The episode discusses the recent killing of two US service members by Iran in Jordan and the implications of ongoing military conflict.
Two US service members were killed and one is missing after another Iranian strike on American forces in Jordan. That brings the confirmed US KIA count to sixteen since the start of a war that Paul Rieckhoff calls unauthorized, unnecessary, and increasingly unpopular — a war Trump owns, and one the White House and the Pentagon show no sign of winding down. Two more families are getting the most devastating call of their lives while the rest of the country tries to enjoy a lake weekend and the World Cup final. Paul refuses to look away.
