Episode Description from the Publisher

Aaron McIntire covers President Trump and Vice President JD Vance pushing back hard against AI companies like Anthropic and OpenAI over recent doomsday warnings, arguing it is a bid for regulatory capture rather than genuine safety concern. He notes Senator Mitch McConnell's 92 day public absence continues even as the Senate returns to session, and covers prosecutor Joe diGenova's abrupt resignation from the Justice Department investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan, who has now been subpoenaed to testify. Aaron covers a Massachusetts family's fight to regain custody of their daughter after they allege a school secretly began her gender transition, and reports that Chinese entities allegedly supplied Iran with satellite images used in a deadly strike on U.S. troops in Jordan. He closes with a moving CBS 60 Minutes account of an F-15 pilot's survival and rescue after being shot down over Iran, a story Aaron calls one of the best he has ever heard.
