Then, Sam dives into the biggest stories of the day:
FCC vs. Free Speech – FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and President Trump are threatening to revoke broadcast licenses over "fake news." Sam asks the tough question: Who decides what's fake? And what happens when government censorship comes from both sides of the aisle?
Iran War Escalation & the Strait of Hormuz – Despite claims of victory, the U.S. is deploying 2,500 more Marines, additional warships, and demanding seven nations help secure the critical oil route. Sam breaks down the contradictions between Trump's optimistic messaging and the military buildup on the ground.
Gas Prices Out of Control – With the Strait of Hormuz disrupted and summer approaching, Sam predicts gas prices aren't coming down anytime soon — and asks why his predictions are called "fake news" while the administration's are not.
Marine Veteran Dragged from Senate Hearing – Shocking footage of Brian McGinnis, a Marine veteran and former Green Party candidate, being forcibly removed from a U.S. Senate hearing after protesting the Iran war. His arm was broken in the process.
TSA Chaos & the DHS Blame Game – Both parties created the Department of Homeland Security, yet both blame each other for funding failures. Sam asks: Do we even need this bloated bureaucracy?
The "Looks Maxing" Craze – A disturbing social media trend has young men breaking their own bones to achieve "perfect" facial features. Sam pushes back with a message of self-worth and faith.
McDonald's $3-$4 Menu, Trump's $6.5B Fortune & Gen Z Ditching Social Media – Economic reality hits Main Street while billionaires thrive, but there's a silver lining: Gen Z is returning to real-world hobbies like sewing and gardening.
Broadcasting live from the Rocky Mountains, this is the news the networks refuse to use.
