0:00.0	Hello, and welcome to the Politics Girl podcast. I'm your host Lee McGowan. Let's get into it.
0:05.2	Well, I had an amazing conversation with Deborah Archer, the president of the ACLU this week,
0:10.0	to discuss the fantastic work they're doing to protect our rights against illiberal actions of this
0:14.1	administration. But as you know, over the weekend, Donald Trump attacked Iran, dropping three
0:19.1	giant bombs on their nuclear facilities, which means
0:21.9	you're going to have to wait to hear from Deborah because today we're going to have to focus
0:24.9	on this horrifying and unprovoked attack that has put everyone in danger.
0:29.3	Moving forward with this crisis, please understand that there is going to be a vast amount
0:33.2	of deliberate propaganda and misinformation thrown at you. So it will be essential that you double
0:38.0	check your sources. I do not believe our federal government can be trusted to give us the right
0:42.4	information. I believe they will give us the story that they want us to know. And moving forward,

1:00.4	podcasts are made. There is no other way to keep this kind of work going outside of a subscription
1:04.9	model with sponsor support. I understand it might seem distasteful when we take a break from
1:09.2	such a serious topic to discuss a product or a service, but please know the companies who have chosen to support this show are making a conscious effort to support truth in the time of lies.
1:19.0	And I deeply appreciate them for doing that.
1:21.8	If you really hate ads, you can always sign up for Politics Girl Premium and get every show ad-free along with my rant sent directly to
1:28.1	your inbox. But if that's not for you, then just understand why the sponsors are an essential part of
1:32.7	this show and allow me some leeway when I break from the conversation. Okay, so now that that's
1:37.9	out of the way, let's move forward. Here is what we know as of Monday, June 23rd. On June 21st, Trump preemptively struck Iran with three
