The Rising Economic Impact of the Iran War, Public Approval of Congress Hits New Lows, Bruce Springsteen’s Anti-Trump Tour & California’s Controversial New Bill

The escalating conflict with Iran is no longer just a military or geopolitical issue—it's a global economic crisis in the making, with jet fuel prices doubling to $200 a barrel and airfares expected to rise 25% this summer. Bill O’Reilly argues that the mullahs are deliberately provoking a worldwide recession to break Western resolve, and that President Trump’s bold stance—most notably halting the execution of eight young Iranian women protesters—may be the only thing preventing total collapse. Yet Trump’s approval rating has plummeted to 33%, and Congress is even worse, with just 10% approval. O’Reilly condemns the political paralysis, especially from figures like Connecticut’s Murphy and Texas’s Roy, who he claims are undermining national unity. Meanwhile, Bruce Springsteen’s anti-Trump tour is exposed as hypocritical, with ticket prices reaching $2,900 in New Jersey—money O’Reilly claims Springsteen keeps, not donates. In California, a controversial bill (AB 2624) seeks to criminalize investigative journalism on immigration services, threatening free press. The Department of Justice has also indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 counts of fraud, alleging it paid white supremacists to create chaos and then profited from the backlash. O’Reilly closes with a damning indictment of the Bronx’s justice system, where two attackers of police were acquitted despite video evidence, and a new book, *Confronting America, What Has to Change?
