“He Has No Intelligence.” Congress Finally Pushes Back On Trump’s Forever War. The Unsafe Summer Continues — Ebola, Iran, And An Unqualified DNI.
About this episode
Paul Rieckhoff discusses Congress's unified opposition to the unauthorized Iran war and the implications for future conflicts.
Congress is finally showing a spine. After months of all gas and no brakes, the unauthorized Iran war has become the breaking point — and for the first time in this administration, Republicans, Democrats, and the Angry Middle in between are unified in opposition. The country does not want another regime-change war. The country does not want a new forever war. And the politicians, as usual, are behind the people they claim to lead. Paul Rieckhoff lays out why this moment matters and why the pushback can't stop at Iran when Cuba, Greenland, and Mexico are already in the rhetorical crosshairs.
