The Tom Sullivan Show

The national security meeting was scheduled. The attack plans were ready. Then Trump called it off — again. Is this masterful negotiating leverage or a president who praises his military but keeps finding reasons not to use it? At some point Iran stops believing the threat is real and that is a very dangerous place to be. Then Luigi Mangione was back in a New York courtroom today where a state judge ruled some evidence is out — but the gun and the manifesto are in. The trial just got a whole lot more interesting. Both stories today, no sugarcoating.

The Beijing summit is over and the scorecard is empty. Great food. Lovely airport ceremonies. Zero agreements. Trump needed Iran help from China and left empty handed. Xi wanted movement on Taiwan and got none. The CEOs who tagged along for the trade mission are heading home with nothing to show for the trip. Meanwhile Republicans have been promising gas prices will drop like a rock since February 28th — and that promise is aging about as well as last month's leftovers. At what point do hollow promises at the pump become a real political problem? All of it today, straight and honest.

Trump went to Beijing for Iran. Xi greeted him with Taiwan. Day one of the summit made one thing crystal clear — these two leaders are not on the same page and may not even be reading the same book. Xi was aggressive on Taiwan from the opening bell while Trump needs Chinese cooperation on Iran to break a military and diplomatic stalemate back home. Are these two issues even tradeable? Will day two find any real common ground? Meanwhile import prices are climbing fast — fuel costs and tariffs are the culprits and American consumers are absorbing every bit of it. The geopolitics and the economics are the same story today and we connect all of it.

Kevin Warsh just got confirmed as Fed Chairman and his first challenge is an inflation surge that is not slowing down — rates may go higher before they go lower. China is getting all the attention as a potential Iran dealmaker but do not count on Beijing to do Washington any favors. And the ban on Chinese cars? We have seen this story before. In the 1970s Detroit tried to block Japanese imports too. Toyota and Honda made American cars better. Are Chinese automakers about to do the same thing — and are we too afraid of the competition to let it happen? History is rhyming loudly today.

China walks into the summit holding all the cards. Washington needs Beijing's help on Iran and Beijing knows it. The real currency on the table is not goodwill — it is semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and export controls. Everyone will smile for the cameras and pretend to be friends. The Iran war is not going anywhere until after this meeting concludes — which means Tehran gets more time and the unfinished military mission stays unfinished. And while all of this plays out on the world stage inflation is quietly spreading beyond gas prices and into groceries, housing, and everyday life. The economic squeeze is real and growing. All of it connected today.

The media wants you terrified about hantavirus. The numbers say otherwise. We separate fact from fear. Trump called Iran's response garbage — so when does the military finally finish the mission it started and stopped too soon? AOC is growing a following that nobody should be laughing off anymore. We tell you exactly why she is worth watching very closely. And we cover the tragic and deliberate plane incident in Denver Friday night with the care and seriousness the story deserves. Big show today.

The President says Iran agreed. Iran says they didn't. And more people than ever are asking if Trump has simply lost his nerve on this war. Diplomacy with Tehran — a real strategy or just delay? Virginia's Supreme Court just threw out a congressional map voters approved and Democrats are furious. The Trade Court rejected the White House's replacement tariffs leaving the entire trade agenda in legal freefall. And AOC's views on billionaires have taken another strange turn that deserves an honest look. Four big stories no filter today.

America was not always this divided. It started the day Ted Turner launched CNN and cable news chose sides forever. Before that Cronkite spoke and America listened together. Then CNN went left and Fox went right and here we are. Today we trace the origin of the divide and ask if it can ever be undone. Plus — Kuwait and Saudi Arabia just announced they will open their airspace and military bases to the United States. That is not diplomacy. That is a runway for a bombing campaign against Iran. And Marco Rubio sat down with the Pope today. Why now? Why does it matter? All of it connected today.

Project Freedom lasted less than 48 hours before the President hit pause. Is he looking for a way out of Iran or buying time before the bombs drop? His statement to Iran was equal parts threat and confusion — agree to what you agreed to or face an intense bombing campaign. Clear as mud. Meanwhile California held its governor's debate and nobody won. The Democratic candidates were flat, the big issues went unanswered, and the door for a Republican upset in the nation's biggest blue state just swung a little further open. Is 2026 California's tipping point?

The IRGC will never sign a real deal — so why is the President still waiting to restart combat operations in Iran? In Indiana today Trump is backing primary challengers against Republican state senators who defied him on redistricting. The message is simple — cross Trump and pay the price.

The great John Sterling, the voice of the New York Yankees since the 1980s, has passed away at 87. There will never be another one like him. We pay our respects to a broadcasting legend. Then — Spirit Airlines didn't die because of fuel prices. They were broke long before that and a slightly higher fare might have saved them. No bailout. Finally — Iran is firing missiles and attacking ships in the Strait of Hormuz despite a supposed ceasefire. The U.S. Navy just eliminated six of their fast boats. Is this ceasefire already over before it started?

Spirit Airlines wants a taxpayer bailout — and the answer should be no. Oil and gas prices are rising again as the Iran standoff drags on and military advisors are growing louder about strikes. Can America's economy outlast Iran's pain before Washington is forced to act militarily? And on this May Day, over 3,000 anti-American protests funded by a two billion dollar machine are filling the streets — with children let out of school to join them.

Gas prices are spiking. Iran isn't budging. And American wallets are taking the hit. We break down the Iran blockade standoff and ask who runs out of runway first — Tehran or Washington. Then the Supreme Court rules states can't use race to draw congressional districts, effectively pulling the rug out from under the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Is the most important civil rights law in American history still necessary in 2026 — or has it finally been legislated into irrelevance? Two huge stories, zero spin, all signal.

Jimmy Kimmel is clapping back on ABC. James Comey just walked into a federal courthouse. And Jerome Powell scrapped his retirement plans to stay at the Federal Reserve and stare down a president who wants him gone. Three men. Three very different arenas. One common enemy.

Former FBI Director James Comey is back in the crosshairs — this time over an Instagram photo of seashells arranged to spell out "86 47," a phrase widely interpreted as a threat against the President of the United States. The right is furious. The DOJ is responding. But is it a federal crime or a beach walk? Meanwhile, late night host Jimmy Kimmel has once again lit the internet on fire after joking that Melania Trump had the glow of an "expectant widow" — a comment that sent conservative media into a full meltdown. But let's be honest — is anyone surprised? Kimmel has mastered the art of the deliberate chain-yank, and every outrage cycle hands him a temporary ratings spike on an otherwise struggling show. In this episode we ask the real questions: Where is the line between political satire and incitement? Is Comey being politically persecuted — or did he walk straight into this one? And is Jimmy Kimmel a fearless truth-teller or just a ratings opportunist riding conservative outrage to relevance? We break it all down.

With the U.S. extending a ceasefire indefinitely and peace talks with Iran stalled, the path forward is more uncertain than ever. As tensions rise in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran hardens its stance, demanding an end to sanctions and the U.S. blockade before negotiations resume.

The Iran war is entering a final phase as a powerful naval blockade reshapes the battlefield without firing a shot. With oil exports effectively cut off and over 90% of Iran’s trade routes disrupted, economic pressure is mounting at unprecedented speed. I am not alone warning that lost revenue, rising inflation, and limited oil storage capacity could force shutdowns within weeks, triggering a cascading financial crisis. In this episode, we break down how the Strait of Hormuz blockade is impacting global oil markets, accelerating economic instability inside Iran, and raising the stakes for the wider world. Is this the final move that changes everything—or a dangerous escalation with global consequences?
