Description

Sam Stein is joined by Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) to discuss the escalating situation in Iran, warning that after 42 days and tens of billions of dollars, the U.S. is no better off and still lacks a clear strategy. Coons raises concerns about congressional authorization, potential backdoor war funding, and the risks of deeper escalation. The conversation also turns to domestic politics, including Pam Bondi and concerns about a more aggressive and loyal next attorney general under Trump. Finally, they discuss Melania Trump’s unusual press conference calling for more Epstein hearings.

The US Service members who died did *not* die defending their country. There was no threat to the US. They died because Donny-John Trump was talked into a Vanity war by Bibi and MBS. The dead servicemen aren't heroes, just collateral damage.

We should point out that we've killed 5,000 Iranians (mostly civilians) as well.
