Tonight, we break down all the latest developments in the Iran war crisis as tensions continue to escalate and the conflict spreads across the region. Iran is ramping up threats and retaliatory actions, with attacks and disruptions now impacting multiple countries and critical global shipping routes.
Meanwhile, the economic fallout is hitting hard. Oil prices are surging, markets are sliding, and economists warn the risk of recession is rising as inflation climbs and uncertainty grows.
And through it all, the Trump administration’s response raises serious questions about priorities, accountability, and whether anyone is truly in control. So where does this go next, and how much worse can it get?

Don breaks down the bizarre and often baffling moments from Trump’s latest Cabinet meeting where, instead of focusing on a growing war and economic instability, the conversation veered into rambling tangents, self-praise, and mixed messaging.
At the same time, reports suggest Trump is already signaling boredom with the Iran conflict, even as it continues to escalate and drive global economic uncertainty.
So what’s really going on here? Don unpacks the contradictions, the messaging chaos, and what it says about leadership in a moment that demands anything but distraction.

The war in Iran is so unpopular, even with MAGA, that we are left searching for reasons why we are there. Many suggest these reasons are the quest for oil. Trump's ego, the Epstein files, Israel, and not to be overlooked: Christian Nationalism. Pete Hegseth is often seen leading prayer in official government capacity and is also known for his ties to controversial churches that believe such things as "women should not have the right to vote" and who would like to turn this country into a fundamentalist Christian nation. Today Don is joined by Pastor Cody Deese to explain what this all means for the future of this country and the war in Iran.
