Summary

Aaron McIntire breaks down President Trump's bold declaration of victory over Iran following intense U.S. and Israeli strikes, including massive target counts and oil reserve coordination to stabilize energy markets. We examine the ongoing risks in the Strait of Hormuz, Hezbollah's rocket barrages on northern Israel turning it into a two-front conflict, and fresh Israeli Air Force operations hitting IRGC sites deep inside Iran. Domestically, Trump doubles down on pushing the Save America Act through despite Senate Republican resistance and filibuster drama, while the latest CPI data shows inflation holding steady—but still well above the Fed's target. Plus listener reactions to our poll on Iran's future trajectory, rare pilot radio exchanges, and what it all means for the week ahead.

the name you'd like, sir. I said, the name of what?
