About this episode

The episode discusses Donald Trump's recent deal regarding Venezuela's oil reserves and the U.S.-Iran conflict, featuring guest Tim Miller.

In case you missed it, President Donald Trump announced a deal that would give the United States a stake in Venezuela’s vast oil reserves on Friday. And over the weekend, the United States and Iran exchanged fire for the first time in a month. The Bulwark’s Tim Miller joins What A Day host Jane Coaston to break down Trump’s increasingly imperial adventures! Jane and Tim also take a moment to say goodbye to a right-wing activist who cheered on deportations and then got himself deported.
