Summary

Tonight, we break down Donald Trump’s latest press conference on the Iran war and try to separate reality from rhetoric. With new threats of massive strikes on Iranian infrastructure and shifting claims about the state of the conflict, the messaging is as confusing as ever. Don takes a closer look at what was actually said, what it means, and why the stakes keep getting higher, not just abroad, but here at home as the economic and global fallout grows. So where is this all heading? And how much further can this escalate before it’s too late? Tonight, we are joined by Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari to break down all the chaos.
