Summary
President Trump heads to Pennsylvania and delivers major updates on veterans, announcing that service members who drove heavy trucks in the military will now have a pathway to earn commercial trucking licenses. He also discusses the destruction of Iran's military capabilities, addresses questions about his safety during his first public appearance since NATO, and gives an update on America's military readiness and weapons stockpile. Pags then breaks down the biggest headlines surrounding Iran, including how the conflict is reshaping global oil markets and why he wants to hear Iran admit defeat itself. He also reacts as War Secretary Pete Hegseth announces a new policy testing troops for low testosterone. Then, former Army Lt. Col. Jeffrey Addicott joins the show to explain the optics of the Iraqi prime minister's White House visit, the latest on Iran, whether the Strait of Hormuz is truly open or closed, and why recent U.S. strikes are happening in broad daylight.
