Summary

Is this the start of a wider war, or just the opening punch of something worse? In this emergency episode, Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman react to the U.S. and Israel launching a joint attack on Iran. They talk through the removal of the Ayatollah, the immediate retaliation across the region, and what it means when the Strait of Hormuz effectively closes. They dig into Trump popping up at Mar-a-Lago looking wrecked, floating regime change fantasies, and shrugging at the idea that Americans might die. They ask what the end game is when missile strikes cannot create a new government and when boots on the ground is the only ugly path that even pretends to answer that question. They also hit the corruption story underneath it, the bipartisan permission structure forming in real time, and the nightmare detail that Kash Patel is running the FBI if blowback comes home. It’s Saturday. Everything is fine.
