Topics
Donald Trump: 我目前尚未最终决定是否加入以色列对伊朗的打击。我倾向于在最后一刻才做决定，因为局势瞬息万变，尤其是在战争时期。虽然我没有完全排除外交途径，并且认为伊朗可能愿意与美国进行谈判，但伊朗最高领袖哈梅内伊已经拒绝了我之前提出的无条件投降的要求。 Steve Holland: MAGA运动中的许多重要人物都公开反对美国干预伊朗，包括Tucker Carlson和Marjorie Taylor Greene等有影响力的声音。Marjorie Taylor Greene明确表示，美国不应卷入另一场海外战争，这引起了很多人的共鸣。Steve Bannon也表达了类似的观点，认为再次干预中东会撕裂国家，重蹈伊拉克战争的覆辙。 Marjorie Taylor Greene: 我们不应该卷入另一场外国战争，美国应该把重点放在国内。 Steve Bannon: 我们不能再像伊拉克战争那样重蹈覆辙，那会撕裂我们的国家。

And the administration resumes student visa appointments but will scrutinize applications’ online presence for any hostility towards the U.S.

*Note: This episode has been corrected to remove a reference to this being the sixth day of Israel-Iran attacks. It is the seventh.
