On The A.M. Update, Aaron McIntire covers a volatile weekend. Israel's “Rising Lion” operation escalates into a third day of war with Iran, with Tel Aviv enduring hypersonic missile barrages and Israel striking Tehran's nuclear sites, military bases, and oil facilities, killing key figures like the IRGC's intelligence chief. Netanyahu tells Fox News Israel aims to prevent Iran from arming proxies like the Houthis with nuclear weapons, while Trump, on Truth Social, denies U.S. involvement but warns Iran of severe consequences if attacked, urging a peace deal. McIntire sees Israel's goal as regime change, noting Netanyahu's calls to Iranians to rise up. In Minnesota, tragedy strikes as Democratic state lawmakers are targeted in politically motivated shootings; Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband are killed, while Sen. John Hoffman survives. The suspect, Vance Bolter, a bizarre figure with a varied past, allegedly impersonated a police officer. The “No Kings” protests, expected to spark riots, remain peaceful but draw “geriatric” crowds, with Randi Weingarten's flailing speech and a fear-mongering grandma highlighting media-driven hysteria. A Los Angeles chopper reporter's drunken rant about his divorce during a protest broadcast epitomizes California chaos. Senate Majority Leader John Thune endorses the “Big Beautiful Bill,” promising historic spending cuts. Reports of Trump pausing ICE raids on certain industries spark fears of a “generational sellout” among supporters. A Politico correction reveals journalistic incompetence, and a New York Times story about a woman's AI chatbot obsession leading to domestic violence raises alarms about AI's dangers. McIntire critiques partiality toward Israel, arguing Iran's nuclear ambitions justify action, and links Middle East destabilization to Western adventurism and Iran's terrorism sponsorship.   Israel Iran war, Rising Lion, Tel Aviv missile strikes, Tehran attacks, Netanyahu, Trump peace deal, Minnesota shootings, Melissa Hortman, Vance Bolter, No Kings protests, Randi Weingarten, Big Beautiful Bill, John Thune, Trump ICE raids, Politico correction, AI chatbot dangers, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Iran regime change, Middle East destabilization, Western adventurism, Islamists

Trump adota "labirinto estratégico" na guerra entre Israel e Irã

O Mundo Agora

Na tarde de 15 de junho de 2025, Israel e Irã trocaram intensas ofensivas: Teerã disparou mísseis e drones sobre cidades israelenses, atingindo áreas civis em Tamra, Bat Yam, Tel Aviv, Jerusalém e Rehovot, e deixando dezenas de mortos e muitos feridos. Do lado iraniano, o número de vítimas já ultrapassa 400, com centenas de feridos desde o início da Operação Rising Lion. Thiago de Aragão, analista político Diante desse clima de guerra que avança para o terceiro dia, Donald Trump assumiu o centro do palco internacional. O chefe da Casa Branca confirmou que sabia dos ataques israelenses, salientando que foi mantido informado, mas reiterou com firmeza que “os EUA não participaram diretamente” da ofensiva. Mais do que isso, vetou uma possível tentativa de assassinato do aiatolá Khamenei por Israel alegando que, até aquele momento, nenhum americano havia sido morto, e que um ataque tão extremo seria “escalada demais”. Mas a retórica de Trump permanece poderosa. O presidente norte-americano chamou as ofensivas de “excelentes”, e advertiu a República Islâmica que “poderemos acabar esse conflito sangrento” se os EUA ou seus cidadãos forem alvos. Em outra declaração, relembrou seu histórico de negociações, afirmando que Israel e Irã “logo farão um acordo”, num eco ao processo entre Índia e Paquistão. Não surpreende que seus aliados no Congresso estejam divididos. O líder republicano do Senado, John Thune, pediu respostas militares em caso de ataque a americanos. Em plena “Fox News Sunday”, ele afirmou que os EUA lançariam “toda sua força” se Teerã ousasse visar a América. Já o senador Rand Paul condenou qualquer intervenção, dizendo que “não é papel dos EUA entrar nessa guerra”. Essa tensão dentro do Partido Republicano é visível: parte do grupo defende apoio sem restrições a Israel, combinando retórica beligerante e reforço militar, enquanto a ala “America First”, alertada por Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene e Rand Paul, pressiona para que Trump não arraste os EUA para um conflito prolongado. E Trump? Ele segue em seu próprio labirinto estratégico. Retomou a campanha de “máxima pressão” sobre o Irã, com sanções fortes e envio de defesas antiaéreas à região. Tudo isso sem autorizar tropas terrestres nem ataques diretos. Pivô dessa atuação, vetou o assassinato de Khamenei, mas encorajou os israelenses a manter elevados ataques contra instalações nucleares e militares iranianas — ao mesmo tempo que sinalizou abertura a negociações indiretas. A pressão interna é intensa: Trump precisa manter seus apoiadores MAGA (Make America Great Again) satisfeitos, sem abrir mão de parecer firme em defesa de Israel. E isso enquanto a economia interna pode ser afetada por choques nos preços do petróleo, típicos de conflitos no Oriente Médio. As próximas 48 horas serão decisivas. Caso o Irã ataque bases ou cidadãos americanos, Trump já deixou claro que o país responderá com força total. Por outro lado, se persistir a escalada apenas entre Israel e Irã, ele aposta na desescalada diplomática — talvez no G7 — para evitar que os EUA sejam tragados num confronto maior. Mas o jogo é arriscado. Um míssil errado ou um ataque a interesses americanos pode jogar o país numa rota de guerra direta, exatamente o cenário que a ala isolacionista teme. E Trump, com sua combinação de bravata, veto calculado e diplomacia relâmpago, está novamente no comando de um equilíbrio frágil, um fino limite entre contenção e confronto.

You know how people are always saying, "What happens in California often doesn't stay here"? They're so right! Case in point: home insurance. When natural disasters happen, home insurance is how folks are able to rebuild. But when natural disasters happen over and over again, like the wildfires in California, home insurance companies become overwhelmed. And it's not just a California issue. In Iowa and Oklahoma, residents are currently recovering from tornadoes. In North Carolina, families are still reeling from Hurricane Helene. And natural disasters across the country are likely to get more common—and more powerful—because of climate change. So, we spoke to Crooked Climate Correspondent Anya Zoledziowski about how climate change is going to make your home insurance more expensive.And in headlines: California Democrat Rep. Pete Aguilar goes toe to toe with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over federal forces in LA; President Trump threatens potential protesters of his upcoming military parade; Republican Sen. John Thune is feeling good about a certain big, beautiful bill; and Greta Thunberg is among activists deported by Israel after attempting to bring aid to Gaza.Show Notes:Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

In this fiery and deeply analytical segment, Tara dives into the surprising role Elon Musk played in pushing real budget cuts forward—forcing Speaker Mike Johnson and Senator John Thune to greenlight the long-stalled Doge cuts and setting the stage for 11 more deficit-reduction bills. Tara lays out how the SALT deduction is the primary obstacle to meaningful reform, costing $350 billion and benefiting high-tax blue states at everyone else's expense. She warns of a looming debt crisis if Republicans continue Biden-style spending and praises Musk for highlighting hard truths ignored by Congress. The conversation shifts into national security, exposing how the Biden administration's border policies and ICE attacks may have opened the door to catastrophic threats. A must-listen if you care about fiscal sanity, national security, or simply want to understand how media manipulation and political gamesmanship intersect.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- For the most part, our local media is just the worst. Our illustrious governor has been touting our increased graduation rates in the state of Minnesota and our media outlets have been singing his praises as though he is the second coming of Woodrow Wilson. The problem? They haven't done one ounce of research to find out why more people are graduating. It doesn't take much effort to find out that the graduation standards have been lowered. All it takes is a little slight of hand to fool everyone into applauding for a complete illusion. President Trump has has an historic first 100 days. The Republicans hold the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. They should just have to come in after President Trump and codify his Executive Orders into law. They have passed two things in 100 days, the Laken Riley Act and the continuing resolution. Where is Congress? They have promised President Trump a big, beautiful bill and it's still stuck in Congress. This bill won't even address Trump's "no taxes on tips" and "no taxes on overtime" campaign promises. There are a couple of bills floating around about the Gulf of America and repealing the Patriot Act, but will they ever get through committee?

In Episode 2 of The Shipwreck Show, host Shipwreck delivers a fiery and deeply personal breakdown of the controversy surrounding Dr. Casey Means, President Trump's pick for Surgeon General. With equal parts sass and substance, Shipwreck defends Means from media hit pieces, influencer takedowns, and big pharma gatekeepers, arguing that her holistic stance, food-as-medicine philosophy, and public criticism of seed oils make her exactly the kind of disruptor America needs. The episode also takes aim at a comatose Congress, literally, with viral footage of lawmakers sleeping on the House floor and doing nothing to advance Trump's agenda. From Big Pharma lobbyist influence to John Thune's tone-deaf opposition to drug price reform, Shipwreck calls out the performative dysfunction of D.C. with her signature unfiltered honesty. She mixes in stories about raising healthy kids, sourcing local meat, natural medicine, and even roasting James O'Keefe's Epstein “exclusive” for being all paywall, no payoff. With humor, passion, and an unapologetic mom-on-a-mission energy, Shipwreck makes the case for reclaiming health, truth, and political accountability, one rant at a time. It's raw, real, and wildly relatable. This isn't just commentary. It's a call to wake the hell up.

www.commsolutionsmn.com- It was a big week as we lost George Foreman, Kitty Dukakis, and Val Kilmer. The former and the latter gave us so much in the realm of entertainment and it's sad to see them go. President Trump has been lighting it up this week. He enacted the tariffs, had the stock market tank, over 75 nations rushed to negotiate, and the tariffs are on a 90 day pause. China is now in the spotlight as it is trying to fight back, but doesn't have the financial strength to hold out. We'll see how long it lasts. Tim Walz took our $18 billion surplus to a projected $6 billion deficit. That is some of the worst financial mismanagement ever. Not one to learn a lesson, Walz just released his budget, and boy, is it a doozy. He also wants to expand the sales tax to some services that currently don't have one (like having your taxes done). He also wants to increase a healthcare surcharge on HMOs. There is also an anti-fraud provision included. In an effort to "fully fund education" he's cutting funding of some things, like text books, to non-public schools. He's not willing to cut the tax for our seniors on social security. We're one of a handful of states that still do that. Despite the cost for Southwest Rail doubling, it's still full steam ahead. These omnibus bills need to be done. Why won't the Republicans stand up and stop all of this spending? MN statutes say that bills should be single-issue, but they don't write them that way and the courts won't uphold the law.

Send us a textOn today's Beach Talk, Betsey Newehuyse and I break down the headlines as the President floods the zone with controversy, wielding Executive Orders like a wrecking ball to smash the federal government to pieces. In these gloomy, fear-filled times, we need a break—so we turn to baseball and college hoops. March Madness is here, and my LA Dodgers take on Betsey's Chicago Cubs in Tokyo, where fans are out in full force for their favorite Japanese superstars.  Meanwhile, I've been writing open letters to Senator John Thune, urging him to step up and put the brakes on the President's anti-democratic agenda. And now, Michael Kruse of Politico has taken notice, quoting my letters in his latest profile: "Does John Thune Have a Red Line When It Comes to Trump?"But the headlines only get darker—the administration is rounding up immigrants, with ICE Director Tom Homan invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to detain so-called “Venezuelan Terrorists” without due process. They've been shipped off to El Salvadorian prisons—unnamed, unidentified, uncharged. And then there's what I'm calling "The Chainsaw Massacre", a brutal purge of funding and jobs, engineered by Elon Musk himself. We dive into the real, personal stories behind these losses.Join us for all this and more on Beach Talk—because the news never stops, and neither do we.SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Send us a textEver heard the word patrimonialism? Neither had we—until we read Jonathan Rauch's eye-opening article in The Atlantic: "One Word Describes Trump." In this episode of The Two Kens, Ken Fong and I dive into what this term really means and why it's the key to understanding the new administration. Patrimonialism, a concept from sociologist Max Weber, describes rulers who claim to be the symbolic “father” of the people—personifying and controlling the state. Sound familiar? We break down the administration's first 60 days including mass firings, legal overreach, and dismantling of key government services; renaming the Gulf of Mexico and Mount Denali (yes, really); trade wars, territorial ambitions including Canada, Greenland, the Panama Canal, and the chaos strategy at play. We also talk about my letters to Senate Majority Leader John Thune—picked up by Politico and The New Yorker—urging him to take a stand. Plus, we tackle the Democratic Party's challenge in fighting back against this Republican power grab.

On Thursday's Mark Levin's Show, WMAL's Larry O'Connor fills in for Mark tonight, and he discusses how John Thune's office should bend over backwards to help President Trump to lock in the best team from his picks as possible. Trump's stunning win is a perfect example of the love that this country has for him and that he is needed. In addition, asylum seekers are a huge problem as the radical left and RINO's have done everything they can to allow asylum them to come into the country without proper vetting. Also, Joni Ernst does not agree with Pete Hegseth being the Secretary Of Defense. She claims that he does not have the experience to be the Secretary Of Defense and considers him to be a bad choice due to his strong support for avoiding women to be in the Military.
