Host Lindsey Vernick delivers a brisk roundup of top news: generous state relocation incentives (including West Virginia’s $23,000 package), a deadly Austin shooting under investigation for possible terrorism ties, and Instagram’s new opt-in parental alerts for teen self-harm searches.

She also shares a personal Mercury-retrograde anecdote and provides a concise explainer of the escalating conflict with Iran — covering recent strikes, leadership losses, civilian protests, and widening regional tensions.
