Bolton Pleads Guilty | NIH Scientists Smuggled Monkeypox | AOTMA | 6/5/26
from The A.M. Update
John Bolton, Vincent Munster, Claude Kwe, Karmelo Anthony, and the war powers resolution headline today's A.M. Update. Trump blasts House Republicans for passing a war powers resolution mid-Iran negotiations, but Aaron floats a take he cannot shake: the vote might actually be Trump's exit ramp out of a deal that was never going to happen. John Bolton pleads guilty to one count of retaining national security information and agrees to $2.25 million in restitution, and Aaron questions whether that counts as the scalp DOJ's critics were hoping for. Two NIH researchers, Vincent Munster and Claude Kwe, are charged with smuggling 113 vials of monkeypox through Detroit Metro Airport after lying to customs agents, and Brooke Rollins confirms a new world screwworm detection in Zavala County, Texas. YouTuber Jesse Ridgeway announces he and his wife terminated their pregnancy after a Down syndrome diagnosis, and Aaron does not pull punches. The AOTMA segment covers a listener's plans to create a crisis Bible for the suicidal, nuclear family month spreading to Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas, the two-tiered justice system, SNAP cards being used at fast food restaurants in Michigan, and a candid update on the show's distribution struggles.
