The national security meeting was scheduled. The attack plans were ready. Then Trump called it off — again. Is this masterful negotiating leverage or a president who praises his military but keeps finding reasons not to use it? At some point Iran stops believing the threat is real and that is a very dangerous place to be. Then Luigi Mangione was back in a New York courtroom today where a state judge ruled some evidence is out — but the gun and the manifesto are in. The trial just got a whole lot more interesting. Both stories today, no sugarcoating.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tom-sullivan-show--6632619/support.
The Beijing summit is over and the scorecard is empty. Great food. Lovely airport ceremonies. Zero agreements. Trump needed Iran help from China and left empty handed. Xi wanted movement on Taiwan and got none. The CEOs who tagged along for the trade mission are heading home with nothing to show for the trip. Meanwhile Republicans have been promising gas prices will drop like a rock since February 28th — and that promise is aging about as well as last month's leftovers. At what point do hollow promises at the pump become a real political problem? All of it today, straight and honest.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tom-sullivan-show--6632619/support.
Trump went to Beijing for Iran. Xi greeted him with Taiwan. Day one of the summit made one thing crystal clear — these two leaders are not on the same page and may not even be reading the same book. Xi was aggressive on Taiwan from the opening bell while Trump needs Chinese cooperation on Iran to break a military and diplomatic stalemate back home. Are these two issues even tradeable? Will day two find any real common ground? Meanwhile import prices are climbing fast — fuel costs and tariffs are the culprits and American consumers are absorbing every bit of it. The geopolitics and the economics are the same story today and we connect all of it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tom-sullivan-show--6632619/support.
Kevin Warsh just got confirmed as Fed Chairman and his first challenge is an inflation surge that is not slowing down — rates may go higher before they go lower. China is getting all the attention as a potential Iran dealmaker but do not count on Beijing to do Washington any favors. And the ban on Chinese cars? We have seen this story before. In the 1970s Detroit tried to block Japanese imports too. Toyota and Honda made American cars better. Are Chinese automakers about to do the same thing — and are we too afraid of the competition to let it happen? History is rhyming loudly today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tom-sullivan-show--6632619/support.
China walks into the summit holding all the cards. Washington needs Beijing's help on Iran and Beijing knows it. The real currency on the table is not goodwill — it is semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and export controls. Everyone will smile for the cameras and pretend to be friends. The Iran war is not going anywhere until after this meeting concludes — which means Tehran gets more time and the unfinished military mission stays unfinished. And while all of this plays out on the world stage inflation is quietly spreading beyond gas prices and into groceries, housing, and everyday life. The economic squeeze is real and growing.

The media wants you terrified about hantavirus. The numbers say otherwise. We separate fact from fear. Trump called Iran's response garbage — so when does the military finally finish the mission it started and stopped too soon? AOC is growing a following that nobody should be laughing off anymore. We tell you exactly why she is worth watching very closely. And we cover the tragic and deliberate plane incident in Denver Friday night with the care and seriousness the story deserves.

The President says Iran agreed. Iran says they didn't. And more people than ever are asking if Trump has simply lost his nerve on this war. Diplomacy with Tehran — a real strategy or just delay? Virginia's Supreme Court just threw out a congressional map voters approved and Democrats are furious. The Trade Court rejected the White House's replacement tariffs leaving the entire trade agenda in legal freefall. And AOC's views on billionaires have taken another strange turn that deserves an honest look.

America was not always this divided. It started the day Ted Turner launched CNN and cable news chose sides forever. Before that Cronkite spoke and America listened together. Then CNN went left and Fox went right and here we are. Today we trace the origin of the divide and ask if it can ever be undone. Plus — Kuwait and Saudi Arabia just announced they will open their airspace and military bases to the United States. That is not diplomacy. That is a runway for a bombing campaign against Iran. And Marco Rubio sat down with the Pope today. Why now? Why does it matter?
