Daniel Davis on the Iranian Missile Strike on Israel

Scott brings Daniel Davis back on the show to talk about the large waves of ballistic missiles that Iran shot at Israel earlier in the week in response to various Israeli strikes on Iran and its allies. Scott and Davis compare the strike to the one back in April, speculate on the Iranian objective and examine the larger context that this strike falls in.
