About this episode

Brian Kilmeade discusses the escalating trade war with Canada, political violence, and insights on Iran's economy with various guests.

Brian Kilmeade breaks down what this means for American supply chains, the economy, and the upcoming midterms. Utah Governor Spencer Cox joins the show to discuss his new book Off Ramp, navigating political violence one year after the Charlie Kirk assassination attempt, and how conservatives can stick to their principles while getting real results. Plus, insight on the US naval blockade starving Iran's economy and former country star Granger Smith on his new book Poison in the Well.
