Summary
Ukraine says it will run out of money for the war effort at the end of the year unless the United States authorizes more. But that looks unlikely to happen without the Democrats changing border policy. Justin delves into the legacy of the Iraq War and creeping reality that closing the border might be good politics for Democrats.
Howard Mortman (C-SPAN's The Weekly) joins the show to talk about George Santos, Jim Traficant and the Iowa Caucus.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
