2. U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) has given her support to the Nobel Peace Prize candidacy of President Donald Trump for brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Iran; it was proposed by U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.)

In today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, hosts John Longshore and Barry McKnight dissected Auburn’s recent recruiting woes as the Tigers lost two key commitments—linebacker Shidarius Toodle to Georgia and wide receiver Devin Carter back to Florida State. Auburn’s national ranking plummeted to as low as 73rd on some sites, raising concerns about Hugh Freeze’s tenure and the perception that the program lacks momentum. The show also spotlighted the opening week of the 2025 season, where Auburn will visit Baylor and Alabama will travel to Florida State—marking the first time both programs begin on the road against non-conference foes since 1976.

Florida State quarterback Tommy Castellanos added fuel to the fire, boldly stating he “dreamed of moments like this” and doesn’t believe Alabama can stop him, comments the hosts called premature and risky. Meanwhile, discussion turned to SEC leadership, with pointed criticism of commissioner Greg Sankey’s indecision on expanding to a nine-game schedule and playoff realignment. The Braves also earned a mention after snapping a 31-game save drought with a 3–2 win over the Mets, powered by Dylan Lee’s ninth-inning finish. Despite being 10.5 games back in the NL East, the hosts questioned whether Atlanta could still make a wild card run.
The United States has conducted limited airstrikes against Iran, and by all accounts, they appear to have been successful.
Whether or not you believe these attacks were necessary or legal is one thing, but the number of people who seem to be on the side of the regime in Iran because they hate President Donald Trump is disheartening.
There is no question about who the good guys are when the U.S. and Iran are in conflict, but as with their proxies around the region, America’s dumbest citizens continue to side with the worst people on the planet.
Never change, American Left, never change.

2. Iran launched an adorable missile attack, like a big boy nation, on an abandoned U.S. Army base in Qatar in retaliation for U.S. strikes on 3 of its nuclear sites, prompting Alabama officials to condemn the move.
1. The should-be-future Nobel Peace Prize winner, President Donald Trump, announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran after a 12-day war, U.S. strikes on Iran (is it true? Yes. No. Yes.), and Iran’s pathetic retaliatory attack on a U.S. base, but some people are not impressed.

U.S. Reps. Shomari Figures (D-Montgomery) and Terri Sewell (D-Birmingham) seem to have let personal issues with President Donald Trump overtake their common sense and are now denying that the destruction of Iran’s nuclear capabilities is a laudable goal.
The desire for Alabama Democrats to oppose Trump far overpowers their common sense; the military action in Iran is no different

In today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, hosts John Longshore and Barry McKnight reunite to cover Tommy Fleetwood’s dramatic collapse at the Travelers Championship, where he lost a three-stroke lead with four holes remaining, dropping to 0-for-84 on the PGA Tour. They then shifted to the NBA Finals, where Oklahoma City clinched the title but not without a costly twist: Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles in the first quarter of Game 7, ending Indiana’s hopes and prompting a broader conversation about how injuries reshape legacies.

The show also unpacked LSU’s 5–3 win over Coastal Carolina in the College World Series, but the ejection of Coastal’s head and first base coaches in the opening inning stole the spotlight. The hosts called the umpiring “an embarrassment” and criticized the NCAA’s real-time response. Guest Andy Burcham, voice of the Auburn Tigers, later discussed the SEC’s slow march toward a nine-game football schedule—blaming stalled ESPN negotiations—and previewed Auburn’s looming season opener against Baylor. He called the road matchup “very, very important” for Hugh Freeze’s program as it works to re-establish itself in a deepening SEC.

1. Alabama’s Republicans in Washington D.C., praised President Donald Trump’s “strong and surgical” strikes on Iran, with U.S. Rep.

In today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, Barry opened the show with NBA playoff talk, particularly the inconsistency of the Thunder and Pacers in a series marked by wild momentum swings!
Joined by Warren Matthews, he confidently predicted a blowout win for Oklahoma City in Game 7. The conversation turned to the massive $10 billion valuation of the Los Angeles Lakers, the highest ever for a sports franchise.
They reflected on Magic Johnson’s post-playing success in business, and also revisited nostalgia for Braves baseball—highlighting Atlanta’s sweep of the Mets and Spencer Strider’s strong performance, even as the Braves remain under .500.

Much of the episode centered on NIL shifts following the House v. NCAA settlement. Jason Jones joined to explain how the $2.8 billion backpay and newly imposed $20.5 million cap on direct payments to athletes could benefit Group of Five programs like Troy by curbing poaching from Power Five schools.
Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia’s recent podcast comments—boasting about NIL money and SEC superiority—sparked a broader discussion of Vanderbilt’s aspirations and limitations. Barry also waded into how the new NIL era could impact Title IX compliance, as legal challenges emerge from schools begin cutting women’s sports like tennis. McKnight wrapped with optimism about Coastal Carolina’s clutch, mistake-free baseball team potentially upsetting LSU in the College World Series finals.

Barry McKnight hosted solo again in today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, welcoming guest Colin McCrary for an inside look at TV golf production!
McCrary detailed his work as a volunteer spotter at the U.S. Open at Oakmont, describing a high-stress, precision-based role that coordinates player movements, announcer cues, and camera positioning.
“You’re listening to 30 conversations at once,” McCrary said. He also reflected on Rory McIlroy’s mental game, calling it elite but occasionally vulnerable under pressure. The segment offered rare insight into the grueling logistics behind a seemingly smooth golf broadcast.

The show also touched on Coastal Carolina’s surge into the College World Series finals after dismantling Louisville and LSU’s dramatic comeback over Arkansas, capped by late-game heroics and defensive miscues. Game 6 of the NBA Finals was previewed, with Oklahoma City looking to close out Indiana; Tyrese Haliburton was listed as questionable.
Barry later praised Scottie Scheffler’s consistency and mental toughness, calling his rise to dominance a mystery rooted in elite focus. In recruiting news, Rodney Orr reported Alabama flipped four-star quarterback Jett Tamala from Iowa State and is eyeing Texas wideout Booby Feaster, whom Orr described as “one of the top receivers in the country.”
While Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was appearing before a U.S. Senate committee, U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.) was ignorantly ranting about the names of military bases.
It is not clear whether the senator who served at Fort Rucker knew the name change fully complied with the law requiring that no Confederate names be used.
Duckworth’s rant is just silly virtue signaling, as most former enlisted prefer the original names, not the Biden rebrand.

Alabama U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) and California Governor Gavin Newsom got into it about the crime rate in Alabama because Newsom can’t defend his state’s response to ICE riots in Los Angeles.
Newsom keeps bringing this point up; however, he refuses to acknowledge that Democrat leadership in counties and cities is the actual problem.

Alabama GOP Chairman John Wahl announced his likely 2026 run for lieutenant governor, he also addressed the idea of Auburn head basketball coach Bruce Pearl running for U.S. Senate after donating to Democrats, saying, “Some of these rules include if you’ve endorsed a Democrat, if you’ve run as a Democrat, if you’ve contributed financially to a Democrat or Independent, that you cannot run as Republican, and that rule is put in place.”

3. ICE detained New York City Comptroller Brad Lander because he tried to help an illegal immigrant resist immigration officials, prompting Gov.

2. President Donald Trump’s reversed his decision to end worksite raids. Many are whining that illegals won’t get counted for the next census and adding some are scared to work now (which is the point), and this has led to worker shortages, with a Texas farmer reporting 100% of his workforce absent. But Trump’s immigration plan is clearly working with just 95 illegal aliens attempting to cross the border in the last 24 hours.

The Alabama Department of Education has announced that students are earning higher scores in reading, with some caveats.
Regardless, it seems pretty clear that the Alabama Literacy Act is working, and other legislation should follow its roadmap that holds kids back who fail.

The conversation shifted to NCAA football as recruiting hits a brief lull before the dead period begins. McKnight questioned whether coaches still honor those restrictions amid widespread tampering. Meanwhile, campus life is alive with summer camps ranging from football to cheerleading. AuburnSports.com’s Brian Matthews joined to break down Auburn’s recent recruiting efforts, noting that while official visits have wrapped up, the Tigers are now focused on commitments from key targets. Matthews added that Auburn’s quarterback room has improved and highlighted the early scouting of prospects as young as the class of 2028.
Too many of these people, “on both sides,” pretend that they know what is going on in Minnesota; they are lying.
Some of them will undoubtedly be right, but they don’t know.
Remember this when they start declaring things they have no idea about in the future .
