Rachel then spoke to cartoonist and political commentator Scott Stantis about Kamala Harris' recent visit to Michigan, where she snapped at a member of the audience for criticizing her stance on the war in Gaza.
To open the last hour of the show, Rachel was joined by international relations and security analyst Mark Sleboda, who discussed the latest from Russia's Kursk region, where Ukrainian saboteurs attempted to advance amid significant losses in the Donbass.
In the final segment, Rachel spoke to independent journalist Julia Kassem about the ongoing tensions along the Lebanese-Israeli border, as the world awaits the potential Iranian retaliation for the assassination of Hamas political head Ismail Haniyeh.
