Summary
Trump's Kristen Welker walkoff, the Cities Church ruling, Thomas Crooks, H1B fraud, and the jobs report headline today's A.M. Update. Trump drops his mic and walks off an NBC News interview after Kristen Welker pushes California election fraud questions, and Aaron asks the obvious follow-up: if the press is that dishonest, why keep giving them the interviews. New Judicial Watch documents reveal Thomas Matthew Crooks exchanged emails with a Butler County sheriff's deputy before the July 2024 assassination attempt, and a remote device with an antenna was found in his pocket. St. Paul City Attorney Irene Kao declines to file state charges against the anti-ICE protesters who stormed Cities Church in January, and lead pastor Jonathan Parnell asks his mayor directly whether evangelical Christians are included in her commitment to the city. A blowout May jobs report of 172,000 new payrolls sends markets tumbling as investors price in a Fed rate hike, with the S&P 500 posting its worst day since October. Kayleigh McEnany airs an H1B visa fraud report on Fox News that Aaron says you would never have seen there ten years ago, and Aaron closes with Jeff Bezos on why compromise is not truth-seeking and what that actually means outside the boardroom.
