Four days into Operation Epic Fury, and the takes are already outpacing the facts. We brought in our foreign policy nerd Amanda Peterson to sit down with Rachel and Meseidy and actually work through what's happening—the US-Israel coordination, the nuclear calculus, what "regime change" realistically means, and whether the administration's messaging is doing them any favors. This is the conversation the podcaster circuit doesn't want to have, because it requires more than 24 hours of thought.Subscribe nowEpisode HighlightsThe wrong question everyone keeps asking about Iran’s nuclear program—and what you should actually be askingWhy the US-Israel military coordination in this operation is unlike anything we’ve seen since World War IIGulf States and even the Palestinian Authority have condemned Iran’s actions—here’s why that mattersMegyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson are saying the exact same thing.
