Episode 032

After a month off the mics, The Cigar Politico is back with a longer episode to catch up on everything we missed—and everything you need to know. We open with stories from our time away before turning to the tragic floods in the Texas Hill Country and what they reveal about preparedness, policy, and community. Then we break down the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” and what it means for tax policy and new rules for government safety nets. Finally, we tackle the headline dominating every feed: Trump’s strike on Iran, what led up to it, and the success of our unmatched military. Cut a cigar and settle in—this is The Cigar Politico, Episode 32.  Follow our show on YouTube and find us on Twitch streaming live with every episode.  Timestamps below!
