If DJT hadn’t backed out of the deal Obama negotiated to monitor the Iranian nuclear development, we wouldn’t be in this predicament now.

Interesting conversation. It sounds like this administration is hell bent on creating their own version of what has occurred with this mission in Iran. With everything that has happened since he took office, I believe Trump is an enemy of the people. He and this administration cannot be trusted, period.

NOKINGS protest should happen every other week , coast to coast. There needs to be relentless protest pushback. Taco Tits and his legions of brainwashed narciissic bullies melt when faced with strong opposition.

Whether they obliterated the facilities or not, was not and will never be the point. This was all about wagging the dog.

The Felon's BS bill is going to remove 11,000,000 persons from having healthcare, deny food for millions of children and continue to transfer wealth to the top 1% from the Middle Class and the poor.

The Felon's immigration policies are sending persons to gulags without a hearing in the court of law. There are still 250 persons in El Salvador who never had a hearing.

The Felon's masked thugs are violating US citizens rights on a daily basis.

The Felon's on again off again are tariffs are hurting small businesses all over the Country.

With the full support of the six Christian Nationalists on the Supreme Court and the GOP Congressional members the Felon is making the US an authoritarian theocracy, with the Felon as its leader and the American oligarchs running the Country.

Thank you Katie. Truth is the key.

The consequences of one bombing mission did not change the equation between Iran and Israel or for the USA in a good way. We learned that lesson a couple of wars ago. Proxies like North Korea, Russia, or China are possible suppliers of actual weapons, and they have nuclear weapons. The simplest mindset is to assume that Iran did not sequester other stockpiles. When you don't listen to Intel, when you surround yourself with ass-kissing eunuchs you act like "trump". That is the real threat.

Trump has made it clear on so many fronts that he doesn’t care about the Constitution at all. He, and so many members of the GOP, must have kept their fingers crossed behind their backs when they took their oaths. It is shameful that our proud and loyal servicemen and women will pay the price for their lack of commitment to our country. Will our intelligence community ever be able to regain their integrity? Will we ever be able to believe any information they release or will it always be overshadowed with doubt? Maybe if someone gave Trump a random gold trophy, once a week or so, for something benign like nicest tie or greatest golf swing, he would be so distracted that he wouldn’t open his mouth and make things worse (or more dangerous) for others on the world stage. Thank you for helping to clarify what is actually going on...honesty is refreshing.

Of course the Israeli intelligence is really good, because Trump listened to them instead of our own American intelligence.

Maybe DJT couldn’t keep his mouth shut, giving Iran enough heads up to move critical pieces??

Dear Janet- I agree that Iran had advance notice of the bombing.

I’m thinking it’s due to Trump’s constant contact with his puppet-master Putin ( who controls Iran) along with the dismal security systems demonstrated by his incompetent defense secretary Pete and his other regime advisors.

Oh yeah, I believe the Iranians are going to build a bomb. A baaaaad one.

Check with Adam Kinsinger and hear what his take is on the bombing in Iran. Kinsinger thinks it wasn’t illegal.

I listened to that. Very interesting. I still think it was illegal and it’s about the Iranian resources. Not truly about nukes. But about oil, antimony, and stealing Gaza and land.

That’s why the Democrats need to stand up and fight representative Hines.

People are worried about their jobs and families .

So it is time for politicians to fight for us !!

Correct. Pearl Harbor — imminent. WTC - imminent.

Jim Himes did everything he could to prevent Bernie Sanders from being able to run in 2016. He also strongly opposed Elizabeth Warren. He voted to censure Al Green following Trump's Pinocchio "state of the union" address (more than an hour and a half with more than two falsehoods per minute). Jim Himes is a spineless DINO, and Katie, you should be ashamed to have him on your show!

Thanks Katie! I'm a 30-year nonproliferation expert, former UN staffer, turned citizen activist. I am spreading the word that there is an overhype about how dangerous this situation is for Americans, and my assessment is that we all need to look at the facts and NOT PANIC. Keep up the great work--glad to have you here! https://shalyn8.substack.com/p/why-americans-dont-need-to-panic
