Hour 1
“A Spectacular Military Success” – Trump Says ‘Bully’ Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been “Completely & Totally Obliterated” President Trump declared the recent U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure a major success, stating that the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan facilities were “completely and totally obliterated.” The operation, dubbed “Midnight Hammer,” deployed over 125 aircraft and more than 75 precision-guided munitions in the most direct U.S. military assault on Iranian targets to date. B-2 stealth bombers, launched from Missouri, delivered GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs while submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles struck secondary locations. Satellite imagery indicates significant damage, with collapsed tunnels and structural compromise at underground sites. Iran, however, claimed only minor, superficial hits and asserted that core capabilities remain intact. The International Atomic Energy Agency has yet to verify the full extent of the destruction, citing limited access. Tehran condemned the attacks as violations of international law and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, threatening retaliation, including potential disruption to global oil trade via the Strait of Hormuz. Vice President Vance stated the U.S. has no intent to escalate into a ground war but emphasized readiness for additional defensive actions. The operation marks a turning point in U.S.-Iran relations and casts doubt on future diplomatic efforts surrounding Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Critics warn that bypassing Congress and dismissing international oversight risks inflaming broader conflict in the region.
Here’s How US Strikes On Iran Unfolded Operation “Midnight Hammer” was executed with precision coordination across U.S. military assets targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities. The Fordow enrichment center, the Natanz uranium plant, and the Isfahan uranium conversion site were all struck in a matter of hours using a mix of aerial and submarine assets. B-2 Spirit stealth bombers flew nonstop from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, deploying heavy ordnance designed for hardened underground bunkers. Complementary submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles provided initial suppression of air defenses and targeted strategic infrastructure. According to defense officials, the mission was designed to maximize impact with minimal collateral damage and was preceded by intelligence deception strategies to mislead Iranian defenses. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth noted the mission’s success in catching Iran off guard and degrading its nuclear capabilities, though full intelligence assessments remain ongoing. Iran responded with statements downplaying the effectiveness of the strikes while warning of pending retaliation. Despite public celebration by Trump and his administration, military analysts caution that Iran’s underground infrastructure may still possess residual capabilities. No casualties were reported by the Pentagon, and no immediate Iranian counterstrikes were confirmed. The operation highlights a new era in U.S. precision warfare, emphasizing surgical strikes, cyber-intelligence, and strategic deterrence over full-scale troop deployment.
Fill Your Tanks! After Iran Attack, Oil Prices May Skyrocket. The U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities have caused immediate ripples in the global oil market, with Brent and WTI crude prices surging over 3%, reaching the highest levels in five months. Analysts warn that prices could spike above $100 per barrel if Iran retaliates by targeting key oil infrastructure or blocking the Strait of Hormuz—a strategic chokepoint through which over 20% of global oil passes daily. Energy markets are reacting not only to the physical damage of the strikes but also to escalating geopolitical risk. While the U.S. has stated it does not seek prolonged conflict, Iran’s threats to respond militarily, including disrupting shipping routes, have kept traders and investors on high alert. Strategic reserves in various countries may be tapped if supply disruptions escalate, though officials in the U.S. and Europe have not yet confirmed such actions. Airlines and transport companies are reportedly preparing for cost increases, and consumers are being advised to expect rising fuel prices in the coming weeks. If conflict spreads beyond targeted military exchanges, long-term global supply chains may be affected, adding inflationary pressure to already strained economies. The situation remains fluid, with oil volatility expected to continue as the geopolitical fallout unfolds.

Hour 2
The Hidden Cost of Convenience: How Modern Food Is Fueling a Silent Liver Epidemic Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, now officially renamed metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), affects up to 100 million Americans and is increasingly seen in children—despite being largely asymptomatic in its early stages. The article attributes this growing epidemic to the widespread consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs), which now account for nearly 60% of the American diet. UPFs, engineered for taste and profit with high levels of added sugars, seed oils, sodium, and artificial additives, disrupt metabolic processes and contribute directly to insulin resistance, inflammation, and the accumulation of fat in liver cells. Research shows that adolescents with the highest intake of UPFs are 183% more likely to develop fatty liver disease, and the condition is increasingly being diagnosed in individuals with normal body weight, underscoring the role of diet quality over simple caloric excess. The piece criticizes the food industry for flooding the market with addictive, nutrient-deficient products and notes that billions in federal subsidies for corn, soy, and sugar contribute to the affordability and dominance of UPFs in the food system. Solutions proposed include eliminating subsidies for harmful food ingredients, implementing clearer food labeling, restricting UPF marketing to children, and investing in community nutrition education. On a personal level, the article urges consumers to reduce UPF consumption, prioritize real whole foods, cook meals at home, and support policies that foster access to fresh, nutrient-dense food. It warns that without broad intervention, the rise of MASLD could eclipse other chronic conditions as a leading cause of liver transplants and related mortality, turning poor dietary habits into a silent but devastating public health crisis.
Special Guest Sheriff Richard Mack
Author, speaker and former Sheriff Richard Mack has served in a wide variety of roles over the course of his nearly twenty year career in law enforcement, which began in Provo, Utah. After 11 years at Provo PD, Mack decided to return to his childhood turf in Arizona and run for Graham County Sheriff. His campaign took off and he was elected in 1988. During his tenure, federal officers informed the sheriffs of the state that they would be required to enforce the so-called “Brady Bill” and run background checks at their expense under the law. In 1994, Mack and six other sheriffs from across the country, challenged the constitutionality of the Brady Bill and ultimately, fought it all the way to the United States Supreme Court, where they won a monumental decision for freedom. Three years later, in a landmark 5-4 split decision based on the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Mack won his case. He has also been named Elected Official of the Year by the Arizona-New Mexico Coalition of Counties in 1994, received the NRA Law Officer of the Year, inducted into the NRA Hall of Fame, 1995 Cicero Award, Samuel Adams Leadership Award from the Local Sovereignty Coalition, and Gun Owners of America Defender of the Second Amendment Award. He was sheriff for two terms until 1997. Sheriff Mack currently teaches, consults and empowers people around the country and around the world. He started the Constitutional Sheriffs & Peace Officers Association (CSPOA) which educates both citizens as well as sheriffs and other peace officers on the Constitution and their limitations of power, according to the Constitution.
USDA Poised to Deregulate New GMO Corn: What Could Go Wrong? The USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is preparing to deregulate Bayer’s MON 95379 genetically engineered corn, removing it from regulatory oversight and exempting it from confinement, monitoring, and safety reporting. MON 95379 produces two insecticidal proteins targeting lepidopteran pests but poses significant concerns regarding human health, environmental damage, and contamination of non-GMO crops. Studies on similar genetically engineered (GE) crops, such as Bt corn and glyphosate-resistant varieties, have shown links to liver and kidney toxicity, immune system disturbances, reproductive harm, and organ damage in animals. Additionally, these crops have been associated with soil degradation, insect resistance, and harm to beneficial species such as earthworms and pollinators. The deregulation would allow MON 95379 to bypass even the minimal safety nets currently in place, and although the current EPA permit limits its cultivation to 100 acres per season in Nebraska, Hawaii, and Iowa, gene flow and contamination of organic and non-GMO corn is already a well-documented risk. Critics argue that this move favors corporate interests over public welfare and represents another step in promoting industrial agriculture at the expense of ecological and food system integrity. The article contrasts the USDA’s leniency toward GE crops with its historically strict stance on natural health products, highlighting a regulatory imbalance. Rob Verkerk, PhD, from the Make America Healthy Again think tank, condemned the decision as a step backward, emphasizing the need for a national strategy that supports regenerative agriculture and public health. The piece concludes by urging citizens to oppose the deregulation, framing it as a critical opportunity to push for policies that prioritize health, environmental resilience, and food sovereignty over biotech expansion.
Exclusive: USDA develops potential plan to vaccinate poultry for bird flu The USDA is crafting a formal strategy to vaccinate poultry—marking a potential policy shift—as nearly 175 million birds, including chickens and turkeys, have been culled since the 2022 H5N1 bird flu outbreak. With devastating impacts on egg and turkey producers, the agency has earmarked up to $100 million for vaccine research and is collaborating with federal, state, and industry stakeholders to finalize the plan by July. However, a key challenge lies in maintaining U.S. poultry exports, as some nations may bar vaccinated flocks over concerns the vaccine could conceal active infections. Industry opinions are mixed: egg and turkey farmers support vaccination, while chicken meat producers warn it risks trade bans, emphasizing their reliance on open export markets. The United Egg Producers has proposed an immunization schedule—initial vaccination at hatch with a booster for chicks and regular flock testing, while still culling infected birds to satisfy trading partners. The USDA has already compensated farmers over $1 billion for losses. The forthcoming plan aims to balance improved domestic biosecurity and economic recovery with international export safeguards, marking a critical juncture in America’s response to the worst poultry-health emergency in its history.
