Summary

During his first term President Donald Trump adopted a vacillating stance toward Iran—initially issuing threats and then suggesting diplomatic negotiations.

In this video guest host Misty Winston and Jimmy talk to antiwar.com’s Scott Horton about the White House’s decision to keep “all options on the table,” calling it irresponsible brinkmanship tantamount to terrorism against a non-threatening nation. The hosts underscore that preemptive war violates international norms and point out that even past U.S. presidents with far greater threats refrained from such actions.

Plus segments on Donald Trump belittling Iran's weak missile attack on a U.S. airbase in Qatar and Trump using the same warmongering rhetoric as his predecessor George W. Bush.

Also featuring Misty Winston, Stef Zamorano, Mike MacRae and Kurt Metzger. Plus a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!
