way for Senate Democrats to support a reauthorization of a foreign surveillance tool as the Democrats opposed the president's Acting DNI Bill Pulte. Now the president says he will support the foreign spying power only if a bill to require ID to register to vote is attached, and Bill Pulte will stay as Acting DNI; Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady in the first meeting under new Chair Kevin Warsh, and announces new task forces, including on data sources the Fed considers in its decisions and how the Fed communicates with the public. We will hear from the Chair and talk with Wall Street Journal economics reporter Matt Grossman (20); Senate committee holds a confirmation hearing for nominees to lead the Transportation Security Administration and Federal Emergency Management Agency and to be Deputy Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget; in Campaign 2026, President Trump gets a split decision in Georgia.

President Donald Trump is holding a news conference on the final day of the G7 summit in France.Trump said Wednesday's Senate hearing on Jay Clayton's nomination to become the next U.S. intel chief was canceled and would not go forward until James McDonald is confirmed as a U.S. attorney.

Jon Herold comes in Wednesday with a guest and a document to dig through. Tech investor Matthew McDonough joins to make the case that energy, not labor, is now the central lever controlling global power, framing the Strait of Hormuz blockade and the Iran conflict as moves in a larger energy dominance struggle against China. Jon then reads through the full leaked 14-point US-Iran memorandum of understanding line by line: the naval blockade lifts immediately, Iran gets its own frozen money back rather than new American cash, a $300 billion rehabilitation fund comes structured as financing rather than a gift, and Israel is conspicuously absent from the entire agreement. Trump's overnight Truth Social move gets its own breakdown: canceling Jay Clayton's DNI confirmation hearing in apparent retaliation after Democrats reneged on a FISA deal, which keeps Bill Pulte in place and ties FISA's fate to the Save America Act. Jon also shares word from a well-connected source that Tulsi Gabbard's promised 2020 election report is likely delayed past her departure, possibly surfacing around a rumored June 24 event. Gavin Newsom's lawyers sent Todd Blanche a letter calling the DOJ probe into him a fishing expedition.

Trump folded on nominating neophyte Bill Pulte to be the head of national intelligence, but has made matters worse by naming a golf buddy who was the former head of his criminal defense appeal law firm, with 0 Intelligence Community experience, to be the Nation's spymaster to keep us safe.

President Trump said a potential deal to end Iran war is close, but skeptics say it could be another false start. Aamer Madhani of the Associated Press breaks down what’s different this time. Voters in Switzerland head to the polls Sunday to decide whether their country should cap its population at 10 million. The New Yorker’s Jessi Jezewska Stevens joins to discuss how the vote could transform the Swiss economy and its relationship with the E.U. The Supreme Court’s conservative majority is leaning hard into originalism, the idea that the Constitution means what it meant when it was written. The Wall Street Journal’s James Romoser explains how that’s affecting some of the term’s most consequential cases. Plus, Trump nominated U.S. attorney Jay Clayton as DNI, El Niño has officially begun, and how a deep run by the U.S. men’s soccer team in the World Cup could bring the country together. Today’s episode was hosted by Gideon Resnick.

After President Trump names Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence, the House fails to reauthorize the Section 702 surveillance program. What are the risks of letting that intelligence go dark? And now that Jay Clayton has been nominated for the permanent DNI job, how quickly will the Senate move to confirm?

Today's Headlines: SpaceX went public today raising $75 billion at a $1.77 trillion valuation, making Elon Musk humanity's first trillionaire. Moving on, Trump spent Thursday morning threatening to seize Iran's main oil hub Kharg Island, then hours later cancelled strikes because Iran "approved a draft agreement" to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and begin 60 days of nuclear negotiations — except Iran's own state media reported no agreement had been approved and that "the Americans kept changing their positions," though the stock market had its best day in two months anyway because the concept of a deal is apparently enough for Wall Street. In voter suppression news, the USPS quietly changed its rules to require states to hand over voter lists for anyone requesting mail-in ballots, with 23 states suing to stop it and the first judge already declining to block it, because of course they did. Trump dropped Bill Pulte as acting DNI after even Republicans said no, replacing him with Jay Clayton — Manhattan US Attorney, former SEC chair, and someone with no intelligence experience but a strong track record of loyalty to Trump. The DOJ is subpoenaing JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo to investigate alleged "debanking" of conservatives, with the primary evidence being that Trump lost his bank accounts after January 6th, and a DOJ staffer working on Traitor Fund legislation quietly asked to recuse himself because he was planning to file a claim from the same fund he's helping write. In Trump shenanigans news, his birthday UFC cage fight is set up on the White House lawn — with rain in the forecast — and workers will operate 20 hours a day year-round to build his gold arch in DC by the end of his term. And finally, Vance Boelter, the Minnesota man who posed as a police officer and murdered the Democratic speaker of Minnesota's state house, her husband, and their dog, pleaded guilty and received two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years.
