Iran Kills U.S. Troops | Olive Garden's ID Check | Disaffected Dems: Put Up or Shut Up | 7/20/26

from The A.M. Update

Aaron McIntire covers the U.S. military's response after Iranian strikes on a base in Jordan left two American service members dead and one missing, plus new Iranian attacks on Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan over the weekend. He digs into a $60 billion wave of U.S. business deals with Iraq aimed at building alternative oil shipping routes around the Strait of Hormuz. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz continues defending his pardon of a convicted child rapist, and Aaron reacts to Tom Homan's compromise plan requiring ICE agents to wear body cameras within two months. He also covers a viral Olive Garden customer service exchange over its Never Ending Pasta Pass ID policy, and a widely mocked answer from Maine Senate candidate Ashley Webb about her qualifications for office. Aaron closes by highlighting Bill Maher and Senator John Fetterman's blunt criticism of their own party's drift toward figures like streamer Hasan Piker.
