Episode Description
Senator Jim Talent returns for the penultimate public edition of Duane's World to break down where the Iran campaign stands at the five-week mark. With 13,000 targets hit, missile launches down from 170 to 3, and the defense industrial base obliterated, the conversation shifts to Phase Two — regime pressure, oil leverage, Strait of Hormuz negotiations, and Trump's pursuit of a deal. Plus, the Senate fight over DHS funding, the SAVE Act, and reconciliation math.
