It's Wednesday, June 19th.
I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day,
the show that heard President Donald Trump say that calling Minnesota Governor Tim Walz after the murder of two lawmakers would,
quote, waste time.
Because if we know anything about Donald Trump,
it's that he is deeply task-oriented, as long as the task is about him.
On today's show, it turns out the American people are not so jazzed about the big,
not-so-beautiful bill.
And masked immigration and customs enforcement agents arrest a New York City elected official.
But let's start with Iran and Israel.
You know, an easygoing, calm, non-controversial, non-anxiety-inducing subject.
Since the situation is so volatile, I want you to know that we're recording at 4.45 p.m.
Pacific on Tuesday.
Let's rewind a bit.
On the evening of Thursday, June 12th, Pacific time,
Israel launched a massive attack on Iranian nuclear facilities and military sites.
And since then, the two countries have been firing a barrage of missiles and drones at one another,
resulting in hundreds of casualties.
A spokesperson for the Israeli military claimed on Monday that it had achieved,
quote, full aerial superiority over Iranian airspace.
