0:00.0	Hi, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in New York. It's day 12 of the war with Iran. Here's where things stand.
0:11.9	Quote, the president is scared. That is how one Democrat, former Congressman Max Rose, describes Donald Trump right now as he tries to spin a spiraling war that has led to the deaths of
0:22.3	eight U.S. service members and more than 1,200 people across the Middle East, including more
