Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) We wrap a number of major primary elections across the country. Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra surged to the top of California’s crowded gubernatorial primary, with billionaire Tom Steyer trailing in the contest. In Los Angeles mayor's race, incumbent Karen Bass has been forced into a runoff and could face Republican Spencer Pratt, who is leading second place. In a New Jersey House district which could prove key for Republicans holding their majority in November, former Navy helicopter pilot Rebecca Bennett is projected to win the Democratic primary. 
2) US forces intercepted Iranian ballistic missiles and drones aimed at neighboring Middle East countries and struck a command center in Iran in response. The exchange followed days of Israeli military escalation against Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, prompting a phone call between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Tensions remain high after the US attacked Iranian radar and command-and-control sites, with Iran trying to target an air base in retaliation and the US and Israel having different ideas about what an end to the war should look like.
3) The US is proposing a new tariff of at least 10% on imports from 60 trading partners, following an investigation into how trade partners handle goods allegedly produced by forced labor. A 10% tariff rate would apply to imports from Canada, Mexico, the European Union, Taiwan and the UK, among other places, while products from other major economies, including China, India, Japan, South Korea, Brazil and Switzerland, would be subject to a 12.5% levy. The levies won't go into effect immediately and are subject to a public comment and review period before implementation, which could result in changes before any duties are codified, with written comments due by July 6 and public hearings beginning on July 7.
4) CBS News fired 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley after he confronted his new boss at an internal meeting on Monday. Pelley had questioned the qualifications of Nick Bilton, who was appointed to lead the CBS newsmagazine, and accused CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss of “murdering” the program. Pelley said the leadership of 60 Minutes is "no longer recognizable" and that the principles he holds dear are gone, which is why he must leave.
