Major developments in both foreign policy and the future of Republican politics.

Donald Trump says any agreement with Iran will depend on securing what he calls a “good deal” for the United States. As negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program intensify, we break down the latest developments, the key sticking points, and what a potential agreement could mean for national security and energy prices.

Meanwhile, the 2028 presidential conversation is already heating up. A new survey from Emerson College Polling shows Marco Rubio surging to within a single percentage point of Vice President JD Vance among potential Republican presidential contenders. We examine the numbers and what they may signal about the future of the GOP.

And in a case that rocked the insurance industry, a North Carolina billionaire has been sentenced to 12 years in prison after being convicted of bribery and what federal prosecutors described as one of the largest insurance fraud schemes in history. The case impacted more than 2,000 insurance customers and involved billions of dollars. We’ll walk through the final chapter of this years-long legal battle.

A revealing new admission from Jill Biden is reigniting questions about the now-infamous 2024 debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

In a recent interview, Jill Biden says she feared her husband might have been “having a stroke” during the disastrous debate performance that stunned millions of Americans. Critics are now asking why the public is only hearing these concerns now — long after the election and months after widespread questions about President Biden’s health first surfaced.

Meanwhile, the national debate over transgender athletes in girls’ sports continues to intensify. As the Supreme Court of the United States appears poised to weigh in on a major West Virginia case, the transgender athlete at the center of the controversy just won a girls state championship in track and field — adding more fuel to an already heated national conversation about fairness in women’s sports.

And inside the evangelical world, a growing disagreement between Albert Mohler and Beth Moore is drawing attention to larger questions surrounding the role of women in church leadership and teaching.

Plus, new census data shows South Carolina now leads the nation in population growth. We’ll show you which communities are booming — and why so many Americans are relocating to the Palmetto State.

Another major political shakeup as Donald Trump continues to flex his influence inside the Republican Party.

In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton scored a major primary victory over longtime Senator John Cornyn in one of the most closely watched Republican races in the country. We break down what the results could mean for the future of the GOP and why Trump-backed candidates continue to dominate key primaries.

Meanwhile, redistricting battles are erupting across the country. A federal court blocked Alabama Republicans from implementing a congressional map designed to potentially give the GOP another seat in the U.S. House.

And here in South Carolina, the state Senate rejected a White House-backed effort to redraw congressional districts during a special session called by Governor Henry McMaster. In a dramatic 26-18 vote — including opposition from 14 Republicans — the proposal failed, effectively ending the push for now.

Add in record turnout during the first day of early voting, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most politically charged election seasons in years.

Major developments overseas and here at home as tensions continue to rise in the Middle East.

United States Central Command confirmed that U.S. forces carried out “self-defense strikes” in southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites and Iranian boats after threats against American forces. We break down what happened, why the strikes were ordered, and what this could mean for the region moving forward.

Meanwhile, Americans are already feeling the economic effects. According to reports, families were expected to spend nearly $2 billion more on gasoline this Memorial Day weekend compared to last year. With summer travel season underway, concerns are growing about what continued tensions with Iran could mean for fuel prices nationwide.

Back in South Carolina, the Senate has tentatively approved a White House-backed congressional map that could reshape the political landscape ahead of the midterm elections. A final vote could happen as early as today, even as early voting begins.

And joining us today is David Atchley, candidate for Congress in South Carolina’s 4th District. We discuss the possibility of the June 9 primary being pushed back to August and the issues voters are talking about on the campaign trail.

Another packed day of headlines — from rising tensions with Iran to taxpayer outrage over government spending.

Donald Trump says Iran will not be allowed to keep highly enriched uranium, creating what could become a major sticking point in ongoing peace negotiations. Pakistani mediators are reportedly pushing Tehran toward a deal, but questions remain about whether both sides are willing to compromise.

Meanwhile, the United States Department of Justice has charged 15 people in what prosecutors describe as a shocking $90 million fraud scheme tied to Minnesota nonprofit operations and government programs. The so-called “ringleader” connected to the Feeding Our Future scandal has now been sentenced.

And if you think Washington has a spending problem — just wait until you hear what’s inside the 2026 Congressional Pig Book. Millions in taxpayer-funded earmarks are raising eyebrows nationwide, including spending on feral hog management programs, theater renovations, and broadband projects critics say are already heavily funded. We break down some of the most eye-popping examples.

Back in South Carolina, the first day of Senate debate over congressional redistricting turned tense at times, with lawmakers facing growing pressure over deadlines as early voting approaches next week. Lt Governor Pamela Evette checks in with us too on her latest take on redistricting.

Big developments today both overseas and here at home.

Oil prices dropped sharply after Donald Trump announced that negotiations with Iran are in their “final stages” and that a peace agreement could be close. We break down what this could mean for global energy markets, inflation, and gas prices for American families.

Meanwhile, a report from the New York Post is raising fresh concerns about aging leadership in Washington, highlighting lawmakers accused of struggling with serious cognitive and health issues while remaining in office.

And what started as a fight inside a Chipotle Mexican Grill in Washington, D.C., has now become a national debate over youth crime, parenting, and public safety. Jeanine Pirro says parents may soon face prosecution if their children participate in violent “teen takeover” incidents that have been spreading in parts of the nation’s capital.

Plus, Luke Rankin joins us with the latest update on South Carolina’s congressional redistricting battle as the Senate takes up the House-passed map proposal.

Another big night for the MAGA movement as Donald Trump scored a series of victories in targeted Republican primaries — victories many see as a preview of what could happen nationwide heading into the midterm elections.

But it wasn’t all wins for the president.

A Republican senator criticized by Trump joined Senate Democrats in advancing a war powers resolution aimed at limiting presidential authority in the conflict involving Iran. We break down the growing divide inside the GOP over military action and foreign policy.

Meanwhile, while much of the attention has focused on Republican challengers to Lindsey Graham, there are other names preparing for the November ballot. Kasie Whitener, the Libertarian Party nominee, joins us to discuss her campaign and why she believes voters are looking for another option.

And here in South Carolina, lawmakers worked late into the night as the House pushed forward with President Trump-backed congressional redistricting maps that could potentially give Republicans control of all seven congressional districts in the state.

A major shift in the Middle East — and a tragic attack here at home.

Donald Trump says he is holding off on planned military action against Iran after requests from Middle Eastern leaders, signaling that a possible peace agreement could be close. We break down what changed, what’s reportedly being negotiated, and what it could mean for the region moving forward.

Meanwhile, authorities in San Diego have identified the two suspects in a deadly shooting outside a mosque that left three people dead. The alleged gunmen — ages 17 and 18 — reportedly left suicide notes for their parents before carrying out the attack. We’ll bring you the latest details from investigators and reaction from the community.

Back in Washington, Senate Republicans confirmed nearly 50 of President Trump’s nominees tied to energy and land management after using revised Senate procedures allowing multiple confirmations in a single sitting. We explain what this means for the administration’s agenda going forward.
