About this episode

The episode discusses the significant congressional shift regarding U.S. aid to Israel and escalating tensions with Iran.

A stunning 100 House Democrats have voted to cut U.S. aid to Israel, marking one of the biggest congressional breaks with longstanding bipartisan policy as the war continues to reshape American politics. Meanwhile, a Republican congressman is threatening to turn Iran into “a parking lot” if Tehran refuses to negotiate with Donald Trump, while reports claim Iran warned JD Vance that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were abusing their access to sensitive negotiations.
