23:55Now PlayingHassan Piker is under fire from the right after comments made in the context of discussing ongoing armed conflicts, specifically the Taliban-Pakistan war, where he noted that suicide bombers have effectively been replaced by drone technology. He pointed out that explosive ordinance delivery systems can be mounted on commercially available drones purchased for minimal cost. MAGA media and Republican officials immediately stripped that context and began reporting that Piker was instructing his followers to build weapons and commit acts of terrorism, tagging the FBI and calling for federal investigation. A New York City Council member repeated the same distortion publicly, and Piker has responded with the threat of a defamation lawsuit.
America and Israel's war against Iran reaches day four, and the contradictions from Washington are stacking up fast. Louisiana Senator John Kennedy went on Fox News to declare the war already won while simultaneously acknowledging troops may not be leaving anytime soon. Meanwhile, Senator Chris Murphy emerged from a Senate briefing reporting that Trump administration officials told lawmakers the conflict is open-ended, more Americans will die, and boots on the ground inside Iran are on the table.
Hawk covers the Axios report revealing that Benjamin Netanyahu personally called Donald Trump with intelligence that Ayatollah Khamenei and his inner circle would all be gathered in one location in Tehran. That phone call, that single tip from Israel, is what launched this war. Six American soldiers are now dead. Marco Rubio has since acknowledged this is fundamentally Israel's war.
The CIA is now arming Iranian Kurds to foment a popular uprising against the IRGC, which fields over 120,000 heavily armed and trained fighters. Iran has already selected a new Supreme Leader, the 56-year-old son of the Ayatollah, a lifelong hardliner with deep ties to the Revolutionary Guard. The shifting justifications for this war, from nuclear weapons to missiles to regime change, point to a conflict with no clear objectives and no exit strategy, launched at the request of Netanyahu and sold to the American public on a foundation of lies.
