President Trump is focused on redecorating the White House while the world waits to know if he will bomb Iran, Israel’s prime minister freaked out the president with a blood-soaked gift, and the MAGA world is being torn in half by a fight between war hawks like Ted Cruz and isolationists like Tucker Carlson. Should Americans have to put up with gangs of unaccountable ICE thugs roaming our streets doing whatever they want? And should Defense Secretary Hegseth be forced to answer whether he’s given the military orders to fire on American civilians? And “M3GAN 2.0” star Allison Williams treats Stephen to a peek inside her bizarre thought process as a young woman staring out her bedroom window at night. “M3GAN 2.0” hits theaters on June 27th.
