About this episode

President Trump discusses plans for Iran while the DOJ announces indictments related to child smuggling.

The United States is going to be striking Iran “very hard tonight,” President Donald Trump said on Thursday, adding, “At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela, which is working out brilliantly for both Venezuela and the United States of America.” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Thursday announced the indictments of three illegal immigrants who allegedly took part in a wide-ranging conspiracy to smuggle more than a dozen children into the United States.
