Following the passing of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, many are reflecting on his influential role in shaping American foreign policy and his decades-long presence on Capitol Hill. Ben Domenech, host of The Big Ben Show podcast and a FOX News contributor, joins the Rundown to discuss what Graham's loss could mean for policy at home and abroad. Domenech also shares personal reflections on the senator's life and legacy, including his unique ability to work across the aisle while advancing conservative priorities. Is Cuba next? While the U.S. remains in conflict with Iran, another potential crisis looms much closer to home. Cuba, which is already facing massive fuel shortages since President Trump cut off oil shipments and imposed additional sanctions on the island nation, is now being called a national security threat by the administration. The President has threatened to take even further action, creating speculation he could strike Cuba similarly to the operation against Venezuela earlier this year. Former Miami Mayor and FOX News contributor Francis Suarez joins the Rundown to discuss the situation on the ground and his new FOX Nation special, "Cuba: A New Dawn," which analyzes how President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are applying maximum economic pressure on the regime. He also explains the dangerous influence of adversarial nations like China, Russia, and Iran operating in the region. PLUS, commentary by Brilyn Hollyhand, 19-year-old political commentator, bestselling author of "One Generation Away: Why Now is the Time to Restore American Freedom," and host of "The Brilyn Hollyhand Show."

Show recorded June 23, 2026: This week on The Third Opinion, Mike and Laureen take a deep dive into the evolving Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Iran as more details emerge about what the agreement actually entails. They examine whether the MOU simply serves as a letter of intent or represents a return to the prewar status quo, discussing key questions surrounding Iran's military infrastructure, uranium production capabilities and whether sanctions relief could provide Iran with resources to rebuild its nuclear program. To provide perspective, the program features excerpts from The Big Ben Show podcast, where host Ben Domenech interviews Mark Dubowitz, CEO of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Dubowitz outlines the case in favor of the agreement and addresses its strategic implications. The hosts then present an opposing viewpoint from CNN, highlighting criticisms of the accord, including concerns over easing restrictions on Iranian oil sales, the lack of specific provisions regarding Iran's nuclear activities, questions surrounding possible fees for passage through the Strait of Hormuz and reactions to President Trump's comments about the conflict. Additional perspectives come from Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, as Mike and Laureen passionately defend their differing viewpoints on the agreement and its potential consequences. The episode concludes with Laureen's update on several important upcoming elections, including key congressional races and the race for mayor of Washington, D.C. and a discussion of how developments in the Middle East could influence the political landscape heading into the midterm elections.   Thank you for listening, sharing and subscribing to The Third Opinion Podcast.

Is the new Iran deal a historic mistake, and is modern America repeating the fatal errors of Ancient Rome? Ben Domenech breaks down current foreign policy shifts with legendary historian Victor Davis Hanson. In this edition of The Big Ben Show, Ben unpacks his major reservations regarding the proposed Iran memorandum of understanding (MOU) and what it reveals about American strength. Joined by Victor Davis Hanson, senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, they dive deep into the administration's foreign policy strategy, the reality of regional military threats, and whether modern America is tracking the cultural, fiscal, and border-related collapse of the Western Roman Empire. Later in the episode, culinary icon Christopher Kimball joins the show to celebrate America's 250th anniversary through our unique food traditions.

The MOU commits the United States to ensuring a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran, lifting all sanctions regardless of type, releasing all frozen Iranian assets, and allowing immediate oil sales upon signing. Iran's nuclear program and enriched uranium stockpile are left entirely unaddressed. Israel was excluded from the negotiations and is not a party to the agreement. The signing ceremony is scheduled for Friday. Critics cited in this video span the political spectrum, from Hudson Institute fellow Josh Block to Fox News contributor Andy McCarthy, who compared the deal to Neville Chamberlain's capitulation before World War II, to National Review editor Philip Klein, who called it money for nothing. Even Ben Domenech, husband of Meghan McCain, acknowledged the deal failed to achieve any of the stated objectives before spinning it as a win. The second story covers federal prosecutors in Minneapolis announcing a 94-page indictment against 15 individuals allegedly affiliated with Antifa. Hawk notes that Antifa is not a formal organization, that 75 percent of the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office staff quit earlier this year, and that the marquee piece of evidence presented at the press conference was a Facebook post reading "we need to become ungovernable." Half of similar cases brought by this DOJ have already been dismissed.
