## Resource

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the latest news on The Iran War, including the seizure of an Iranian flagged freighter by the U.S. Navy and the prospects for a second round of peace talks. Then, Fox News contributor Mary Katherine Hamm joins the guys to discuss “MAHA moms” and what the GOP can do to appeal to them in the midterms. Also, Maine Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner is accused of making a Nazi salute at a political rally, drawing comparisons to coverage of Elon Musk. Then finally, they discuss a new article in the Atlantic alleging FBI Director Kash Patel is an excessive drinker, and that current and former government officials worry that his behavior constitutes a national security risk. Patel denies the story and has threatened to sue the magazine for libel. Plus, they chat about the Democratic National Committee which has narrowed the list of potential hosts for their 2028 convention to five cities: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, and Philadelphia.
