Summary
Everyone yelling "World War III" needs to calm down. Buck Sexton is joined by national security expert Steve Yates to break down what’s really going on in the Middle East. Iran’s proxies are weaker than ever, Trump’s foreign policy is delivering results, and the people are screaming “ceasefire” before Israel could even fight back? Plus: What Israel pulled off against Hezbollah, and how Biden’s open-border policies made America more vulnerable than people want to admit.
