Sanctions, Search Warrants & the Talarico Flu

-Newsmax Hotline: Former National Security Council Chief of Staff Fred Fleitz joins Rob to discuss Iran's struggling economy, Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, the growing importance of drones in modern warfare, Trump's proposed Russian diesel deal, and prospects for peace in Ukraine. Apparently, even international diplomacy now comes with a fuel surcharge.

-Rob examines reports of a federal raid involving Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and allegations surrounding immigration documents, finances, and Minnesota fraud investigations. Democrats cry political persecution while Rob wonders why their enthusiasm for FBI raids seems to disappear when the address changes from Mar-a-Lago.

-Newsmax Hotline: RNC Youth Advisory Council veteran and author Brilyn Hollyhand joins Rob to discuss the Omar investigation, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, Republican midterm prospects, and James Talarico's campaign disappearance. He also promotes Make America Talk Again, a book about restoring political conversation in a country where everyone apparently prefers yelling.

-Rob examines Senate polling scenarios suggesting Republicans could outperform expectations and maintain control of the chamber. While the political establishment studies spreadsheets and margin-of-error calculations, Rob prepares for what he believes could be another spectacular polling faceplant.

-James Talarico's mysterious absence returns to the spotlight as Rob questions the candidate's explanation that he simply has the flu. With conflicting accounts, campaign questions, and another Jim Gossett musical parody, Rob concludes that Texas politics may have discovered a brand-new communicable disease: the Talarico Flu.
