Trump Ends A War Abroad... To Start A Fake One At Home

For days, President Donald Trump and his administration have been celebrating the bombing campaign against three Iranian nuclear sites, which effectively ended the conflict between Iran and Israel. Trump has repeatedly said the strikes "obliterated" the nuclear sites. But after an initial report about the strikes being less effective than Trump is saying, he's turned his sights on waging a war of words against the press, spearheaded by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Grant talks about the recent developments in the latest fight between the Trump administration and the press corps, what we actually know about the strikes in Iran, and why the most important answer from the Pentagon is the one they aren't giving.
