The Tom Sullivan Show

Israel never signed the Iran agreement and is not bound by it but Trump and Vance are openly hostile toward Israel anyway — for the crime of defending itself against Hezbollah's missiles. That dispute just stalled the 60-day negotiating period before it even started. Meanwhile Bill Pulte is on the job at intelligence and reportedly asking for a complete employee list — step one in what looks like a mass firing operation across America's spy agencies. And the original Air Force One livery, the elegant one Jackie Kennedy helped design, is in the hangar. The new plane is a repainted Qatari 747 in red white and blue and we are just going to say it plainly today — we do not like it.

JD Vance is out there alone trying to sell the Iran MOU and the President is calling the distinguished list of conservative critics stupid. The list is long, the credentials are serious, and calling them stupid is not an argument. The stock market going up has nothing to do with the Iran deal — it is about corporate earnings and the AI boom and today we explain why. The White House drone terror plot was not discovered by the FBI or any law enforcement agency. A mother called police about her own son and saved potentially hundreds of lives. And Bernie Sanders thinks AI companies should share their profits with him despite contributing absolutely nothing to their success. That is called socialism. All of it today.

Did Iran win this war? Go back to the stated goals when this started — nuclear threat neutralized, terror sponsorship curtailed, Hormuz secured. None of it actually happened and more Republicans are saying so out loud as the President tries to sell this deal as a win. Meanwhile some genuine political hardball — Trump asked his own DNI nominee Jay Clayton to skip his Senate confirmation hearing today, conveniently clearing the way for Bill Pulte to become acting Director of National Intelligence on Friday without ever facing real confirmation scrutiny. Democrats and Republicans alike are not happy about playing games with national security. And Luigi Mangione's defense team may be heading toward an insanity defense in his New York trial. Big show, no spin, today.

Skeptical. That is the word Trump's own supporters are using about the Iran deal and today we explain why they are right to use it. A one and a half page memorandum of understanding that nobody is allowed to read. A president who is not going to Geneva to sign his own historic agreement even though he is just up the road. Washington and Tehran describing the same deal in completely opposite terms. If this was a win the President would be singing from the rooftops. The silence tells you everything. Then the FBI arrested a group of young men who planned to attack the White House south lawn UFC crowd with explosive drones. The ringleader is nineteen years old and said he was angry at the direction of the country. Chilling, close, and stopped just in time. All of it today, no filter.

A historic agreement that nobody is allowed to read until after it is signed on Friday. The United States saying Iran made major concessions. Iran saying its nuclear rights are fully intact. Both describing the same document in completely contradictory terms. Oil and gas experts saying it will take weeks or months before ships transit Hormuz in normal numbers even if everything goes perfectly. And the very real question hanging over all of it — does the shooting start again before this deal is even fully understood? We are skeptical. We have been right to be skeptical before. And today we tell you exactly why this agreement has all the hallmarks of a can being kicked past the midterm elections rather than a problem being solved. Honest assessment. No spin. All of it today.

The Iran deal leaves the world's number one terrorism sponsoring regime completely in place. The skeptics are not being cynical — they are being honest. We hope to be proven wrong but history says otherwise and today we make the full case for why this looks like another can kicked down the road for the next president to deal with. Meanwhile FISA — America's legal authority to surveil foreign bad actors — expires tonight. It had bipartisan support for reauthorization until the Pulte ODNI announcement blew the coalition apart. Tonight America goes dark on foreign surveillance and we can thank the Pulte nomination for the security gap. And on a note that unites all of us — Sunday is Flag Day. Fly your flag proudly.

This morning the President said bigger bombing of Iran was happening tonight. This afternoon he cancelled it and announced a deal has been reached. The Strait of Hormuz could be open by the weekend if a formal agreement is signed as promised. We have heard similar things before so today we ask the honest question — is this actually the real deal or are we about to watch another announcement evaporate? Bill Pulte's DNI nomination is finished — killed by pushback from both parties who questioned his qualifications. The President has now nominated Jay Powell the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York to lead American intelligence instead. Big day. Massive story. No spin.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting the President called our downed Apache no big deal and had to be talked into a kinetic military response. He still thinks ceasefire talks are somehow continuing at the same time. Today we ask what that says about American resolve and what our adversaries are hearing. Inflation just hit 4.2 percent — the highest in three years — driven by oil and gas from the Iran conflict while wages fall further behind. American families are getting squeezed from every direction. And Susan Rice along with other Biden administration veterans reportedly called Xavier Becerra an idiot and worse. Democrats destroying Democrats — nothing new but always entertaining. Big show today.

An American Apache helicopter was shot down and both crew members were rescued alive — thank God. But the President said we must respond and those three words may have just opened the military door he has been holding shut for months. Is this the moment the Iran conflict escalates decisively? Meanwhile oil and gas reserves are being drawn down fast and a significant price spike may be closer than anyone is admitting publicly. And in Maine on Tuesday Democrats are asking themselves a genuinely hard question — do you vote for Graham Platner knowing his checkered past because the politics demand it or do you vote your conscience and live with the consequences? Character versus strategy. Maine decides Tuesday.

Iran and Israel are firing rockets and drones at each other right now and the Strait of Hormuz is still blocked. The President's advisors are telling him directly — use the military and finish the regime because no deal with these people will ever stick. The President is not listening. California's vote counting is so slow that the President and millions of voters think something is wrong — and when voters lose trust in counting they lose trust in democracy itself. California needs to understand that. And tonight Trump is at the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden — one of the most complex presidential security operations in recent memory given three previous assassination attempts. Big show today.
