About this episode

The episode discusses Congress's resolution regarding Donald Trump's Iran strategy and the appointment of Bill Pulte as the next director of national intelligence.

Four House Republicans side with Democrats to pass a resolution calling for the end of hostilities in Iran unless Congress approves further action. Is Capitol Hill showing its lack of faith in Donald Trump’s vision for ending the war? Plus, housing regulator Bill Pulte is picked to be the next director of national intelligence despite a lack of credentials for the job, putting into question the need for the department and the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
