Fire Markwayne Mullin? | Iran Deal 'Imminent' Again | RFK Jr. Destroys Dana Bash | 8/3/26

from The A.M. Update

Aaron McIntire covers backlash toward DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin after he told Democrat governors at the National Governors Association meeting that ICE will focus on the worst offenders rather than mass deportations, a stance Aaron says falls short of Trump's campaign promise. He contrasts that with new numbers claiming over 1.4 million forced removals over the past year, and covers 14 Republican senators calling to cancel the August recess until the SAVE America Act passes. Aaron notes President Trump's latest claim that a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and denuclearize Iran is imminent. He covers the escalating fight in women's sports after Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve wore a Trans Kids Belong shirt in response to Sophie Cunningham's comments, plus a financial settlement for pro-life activist Paul Vaughn over his Biden-era FBI raid. Aaron closes with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s combative CNN interview with Dana Bash on vaccine hesitancy.
