Military officer and former Speaker of the Parliament of Iran, Ali Larijani, was killed in the war against Iran yesterday. Former Director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center Joe Kent has resigned from his position in response to President Trump’s actions against Iran, where he is allegedly upset that Israel has emerged as the primary beneficiary of the conflict. Meanwhile, reporters covering the Nancy Guthrie case have begun leaving Arizona, where she resided, and a petition has been launched to remove the sheriff who handled her case.

Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Liz makes the case for why the Fed should seriously consider lowering interest rates, noting that current inflation numbers may not support maintaining the current rates. She also points out that very few voices on the right are pushing back on the SAVE Act, and argues that the best political strategy for Republicans is to advance legislation that roughly 80 percent of the country already supports, putting Democrats on the defensive.

The SAVE Act has become a major flashpoint, driving Democrats to fury over its requirement that voters present certain forms of ID. In the New York City mayoral race, had Andrew Cuomo not entered the contest, Eric Adams would likely have secured the Democratic primary, but Zohran Mamdani ultimately claimed that spot instead. New York City is also moving forward with installing additional speed cameras, following the model of San Francisco, which has generated approximately $17 million annually from its own camera program.

Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. A lineup change is underway at MSNBC. Some Democrats are framing the SAVE Act as voter suppression, particularly targeting immigrants, with certain members of the party suggesting that some racial groups lack access to proper identification. Ann and Mark also turn to what the airlines should do amid the ongoing DHS situation and the continued dysfunction in Congress.
