About this episode
The episode discusses the escalating regional crisis in the Middle East and the political response in the U.S.
A sweeping new overview highlights the escalating regional crisis as Israel claims control over a Lebanese gas field after drawing a Gaza-style “Yellow Line” near the border, raising fears of further expansion. Back home, frustration boils over as critics say lawmakers are more outraged over trivial controversies than the mounting human toll in the Middle East.
