Good evening. Thanks for joining us. Two big stories dominate the hour of the war and the firing of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, whose department mission is, among many other things, protecting Americans from Iranian reprisals at home. We begin with the war, and new signals that strikes on Iran like this one will intensify.
