About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing war in Iran, features an interview with Mike Emanuel about D.C. news, and explores the complexities of supporting flawed political candidates.

Happy Tuesday, "RevFam"! On today's show, we continue to cover the war in Iran (as news breaks that Iran has shot down a U.S. helicopter despite ongoing "peace" talks). Additionally, we welcome our dear friend -- Fox News Chief Washington Correspondent Mike Emanuel -- back to the podcast, for a conversation about D.C. news and goings-on. Finally, John and Dan discuss the mental gymnastics that some go through to support (deeply) flawed candidates in service of an overarching cause. Enjoy!
