Good show but a VERY sad perspective on the lawful orders our men will have to execute from our Clown-in-chief and his enablers that are playing this like a video game they can’t lose. As Ken said about putting yourself in your enemy's shoes, "Why can't Americans put themselves in innocent Iranian shoes as they watch the destruction of their country and some family members killed in the thousands -- it's like 9/11 x 1000? Who do you think they will side with then? History says, these are Terrorists in waiting with hundreds of drones we are not really prepared to defend sneaking in to our ports? As Ukrainians did with Russia? Scary for us all.

This was superb, thank you so much gentlemen. I do not use that word lightly. Excellent summary (for the hour) and takes. I have no doubt I am speaking for many when I express my gratitude your morality, for your intellect and your demand for toughness in accountability.

I wish this conversation had been broadcast on the so-called MSM so folks glued to CNN, CBS or Faux could truly learn from experts what is going on. Hair-raising info about the body language observed from Duckworth, Warren and Murphy. You need to add the unspeakable ingredient of calling this a religious war ordaining trump as anointed by Jesus to bring on Armageddon. Hegseth, Huckabee and Graham are adding this self-destructive explosive to this war. We will be in danger for the rest of our lives from a "battle plan" and "foreign policy" straight out of the "pure mental illness," malignant narcissism, and frontotemporal dementia of this low IQ conman. I heard he misunderstood the generals' briefings about the risks of this bombing campaign. I could not have constructed a better way for us to lose our nation than what trump's id has spewed forth and endorsed. And recall what happens when a malignant narcissist is backed against the wall===HE TAKES EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING DOWN WITH HIM.

Thank you guys. I sure do feel for our military, for the Iranian people and for the families. Is there not one qualified person at the helm? Our administration is getting people killed, both inside our borders and out.

Excellent show. Hoping to see someone call out the Johnson/Hegseth white Christian Nationalists as being as much a religious fanatical group as the mullahs.

Incompetent is the least important, how about criminality, immorality, immodestly, proud ignorance, fascism, dictatorship ????

Stephen, this is undoubtably the best journalistic review of what’s going on with this fouled war.

I regularly follow the BBC, the New York Times, the Guardian, Sky News and MSNow, and none of them come close to this analysis.

Huge kudos and of course hopefully you all will be in leadership roles as part of the cleanup that must occur very soon!

If we are indeed the β€œCity on the Hill”, there is no future for the planet, certainly us, unless truly correct guidance/right action is taken which we humans need in order to get out from the darkness that is of our own making!

Agreed many more people need to hear this. Unimpeachable information sources like nothing I’ve come across previously.

I’m sickened by the GOP (and the 2 democrats) Congress for their failure to rein in Trump on Iran by not voting for the war powers act. Now Iranians have dirty waters and the United States is guilty of war crimes. Thank you all for this in-depth discussion! As an average citizen, I am learning so much from you. Keep it coming!!

As a veteran anti-war activist who cut his protesting chops during the American War Against Vietnam Peasants, I would like to propose two chants or mantras channeling the determined oppositional spirit of that era and beyond:

"HEY, HEY, DONNIE J., HOW MANY LIVES DID YOU KILL TODAY?"

and

"NO BLOOD FOR OIL -- OR WAR AS EPSTEIN FOIL!"

Excellent interview guys. Appreciate all of your perspectives. This means nothing but I fucking hate this president and administration. I long for the day that the biggest complaint was a tan suit. Fuck that man to hell where he must burn the evil to absolute completion.

A super discussion by the perfect trio! Thanks so much, and please repeat when necessary on SAM cuz we need it!

This war was "fascioned" (sic) ahead of time by a cabal. The word 'fascist' comes from the Italian 'fasci', a bundle of rods. Making war on Iran has hardened Trump's rod for four decades. He's having his happy moment now.

After hearing your discussion, it sounds like we haven't started a camp fire but a blazzing forest fire.

how about regardless of the electoral collegeβ€”No president can be seated if they didn’t get 60% of the popular vote.

They also need to be qualified for the highest level of clearance.

Thank you for this excellent discussion, gentlemen! As others have stated, we don't get this level of information anywhere in the mainstream- not on CNN, MS NOW, the Guardian, the AP, PBS; I can go on. These times are too perilous to not hear the truth.

I urge you. through SAM, to place some of your powerful and beautifully crafted commercials on legacy media - including FOX. If you can capture even a handful of people it would be worth.

I truly hope that each of you will be in leadership roles when we finally have a chance to rebuild and repair this country and our values. Thank you all again for this enlightening discussion.

One parting question from anyone that might know- I understand that, after sinking the Iranian ship in the Indian Ocean, we did not rescue the survivors. Isn't this against the Geneva Convention and a war crime?
