Hour 1 [04/13/2026]: Trump Strait of Hormuz Pressure, McElroy Iran Clash, and Kim on a Whim AI Backlash

Hour 1 opens with escalating Iran tensions and expectations of a U.S. move targeting the Strait of Hormuz following failed negotiations, alongside weekend reactions including Jimmy Failla’s sold-out St. Louis performance. The hour then shifts to criticism of Ro Khanna and discussion of polling showing support for Trump’s Iran strategy before pivoting to immigration debate sparked by Archbishop McElroy’s comments on deportations and enforcement. “Kim on a Whim” focuses on growing frustration with AI-driven customer service, comparing Walmart return headaches to Costco’s customer-first model and arguing consumer behavior may shape automation’s future. The hour wraps with Trump responding to Catholic leadership criticism as McElroy calls the Iran conflict an unjust war, fueling broader debate over immigration, military action, and church involvement in politics.
