Larry Kudlow and guests Steve Forbes and Liz Peek discussing a major military escalation involving joint American and Israeli airstrikes against Iran. The participants frame the conflict as a "righteous undertaking" aimed at achieving regime change, specifically targeting Iranian missile factories and nuclear infrastructure to end decades of state-sponsored terrorism. A central theme of the conversation is the unprecedented regional alignment, as the speakers note with surprise that various Arab nations are siding with the U.S. and Israel against Tehran. Beyond military strategy, the panel critiques past diplomatic efforts like the JCPOA as "pro-appeasement" failures and briefly touches on domestic politics, including the isolation of the Democratic party regarding these hawkish foreign policies and the potential restructuring of media outlets like CNN.
