Episode Description from the Publisher

Iran deal terms, Keir Starmer, Mauricio Ruffy, B-52 crash, and Gavin Newsom headline today's A.M. Update. Trump says the full Iran deal text drops after Friday's signing ceremony in Switzerland, and Andrew Colvet of TPUSA reports from an admin briefing that the framework is basically if Iran acts like a normal country it gets treated like one, though the nuclear enrichment details are still unresolved. A B-52 Stratofortress crashes shortly after takeoff from Edwards Air Force Base in California's Mojave Desert, and an FA-18 Hornet from MCAS Miramar goes down off the Washington coast during routine training, with the pilot ejecting safely. Gavin Newsom claims the DOJ is investigating him because he is considering a presidential run, and Aaron says he finds it very rich coming from that party specifically. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer proposes banning social media for all children under 16, and Aaron agrees with the stated goal while pointing out that the real mechanism, mandatory adult digital ID verification, tells you what this is actually about. Mauricio Ruffy knocks out Michael Chandler in the first round at UFC Freedom 250 on the White House South Lawn, then quotes John 3:16 to the crowd and proposes to his girlfriend. Aaron closes with a viral X post listing everything that has gone right under Trump that doomers are ignoring, and a challenge to level your perspective before you despair.
