There is a toggle that shows all in pricing, but it is buried where almost nobody will find it, and we make the case it belongs right on the initial search screen. Mark also found something stranger, the same hotel priced 10 to 15 dollars differently between his account and his wife's, which opens a real conversation about personalized pricing in the age of AI. On the hotel side, Hilton charged him roughly $280 a night for rooms he booked entirely on points, a good reminder to always check your folio before you leave. Then we get into whether premium economy is good enough for a 13 hour flight home from Seoul, why the footrest works great if you are short and terribly if you are tall, and how the snobbery in this hobby has quietly faded as award space has dried up. Plus Mark's 75,000 point Aeroplan booking to see Wrexham, the transfer bonuses ending this month, and the Virgin points to AMC popcorn trick that finally wore Shawn down. Let us know in the comments whether you would take the nonstop in premium economy or connect in business.

Delta launched a basic first class following United, stripping out seat selection, upgrades, and same day changes while almost certainly charging you the same, and we explain why it is just a way to make you pay more for what you already got. The good news is United is putting a blocked empty middle seat with its own tray on its A321XLRs, a European style setup that saves them a flight attendant and that we would happily book over regular first, and Emirates is rolling out a folding UDream headrest that could finally make sleeping in economy possible. We also cover the partnership madlibs of the week, Hilton with Explora cruises, Japan Airlines with Marriott Bonvoy, and Air Canada Aeroplan with World of Hyatt, and what each is actually worth. We close with a genuinely useful one, Wyndham doubling its Caesars transfer limit to 60,000 points through September 11th, which is a great way to rescue points before Wyndham's brutal four year expiration hits. Let us know in the comments if a better headrest would get you to fly economy.

Bonnie Campagnuolo, Global Brand Head at Embassy Suites by Hilton, sat down with Glenn on the rooftop of the Asheville property to explain how the brand is winning in the all-suites category — and why developers keep choosing it. The brand's "kit of parts" approach gives developers real flexibility. Build 150 keys in a small market or 500 keys in Nashville. Beach resort or urban downtown. Every property adapts to local demand while preserving the elements that made Embassy Suites Embassy Suites: two-room suites, breakfast omelets, evening reception. The Asheville rooftop, which is Michelin-recommended and busy seven nights a week, is one example of what the kit of parts makes possible. Where the brand is really evolving: food and beverage. Once an amenity, now a profitability engine. Rooftop restaurants, elevated meetings and events catering, and full-service dining give developers a first step into full-service without full-service complexity. That's why the pipeline is holding in a difficult development environment — with new properties opening across the U.S. and internationally in Africa, Doha, Dubai, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. And when Glenn asked what makes it all work? Not the buildings. Not the corporate strategy. The general managers. Visit embassysuites.com.

The Award Travel 101 crew kicked off Episode 181 by discussing one of the week's hottest travel deals: Norse Atlantic's $118 one-way fare from Orlando to London Gatwick. While the price grabbed plenty of attention, the hosts reminded listeners to look beyond the headline fare, noting Norse's low-cost model means extra fees for amenities that many travelers expect. They also covered several major developments in the points and miles world, including American Airlines quietly increasing award prices on certain Japan Airlines partner flights, an enhanced World of Hyatt credit card welcome offer, a wave of valuable Amex Offers for hotels and travel, and Marriott's latest award pricing increase. Angie and Cameron also shared updates on their own points-earning progress and upcoming travel plans, including schedule changes, hotel decisions, and new credit card bonuses.The main discussion centered on whether booking hotels directly with points is still the best strategy as hotel loyalty programs continue to devalue their currencies. Using real-world examples from Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt, the hosts compared direct award bookings against Chase Travel, Capital One Travel, Citi Travel, and American Express Travel. In many cases, travel portals—especially when paired with annual travel credits, Points Boost, Fine Hotels + Resorts, or The Edit benefits—required significantly fewer transferable points than booking directly, particularly for Marriott and Hilton stays. Hyatt remained the notable exception, where transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards to Hyatt often continued to provide the strongest value. The episode concluded by encouraging listeners to think beyond traditional award bookings, weigh elite benefits and earnings when comparing options, and wrapped up with a practical international travel tip: always pay in the local currency when using a credit card abroad and avoid Euronet ATMs, which typically offer poor exchange rates.Episode Links:American Partner awards increaseHyatt personal card increased offerAmex Hotel OffersMarriott award rates are increasingWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our Late Summer 2026 Meetup in Milwaukee now. award.travel/mke2026Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

Die gesin van die EFF in Tshwane se vermoorde sekretaresse en verkiesingskoördineerder, Monicca Dube, het onthul daar was vorige sluipmoordpogings op haar. Haar man, Hilton, glo meer mense is betrokke as die 35-jarige verdagte wat na verwagting vandag in die Landdroshof in Cullinan verskyn. Dube is verlede maand in haar huis in Wallmannsthal doodgeskiet. Haar man sê die inhegtenisneming bring hoop aan 'n gemeenskap waar baie moorde steeds onopgelos is:

This week's Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report looks ahead to Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo weekend with a mix of inshore, nearshore, and offshore tactics from Capt. Patric Garmeson of Ugly Fishing and Capt. King Marchand of Capt. Mike's Fishing. Butch Thierry opens the show with a reminder to be careful during one of the busiest boating weekends of the summer, especially with pop-up storms, offshore runs, night traffic, and tournament pressure all in play. Capt. Patric Garmeson kicks things off with a detailed inshore and nearshore report from the Dauphin Island area. He covers summertime trout, redfish, flounder, sheepshead, black drum, puppy drum, Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, cobia, red snapper, sharks, and jack crevalle, while stressing the importance of changing tactics instead of getting locked into one species or one presentation. Patric explains how he's using croakers, shrimp, baitfish, popping corks, free-lined baits, Z-Man paddletails, Slick Juniors, and heavier jig heads around deeper structure. He also breaks down how thermoclines can show up on electronics and why fish may hold above that low-oxygen bottom layer, making it important to adjust bait depth and presentation. Nearshore, Patric shares how chunking pogies has produced snapper, cobia, kings, Spanish, and other bonus fish, and why small circle hooks, hidden hooks, steady chum lines, live croakers, bite tippets, and drift lines can all help anglers get more bites. Capt. King Marchand closes the show from the Lady Ann with a big-game-focused rodeo report. He explains how tournament fishing changes the mindset from filling the box to targeting winning fish, and why he and the Capt. Mike's Fishing crew are planning to focus on tuna, dolphin, marlin, and wahoo rather than trying to cover every rodeo category. King talks through tackle upgrades, live-baiting blackfin tuna for blue marlin, trolling big lures, chunking and live-baiting for tuna, looking for grass lines, watching Hilton's Realtime Navigator, and deciding when to stay on fish versus when to leave a rig. He also covers offshore safety, storm strategy, cobia around buoys and structure, a tougher snapper bite around heavy bait, and the blue-and-white Islander behind a bird as one of his confidence baits for blue marlin.

Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) Recap Larry dedicates a significant portion of the episode to the history, founding, and impact of the Texas Wildlife Association: Recent Event: Larry recently returned from the 41st anniversary TWA convention, which was held at the JW Marriott in San Antonio. Founding History: TWA was established back in 1985. Larry started the organization alongside his friends Murphy Ray and Gary Machen. The Catalyst: The group was formed after David Palmer, an assistant director of law enforcement, warned them about proposed Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) changes that would adversely affect private landowners. Land Ownership: The founders recognized a critical need to protect landowner rights because 95% to 99% of Texas land is privately owned. The "Broom Closet" Meeting: Initially, TPWD officials dismissed their concerns. The officials sent them to meet in Room 232, which turned out to be a broom closet. Official Formation: In response to being dismissed, they called a meeting at the Y.O. Hilton in Kerrville. Out of 50 people invited, 49 attended to form the "Wildlife Association of Texas" (later TWA). McLean Bowman was elected as the organization's first president. Conservation Impact: TWA has driven successful conservation initiatives, including the Texas Big Game Awards program. They also created the Texas Youth Hunting organization, which has introduced roughly 50,000 children to hunting. Auction Items: During the recent convention's auction, Larry sold one of his Savage Model 99 rifles and a brown western hat. Larry also outlines the history of DSC and details several upcoming events for the organization: DSC History: Larry explains that the Dallas Safari Club split from Safari Club International (SCI) around 1982. Summer Expo Location: Due to space limitations at the K Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, the expo previously moved to Atlanta and will eventually move to Houston. However, this year's summer show is being hosted at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas. Event Dates: The DSC Summer Expo will take place on July 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 26th. DSC Foundation Gala: The gala is scheduled for the Saturday night of the expo, July 25th. Awards: The DSC Legacy Award is going to Steve Hornady. Additionally, Dr. Mike Arnold is being recognized as the DSC Foundation Educator of the Year. Leadership: Larry highlights the work of Russell Stacy, Mary Edith, and Kaylee. He directs listeners to DSCF.org for more information. Bonus Content: Larry announces a new bonus video podcast that will focus on real-world field content. Auctions: He also mentions online hunting auctions as an additional platform for listeners to engage with. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“Someone said, oh, you look like Steve Bannon, and I love you for that… No, I just shaved my hair and lost some pounds.” — Kaya Genç on Trumpism's global fanbase The NATO circus rumbled into the Turkish capital of Ankara this week resembling more of a gun show than an alliance summit. Ringmaster Donald J. Trump promised Recep Tayyip Erdoğan the F-35s and lifted the very sanctions that Trump himself had imposed. Erdogan handed out pistols to the assembled leaders — with poor old Keir Starmer (no Winston Churchill) leaving his at the airport. And observing all these clowns from Istanbul was the Turkish novelist and essayist Kaya Genç. As a contributor to the anthology How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump, Genç is a keen America watcher. He first set foot in the United States in January 2017, stumbling into New York City's protests against Trump 1.0's Muslim-ban. What seemed temporary — Trump as a bizarre historical aberration — looked to Erdogan-literate Kaya Genç like an operating manual for 21st century populist authoritarianism. Turkey, Genç argues, has spent a century Americanizing itself. First with the 20th century Marshall Plan, the highways, the Hilton hotels, and finally an American-style executive presidency operating on the politics of referendum. Now, he says, the whole world — from Turkey to France and Britain — is living with the consequences of 21st century Americanization. Like a more functional NATO, right-wing populists operate like an international alliance. Erdogan, Trump, Meloni, Le Pen and Farage are like a club in which projecting strength at summits buys impunity at home. And this club has a house style. Turkish right-wing columnists, Genç reports, deploy Michael Corleone on their X banners — exactly David Thomson's warning earlier this week about Hollywood's glorification of on-screen violence. So, in a way, America observers like Kaya Genç got a sneak preview of Trump's America in movies like The Godfather. First as cinema, then as life. From both Turkey and Russia with love. Five Takeaways •       NATO: The Club of the Mighty. The night before the summit, activists were rounded up in Ankara — LGBTQ rights defenders, labor unionists, journalists — as threats to NATO security. In Turkish civil society, Genç explains, NATO doesn't represent the liberal world order; it represents the mighty, and has since the writers of the 1960s. The summit itself was a military passion show: jets overhead, revolvers gifted among the attendees, and a host country whose ruling politicians no longer hide that arms exports — including the drones Ukraine used so effectively — are now the mission of the Turkish economy. •       Trump: A Star Among Right-Wing Voters Everywhere. In India, a chubbier, longer-haired Genç was once told: you look like Steve Bannon, and I love you for that. The Turkish media savaged Biden but forgives Trump everything — Netanyahu is the villain of the Turkish press, while Trump speaks the language. Not Turkish (though he tried a phrase): the language of the presidential system. The Turkish right's America has always been selective — yes to the death penalty and gun ownership, no to labor rights, free expression, and the trans movement — an instinct as old as the poet Mehmet Akif Ersoy's advice to copy Germany's industriousness and leave out the decadence. •       Living the Consequences of Americanization. Turkey began its republic in the 1920s on the European model — parliament, proportional voices for an ethnically diverse country. After the Marshall Plan, it re-forged itself on the American one: highways, Hilton hotels, burger joints, and eventually an American-style executive presidency, approved by referendum over the objections of people like Genç. That's why Trump 1.0 read so differently in the two countries: in New York it looked like an exception to be fought off; in Ankara it looked like how American politics works — and something to imitate. •       Populists Learn Like Large Language Models. Did Erdogan create the model, or is Trump teaching Erdogan? Neither, says Genç: it's a dialogue — right-wing populism learning from itself the way AI learns from language models. The AKP ran a Gramscian culture war through the institutions; Meloni, Le Pen, and Farage apply the cosmetic soft brush that makes fascist-rooted politics presentable. Join the club, project strength at the summit, and whatever you do domestically stops mattering. Putin, notably, is not in the curriculum: Turkey is returning its S-400s to get the F-35s, and Russia is becoming a footnote. •       The Hologram and the Pushback. Ekrem Imamoglu — the Istanbul mayor Genç profiles in The Dial as the hologram candidate — won the city with socialist municipalism, and the skeptics who warned it would alienate the pious were simply wrong. Soft liberalism, the faith Genç himself held since the nineties, is disappearing; the pushback is finding its heroes in dead poets — Rosa Luxemburg, and Sevgi Soysal, whose novel Walking is out in English from New York Review Books. From Istanbul to Middle America, Mamdani to AOC, Genç's advice to the left is the same: don't fragment — conquer the big parties. About the Guest Kaya Genç is a novelist and essayist from Istanbul. He is the author of Under the Shadow: Rage and Revolution in Modern Turkey and The Lion and the Nightingale, and his writing appears in The Dial, The Guardian, Foreign Policy, Index on Censorship, and Jewish Quarterly. He is a contributor to How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump (The New Press, June 2026), edited by The Dial's Madeleine Schwartz. References: •       How We See It: The World Looks at America in the Age of Trump, edited by Madeleine Schwartz (The New Press, June 2026).

Amy MacIver is joined by Living Jazz legend, Hilton Schilder, to discuss his upcoming shows at the Brass Bell. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists.

This is a Vintage episode from 2010.This show was recorded in 2010 and discusses a high fructose corn syrup study in rats. The current human evidence does not support the Princeton rat-study implication that high fructose corn syrup is uniquely more fattening than sucrose, but excess added sugar in our food supply, as well as obesity, are still of concern today. Why This Episode MattersFred Harvey built one of America's first national hospitality systems, proving that restaurants could scale without abandoning quality, standards, or service.The Harvey organization changed railroad dining from a punchline into a disciplined operation built on fresh ingredients, trained staff, speed, and consistency.Stephen Fried's story connects restaurants to railroads, tourism, the Grand Canyon, Native American art markets, and the development of the American West.Mark Pascal and Francis Schott draw clear connections between Harvey's 19th-century service systems and the invisible cues still used in fine dining today.BanterMark and Francis begin with a discussion of a then-new Princeton study on high fructose corn syrup and weight gain. Francis uses the study to talk about how new food ingredients enter the American marketplace, while Mark argues that the rise of high fructose corn syrup seems difficult to separate from broader changes in the American diet and health.The ConversationStephen Fried joins The Restaurant Guys to discuss Appetite for America, his book about Fred Harvey and the railroad hospitality empire that helped shape dining in the American West. After years of eating terrible food while working around the railroads, Harvey began building trackside restaurants along the Santa Fe Railway. What started as a practical solution for hungry passengers became a national hospitality organization built on fresh ingredients, systems, and service.Stephen explains how Harvey's restaurants served high-quality meals during short train stops, using railroad logistics and refrigerator cars to bring fresh fish, steaks, imported ingredients, and regional specialties to places where good dining was rare.The conversation also explores the Harvey Girls, the trained female workforce that became central to the company's identity and service model. Their precision, speed, and hospitality helped define the Fred Harvey standard.Stephen also discusses the company's role in building American tourism, especially at the Grand Canyon and throughout the Southwest, and addresses its complex relationship with Native American art and culture. After the interview, Mark  and Francis reflect on the “magic” of restaurant service: the invisible signals, staff communication, and hospitality systems that make guests feel known without exposing the machinery behind the experience.Guest BioStephen Fried is an award-winning investigative journalist, essayist, author, and adjunct professor at Columbia University. His book Appetite for America tells the story of Fred Harvey, the entrepreneur whose restaurants, hotels, dining rooms, retail operations, and tourism ventures helped define American hospitality along the Santa Fe Railway and across the West.Timestamps00:00 Mark and Francis discuss a Princeton study on high fructose corn syrup.08:00 Stephen Fried joins the show to talk about Appetite for America and Fred Harvey's railroad hospitality empire.13:00 Fresh ingredients, regional cooking, refrigerator cars, and the surprising sophistication of Harvey's menus.17:00 How the company expanded into hotels, retail, dining cars, the Grand Canyon, and American tourism.21:00 Fred Harvey's relationship with Native American art, commerce, and Southwestern tourism.25:00 The hidden difficulty of running hospitality businesses and the systems Harvey used to maintain standards.33:00 The Harvey Girls, women in hospitality, 37:00 The “cup code,” table signals, fresh coffee, fast service, and the invisible systems behind great hospitality.46:00 Why the Harvey empire failed to become the next Howard Johnson or Hilton.50:00 Mark and Francis reflect on restaurant tells, hospitality magic, and America's contribution to restaurant service.InfoStephen's bookAppetite for America: How Visionary Businessman Fred Harvey Built a Railroad Hospitality Empire That Civilized the Wild West Princeton HFCS study & articlehttps://www.princeton.edu/news/2010/03/22/sweet-problem-princeton-researchers-find-high-fructose-corn-syrup-promptshttps://paw.princeton.edu/article/study-high-fructose-corn-syrup-stirs-criticsOprah suedhttps://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/tv/articles/why-us-beef-industry-once-213000339.htmlIf you want a chance to get two tickets to our Bourbon, Beer & Beefsteak and live recording with Sother Teague and Jack McGarry in New Orleans on July 21, 2026,sign up to be a Restaurant Guys Regular (our paid subscribers) here  https://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/ Then email TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com.

The Los Angeles primary elections, held June 2, 2026, were the source of great debate and not a few surprises. In this episode, David Myers, in his farewell episode as founding host of The History-Policy Podcast,  interviews longtime LA public official and frequent LCHP collaborator Zev Yaroslavsky to discuss what the primary elections tell us about California's political climate and what the future might hold. The discussion begins with Zev's observation that inflation, cost of living, and the high price of gasoline have led to discontent throughout California. This sense of frustration played out in the LA primaries, with Republican candidate Steve Hilton advancing to the final two of the California governor's race. Meanwhile, Xavier Becerra set himself apart by refraining from vitriolic attacks on other candidates. Whether Becerra or Hilton can serve as California's chief executive once elected, rather than simply as a legislator, remains to be seen. At the local level, incumbent LA mayor Karen Bass faces surprisingly stiff competition from Councilmember Nithya Raman, whose platform drew attention to the failures, real or perceived, of Bass's tenure. As the general election approaches and preparations for the Summer Olympics in 2028 continue, the trajectory of LA and California overall is very much in question.Read Sueño Incomplete: A History of the Latino Wealth Gap in the United States.Read The Making of a Crisis: A History of Homelessness in Los AngelesZev Yaroslavsky is the Executive Director of the Los Angeles Initiative at the Luskin School of Public Affairs.

In 2023, Zev released a memoir, Zev's Los Angeles: From Boyle Heights to the Halls of Power, in which he reflected on his long career in politics. 

Utah has revoked the operating license of the Springville campus of Provo Canyon School, the residential treatment facility where Paris Hilton says she was abused as a teenager. Hilton called the decision a major victory for survivors who have alleged abuse and neglect at the school for decades.

On this week's Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast: Hotels Edition, Sarah Dandashy and Steve Turk break down a week where the infrastructure of hospitality is being rebuilt from every angle.They open with the news of Mews cutting 15% of its staff and pointing to AI and what that means for hotel operators who depend on its platform. From there, the conversation digs into why extended-stay demand just hit a four-year high while the supply pipeline thins, a setup that could open real pricing power in 2027. They also unpack Hilton's new direct booking connection with Navan that bypasses GDS middlemen, and close with how British Airways, Delta Air Lines, and Cathay Pacific are wiring loyalty programs into concert venues and theaters and what hotels should be taking notes on.

The World Cup's tourism boost is spreading far beyond host cities into markets nobody expected, AI chatbots are bypassing travel brand apps even when fully integrated, and Hilton opens a direct line to corporate travel platform Navan to cut out the middlemen. On today's Skift Daily Briefing, Sarah Dandashy breaks down why the World Cup's ripple effect is reaching markets 60+ miles from any stadium, why being available inside an AI chatbot is not the same as being chosen by one, and how Hilton's direct Navan connection signals that the fight to cut out distribution middlemen is coming for corporate travel next.

"Congress and the public deserve a clear answer about whether the Epstein Estate paid a settlement to an accuser who made serious allegations against Donald Trump, and who was interviewed four times by the FBI."On 24 February 2026, NPR reporter Stephen Fowler published an investigative report comparing the public database of Epstein files released by the DOJ on January 30th with the Ghislaine Maxwell trial evidence index (handed to her defense attorneys in 2021 as part of standard discovery procedures). The two documents do not match.According to the evidence index, the FBI conducted four interviews with a woman in 2019. These interviews produced four sets of written summaries, known as 302 reports, which should have all been included in the January 30th document release. Only one was included, in which she claimed she'd been assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein when she was just 13 years old. The other three were the ones in which this woman - known only as Jane Doe 4 - made credible accusations against the sitting President of the United States...This is a continuation of a series we started last year.

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. Republicans Buy Sneakers Too Clay Travis and Buck Sexton talk about President Donald Trump’s appearance at Madison Square Garden during a New York Knicks game, which Clay and Buck frame as a culturally significant moment in the intersection of sports, politics, and media narratives. They analyze reactions from fans, commentary from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, and broader questions about the NBA’s political activism, arguing that the league may be shifting away from its previously “woke” positioning. The discussion expands into a broader critique of politics in sports, media bias, and public reactions to Trump as a New York figure. Could Steve Hilton Win? Steve Hilton joins the show to provide a detailed update on the California gubernatorial primary, explaining that he is highly confident of securing a top-two finish and advancing to the general election, even as official results remain delayed due to prolonged vote counting across the state. A major focus is the extended timeline for ballot processing in California, with Hilton criticizing the system as inefficient and mismanaged, particularly highlighting rules that allow ballots without clear postmarks to be accepted if they include handwritten dates. The conversation frames these practices as contributing to widespread skepticism around election transparency and trust in the vote-counting process. The discussion then shifts to a key voter ID ballot initiative in California, which Hilton says has strong public support and could be a near-term solution to many of the concerns being raised. The proposal would require government-issued identification for voting, whether in person or by mail, reducing reliance on signature verification processes that currently slow down vote counting. Clay and Buck strongly endorse voter ID laws, arguing they are consistent with requirements for other constitutional rights and would improve election confidence. They also debate the role of absentee and mail-in voting more broadly, suggesting that widespread early in-person voting could replace much of the current mail-based system. Election Integrity Clay and Buck explore campaign spending dynamics, particularly the failure of billionaire Tom Steyer to secure a top-two finish in California despite massive financial investment. This leads to a broader point about the limits of political advertising, with the hosts arguing that even heavy spending cannot overcome weak voter appeal. They also revisit recent national campaigns, suggesting that increased public exposure can sometimes hurt candidates rather than help them. Sen. Tommy Tuberville Clay and Buck react to breaking reports involving Iran and U.S. military tensions, after news surfaces that an American Apache helicopter may have been shot down. The hosts emphasize that President Donald Trump has indicated a potential U.S. response, pending investigation into whether the incident was hostile action, mechanical failure, or friendly fire. Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville joins the show to weigh in on the escalating situation, warning that if Iran was responsible, consequences are likely. This segment highlights broader U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions and national security concerns, underscoring the potential for rapid escalation in the Middle East. The conversation with Senator Tuberville shifts into 2026 midterm election outlook and Senate control, where he predicts Republicans are likely to maintain their majority but expresses frustration with stalled legislative priorities. A major focus is the SAVE America Act and election security legislation, with Tuberville criticizing fellow Republicans who opposed advancing the bill. He emphasizes concerns about voter fraud, election integrity, and inconsistent vote-counting standards across states, arguing that federal action is necessary to ensure confidence in U.S. elections. The discussion also dives into the ongoing debate about the Senate filibuster, with Tuberville and the hosts suggesting Democrats would eliminate it if they regain power, raising stakes for current legislative battles. They also touch on college sports controversies and NIL-era challenges, as Tuberville reacts to a controversial court ruling allowing a college quarterback accused of gambling violations to continue playing. He argues that the decision reflects a broader erosion of accountability in college athletics, pointing to issues like sports betting, transfer rules, and commercialization of college sports as threats to the integrity of the system.
