Summary

Military officer and former Speaker of the Parliament of Iran, Ali Larijani, was killed in the war against Iran yesterday. Former Director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent has resigned from his position in response to President Trump’s actions against Iran, where he is allegedly upset that Israel has emerged as the primary beneficiary of the conflict. Meanwhile, reporters covering the Nancy Guthrie case have begun leaving Arizona, where she resided, and a petition has been launched to remove the sheriff who handled her case. Mark takes your calls! Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Liz makes the case for why the Fed should seriously consider lowering interest rates, noting that current inflation numbers may not support maintaining the current rates. She also points out that very few voices on the right are pushing back on the SAVE Act, and argues that the best political strategy for Republicans is to advance legislation that roughly 80 percent of the country already supports, putting Democrats on the defensive.
