Senate Battles Over DHS Funding as Iran Campaign Nears End

Senator Jim Talent returns for the penultimate public edition of Duane's World to break down where the Iran campaign stands at the five-week mark. With 13,000 targets hit, missile launches down from 170 to 3, and the defense industrial base obliterated, the conversation shifts to Phase Two — regime pressure, oil leverage, Strait of Hormuz negotiations, and Trump's pursuit of a deal. Plus, the Senate fight over DHS funding, the SAVE Act, and reconciliation math.
