Life is unpredictable, folks. In a flash, South Carolina has lost its senior United States Senator. Lindsey Graham passed away suddenly, and the entire state, and really the whole country, is reeling from the news. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family, his staff, and every South Carolinian who counted on him for more than two decades. Graham was a veteran who brought that same sense of duty to the Senate. He fought hard on national security and foreign policy, and whether you agreed with him on every issue or not, you knew where he stood. As the President just said, this is a big loss. We’re going to spend today unpacking exactly what this means. Our guest will walk us through what some are already calling the “new 40-day Senator” and how the seat will be filled. Then we’ll hear directly from South Carolina’s Congresswoman Nancy Mace on Graham’s passing and his legacy. And finally, we’ll discuss something Will Cain highlighted yesterday, that Graham was one of the few politicians who didn’t get rich off his office. He left public service the same way he came in. To help us break all of this down from a strong conservative perspective, I’m joined live right now by South Carolina native and Republican political expert Chad Caton, National Field Director for The Conservative Caucus.Listen to additional shows and get your daily fix of news, sports and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.

We just watched that Vatican News clip that hints the Vatican is flirting with Marxism through a globalist world view and policies but folks, that’s not a question anymore — it’s a warning. Last October in Rome, the fifth World Meeting of Popular Movements was hosted under Vatican leadership. Pope Leo himself stood before these groups and declared, 'I am here. I am with you!' He called their struggles 'legitimate and necessary' and praised them as 'social poets.' But a new 144-page report from the Lepanto Institute rips the mask off. Many of these so-called popular movements are steeped in Marxism — openly celebrating Karl Marx, pushing socialist revolution, and demanding abortion and radical LGBT policies. And it gets darker. Part Two of the investigation shows several of these organizations are also practicing outright paganism: Mayan shamans invoking spirits and Nawales, Candomblé rituals with spirit possession and offerings to Orixás, and 'mistica' ceremonies worshiping Mother Earth as divine. One group even gifted the Holy Father a tapestry honoring a pagan spirit. All of this is being brought inside the Church under the banners of 'synodality' and 'accompaniment.' Is the Church reaching the poor… or is Marxism and paganism reaching the Church? Joining me live to break it all down is the man who led this investigation: Michael Hichborn, founder and president of the Lepanto Institute.Listen to additional shows and get your daily fix of news, sports and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.

Today we’re cutting through the noise on the biggest story in the world: real efforts for peace in the Middle east and to stop the killing in Ukraine while the wars continue to rage across multiple fronts. From Switzerland, where Vice President JD Vance laid out what the U.S. accomplished at the Lake Lucerne Summit — Iranians agreeing to let IAEA inspectors back into the country as a major first step toward ending their nuclear weapons program. Four big accomplishments negotiated in one day. We’ll also examine what that deal means for Lebanon and whether Hezbollah is getting a lifeline out of these talks. Then we shift to President Trump’s own words — now that the Iran piece appears wrapped up, he’s turning his full attention to Ukraine. He told Macron he’s had good conversations with both Putin and Zelensky, and both leaders are open to a deal. “Maybe we can do something,” the President said. And we cannot ignore the brutal reality on the ground: the battle over energy and infrastructure. Russian drones just struck a cargo ship in the Black Sea and killed civilians in Ukraine as Moscow continues using every weapon in its arsenal — including energy leverage and sanctions warfare. To break all of this down with no spin and no filter is a man who’s been there — retired Special Operations pilot, CDM Press President and CEO, patriot, and fearless truth-teller — L. Todd Wood.Listen to additional shows and get your daily fix of news, sports and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.

You just heard President Trump at the G7 laying out the new Iran framework. He made it clear: technical discussions on removing every stockpile of enriched nuclear material begin right away. And unlike the old Obama deal that sent pallets of cash, any relief Iran gets will be earned on merit - not handed over by American taxpayers. This is moving fast. Oil prices are already reacting to the Strait of Hormuz opening, but big questions remain about verification, Iran’s nuclear program, terrorism funding, and what this means for Israel and our own national security. We’re joined once again by longtime TV news producer, former diplomat, and anchor at WABC radio in New York — Jake Novak.Listen to additional shows and get your daily fix of news, sports and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.

Loose lips sink ships. That World War II warning still rings true today — except now the danger isn’t just enemies listening in. It’s loose lips even with our allies. We just watched that chilling clip: Israel’s Prime Minister reportedly had a direct hand in writing Section 224 of this year’s NDAA. Think about that — a foreign leader shaping America’s defense law. That’s not partnership. It’s something else. We’re going to ask the hard questions today: Should we be merging our industrial base and fusing our intelligence with allies? Or are we handing over the keys to our own house? We’ll look at the reports that President Trump is furious with Israel right now — and what that tells us about the state of the alliance. And Iran? It’s still all about the nukes. The mullahs have never stopped racing for the bomb, and every day we pretend otherwise is another day we’re playing with fire. President Trump is close on a deal, even with the nuclear weapons, with Iran and he should be angry that an ally is disrupting that. To cut through the noise and give us straight talk from the inside, I’m joined right now by retired CIA officer, intelligence expert, and publisher of AND Magazine — Sam Faddis.Listen to additional shows and get your daily fix of news, sports and entertainment at https://TalkRed.com.
