BREAKING: Is An Iran Deal Imminent? Trump Calls Off Strikes

We've Hammered Iran... We Need to Continue

Josh opens the show with a fiery case for why Congress must pass the SAVE America Act immediately, pointing to the ongoing vote-counting chaos in California, where ballots are still being counted more than a week after Election Day. Josh argues that Americans deserve election results they can trust and questions how one of the nation's largest states continues to struggle to deliver timely outcomes. Joining the program is Joel Pollak, Opinion Editor at California Post, who provides the latest on California's vote count and examines whether the outcome was driven by election fraud, controversial ballot-harvesting practices, or a system that many voters believe lacks transparency. Pollak and Josh discuss what these delays mean for election integrity and whether reforms are urgently needed. Later, Josh turns to Iran as the United States launches another round of strikes against the regime. He breaks down President Donald Trump's latest comments and argues that the recent military action reveals something critical about the President's approach to foreign policy: strength, deterrence, and a willingness to act when America's interests are on the line. Josh explains why he believes the administration's actions are sending a clear message to both Tehran and America's adversaries around the world.

WASHINGTON, June 8 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump is bringing his affinity for mixed martial arts to the White House, staging a night of cage fighting on the South Lawn on June 14 — his 80th birthday — as part of celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence. The seven-bout Ultimate Fighting Championship event, dubbed "UFC Freedom 250," will blend sport with political spectacle, highlighting Trump's long-standing ties to a league whose leaders and many of its fans have backed him for more than a decade. WHY UFC? Trump's alliance with UFC dates to the early 2000s, when he agreed to host events at his since-bankrupt Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, as other venues spurned the sport. Trump "gave us our start when nobody would talk to us,” UFC CEO Dana White told Fox News in 2018. White became a close ally, using the sport's popularity — particularly with younger male fans — to support Trump's campaigns dating back to his first run in 2016. In 2019, Trump became the first sitting president to attend a UFC match. His appearances have become part of the spectacle, often featuring a highly choreographed walk-in and ringside seats. SOUTH LAWN CAGE MATCH Now Trump is bringing the fighting to the White House. The South Lawn has been outfitted with an octagon-shaped cage and hulking metal arena structure called "the Claw" by White. Trump suggested holding such an event while ringside with White at a fight days after his 2024 election win, Time magazine reported. The seven bouts on June 14 will feature eight Americans and six others from four countries, all men. The main event will feature lightweight champion Ilia Topuria of Georgia defending his title belt against American challenger Justin Gaethje. The pair will enter the arena from the Oval Office, White told the magazine. Weigh-ins will be held at the Lincoln Memorial. Two Washington-area residents filed a lawsuit on June 6 asking a U.S. judge in Washington to halt the event, claiming it violates National Park Service rules barring special events such as sports at such monuments, and that construction of the large arena structure requires congressional authorization. The White House called the case an “obstructionist, baseless, and dilatory lawsuit.” THE CROWD Trump has touted the fights as the "hardest ticket" to come by of his presidency. Trump, his family and senior government officials will sit around the ring, and approximately 4,000 seats are being installed on the lawn for invited guests. The White House deferred questions about the guest list to UFC, which did not immediately respond. A fourth of the tickets are reserved for active military members. Troops must meet the military's physical standards and wear their short-sleeve dress uniforms to attend, the Washington Post reported. White has invited numerous celebrities, including Adam Sandler, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Tom Brady, according to Time. The UFC expects about 85,000 fans to gather outside the White House perimeter to watch on big screens. THE BILL AND THE BUSINESS The White House has said the UFC is paying for the event. UFC parent company TKO Group Holdings expects to spend $60 million on production and fighter payouts, said company president Mark Shapiro, according to Sports Business Journal. Shapiro and White have said the cost is worth the publicity. Sponsors include Crypto.com, a cryptocurrency company that in August 2025 announced a strategic partnership with Trump Media, the company that runs the president's social media platform, Truth Social. The event will be broadcast by Paramount media company, which began a $7.7 billion deal with UFC in February. Paramount's mega-deal to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery for $110 billion is undergoing regulatory review by Trump's administration. In May, Trump's financial disclosure form of thousands of recent stock trades showed a March 25 purchase between $15,001 and $50,000 in TKO Group Holdings while Trump promoted the White House event. The White House referred questions about the trades to the Trump Organization, the president's company. A spokesperson for the Trump Organization said Trump’s investment holdings are managed by independent third-party financial institutions. "Neither President Trump, his family, nor The Trump Organization has any role in selecting, directing, approving, influencing or soliciting specific investments," the spokesperson said in a statement.

WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities were responding on Thursday to what appeared to be a large tracing of "8647" into the grounds of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. A Reuters photographer atop the Washington Monument saw the apparent tracing in the grass near the World War Two Memorial shortly before officials arrived. It shows the numbers eight, six and seven, but a four is not clearly defined. U.S. Park Police and members of the National Guard were responding to the scene. The term "8647" has been adopted by opponents of President Donald Trump as a protest against his administration. Trump allies and the U.S. Department of Justice have said it could be interpreted as a call to violence. It references the slang term "86," originating in the restaurant industry meaning to expel or "get rid" of something, and Trump as the 47th U.S. president. It was unclear how the markings in the grass were made. In those areas the grass is brown, in contrast to the surrounding green grass.

WASHINGTON, June 11 (Reuters) - A hazardous materials incident put the Pentagon on lockdown on Thursday as fire officials investigated the air quality issue, defense and fire officials said. "The Pentagon has sophisticated systems to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants. Those systems have detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures until we determine its significance," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in an email. "The Department is executing standard protection protocols, including a shelter-in-place order for the affected area. Response teams are in place and ready to support building occupants."The building was under lockdown, with people evacuated from several floors, CNN reported, citing unidentified sources. Floors two through five in corridors four through seven have been locked down, CNN said, citing two sources. Another source reported seeing emergency responders were wearing full gas masks and chemical protection suits, CNN said. A message sent by the Pentagon’s security team said additional testing was needed to determine the source of the problem, according to CNN. The five-sided Pentagon building, hit during the Sept. 11, 2001 al Qaeda attacks is one of the world's largest office buildings.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday he has called off new military strikes on Iran, hours after threatening to escalate the war. Trump had threatened major strikes on Iran and to seize control of its oil and gas industries as escalating attacks between the countries pushed the Middle East closer to full-scale war. The threats to seize Iran's Kharg Island oil terminal came after the U.S and Iran traded strikes for a second straight day. Trump told Fox News that while he would prefer to take over Kharg Island, he's not sure that “America has the stomach for it.” Iran’s parliamentary speaker warned on social media that an “endless quagmire” could result.

Liberal media is already bashing America over the World Cup before it starts. Meanwhile, Democrats’ defense of Graham Platner and his Nazi tattoo reveals that their “Republicans are Nazis” rhetoric is just partisan theater.

Mike discussed the escalating Iran crisis and his demand that Republicans immediately pass the SAVE Act to fix the mail-in ballot problems exposed in California’s primaries and secure American elections.
