About this episode

The episode discusses President Trump's military stance on Iran, California's recruitment of noncitizen poll workers, and various immigration-related controversies.

President Trump signals that the United States is prepared for an extended military campaign against Iran and says he has already left instructions for a massive response if Iran succeeds in assassinating him. We also examine California’s decision to recruit lawful permanent residents as young as 16 to serve as poll workers, Trump’s removal of the remaining Election Assistance Commission members, and the renewed Republican effort to restrict birthright citizenship. Homeland Security agents rescue eight missing children during a World Cup trafficking operation, while the Trump administration deports a convicted child sex offender pardoned by Minnesota officials. Then, new questions emerge after a Mexican immigrant who was not the intended target of an ICE operation is fatally shot in Texas. Mexico is now threatening legal action as federal investigators work to determine what happened. We also cover Trump’s decision to allow a major housing bill to become law without his signature, the European Union’s accusation that Meta uses addictive social media design, a terrifying Ryanair emergency, and Britney Spears’ latest dangerous stunt in Los Angeles traffic.Join Me On…
