Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley tackle a loaded news cycle. Did Arizona Senator Mark Kelly actually leak classified information on Face the Nation, or is Hegseth the one who already spilled it publicly? They dig into Iran's little-known fleet of mini submarines designed for the shallow waters of the Strait of Hormuz, what that means for global trade routes, and why the world as it existed before February 27, 2026, is gone for good. Plus, a look at whether J.D. Vance is being groomed for 2028 and whether Marco Rubio is even constitutionally eligible to run.

Sam Bushman breaks down a powerful commentary from Auron McIntyre at The Blaze: the pro-life movement is hitting a ceiling not because Trump has failed, but because abortion has been woven into the foundation of America's economy, workforce, and culture since Roe v. Wade. Sam gives Trump credit where it's due, then digs deeper into what McIntyre missed: how the abortion agenda has betrayed women entirely. Plus: the Supreme Court keeps mail-order abortion pills in place, Taiwan seeks direct talks after the China summit, a back-door crypto bill to watch, reading scores cratering in 83% of school districts, and a closing call for Congress to back the president on tariffs before the midterms. Oh, and Spam hot dogs.
