In the conversation about the US bombing Iran, there has been a lot of talk about the mission, the policy behind it, and how well it worked.

But one of the main driving reasons Trump chose to approve the mission hasn't been talked about: the religious extremism inside his administration.

Grant talks with Matt D. Taylor, the senior Christian scholar and the Institute of Islamic, Christian, and Jewish Studies about the influence of Christian Zionism, Christian Dominion, and Christian nationalism on Trump and it's getting more extreme.

For days, President Donald Trump and his administration have been celebrating the bombing campaign against three Iranian nuclear sites, which effectively ended the conflict between Iran and Israel. Trump has repeatedly said the strikes "obliterated" the nuclear sites. But after an initial report about the strikes being less effective than Trump is saying, he's turned his sights on waging a war of words against the press, spearheaded by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

Grant talks about the recent developments in the latest fight between the Trump administration and the press corps, what we actually know about the strikes in Iran, and why the most important answer from the Pentagon is the one they aren't giving.
