Iran's Nuclear Threat & Russia/Ukraine Ready for Peace? | More War Monday | The Rob Maness Show EP 671

The Real MOU: What Trump’s Iran Agreement Actually Says – Truth Thursday | EP 677

You just heard President Trump at the G7 laying out the new Iran framework. He made it clear: technical discussions on removing every stockpile of enriched nuclear material begin right away. And unlike the old Obama deal that sent pallets of cash, any relief Iran gets will be earned on merit - not handed over by American taxpayers. This is moving fast. Oil prices are already reacting to the Strait of Hormuz opening, but big questions remain about verification, Iran’s nuclear program, terrorism funding, and what this means for Israel and our own national security. We’re joined once again by longtime TV news producer, former diplomat, and anchor at WABC radio in New York — Jake Novak.

Loose Lips, Even with Allies, Can Sink Ships – More War Monday | EP 676

Loose lips sink ships. That World War II warning still rings true today — except now the danger isn’t just enemies listening in. It’s loose lips even with our allies. We just watched that chilling clip: Israel’s Prime Minister reportedly had a direct hand in writing Section 224 of this year’s NDAA. Think about that — a foreign leader shaping America’s defense law. That’s not partnership. It’s something else. We’re going to ask the hard questions today: Should we be merging our industrial base and fusing our intelligence with allies? Or are we handing over the keys to our own house? We’ll look at the reports that President Trump is furious with Israel right now — and what that tells us about the state of the alliance. And Iran? It’s still all about the nukes. The mullahs have never stopped racing for the bomb, and every day we pretend otherwise is another day we’re playing with fire. President Trump is close on a deal, even with the nuclear weapons, with Iran and he should be angry that an ally is disrupting that. To cut through the noise and give us straight talk from the inside, I’m joined right now by retired CIA officer, intelligence expert, and publisher of AND Magazine — Sam Faddis.

The Hidden Facts Behind Your Healthcare Costs | The Rob Maness Show EP 675

Millions of Americans are pissed off about health insurance — premiums through the roof, deductibles higher than ever, and coverage that feels like it’s shrinking every single year. It often seems like the deck is stacked against working families and small businesses. Today we’re pulling back the curtain on what’s really driving your costs. We’re going to show you how hospitals have become a major problem through massive consolidation. We’ll expose how the entire system isn’t designed to treat patients over the long term, it’s built around treating symptoms only, keeping you coming back for more. And we’re going to dig into how Big Pharma and Pharmacy Benefit Managers are quietly contributing to these skyrocketing prices through hidden payments and preferred drug lists. Joining me today is Chris Hamilton, a Partner at Hotchkiss Insurance in Texas. Chris leads their employee benefits consulting practice. He specializes in managing healthcare and insurance costs to improve benefits coverage, reduce expenses, and deliver better employee health outcomes. With over a decade of experience in corporate finance, he’s advised clients across private equity, oil & gas, and more.

Harmful Ideologies: Air Force Doc Reassured Military Doctors They Can’t Be Sued for Sex Changes on Minors | EP 674

Today we’re exposing a jaw-dropping scandal straight out of the Biden-era military: an Air Force doctor, Lt. Col. Josh Smalley, appeared to reassure military medical officers and civilian employees that they couldn’t be sued for performing sex-change procedures on minors. According to an explosive Daily Caller exclusive, Smalley—who once ran the Air Force’s Transgender Medical Health Unit—shared multiple sets of documents in 2023 telling doctors: don’t worry about lawsuits, the Department of Defense has your back when it comes to “gender-affirming care” on children. Taxpayer-funded mutilation of minors, protected from legal accountability. This is the radical gender ideology that was rammed into our armed forces under Biden—prioritizing politics over science, readiness, and the well-being of kids. But it didn’t stay hidden. The Center to Advance Security in America—led by our guest today—fought through FOIA requests and a lawsuit to drag these documents into the light. Joining me right now is James Fitzpatrick: Army veteran, former Trump 45 administration appointee, Director of CASA, and the man who helped break this story. This is a public episode.

School Choice: Why Did Mississippi GOP State Senators Kill Trump’s Policy | EP 673

Today, we’re confronting a disappointing reality: Why did Mississippi GOP State Senators kill President Trump’s school choice policy in less than two minutes with no debate? Mississippi has celebrated the 'Mississippi Miracle' in public education improvements, and that’s fantastic progress. But many families still struggle to find the right fit for their children. School choice would empower parents to select public, private, charter, or home schools using education savings accounts or vouchers. Critics raised concerns that were and are being answered today again: things like using taxpayer dollars for non-public schools, whether private institutions meet rigorous academic standards, and whether HB2 truly delivers choice since private schools aren’t required to accept all students and public schools can deny transfers due to capacity. However, 18 states—including every state bordering Mississippi—have proven universal education freedom works. It doesn’t hurt public schools; it drives improvement across the board by introducing competition and parent empowerment. To help us unpack this and explore how Mississippi can join these successful states, I’m pleased to welcome our special guest, Leah Ferretti, Director of Mississippi Ready and a Mom who decided to take her children’s education into her own hands.
