Carte Blanche and an Inside Strait
About this episode
Harry Litman discusses recent political developments regarding Trump and U.S. foreign policy with guests Kristy Greenberg, Jason Kander, and Jasmine Wright.
With Trump's two-week ceasefire hanging in the balance, Harry turns to Kristy Greenberg, Jason Kander, and Jasmine Wright to make sense of a week of reversals and u-turns for Donald Trump. What are the new revelations about how Trump decided to strike Iran? And if the status quo stands, will the U.S. have lost its war of choice? Can new Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche do any better than Pam Bondi at sating Trump's appetite for retribution? And what do another pair of Democratic overperformances in off-cycle elections augur for November?
