Summary
Attempting to retroactively set the narrative of U.S. involvement in Ukraine on behalf of the intelligence community, journalist Adam Entous of the New York Times has painfully revealed in his latest piece the utter inability of the Deep State to accept reality at home and abroad. The hosts are joined this week by Claremont senior fellow Jeremy Carl to read between the lines and unpack the previous administration’s obfuscating of wartime details, now made clear, and the turn of public opinion thereafter—and the stalking shadow of nuclear threats, more real than initially predicted. Plus: A discussion of the Trump Administration’s early successes, its new approach to tariffs, and the Left’s unhinged response. And more!

| 1:05.1 | has been manipulated on this issue by the Biden administration from the outset. And in that way, it's of a piece with our conduct in all of our recent ones, |
