Summary

Megyn Kelly is joined by Robert Pape, professor of political science at the University of Chicago, to discuss the reports about "boots on the ground" in Iran, what happens if the Trump administration deploys even more troops to the region, the Iran war "Escalation Trap" theory, the truth about this new mission being discussed of using American troops to extract Iran's uranium, the extreme danger of such a move, Trump's "gambler's curse" Iran policy, why Israel may be in more danger now that the war with Iran has started, whether Israel would consider using a nuke, and more. Then Stu Burguiere, host of "Predictable with Stu," joins to discuss Lindsey Graham spotted at Disney World with a bubble wand as Congress is on vacation, why this looks so terrible while troops are being deployed near Iran, the truth about the latest polls that show red flags for the GOP and the Trump administration, why the issues are bigger than Iran, the absurd “No Kings” protests over the weekend, Jimmy Kimmel and aging Bruce Springsteen in a starring role, the odd leftist freaks who were there, Tiger Woods’ latest DUI arrest, the dangers that can come with an extreme focus on sports at a young age, Woods' inability to deal with challenges after his massive success, and more.
