Sean Duffy told his daughter Harvard has "professionalized" corrupting young minds, then wrote: "My job is to get my daughter into heaven, not Harvard." The Transportation Secretary's kitchen-table conversation with 18-year-old Paloma on his YouTube series The Great American Road Trip set the internet on fire. Chuck Frank says every parent understands that sentence in their bones. This is the whole job.

Also in today's episode: the human-caused Hawk Fire outside Reno has pushed tens of thousands of Americans out of their homes and put a state of emergency on Washoe County. Wyoming's squatter law just got its first real test, and the squatters who told a homeowner he couldn't touch them found out who actually couldn't be touched. President Trump pauses out-of-quota tariffs on 300,000 metric tons of ground beef with a promised 25% discount; Chuck says watch the label, not the press release. Iran hands Washington a list of demands before Hormuz reopens, and the real scoreboard is your gas pump. South Carolina Republicans pick Lindsey Graham's successor Tuesday: appointed Senator Darline Graham vs. Congressman Ralph Norman. And race cars ran the streets of Washington, D.C. for the Freedom 250 Grand Prix.

Seven stories. Seven o'clock. The truth starts now.
