## Resource

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey discuss the uncertain future of the U.S. conflict with Iran, including the abrupt end of “Project Freedom” and what it signals about the path forward. They also examine the results of Indiana’s primary elections and what they could mean for the midterms and national political trends. Later, the show dives into controversy over a proposed White House ballroom and its funding, before shifting to travel and economic impacts with Fox World Travel’s Rose Gray. The conversation also covers rising fuel costs, the collapse of Spirit Airlines, and what’s next for air and rail travel in the U.S.
