For now, a cease-fire between Iran and Israel appears to be holding, following a 12 day period of fighting between the two countries that culminated in an attack on three Iranian nuclear sites by the US, and a counterattack by Iran on an American military base in Qatar.

The strikes, and subsequent peace agreement, have been met with a variety of responses from American lawmakers.

Congressman Michael Baumgartner joins us to discuss.

Plus: how he’s feeling six months into representing the 5th Congressional District, and why he voted in favor of President Trump’s big, beautiful, bill.
