## Resource

DOJ warns media outlets over classified leaks after details emerged about the missing — now rescued — pilot, and Todd Blanche unloads on reporters over the coverage. Joe Pags digs into the real question: do journalists have the right to report classified information if they get it? He also revisits the Ashley Biden diary situation and praises James O’Keefe for showing restraint despite still being raided by the FBI. Then, a stunning reversal as former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas reportedly admits regrets over Biden-era immigration policy after years of claiming the border was secure. Plus, Heritage Foundation foreign policy expert Andrew Harding joins to break down Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, and why President Trump’s trip to China could shape what happens next globally.
