Steve sits down with Don Brown, North Carolina Republican U.S. Senate candidate, former Navy JAG officer, and federal prosecutor, to unpack troubling developments at the Pentagon and beyond. Brown weighs in on reports that the Pentagon is elevating its review involving Senator Mark Kelly, and explains why Americans should be concerned when politics and national defense collide. They also dig into how national Democrat money is reshaping state-level races, drowning out local voices and tilting elections in favor of Washington insiders. 

Steve sits down with David Rubin, founder of the Shiloh Israel Children’s Fund and former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, for an urgent conversation on the growing threat posed by Iran and why Israel’s patience appears to be running out. As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signals that time is limited, Rubin explains what that message really means on the ground, why Israel’s security decisions are about survival, not politics, and why decisive leadership matters in the face of hostile regimes. It’s a sobering, firsthand perspective on Middle East realities that Americans need to understand as global tensions continue to rise.

Steve sits down with State Representative Donni Steele, who represents District 54 in Lake Orion and chairs the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, to discuss growing concerns over budget clawbacks and misplaced taxpayer dollars.

Steve sits down with Ron Eller, Mississippi State Chair for U.S. Term Limits, a retired U.S. Army Captain, and a congressional candidate challenging a 32-year incumbent, to tackle a question many Americans are asking: why is Congress so broken, and how do we fix it? Eller argues that career politicians have lost touch with the people they represent and explains why term limits, accountability, and citizen leadership are essential to restoring trust in Washington. It’s a straight-talk conversation about putting service over self and returning Congress to the people it was meant to serve.

Lots of work to do—let’s get to it—Here are 3 big things for this hour—

Number One— More oil tankers are being targeted for running illegal black market oil out of Venezuela—and the US Coast Guard is done playing games – more ships could soon be in the hands of the United States—

Number Two— Americans could see the biggest refund checks in history come 2026—in fact some say those checks could run from $11,000 to $20,000 each—talk about one big beautiful bill—

Number Three— The Democrats are completely estranged from the truth. They have no plays left for the heart of America other than to just lie through their teeth – about President Trump, about Republicans, about the failures of their own party.
