Iran rejects U.S. nuclear weapons deal
Iran?s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stated on Wednesday that a U.S. offer regarding a nuclear deal goes against Iran?s national interests. He emphasized that Iran doesn?t need approval from the U.S. or any other country to make its own decisions. Khamenei said true independence means not relying on permission from countries like the United States, and he called the proposal completely opposed to the principles of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. He also made it clear that Iran has no plans to stop enriching uranium, saying the nuclear program would be pointless without it. Questioning the U.S., he asked, ?Who are you to decide if we can have a nuclear program or not??

Colorado Rep. Gabe Evans reacts to Boulder attack
Rep. Gabe Evans (R-Colorado) joins LiveNOW's Andrew Craft to discuss the attack in Boulder, where 12 people were injured when hit with Molotov cocktails during an event advocating for the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza. The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, was charged with 16 counts of attempted murder and federal hate crime. He was heard yelling "Free Palestine" as he threw the makeshift incendiary devices at the crowd. Authorities say Soliman is an Egyptian national who had overstayed his visa. He was previously banned from purchasing a gun in Colorado because of his immigration status. Rep. Evans said that should have flagged authorities, which he believes could have ultimately prevented the Sunday attack.
