Devolution Power Hour Ep. 461: Carroll Indicted, Piker Subpoenaed, and Midterms Don't Matter

Jon Herold and Burning Bright are back together for the Wednesday show with a week's worth of movement to unpack. The DOJ launches a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll for perjury, and Burning Bright connects it to the SPLC indictment as part of a broader pattern: not just targeting individual liars, but exposing the funded NGO infrastructure that manufactured political narratives against Trump for a decade. Hassan Piker and Code Pink's Medea Benjamin both get subpoenaed for FARA violations tied to their Cuba trip, and Piker accidentally names billionaire Roy Singham, who lives in China, as one of their key funders on a live stream. Trump's "I don't care about the midterms" clip drops, and the guys explore what it means if the story the media tells about who wins in November is simply what Trump decides it will be. John Solomon's "hypersonic clarity" prediction from April 16 gets a timeline audit: missed by weeks and counting. Jill Biden surfaces claiming she had never seen Joe Biden like that at the debate, the same week he sued to block the Hur audio tapes. The Iran deal cycle continues, now sourced to CNN citing Iran's semi-official agency citing someone who heard explosions. Gavin Newsom threatens a 100% tax on anti-weaponization fund payouts to California residents.
