In this fast-paced morning edition, Kevin Flynn and Alex Taylor break down a massive development out of Washington and the Middle East. They discuss President Trump’s sudden escalation against the Iranian regime—dubbed Operation Epic Fury—including a dramatic late-night call from Tehran to the Situation Room. The duo also tackles the latest political firestorm in Maine surrounding democratic candidate Graham Plattner, gets into a heated debate over California election numbers, and looks at how a rapid weather cooldown is entirely throwing off local fishing patterns. Plus, a deep dive into "Canine Cognitive Dysfunction" and why your old dog might be staring at the wall. Standout Moments & Timestamps – The Heartbreak Kid Knicks: Kevin laments the San Antonio Spurs blowing a massive 27-point lead to the "stinking Knicks," resulting in the largest halftime comeback in NBA Finals history. – 49 Tomahawks to Tehran: Chief foreign correspondent Trey Yanks rings in exclusively from Tel Aviv to detail his direct conversation with President Trump inside the Situation Room during a heavy bombing campaign against Iran. – The MMA "Choke Hold" Analogy: Kevin compares America’s economic and military naval blockade of Iran to an ultimate fighting match, waiting for the regime to finally "tap out." – Dog Dementia is Real: Agricultural insider Bridget Riedel joins the show to discuss Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome, giving advice to pet parents noticing their senior dogs staring into space. – The 34 Felonies & The Kangaroo Court: Kevin addresses text messages from listeners regarding Donald Trump’s New York legal battles and updates the audience on where the appeal process stands. – General Kellogg Weighs In: Retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg calls for an end to "forever wars," arguing that the U.S. needs to stop negotiating with Iran and "finish the job" via total tactical dominance. – Senator Kennedy’s "Stool" Comments: The show rolls tape on Louisiana Senator John Kennedy as he ruthlessly roasts Maine Senate candidate Graham Plattner in true, colorful fashion. – The "Oyster Farmer" Charade: Alex and Kevin investigate claims that Plattner’s highly publicized agricultural background is a total caricature, noting his only financial disclosure client is his own mother.
