Transcript:

The United States is at war — or are we?

The administration can’t decide. On the one hand, we’re not at war because they didn’t get a declaration. On the other hand, Pete Hegseth says this is a war.

In any case, the anti-war president has launched regime change. The Ayatollah Khamenei is dead. American troops have already been killed, and Trump casually says that’s the way it is, and there will be more US troops killed.

Now, meanwhile, the so-called regime change operation is being characterized five different ways, depending on which legal problem they’re trying to solve. And as if that were not enough, we’ve got reports that war plans were being bragged about out loud in a DC restaurant hours before the bombs fell.

Remember when Tulsi Gabbard warned us about unconstitutional war powers when it wasn’t Trump as president? Well, both Tulsi’s old statements and Ted Cruz’s new ones really undercut the legality and the purpose of what is happening in Iran.

And now the question becomes: what is the plan, and who is really in control here?

All of that and more today.
