Trump Says the War Is Ending. A Navy Commander Says It’s About to Escalate

Former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh — who flew recon missions as a mission commander over the Strait of Hormuz — joins Tara to break down Trump's address to the nation and what it actually means on the ground. Ken calls the speech alarming, says the Pentagon has no plan, and explains why Iran doesn't need a navy or air force to win this war.
