Steve and the crew agree that we're starting to get into some unclear territory when it comes to the Iran operation, and the administration needs to start articulating what the plan is. Then, Del Bigtree from the HighWire joins the program to update the crew on the latest in the world of MAHA and what's next. In Hour Two, the team plays a game of Buy, Sell, or Hold. Daniel Horowitz joins the show for his weekly message of woe and lamentation.

Short takes cover intra‑right divisions, how Vance could appeal to both skeptics and loyalists, and what upcoming midterms and policy fights mean for future positioning.

Steve details what he believes the White House's real strategy is with the SAVE America Act, and it might not have anything to do with actually getting it passed (but could help Republicans in the midterms). Then, Scott Schara joins the program to detail his harrowing personal story of the medical-industrial complex and his new book, "Is the Government Legally Killing Us?" In Hour Two, it's the conclusion of the two-week Theology Thursday feedback series on the book of Romans.
