Summary

Democrats argue that President Trump’s war has driven up gas prices and that there is still no clear explanation for why the conflict with Iran began. President Trump maintains that the U.S. military is prepared to continue the campaign for weeks. Democrat John Fetterman is among those critical of the President’s actions against Iran. Legendary coach Lou Holtz passed away yesterday at the age of 89. Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Steve credits President Trump’s “drill baby drill” approach for strengthening America’s energy independence and reducing reliance on countries like Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, the U.S. and China are locked in a fierce competition to lead the global AI industry. Over $100 billion has been invested in AI by the United States in the last year alone. Will Governor Gavin Newsom’s “cap-and-invest” energy initiatives ultimately harm California's economy? Savannah Guthrie returned to New York City yesterday to The Today Show following the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for five weeks. Mark analyzes what this situation could mean for Savannah and her family. In Minnesota, $19 billion went missing due to fraud - where did the money end up? Governor Tim Walz addressed the issue yesterday, but his answers raised more questions. Gayle King has signed a new deal with CBS News. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. Iran is seeking new leadership after the U.S. deposed the ayatollah. There is talk of his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, succeeding him. Democrats continue to oppose President Trump’s actions, including the war in Iran, which Jimmy tries to make sense of.

You got the fake news doing their fake coverage. Now, what they do in fake news and Democrats collude with them, they always create a
0:56.8	false narrative and just drill that into your head. Now, two false narratives going on. If you
1:04.1	watched, for instance, ABC News last night, David Muir, you'd come away with the impression
1:10.4	this is war is a disaster. We're losing. It's over. We're wiped out. We're not doing well. This has got to be in the first, we're in day six now. In the first six days, it's got to be the most successful war ever in history, militarily. I mean, as far as how much we've taken out, how much we've wiped out, how much
1:28.8	we've been hit in return, the most successful war in history. Now, a lot of, a lot of that is
1:35.7	because the technology is so improved over the last few years. We're using all kinds of laser

1:59.7	So we've already hit 1,700 targets. Over 200 of Iran's ballistic
2:06.1	missile launchers have been destroyed. That's more than half of what the nation possessed. They used to be
2:12.2	able to fire 50 missiles at a time. Now it's two or three, and that's it. That's it. So we're doing very well.
2:20.8	If you were watching the ABC news last night or most of the media, you'd come away with
2:25.9	the oppression that it's a mess. We're in real trouble. We're losing. The other false narrative,
