Senator Lindsey Graham Dead at 71 — Both Sides Genuinely Liked Him and That Says Everything. McConnell's Health Story Has Gaps & Trump's Hor

Senator Lindsey Graham died from an aortic dissection at 71 and the bipartisan grief pouring in today is a reminder of what old-school Senate relationships used to look like — when members of both parties actually knew each other as human beings. We pay tribute to a complicated but genuinely warm man whose personal conduct in the Senate was better than the era he served in. Mitch McConnell says it was a fall and mild pneumonia but the medical care he is receiving tells a different story. We flag the disconnect. And Trump wants to charge fees for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. We vehemently disagree. It is international waters. Nobody owns it. Nobody gets to charge for it. Today we explain the law and the common sense. All of it today with the respect and directness these stories deserve.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tom-sullivan-show--6632619/support [https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-tom-sullivan-show--6632619/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss].

Iran Has a Specific Plot to Kill Trump — Israel Told Us and That's Why He Switched Planes in Turkey. The New Air Force One Can't Defend Him

The Air Force One mystery is officially solved and the answer is chilling. Israel warned the US of a specific Iranian plot to assassinate the President and the Secret Service put him on the older, better-protected plane out of Turkey because the new Qatari 747 does not yet have the defensive countermeasures needed to protect against that kind of threat. Trump told reporters he is on every single one of Iran's lists and admitted he has been lucky — for now. Meanwhile oil is moving through Hormuz better than expected but airlines have already hiked fares and Delta says do not expect relief for the rest of 2026. And Graham Platner finally filed his withdrawal paperwork from the Maine Senate race. The betting pool is closed. All of it today — this is a big one.

Platner Says He's Out But Hasn't Filed — Betting Markets Say Watch Monday's 5PM Deadline Closely. Plus the New Air Force One Doesn't Meet Se

Graham Platner said he was stepping down but the withdrawal paperwork has not been filed and Axios says he is holding it until the last minute before Monday's five o'clock deadline. The betting markets are now pricing in a real chance he pulls a fast one and stays in the Maine Senate race. We watch the clock and examine both scenarios. And the Air Force One mystery from the Turkey trip is finally solved — the brand new Qatari 747 does not yet meet the security requirements for presidential travel through sensitive airspace. The old blue and white plane does. So Trump flew out on the old one, landed in England, and switched to the new one for the final leg home. The most luxurious presidential plane in history cannot yet safely go everywhere the President needs to go. All of it today.

The Iran Ceasefire Lasted Days Not Weeks. Trump Calls Leaders Liars and Scum, Says Ceasefire Is Over — But Also Says No War. Huh? Plus the A

The sixty day Iran ceasefire did not come close to sixty days. The President called Iran's leaders liars, scum, cheaters, and sick. He said the ceasefire is over. Then he said he doesn't think the war will begin again. Both of those things cannot be true at the same time and today we try to figure out what American Iran policy actually is right now. Then a genuine Air Force One mystery — Trump flew the new Qatari 747 to Turkey and came home on the old blue and white Jackie Kennedy plane. The new one went to Europe to show soldiers. Nobody fully explained this and we have questions — though we will admit we are delighted the original got one more trip. And Graham Platner has still not stepped down despite the assault accusation and the Democratic pressure campaign. The betting pool rolls on.

Platner Accused of Sexual Assault — Democrats Say Step Down, He Says He's Reflecting. What Date Do You Pick for His Exit? Trump Blasts NATO

A woman has accused Graham Platner of sexual assault and a long list of prominent Democrats have said they believe her and want him out of the Maine Senate race. Platner denies it and says he is reflecting. In political crisis speak reflecting is rarely the end of the story. We ask the honest question — do you believe her? And we start the betting pool on the date he steps down. Trump is in Turkey at NATO furious that alliance members sat out the Iran conflict and left America holding the military weight alone. We preview what those conversations look like. And Netanyahu says he and Trump are still friends despite the Iran agreement tensions — a statement worth unpacking.
