How did recent U.S. strikes in Iran shape the opening news discussion?

Wendy Patrick 0:00

Over the past week, let's just say, more than 170 military targets in Iran have been hit, I guess really over the matter of just two days. When you see the target list from these U.S. strikes this week, what does that indicate to you about the intent, the message that the United States is trying to send?

Hey, Kate, always good to be back with you. And that gets right to the point, right? The volatility in the markets you just discussed are tied to this conflict in the Middle East. And these strikes that the U.S. did over the past two days, they said very directly. And CENTCOM also said, CENTCOM commanded the same thing, that these strikes were struck in a direct response to Iran attacking oil tankers that were moving through the Straits of Hormuz. And the second thing that's been made real clear by the target list you just described, you know, these are air defense sites, coastal surveillance sites. storage areas for missiles and drones, small boats that are used to harass ships in the straits. These targets were made to specifically go after Iran's capability to hold that straits of Hormuz hostage.

What's interesting is what was an attack. They didn't go after leadership. As you know, Khomeini's funeral has been this week. They haven't gone after leadership. They haven't gone after government. you know more wider infrastructure in iran so the u.s was basically saying no you don't control the straits iran these straits are still open sure uh and they're not going to go through the route uh that that you want them to go through there to continue to go through the route that's close to omani's waters that was just described

titled, MAGA's Birthright Meltdown is in Full Effect. You wrote about why the MAGA base is so upset about the Supreme Court ruling to uphold birthright citizenship. Parts of the right still posture as patriots, but they have imagined a different kind of patriotism, one that loves the country but scorns its creed. They, like Musk on July 4th, reject the classical liberal founding or at least deemphasize its importance compared with the ancestral lineage of its citizens. And if America isn't rooted in its creed and if certain classes of citizens have a superior claim to their American identity than other citizens, then it is a short trip to believing that the American government exists to serve only the favored class, the real Americans who make up, say, the MAGA base.

Adam Wren 2:41

In this formulation, true patriotism isn't the preservation of the creed. It's the preservation of the people. And once you see this distinction, MAGA's entire governing philosophy makes infinitely

more so it it it also goes david against 250 years of american history goes against the fact that we we are a nation of immigrants that our founders desperately were trying to figure out how to get more immigrants and a lot of the people that that that that were in the first uh congress were immigrants and and so you you you have and especially these latest greeds, which have just been so disingenuous, so dishonest, either that or they're just extraordinarily ignorant and stupid about American history, you had people melting down over a constitutional amendment that became part of the Constitution in 1868. And over 100 years of firmly established precedent, and then... You take all of that ignorance, all of the brushing aside of everything that Ronald Reagan ever stood for, all of the brushing aside of what conservatives ever stood for and the cherry on top.

was when they needed a striker to beat Belgium. Donald Trump and the whole Magarite got involved and lectured us about not being against helping this striker who was only on the team because his mother from Britain couldn't fly home because she was too pregnant. He grew up in London and yet he was an American because? Birthright citizenship. So they're for birthright citizenship when it serves their purposes. They're for immigration when it serves their purposes.

Wendy Patrick 4:43

They're against immigration when it does not.

ever since this regime came to power, and it is their intention to build a nuclear weapon and use it on us and use it on Israel and use it on the West.
