About this episode

The episode covers President Trump's recent public event discussing retirement accounts, troop withdrawals from Germany, and economic actions against Iran.

President Donald Trump spoke to retirees on Friday in The Villages, Florida, after taking steps aimed at providing millions of Americans better access to retirement accounts—a move that was met with bipartisan praise. It’s the president's first large public event since his third assassination attempt Saturday night. Breaking tonight, the Pentagon says the United States is withdrawing 5,000 troops from NATO ally Germany. This comes after President Trump said earlier that the U.S. was reviewing a possible reduction. And with Operation Epic Fury paused amid a ceasefire, the United States is continuing Economic Fury on Iran—this time targeting a Chinese firm accused of helping Iran sell billions in sanctioned oil. Trump on Friday said he’s still weighing a taxpayer-funded takeover of Spirit Airlines. The president did not offer details about the proposal but told reporters he would have an announcement on the matter by Saturday.
