Republicans Beating Newsom At His Own Game

Josh opens the show with a stunning allegation out of Washington—raising serious questions about whether a sitting Democrat in Congress is acting against U.S. interests. He breaks down Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s reported efforts to help Cuba secure oil and why actions like that push dangerously close to the line of undermining American policy abroad. Josh then turns to the latest in Iran, reacting to President Trump’s recent comments and asking the big question: have we actually won, or is this far from over? Later, Josh is joined by Rebeccah Heinrichs, Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, to assess where things stand with Iran and the real likelihood of a deal being reached. Josh also highlights a recent interview from Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, diving into what the Founding Fathers envisioned for the country—and what it truly takes to keep the nation strong today. He wraps up with the latest on redistricting battles and a look at the Los Angeles mayoral race following a contentious recent debate.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A man was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after pleading guilty to killing one person and injuring a dozen others while they were demonstrating in Boulder, Colorado, in support of Israeli hostages in Gaza. Mohamed Sabry Soliman looked down at a desk throughout sentencing. Soliman has meanwhile pleaded not guilty to federal hate crime charges. Prosecutors are weighing whether to seek the death penalty in the federal case. Authorities say Soliman threw two Molotov cocktails at demonstrators at a pedestrian mall. An 82-year-old woman who was injured in the attack later died. A dozen others were also injured.

Finally, There's Some Accountability

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A man accused of a firebomb attack on demonstrators in Boulder, Colorado, last year has pleaded guilty to murder and other charges. Mohamed Sabry Soliman entered the pleas Thursday in Boulder County District Court. On June 1, Soliman threw two Molotov cocktails at people who were demonstrating in support of Israeli hostages in Gaza. The attack injured 13 people including an 82-year-old woman who later died. Soliman initially pleaded not guilty to murder and dozens of attempted murder and assault charges. He now faces up to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Soliman continues to face federal hate crimes and other charges to which he has pleaded not guilty.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee lawmakers have passed a new U.S. House map that carves up a majority-Black district in Memphis. The new voting districts approved Thursday could give Republicans a chance to win all nine of the state’s congressional seats in the November midterm elections. Tennessee is the first state to adopt new districts since a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last week that significantly weakened federal Voting Rights Act protections for minorities. President Donald Trump has urged more Republican-led states to redraw their districts in light of the court ruling. Louisiana, Alabama and South Carolina also have taken steps toward redistricting.

BOGUE CHITTO, Miss. (AP) — Powerful storms that included at least three tornadoes tore through several Mississippi counties, damaging nearly 500 homes, tearing up trees and downing power lines. There were no immediate reports of deaths. At least 17 people have been injured during the storms that struck several counties Wednesday night. A mobile home park in Bogue Chitto was severely damaged. The National Weather Service says a large tornado moved from eastern Lincoln County into Lawrence County. Gov. Tate Reeves reported multiple tornadoes and said emergency response efforts are underway. More storms are expected Thursday across the Southeast.

LONDON (AP) — Police in England say a man has been arrested on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon near the home of the former Prince Andrew. It comes after reports that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was threatened by a masked man while walking his dogs. Norfolk Constabulary says the arrest came Wednesday after a man was reported “behaving in an intimidating manner.” The suspect is being held for questioning at a police station. The 66-year-old Mountbatten-Windsor moved to King Charles III’s private Sandringham Estate after he was evicted from his longtime home near Windsor Castle. Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested and held for hours by police in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office in a case related to his links to Jeffrey Epstein.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran has created a government agency to control and tax vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz. That's according to the shipping data company Lloyd's List Intelligence, which reported the move Thursday. The Iranian effort to formalize control over the channel raised new concerns about international shipping as hundreds of commercial ships remained bottled up in the Persian Gulf, unable to reach the open sea. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed Middle East peace efforts at the Vatican with Pope Leo XIV, whose opposition to the Iran war has led to open sparring with President Donald Trump.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed “efforts to achieve a durable peace in the Middle East” in talks at the Vatican aimed at easing tensions following U.S. President Donald Trump’s criticisms of Pope Leo XIV. Rubio met with Leo and then Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin on Thursday in a visit that lasted 2.5 hours. Also, Iran said it was reviewing the latest American proposals on ending the war, as Trump threatened the country with a new wave of bombing unless a deal is reached that includes reopening the crucial Strait of Hormuz to international shipping. The developments followed days of mixed messaging from the Trump administration over its strategy to end the war.
