Ep. 603 - Trump Threatens Canada & China, Iran Strikes Iraq & Kurds amid Unrest, Maine Dem. Circus

from The Tony Kinnett Cast · host The Daily Signal

President Trump used his primetime address last night to zero in on Chinese espionage against the United States, declassifying intelligence he says shows Beijing carried out a massive compromise of American voter data. Now he's turning his fire on Canada, threatening new tariffs over wildfire smoke choking American skies. Meanwhile Iran expanded its war to a seventh straight night, striking Kuwait's water supply, U.S. Kurdish allies in Iraq, and multiple Gulf states as unrest reportedly grows inside Iran itself. And Maine Democrats' first debate to replace disgraced candidate Graham Platner was, by every account, an absolute train wreck. TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN: - President Trump's primetime address shines a light on Chinese espionage against the United States, as newly declassified intelligence reveals the scale of Beijing's data compromise - Trump threatens new tariffs on Canada over wildfire smoke blanketing American skies, demanding Ottawa "do something" about the fires - Iran expands its war to a seventh straight night, striking a Kuwaiti water desalination plant, U.S.-allied Kurdish forces in Iraq, and targets across the UAE, Qatar, and Jordan as unrest grows inside Iran itself - Maine Democrats hold their first debate to replace disgraced Senate candidate Graham Platner — and it turns into an instant national punchline - Olive Garden's pasta pass requires a photo ID. American elections in over a dozen states still don't.
