Trump On Iran — And Assassins No Nukes, No Trust, No Fear
The president says a terror sponsor’s navy, air force, and defenses are already gone, sanctions are biting, and a nuke is off the table because the alternative is catastrophe.

Democrats Love Socialism...Why?
Larry Elder explores the growing sentiment among Democrats favoring socialism over capitalism. Elder questions whether this preference stems from a misunderstanding of socialism's true definition, which involves government ownership of the means of production, rather than welfare programs. He cites prominent figures like Thomas Sowell, who argues that President Obama's policies exemplify government control over the economy without private ownership. Elder also discusses how historical figures like Mussolini and Hitler, often embraced by the left, were actually fascists who favored state control over markets. He contrasts this with the Nordic model praised by Bernie Sanders, pointing out that countries like Denmark and Sweden have market economies with extensive welfare states, not socialist ones. Elder raises concerns about emulating systems like the UK's NHS and Canada's healthcare, which face significant public dissatisfaction and long wait times.

PA Gov. Shapiro Expands Executive Power Amid Measles Debate
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is proposing significant changes to the state's health code, aiming to expand his administration's control over public health decisions. This move has sparked debate, particularly concerning the implications for parental rights and potential authoritarian overreach. Investigative reporter Meg Brock discusses how these changes, if enacted, would allow the Department of Health to implement drastic measures such as school-wide mandates without warrants and interfere with parental decisions regarding their children’s health. Brock highlights the historical context, noting that Pennsylvania's stringent COVID-19 measures in 2020 led to widespread discontent. The state’s attempt to rewrite the health code comes amid fears of repeating past mistakes. Shapiro's proposed changes include redefining terms like "mother" to "postpartum individual," a move criticized for its insensitivity and potential to dehumanize personal tragedies. Brock argues that these changes, driven by political motives, could erode public trust in health institutions and further polarize communities. Pennsylvanians are vocal in their opposition, seeing the proposal as an erosion of democratic principles and a slippery slope towards increased governmental control.

Hans Von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at Advancing American Freedom, joins the discussion to provide insights on several pressing legal matters. The conversation begins with the ongoing trial of Lindsey Clancy, a woman accused of murdering her three children. The defense strategy of postpartum psychosis is under scrutiny as the jury weighs the evidence.

The dialogue then shifts to a vaccination case involving the Amish community in New York, where families are threatening to leave the state due to mandatory vaccination requirements. Von Spakovsky discusses the potential legal battle, highlighting the importance of religious freedom and past Supreme Court rulings that support it. Further, the discussion covers the Trump administration's policy on transgender individuals serving in the military, focusing on the criteria for physical and mental fitness.

President Trump’s directive to states to provide voter rolls to the federal government is analyzed, along with the debate over implementing a tracking system for mail-in ballots to prevent fraud and ensure timely delivery.
