Israel warns it will target Khamenei's son as the new Supreme Leader, and Sharri has an exclusive interview with an Israeli minister.

The episode opens with breaking news on Israel and America's continued airstrikes in Iran, targeting military assets and a leadership compound in Tehran. Sharri announces an exclusive interview with Israeli Minister Amichai Chikli. Iran has reportedly elected Khamenei's son, Mohtaba Khamenei, as the new Supreme Leader. The host discusses the political reaction in Australia, where mosques in Sydney held ceremonies mourning Ayatollah Khamenei's death, leading to police investigations and criticism from NSW Premier Chris Minns. A segment focuses on backlash within the MAGA movement, with figures like Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly blaming Israel and Jewish commentators for Trump's decision to strike Iran, with Sharri condemning this as anti-Semitic. Miranda Devine joins to analyze Trump's strategic outreach to Arab nations and the fallout with European allies like Spain and the UK, which refused to allow use of their bases. She notes high Republican support for the war but warns it must be short. Amichai Chikli is interviewed live from a bombed site in Beth Shemesh, calling for Iran's surrender and highlighting civilian casualties. He criticizes UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer as weak. The episode shifts to Australian politics, with Michael Kroger and Bronwyn Bishop discussing Treasurer Jim Chalmers' warnings about the war's economic impact and criticizing government spending. They also address training for prison guards on female extremists, linking it to ISIS brides. The Kyle and Jackie O show breakup is briefly mentioned. Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is interviewed, defending the war as self-defense under international law and responding to criticism from Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. He emphasizes the threat of Iran's nuclear program and calls for democracies to stand together. The episode concludes with a quick break.
