Transcript:
There’s a story going completely viral right now, claiming that Donald Trump tried to launch nuclear weapons against Iran and was stopped by a general over the weekend.
The story’s everywhere. It sounds insane, and it’s correct to ask what many of you are asking: Is this real? We’re going to break it down. I’ll tell you what we know, what we don’t know, and what we can say with certitude is true as of this point in time. That is just the start.
At the same time, we are seeing something else happen in real time, which is that this administration is regularly contradicting itself, not only about what the point of the whole Iran war was, that’s been a contradiction since day one, but contradicting itself about what is even taking place right now. So I’ve got examples, and we’re going to look at them.
And then today, Virginia will vote as to whether to redistrict. And Trump is panicking. And Republicans are panicking because they have accurately assessed if this happens, it helps Democrats take the House in November. And if Democrats take the House in November, Trump’s presidency is effectively over. We are going to look at that in detail and so much more.
