President Trump rejects latest offer from Iran, won't comply with War Powers Act; AP reporter Ali Swenson on new Surgeon General nominee

President Donald Trump says he is rejecting the latest offer from Iran to end the war with the U.S. and Israel, and the President says he is not complying with the War Powers Act to withdraw U.S. forces after 60 days or get Congressional authorization because no other President has followed that law. His administration is also arguing the 60-day clock stopped with the ceasefire; President Trump has threatened this week to withdraw U.S. troops from Germany and some other European countries whose leaders have been critical of his handling of the war with Iran. We will talk about that with Wall Street Journal National Security Correspondent Michael Gordon (13) ; The President visits The Villages retirement community in Florida to promote new tax provisions that benefit seniors such as 'no tax on Social Security'; President Trump withdraws the nomination of Dr. Casey Means for Surgeon General, who had lost support of pivotal Republican Senators and nominates Dr. Nicole Saphier instead. We will talk about that with Associated Press National Political Reporter Ali Swenson (36); former President Joe Biden makes his first endorsement of the campaign season, Keisha Lance Bottoms for governor of Georgia; Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) gives life-lesson advice to the graduates at her alma mater, Michigan State University. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
