Summary
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson warns about how U.S. troops would be "swallowed in Iran," where they will be "wounded captured or dead.” He also talks about how Israel "is getting pummeled and decimated" and how this war will actually help China and Russia. He and Katie are joined by Mikey Weinstein an attorney, former Air Force officer and founder and president of The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF). He talks about the bombshell story about higher ups in the military framing the war as a holy one with the aim of armageddon.
Then Katie talks to Jamal Abdi, president of the National Iranian American Council (NIAC) and Palestinian American journalist Rami Khouri about the latest in Iran.
