YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Retired Lieutenant General Mark Hertling joins Jim Acosta for a wide-open conversation about what's really happening in the Iran war — and what the Trump administration refuses to say out loud.

Hertling also raises the alarm about Russia allegedly providing Iran with intelligence to target American warships and assets in the region. Plus: the FBI and DHS weakened at exactly the moment the US faces its highest domestic terror risk in years.

Plus, Ruth Ben Ghiat joins to discuss Trump's incessant fraud claims, despite never offering or finding any evidence of election fraud.
