US-Iran Talks Stall; Senate Passes Bill to Fund ICE and CBP
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) There was no sign of progress in ceasefire talks between the US and Iran after the worst burst of violence in weeks. President Trump said ceasefire talks are in the “final” stages, while Iran’s foreign minister said the negotiations had stalled. Hezbollah militants rejected a US-brokered truce in Lebanon, with its chief calling the deal “absurd” and refusing to link its presence in Lebanon with stopping the war.2) The Senate passed a $69.5 billion bill to fund two immigration enforcement agencies over three years, resolving a months-long dispute. The bill includes $26 billion for Customs and Border Protection, $38.5 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and $5 billion for additional border support. The bill now heads to the House for a vote before being sent to President Donald Trump's desk for his signature.3) Russian President Vladimir Putin pushed back at prospects for European leaders to help negotiate an end to his war in Ukraine, dismissing them as mediators. Putin reiterated that he’d reached an agreement with President Trump on what he said was a compromise peace deal at their summit in Anchorage, and that EU states could play a role in ending the war by convincing Kyiv to agree to compromises. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued an open letter to Putin calling on him to meet directly to settle the war, and said that both Europe and the US should be part of the process of ending the war.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Iran Says No Progress in US Talks, Knicks Take NBA Finals Game 1
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Iran said there had been no recent progress in talks with the US over an interim peace deal, while fighting persisted in Lebanon despite Washington’s declaration of a ceasefire between Israel and the country.Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said late Wednesday that “no tangible progress has been achieved in the negotiation process” with the US, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.2) US forces intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles and drones aimed at neighboring Middle East countries and struck a command center in Iran in response. The exchange followed days of Israeli military escalation against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, prompting a phone call between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Tensions remain high after the US attacked Iranian radar and command-and-control sites, with Iran trying to target an air base in retaliation and the US and Israel having different ideas about what an end to the war should look like.3) The New York Knicks' winning streak lives on, and they struck first in the NBA Finals.Jalen Brunson scored 30 points, Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds, and the Knicks erased a 14-point second-half deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 105-95 in Game 1 of the finals on Wednesday night.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

California Runoff and Other Primary Races; Iran Escalation
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) We wrap a number of major primary elections across the country. Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra surged to the top of California’s crowded gubernatorial primary, with billionaire Tom Steyer trailing in the contest. In Los Angeles mayor's race, incumbent Karen Bass has been forced into a runoff and could face Republican Spencer Pratt, who is leading second place. In a New Jersey House district which could prove key for Republicans holding their majority in November, former Navy helicopter pilot Rebecca Bennett is projected to win the Democratic primary. 2) US forces intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles and drones aimed at neighboring Middle East countries and struck a command center in Iran in response. The exchange followed days of Israeli military escalation against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, prompting a phone call between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Tensions remain high after the US attacked Iranian radar and command-and-control sites, with Iran trying to target an air base in retaliation and the US and Israel having different ideas about what an end to the war should look like.3) The US is proposing a new tariff of at least 10% on imports from 60 trading partners, following an investigation into how trade partners handle goods allegedly produced by forced labor. A 10% tariff rate would apply to imports from Canada, Mexico, the European Union, Taiwan and the UK, among other places, while products from other major economies, including China, India, Japan, South Korea, Brazil and Switzerland, would be subject to a 12.5% levy. The levies won't go into effect immediately and are subject to a public comment and review period before implementation, which could result in changes before any duties are codified, with written comments due by July 6 and public hearings beginning on July 7.4) CBS News fired 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley after he confronted his new boss at an internal meeting on Monday. Pelley had questioned the qualifications of Nick Bilton, who was appointed to lead the CBS newsmagazine, and accused CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss of “murdering” the program. Pelley said the leadership of 60 Minutes is "no longer recognizable" and that the principles he holds dear are gone, which is why he must leave.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US, Israel Clash Over Lebanon, Threatening Iran Negotiations
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) President Trump says he thinks the US can reach an interim peace deal with Iran soon, with discussions continuing "at a rapid pace." Iran's negotiators are discussing their "final text" to send to the US, but are wary of the US due to previous breached pledges. A ceasefire in Lebanon is a key part of the potential memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran, with Iran insisting on a stop to fighting as part of the deal.2) The White House will reduce tariffs on agricultural equipment, such as combines and harvesters, to reduce costs for US farmers and manufacturers. The tariffs would drop to 15% from 25%, with a lower 10% duty rate possible if capital equipment contains at least 85% US steel or aluminum. The concession takes effect June 8 and would run through the end of 2027, according to a White House fact sheet.3) The Trump administration's plans to scrap a $1.8 billion legal fund for victims of alleged government "weaponization" have been met with skepticism from Republican senators. The fund was created as part of a settlement resolving the president's lawsuit against the IRS over the 2019 leak of his tax information, and was intended to compensate those alleging they were victims of politically motivated investigations or legal action. Several Republican senators have demanded public assurances that the fund is dead, with Senate Majority Leader John Thune saying "that would be the ideal outcome" and that the administration should make clear the fund won't be established.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US & Iran Trade Deal Drafts; Oil Rises From Six-Week Low
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes. On today's podcast:1) The US and Iran traded messages over the weekend seeking changes to a draft agreement that would extend a ceasefire and open the Strait of Hormuz, but it was unclear whether the sides were making much progress. As the diplomatic exchanges continued, Israel expanded its ground assault in Lebanon, shattering a brittle truce with its northern neighbor. President Trump said his proposed deal states clearly “that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon,” according to a post on Truth Social. Trump hadn’t spoken on the subject of Iran since a White House Situation Room meeting Friday in which he said he expected to announce an agreement. In a social media post earlier that day, he reiterated his demands, including that Iran suspend its nuclear program and fully restore the strait to its earlier status as a free, international waterway. The semi-official Tasnim news agency, which has close ties to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said Sunday that both sides continued to propose amendments, but noted that the US and Iran could ultimately reject the changes, causing the deal to collapse.2) Oil rose from a six-week low amid uncertainty over the outlook for a peace deal to end the war in Iran. Brent advanced to around $93 a barrel after closing at its lowest since mid-April on Friday, while West Texas Intermediate rose to near $90. The US and Iran traded messages over the weekend seeking changes to a draft agreement that would extend a ceasefire and open the Strait of Hormuz, but it was unclear if the sides were making much progress. The standoff follows a bout of optimism that some form of peace agreement would be reached — and that energy flows would resume through the Strait of Hormuz — that had caused the first monthly drop in crude prices this year. Brent is still up more than a quarter since the war started at the end of February, as the near-total closure of the vital waterway causes unprecedented turmoil in oil markets.3) Nvidia is entering the personal computer market with a new chip aimed at loosening Intel’s long-standing stranglehold on the sector and modernizing machines for the artificial intelligence era. Starting this fall, the new RTX Spark Superchip will debut in premium laptop and desktop computers from leading brands, including Dell and Lenovo, Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang announced during a keynote speech at the Computex trade show in Taiwan. Huang also announced that next-generation Vera central processing units will enter full production in the third quarter of this year, marking the company's first standalone data center microprocessor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US and Iran Reach Preliminary Deal; Dell Soars on Outlook
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The US and Iran have reached a preliminary deal to extend a ceasefire by 60 days and discuss the future of Tehran’s nuclear program, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. Vice President JD Vance said the US and Iran are “going back and forth on a couple of language points,” including over issues relating to Tehran’s nuclear capabilities, and that Iran appears to be negotiating in good faith. The US Treasury Secretary reiterated President Trump’s three “red lines” — reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Iran surrendering highly enriched uranium and ending its nuclear program — remain in place.2) Dell shares soared in extended trading after the company gave an outlook for annual sales that far surpassed analysts’ estimates. Revenue in the fiscal year ending in January 2027 will be about $167 billion, including $60 billion from the sale of AI servers, according to the company. Dell’s server business has been viewed as an AI winner this year, sparking the stock more than 150% higher through Thursday’s close.3) Anthropic PBC raised $65 billion in a funding round that valued the artificial intelligence company at $965 billion including the new investment. The funding was led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks and Sequoia Capital, with each of the lead investors putting in more than $2 billion. Alphabet Inc.'s Google and Amazon.com Inc. also invested in the round, with Google contributing several billion dollars and Amazon investing $5 billion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US Bombs More Iran Targets, Growing Fed Inflation Fears
Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) The US struck Iranian military targets for the second time this week and Kuwait said it responded to missile and drone threats, highlighting the fragility of the ceasefire. US forces shot down Iranian drones fired at a commercial ship and hit a launch unit near the Strait of Hormuz, according to a US official, who said the attacks were defensive and the ceasefire remains intact. President Trump asserted that no one nation would control Hormuz, which has emerged as one of the key obstacles in resolving the conflict, and said the strait's going to be open to everybody.2) Federal Reserve Vice Chair Philip Jefferson said he expects inflation to cool later this year as the effects of tariffs and higher energy costs wear off, though he warned inflationary risks remain tilted to the upside. In the text of a speech he’s scheduled to deliver Thursday morning in Tokyo at a conference hosted by the Bank of Japan, Jefferson said he is watching for signs that higher energy costs stemming from the Iran war are dragging on consumer spending. He also cautioned that he continues to see signs of labor market weakness. Jefferson repeated his view that the central bank’s current policy setting is well positioned to respond to any developments.3) Salesforce gave a revenue outlook for the current period that just fell short of analysts' estimates, with revenue expected to be about $11.3 billion in the fiscal second quarter. The company reported fiscal first-quarter remaining performance obligations of $67.9 billion, compared with analysts' average estimate of $68.9 billion, and its stock has declined about 33% this year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
