As you can see, there is a lot of stuff on the back.

Stop! Let's go to the Recuting Spirale.

With step-down all-jobs, you will see everything for a year.

Amazone leads to all-jobs in the logistics center. Extra-familian Boni. So, we're going to start with a new one in the evening. You're lucky for me the most beautiful city in the world. That means you're the most beautiful city of all-jobs.

This is the Daily Blast from the New Republic, produced and presented by the DSR network. I'm your host, Greg Sargent. Over the weekend, Donald Trump exploded in several tirades over media coverage of his Iran War. He accused news organizations of deliberately producing false stories about the war

and even said they want us to lose to Iran. And then, in an angry rant to reporters, he rebuked other countries for refusing to help open the straight-up or moves and things got truly weird. All this comes as a new expozy about Trump's handling of the war reveals shocking new details about his incompetence and derangement,

showing that we really need the free press right now more than ever. Which raises a question, is Trump about to use the war to launch a domestic information crackdown? We're talking about all this with Molly McQ, an international relations expert in author of a good new piece on the deeper

stakes of this moment. Molly, nice to have you on. Thanks for having me, I appreciate it. So, the big story right now is that Trump is trying to determine how to get the straight-up or moves reopened with many of our allies

with buffing his demands for help and Trump trying to decide whether to go all in for an extended commitment.

Molly, can you bring us up to date real quick on where the stands and why it all matters?

You know, I think we're on what day 17 now of the strikes against Iran. No one is sure what the strategic objective is. In any war game, tabletop exercise of should we strike Iran or not?

The question has always been, can we keep the straight-up form as open or not?

Because the impact on shipping on global transit of goods, particularly energy and oil supplies, if the straight is closed, is catastrophic as we've seen in previous interventions. In the 70s and otherwise, the impact on the economy on energy prices on prices we will pay for everything on how markets fluctuate will be extremely

significant if there is not a solution to what Iran is doing right now. Well, Trump erupted in a wild fury at the media on Sunday night. Clearly this stuff is getting to him. One of his truth social posts said this, quote, "The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal and other low-life papers

and media actually want us to lose the war. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts. They are truly sick and demanded people that have no idea the damage they caused the United States."

In a second one, Trump accuses news organizations of deliberately

suppressing the U.S. as successes against Iran and hails federal communications commission chair Brendan Carr for threatening action against media organizations who's reporting on the war just pleases Trump. Ali, there's little chance the press curtails itself, but Carl's threat is a serious matter. What's your take on it?

I think in general the president's tone and his supposition that media is not

telling his story, not telling the story, not telling the truth is

extremely problematic and the use of government resources to now pursue these claims as if they are reality is something that should concern us all. The same way they've pushed the line on defining what is a domestic terrorist or not the pursuit of people not telling the truth using sanctions from the U.S. government could be extremely significant.

We've already seen people self-editing and sort of suppressing their views in universities in the media and other places for fear of the kind of things Trump flashes out at and I don't think this will be helpful.

Americans deserve to know what is happening in Iran, what our objectives are

in Iran, that more than 200 Americans have been injured and the pursuit of

whatever our goals are in Iran, that more Americans are deploying to the region in Iran and why and what that's for and what it will look like. And they deserve to know that this war is not a standalone thing but connected to the bigger war being fought. The idea that the lies being told to the American public,

quote unquote, prevent them from seeing the truth. We've gotten so used to as an American public, the sort of bomb

vest from the president and I think one by one so many institutions

have cave to the strategy that we're really in a dangerous place. The New York Times had an extraordinary expasian Trump's handling of the war against Iran. One big revelation is that a quote unquote frustrated Trump asked Joint Chiefs chair Dan Cain, why the US can't immediately reopen the

straight of our moves and he was told gently that super tankers would be very vulnerable to even one missile in an attack. Trump's also urging companies to quote unquote show some guts and brave and Trump is trying really hard to get other countries to help reopen the straight after not consulting them before the invasion.

And even saying recently that we've already won the war, these leaks are absolutely devastating. They're damning as hell. Molly, you'd think Trump would have known before all the started that number one, it would be hard to reopen the straight and number two,

alienating allies would make them less likely to help him now. How is it possible that the commander and chief is this disconnected from obvious realities?

I definitely think part of the problem is he decided he has already decided

whatever he thinks his reality is reality and that's a challenge for anyone in charge of anything.

I think that we know for sure that the people around him don't

give him the information. They give him the three bullet points written in crayon or whatever that he wants to see and we know that the intelligence that's being presented to him has been extra edited in the context of the administration.

It's been presented in a range of the other stories we know from the past to suit his views to suit his needs. Obviously they're not talking about what Russia is doing. He doesn't believe the story about how they're helping her on with intelligence, et cetera, et cetera.

Everything he's presented with is whatever is meant to give up his view of the moment and no one can make valid decisions living in the soup of lies. It certainly seems that I mean it's really a disaster. Let's check out what Trump said to reporters now.

He was asked if he will be able to persuade other countries to help reopen the straight. You responded angrily. Listen. I don't do a hard sell on them because my attitude is

we don't need anybody. We're the strongest nation in the world. We have the strongest military by far in the world. We don't need them. But it's interesting.

I'm almost doing it in some cases, not because we need them, but because I want to find out how they react. Because I've been saying for years that if we ever did need them, they won't be there. Two things here.

First, he can't decide whether he needs the help of other countries or not. And second, he can't seem to fathom that he roamed our allies with the first. So he's taking their refusal to join in the subcertain

pointless war as a snub against us on him. And then excuse to further weaken the NATO alliance, which he's been weakening. What do you make of all that?

And he even sort of says it in that block of text, right?

It's, well, I'm just trying to prove the point.

I've always made that absolutely no one is going to show up

and help us. But I think that's the point. He has campaigned on it three times now. And it does resonate with a number of Americans who do believe that the American defense budget and other support

outweighs those of our allies. I think that is a misrepresentation of history and the purpose of the alliance and the ways that our allies have responded to our calls for help over the past 30 years. But that aside, I think this notion that no one's going to

come and it will prove that they were never going to come and we don't need anybody anyway. So is absolutely ridiculous and juvenile, but also so dangerous and fraught. Everything that we have learned from Russia's war in Ukraine,

from what we should have learned from that on what the future of war fair is on what the current state of war fair is on how we will need to prepare to fight wars and fight wars. Is that we need allies that we need supply lines that we need integrated systems of sort of interoperability and control.

Anybody who walks away from what we should be learning but

clearly aren't with we're just going to go at alone is absolutely

missing the point and Trump even knows this because not just

from the current phase of conflict, whatever we want to call it in Iran where we and our allies are shooting incredibly expensive missiles and interceptors at crap Iranian drones and much cheaper Iranian missiles to try to defend our people and facilities from attacks by them.

We had this previous year of the same kinds of asymmetric basically warfare in the Red Sea where the Houthis are shooting, you know, barrels of fireworks at us and we're using

a $4 million missile to stop it from blowing up a NATO ship.

I mean we know this is a challenge for how our defense systems work, how our defense industries have gotten crazier and crazier in terms of the lack of product and the expense attached to all of it. And the fact that since 2022 in particular we have not

overcome this production gap in our own defensive supplies let alone figured out a way to produce enough for the power that Ukraine should win against Russia. I'm having a hard time with how none of those lessons learned which are pretty obvious even for those of us who just live on

social media sometimes are not being reflected in the US governments planning for fighting a major much larger conflict against the nation of Iran.
