Episode notes
Yesterday’s events signal a dangerous slide back into open conflict with Iran, as Trump’s latest all-caps Truth Social post, a mysterious drone strike on a UAE nuclear plant, and rising oil prices push the region closer to resumed strikes. The show examines how this foreign-policy crisis is bleeding into domestic politics, with gas prices, bond yields, and a stinging Senate primary defeat for Bill Cassidy all converging on the White House.
