Episode notes

Iran's army chief just put a $30,000 bounty on every American service member, doubled to $60,000 if a woman does the killing, per Iranian state media and reported from Breitbart to France 24. Major General Amir Hatami even promised the weapon used would be bought back at double its value and put on display in a museum. And here is the detail that exposes the whole thing: there are no known U.S. ground forces deployed inside Iran for anyone to collect on. A regime that cannot keep eggs on the shelves in Tehran is offering blood money it does not have.

Also in today's episode: nine Massachusetts Democrats break ranks and call their own party's new abortion law "extremist" and "barbaric." Xi Jinping throws a 100th birthday celebration for the man who ran China after Tiananmen and calls the massacre a "political storm." Trump slashes the Korea war games with less than 24 hours' notice. House Ethics opens a new probe on Capitol Hill. And a mother and daughter at a WNBA game are told two letters on a shirt are too dangerous to wear.

Six stories. Seven o'clock. The truth starts now.
