President Donald Trump waves as he boards Air Force One, Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at Dover Air Force Base, Del., after attending the casualty return for the six crew members of an Air Force refueling aircraft who died when their plane crashed in western Iraq while supporting operations against Iran.

A top intelligence official has resigned and on the way out said “Iran posed no imminent threat,” to the U.S.

President Donald Trump ran for reelection on the promise of lower prices and no wars.

Meanwhile, Trump and his administration are doing all they can to not call it a war.

Prices have not come down and could be increasing as U.S. strikes on Iran continue.

Also, could a blue wave happen in this year’s midterm elections?

We’re talking national politics with Ken Rudin, host of the "Political Junkie" podcast.
