Full Show 8/24/2026: The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action with Iran was never going to work out from the beginning

On today's show, Newell shares his thoughts on an August 2026 National Review piece penned by Fred Fleitz titled "Eight Reasons Why Obama's Iran Nuclear Deal Is Still a Fraud" that argues that the JCPOA was a flawed deal that failed to dismantle Iran's nuclear infrastructure, allowing for continued enrichment and the preservation of centrifuges. Then, Newell has on Jason Hebert, President of The Political Firm, to pull back the curtain on the key races, local battlegrounds, and national trends shaping the ballot box, Zack Smith, Senior Legal Fellow for Courts & the Constitution at the Heritage Foundation, to discuss what Meta's mounting legal scrutiny could mean for consumers, technology companies, and policymakers, and Guy Williams, Chairman & CEO of Gulf Coast Bank & Trust, to talk about the potential multibillion-dollar SpaceX spaceport deal in Louisiana, the US/Canadian trade war, China's stumbling economy, and more.
