Markwayne Mullin will take over on March 31.“The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at ‘Homeland,'” Trump wrote.The president's announcement comes two days after Noem faced a grilling on Capitol Hill from both GOP members and Democrats.

In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:  First—The U.S. and Israeli air campaign against Iran is achieving overwhelming military results. But as reports swirl that some of the IRGC's security forces are failing to report for duty, the major question intelligence analysts are asking now isn't about bombs or missiles — it's about the stability of the regime itself. Later in the show—An effort in Congress aimed at limiting President Trump's war powers over Iran collapsed this week on Capitol Hill, leaving the administration with broad latitude to continue the campaign. I'll explain what lawmakers were trying to do, and why it didn't succeed. To listen to the show ad-free, become a premium member of The President's Daily Brief by visiting PDBPremium.com.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is being removed from her role following a difficult week of congressional hearings and mounting questions about her leadership. Meanwhile, military strikes on Iran continue alongside concerns on Capitol Hill over the duration of Operation Epic Fury, the extent of the President's authority to act against Iran, and energy prices. FOX News Sunday anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss the political fight at home over the conflict, the intelligence behind the "imminent threat" from Iran's nuclear program, and how rising energy costs could shape voter sentiment ahead of the midterms. The modern battlefield is changing, driven largely by the rise of drones. The U.S. military has deployed one-way attack drones in combat against Iran for the first time, marking a significant escalation in a conflict defined by massive drone and missile barrages. Meanwhile, U.S. forces are learning firsthand the challenges of neutralizing Iran's drone arsenal. Former Army Special Ops intelligence analyst and FOX News Contributor Brett Velicovich joins to discuss the evolution of military drone strategy, the high cost of using sophisticated interceptors against low-cost enemy tech, and the rising threat of weaponized commercial drones.

Senator John Kennedy is a bad caricature of a southern gentleman and he masquerades around Capitol Hill as a folksy “just asking questions” kind of fella. In reality, he’s a wealthy, elite, fraud with a $20 million net worth who attended Oxford. Despite representing the poorest state in America, this Louisiana senator took his allotted time at a hearing with the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to review how poverty is calculated and take issue with it.

Funny how the Representatives who howled over the Epstein Files and demanded the release of all the names don't have the same fury over fellow representatives sexually harassing and abusing Capitol Hill staffers... and getting away with it. The vote that speaks volumes about the bribery and blackmail apparatus that is the US Congress - the REAL Epstein Island. Karoline Leavitt calls out CNN and its resting-man-face news babe for always being hateful in their coverage of President Trump. Jake Tapper clutches his pearls.

On today’s show, Josh breaks down what “winning” in Iran could look like and what he believes the endgame of the current conflict may ultimately be. He discusses the ongoing strikes across the region, the continued missile attacks launched by Iran, and how the conflict is expanding as more countries become involved. Josh explains why, in his view, regime change in Iran may be desirable but is not necessarily required for the United States to declare victory. Rabbi Pesach Wolicki, Executive Director of Israel365 Action and a columnist for The Jerusalem Post, joins the show from Israel to share his perspective and describe what life is like on the ground as the strikes against Iran continue. Josh also responds to criticism from some voices on the right — including Tucker Carlson — who have blamed Israel for the conflict, explaining why he believes those arguments risk fueling anti-Semitic sentiment. To close the show, Josh discusses the heated moments during a Capitol Hill hearing Wednesday regarding the fraud in Minnesota and why he believes the issue points to a broader problem facing the country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Operation Epic Fury / Rising Lion: Inside the U.S. / Israel Strike on Iran | war powers, nuclear threat, regional fallout, and consequences at home. a coordinated U.S. and Israeli strike — hit more than 1,000 Iranian military and nuclear-linked targets, killing Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and triggering immediate retaliation across the region. In this episode, we break down what led to the strike, the administration's red lines, and the intelligence claims surrounding Iran's uranium enrichment. We examine the latest IAEA findings, Tehran's 60% enriched uranium stockpile, and the debate over whether Iran was truly days from a nuclear breakout — or whether diplomacy still had runway. We also tackle the constitutional question head-on: Did the President violate the War Powers Resolution? We walk through the legal framework, historical precedent, executive authority, congressional notification requirements, and what critics on Capitol Hill are arguing versus what the administration claims is firmly within presidential power. Beyond the missiles and airstrikes, we explore the deeper regional fault line shaping this conflict — the 1,400-year-old Sunni–Shia divide. Iran as the dominant Shia power. The Sunni Gulf monarchies calculating survival. Hezbollah's entry into the fight. The internal Muslim conflict that predates modern borders — and why it still dictates alliances, proxy wars, and regional escalation today. We break down the global chessboard: Israel's security calculus, Gulf state vulnerability, NATO positioning, China's oil dependency, Russia's military coordination with Tehran, and what this means for great-power competition. Then we analyze reactions at home — on both sides of the aisle. Democrats raising constitutional and escalation concerns. Progressives framing the strike as Western interventionism. Libertarians warning of endless war and blowback. Conservatives divided between America First restraint and muscular deterrence. Who supports it. Who opposes it. And why. We also examine the domestic consequences: • The Strait of Hormuz and rising oil prices • Inflation risk tied to energy markets • Terror retaliation and asymmetric threats • The power vacuum inside Iran — IRGC control, succession scenarios, and regime-change speculation Was this preemptive defense? Strategic decapitation? Or the start of a wider regional war? This is a full geopolitical and constitutional breakdown of Operation Epic Fury — separating intelligence from rhetoric, law from politics, and strategy from media spin. Like. Share. Subscribe.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Special Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan delivers the latest on the widening war with Iran and the global economic and military consequences now unfolding across the Middle East and beyond.  Bryan begins with the tragic confirmation that six U.S. service members were killed by an Iranian drone strike at a U.S. base in Kuwait, while Tehran continues launching missile and drone attacks across the region targeting Oman, the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. The conflict is now rattling global markets as LNG shipments halt, oil hubs burn, and the battle over the Strait of Hormuz threatens energy supplies for Asia and Europe. The episode then moves inside Iran, where U.S. and Israeli forces have struck thousands of targets including a secret nuclear facility outside Tehran uncovered through surveillance and intelligence cooperation between the CIA and Mossad. Iran's air defenses, missile systems, and much of its navy have been destroyed, giving allied forces near-total control of the skies as the war grinds forward. Bryan also covers the expanding regional front as Israeli forces move into Lebanon to confront Hezbollah, while global powers reposition around the conflict. Russia benefits from rising oil prices, China quietly sits on large oil reserves while watching Taiwan, and Europe scrambles to protect its energy supplies as the war reshapes global alliances. Finally, Bryan explains the political battle now unfolding in Washington, where lawmakers are debating presidential war powers, the legality of the Iran operation, and whether the true objective of the conflict is limited strikes or full regime change in Tehran.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: March 4 2026 Wright Report, Iran war escalation Kuwait drone strike US casualties, Strait of Hormuz oil crisis LNG disruption, CIA Mossad intelligence Iran nuclear facility strike, Hezbollah Lebanon Israel conflict expansion, Russia oil profits Ukraine missile shortage, China oil reserves Taiwan surveillance reduction, Trump war powers debate Iran conflict, global recession risk energy shock

The MAGA movement is stronger than ever — and Tuesday night in Texas proved it. Grassroots conservatives delivered a political shockwave as Steve Toth defeated incumbent Dan Crenshaw, sending a clear message that the America First base is firmly in control. At the same time, Ken Paxton forced longtime Senator John Cornyn into a runoff, another sign that voters want fighters in Washington — not establishment politicians. Meanwhile on Capitol Hill, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem showed exactly why she’s become one of the strongest voices in the administration. Facing tough questioning from senators, Noem stood her ground and forcefully defended the administration’s America First approach to security and immigration. Tonight on Stinchfield, we break down the Texas political earthquake and the powerful message the grassroots just sent to Washington.

Tax-filing season is well underway, and yet many states are still figuring out whether to conform to or decouple from provisions in last year's GOP-led tax overhaul, especially the deductions and other breaks for corporate taxpayers. The upshot is one of the more complicated filing periods in recent years. Corporate taxpayers are watching which states reject federal tax policy changes, such as those related to immediate expensing for research and development or property investments. Just in the past week, lawmakers in Republican-controlled states like Florida and Democrat-led states like Oregon moved ahead in decoupling from some of those corporate tax provisions to preserve billions of dollars in state revenue. Then there's the unique situation in Washington, DC, where a local law severing the city's tax code from more than a dozen provisions in the 2025 federal tax rewrite was met with Congress's formal disapproval. That set off a dispute between Capitol Hill and city leaders over whether the district's decoupling measure is in effect. (DC officials say it is.) Most of all, corporate taxpayers are looking for clarity from the states as they plan their filings, Scott Roberti, a managing director focusing on state and local tax in EY's national tax practice, says on this week's episode of Talking Tax. Roberti tells Bloomberg Tax editor Benjamin Freed that so far, at least 17 states have issued some sort of guidance on the conformity issue. Roberti hopes the remainder finish up soon in time for the end of filing season and quarter-end accounting. Do you have feedback on this episode of Talking Tax?

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. How Does This End? The escalating conflict with Iran. Clay and Buck break down a major report from Fox News’ Trey Yingst, who reveals that Israel struck a gathering of Iran’s Supreme Council while they were choosing a new Supreme Leader—an unprecedented intelligence and operational blow. Clay and Buck analyze the implications of U.S.–Israeli air superiority, expressing the view that Iran’s leadership is increasingly vulnerable and unable to protect even top officials. They discuss the likelihood of the U.S. and Israel shaping Iran’s future leadership, referencing historic parallels such as the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan and Venezuela’s post‑Maduro transition. The conversation deepens as they react to President Trump’s warnings that failure to act against Iran’s nuclear program could have led to a “nuclear war,” followed by explosive comments from negotiator Steve Witkoff, who recounts Iran bragging about possessing enough enriched uranium for 11 nuclear bombs. Clay and Buck examine how these revelations accelerated U.S. action and what a post‑strike political landscape may look like inside Iran. Texas Primary Day! Clay Travis and Buck Sexton interview with Congressman Wesley Hunt, a leading candidate in the Texas Senate primary. Hunt lays out his case for next‑generation conservative leadership, citing his West Point background, combat service as an Apache pilot, support for term limits, and strong alignment with President Trump. He sharply criticizes what he calls the “soft bigotry of low expectations” from liberal politicians, slams Gavin Newsom’s recent comments, and emphasizes his commitment to cultural clarity on issues like gender, family values, and assimilation. Hunt also discusses Iran, calling Trump’s actions “peace through strength” and asserting that strategic force prevents greater conflict. Sen. Markwayne Mullin An extended interview featuring Senator Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, who discusses the unfolding U.S.–Israel military campaign against Iran. Senator Mullin emphasizes that this is not another Iraq or Afghanistan but a direct confrontation with a regime that has targeted Americans for 47 years. He explains why President Trump’s strategy differs from previous administrations and outlines the intelligence behind striking Iranian leadership, including revelations that Iran claimed to possess enough enriched uranium for 11 nuclear bombs. Mullin argues that Trump’s approach—eliminating threats rather than delaying action—is both historically rare and strategically necessary. Clay and Buck then explore how these operations intersect with the America First doctrine. Senator Mullin responds to skeptical constituents by explaining why actions in Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran directly impact U.S. national security, from drug trafficking to global energy markets. He details how a nuclear‑armed Iran could destabilize world shipping lanes, spike oil prices, endanger U.S. allies, and ultimately threaten the American homeland. The conversation also touches on congressional issues including the SAVE Act and the challenges of overcoming a Senate filibuster. In a lighter turn, the hosts dive into a humorous discussion about physical fitness on Capitol Hill, reacting to viral footage of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth bench‑pressing 315 pounds. Senator Mullin, known for his own extreme fitness feats, compares strength metrics across members of Congress and discusses why physical conditioning boosts confidence, mental health, and leadership. Clay Buys a Tesla In a lighter cultural shift, Clay and Buck riff on generational habits, restaurant drink trends, and Costco culture—highlighted by Buck’s wife humorously blaming his Pellegrino obsession for her bulk‑shopping trips. This segues into a forward‑looking discussion on the future of autonomous driving, sparked by Clay’s firsthand experience with Tesla’s self-driving technology. They predict that self‑driving cars will become the global standard within a generation, reducing accidents, lowering insurance costs, ending drunk driving, and transforming how Americans view car ownership and transportation.
