Protests and upsets at the World Cup

The United States will either win the World Cup game against Iran or go home on Tuesday afternoon. The stakes are high and so are tensions. Iran state media has called for the U.S. to be kicked out of the World Cup, after the U.S. changed the Iranian flag on its social media platforms to show support for protesters there. And the Iranian soccer team may be facing its own repercussions back home for its support of protests. Plus, the world’s largest active volcano is erupting. And, President Biden looks to Congress to avert a rail strike. Guests: Axios' Jeff Tracy and Hawaii Public Radio’s Jason Ubay.
