Megyn begins the show by breaking down the consequential and successful U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites, Iran’s decades-long threat to the United States, President Donald Trump’s decision to take this action at this time, the current divide in the MAGA movement, and more.
Then, Victor Davis Hanson, author of The End of Everything, joins to discuss criticism against Trump and his administration from both the far left and the MAGA right over the strikes on Iran, the hypocrisy from Democrats compared to how they reacted to Barack Obama’s military actions, Trump’s rational approach to foreign policy, the precision and professionalism of Trump’s secret Iran nuclear mission, how the operation reflects a level of military competence rarely acknowledged, why the action doesn’t constitute entering a war, and more.
Finally, Emily Jashinsky, host of After Party with Emily Jashinsky, joins to discuss Iran’s retaliatory strikes on U.S. military bases in the Middle East following the Trump administration’s mission, whether this was actually a coordinated effort to symbolically respond without escalating the conflict, the conservative and MAGA case against Trump’s actions, the potential the strikes have a negative affect on Americans abroad and domestically, Ariana Grande’s social media post sharing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) call for Trump to be impeached, the potential for celebrities to get political in another war-like scenario, her new MK Media show launching tonight with Tucker Carlson, and more.
