Recorded on July 26, 2026: This week, Mike continues coverage of the ongoing war involving Iran, examining the conflicting messages coming from the White House about whether the war is over, whether the United States plans to avoid further escalation, or whether negotiations could resume. With reports continuing to contradict one another—and the Pentagon downplaying the extent of deaths, injuries, and damage—there appears to be no clear end in sight.

The discussion then turns to the possibility of the United States providing nuclear materials to Saudi Arabia. While Saudi officials maintain that the materials would be used only for peaceful purposes, Israel remains concerned that the move could ultimately help Saudi Arabia develop into a nuclear power.

Mike also examines Iran's reported threats against Kuwait and considers how a potential expansion of the conflict could affect the war's duration and regional stability. He then offers a passionate discussion about the use of the word "genocide" in relation to Israel and how that terminology influences global perceptions of the conflict. Finally, Mike recaps the latest developments in domestic politics and the primary elections.
