Hegseth Said Iran Was Defeated - The CIA Disagrees - Adam Kinzinger



The Pentagon has been telling Americans the Iran war is essentially won. This week a confidential CIA analysis said otherwise. Iran has survived the naval blockade, retains 70% of its prewar missile stockpiles, and can last three to four months more. This is a war that isn't close to being over.

Also this week: White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles told a Republican audience the country will "find out" Trump actually won 2020. The $1 billion ballroom tucked into a GOP funding bill has Senate Republicans privately terrified heading into the midterms.

The Virginia Supreme Court struck down a redistricting amendment voters approved three weeks ago, wiping out four to five competitive House seats Democrats were counting on. And the Pentagon dropped 162 UFO files on a Friday, the same playbook Trump used with the JFK, RFK, and MLK files. - 05/08/2026.
