Summary

This morning, Don breaks down the latest updates on the rapidly expanding crisis in the Middle East. As U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iran continue, regional retaliation spreads, and world powers grapple with what may be a long, costly conflict with no clear end in sight. We’ll talk about how this is already affecting American lives, from rising fuel prices at the pump to economic ripple effects and global instability, and what might come next as tensions escalate day by day. Then, we’ll shift gears to take a look at today’s major political news from Texas: James Talarico has won the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate race, emerging victorious over Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett in a closely watched contest that could reshape statewide politics this November. Can he flip a long-Republican seat in the general election? We’ll break down what this win means and what lies ahead. This episode is brought to you by Incogni.
