In one of the most easily predictable moves of all time, a small group of Republican "holdouts" quickly caved and green-lit the massive spending bill for passage; while Democrat Leader Jeffries has lurked at the House Floor microphone for hours pretending that there is any opposition to the Uniparty in DC. It is a shameful preview to the celebration of 249 years since we told King George, "later."

The Pentagon announced yesterday that the regular supply of weapons sent to Ukraine would be halted. The problem? We are running out of weapons! What does it say about a foreign policy that depletes the US defensive capabilities on behalf of foreign countries? Also today: The Libertarian Party reaches out to Elon Musk - can they work something out?

Just as news comes out that IDF commanders ordered Israeli soldiers to shoot unarmed Palestinians lining up for food, the US announced that it has approved $500 million in new weapons to Israel - just the kinds of weapons that are being used on the Palestinians who line up for food. Also today, the BBB spat between Musk and Trump widens!

As was easily predictable, all the carrots they hung on the "Big Beautiful Bill" to get House Republicans to vote on it have been stripped from the Senate version. The only thing remaining is the massive increase in debt. As usual, Thomas Massie was right. Will the final vote saddle Americans with this bankrupt albatross?

With wars still blazing in Ukraine and a war perhaps on hold for now in the Israel/Iran war, it was easy to overlook the "Daddy's Home" NATO summit this week. The European obsequiousness toward President Trump was embarrassing, but the biggest news was a "pledge" to increase NATO member state defense spending to five percent of GDP.

According to press reports, President Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff is back in touch with Iran after the ceasefire with Israel. Will a deal still be possible? Is Iran still interested?

Seemingly before either side agreed, President Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. In several social media posts it appears the President is convinced the ceasefire will hold and that the two countries will never shoot at each other again. Is he correct?

Just months into his second term, "Peace President" Donald Trump has launched missiles into an Iran that has neither attacked nor threatened to attack the United States. And he has done so with virtually no input from the US Congress. What comes next? Former US diplomat and senior US Senate foreign policy analyst Jim Jatras joins today's Liberty Report.

In this episode, we’re joined by financial expert Phillip Patrick from Birch Gold to break down the growing tensions with Iran, rising recession fears, and what tariffs and global instability could mean for the future of the U.S. dollar.
