Listen Later

Spring is playing hard to get, but the Need to Know Morning Show is heating up. Hosts Kevin Flynn and Alex Taylor take you through a "schizophrenic" weather week—from 70-degree teasers to the looming threat of the "S-word" on Friday. The political world is equally volatile as the team discusses the fallout from the U.S. naval blockade of Iran and the rapid implosion of Eric Swalwell’s career following a wave of misconduct allegations. We also dive into the "staged or not?" viral moment of President Trump’s McDonald’s DoorDash delivery at the White House to celebrate his "No Tax on Tips" policy. Plus, a sobering look at the assault of a Turning Point USA reporter in Minneapolis and a chemistry lesson for farmers with ag expert Bridget Riedel. Standout Moments: [00:01:26] The 70-Degree Tease: Dean Wysocki breaks the news of a mid-week heat spike to 72 degrees—immediately followed by a plunge back into the 30s for the weekend. [00:05:45] The Pope vs. The Bee: A laugh at the Babylon Bee’s latest "ultimate troll" involving Al-generated pictures of the Pope dressed as Donald Trump. [00:11:30] Blockade Bites: A breakdown of the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, including the high-tech Kingfish and Knife Fish drones clearing Iranian mines. [00:13:40] The Mafia Toll: Why U.S. Navy strategists are calling Iran’s strait "tolls" simple protection money and how the blockade is costing the regime $400 million a day. [00:18:45] Chemistry in the Field: Ag expert Bridgette Readel explains how hard water pH can actually neutralize your weed control before it even hits the ground. [00:27:10] The Monster and the Creator: Constitutional expert Jonathan Turley joins to discuss the House Ethics investigation into Eric Swalwell and Nancy Pelosi’s role in protecting him for years. [00:30:15] Rightsizing the Ranch: Troy Mannard of Heritage Homes discusses the "equity boom" and the upcoming Parade of Homes for those looking to ditch the stairs. [00:33:10] The Working Alcoholic: A surprising birthday tribute to Everybody Loves Raymond star Brad Garrett, including a look back at his early career struggles. [00:36:15] Big Mac Diplomacy: The story of Sharon Simmons, the Arkansas DoorDasher who delivered McDonald’s to the Oval Office and what the "No Tax on Tips" policy meant for her family’s medical bills.
