Rubio Gets It Right; Trump Starts Coming Around

At 1:02:40 · chapter starts 59:20

Rubio is praised as the adult in the room: he reads the MOU's requirement for 'complete end of hostilities' as contingent on Iran stopping terrorism and proxy warfare — even if that's not explicit in the text. On Hormuz, Rubio insists existing international law prohibits tolls on international waterways and that no convincing is needed. Trump, meanwhile, flatly contradicts Iran's claim that IAEA inspections were never agreed to, saying 'they're wrong' and that he would cancel meetings if they were right. Senator Tim Sheehy of Montana delivers the sharpest summary: Iran doesn't want a deal, wants to buy time, and Trump is the first president to actually go after them. Shapiro applauds the sentiment but notes the irony that releasing oil sanctions and legitimizing Iran's ghost fleet is itself the kind of bribery Trump accused Obama of.

California Bans Glock by Calling It a Machine Gun

Ep. 2452 - Mamdani the Kingmaker · Jun 24, 2026 Government

California's July 1 Glock ban reclassifies a standard semi-automatic pistol as a machine gun because it can be illegally modified. Shapiro compares it to banning Ford dealerships because a buyer might theoretically attach a bazooka to their car. It's the most popular handgun in America, owned legally by millions.
