What's up, everyone, welcome to TYT, I'm your host, Ana Kasparian. And I was really pleased to find that while I was invited on Piers Morgan Show yesterday to discuss that Clancy case in which a woman killed three of her own children. And somehow, there are people in the country who think that she shouldn't face any consequences for it. Today, Piers Morgan luckily had Cenk on to talk about something that I should have been invited to talk about. And that was of course the Iran War and the ongoing nonsense involving Abdul Al Sayed in Michigan over his Senate seat and the disgusting phony attacks that he's now undergoing because of Hassan Piker. Anyway, the other person who was on the panel was Jillian Michaels, who's an expert on nothing other than maybe an exercise routine.
Why is Jillian Michaels getting invited to discuss geopolitics? The woman knows nothing about geopolitics, but I guess all you need to do is have a name and you'll be invited to talk about literally anything, including things you have no expertise on. Anyway, I had to get that rant out. I just had to get it out. You're going to hear a lot of ranting on the show today because of just how absurd our leadership is, how much trouble they're causing to the American people, but also how much trouble they're causing to the globe. In fact, that topic came up during a meeting with our G20 allies. So we'll talk about that later in the show, give you a little bit of an economic update. Also, JD Vance, I think has now totally shown us who he really is, which I'm actually very happy about. I couldn't stomach the phony anti-war facade that people were buying into. The guy, again, is a creation. He was manufactured in a Petri dish by Peter Thiel. Peter Thiel makes money off war, okay? There is no way in hell.
JD Vance's benefactor is going to, I mean, the benefactor of Peter Thiel is going to allow JD Vance to go ahead and move toward a anti-war direction if he were ever elected as president, which God forbid he ever is. Okay, with all that out of the way, with all that ranting out of the way, let's give you an update on the quagmire war against Iran.
**SPEAKER_2** (2:33)
The United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons.
**SPEAKER_3** (2:45)
When somebody comes up and says, why are we doing this? Just say because we cannot let them have a nuclear weapon. It's very simple.
**SPEAKER_2** (2:52)
We know the treacherous history of the regime. It has waged a war against his neighbors.
**SPEAKER_3** (2:58)
As they did something which was very foolish, very stupid, I would say, they attacked their neighbors.
**SPEAKER_2** (3:03)
You either with us or you're against us in the fight against terror.
**SPEAKER_4** (3:07)
And we're telling people either you are with us or against us.

President Donald Trump's transformation into a full blown George W Bush like war criminal is now complete as that montage that CNN put together shows you. And nothing makes that clear than the fact that we are stuck in a quagmire war against Iran, a war that Israel dragged us into. And if you were paying attention yesterday, there were some strikes exchange between the United States and Iran, increasing fears that we are now entering yet another round of kinetic warfare. Now it's been relatively quiet today in the strikes category. But as we know, and what I believe is happening, Trump keeps getting baited into this escalation trap. I don't think that Iran is just kind of sitting around and behaving as haphazardly as our government is or as our military is. What I do know is that the entire globe, including Iran, is fully aware of the fact that the United States has depleted its interceptor missiles. We're even running out of offensive weaponry. And what's better than coding the United States into depleting more of their weaponry, as Iran essentially moves closer in my opinion to pushing the United States out of the region. That's really the main goal. I mean, I think Iran's goals here are very clear, whereas the United States doesn't really seem to have a clear goal. So let's get into the details of where we're at right now, what happened over the last few days and what we can expect for the future. Because the United States did in fact expand some of the strikes that it carried out into southern Iran, and they did end up killing 18 people by doing so. So a US attack hit a wedding in Sirik on Tuesday, killing at least four people, including a child, and injuring nearly 100 people, 51 of whom were hospitalized. And that's according to what you are likely to hear on Iranian media reported by the Iran Health Ministry. Now those killed at the wedding included Mohammed Malahi, a 16 year old.
