Now to the American media, where the war in Iran has exposed the radicals and activists running some of the biggest companies in the world.

First we have CNN's Abby Phillips, who followed a line that many news outfits fell for by asserting that the attack on Iran was illegal.

Reflexive pronouns

Now countries have a right to defend themselves.

And this country, Iran, has orchestrated multiple attacks on Australian soil.

The most evil acts imaginable and have been trying to build nuclear capability.

And we know that because there is no functional reason to have uranium enriched up to 60% purity other than using it for a weapon.

And of course, the threat of the ballistic missile program was real, even though these insane lefties refused to see the evidence before their own eyes.

Look, the bottom line is they don't want them to have ballistic missiles.

They don't want them to have a nuclear program.

They don't like that their navy makes trouble for everybody.

Gulf and that is the stated rationale you could throw on other things.

For the last 47 years, they have killed American troops, they've maimed American personnel, they've exported and funded terror around the world and around the region.

And you seem to be suggesting we have no allies in this.

I watched the President with the Chancellor of Germany today.

But we have plenty of allies in the region and around the world who know we have done the right thing.

Just to be clear, I just want to just reiterate.

But Rena's question is actually ballistic missiles, Abby.

What proof is there that there were ballistic missiles, that they actually had ballistic missiles that could reach the United States, reach U.S.

Joining me to discuss is founder of Wrong Speak Publishing, Adam B. Coleman.

This insistence by some in the media that this war is illegal, I cannot believe that has gained so much traction.

But I think CNN having Scott Jennings there almost to do these, these real time fact checks is rather humiliating for the host.

You know, I sort of understand when the average American who is hesitant about this war or even is this exactly a war that is actually happening because even the conversation as far as what determines a war and the fight over war powers and what is the president allowed to do and what they're not allowed to do.

Sometimes it feels like a semantic game, but I understand somewhat where it comes from.

Maybe not the disingenuous crowd of cnn, but

the American public is a bit split on this because of what has happened, at least in my lifetime, with Afghanistan and Iraq.

We were promised that this is only going to take 10 days or it's going to be a little bit longer.

And then 20 years later, Joe Biden is messing up our withdrawal.

So I can understand where a lot of Americans are kind of clinging onto that idea.

Well, let's go to Rachel Maddow because we've got a grab to play where she's got a theory for why Trump has actually attacked Iran in the first place.

It's always useful to start that question in any country.

And for their own reasons, who are Iran's rivals and enemies?

Perennially, it's the Gulf Arab states, countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

You know Qatar, the country that just gave Donald Trump a really, really nice $400 million plane.

Really a gilded flying palace for his own use, both during the presidency.

Trump plans to take that plane with him and keep using it after he leaves office, if he ever leaves office.

Now, Adam, I can't believe that they actually put that to air.

Essentially, what she is asserting is that Donald Trump attacked Qatar's enemy because they bribed him with a jet and he's going to get to use the jet.

There's a little quip there about if he even leaves office, but

this network is so unhinged and unstable to be publishing that to.

Do you think that it was an act of bribery that got Donald Trump to do this?

How do you bribe a guy who's been extremely wealthy for his entire life?

He flies private planes and stuff like that.

The idea that he would risk the safety of American soldiers over a plane is ridiculous.

But I honestly don't expect anything better.

Rachel Maddow, you know, years ago, they talked about QAnon and Trump supporters.

This is the same type of insane theories that they come up with.

She was part of the whole Russia hoax and even went as far as talking about our power grid and watching out.

And her theories, once again, their theories are not based in reality.

Strange text messages I get about how the power grid is going to go down in three days and it never happens.

I've got a bit of sympathy for some of these networks and people who do think it's all a big conspiracy theory because you've got these mainstream platforms which are pushing this views and there's a certain percentage of society that I just think blindly adopts them.

You might be at the pub and then somebody will say, oh, well, didn't Trump only do this because of the.

And there are some narratives that permeate that.

And the left, they never fact check themselves.

It's always when conservative media gets it wrong, they talk about disinformation and misinformation.

Any logical analysis of that, it quickly falls apart.

But the great thing is that at cnn, we've got to talk about the reaction to the actual people in Iran.

I'm nervous about where this all ends, obviously.

I'm nervous about how it's going to take.

Could it escalate into something that's much worse?

I think it's unlikely because it was pretty bad there.
