The Iran war keeps expanding, and now the Houthis are creating another major problem in Yemen. Iran-backed Houthi forces are pushing for more territory near critical Red Sea shipping routes, while reports say President Trump recently called off planned U.S. strikes against them. Pags asks the obvious question: Why didn't we just take them out when we had the chance? Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the U.S. pressure campaign could effectively ground Iranian airlines worldwide beginning Wednesday, and U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz previews Trump's upcoming showdown at the United Nations over accusations involving U.S. military actions in Iran. Then things get a little lighter with Gavin Newsom and Jake Tapper going fishing—and some deep-sea fishing talk from the crew—before another story really gets under Pags' skin. Amazon delivery drones are increasingly filling the skies over Richardson, Texas, after the FAA approved expanded operations, and residents are raising concerns about noise and the sheer number of flights overhead. Are we really ready to automate even MORE of our lives and accept drones constantly buzzing over our neighborhoods? Pags isn't sold, even as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy talks about embracing the best technology available. Plus, Bessent keeps getting pressed on AI as Washington wrestles with just how quickly this technology should reshape everyday American life.Learn more about your ad choices.
