Summary

It’s Tuesday News Day. Today’s show opens with rising tensions between Israel and Iran and a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Trump’s awkward G7 exit.

Sen. Mike Lee comes under fire for a callous tweet following a Democratic lawmaker’s assassination in Minnesota.

An interview with California AG Rob Bonta, who details multiple lawsuits against Trump’s attempts to deploy federal troops in LA and coerce states on immigration enforcement.

The show closes with breaking news of NYC Comptroller Brad Lander’s arrest by federal agents at an immigration court—a troubling sign of ICE’s expanding power.
