Episode notes
Iran Strikes Show Tangible Progress
- Steve Deace frames recent strikes in Iran as verifiable progress, noting high-profile leaders like Ali Lariani have been eliminated.
- He contrasts this with pandemic metaphors, arguing military operations show observable results rather than indefinite shutdowns.
Ask Senators About The Real Filibuster
- Ask senators if they support reverting to a real filibuster rather than asking generically about the SAVE Act.
- Steve warns many will claim support for the bill while refusing the procedural change needed to pass it.
Showing Up Won Bondurant Library Fight
- Steve Deace credits a Bondurant, Iowa library victory to local men simply showing up, not to big funding or expert activism.
- He says mission precedes plan: presence and willingness to act triggered the board's cancellation of a book event.
