Listen "Foreign Dough"
Episode Synopsis
A 17-year-old opened fire at an Iowa high school, killing a 6th grader and injuring 4 students and an administrator before dying by suicide. The US carried out an airstrike in Iraq killing a top militia commander, which Iraq says breaks agreements and has angered them. A report found Trump received at least $7.8 million from 20 foreign governments without consent while president, likely a fraction of actual foreign payments. The Islamic State took responsibility for the twin suicide bombings that killed 84 at a memorial for an Iranian general on Wednesday. Tensions continue after a Hamas leader was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, bringing the Secretary of State to the region. Tony Award-winning actress Glynis Johns, known for "Mary Poppins," died Thursday at 100. A 13-year-old became the first person to fully beat the original Tetris game by reaching its maximum possible score.
