Iran isn't about Iran. Canada isn't about Canada. China isn't about tariffs. Every fight this week traced back to the same return address β and Trump has found it. Plus Zoomers, Bretton Woods, and Beethoven.
A full-size statue of Beethoven once stood behind the Boston Symphony. Toni Sellars and Mindy Pechenuk on how deep this music ran in 19th-century America β and who spent the next century getting it out.
Last night, President Trump addressed the nation from the White House β one month to the day since Operation Epic Fury began:
"Tonight, Iran's navy is GONE. Their air force is in ruins. Their ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed and their weapons, factories, and rocket launchers are being blown to pieces."
He declared that America's core strategic objectives are "nearing completion" β and promised to hit Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. No NATO involvement. No UN authorization. No apologies.
"We are on track to complete all of America's military objectives shortly, very shortly."
Barbara and Susan will break down what this means β and what comes next β live today.
April 2nd LIVE REPLAY
The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed since early March β not because Iran has the power to keep it shut permanently, but because the United States has decided it's not going to spend the blood and treasure to reopen it for nations that refused to stand with us.
This is exactly the strategic architecture Barbara and Susan have been laying out for you week after week. This Thursday, they'll break down what just happened β and what comes next.
China holds 220 million American voter files β and your government hid it. Trump declassified it all last night, hours after Barbara called it on the show. The blockade, the coverup, the SAVE Act β and your questions, answered live.
Overnight: strikes into northern Iran and a tanker disabled trying to run the blockade. Tonight at 9pm: Trump's "really big news" on 2020. Barbara and Susan connect it all β with your questions.
A funeral pause answered with burning tankers β and a summit where Europe learned who runs the alliance now. Barbara and Susan on the empire's enforcement arm, the Golden Dome, and the midterm machine. Your questions, answered live.
REPLAY now available, join us live next Thursday live. Two nights of U.S. strikes on Iran, a NATO summit Trump and Erdogan owned, and Europe's secret panic over America.
