About this episode

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta discuss the chaos surrounding the Iran conflict and Trump's contradictory messaging, along with issues of redistricting and attacks on journalists.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the deepening chaos surrounding the Iran conflict as Trump declares victory one moment and backtracks the next, while oil markets spike and the Strait of Hormuz teeters on the brink. They analyze the contradictions in Trump’s war messaging, the mounting costs of a conflict with no clear endgame, and new reporting showing Iran remains far more resilient than he claimed. Kander and Gupta also dive into Trump’s redistricting power grab, as he purges Republicans who defy him and pressures states to rig maps in his favor, even as his approval ratings slide and electoral losses pile up. Plus, they discuss worsening economic sentiment, a judicial nominee unwilling to rule out a third term, and the alarming pattern of attacks on journalists—alongside one reporter’s remarkable comeback.
