Joey Hudson fills in for Mike and opens the week with a look at President Trump’s latest escalation against Iran, including U.S. strikes on Iranian military targets and the president’s warning that Iran will not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon. He also takes on a growing Democratic push to expand the Supreme Court, with Congressman James Clyburn backing a “baker’s dozen” of 13 justices and raising questions about what could happen if Democrats regain control of Congress. Meanwhile, the Trump administration announces a sweeping crackdown on illegal truck drivers and fraudulent CDL practices, targeting driving schools accused of serious violations and networks involved in drug and human trafficking. Joey also breaks down the latest fight with Canada, Trump’s battle with NBC, rising grocery prices, and the stakes of the upcoming midterm elections.
