Subscribe on YouTube, or check us out on Substack if you want it ad-free. Jessica Tarlov sits down with attorney and MeidasTouch host Katie Phang to break down Trump’s latest escalation with Iran — his 8:00 P.M. deadline, threats to strike civilian infrastructure, and the very real question of whether this is brinkmanship... or something much worse. They talk through what happens next, whether there’s any credible off-ramp, and how seriously to take Iran’s reported 10-point peace proposal. Plus, Trump goes even further on NATO, Vice President JD Vance heads to Hungary to boost Viktor Orbán, and the MAGA reaction — from Tucker Carlson to Megyn Kelly — shows just how fractured the right is at this moment. Meanwhile, calls for the 25th Amendment are getting louder — and they're not just coming from Democrats. And finally, Katie and Jessica break down historian Timothy Snyder's theory about Trump's latest military budget... and why it might be an attempt at a coup.

0:59.1	Aren't we at a moment, Jess, where we are literally living on the extremes?
1:03.2	We are 100% living, like, on the edges of everything.
1:08.1	Footnote, apparently we did do this for regime change, which everybody denied in this administration from day one.
1:09.7	But I guess now the latest excuse, according to this presser yesterday,

1:14.9	which again, nobody ever said what was the plan,
1:17.1	the purpose, or the goals behind going into this war.
1:20.6	Is it just a handful of autocrats want to be dictators
1:26.0	like Trump and Orban and others that get to divvy up the world.
1:31.7	Is that it? I mean, it's so, to me, frustrating that we just have these very small men with very
