Staring Into the Cistern: Iran Stalemate, Conspiracy Mad-Libs, & more

Adam and Dick open with this week's Hormuz Watch — the strait is still closed, the news cycle is exhausted, and the administration has no endgame beyond getting back to where things were before. Then it's the debut of Conspiracy Corner: the Lone Star tick, Alpha-Gal syndrome, and the theory that Bill Gates bioengineered a meat allergy to save the planet (as explained by a sitting congressman on Joe Rogan, naturally). From there, the guys break down the Texas Senate Republican primary — Ken Paxton's runoff win despite Trump's late endorsement and the national Senate GOP committee going publicly against him — and what it means for Colin Allred's chances in the general. Plus: Tulsi Gabbard's six-hour news cycle, Pam Bondi on the Hill throwing Todd Blanche under the bus on the Epstein files, and RFK Jr. getting repeatedly bitten by snakes on Dr. Oz's porch. A perfectly normal week in American politics.
