Trump Says Ceasefire With Iran Is Still In Effect—As We Shoot at Each Other.
About this episode
Paul Rieckhoff discusses the discrepancies between Trump's statements and the reality of ongoing conflicts and political maneuvers.
Trump told Congress the war in Iran was terminated. Days later, U.S. forces are still being attacked, gas is averaging $4.48 a gallon, the trade deficit just hit $60.3 billion, and Senate Republicans quietly slipped $1 billion for a White House ballroom into an immigration bill. In episode 513 of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff delivers a quick-blast solo briefing on the gap between what Trump says and what's actually happening on the ground — from the so-called Iran ceasefire, to a forever war now spanning eight countries, to a Secret Service shootout at the Washington Monument that barely registered as news.
