In today’s episode, Jon Decker breaks down President Trump’s primetime address to the nation, where he made his most direct case yet for the ongoing war in Iran—arguing the conflict is necessary, limited, and in America’s national interest.

Plus, the Supreme Court hears a major case that could redefine birthright citizenship in the United States. Justices from across the ideological spectrum express skepticism over the administration’s argument—raising the stakes for a landmark decision expected later this year.

And in Washington, the political battle over Department of Homeland Security funding continues as lawmakers clash over immigration enforcement, triggering real-world impacts—from unpaid federal workers to airport travel disruptions nationwide.
