Summary

Chris Cuomo breaks down the two critical questions President Trump must answer about Iran that will define his presidency: Does America have to stop the Iranian regime from enriching uranium to weapons grade? And if yes, how? He argues that MAGA is imploding over this issue, with isolationists clashing with hawks, while nobody is offering real solutions beyond ""bomb them"" or ""do nothing."" Cuomo examines why Trump's best move is likely dealmaking rather than military action, despite pressure from Israel and his own party. He explores the legal constraints on unilateral military action, the distinction between the Iranian regime and its people, and why Trump needs to distance himself from MAGA's extremes to build the consensus necessary for handling this crisis. Plus, Dr. Kirk Elliott (Owner and Founder, Kirk Elliott Precious Metals) discusses how the Iran uncertainty is affecting markets and what investors can do to protect their assets.
