Netanyahu tells Fox News Israel aims to prevent Iran from arming proxies like the Houthis with nuclear weapons, while Trump, on Truth Social, denies U.S. involvement but warns Iran of severe consequences if attacked, urging a peace deal. McIntire sees Israel's goal as regime change, noting Netanyahu's calls to Iranians to rise up.

McIntire reflects on a heartfelt Iowa National Guard send-off ceremony, noting the sacrifices of "salt of the earth" Americans, but questions U.S. Middle East involvement. A federal judge approves the House settlement, allowing colleges to pay athletes up to $20.5 million annually, ending the amateur model and sparking debate over walk-on athletes and stability in college sports. McIntire criticizes the NCAA's greed-driven history, doubting the settlement will stabilize athletics. In Los Angeles, immigration riots reveal deep polarization: Vice President J.D. Vance questions if foreign nationals assaulting police constitute an "invasion," while 40% of L.A. residents are foreign-born. Governor Gavin Newsom calls deploying Marines "deranged," and the LAPD labels violent protests "peaceful." McIntire argues this reflects irreconcilable ideological divides.

A mix of patriotism, cultural shifts, and societal fractures.
