Unpopular War

About this episode

Jason Kander and Zach Wahls discuss the backlash against the U.S. war with Iran and its implications.

Jason Kander and Zach Wahls break down the growing backlash to America’s war with Iran as the administration struggles to explain why the U.S. is in the war, how long it will last, and what victory would even look like. They examine new reporting that the conflict is already becoming one of the most unpopular American wars in decades, the latest confusing statements from the White House, and the alarming warnings from lawmakers after classified briefings about the potential deployment of U.S. ground troops. Kander and Wahls also dive into the intensifying MAGA infighting sparked by the war, as prominent right-wing influencers and media figures turn on Trump over the conflict, exposing deep fractures inside the movement. Plus, if time permits, they cover the latest fallout in the Epstein saga, including a new congressional investigation and fresh questions surrounding the case.
