Iran declared war on America 47 years ago. On Saturday, President Trump finally answered. J. Michael Waller — Senior Analyst for Strategy at the Center for Security Policy — joins Jenny Beth Martin to break down Operation Epic Fury: the U.S. strikes on Iran, the 47-year history of Iranian aggression most politicians want to ignore, and why this is the most America First action of our lifetimes. They cover the real end goal of the operation, what happens to the Iranian resistance now, why USAID's dismantling prevents a forever war, the constitutional case for Trump's authority, and what every American should do right now to support our troops. Plus: why the biggest misunderstanding about this conflict is that we're "doing Israel's bidding" — and why that's flat wrong.
