Summary

The price of oil is surging today after missiles pounded Iranian refineries, causing the stuff to rain from the sky. Iran says it will respond by attacking oil facilities across the Gulf, which will cause economic chaos. That’s why Senator Lindsay Graham debuted a new justification this weekend: Change the regime, control the oil. Meanwhile, Mojtaba Khamenei is the new Ayatollah; replacing his assassinated father. Far from being a US or an Israeli pick, he’s a radical hardliner with the singular mission of saving the Iranian regime and he enters the war in the mood for vengeance; with much of his family obliterated. It’s hard to see how this doesn’t spell chaos for President Trump, for the United States, and for the rest of the world. Joining Piers Morgan to discuss this is CNN’s chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour, Article 3 Project senior counsel Will Chamberlain, American presenter Owen Shroyer, former Trump spokeswoman and deputy communications director Caroline Sunshine and former MP and host of The Rest is Politics, Rory Stewart.

0:30.5	If you want to say 90% MAGA supports this, then you have to account for at least 40% of the people that were once MAGA are not MAGA anymore.
0:38.0	Otherwise it makes no sense. President Obama once said that he could see his poll numbers rise and fall with

1:16.6	The idea that the Pentagon is about to come to you for $50 billion on these strikes to Iran,
1:23.6	how are you going to answer?
1:26.6	Best money ever spent. Was it worth to America to take down
1:30.8	a religious Nazi regime who's trying to build a nuclear weapon to deliver to America? That's a
