The team delves into the controversy surrounding former FBI Director James Comey’s '86-47' social media post, which many interpreted as a coded threat against President Trump. The hosts then discuss a Gallup report revealing that young American men experience higher levels of loneliness compared to their global peers. The hour concludes with an interview featuring Dr. Rebecca Grant -- a national security analyst based out of Washington, D.C., who specializes in defense and aerospace research. She is the founder of IRIS Independent Research, and a Senior Fellow at the Lexington Institute.
