As the situation unfolds, Trump contemplates potential military retaliation while emphasizing his desire to avoid unnecessary conflict. Thankfully, the two airmen involved were rescued, but the implications of this incident could have far-reaching consequences for U.S.-Iran relations. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer returns to discuss his explosive report detailing over $9 billion in fraud, waste, and abuse within Minnesota's entitlement programs. Comer reveals how Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison allegedly turned a blind eye to the rampant fraud, driven by concerns over political repercussions from a significant voting block.
