  • Israeli Attack on Iran

    I appreciate your review of Israeli’s war on Iran. But I prefer that you tell the whole story. Israel is waging war on Iran with our, US, bombs and missiles that we delivered to Israel.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

WH Says U.S. Admiral Ordered Second Boat Strike
Q: What do you make of how they are pointing to that?
I want to find out what happened and hold accountable those who gave the orders.
WH Says U.S. Admiral Ordered Second Boat Strike
Q: When you heard the White House confirm that there was indeed a second strike on this boat after the first strike, what was your thought on that?
You can't believe anything this current Pentagon really says - who actually gave the order to carry it out is critical.
WH Says U.S. Admiral Ordered Second Boat Strike
Q: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration deny that Secretary Hegseth gave the order?
The latter is true, indicating that the strike did happen and Secretary Hegseth states he did not order the death of those two men.
Leavitt: Sen. Kelly Trying To Sow Chaos Inside Military
Q: What is your perspective on the military's role in these investigations and orders?
Military officials have a duty to refuse illegal orders, and the administration should clarify legal grounds and come to Congress for authorization.
Leavitt: Sen. Kelly Trying To Sow Chaos Inside Military
Q: What do you make of the outsized reaction from the White House?
The reaction is strong because it implies that there may be legal violations with orders given by the president.
