Mike Hoeflich, Mike Lomas, and Russ Gaiser open with the latest assassination attempt targeting President Trump and members of his administration, calling out what they see as repeated, inexcusable failures in Secret Service security protocols. The conversation moves to the ongoing U.S./Iran standoff around the Strait of Hormuz, where the guys reflect on Trump's strategic approach to the region and what a lasting resolution could mean for the Middle East. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin gets a moment in the spotlight after a viral congressional exchange with purple-haired Rep. Rosa DeLauro over climate policy and the Clean Air Act, with the hosts breaking down Zeldin's composed response and their frustrations with climate alarmism more broadly. The back half of the show covers AI's growing role in financial advising, with Russ sharing takeaways from a recent conference and Mike Lomas drawing parallels between today's AI adoption curve and earlier technology waves he lived through. The episode wraps with Mike Lomas recapping his first NHRA national event, a conversation on winner's mindset, and Sabers playoff predictions ahead of Game 5.
