b"In written testimony this week to the U.S. Senate, the Chair of the U.S. Military Joint Chiefs of Staff agreed with Donald Trump's Secretary of State that Iran is in compliance with the 2015 anti-nuclear agreement between Iran, the U.S. and six other nations. He also argued that, in lieu of a breach of the treaty, pulling out of it as Trump has threatened would provide a disincentive for other nations, like North Korea, to enter any such agreements with the U.S.\\xa0 Also, Iran's Foreign Minister blasted the U.S. President today for tweeting fake news over the weekend charging Iran had test-launched an intercontinental missile. Then:\\xa0 it was Special Election Day on Tuesday in several states and, once again, Democrats picked up state legislative seats previously held by Republicans. At the same time, Alabama's religious extremist Roy Moore --who was twice removed as a Justice from the state's Supreme Court for violations of law, the Constitution and federal court orders -- defeated Trump's endorsed candidate Sen. Luther Strange in the state's Republican Primary Runoff election to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The win has led to shockwaves for establishment Republicans, deleted tweets by Trump, and questions for Dems as to whether their candidate, Doug Jones, has a shot at picking up the U.S. Senate seat in the deeply 'red' state in December's general election. Finally, speaking of radical religious extremists who place their personal religious beliefs above protecting and defending the U.S. Constitution, we're joined by the founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, Mikey Weinstein, to discuss a U.S. Air Force Chaplain who appears to be doing exactly that. Weinstein, former White House legal counsel for Ronald Reagan, details his group's legal complaints against chaplain Capt. Sonny Hernandez, whose recent writings declare that Christian service members who support the Constitutional rights of those who follow other religions are, in fact, tools of Satan. Yes, really. And, as the colorful Weinstein details, Hernandez is hardly the only one in the U.S. military to violate his oath to protect the Constitution in such a way.\\xa0 He says the problem of "Dominionist Christianity" in the military has exploded since Trump's inauguration, and already far outpaces the same concerns that led to the formation of MRFF during the George W. Bush Administration..."
