Week of June 15th: The U.S. Bombs Iran, Tucker Fight Cruz, and Clinton Endorses Cuomo

Listen Later

This week, everything changed. President Trump ordered a surprise strike on Iran’s underground nuclear facilities in what’s already being called one of the most aggressive foreign policy moves in decades. We break down what happened, why now, and what could come next, including the real risks of escalation, constitutional overreach, and the global fallout.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration briefed only top Republican leaders before the strike, sparking a fierce debate over executive war powers. Homeland Security issued a "heightened threat environment" warning inside the U.S., as fears over potential cyberattacks and retaliation grow.

This week:

  • Tucker Carlson roasted Ted Cruz on Iran
  • The administration is considering expanding the travel ban to 36 new countries.
  • Student visas are back—but only if you hand over your social media accounts.
  • Trump’s FAA pick allegedly lied about being a commercial pilot.
  • GOP lawmakers want the EPA to investigate whether abortion pills are tainting drinking water.
  • Texas mandates the Ten Commandments in every public school classroom.
  • Bill Clinton endorsed Andrew Cuomo as mayor of NYC.
  • Pakistan condemned Trump’s Iran strike… just days after nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
  • Netflix has also dropped a new documentary about Rob Ford.
