When the consequences are impossible to escape
Donald Trump's promised two-to-three-week war with Iran has extended into its 26th week, with no clear exit strategy. The 60-day negotiation period for a new nuclear agreement and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz has also expired without a resolution, leaving the US and Iran further apart than before the conflict began on February 28th.
This prolonged conflict, which has contributed to rising gas prices and economic instability, presents a significant challenge for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections, as their previous promises of ending wars and ensuring affordability are undermined.
The episode also covers House Speaker Mike Johnson's struggle to make a midterm case for Republicans, resurfaced videos of Natalie Harp praising Trump, Trump's berating of a CNN reporter, his use of a cheat sheet, his continued use of mail-in voting, and BBC subpoenas issued to Trump's children.
