Summary
There are two different fronts in the ongoing Iran conflict: The air war in the Middle East, and the airwaves war to convince the public back home. Andrew and Blake discuss the big success on the first front and how it contrasts with the work that still needs to be done on the second. North Carolina journalist and ex-nuclear engineer Matt Van Swol talks about crime, corruption, and Iran's potential to get a nuclear weapon. Plus, the show tracks the crumbling fortunes of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, whose replacement by President Trump is announced live during the show.
