of April. So let us know if you're going to come see us, Nikki Safari. OK, so let's talk about what's going on in the world, because there's a lot of blame to go around about the war and a lot of opinions, not many facts coming from the administration. Caroline Levitt, sorry to do that to you, who's the White House press secretary, meaning sorry to do that to you, who the folks who are watching was sent out to clean up Donald Trump's messaging about the war with Iran earlier, particularly the president's repeated claim that the United States was not responsible
was not responsible for a strike on an iranian school uh-oh we're having some internet issues as we talked about earlier stand by elimination we'll get down back for you
All right, so I'm back. Did you lose me? We did. Producers, can you hear me? We can hear you. You lost me for a little bit. Yeah, it's crazy. I told you guys. So I'm talking about the one Donovan Atomic Hawk missile that killed hundreds of children. I think it was like 185 at this point. And that could go higher. And no one has a Tomahawk missile. Israel doesn't have one. Iran doesn't have one. I'm not sure of anyone in the region and why would they do that. And they're blaming Iran. So that claim has become so controversial that even Fox News host Laura Ingraham has been pleading with the administration to get out in front of the story despite that major pushback from people within his own party. Now here is how Levitt defended the president.
Levitt.
Why did President Trump say yesterday that Iran may have Tomahawk missiles when there are only three other U.S. allies plus the U.S. that have those missiles and therefore could?
Look, again, as the President said yesterday, he will accept the conclusion of this investigation by the Department of War.
