This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition for The Office or something? I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchorman.

How are artists responding to Trump's 250th event?
We have an amazing show for everybody today. What do we have, Crystal? Indeed, we do. A lot of breaking news that we added to the show this morning. There is a new exchange of fire between the U.S. and Iran. Trump is complaining about people chirping, making it harder to get a deal. Jeffrey Sachs is going to join us to talk about all of that. He's also going to take a look at the continued economic fallout. And it's some very interesting comments from an economic advisor to the president, Kevin Hassett. Is that his name? Kevin? Anyway. Yes, that's right. After major cancellations, Trump is floating canceling all America 250 performances and just giving a rally speech because we've never seen that before.
What are the implications of the US-Iran conflict for international relations?
Israel is being integrated deeply into our defense industrial base. Brandon Weikert is going to join us with his analysis of that, but it is not too late to stop. So we all need to take action right away to make sure this provision does not go forward. Graham Plattner and his wife are responding to sexting allegations from a disgruntled former campaign staffer and a bunch of centrist Dems are low-key suggesting that Democrats should vote for the Republican instead. And Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker were both blocked. from entering the UK over their Israel criticism, absolute insanity. Cenk is going to join us live to tell us what happened in his reaction. Totally and completely nuts. Thank you to everybody subscribing to the show, breakingpoints.com.
