Summary
First, Jim and Greg celebrate the end of TSA forcing air travelers to take off their shoes while going through security screening. The policy dates back to one terrorist trying to set off explosive in his shoes in 2001 and since then we've been dealing with the annoyance of having to wander through TSA checkpoints in our socks or even barefoot.
Next, they react to President Trump acting offended that a reporter would ask questions about Jeffrey Epstein just two days after the Justice Department announced there was no client list and the case was effectively closed. Attorney General Pam Bondi then glossed over the question about whether Epstein was somehow connected to U.S. or foreign intelligence agencies. Greg says it's vital that we get a complete, honest answer on that question.
Finally, they discuss reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unilaterally paused military aid to Ukraine and failed to inform President Trump. Jim credits Trump again for restoring the assistance but wonders how and why Hegseth would make such a move without consulting or at least informing the president.

| 0:50.7 | Thanks so much to Craig Collins for filling in for me the last several days. No, I was not abducted. No, I did not go off the grid as some people were wondering on social media. Great time with family, friends, different sites. My youngest daughter loves Abraham Lincoln. So we got all the way out to Springfield, Illinois, to see a really good tour of the house, a great museum out there. His tomb is spectacular. So if you're |

| 1:23.5 | gas prices are in Ohio. But if you live in Pennsylvania, you have a scandal on gas prices on your |
| 1:32.8 | hands. I don't know if it's taxes or what it is. But Pennsylvania, yes, it was turnpike gas |
| 1:37.1 | prices, but so same thing in Ohio and interstate gas prices elsewhere. Pennsylvania people are |
| 1:42.2 | paying well over $3.5 a gallon for a gallon of gas. And that's |
| 1:46.8 | way more. I was paying less than $3 in Ohio and Michigan is right around three. So I don't know |
