About this episode

Joe Pags discusses John Thune's support for Ken Paxton, the implications for the Republican Party, and the complexities of the Iran deal with guest Ted Poe.

Suddenly, John Thune is praising Ken Paxton — and Joe Pags says the political timing couldn’t be more obvious. He breaks down what the recent runoffs and primaries revealed about the Republican Party and why many voters clearly see it as Trump’s party now. Then, Pags asks the big question: if Iran is the threat everyone says it is, why is America still trying to make a deal with them? Plus, former Congressman and Judge Ted Poe joins for a powerful conversation on Iran, regime change, whether the U.S. should support revolution efforts inside the country, and what history teaches us about wars, negotiations, and strength on the world stage.
