About this episode
First: President Trump insists the US strikes on Iran "obliterated" the regime's nuclear capabilities. But he also concedes it may be too early to really know how much was destroyed.
Plus: In the New York Democratic mayoral primary, a 33-year-old Democratic Socialist toppled the former governor, not to mention many others in the party's establishment. Is it a one-off upset or a blueprint for progressives moving forward?
And: The president nominated his former personal lawyer and enforcer for a seat on the federal bench. We're tracking a key Senate hearing as he tries to convince senators he can be fair and impartial on the bench.
