This week on No News Is News, hosts Alex R. Wagner and Kelly Cline dive deep into the explosive conflict between the United States and Iran. Following major US airstrikes on three of Iran's key nuclear facilities, the world is on edge, and the political fallout is just beginning.Join Alex and Kelly as they break down the most intense media moments, including Marco Rubio's heated "Brett Kavanaugh energy" interview, a fiery debate between Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson over AIPAC and the biblical justifications for war, and the varied reactions from politicians like Andrew Cuomo, Adam Kinzinger, and JD Vance.From sarcastically joining "Team Iran" to dissecting the "America, F*ck Yeah!" nature of the attacks, they cut through the noise of both mainstream and independent media. They also explore the deeper, often undiscussed historical and theological roots of the conflict, from the 1979 revolution to the biblical story of Jacob and whether the modern state of Israel truly represents the "Promised Land."Plus, they investigate a fan's tip about Benjamin Netanyahu's all-American education and fall down a rabbit hole of 9/11 conspiracy theories, questioning who really holds the power in the "unshakable alliance."If you're tired of the spin and want a raw, unfiltered, and often hilarious take on the news that matters, this is the episode for you.Chapters:00:00 - Intro: Iran's "Weaponization Ambitions"00:34 - Why Does Iran Need a Space Program?02:07 - "America, F*ck Yeah!": Reacting to the Airstrikes03:34 - Marco Rubio's "Brett Kavanaugh Energy"05:07 - Why We're Now "Team Iran" (Satire)07:07 - The Rise of Independent Journalism ("Mo News")09:26 - Media Spin & Political Fearmongering11:27 - The 1979 Iranian Revolution & The Rise of Theocracy14:42 - Is Anyone Telling the Truth?17:08 - What About Gaza?19:23 - Ted Cruz vs. Tucker Carlson: The AIPAC Debate28:06 - Ted Cruz's Biblical Justification for Supporting Israel30:41 - The Biblical Story of Jacob (Israel)33:24 - Are DNA Tests Banned in Israel?
