Summary

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the escalating chaos surrounding Trump’s handling of the conflict with Iran, as Marco Rubio struggles to explain the administration’s goals and new reporting raises alarms about the long-term consequences of Trump’s reckless foreign policy. They analyze Trump’s rambling comments on inflation and the economy, along with a striking Robert Kagan piece arguing that Iran may have strategically outmaneuvered the United States while Trump projects weakness abroad. Kander and Gupta also dive into the implications of a major Virginia Supreme Court redistricting ruling and what it could mean for Republicans’ efforts to cling to power through manipulated maps. Plus, they discuss Trump’s unhinged late-night social media spree targeting Obama, Clinton, and other political enemies, growing concerns about his mental fitness, Kash Patel’s combative Senate performance, and new polling showing Americans increasingly rejecting Trump and Republicans on immigration.

0:00.0	Donald Trump and Marco Rubio seem not to be on the same page about the goal of the war in Iran,
0:07.0	despite having had weeks to align.
0:10.0	Trump doesn't care about your financial situation, and he's just fine with you knowing that.
0:15.0	The redistricting battle is in its court phase, and we're about to dig in and tell you whether all is lost. Trump stays up too late.
0:22.1	Trump is tired. He's also doing whatever big tobacco wants, which is an unwelcome throwback to
0:27.0	problems of the past. Cash Patel is big mad. Welcome back to the podcast for the 54% of Americans
0:33.1	who vote for progress and want to convince their friends and family members to join our majority.
0:38.5	All right, Jason, well, I think the story on Iran is the same old story. We've talked for a few
0:45.5	weeks now that the most likely outcome is status quo, which is very favorable to Iran. We'll
0:52.4	get into a deeper analysis of that, but I think as a starting point,
0:55.9	Marco Rubio was pretty candid about what their goals are here. Let's go to him.
1:02.0	As President Trump has said, and the facts clearly bear out, the United States of America holds
1:06.8	all the cards. There is no scenario here in which if they decide to join a ladder of
1:12.5	escalation, they wind up getting the last say. But our preference is for these straits to be opened
1:17.6	to the way they're supposed to be open, back to the way it was. Anyone can use it. No mines in the
1:22.9	water. Nobody paying tolls. That's what we have to get back to, and that's the goal here.
1:28.4	So that's the goal of the war, Ravi. Make it like it was before the war that we started.
1:33.5	Yeah. And, you know, Trump has been, I mean, even by Trump standards, is having a rather incoherent week.
1:40.4	And he says things on a daily basis that any one of them could be the most effective
1:44.8	midterm ad you could ever imagine and here's just one example of what I'm talking about
1:49.1	not when you're negotiating with Iran Mr. President to what extent are American financial
