## Resource

Mike and Jay dig into a chaotic week in politics, starting with the Trump administration’s memorandum of understanding with Iran—a deal meant to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, end the war, waive oil sanctions, and postpone the hardest nuclear questions. They debate whether the agreement was a pragmatic off-ramp, a capitulation, or a deal already collapsing under pressure from Iran, Israel, Hezbollah, and Trump’s own political incentives. Then they turn to Trump’s strange handling of Jay Clayton’s DNI nomination, Bill Pulte’s interim role, FISA Section 702 renewal, and the SAVE Act fight over documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration. They also break down major 2026 primary results in Georgia, Alabama, and Oklahoma, including Trump’s mixed endorsement record, Mike Collins vs. Jon Ossoff, and Rick Jackson’s staggering spending in the Georgia governor’s race. Finally, they discuss the legality, symbolism, and tackiness of UFC Freedom 250 on the White House lawn—and the alleged plot to attack it.
