About this episode

The episode discusses Marco Rubio's admission regarding the Iran conflict and the implications of Trump's new negotiator.

Marco Rubio now says the goal in Iran is simply restoring the country “back to the way it was” before Donald Trump escalated the conflict, a striking admission as the administration scrambles to redefine the war’s objectives. Adding to the chaos, Trump’s new Iran negotiator is reportedly an Israel lobbyist who previously denounced negotiations with Iran altogether, while Israeli soldiers continue posting footage critics say amounts to self-incrimination online.
