’Trump was warned’: Reports contradict Trump’s claims of surprise by challenges in Iran

Despite Donald Trump expressing shock and surprise at how Iran has responded to being attacked by the United States and Israel, Jen Psaki shares reporting that Trump was warned about everything from attacks on regional U.S. allies to the closing of the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump's struggle with these challenges is due to a lack of preparation, not a lack of prediction.  

Former CIA director John Brennan and former Pentagon press secretary John Kirby talk with Jen about the realities Donald Trump has to deal with in Iran.

Jen Psaki looks at the bizarre conservative political circus that is CPAC and shares video of an awkward moment in which an intended rallying cry for Republican midterm candidates exposes a growing rift in Donald Trump's base of support.

Jane Fonda, actor, activist and founder of the modern Committee for the First Amendment, who is scheduled to attend the flagship protest in St. Paul on No Kings Day, talks with Jen Psaki about what's at stake in standing up to the Trump administration and the importance of "neighboring" to keep communities resilient.
