If you want to understand what's really happening in Iran — and what comes next — this is the conversation you cannot miss. Former Missouri Senator Jim Talent joins the Marc Cox Morning Show to break down exactly where the Iran standoff stands, why Trump seized a once-in-a-generation military and economic advantage, and what happens if a deal doesn't materialize — including the nuclear option of clearing the Strait of Hormuz for a final checkmate. Then Jim turns to Texas, where Ken Paxton is already unloading on James Tallarico — a candidate who thinks there are six biological sexes, calls the American flag complicated, and proudly embraces the radical left label. Jim Talent puts it simply: you'd have to go all the way back to Lloyd Bentsen to find a Texas Democrat who actually represented Texas values. The Marc Cox Morning Show brings you the sharpest minds in conservative politics — and this segment is Exhibit A. Don't miss a word.

Former Senator, Tennessee Governor, and Education Secretary Lamar Alexander joins the Chuck Toddcast to discuss his new memoir The Education of a Senator and an offer his extraordinary perspective on American politics shaped by five decades in public life — including the surreal experience of being sworn in as governor under emergency circumstances because his predecessor was openly selling pardons for cash and eventually went to prison for selling whiskey licenses. (For listeners absorbing the news of Trump's modern pardon market, the historical echoes are impossible to miss.) Alexander shares stories that capture an entirely different era: how he had to govern in a bipartisan manner from day one to handle the scandal he inherited, how an inquiry surfaced about springing MLK's killer from prison, and how Southern governors of his generation had to drag their states out of the 1950s and into something resembling modernity. Alexander argues that style matters enormously in politics — and reveals that he predicted Trump's presidency years before it happened, because he saw clearly that American politics was being consumed by money and media in ways that disincentivized actual legislating. He walks through his theory of education reform, defends "No Child Left Behind"'s standards-based approach, and offers the wonkish but fascinating idea he once pitched to Reagan: have states and the federal government swap administration of Medicaid and K-12 education. The conversation broadens into Alexander's diagnosis of what's gone wrong with American politics and the path back. He argues that partisan primaries have created more ideologically extreme candidates than the system can absorb, and that people will always find ways around campaign finance limits — meaning the real fix has to be structural. Alexander offers a remarkable assessment of recent presidents: governor is the best preparation for the presidency, Carter didn't understand Washington when he arrived but Clinton did, and George W. Bush was the most "normal guy" of the modern era. He reflects on his famous healthcare debates with Obama (both gave each other notes afterwards rather than playing for spectacle), shares his concerns about state budgets becoming dangerously reliant on vice taxes, and asks the question no Republican can answer honestly anymore: could you propose raising the gas tax in today's GOP? Alexander is candid about Trump's mixed legacy — the party had become ossified and Trump did break it open, but pardoning the January 6th rioters was a profound error because the peaceful transfer of power is the single most important element of American democracy. He warns that we lack genuine two-party competition right now, that the next Republican nominee needs a fundamentally different temperament than Trump, and that the lack of character and morality in modern politics may be dissuading exactly the kind of people we most need to run.

Over the last few years, we've had several opportunities to chat with former state lawmaker Graig Meyer of Orange County during the four terms he served in the state House and two in the state Senate. Recently, however, Meyer decided to leave elected office to become the executive director of one of the state's most important nonprofit advocacy organizations, the North Carolina Justice Center. It won't be an easy task. Meyer assumes his new role at a time in which many of the positions the Justice Center espouses – progressive tax policy, a stronger safety net, fair treatment for immigrants, tough consumer protection laws – are not in vogue at the state legislature. Nonetheless, as we learned in our most recent conversation, Meyer is energized by the new challenge and optimistic about the organization's prospects for policy success at a time of big change at the General Assembly. Click here to listen to the full interview with former state Senator Graig Meyer.

We avoid thinking about death until it forces its way into the room. But what happens when a husband and father is suddenly told he has ninety days to live? In this episode, John Heinen and Devin Schadt examine the striking story of former Nebraska senator Ben Sasse, who recently revealed a stage-four pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Drawing from his candid interview reflecting on that moment, they explore how the ancient Christian discipline of memento mori, remembering death, cuts through ambition, noise, and distraction to reveal what actually matters in a man's life. Sasse speaks openly about regret, fatherhood, selfishness, and the urgency of redeeming time when the clock is no longer theoretical. John and Devin unpack his reflections through the lens of the Church's tradition, from Sirach's warning to “remember your last end” to the teaching of saints like Jerome, Augustine, and Alphonsus Liguori, while confronting the questions most men quietly push aside: what would change if you truly believed your days were numbered?

Former Senator & Secretary of State Hillary Clinton testified before a Congressional hearing regarding the Epstein files. While it was supposed to be a closed hearing, a photo leak allegedly originating with Rep. Boebert disrupted the day's testimony. Clinton claims she did not recall any occasion of meeting Epstein personally but recounted several charity events that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, traveled to and/or attended with Epstein. The Clintons are being forced to testify vs. threats of congressional contempt. President Clinton testifies today, the first time a former president has been required to testify -- raising the question of when/if current President Trump will be subject to the same compulsion.

A few weeks ago, What A Day took a trip to the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival in Seattle, Washington, for a conversation with former Democratic Minnesota Senator Al Franken.His path to politics is a fascinating one. He transitioned from being a writer and performer on Saturday Night Live, a role he held from 1975 to 1980 and from 1985 to 1995, to a prominent figure in the political arena.Franken's journey took a significant turn when he ran for the Senate in 2008 against Republican Norm Coleman. In a nail-biting race, he emerged victorious by a mere 312 votes, marking one of the closest winning margins in Senate history. Coleman's concession didn't come until June 2009, a testament to the intensity of the race. Franken served in the Senate until 2018. Show Notes:Check out the Cascade PBS Ideas Festival – https://tinyurl.com/mrxmy45vSubscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

I am honored to release this tribute episode to my late father-in-law Senator Orrin Hatch. He was a true gentleman and lived his life with integrity and respect for others. He fought for what he knew was right and wasn't influenced by party politics. He showed us how to mix church and state and never backed away from his faith. His ability to work across party lines made him one of the most powerful United States senators in history. His devotion to doing the right thing despite the political pressures is inspiring. His dedication to his country, family, and living the principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ became his legacy. I am so grateful for the three decades, he influenced my life for good. He loved me and everyone around him and knew how to support and love and lift others. I hope you enjoy this inspiring episode that is a tribute to the incredible man he was, known to many as the gentleman of the Senate.❤️
