Description

Aaron McIntire covers President Trump saying he doesn't think the suspected plague case at a Siberian lab is a bioweapon, even as Russia says it's under control, and the FBI sting that stopped an alleged ISIS-inspired plot against the Mall of America. Prosecutors say 18-year-old Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud bought an inert AK-47 and about 200 rounds from an undercover agent, and he is charged with receiving a firearm to commit a federal crime of terrorism. He also covers the White House announcement that about 70 million children are now automatically enrolled in Trump Accounts, and an undercover video in which a Talarico campaign organizing manager says most of her coworkers are Marxists. Aaron plays Senator Thom Tillis defending Mitch McConnell's mental sharpness, an Ottumwa, Iowa city council meeting that opened with a Satanic invocation, and Zach Lahn's debate confrontation with Rob Sand over residency attacks. He closes with Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech in Athens warning that the West faces a choice between renewal and decline.
