President Trump has staked a tremendous amount of political capital, along with the fickle faith of the American people, on the launching of major military operations in Iran. The ayatollah has been killed as part of an onslaught of airstrikes, along with reports of the death of former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. So far, it has cost three American service members their lives. Will the cost of war be worth the reward? Ryan breaks down why he feels history will judge Trump kindly as this bold move will pay off in the long run for stability and security in the region.

Stephen L. Miller, host of the Versus Media podcast, joins Ryan to lampoon the pathetic pandering of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) to a black audience in Georgia. Which just so happens to be one of our upcoming Fool of the Week nominees.

Also, another nominee for said award, the irony of New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani encouraging city residents to show up with two forms of ID to shovel snow - while opposing the requirement of government-issued photo ID as proof of citizenship to vote in elections.

Denver mayor Mike Johnston made national news in November 2024 by promising a 'Tiananmen Square moment' at the Denver city limits where city police and local moms would be standing in the way of ICE agents looking to execute mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens from the city. Now, he has signed an executive order vowing to prohibit ICE from accessing public buildings of any kind in Denver. Ryan skewers the mayor for his reckless, irresponsible, dangerous comments which open the door to chaos and confusion as to whether and how Denver Police will be expected to apprehend federal agents using 'excessive force' (however and by whomever that's defined) conducting deportation arrests.
