Episode description
Brian is joined by former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and AEI’s Marc Thiessen to discuss the critical turning point in the conflict with Iran. Following reports of a downed U.S. aircraft and the ongoing blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the panel debates the military "Red Zone" and why U.S. allies in Europe are refusing to cooperate. PLUS: Brian and Carley Shimkus expose the disingenuous media edit of the "Moon Kid" viral video and discuss the future of the Artemis moon mission.
