Griff Jenkins details the growing ecological and public safety crisis in Colombia caused by hippos originally imported for Pablo Escobar’s private zoo, which have multiplied into the hundreds since his death. He explains how the animals have become an uncontrollable invasive species due to ideal habitat conditions and a lack of predators, leading to injuries, environmental damage, and renewed government action to cull a portion of the population.

Tim Graham of NewsBusters argues that legacy media and Democratic voices are applying a consistent double standard in coverage of the Iran conflict, claiming outlets like CNN and figures such as Senator Chris Van Hollen frame U.S. military actions negatively while ignoring similar precedent under prior administrations. He highlights Thomas Friedman’s CNN comments suggesting he is conflicted between opposing Iran and opposing Trump and Netanyahu, calling it an example of openly partisan thinking disguised as analysis. Graham expands on Media Research Center critiques that modern journalism increasingly abandons objectivity, instead shaping narratives around political outcomes rather than consistent standards, particularly in foreign policy and war coverage.

Jim Talent joins Mark Cox to discuss the ongoing U.S. military and diplomatic strategy toward Iran following a Pentagon briefing led by Pete Hegseth and senior CENTCOM leadership. Talent argues that the blockade and combined military-economic pressure are forcing Iran toward negotiation by targeting its ability to sustain coercive power, while describing Iran’s regional influence as rapidly weakening.

The conversation expands into geopolitical alignment, with Talent claiming regional actors including Gulf states and broader international partners are increasingly supportive of U.S. actions aimed at stabilizing energy and trade routes. He also addresses criticism from journalists and commentators who argue the U.S. is becoming destabilizing globally, pushing back by framing it as a misunderstanding of American strategy and allied cooperation. The segment closes with a broader critique of Western European energy and immigration policies and their impact on U.S.–European relations.
