On Saturday, President Trump launched a major military attack on Iran, a bombing from the sky, bombing from naval vessels. It was done in close coordination with Israel that likewise launched a bombing attack. In the opening minutes and hours of the attack, the Ayatollah Khamenei was killed. Other major leaders of Iran were killed. The bombing is ongoing. You and I are recording this Sunday afternoon. As of right now, over 900 bombing strikes have been carried out by the United States. Over 1,200 bombing strikes have been carried out by Israel. I spent the entire day on Friday with President Trump.

That gunman, in turn, was shot and killed by Austin police. early indicia make it appear that this was a terrorist attack. He was wearing a sweatshirt that said property of Allah. He was wearing a shirt with the Iranian flag on it. It is still early. I spoke today with Kash Patel, the director of the FBI. We're going to break that down as well.
